Hey Sunshine, Belli challenge24

This card all started with that little square of ribbon at the bottom I found paper to match and I'm very happy with the way it turned out. I added the circle for Chrissy belli challenge #24 this week the challenge was to use circles but I guess the glasses and button are circles as well but I wanted to add just one more so the bucket of sand was added. The stamp I used is one of missy b designs and her website is back up and working so if you've been wanting to see what she carries you can check it out here. The sentiment is from things hanna would say from hanna stamps. It's hard to tell in the photo but the ribbon is frayed a little at the end. Thanks for visiting and have a great weekend.

Sending Sunshine and Smiles

It's been awhile since I use my Hanna stamps so I decided to ink up rain day Hanna and I really loved the way this card turned out. I used my SU circle punches and I even used some SU paper I've been hording I still only used a tiny bit of it I'm still hording it, lol. I then used my star struck ctmh stamp set and stamped around the circles the circles with dots around them I used my ctmh sweet leaf marker and hand did them.

I also made this card for Chrissy's belli challenge # 20 her challenge was to use vellum or mulberry paper. I wasn't planning on using vellum but when my card was almost done I wanted to use a sentiment but I didn't want to cover up my circles so then it clicked and I remembered Chrissy's challenge so I stamped the sentiment from Gretchen (snss) on vellum and their you have it. Oh and the green paper is on dimensionals anyways, I think it looked really cool I hope everyone else likes it too.

For those of you that care I am feeling much better I had chills and body aches all day yesterday and I thought I was getting the cold my kids have then this morning I woke up just fine so who knows what I had I'm just happy to be feeling better. Thanks for visiting and have a great weekend.

Here is a card I made for my dad's birthday which was yesterday I made a card with golfing Riley just perfect for my dad. I colored him in with my copics this was the first time I have colored in the sky and grass with my markers I really like the way it turned out. I then matched the colors with some argyle paper and used my cuddle bug and swiss dots embossing folder with my white paper I then turned it around so the paper looked more like the dimples on a golf ball I know you can't tell in the photo but it looks neat well at least I think so and my dad really liked his card too. Well that's all for today I'm still trying to decide what to give away for my first blog candy hope to have it figured out soon. Thanks for stopping by have a great day.

Hanna challenges

I had a wonderful weekend and I hope every one else did too. I made these two cards.. .yes I am showing two cards crazy huh? Anyway I made them for the two Hanna stamp challenges the first was to make a card where the front of the card was at least a 1/2 inch shorter than the back I'm not quite sure if you can see but the front of my card is about an1 1/2 inches shorter on the front. On the side the fire hydrant and dog tag have glossy accents on them so cute If I do say so myself. The stamps I used are my best friend from Hanna stamps .





For my second card this challenge was to use the colors
Plum (Perfect Plum and/or Pale Plum)
Always Artichoke
Basic Grey
any neutral

Well These are all SU colors and I only have ctmh so I had to improvise I hope the colors I choose are close enough I used New England Ivy and the dp is from the level 2 packet of Enchanted from ctmh the stamp is also a Hanna stamp from the small breeds dog set I think I bought the set just for this tree although the dogs are pretty cute too. I think everything on this card is pretty strait forward I did however use a metal rimmed tag and cut it diagonally and used it on the two corners. If you have any questions don't hesitate to ask. Thanks for stopping by and have a super day even if it is Monday.

Hula Sophie

Meet Sophie G the other moose on the loose at Hanna stamps she is so cute I love this hula girl... er moose. When I stamped her I wanted to somehow make her skirt a different color I first thought of paper piecing but then I thought how cute would it be if I used embroidering thread to make my own hula skirt. I think it turned out so cute, and as an extra I added some beads to the top of the skirt. I used my cuddle bug embossing folder and the sentiment is from ctmh. Happy stamping thanks for stopping by.

Dancing in the rain

Here's rainy day Hanna! I colored her last night but didn't know what paper to use with her then I saw these basic grey papers sitting on my table, the colors matched up pretty well so then I put my card together. I had a different layout in mind but some how when I cut my paper I had two sheets stuck together, and so my paper was no longer the size I wanted and instead of cutting into a another sheet of paper I came up with this layout but I think I like this one better than the one I originally had planned. Hope you like it too. Have a great day.

Hanna box challenge

I decided to join in the fun and make the box for the Hanna stamp box challenge. Well that was a pretty difficult challenge for me I had this idea I that I would make it look like a house and use Riley stamps with it. Well I just didn't think it turned out very well so I started all over this time I thought a cute baby box would do better so here it is...









the box holds 8 3x3 cards and envelopes so I just made two of each card I wasn't feeling too creative at the moment. I ended up using 5 different Hanna stamp sets in this challenge to bad I can't win a prize for using the most sets.

tagged

I've been tagged for the first time how fun. Debby tagged me so now I am supposed to tell you 7 random facts about me so here it goes.

1. I have a phobia of hanging stuff on my walls myself. Someone else can hang stuff up but I won't do it and I don't even know why it's crazy.

2. I enjoy watching movies about vampires and werewolves.

3. I am shy I don't really talk much I'll answer questions if asked but I don't usually join in any conversations. However once I get to know you and feel more comfortable I'll talk quite a bit.

4. When I play games or boardgames I get giddy and goofy.

5. I hate to be driving in front of someone I know I'd rather follow and I also don't like to drive with my husband in the car he gets to do all the driving.

6. And another thing about driving I don't know how to drive a stick shift. It's automatic all the way for me.

7.I have trouble getting rid of anything I find sentimental value in almost everything my kids or I own.

That was kinda fun now you know a little bit about me.
The rules are-Link to your tagger and post these 3 rules on your blog. Share 7 facts about yourself on your blog, some random, some weird. Tag 7 people at the end of your post by leaving their names as well as links to their blogs. Let them know they are tagged by leaving a comment on their blog.
Well I'm breaking a rule because I feel kind of weird tagging others I mean there so many amazing bloggers out there and I now a lot have already done this so what to do... what to do... How about anyone that visits and has a blog consider your self tagged. If you do decide you want to do this then leave me a comment so I can read your 7 random facts. Sound good ? It does to me.

How Sweet

I have been sick, so I haven't done much of anything this week, but I did make another Riley card. I used riley in his chair or her chair because this moose is a girl today.I colored it in with gamsol and my colored pencils I used ctmh cs chocolate, blush, sweet leaf colonial white. The patterned paper is from ctmh life delights level 2 paper packet. The cupcake stamp is a sweet 'n sassy stamp set called chocoholics I added a gem to each one. Twill ribbon is ctmh, ink is also ctmh chocolate. The sentiment stamp is how sweet it is from my favorite things I can't find it on their web site so I think it's retired but I'm not really sure. I know it's late but Happy Valentine's Day.

two for riley

I have two cards for today because this week is going to be busy for me and I probably won't get to post much. You see my house is a mess and my daughter b-day is Mon. so I need time to clean yah it's so bad, I need a week to clean. Anyway the first card was for my nephew's birthday he turned 4 yesterday so this first card was for him. I used Riley in the plane I can't remember what the actual name is he's out of stock at the moment so I couldn't look it up paper is colorbok jewel, ribbon is ctmh garden green. the riley stamps can be bought mounted or unmounted, I bought the unmounted because they are less $ and don't take up as much space. The saying in the banner is from things hanna would say.

I made this second card because I wanted a card with spring colors I used garden riley moose from hanna stamps so cute the flower is a prima flower ribbon is offray and the rest is ctmh cs colors are amethyst sweet leaf the pattern paper is one sheet of the pattern paper in sweet pea paper packet level 2, the button is hollyhock. so thats all for now hope to post again this week.

valentine's card

I'm not really liking this card but I thought I'd share it anyways. I love the stamp set I just don't know about the layout oh well maybe I'll get time to play again later.
I'm so excited my free stamp set from sweet 'n sassy stamps arrived on Thur. and I can't wait to use it so here's hoping I get some free time to stamp. For this card I used my ctmh holiday red marker to make the dots for her dress. I love how versatile this stamp set is it can be used for so many different things form valentine's, anniversary, baby and so on to see the set click here.

Birthday Invitation

My daughters birthday is coming up soon and I decided I was going to make her birthday invitations instead of calling the family two nights before like I usually do. I had planed to make something with a ballerina for her but, no she wants a slipper birthday(that's what she calls dress shoes) so I decided to add a wand, and crown to her invites to make them a little more girlie when I showed it to her hoping she'd like them her reaction was " hmmmm well I like the slippers." She is so funny.

heres the recipe
cs ctmh petal, baby pink, buttercup, white
ink ctmh black,baby pink for sponging around the squares
stamps used- shoes hanna stamps, wand ctmh fairy wishes, crown ctmh teen princess
swirls embossing folder, and SU word window punch.
I used my corner rounder for the scallopes
I colored the images in with my colored pencils and used stickles and my stardust sakura gel pen to make them sparkle.

Hanna sketch challenge

This card was done for the Hanna sketch challenge I really love this sketch. It's the first time I've done a sketch challenge I had a lot of fun doing it.
I used making memories kids collection -Emma 6x6 paper. I bought this paper and I really liked it but never used it so when I saw this sketch I new it would be so cute. I used my cuddle bug swirls for the embossing, and my corner rounder for the scallops.
