Pretty Cool Huh?

Happy Memorial Day! Hope you are having a wonderful Holiday for those celebrating. It's a busy time of year and only another week of school for my littleun!

I finally cut into my TGF Roll Call kit. There are so many adorable image, can't wait to play with them all. I am joining in a couple of challenges this week. Inlinkz is doing a boy birthday card challenge with a color challenge. I followed the sketch at A Crafty Little Place. My friend Carisa participated in the Operation Write Home challenge and so I'm joining in this wonderful cause and going to send this card and many others to this fun group that sends cards to soldiers to write home with. And Quixotic theme this week is embossing.

I did a little Memorial Day weekend shopping and got some fun new things :) How about you? Thanks for stopping by today!

back to TGF Blog

I made another card for this scraphop, but have a layout for you tomorrow! This kit is so versatile that even if you don't scrapbook, it would be great to have for card making!
I used my cricut to cut out this flower-then altered it to be butterfly wings. I just love this cute Anya and all the sentiments are just perfect.

Next stop is the super talented Jeannette !

I had to have this stamp when I saw it

As soon as I saw this, I knew I needed to get it. I have quite a few guys in my life who love video games.

I followed the sketch at DCRU and used a new cuttlebug folder I won from SSS .

Remember you have until Tues night to enter Nutshells challenge of pink & brown and until Friday to enter KLSNS challenge of Dies.

My sweeties card

I'm posting the Valentines card I made for my Hubby since I know he NEVER checks my blog. lol I have to admit that not many of my family and friends know about this blog. Since I started it, I kinda like having a little virtual escape with great friends from around the world that is separate from my everyday life.

I used TGF digi's. I have to admit I have such a thing for actual rubber stamping but the biggest advantage to digis is resizing them. Some images out there are sooooo huge! I love making a big 6x6 card but find myself not mailing these out due to not knowing how much the postage is.

I used some Christmas leftovers from Imaginesce, which is the theme at DCRU challenge. I also followed the sketch from Stamp Something. I know this is a valentines card but Anya/Ian are bundled up so nice it looks like Winter to me, which is Roses on Paper theme.

Thanks for stopping by today!

Baseball Pic & TGF announcement

A few months ago, I bought this image Baseball Ian, I printed a copy out and started to make a card. I had him all colored and then set my card aside to go cook dinner. The next day I returned to finish my card and the colored image was gone. I searched my craft space high and low and it was gone! So I'm imagining little tiny fairies that live in my house who steal things just to drive me crazy. I wasn't far off, except it wasn't fairies it was kiddies. I asked my daughter if she had seen a baseball pic and she said yes, ran to my son's room and retrieved it for me. The little beast liked this baseball Ian so much that he totally stole it. LOL I'll check with the kids first from now on, instead of creating fictional characters that live in my house and steal things.

So I decided to make him a picture for his wall with this little baseball Ian on it. I had stitched the red on the baseball, that's why they are going two different directions!


And now for my announcement. I've been accepted on The Greeting Farm Digital Creative Team. I'm super excited. I love everything about TGF and I'm sure the Digital items are going to be fabulous. Stay tuned!
Here are the other talented gals on the Digital Team:

Case of the Curious Card!!

Hi There! I took my daughter to Hannah Montana The Movie this weekend. She loves Hannah Montana and loves to sing and dance along with her. Needless to say she LOVED the movie and I actually enjoyed it also. I thought it was a really cute movie. So that's the inspiration for my card. She loved this card and she made one of her own.

I am seriously in love with these Greeting Farm images. I recently bought a couple Anya/Ian's and love playing with them. I joined in on the Greeting Farm Blog challenge "The Case of the Curious Card". I used Rockstar Anya and added some hair so she would look like Hannah Montana. I wanted to add text in a circle before I cut with my Nesties. I didn't exactly know how to do this, so 1/2 an hour later i figured out how to do this in Photoshop.

A few reminders, Hop on over to the Whimsy Challenge, there is a stamp up for grabs and good odds to win! Also The Digi Shack sketch challenge is still going on. You can win 5 free downloads by following sketch and using the free image (ends 4/21). Also Dog Gone Stamps is having a Dog Blog Walk 4/25 so make sure to join in for a chance to win some prizes.
