This post is going to be short and sweet with a quick post.  I did a card that I experimented with two things......trying to get hair look with color pencils, and also playing around with designed ribbon that I wanted to share with everyone.  In this card I used 4 designed papers (normally I work with three), but I thought since designs on several of them were tiny designed it would be ok.  I used the Marci Easter Bunny stamp and colored it with my Crayola colored pencils.  The other supplies of the Happy Easter ribbon, zig-zag bling, the clear bling and flowers are from Michael's and AC Moore Stores. Thanks for stopping in to view my blog.  I hope y'all have a happy scrappy crafty day!  

I am trying to squeeze in some much needed "crafty me" time to get some much needed cards done for upcoming holiday and birthdays.  It seems like I missed several birthdays already this year, so my average of being prepped and organized is not looking so great at this moment in time.  Oh well, I never said I was perfect.  LOL.    My Granddaughter KK stayed overnight last night, so we spent several hours coloring and crafting up some thoughts on card layouts and putting the plans into action and glued down.  So, here is my newest creation I threw together during our latest crafting venture...  As you can see my creativity was fizzing out by the time I was trying to put together something for the inside of the card.  Of course, my granddaughter thought this was the best design of several that I was playing around with, so I decided to go with her pick and roll with it.  Brown and pink card stock, three different design papers used, ...

I feel very flattered to have been asked to make a birthday card and specializing it to their needs of what they wanted in a birthday card.  So, of course, I had to take on the challenge and hopefully make someone's day for their Dad's special day to celebrate 80 wonderful years young, as well as putting a smile on Dad's face when seeing his specialized one-of-a-kind card. I felt slightly challenged with trying to put together a masculine card.  I also felt a bit challenged with what was I going to do without having the photo that she wanted to include in card.  So I decided to make a frame for photo and enclose instructions and several glue dots for her to add the photo to frame and then attach it in card. Here is my creations that I am mailing out and hope this meets the requirements that the order specified.  Can I complete the challenge with flying colors?  I guess I will have to wait till its received and reviewed.  Hope y'all like it too....Thanks f...

I have been having a crazy schedule and not finding much spare time for card making. I knew there was a special birthday coming up in which I wanted to make sure I had a card for.  But all of a sudden, the day is upon me and I still haven't start it.  The pressures of last minute make me go crazy and I find myself very unproductive and non-creative.  I surprised myself with what I put together considering I could not find much creativity sparks in me today.  I had my heart set on using the Yumi & Fumi Handmade stamps, and then found some papers I liked in my stash with some green in it.  When I think of March, I automatically think green.  Of course a girl's birthday must have some pink in it regardless of who or what age.....so pink it is.  LOL.  Yumi and Fumi stamps are colored up with colored pencils, and added a couple of stickers within my stash ....and  Ta Dah......So, here is my creation......Hope you like it......

I had to take time to take part in the last challenge over at Yumi and Fumi Handmade.  I had a great time trying to put something together on what spare time I had before Challenge # 30' time was up.  So I put together some design papers that I bought at Michael's Store along with some cute and festive ribbons, the heart shape was done with a cookie cutter I had. lol.  I did the Yumi and Fumi Handmade stamps with colored pencils.  Thank you for stopping in and taking a peak.  I hope you enjoy it and hope it may be inspiring too.

It's been awhile since my last posting.  Over the holidays I got the dreaded phone call that no one ever wants to get about a loved one dying.  I quickly headed out of state to be home with family during the sorrowful time of burying a loved one.  I just recently got back into town and am getting back into the swing of things again.....so since I had a quiet weekend, I took advantage of doing some card making and craft work for some much needed therapy.  I decided to come up with something for the TGF Challenge of the Red, White and Blue.  So here is my creation to be used for the TGF Challenge. 

      I am beaming with joy and excitement to finally make an exciting announcement!! I have been invited to be a GTD!!   I am very thankful to be given this amazing opportunity to partake in guest designing in the following challenge blog  http://7kidschallengeblog.blogspot.com/ .  I want to give a huge shout out of thanks to www.7kidscollegefund.com for asking me to be a guest on the challenge blog!       It was a blast trying to come up with something cute.  Wow, I had forgotten just how much Christmas stuff I had collected throughout this past year.  As I started going through some of my Christmas stash, I came across something that brought a smile to my face along with a bit of Christmas spirit and all the excitement of all the holiday festivities.  What a cute way to share with others the holiday spirits than to color up this cute pie La La Land Christmas...
