MTSC78 Great Minds Drink Alike

Hey everyone!! I wanted to make a quick card this morning...and something went terribly wrong, LOL!! I love the new, A Drink A Day set from There She Goes....but this card isn't speaking to me. Except for the umbrella drink part, LOL!!

I think it may be because I am tired, or the fact that I screwed up and put too many holes at the bottom for brads...but MEH!!! What can you do, right? I am super tired, and going to be late for work, so I guess the only thing I need to say is that I used one of Mercy's sketches from a few weeks ago......yep, that's it!!
Thanks for stopping by and have a great day!!

Hoot! Hoot! Hurray!!

I don't have anything recent to show you, but I didn't want to NOT post today, so I decided to show you another card that I made when I was a part of the Dirty Dozen. It is one that was made for the February '09 gallery. Here is a link to the info about that gallery, and what it's theme was!!

Since the theme was art, I decided to use my SUPER CUTE, Stephanie Fizer set, An Owl For All Seasons. I also used My Favorite Thing's Summer paper pack and ribbon. I saw this card in my folder and fell in love with it all over again...I love it when that happens!!
Well, that is it for me for now!! Hope you enjoyed my new/old creation!! Have a great day!!

Mojo 139....Did I Mention I'm Behind?

I know I said it the other day, but man am I behind on all the sketches I want to do!! I have a PILE of them printed out, and realistically will never get to all of them, but it is nice having them there when I need inspiration. Today, I have used a Mojo sketch from back in May, but I LOVE it!!

I used the SUPER CUTE Jolinne Sweet Spring set. Instead of using the girl in the set, I decided to use the sweet little bunny and flowers from the set. I added some grass to the bottom with my Die-namics Fresh Cut Grass die, and some MFT felt. I also used the Die-namics Cloud Die with some more felt.
Well, that is it for me for now!! Thanks for stopping by and have a great day!!

Crazy 4 Challenges- Paper Flowers

Hey Everyone, and welcome to this week's Crazy 4 Challenges challenge!! Mercy is still our hostess this week, and her challenge was to make a card or project using a paper flower that we had made ourselves or bought....fun!! Since it was her challenge, I decided to use her paper flower tutorial, as well as one of her sketches!! If you would like to play along with us, all you have to do is create a card/project and upload it to your blog and/or to your SCS Gallery using the keyword C4C42. Don't forget to go back to the C4C blog and link it on Mr Linky so that everyone else can see it too.

Before I talk a little about my card, I wanted to let you know that Lori Boyd has decided to step down from the team to focus on other endeavors. We wish her lots of luck!! Taking her place is the ever so talented, Maria Bell!! Welcome to the team!!

For my card, I used the There She Goes Domestic Goddess set. As I said above, I used one of Mercy's sketches from the first week of June, and her paper flower tutorial. I have actually seen her make a few of these in person, and mine pale in comparrison!! I screwed up and used one sided paper, though. Definitely needs to be double sided!!
Well, that is it for me for now!! Thanks for stopping by and have a great day! Be sure to blurf around and see what the other Crazies have for you!!

Can You Dig It?

Hey everyone!! I just wanted to pop in really quick with this card I made using the new There She goes set, By The Sea. Shockingly, it wasn't for a challenge!! I made it as a sample for my Wednesday Trends post from a few weeks ago, to use cork.

I love the images in this set, and the sentiments-as always- are to die for!! I mean, really?! Can You Dig It? How perfect is that??!! My cork, and yummy plaid ribbon are from My Favorite Things, along with the Jumbo Scallop die-namic used to make my scallops.

Oh, Alice!!!

Hey everyone!! Hope you are having a wonderful day!! Today is my Friday, and I am THRILLED!! I got off work at two, and don't have to be back until Saturday.....yaaaaay me!!! For those of you that are friends with me on Facebook, you will know that my Dad had surgery this past Friday. His surgery was pretty major, but everything went AMAZING and he is recovering slowly but surely!! The best part, he has now quit smoking...well, it has been a week since he has smoked, but that is the longest he has went without smoking in 46yrs. I am SO PROUD!!

Enough of my babble!! Today's card is one I made for the Oh Alice! Blog Challenge posted last Saturday. This week's challenge is being sponsored by My Favorite Things!! I wanted to stamp then, but I was too stressed about his surgery!! The good part is, if you didn't know about the challenge yet, you still have until the 18th to enter(follow the links to the challenge blog for more details). I also decided to use the CPS sketch from this past week, also sponsored by MFT. To create my scallops, I used my YUMMY Jumbo Scalloped Scallops Die-namic from MFT......LOVE IT!!
Well, that is it for me for now!! Hope this post finds you all well, and you have a great day!!

MTSC74- A Little Late

I love sketch challenges, so when I see a sketch I love, I save the picture to my computer, then print it out to use later. I NEVER get to use all of them when I want, so sometimes I get behind....like this one!! This sketch is one of Mercy's from WEEK'S ago, but I LOVE it!!

I used it to make one of my sample card's for my Wednesday Trends post on the There She Goes blog. My trend, was cork. I am seeing cork EVERYWHERE, and LOVING it!! I used it to create my background panel....kind of gives it a wood feel, don't ya think? My sentiment, and cute little hammer, are from the new Dadisms set. The sentiment that goes with this one is LOL hilarious.....you REALLY need to check it out!!
Well, that is it for me for now!! Thanks for stopping by!!

Dollar Find Friday

Hey everyone!! I'm here with this week's Dollar Find Friday post, also featured on the There She Goes Blog. My dollar find was in the $1 bins at my "not so" local, Joann's. It was this cute little address book, that I decided to make cuter.

I started by removing both the front and back cover. I then covered them with black card stock, then layered that with red and some Rockabilly DP from SU.

I then stamped the sentiment from the Dance set, and layered it with red. My flowers and leaves were stamped separately, then colored with Copics, cut out, and added on. I did add brads to the center of my flowers....for some reason, they just needed them

And there you have it, my altered address book!! Here is a tip for all of you out there....when adding your card stock layer to the front, be sure to use a strong adhesive. JUST DON'T put it where you are going to have to punch holes...what a mess!! Don't ask me how I know....

Thanks for stopping by!! Hope you enjoyed!!
