Pub Call

Happy Tuesday! Again, today was a beautiful, record setting Spring day in my neck of the woods. It was 74* and sunny! I made this card for an upcoming pub call. After finally getting my CuttleBug, let me tell you, I do not know what I did without it! It is awesome and adds such great dimension to ordinary cardstock.





For this card I used Colorbok and DCWV Cardstock;Floral Fantasy Cuttlebug Embossing Folder; Next Style Buttons; Gems from the Beadery; FloraCraft Glitter Spray; Katie & Company Stamp and Martha Stewart Ink. The call was for a card featuring BUTTONS. All of the embellishments are buttons, even the flower pot and dragonfly. I added the other buttons to the center of each embossed flower. Cross your fingers for me....

Spring Fever

Hi all! I sure have Spring Fever after our 70* weekend. Today the sun is brightly shining and my spirit soars when I see it.

I made this Easter card early this morning. I love the pastel colors and flowers. So simple, but oh so much fun to make.






Hope you all have a wonderful "scrappy" day.

Big News...May I Share?

I do not have a new creation to share this morning, but I do have Big News! I have had a card chosen to be published in Scrapbook News and Review March Issue! My first EVER publication and I am thrilled! It has certainly fueled those creative fires. Thanks for sharing my joy!

Stamp This!

Just trying to add my stamp to my card creations....how cool.

I'm Feeling "Cuttly"

Wow...talk about a belated birthday present....my Cuttlebug arrived today....after having been ordered on January 10. It had been returned to the company twice because my physical address is "undeliverable" and does not exist! Can you say "rural Appalachia?" After ordering for the 3rd time...and negotiating an acceptable delivery address....I am thrilled to say that it finally arrived. Thanks hubby for the sweet gift. Now if only the folders I ordered along with the machine will arrive?!?

For this card I used Birds and Swirls CB Embossing Folder(Wow..I had always wanted to say that :) Nature Preserve 100% Recycled Lime Green Cardstock; DCWV Glitter Stack Flowered Cardstock; Prima Flower and Button; American Crafts Spring and Summer Ribbon; K&Co Stamp; Stampede Ink; Martha Stewart Doily Lace Edge Punch; Fiskars Corner Punch.


I happened upon these cute Glitter Foam Shapes a couple of days ago at WM. I love their sparkle. I used the same recycled cardstock as above;FibreCraft SmartFoam Stickers; Katie&Co Stamp; Martha Stewart Ink and Prima PolkaDot Flower.Enjoy....Spring is on the way!

New Header

I just wanted to say thank you to my sister, Bonnie, for my beautiful new header. I worked on one for over an hour, but could not get it to shrink to fit. She made this and I LOVE IT! Especially the pics of us when we were kids. Thanks Sis! Love you.

I'm Back

Hi all! Whew....I am back to crafting and feeling the calming effect! This morning, hubby found me at my craft tableas soon as I awakened and laughed because I was so giddy to be making a card. I told him that he just didn't understand. I haven't crafted since the weekend and I was beginning to have withdrawal!

It was nice to work for a few days and feel like a nurse again, but there is nothing like a pile of cardstock, glue dots, glitter spray and ink to make me breathe a sigh of contentment.

After a few very cold days, today dawned warmer with sneak peaks of beautiful sunshine. It put me in an Easter mood, so I really enjoyed putting this simple card together. Even simple can be "glittered up" and made to shine. Have a great day...and happy scrapping.
