Awash with Flowers...

Happy New Years Eve!

I hope this post finds everyone well! I've been crazy busy and totally unproductive in my craft room! I needed a small gift for a client of mine so I made her a set of cards. I used Awash w Flowers and AnnaBelles Squared Poise's to create these.

I used so saffron , certainly celery, pretty in pink and bashful blue. Nice soft color pallet! My client loves to send cards and is a great customer!

These are pretty CAS for me... they will be easy for her to mail!

Challenges:

Top Tip Tuesday – #66 Anything Goes.

 Simon Says Stamps – Anything Goes.

 The Cutie Pie Challenge use a sentiment

 Anything Goes - Blue and One Other Color
Meljens - Blue

That's it for me today! Be sure and come back tomorrow to see what the lovely Rose's have been up to! Have a safe and Happy New Years!

She does clean up very well and is drop dead gorgeous in a dress and makeup!

My card base is riding hood red layered with very vanilla and well worn dp. The sentiment is from happiest birthday wishes. The packages are just scraps of paper! I love how this turned out... it's kinda funky fun!

Last AnnaBell Blog Hop of the Year......... Ornaments!

Good Afternoon!

It's time for the last blog hop of the year with AnnaBelle Stamps. Today we are sharing ornaments created for your inspiration! 

My first one is pretty simple. The shape was cut out with nesties and embossed. I then heat embossed it with iridescent ice EP. It's Christmas it just had to sparkle!  The sentiment is from Stamped for Christmas.

The second is a little on the funky side. I saw a baby mobile made out of a book that looked like this! I'm not totally happy with the way it turned out but it was my first. I think the thing I don't like is the brad! Other than that it's ok! I used Ornamental Christmas on the front!

Here is a picture from the side.

Yep... it's the brad that I don't like! I will be making more of these, I'm sure they will improve! Be sure and check out what the rest of the DT has come up with!

Sweet Sunday Sketch... {NOT}

Good Afternoon!

I started the day with some major Mojo... and then life got in the way )-; I made a few things and then had to go grocery shopping. When I got back I cleaned house... you know bathrooms, bedding, laundry, dusting UGGGGGH! Then I had the great idea to rearrange my craft room! Hours later I popped over to the Sweet Sunday Sketch to see what was happening! It gave my mojo the jump start it needed!

My card base is pool party layered with very vanilla and spice cake dp. I used mixed bunch for my focal image and the sentiment is from always thankful.

 I think I finally settled in my craft room! Would you like to see a few pictures?

My little sis Pam made my create~s with her cricut expression. She didn't know what size I wanted so she brought me 3 different sizes. I just had to use all 3.... Thanks bunches Pam!

 I moved my counter under the window for some natural light. My room isn't very large so I need to make the most of what space I have! That's it for me today.... enjoy the rest of your Sunday!
OK I'm NUTS.... the sketch was for Nov 20th.....

Sweet Stop...

Good Afternoon!

I have a quick card to share! I saw the sketch at the Sweet Stop and just had to play. My card base is early espresso layered with very vanilla and spice cake dp. My focal image is from apothecary art and the sentiment is  from God's beauty. My flower was created using the new pleated ribbon. That's it for me today... DH is taking me to see Breaking Dawn (0= Have a great weekend!

Say it With....

Good Afternoon!
It's challenge time at AnnaBelle Stamps and I'm so glad you could join us! This week we are to say it with Christmas cards. Sooooo I made a set! My cards are pretty much one layer ! I created a poinsettia added a punched border , ribbon and a sentiment from Stamped for Christmas. Easy peasy... very easy to mass produce. My cards and envelopes all fit into my large envelope decorated with a Holly Branch image and sentiment.

Here is a close up of the card. Be sure and check out what the rest of the DT has come up with!

It's challenge time at AnnaBelle Stamps... Christmas boxes! Well I cheated a little. I have a granddaughter whose birthday is 2 days after Christmas. She always gets her BD gifts with Christmas wrapping.... so I've made a box for her birthday!  She is a girly girl! I recycled a box I got soap in.

I knew when I bought this soap I would be recycling this box! I don't know if you can see it but it's embossed!

This was pretty simple to revamp! I used a sentiment from Squared Poises 

and framed it with spellbinders. 

I added a few flowers, pearls and bow...... ALL girl! Be sure and check out what the rest of the DT has come up with...
