Taylored Expressions Sketch 115

Happy Memorial Day everyone!! It is nearly over....7:30 pm here at the time of my post. All company is gone, everything all cleaned up, nice long weekend coming to a close. I actually made this card a couple of days ago but just not had the chance to post it. It is for Taylored Expressions sketch challenge #115.

Here is this weeks sketch:

And this is my card:

At first I wasn't in love with it....but it is growing on me.....does that ever happen to you?? The brown CS is PTI, DP is double sided from October afternoon. The sentiment is from Taylored Expressions, MS fence punch & SU scalloped punch. The darling little flower is something I found at my local scrapbook barn.

That's it for another TE Sketch!! Thanks for stopping by! See ya on the weekend!!

While he is flipping channels I decided to post this card I made today :) I am playing along with  The Happily Ever Crafter challenge again this time. For this challenge we are simply to make a card or project using the color Red, orange, and or yellow. I chose red & yellow. For my lay out I found this sketch over at the paper crafts blog....I think it may actually be from the go to sketches book.

Happily ever Crafter challenge #6

Greetings fellow bloggers! I found the MOST challenging challenge!! Thanks to my BBGF Marge...Thanks Marge!!  :) The Challenge is from the blog Happily ever Crafter 

You will have to go check it out for yourself to get your challenge as they are not all the same ;) my challenge was to make a card using...a tree, some ric rac, purple paper and some stitching!!  see...cool & very challenging right! I am not exactly in love with my card but it was a blast trying to figure it out.

This is my silly little card:

I know, I know...from a design stand point I am sure their are a bazillion things wrong with it! The only ric rac I had that even sort of went with purple was this rasb. fiz I cut at Marge's house the other day using her new PTI Die. I really don't like stitching so I used this MS stitching rub-on....at least it matches LOL! Marge also gave me some of this scrap burlap that was out on my table (not yet put away) The Stamp is from stamps by Judith. The little brads have been in my stash for a long time. All paper & other stamps are PTI. That's it for this one! If you get the chance you should check it out...I think it runs till the end of the month.
Thanks for the visit! have a great day!!!

happy birthday cake

I am adding this cake to TODAYS CREATIVE BLOG 

If you like anything Crafty you need to visit every day (like I do)

Well I have spent most of my day in the kitchen today & very little in the craft room. My daughter needed a cake for a bithday at work & asked for my help. Well .....I made the cake while she napped! Oh well I love to bake but I SHOULD NOT be eating stuff like that!!! :) SOOO I didn't mind at all. This is the most delicious cake! It is dark chocolate with peppermint butter cream frosting!!! YUMMO!!!! The recipe is from the book "The Cake Doctor"  Instead of frosting decorations I made these little paper ones to stick on.....so cute!!!!

This is a close up of the decorations

The paper is really really old from denami,  punches are giga flower by marvy & scallop circle from SU. Stamp set I used is from PTI. The "40" was chippboard from my stash that was glittered with MS glitter. The sticks are "candy" sticks from Michaels. The fronts & back of the flowers are the same. That's it for today!!! Now that I have the kitchen all cleaned up....my craft room is in serious need of my attention!!!! Thanks for todays visit!!!

Card Patterns #62

Well here we are...Sunday again AND May!!! where is the time going?? Needed a card for my sister & today I used Card patterns sketch #62 for my inspiration. I haven't done a round card for a really long time. I was determined to make this card with no flowers or bows.....Seems EVERY card on EVERY blog has a flower of some kind on it! Now don't get me wrong, I love flowers!! I just really felt the need to be different today ;) this is the sketch:

This is my card:

No flowers. No Bows....just a lot of bling!!! The cute little stamp is from American art stamps. some of it paper pieced & some of it colored with copics. All the paper is PTI, the bling of all sizes is all just from my stash. Really pretty easy! I love my MS circle cutter. That is it for this weekend :( now I must go get ready for the busy week ahead. Thanks for todays visit!!!

Cardvarks monocromatic Mothers day

Wow It has been such a loooong time!!! I just realized today that next Sunday is Mothers Day!!! YIKES!!!! I better get busy with the cards! I used Cardvarks monocromatic challenge for this ones inspiration. Kept it really really simple as time is NOT on my side today!!!

I used SU very vanilla paper as the base & then used it again, run through the cuttlebug for the front of my card. I glitterd all the high spots of the embossing. I used cream bias tape for the bow...this stuff is sooooo cheap at the Scrapbook store! Just pennies a yard. Used SU 1 3/4 circle punch with a JRS on Very vanilla again with a glittered Rose for my focal point. MS punch for the scallopd edge.

That's it for this one....very easy, very quick!!  Feels good to back in the craft room again :) Now one to the next....have a good one!!!
