This weeks challenge for you "Loonie " Peeps is to use Tulle! Yes Tulle! I actually found some I had bought ages ago and the color may not be the perfect match but it was fun too work with. So thanks Regan for our little outside the box challenge!
Thanks for stopping by and feel free to pop on over and check out what the other girls came up with! Hugs!
Ok so this week's challenge is from Me!I wanted the girls to do a card with a unique shape or technique. eg... step-up. I went with this odd shaped card just so I could use my S.U dienamics.Worked out pretty well too!
Well thanks for stopping by! Big Hugs!And don't forget to spy on my other Loonies and see what they've come up with!
Ok so every year around Mother's Day I get in the mood for doing these awesome flower pot cards.They are so simple and I love how you are sending a bouquet of flowers that won't die,get squished or spill water everywhere!And if you are creative and want them to smell you can even add scented embossing powder some where on your card.LOL!There is a simply awesome easy tutorial at splitcoast if you'd like to try making your own.But I warn you they are addicting!!LOL!
And for the pull out piece
And now in Blue...
Well thanks for peekin!Happy Mother's Day!!!Hugs!
Ok so I decided to use this weeks sketch from I Spy Sketches to do my Loonie challenge of using a jar but seeing as that challenge is still weeks away I think I will share here and do another jar card as it was lotsa fun and I still have so many things I can do with my jar set from PaperTrey.
I love this paper from My Minds Eye.It has so much going on already,even before adding your own stuff to it.I love how by the little birdie it says"too cute"which I think goes well with the" Well Preserved "sentiment.
Well thanks for peeking!Big Hugs!
So this week I decided to use Sketch Saturday's sketch combined with Kraftin Kimmie's challenge. Kraftin Kimmie wanted us to honor our MOM's.I love my mom so this challenge was no problem and with a great sketch how can you go wrong!So here is the sketch...
Awesome hey? Look at all those layers. It was really a challenge to get it right but I think I did it justice!lol!
I love that my embossing powdered MOM was exactly the right peach to make it standout but not be too much.Yeah!
Well thanks for peeking and if you like doing challenges both of these amazing blogs have fabulous new challenges every Saturday!So check them out!Hugs!
So another great sketch from you ladies at Unscripted Sketches .I love how you can switch the sketch around.As You can see I turned mine on it's side to go with my image.And I was extra excited to see this sketch called for a quote. I just received my Kraftin Kimmie "Wizard of Oz" sets and they came with some great qoutes from the movie!!!
I know it's a little Halloweenie but I wanted it to be a little spooky!After all she is a "Wicked Witch"
Well thanks for peeking!Hugs!

Hello my special peeps! I have been chosen to be on Crafters Corner as a "Best of the web". Crafters Corner is a special blog that features stitching,handmade jewelry, crafts and ideas for the home and garden.They have a great post on ways in which to organize a craft room and if you are like me every little hint can make our lives easier.LOL!You can see that post here http://craftcorners.com/how-to-organize-your-craft-room/. Thanks for stopping by!Big hugs!
So since we are talking about craftrooms I thought I would share some pictures of mine!
This is my work area.I have this great horseshoe desk that gives me a whole bunch of stations to work from.All of the things I use for every card are front and centre.I don't know if you can see very well but inside my shelf is buttons.Yes all of those little jars hold buttons of every shape and color.Also I keep all of my embellishments in containers with spacers seperating them in colors, types(metal, glitter,etc...) and seasons or occasions.
My favorite thing is my card wheel shelf where I display all my cards and where my kids can grab one if they need them .
I store all my diecuts in binder like containers with magnetic pages . They are all labelled on the spines so I know which box holds which designs.Then I store them in a whicker basket on my desk so they are close at hand.
My sewing machine is something new that I'm trying to incoorporate in my projects, so I leave it out as a reminder to use it.:) Here's a tip from my good friend Wendy. I was always changing the thread color and it drove me nuts. When I told her I was doing this she suggested using a Kraft colored thread . It seems to stand out and seemed to work with all colors!Now I only change it for Halloween cards where I use black!
This is my small punches and embellishments shelf .As you can see containers with drawers are a must.Most of them are labeled and are easy to find.The white eaves troughing is my ribbon shelf .It works awesome if you are a ribbon fanatic like myself!This makes it easy to see the color you want and you can just pull on the ends and cut off as much as you need!Love it!Here is a close up.
I keep all my paper in files color coded and labeled in my desk top drawer and my bottom drawer holds all of my 6x6 paper packs which I keep in sandwich bags so I don't lose any scraps from the ones I've cut but might use the small pieces on another card.
In my large desk I keep all of my Stampin up punches as well as all the other lines of stamps I collect.
This desk also shelves all of my S.U diecuts and embossing folders. And of course all of the background paper. In folders and files.
Another must for me is my tinkerbell collection and my other cartoon characters I've collected. I think to be inspired you need to be happy and what makes me happy is them and pictures of my friends and family!Mwahhhh!
Well thanks for stopping by and don't forget to check out the Crafters Corner for some crafting inspiration !Hugs!
So I made my card with Sketch Saturdays sketch but...my demensions are a little off but they did inspire me so I'm giving credit where credit is due!:)
I just came across these adorable stamps from Nellie Snellin and they are the cutest things I have ever seen.I can't wait to do some more Stampede cards so you can see the little cowboy and girl! Can you say awesome!
Well thanks for stopping by! Big Hugs!
