I Love You This Much

Happy Friday!

Love is in the air and getting closer to Valentine's Day! Its one of my favorite holidays having 5 daughters and I always make special treats for them and my Grand babies! I think I have decided on a type of treat bag I am doing, but I still have just a few days to get them together! I always seem to wait until the last minute :)

My card today is this adorable Changito Monkey! I love these little guys (changito cupid) and wish I would grow my collection of them but my budget always forces me into something else...Like milk and eggs and so on! Who needs food when you can make crafts right? 

My paper for this one is from a 6x6 pad "lovely" made by authentique. I have had it for a while but really haven't dug into it as much as I should have by now. The paper is just so sweet and perfect valentine patterns! Lucky for me, I have the time to use it up a little more! 

Have an amazing weekend everyone and thanks for stopping by!

Thank you/Tweet heart

Hello and Happy Thursday!!!

How about these cuties today! I try to mix things up a bit in my mind so I don't go extreme crazy! My favorite is when I can use the same leftover scraps to make two cards for my collection! 

A little water coloring for these two cards today...The first one with the goat is with a stamp from toodles and binks I have had in my collection for a few years...You know me, I start digging for one thing and out pops the ones in the back I haven't used in a while!

The second card I really can't be honest about the name. I am almost certain it's from Hero Arts, but my crazy self misplaced my backing I had on it! If I find it, I will be sure to come in and edit this for you!

Both cards are made with Stella Rose from my minds eye 6x6 stack.

Wishing everyone a wonderful day!

Thanks as always for stopping by!

Sweet on you

Hello friends

Today was a bit of a valentine mood! I have been putting together a few little goodies to share! I love this little guy I made with the Owl Punch from Stampin up. I just used some of my coordinating scraps from doodlebug design. I had quite a few left from last Valentines Day and wanted to use them up. The balloons are also just a heart punch with some bakers twine.  My sentiment stamp is from taylored expressions. Short and sweet...on you!

Thanks for stopping by!

All my Heart

Hello again crafty friends!

Just wanted to share another quick thank you card with you!

This was another quick one just using white and black card stock and the stampin up set "sketch it". The heart is stamped in SU real red and the phase is from close to my heart "curly sentiments" stamped in black.

Easy peasy and making me happy!

Thanks for stopping by,,,Enjoy your day!

Love Note

Love Note

Hello everyone!

It is soooo cold here in Chicago land and this girl is meant to be on the beach. Right now it's about -20 wind chill and that is just too cold for me!

I spent a lot of the day crafting and drinking tea! Pretty much anything to stay warm!

My card I'm sharing with you today is a creation using one of my Taylored Expressions stamps. This one is a sweet valentine I snatched up a few years back. It's one of their single collection stamps and I just love it!

Using Stampin up "very vanilla" for my base and accents, I paired it with My Minds Eye "lost and found 3" 6x6 stack. I used some walnut stain for the antiquing and the sentiment comes from the Stampin up set "olive you". I also did a little paper piecing for the elephants with the pattern papers...I just couldn't resist those! They were so cute and the paper just jumped right out at me saying USE ME! USE ME! I added a little wink of stella to all of the hearts after coloring them with my copic markers to finish it off with a little sparkle! 

Well, if you are nice and warm where you are, I must say I'm super jealous right now...If you are freezing like me...I hope you find some fun crafty time and stay warm!

Thanks for stopping by as always!

Good morning everyone! My day at the squiggles blog with another super fabulous squiggles image!

I have to say this was was totally inspired by my own anniversary I just had last Friday. My dear hubby and I celebrated our 23rd anniversary and it really seems like yesterday. This wonderful stamp called true love couldn't be more perfect for my card. I used some scrap papers and ribbon and added a few flowers and a stick pin. The white dress is hard to see but, I used a glitter pen and shined up the whole thing! You know I can't get enough glitter :) Super simple, but I love it. The sentiment is computer generated and fit our lives perfectly!

I hope you love my card and head on over to squiggle stamps to stash up one for yourself.

Have a wonderful weekend!

Super Saturday Sketch #66

Good morning bloggers and happy Saturday!

I am thrilled to bring you today's sketch because it is the first time I have been able to post anything in a week. It felt good to get back into my crafting supplies and create :)

Today I am using up some supplies I had left from a swap I did last week. The paper is super cute paper from K&Co called Poppy seed and my stamp is "magnolia's Tilda and puppy" My sentiment stamp is just one of those cutie dollar stamps I tend to pick up..too many times! They are perfect for those smaller sentiments.

Coloured with copics BV00,02,08 / Rv21,23,25 / E00,11 / YR 24,21, and Y11. I added ribbon, primas and some punched out leaves. Can't forget the bling!

Here is the bonus card I was able to make using the same supplies. I am getting much better at using up my scraps while I still have them out. Hopefully I can dig into my scrap pile more often to use some of them up.

Have a wonderful weekend everyone!!! Hopefully I will get a lot more crafting in this week. I really want to try a few projects.

Card Recipe:

Stamps: Magnolia "Tilda and puppy"

Paper: Stampin up "Perfect Plum" "regal Rose" "soft Suede"

Pattern Paper: K&Co. Poppy seed

Life is the song

Hello everyone! Long time no craft!

It's spring break here at the Pielmeier house, so between day trips and long weekends in the city, there hasn't been much time for crafting. Today was going to be that day, but somehow it turned into another day that just ran out of time.

I do have a couple of cards I was able to finish today.

The first one is a cutie pie stamp by Di's Digi Downloads. I actually kept the card pretty simple by adding some pretty papers and some photo corners. Just a touch of bling but not too much :) I know..not too much? That is odd for me!

My second card today is my Design Team card over at squiggle stamps blog! I posted another project using this stamp just a few weeks ago, but It's too darn cute not to play with it again. I actually went of of my usual colour category and tried to make it just a little different! If you love the stamp, head on over to the squigggle stamps online store and grab one for yourself. they have it in both digi and rubber! And don't forget..your chance to win some free goodies by doing the March spring challenge.

I hope you enjoyed my projects today. Hopefully tomorrow, I can get crackin on a few new ideas I have been wanting to try :)

Wild about you!

Good afternoon all!!!

I made this one yesterday but never got it up. Very little supplies to make this one. My background was a new sizzix folder I picked up this weekend..It had zebra stripes in it too :)

My leopard is just a 3D sticker I had. Very strange colors for me to use, but I love it!
Have a good rest of the afternoon.

Some Bunny Loves you

Just a quick card today to share..I think it turned out really cute! Enjoy. Stamp is from MelJen's Designs. You can find them here!

Have a good evening!

Valentine goodies!

Happy Valentine's day Bloggers!!!

I hope everyone's love is giving them a special day today! My wonderful hubby gave me some beautiful flowers and we are headed out to lunch soon.

My girls were surprised this morning with these super fab Chinese gift boxes I made for them. All five boxes were decorated the same on the outside but embellished with a different valentine each on top. They were some cute Bo Bunny cut outs I picked up last year and I thought they would be fun to add to their boxes. Inside of course they are filled with yummy treats, lip gloss, little presents and their favorite..a $5 Starbucks gift card.

I think most of them were excited..some I think were still sleepy and getting ready for school. I think 6:45 to catch a bus on a Monday morning is not their favorite thing to do :)
It's so much fun having 5 daughters..I don't think boys would appreciate it the same way!

Have a wonderful day everyone!!!!!!

Super Saturday Sketch #59

Hello scrappy friends!!!

Here is this weeks super Saturday sketch. I just had to make a valentine for the special day! I hope you like it and get a chance to try it!!! Stamp is from Digi Stamp Boutique and papers are bo bunny and KI Memories.

Super Saturday Sketch #58

Good morning everyone!

It's time to bring another super Saturday sketch. In actuality, this is a pretty simple sketch, but once it's mix with all different papers, I love how the side is offset..I usually don't do that :) I love it. I know I will be reaching for this one over and over.

My stamp is from Stampin Up..if the halo fits. I have had this stamp set for quite some time and I pull it out frequently. It was surely a good investment! My papers are some foil scraps I had. I am not sure who they are by, so sorry for that.

I just popped up the heart and and added some bling and dazzling diamonds glitter to finish it off.

Enjoy the sketch, I hope you get a chance to try it!

Smile

Hi Bloggers!
I hope everyone is doing well on this Thursday night. We are all dug out of our home and street, but the rest of the neighborhood is such a mess of snow everywhere. Hopefully it will clear out soon.
I just have a quick card for you today. I made it for a friend of mine who helps me smile every time I talk to her. She hasn't been feeling well, so I thought this would perk her up a little.

My stamp is a pink cat studio digi named Lily valentine ballerina and you can pick her up here.
My papers are from an old 6x6 paper stack and I just added some primas with a little stickles and bling. My ribbon is American Crafts.

Enjoy everyone and have a great evening.
