I am so bummed today…..My new laptop crashed last week and Best Buy has had it for too long. I have gotten most of my files back; but, some of them I can’t remember where I got them.   I only had it for 3 months and didn’t think about backing it up in that short of time. I have definitely learned my lesson.     If you know where this design came from please let me know. I have a plastic box that I put all my paper cut offs in. It is so hard to use them up. I came up with this design to use a little strip with a side punch, and a little ribbon. I used a spellbinder die to put the print in a frame. I like the way it turned out and hope you do too.   Have a great Wednesday, hope you can get out for Church tonight. Thanks for stopping by.       I will be entering this card in the following challenges: http://www.crafterscompanion.co.uk/blog/crafterscompetition/2013/12/ribbons-twine-and-thread/ http://littlemissmuffetchallenges.b...

Today I am working on a super cute snowman card. I got this digi print from Meljens Designs.  I used a spellbinder die to cut out the image and then added some nice embellishments.   I think it turned out super cute, Thanks for stopping by.

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.

Today I am down in my back so I chose a quick and easy fall card. I got this cute digital print from Meljens design blog (her site is the first one listed below) and colored it with promarkers then used glitter gel pens for the leaves, super cute.   I used a spellbinder shape cut for the background and then attached some lovely leaf ribbon. I mounted everything on craft paper.   Hope you like this and come again soon to see what I am working on.

Today I have been working on a beautiful Christmas card. I purchased this digital stamp from Tiddly Inks several years ago. The great thing about digital is that you can make them any size you need, and it will never tear or not ink up right even after years of use, and storage is never a problem.   I colored the dress red with promarkers and then added flocking powder to all the areas that I thought looked like fur, Very nice.   I then used a spellbinder die to cut it out. The background paper is from my stash.   Hope you like this and come again soon to see what I am working on.

Today I have been working on a beautiful birthday card.   I purchased this print over a year ago and don’t remember where I got it.   (I got it at Tiddly Inks)  I have changed my habits and know put the web site on the file name. If anyone knows where this came from I will make mention of it. This is a lovely print and always colors well no matter if I use pencils or markers.   I like to use glitter pens on the wings and flowers…so nice.     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://craftycardmakers.blogspot.com/2013/09/100-winged-things.html   http://craftingbydesigns.blogspot.com/2013/09/anything-goes.html        http://www.simonsaysstampblog.com/wednesdaychallenge/simon-says-anything-goes/ http://craftcreatoins.blogspot.co.uk/p/blog-page_23.html http://paradeyourcrafts.blogspot.com/2013/09/pyc-4-its-al...

My mom finally felt better today so we went out to eat and to WM.   We didn’t stay long but at least she got out for a while.   I made a cute card today for several challenges.   This is a digi design that I got through free digital designs blog.   This is an awesome site, you can get lots of great designs (see side board for link).   B lack is the main pattern for this card with the pins and ribbon, but I used white pearls. I was a little worried about the pins sticking the person I will send it to Putting hot glue on the ends worked out well, I could not stick my finger after putting it on there.     I will be entering this in the following challenges: http://diecuttindivas.blogspot.com/2012/04/challenge-62-pearls-pins-punches.html http://shoppingourstash.blogspot.com/2012/04/shopping-our-stash-challenge-49-starts.html http://ribboncarouselchallenge.blogspot.com/2012/04/rcc50-anything-goes-with-there-she-goes.html http://celebratet...

I have not been feeling well this weekend, but today I am somewhat better.   This ever changing weather on north Texas is getting a lot of people sick.   My mom has had a cough for almost a month now.   I did squeeze in a little time in my craft room this afternoon and made this card.   I purchased this digi print online somewhere; I have had it a few years and don’t remember where I got it.   The flowers are Recollections, the paper is DCWV and a spellbinder die for the cut.   I used the sketch from simon says and the color challenge from cardz TV.   Thanks for stopping by hope you have a great remainder of a weekend.
