"Thank You" Card

On this Thursday I have a Thank You card for an upcoming pub call. (I know, you're getting tired of hearing about those :) Getting involved in the calls keeps me creating and keeps me "stretching" my creativity a bit with each one. I also "tingle" a bit at the thought of being chosen. It makes the process even more fun than it already is.





For this card I used Colorbok and DCWV Cardstock; Prima Flowers; Next Style Buttons; American Craft Ribbon; Kolette Hall for Studio G Stamp and Martha Stewart Ink.

Hope you all have a great day and "Thank You" for stopping by.

Wednesday Creations

On this Wednesday afternoon, I am feeling creative. My Dad has had a rough week, health-wise. He is in the hospital and our time is divided between visits with him and taking care of the home front. Card making has become my therapy! When I sit at my desk, I feel calmer. What a great way to deal with stress!

Both of today's cards are entered for consideration in an upcoming publication. How fun!



This card is for a "Button Call." I used 8 Next Style Buttons (including the butterflies), Making Memories Brads, Prima Flowers, Katie & Company Stamp, Martha Stewart Ink, FloraCraft Glitter Spray, Colorbok and DCWV Cardstock.




This card is for a "Floral Stamp Call" and a "Multi-Stamp Call." I used Colorbok Cardstock; Autumn Leaves Flower and Stem Stamps; Katie & Company Bloom Stamp; Martha Stewart Ink; Fiskars Corner Punch and a scrap of Offrey Ribbon.

Hope you enjoy my creations!

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!
