I made this card for my son's sweet girlfriend, April who turned 21 today! Happy Birthday April :) After seeing ALL the dreamy designer papers that will soon...

I JUST love YOU...CR84FN13 54

Hi there! It's time for another CR84FN Color Challenge! These colors are a little brighter and bolder than last week's. For some unknown reason, my creative brain seems to turn to mush when faced with bright colors but I LOVE a good challenge ;) I combined various patterned paper with a stamped piece of my own using Musical Backgrounds. When in doubt, I seem to turn to background stamps to create whatever color of paper that I need. I stamped a...

Get Well Wishes...WMSC32 47

Hi there! I hope you are all having a great weekend! It's time for another Waltzingmouse Sketch Challenge.

Happy Foreverness 63

Hi there! T.G.I.F.! Are you all ready for the weekend? Any BIG plans? Not sure what's going on in my corner of the world but I do know that I am going to be one tired girl :( My hubby's job requires him to spend a night away from home every now and then and tonight was one of those nights! I never sleep very well when he is away~I hear every creek in the house and have a difficult time falling asleep so I thought, "why fight it?" just stay awake...

Get Well Wishes 46

Hi there! Hope you are all having a wonderful day!  I had some "me" time so I made a Get Well card using some pretties I recently found while browsing around my local craft store. I came across this gorgeous K&Company patterned paper and coordinating epoxy stickers. The colors are a bit out of my norm but I am lovin' the soft earth tones. What do you think? When paired with a doily made using a die from S5-040 Floral Doily Accents collection...

PTI January Blog Hop Challenge 106

Hi there! Here today to share a card I made for the PTI January Blog Hop Challenge. It has been months since I participated and I am so happy I had a chance to play this month! Nichole is challenging us all to use a Papertrey stamp set that either has not seen ink or one that may be collecting dust. (We all know how that goes!) I blew the dust off Spiral Bouquet and got busy. I was inspired by a card created by Betsy Veldman (click HERE to see Betsy's...

A Friendly Valentine 50

Hi there! I hope you all had a great weekend :) What did you do? Did you watch football or spend time getting crafty? Scott enjoyed watching football and I had fun playing with my crafting supplies. We did go for a hike up South Mountain and we even made it to the gym (my other healthy addiction). I'm here today to share a Valentine's Day card that I made for the JustRite Friday Challenge #047 which is to create a love, wedding or anniversary project....

Hi there! Here today with an all new CR84FN Color Challenge! I am thrilled to pieces to see so many players join in the fun week after week and to see so many sweet friends sign up to follow the challenge :) Many thanks!
