SC374 & Totally Stampalicious Win !!!

Good Morning,  Today I made this card with a stamp set I won on a Facebook Giveaway with Totally Stampalicious... I was very excited.  I never considered myself a very lucky person .. but lately have been winning stamp sets .. That is the best win for me .. Love it.  How cute is this image ??? The set is called Scarlette Cupcake.  I also used the sentiment from another set called Stella Birthday .  The DP is by jillibean soup , blossom soup 6 x 6 pad. I also used my nesties and colored the image with copics and added a little stickles to sparkle it up a bit.

Hope you like .. and don't forget to play along on Facebook or blogs .. you CAN win !!!

Have a most remarkable day !!!!!!!!!

I Love PINTEREST !!!

Ok ... Who is not hooked on Pinterest ???  Well I am.  Hours and hours of my time lately has been spent on this site.  I actually cased this card from a card I found there.  I will share the link and give credit where credit is due.  I loved this ladies card and tho I switched it up a bit .. I followed her lead and hope you like it. You can find the original here.
The thinks I changed are ...
I used a Tim Holtz embossing folder instead of a wood grain stamp, 
I used Provo Craft (little metal squares ..forget what they are called as I have had them for ever ) for the bottoms of the bird houses.
I did not cut my hearts out of the brown and layer as she did.. I just cut out the hearts and placed them right on the brown squares.
Changed the sentiment panel and used The Stamps of Life set called branches4flowers. 
I used a different border punch and added a little butterfly.
I also added a liitle rhinestone to the centre of the flowers.

Hope you like it ... :)

Winner Winner Chicken Dinner !!!!!

I was so excited to find out I won this set from The Stamps of Life for December .. It is called hope4us ... I actually got to pick my choice and choose this set ...Love it !!!!  The sentiment is from a different set from TSOL called umbrella4you ..  I love the DP .. it is from a stack from KC and Company called Olive Tree Kraft ... Enjoy !!

Catch Up !!

Here is a card I made with a new set I just bought from My Favorite Things...called Miss You a Latte.  I paper pieced the coffee cups and colored the girl with my copics.  The rest is pretty self explanitory.  I loved the DDP  , it is Basic Grey Picadilly Breakfast Nook.  It reminds me of some wallpaper back in the day  LOL.
Will most likely send this to my Aunt is Saskatchewan before I  go there for Easter.. as it has been about 5 years since I was there last.  I am going to see my Grandmother who turned 95 in November.  I missed the party (cuz I am a chicken to drive in the Saskatchewan winter .. blush) and promised to come for a visit in the spring.
Hope ya like it !!!!!!!

Fluffy Flower

Well I guess this is sort of a Valentines Day card as well.  I love making the little fluffy flower.  I used many sheets of tissue.  I cut the circles out with a 1 3/4 inch scalloped circle nestie. I then punched a whole thru the lot with my bog bite and placed a pink frosted brad thru the centre.  Then I started to fold up and crunch each layer of tissue separately around the brad to make it nice and fluffy.  Love the end result.  I also used for the heart layers my new Nesties .. Heart Squares. 

I buy all my nesties now from a friend in Las Vegas who has an amazing online store called Stamps Alive.  Her prices are amazing and great service as well .. fast shipping.  Hi Terri .. We got to meet once when I was there.. she brought tons of her stuff to my condo.  (I had emailed her in advance so I could just pick it up.  She is very very accommodating !!! 

 Anywhoooooooooooo back to the card LOL ....

The sentiment is from Stampin Up.. the set is called Field Flowers. I love how girly this turned out!!!!

Hope you like it .... Have a great day !!

2nd Valentines Day Card

This is the second card I made for Valentines Day .. I was so busy I just did not really get into Valentines Day this year.  I made this with a little 1.50 stamp from Mikes.  I used my Martha Stewart heart punch and some nestabilities for the circle. I also used a cuttlebug embossing folder for the panel. The little dog and bird was colored with copics. UI used a clear spica pen on the heart for a little glitter (Hard to see in this pic) Anyway just a quickie and hope ya like it  :)

Unity Valentine

I had a little trouble with this card .. it just did not seem quite right but I went with it anyway.  I love this set from Unity . Just not sure I did it justice.  I did a little distressing on the edges, I was trying to make it masculine for my hubby.  It is still in my stash ...LOL  he never got it.

The JOYS of ..... 50

Hehehe .. Thought this was cute ... and it is all true except for  Sleepy .... but first you are sleepy and as soon as your head hits the pillow at 9:00 get all snuggled in .. pillow just right .. eyes closed .... Bang ... it's like you just had caffeine injected intravenously into your blood stream ...your eyes pop wide open and the the rest of the night is messed up.  My poor hubby .. he is so patient when I start nattering at him at 2:00 in the morning... or he hears me turning on my Angry Birds game ..  and the Forgetful part ... OMG .. forgot he was sleeping peacefully right beside me  ......grrrrrrrr .... hope all this fun stuff goes away soon LOL

Hope you had a good laugh ...

Outlines Challenge 35 - Love is in the Air

Good Evening ..  Here is a card I made today for the Outlines Challenge 35 - Love is in the Air Monday Challenge. I used the Peace Dove stamp .. the dove carries a Star.  Instead I did not ink the star and used a heart from the Growing Hearts Stamp and just stamped the hearts and cut the second one out as it was a bit smaller.
I colored with Laurentian markers, Spica Gold and clear pens for some glitter and added some small rhinestones.  I used my spellbinders for the squares and the scalloped background.
I think this beautiful flying heart depicts LOVE is in the AIR perfectly.  I love my Outlines stamps. This is the very first stamp company I was addicted to.  Love the detail and the option of doing cards simply or getting as detailed and layered as you can imagine .. fun fun fun ......
Hope you like ...
Have a wonderful evening !!!!!!!!!

I found this very cool fold on SCS this morning .. DOUBLE DUTCH FOLD. I always love to try new folds so gave this a go. I think it turned out really pretty. I made this card for my Mother In Law. She is not feeling very good these days and thought she could use some happy mail. I will give this to my husband to fill out and mail ..cuz as per my post further down .. I procrastinate!!!
I used a new set I purchased from Verve , called One Person. I also used quite a few Spellbinder dies on this . I also used a few pink half pearls to add a little bling.

Hope you like it ..
