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!

Just Us Girls Challenge #230

Hi everyone...

Today I am sharing another challenge card for the "Just Us Girls" blog.

Sketch challenges are always fun because I can use them over and over in many different ways after the challenge is finished :)

My stamp is one of my favorites from Stampendous..can't love these monkeys enough! My pattern paper is from Reminisce collection "Mighty Jungle". Card stock is chocolate chip and garden green. 

I colored the image with copic markers and fussy cut and popped up the tree leaves in 3 different layers..The photo shows a bit of it, but you know getting those pics just right is something I am still working on ;)

If you get a chance, head on over to the challenge blog and try this new sketch out for yourself. Just click the link above.

Have a wonderful day and thanks for stopping by!

Happy Halloween :)

Sharing a couple of fun Halloween cards with you all today. I just love finding fun paper sitting in the bottom of my stash :)

My stamps today are from Pink Cat Studio and Stampendous..Enjoy and have a spooktacular Halloween..stay safe!

Friends and Birthdays

Good afternoon everyone!

Today was just a fun day to play with some random images. Sometimes it is nice to not have a plan when I sit down and see what my fingers turn out. The best part for me today is they turned out to be very different without even trying!

My images are from Mo's digital pencil, stampendous and Taylored expressions. Cardstock is stampin up daffodil, melon and baha blue. My pattern paper is from sizzix.

The inside of the shell card says "I love hearing from you"

I hope everyone had a great Monday! Tomorrow is a crazy day for me, I hope I get some good crafting time in!

Super Saturday Sketch # 32

Just a simple fun sketch for today. I wanted to leave it a little flatter for mailing purposes. It was really hard for me since I love dimension so much, but I think I accomplished it pretty well. If you would like to add more to it, you can easily add some bling or ribbon or other embellishments to give it the little extra pop. I love these Changito Monkey's. Sometimes I forget all the fun stamps hiding away, so it was nice to come across the scraps and remember all about my Monkeys..As always, if you try the sketch, leave me a link so I can see.

Card Recipe:

Stamps: Chagito dos

Paper: SU Espresso

Pattern Paper: reminisce -monkey business

Ink: Momento Black

Copic Markers: YG95,97 E43, 44, 47, 31,35

The last of the Bunch...

These are the final cards for my friends gift box. I loved the flower pot card and just had to include one of those. I changed up the colors and really like how it turned out. I hadn't used the Changito monkeys yet, and I really love them. The bling I had for the bubbles I found in the dollar spot at Michaels a while back and knew I would have the perfect project for them. I can't wait to find another project to use them on..I just love how bubbly they are! The bird..yes..I had to use the bird punch again! I think I am addicted to it. I hope they have some more fun punches like this in the new catty in July. Enjoy!

Fun in the Sea!

It's been really busy around here. I must be dreaming of the beach these days because somehow those are the projects coming out of my craft table. The manatees are just for fun and the other two are for swaps. The footprints stamp is a brand new stamp I got for my birthday from my mom...Shhh it's not my birthday til June..I used it anyway!
