Happy Birthday Jessica!

I was fortunate enough to be asked to celebrate this special, crazy, outgoing chick's birthday hop and I couldn't be more excited!  Not only is she the brains behind There She Goes Clear Stamps but she is pretty hot too!  Happy Birthday Jessica-ho! 

I used this adorable set Jungle Out There, one of my favorites from TSG.  I had some Heidi Swapp stickers I have been dying to use so I knew today was the day.  

HAPPY BIRTHDAY MY DEAR FRIEND!  Thanks for 'hiring' me way back when no one else would....HA!  I hope you have the best day ever! Love ya GF! 

NOW TIME TO HOP!  

Thanks for helping us celebrate Jessica's birthday! Have fun hopping, and on the way, the last hop will be Jessica's blog, so be sure to say hi to her and wish her a HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!

Happy Birthday

Happy Long Weekend peeps!  We were supposed to have a very rainy weekend but it ended up being quite nice with just some sprinkles!  Love when that happens.  Even with the nice weather, I was able to sneak in one card. 

I used the MFT Wednesday sketch for my card.  I really need to stock up my card stash with some birthday cards, especially masculine ones but this one is too pretty for a boy.  

Just a quick note....make sure you send thoughts and prayers to those affected in that horrid tornado in Oklahoma....such devastation.  Let's hope they find more survivors!

For Mom!

I can't believe I haven't posted in a couple of weeks, where did the time go??  I think it had a lot to do with the amazing weather we have been having here in Calgary so no need to hibernate in my craft room. 

But I did put together this little one for my Mom for Mother's Day and used the MFT Wednesday sketch for  my card. 

Once you have that Pretty Poppies set from MFT, you can't put it down!  I do need to master the middle section of the poppy though, I see others adding centers to the flower and it looks fab!  And now that I see the card posted, I think I should of put the sentiment panel on Kraft paper.  Oh well, Mom loved it, thats all that matters! 

Alright, that's it for me today.  Need to get to work....oh lotto, where are you!!!  Ciao...

Congrats Grad!

Grad season is coming up and I have some good friends who's kids will be heading out into the world or looking to further their education.  I can't believe we have kids that old!  When I saw the MFT sketch last week and I loved the banner idea for a grad card, so I made 5 cards the same to have ready for June.

 

Coincidentally, they are all boys so it worked out well as all the cards are masculine looking.  I had to change the paper a bit, but only because I ran out.  

Isn't he handsome!  I love PI's!  I am sure you wouldn't have guessed that hey! 

Alright, time to get ready for work....lunches to be made, clothes to be put out...mostly for my husband....he has a hard time with ties!  Ciao....

Hey Cupcake

Morning my friends!  Can you believe we had more snow this weekend!  I don't know about that groundhog, he is a liar I tell you!  

So because of the crappy weather, I was able to spend some time in my craft room making a few birthday cards.  Needed to stock up my stash.  I used the MFT sketch for my card, especially the banner across the top, love that look!

I hadn't used Hello Cupcake for quite awhile and forgot how cute she is!  If you haven't picked up the MFT Blueprint die-namic, what are you waiting for, it rocks!  It makes card making that much more fun! 

Ok, I need to go and find my winter boots.  I guess putting them away this soon wasn't the best idea and switching them with my sandals....I girl can dream can't she!   Ciao....

Sweet 16

Morning friends!  Is it Friday yet?  uuggg

My daughters good friend Kyra turns 16 tomorrow.  That means Joely isn't that far off. I can't believe I will have a 16 year old, hell, I still feel 21...HA!  I wish.  Whenever Kyra comes over for a visit, she loves hanging in my craft room so I had to make her a card to celebrate her special day.  

Kyra is a 'ginger' so I hope my PI girl's hair shows that!  I used the MFT Wednesday sketch for my layout.  

I just love this PI, the hands on her hips is such a teenage thing.  So I knew this was the one to use for my card. 

Ok peeps, see you soon!  Off to work I go.....uuuggg!

Just Cause

Hello friends!  What are you doing....playing Candy Crush?  I hate that damn game...ok it is a love hate thing really!  I am stuck on 65 so does anyone have any pointers how to beat that level???   

I made a card tonight for no reason other than to try out the new Blueprints die-namic set from MFT.  How did I do?

This die set would be a great gift for someone who wants to get into card making.  It also helps when your mojo isn't working and need to make a card...wam bam, thank you mam!  

Now I am off to work on the MFT sketch from today.  See you soon....Ciao!

Happy Birthday with MFT

Happy Easter Everyone!  It is a wonderful weekend here in Calgary, hopefully it will stay this way and no more snow!  

I had time to sneak in a card this weekend in between all the Easter festivities.  This is for the MFT Wednesday sketch challenge.  

I don't know about you but this new Pretty Poppies set from MFT is 'da bomb!  I started with the red and black but after seeing all the amazing cards using different colours, I can't wait to try it with say purple or yellow!  

Thanks for visiting!  Enjoy your day hanging with chocolate bunnies!  Ciao....

HB2U Bro!

Monday already?  yuck.... But on a good note, we had a great weekend!  We thru a surprise 40th party for my baby brother this weekend and it was a huge success.  He had no idea and a great time was had by all!  Maybe a bit too much for some of us as I didn't really leave the couch  yesterday! 

So of course I had to make him a card so I used the MFT Wednesday sketch for the layout.  I have a hard time making a masculine card but with this set and matching die from MFT, it was a piece of cake...HA, get it, cake...birthday....ya, I am still a bit hungover! 

Thanks for coming to visit, hopefully see you again this week!  Ciao....

Sweet Sunday Sketch Surprise

Hello my fellow crafters!  I was totally pumped when I saw that my card was picked for Karen's Sweet Sunday Sketch last week which means I get to be the guest designer for today's sketch.  Pinch me now! 

I had fun creating this card but did have a bit of trouble with the small corner panel but I think it turned out ok.

Easter is just around the corner so I thought I would get a jump on my cards with this cutie from MFT.  Paper piecing is one of my favorite things to do and so easy too.  Especially when you have a one piece 'outfit' like this guy. 

Make sure you visit Karen's blog for a list of the Sweet Sunday Stampers who played along with this weeks sketch.  If you want to join the crew and maybe win for next weeks sketch, upload your card over at Karen's blog using the keyword SSSC180 and you too could be a star!

Thanks for the visit....Ciao!
