Happy Thursday!  Well, my computer is running, but it is definitely not up to top speed.  I can see a call to my favorite repairman in the immediate future.  I had a little stamping time last night so I used the sketch from Freshly Made Sketches:

as well as some inspiration from Carrie Rhodes’s card here, to make my creation:

I just love these colors and patterns together! Everything except the polka dot paper  is from the SAB’s Everyday Enchantment….I can’t put it down!  I used the EE brads as centers for my little diecut butterflies, and they are mounted on an embossed oval Designer Frame.   You might be able to see that I stamped the medallion from Fresh Vintage on the circles behind the butterflies:

I also added a little ribbon treatment and a sentiment from Tiny Tags:

  

The inside sentiment is a combination of elements from the SAB Fresh Vintage set as well!  Such a lovely image!

 

Thanks for visiting today….I want to share with you a little picture from before Christmas:

Trust me, this is a lot less innocent than it looks!  I had several “reassembles” to do over the holiday season!!!

Happy Tuesday!  I know my post is late....I believe my computer has finally bitten the dust!  OH NO!  I am doing this on hubby's computer....so bear with me!  All my photos are on my other computer, and my card is in the mail, so I have only one to share!
First, let's see what Arielle has come up with for our ColourQ Challenge today:

Isn't this super?  I took a little liberty with the colors, using some that are similar to the challenge colors, as they are very close to the Everyday Enchantment paper from the new Sale-a-Bration catalog!  And here's my creation:

 I used a new die that is in the new mini (starts tomorrow) called Fashionable Hearts, as well as the Fresh Vintage SAB set, Tiny Tags and Petite Pairs. I CASE'd this from my friend Rita when she made this card using the mini envelope die that hasn't seen the light of day in my craft room for quite some time! And since this is a wedding card for my college roommate, who just got married this past week, it makes it a perfect choice for the A La Card Monkey challenge 89, which is this sketch and theme:

I think getting married is definitely a fresh start!  If you have any questions about any of the products, shoot me an email (include yours as well) and I'll try to answer them!  I hope you can play along with our lovely colors this week...be sure to check out the ColourQ blog to see what all the other designers have come up with!  Start the year with our super colors!

Mojo 222 Birthday

Happy Monday!  No babysitting today, so I was able to make a birthday card for a friend who loves purple!  A monochromatic card using Wisteria Wonder and some new sets, coming right up:

I used the Mojo 222 sketch from Mojo Monday:

and here’s the inside:

Sets used were Elementary Elegance,  Fresh Vintage and Petite Pairs---new sets (except Petite Pairs) from the new mini or Sale-a-bration catalogs.   I am having so much fun with them!

I have been on vacation from babysitting this past week, so I don’t have any fresh pictures….this is from Christmas day…that glazed look when kids are enthralled by the TV or computer screen!  She got a little baby Leap pad:

Be sure to come back tomorrow for the ColourQ!

Happy New Year!

Enjoy your day with your family---we’ll be “de-Christmasing”, as my girlfriend calls it, the house today.  I thought I would share a little gift that my sweet blog friend Shirley created and gave to me for Christmas! 

Isn’t he cute?  Or maybe it’s a she?  The party hat is something I added…..a little fun accessory that I will try to change each month!!!  So stay tuned!  I haven’t decided on a name for my little owl yet…..any suggestions?    Enjoy your day!!  And be sure to come back next Sunday when the Paper Players challenges resume!!!

New Stuff!

Happy New Year’s Eve!  I had a tiny bit of time to play with my new SU goodies….not enough time, but it will have to do for now!  This card uses an Occasions mini set called Apothecary Art, a SAB set called Fresh Vintage, SAB designer paper (which is gorgeous) called Everyday Enchantment, some Everyday Enchantment organdy ribbon (also SAB), and the new Framelits Labels dies---about which I am SO thrilled! 

Not a complicated design, but just playing with my new toys! 

Hope you all have a wonderful NYE; stay safe!  I am praying for a healthy, happy, wonderful new year for everyone in 2012!  I can’t wait to get back to my normal routine….how about you?  Leaving you with one of my favorite funny fotos from this Christmas!!!

Felt Snowman

Happy Thursday!  I don’t have anything stamped to share today, but I thought I would show you the felt ornament I made for my granddaughter this year:

 

This was adapted from a pattern from Hudson’s Holidays.  I printed the label on some fabric  on which I had adhered some fusible webbing, then ironed it on the back.  Every once in a while, I just need to do some needlework!!  TFL!

Cassidy is still practicing with getting the yogurt IN her mouth and not just on it!

OCC, CCCB89 & Mojo221

 

Still working on thank you cards, and trying to clean up my desk at the same time!  I found a little Christmas kitten image I had colored and cut out, but never used, so I decided to use the Mojo Monday sketch 221:

making a small note card instead of a square card:

I also used the inspiration theme from Our Creative Corner, which is Home for the Holidays; to use something from your home to inspire your creation.  How about my little Pumpkin on Christmas morning:

Well, she’s not sitting in a stocking, but she is playing with some wrapping paper!!!  Anyway, she is my inspiration, along with all the country decorations I have around my house!  And since I “fussy cut” my little kitty out, this qualifies for the City Crafter Challenge for this week of “Making the Cut”!  Thanks for visiting today!
