Sweet Shop Sketch SSS12

This week's sketch challenge at the The Sweet Shop is a really good one! I decided I really need a male card.....and I wanted to use one of the new stamps I purchased a few weeks ago at the Collinsville Il, stamp convention.



This stamp set is so nice! It also has a fish and fishing pole with it. I will have to use those on the next male card I make up.

Male cards are just not my thing, but I like how this one turned out.

Thanks for looking and have a great day!

Hey, its Project Tuesday time again!

This week we are making these really cute Ghiradelli Boxes. They are very easy to make and fun to embellish.

I decided to add a handle to mine, like a purse. This little box can hold the Ghiradelli chocolate squares. Such a cute presentation for a gift!

Stamps and Smiles Challenge SASSC23

Happy Monday! Wow, what a weekend....we went blueberry picking Sunday morning and picked over 5 lbs of blueberries! I spent most of the day making blueberry jam and freezing blueberries! I think I will go back on Thursday to pick Blackberries! My grandson, Coy, had a good time finding just the right color of blueberry to pick...and he really enjoyed eating the blueberry jam this morning on his toast....nothing like fresh!

Here is my entry for the Stamps and Smiles sketch challenge this week.

This was a really simple card to create, and I used some new digital paper I downloaded FREE from the The Next Level.

Thanks for looking and have a wonderful day!

Peachy Keen Sketch Challenge #2

Wow! I can't believe it is Thursday already! Time sure does fly by when you are on vacation!

I am not getting as much done around the house as I had thought I would! Unexpected things have come up this week, and I just haven't been able to get through my "to do " list! Oh, well...it will be there tomorrow! right!

So here is my entry for the Peachy Keen Stamp Challenge.

I think this flower face stamp is the cutest! If you didn't know, I won the challenge last week at Peachy Keen, so I am expecting some new stamps anytime in the mail! I can't wait to get them. These are some of the cutest stamps...and so easy to color with my copics! So you will definitely see a lot more from me!

Thanks for looking and have a wonderful day!

Stamps and Smiles Challenge SASSC22

Happy Wednesday! I decided to combine 2 challenges today, the sketch challenge at Stamps and Smiles and the Christmas Card weekly challenge at SNR card Universe where the challenge this week was to use the colors Red, White and Blue.

Since Anne didn't specifiy Navy blue for the challenge, I decided to use baby blue, red and white..and some other colors too!

This is a really great challenge site, we are making a christmas card every week, so by christmas I will have my cards all completed!

Usually every year, I spend hours making identical cards to send out, and they are usually somewhat simple to make...due to the amount I make. This year will be different! I will have some really neat cards to send out, that didn't really take much time at all...since it was spread out over 8 months!

Thanks for looking and have a really great day!

Stamps and Smiles Project Tuesday!

Wow! What a weekend! I am finally getting back to normal....we spent the holiday weekend at the lake with my husbands family! I also drove an extra 2 hours to pick up my grandson...I am on vacation for the next 2 weeks and I wanted to spend some time with him! I miss him since they moved 2 hours away!

And I hope you didn't miss the fantastic "Oh say can you see Blog Hop" from SNU Card Universe! It was super fantastic!!! A lot of incredible projects and cards to view....see my post below this one for all the details....

Ok, now back to the project! This was a super easy project put together by our own Vickilyn!

This is a bag tag!

I decided I needed a super cute tag for my laptop brief case and this worked perfectly!

I could also see this as a luggage tag, so when you travel you would have an easy way to find your luggage. I may be working on another one very soon.

Please pop on over to Stamps and Smiles Project Tuesday and join in on the fun!

Make sure you use Mr. Linky and show us your work! We would love to see what you come up with....

2nd Post today! Scroll down

This week at SNR Universe holiday challenges we were challenged to create a holiday card using bells. The bells could be on the paper, used in a stamp or actual bells on the card.

Well, I discovered I didn't have anything with bells....so a trip to Hobby Lobby was in order! Of course, Hobby Lobby already has most of their Christmas items out on display ....so it was easy to find these cute little bells.

I decided to use a new Magnoila stamp I just purchased, Santa...I love him! I don't think I have seen a Magnoila stamp I don't love!

If you are interested in getting a head start on your christmas cards, hop on over to SNR Card Universe Holidy Challenge and join us in the weekly challenges. You will have your christmas cards completed in no time!

Thanks for stopping by and have a wonderful day!

Peachy Keen Sketch Challenge!

I have found a new challenge site and stamp company to purchase the cutiest stamps from!
Peachy Keen stamps

The little boy with the surf board on my previous post was from Peachy Keen Stamps, and you will be seeing a few more, as they are just the cutiest..did I say that already?

This week at the Peachy Keen Stamp Challenge site, they had a sketch challenge, so this is my take on their challenge. I really like how it turned out!

I used my Big Shot to cut out the rustic hearts, and I hand stitched them to the card so they would match the hearts on the bear's blanket.

Hope you enjoy, and thanks for stopping by today!
Have a great day!
