Hello little Valentine!

Quick post today. Very, very simple 3x3. This card has a real red c/s base with a middle panel from a retired SU! dsp pack. I distressed the edges of the dsp. I stamped the heart from the Out of the Box SU! stamp set in Pretty in Pink ink then cut them out. I popped 2 up on dimensionals. I used my stamp-a-ma-jig to stamp the sentiment with white craft ink then added some pearls. This is a simple card to mass produce for Valentines. This was made from scrap c/s & paper.
TFL!

Until next time...

Ildi Co. Challenge #7 - Oh Pooh!

This is my card for the Ildi Co. Challenge #7 found on their blog here. We were to use scraps and metal. Every piece of c/s and paper (even the base...ha ha ha) is from my scrap container! For the metal I used 2 brads on the red panels.

I used watercolor pencils, blender pen and Bic Mark It markers to color the image. I couldn't find the right color for Pooh so I had to mix some pencils and then he started peeling up a little. Not my best work but....

Oh and the little accent on the top left corner...that's a piece from the goodies I got from my Crafty Critter Secret Sister....APRIL! Love ya girl ;-)

Thanks for visiting!

Until next time...

Thinking Spring :)

Hi Bloggy Friends! :) I hope you're doing well and having a relaxing day!
All this cold weather here in Bama country is making me long for Spring. Even though my allergies are horrible then, I'm tired of being COLD!
Here's a card for all of you longing for a 70 degree breeze too:

I started with Kraft c/s. Then layered with a piece from a My Mind's Eye paper stack. Orchid Opulence backs the stamped panel. I hand drew the stems. Then used the heart and flower from Out of the Box stamp set. I stamped them in Perfect Plum and Pixie Pink inks. Then cut them out and added thread and buttons. I wrapped a piece of Olive sheer ribbon around the bottom. The punched sentiment is from fundamental phrases (lg. oval punch) and scalloped oval punch behind that. On the sentiment I made some punched holes (with a needle). I don't have the mat pack yet from SU! I think I need to invest in that. I love the look of the needle holes.

I hope you got a little warmer visiting me today :)

Until next time...

A Few more Disney pages

Here are a few more pages from my Disney album.
This first page is from our Safari tour/ride.


I made the title for this double layout from an LOTW swap I hosted last year. Yay me for using some swap stuff!
This next page is of the strange grapevine lady. We were walking along and all of the sudden the big grapevine that was on the pole started moving! Weird!

I made my title with the outline alphabet from SU!
Have a great day/evening and come back soon! :)

Until next time...

Finished Scrappin' Disney

Happy Friday! It is bitter cold here with lots of roads closed b/c of ice and snow. So, yesterday and today (with school being closed, so no work for me) were great crafting days!
I finished my 2007 Disney album yesterday.
Here are 3 pages I worked on.


This is actually the last page of my album but for the life of me I can never remember how to line the pics up to get them uploaded in the order I want them in. I used page candy from a swap I hosted last year.


This is one of my favorite pages I did for this album. It's very simple (who would've thought I would like simple? (giggle)) I cropped this closer on my computer but now it's decided to 'uncrop' itself, sorry it's so far away.

Here's another that doesn't like it's close up. Crud!!! Well, this is a page from the Lion King Production at DW. If you haven't been to that you should go next time you visit. It was Wonderful! It was really dark in the building so my pics didn't turn out good but I just had to include them. I punched lots of circles in Crushed Curry and some pp then inked the c/s and placed them randomly.

Have a great weekend! :)

Keep warm.....brrrrrrr

Until next time...

Crafty Critters Challenge #15

Hello!

This is my card for our blog group's 15th challenge. Terria was our hostess and she challenged us to make a girly card with buttons.
My card is 5 1/2" square. I used papers from a My Minds Eye paper stack. I used a Sugar Nellie image. I colored her with my Bic Mark It markers and SU! chalks.
My inks are Pumpkin pie and Rose red.

I used the SU! stamp set Happy Everything for the sentiment. Then threaded some pumpkin thread/yarn through the buttons.

I hope you enjoy this creation. Have a great, crafty day!

Until next time...

Pop goes the cupcake!

Hello!
I needed to make a birthday card for my MIL. I hardly ever use the color purple and I had a stamp set from about 5 months ago that I never mounted or used. Sooooo, that's how this card was born.

I used orchid opulence as my base. A piece of certainly celery dsp (retired) in the middle.

Stamp sets:

Congrats (retired)

Out of the Box (hostess)

I had never opened Out of the Box. I ran across it this afternoon and knew I had to ink it up. I used my stamp-a-ma-jig for the main image (it's 3 stamps) and the sentiments. I still got 'Congratulations' a little off so I tried to cover it up with a piece of white c/s. I colored the image with my watercolor pencils and blender pen. The cupcakes frosting is dark purple but it looks black in the pic. I think it turned out cute even without embellishments.

Until next time...

I finished an album!!! Woo! Who!

Well hello! Happy January 1st to ya!!! I hope you're having a great year so far...hehehehe :)

I vowed to get some scrapbook pages done today. I followed through and got 3 finished. This also finishes my kiddos 2006 Christmas picture album. Wooooo! Whooooo! It feels like I have been working on this album foreverrrrrrrr.

Now to start my 2008 album. I am a yearly album kindof scrapper. Although I am working on a Disney album right now too. I try to scrap in order. It throws me off if I scrap out of order. I feel I will loose a picture or miss one and find it later, then not have any room in the album for it. I know I overthink this whole scrapping thing don't I? :)

I'm a simple scrapper...I love my pictures to stand out.

The last two pages were designed using the NYD Mini Crop Challenge #3 on SCS. We were challenged to use scraps. Anytime I get a chance to use that accordian folder of 'mess'....excuse me scraps....is a good thing.

Until next time...

Blessings...
