every star..

Hey guys! Thanks for dropping in. I'm sorry I've been so quiet lately. Lots of things going on here and crafting kinda gets bumped sometimes. I'm sure you know how it is! :)


Anyway, it's Wednesday and you know what that means! That's right, it's Color Throwdown time again. This week our hostess is Laura!! Here is what she has for us this week:

I'm not sure why "baby" popped into my head when I saw these colors, but I thought they would be perfect! Here is the card I created:

I just love that sentiment. It's fro the Papertrey Ink "Inside Out: Baby" set. Love it! I love the way the colors mix well together and it's not a combo I would have come up with in a million years! That's another thing to love and this is definitely a combo to keep! I hope you get the chance to play along with us this week!

Check out the Color Throwdown blog to see what everyone else came up with using this great combo! Hopefully, i'll be back soon with more crafty goodness! Love you guys!

FYI Fall

Hey! Quick post today. It's time for this week's FYI Challenge. Today we have a wonderful Fall photo:

Isn't it lovely? It made me think of a wonderful Fall outdoor wedding, so this card was born:

Be sure and stop by the FYI blog to see what the other designers created. Have a wonderful Thursday!!

birthday throwdown..

Hey there. I'm sorry I've been mia for a few days. Life is taking some twists and turns and, as such, my mojo is up and down,too! But, I am getting back into the swing of things this week! :)


Today is Wednesday and it's time for another Color Throwdown challenge! Broni is our hostess this week, and these are the colors she chose:

It's a traditional Halloween color scheme, right? Of course it is...but when I think of Halloween it makes me think of my stepmother because her birthday is the day before! I decided that since we don't really do Halloween here (well, we do, but not so much that I would actually do a card for it), that I would go ahead and make my stepmom's birthday card! So, here it is:

She loves flowers and thought this came out pretty much in a way that she would like. I was going to put a bow on it, but then decided to leave it as it was. Good idea or no?


Anyway, I hope you get the chance to play along with us. Swing by the Color Throwdown blog and see what everyone else has created! Thanks for stopping in!

happiness..

Hey there! It's Wednesday and time for another Color Throwdown challenge! Thanks for all of your congratulatory comments and emails last week. I'm still over the moon about being on this team. :)


Barbara is our hostess this week and she picked these colors:

I love these colors together. I'm loving Fall, so I didn't WANT to think Christmas, but that's exactly what happened. My first Christmas card of the season. Haha..

The papers I used are from the Odds and Ends pack by Cosmo Cricket. I love the vintage look of these papers. I don't usually "do" vintage, but I do like the papers that feed into that style. I thought they went well with this Papertrey Ink sentiment from the Stylish Sentiments: Holiday set that was released in September. I added a bow and used my Vintage Music background from Market Street Stamps. 

I hope you get to play along this week! Stop by and see what the other designers have created,too!

birthday cake..

Monday, again? Really? Great..


Well, I DO have a card to share so that's something, right? :)

This was made using my new Market Street Stamp set called Celebrate Cake. I used this month's Paint The Town Challenge over on the Market Street Stamps Blog. Here are the colors for October:

Stop by and check out what their designers have come up with and then play along. It's a great color combo!

Hope you have a great day today! Thanks for stopping in!

Make a Wish..

Hey there. Happy Sunday! Quick post today as I'm feeling a bit poorly. Ugh..


I am playing along with this weeks' Colour Q challenge. Here are this week's colors:

The inspiration piece is gorgeous, no? Love it. Here is my card:

I won a free set from The Craft's Meow earlier in the week and picked this Butterfly Kisses set. I KNEW I was going to love it, and I do. Isn't it the sweetest little image? I stamped the wings in Wisteria Wonder and cut them out to add a little color to the silhouette. So sweet.


Well, that's it for me. Thanks for stopping in. I hope you've had a great weekend. :)

Instant Witch!

Hey guys! Thanks for dropping in! Today, I have a cute little project created with my Bugaboo digital stamp, Instant Witch, for the Bugaboo stamps Trick or Treat ABC Challenge.

I decided to make a little hot chocolate holder. I thought the sentiment from this digi was perfect for that! Instant Witch..Just add water! LOL...genius! Here is my project:

Oh, Stella Witch...you're so adorable. I added a little of an old SU paper called Rockabilly, I think. It's been retired a while but I still have a wee bit left that i'm sort of hoarding. I colored her in with Copics and added a little ribbon.  Check out the Bugaboo stamps blog for more on this challenge and to see what others cool projects have been created. Thanks for coming by today.
