Happy, Happy Friday everyone hope you have a great weekend planed.  I hope to see some of my grand children play ball on Saturday. 

I pulled out the ornamental Iron2 and flower shoppe cartridges today to make this card.  I also used SU paper, glossy accents and a little glitter.

I went to JA Tuesday, they have some great savings on their craft items that are mostly 50% off, I really stocked up on adhesive.  I have tried a lot of different adhesives to close and put these rolled flowers on a card, a lot of them don’t hold very long, the flowers are just too heavy.  I have found that hot glue is the most reliable way to make it stay where you put it.  



Hope you have a wonderful weekend. Thanks for stopping by.

I will be entering this in the following challenge:

    I totally agree about the adhesive I find the hot glue is the best. Have you tried the sparklie hot glue sticks they make for an interesting look at the bottom. Love your card and the flowers

Today, as is most days, I am working on cards.  I just sent off a batch to OWH and I need to get my stack ready to send out again. Next week will be spring break and I thought I would do a spring like card. I just love the Teddy bear parade cartridge and this little bear for St Patrick's day. I used some stickles on his pot of gold and hat band and lots of green paper.  Hope you like this and will come again soon. These are the challenges I will be entering: http://www.ttcrd.blogspot.com/2014/03/through-craft-room-door-march-4.html http://everybody-art-challenge.blogspot.com/2014/03/268.html http://challenges4everybody.blogspot.co.uk/2014/03/challenge-39-anything-goes.html 2 Cute ink - http://2cuteinkchallenges.blogspot.com/2014/03/challenge-101.html http://www.cardsinenvy.blogspot.com/2014/03/think-green-challenge.html http://fantabulouscricut.blogspot.com/2014/03/fccb-challenge-200-pick-holiday.html http://ppp-makeitmonday.blogspot.com/2014/03/mim181-with-time-fo...

I found this cute digital image in my library, I don’t know where it came from. But it is so cute and just made me think of Halloween and fall.  I had these cute leaves in a draw loose, and thought they added a nice touch to the card. I used Prismacolor markers and gelly roll pens for coloring the image.  I love the cooler days and this morning I was able to enjoy my coffee on the porch, God knows we need this rain. I checked the gage this afternoon and we got .70 here in north Texas.  Thanks for stopping by.  Sorry the photo is a little crooked.  Hope you like this and come again soon to see what I am working on. I will be entering this card in the following challenges: http://www.jadedblossom.com/2013/10/october-challengeanything-halloween.html http://craftspotbykimberly.blogspot.com/2013/10/monday-challenge-115-3d-halloween.html http://www.abcchallenges.blogspot.com/2013/10/abc49-halloween.html http://cisforchallenge.blogspot.com/2013/10/c...

I can’t believe it will be Valentine ’s Day next week. I have a few anniversaries this month also to make cards for.  I used my Cricut to make this wonderful bear from the Teddy Bear Parade cartridge. I embossed the hearts and designed the card from the MOJO sketch.   This turned out so cute. Thanks for stopping by, come again soon.  The Challenges: http://mojomonday.blogspot.com/2014/02/mojo-monday-331-contest.html http://ppp-makeitmonday.blogspot.com/2014/02/mim177-with-milk-coffee.html http://challenges4everybody.blogspot.co.uk/2014/02/challenge-38-anything-goes.html http://onecrazystampercom.blogspot.com/2014/02/february-anything-goes-challenge.html http://heather-bittenbythebug2.blogspot.com/2014/02/valentine-heart-challenge.html
