BLOG HOP!!

I am so excited about this blog hop because I get to use something I've already made!  My inspiration was a bottle tag that my sister Steph gave us last Christmas (way before I ever started crafting) and I loved it so much I held onto it all year long!  I love Papertrey's shimmer paper and the white and blue look so great together.  The stamp is from Papertey's Tree Trimming Trio.  Hope you like it :)

HAPPY BIRTHDAY CHAR!!!!

Sorry it took so long to post Char's birthday card, I've been sick with the flu and finally dragged myself out of bed because I couldn't miss out on such a wonderful blog hop to celebrate such a wonderful lady!!!  Please forgive me for not linking all the other great people participating today but I know you all can find the links through Steph's blog!  Happy Birthday Char, hope you have an awesome day!!!

Embellish Challenge

I haven't posted in a while...we were all sick with a nasty cold but are all feeling better now!!  I have so many cards to put up but for today I am just putting up the Embellish challenge...it was such a great challenge and I don't want to miss the deadline!  It's hard to see but in the middle of ribbon I used matching brad and rhinestone...I know the challenge called for lots of bling but I love how simple the card turned out with just a bit, hope you like it!

HAPPY WCMD!!

HAPPY WORLD CARD MAKING DAY! to everyone out there who is participating in the moxie fab bloghop today :)  Still hoping to make a brand new card just for today but until then hopefully the cards I made for Jessie's baby show will work!  Thanks for visiting and have a great card-making day!!

Raspberry Suite Color Challenge #17

This is my first Raspberry Suite Challenge!  I can't believe I've waited this long to do one...the color combo's are always so interesting and thanks to Steph, I had all the Papertrey colors(paper@buttons) that I needed!

LSC#59

Well I hope I get this right!  This is my first card for a challenge and for as simple as the challenge was, boy was it ever hard!  The Loonie Stamper's Challenge this week was a single layer card but with my need to layer, it sure did make me wonder what to do, lol!  I love the color combo, pink and black...my favorite and I got to use some of wonderful stuff I raided from Steph's craft room :)  Hope my first attempt at links work...finger's crossed!!

Favorites :)

Here are some of my favorite cards that I've made so far!

Been a little busy this week trying to get house organized before Xavier gets home from his grandma's farm.  Got a chance to go to my sister Steph's house and raid her craft room...it was awesome, Steph helped by explaining how things work and gave me lots of great pointers(and a ton of stuff too!)...I can't wait to make some more cards!!

Love this ribbon(thanks Steph!)  although I found it a little tough to make sure it didn't turn out too much like a christmas card because of the colors!  I'm happy with the final look and loved how the bow turned out :)  I used cuttlebug to emboss paper, nestabilities to cut sentiment card and stamp from Gina K Designs(thanks Char!)

here are some of my cards :)

So this is my first attempt at blogging...here we go!
