ConGRADulations!

Happy Friday my friends!!!  We have a busy weekend planned.  Our community garage sale is this weekend and my garage is so full of stuff we can hardly walk around. I hope we get rid of most of it and if not, the Salvation Army is going to be very happy.

My god daughter is graduating from nursing here next week and I can't wait to see her walk across the stage! So of course, I had to make her a card for the event.  I used Jen's May sketch for the layout.

This is one of my favorite a la mode's from MFT.  I love paper piecing the scroll for her. 

Congratulations Nicole!  We are so very proud and love ya lots!

Forget, Me???

That title is so true with me these days, I don't know where my mind is!!!  Must be age....yuck!

I snuck,  just in time, my card for Jen's SFYTT sketch for last month!  I wanted to wait and use my new There She Goes Stamps for the card as they were the sponsor, and I got them just in time on Monday and the card had to be in by midnight!  Talk about rushing.  But I love how it turned out!

I love Jessica's cards lately!  She uses tons of layers on her images and they look wicked.  I mean look at all of these she recently did, so hot!!!   So I kind of copied her brilliance for mine.  I mean come on, could 'Ellie' be any cuter....NOT!!!!    Have a great day....Ciao!

Stuff:   Stamps - There She Goes Stamps Jungle Out There;   Paper - Melon Mambo, White, Cosmo Cricket paper;   Supplies - MFT Die-namics, Nestys, embossing folder, white brads, Copics

 

Loonie Stampers Challenge

TGIF!  Look at those great colours by my BFF Char!  I think she picked them just for me as I am sure they are the three most used colours in my craft room!  Thanks ho! I wonder what the other chicks came up with, let's go and look shall we! 

Char  Dee  Jewels  Maria  Regan

 And look what stamps I got in the mail just in time for this challenge, Kim Hughes new Paper Smooches stamps!!!  As soon as I saw her releases, I pushed 'add to cart' so fast, it would make your head spin!  Love her stuff and so glad to see she is 'back on the market'!! 

I also used Jen's sketch for March which I loved!  All the panels just worked and I love when a card comes together with ease.  Alright everyone, have a wonderful Friday and maybe see you this weekend!  Ciao! 

Stuff:   Stamps - Paper Smooches Birthday Buddies;  Paper - Kraft, Chocolate Chip, Berry Sorbet, White, Papertrey and October Afternoon dp;   Supplies - PTI buttons, SU hardward, Nesty's, crocheted lace, Copics

 

CJ or TJ?

One of my BFF's sister is going to have their first child any day now and I know they are struggling with what to name the little 'guy'...yes, they are having a boy!   I vote for CJ only because I am a little partial to that as my new nephews name is Charles John so we are calling him Charlie or CJ.  So Sara, go with CJ!  Then I won't forget it!!!  :)

And what a great reason to make a card then the birth of a baby...seems like just yesterday Joely was born and now she is going to be 14!  Wow, time really does fly!  Enjoy every minute Sara! 

I used Jen's February sketch for this one and loved how it turned out.  You know it was a great sketch when your card turns out better than you expected!   Thanks Jen!  Now off to mail this and hope it gets there just in time for 'CJ'!   Ciao!

I {heart} Sketches...too!

I have always wanted to regularly do Jen's sketches but never could find the time.  But this year she is changing it up a bit and only doing one per month.  Then if you participate every month, at the end of the year, she is going to be giving away a BIG prize that is valued over $200!  So my answer to that is why wouldn't you join in,  you have all month to enter so that is great!  The sponsor for January's sketch is The Cat's Pajama's so out came Big Bear for my card!  He is just too cute!  

Ok, off to shovel the driveway....again!   Ciao!

Stuff:   Stamps - the Cat's Pajama's Big Bear;   Paper -  Kraft, Early Espresso, MME paper, Xpress-it white;   Supplies - TCP Cut-up, SU ribbon, MFT mini brads, Copics

Thursday you say...only one more day till our long weekend.  YES!!!  I hope the weather stays nice.  In the past, our May long weekend is known for the week prior to be sunny and warm then the weekend comes and all us campers head out and we get snowed on here in Calgary.  Fingers crossed that won't happen this year!

Jen's sketch this past Saturday had it's challenges for me.  I just couldn't get the panel in front of the oval to work so behind it went.  But overall I love how my card turned out!  Joely has a friend who is a dancer and her recital is coming up so this will definitely be going to her! 

Have a great day and see you tomorrow for Loonie Friday!

This week I snuck in some time and did the sketch from Jen at i{heart}2stamp.  It was sponsered by My Favorite Things and one lucky winner would get $25 to spend at the store and a new Jumbo Die-namics, now that is something you'd want!!!  

I used of course my Pure Innocence from MFT, this one is new and called Book in Hand.  Super cute but aren't they all! 

Have a great Thursday....only more day and it's the weekend...WOO HOOOO!!!   See you tomorrow for Loonie Stampers Friday!   Ciao!

Sending {heart} to Susan

Jen's sketch this week is great!   She decided to dedicate it to her dear friend Susan Liles (and her hubby, Eric).  Eric has been diagnosed with lymphoma and started his chemo treatments this past week.  She thought it would be nice to send them a card using this sketch just to let them know we are all thinking of them at this time.  I thought that was super sweet so I knew I wanted in on that action! If you would like to send her one, go to Jen's blog and she has all the mailing info!  

I pulled out my new fave stamps and I bet you can't guess?  Your right, Pure Innocence girls!  Am I that predictable??  My middle panel is a bit bigger as I didn't have the {heart} to cut her in half!  LOVE the new dp from My Minds Eye, Quite Contrary.  It is textured like the dp from SU a year ago I loved, remember that one?  Anyhoo, I am off to Wii a bit this morning and then shopping!!  Oh how I love Sundays!  Ciao!

STUFF:  Stamps - MFT Pure Innocence, PTI sentiment;  Paper - cream, chocolate chip, MME Quite Contrary dp;  Supplies - Nesty's, Copics, Sewing, SU ribbon, Martha tag punch

i {heart} 2 Stamp Sketch

I have had some extra time this week to make cards because I am starting to SEE!!!  Yeah for me!  About time hey as the surgery was almost a month ago!  But the dr did say to be patient so I did really try...NOT!  Anyway, I was able to do a couple extra challenges this week.  One being this sketch at Jen's blog. Love the sketches! 

I am almost out of my cloud paper from My Mind's Eye!  I hope I can find more.  I brought out my CC Designs as spring is hopefully here and we really need some rain now to clean it up.  We put so much gravel on our streets because of all our snow that when it melts it is so dirty and yucky! But we can't clean the streets yet as we do live in Alberta and we have had snow in July!  But not this year, I have a feeling it is going to be a great spring/summer for us!

Ok, off to work!  Everyone have a great day!

Stuff:  Stamps - CC Designs;  Paper - Kraft, Read Red, White, My MInds Eye dp;  Supplies - Nesty's, PTI ribbon, Copics, Sewing

I {heart} 2 Stamp Sketches Contest

I was able to play along with Jen's Sketch For You To Try Contest for February.  Each Saturday she put out a different sketch and then she was going to pick a winner from all the submissions and oh boy, what a prize pack it is!  See here:

Here are my cards that I sent in to win the amazing prize package!  Fingers crossed!  

Well, wish me luck!  I think it is a random draw though so my chances are like one in one million!!!  That is how many entries she got....really!  LOL   Have a great day!
