"hi"~squiggles style

Hello everyone.

My day today for the Squiggles blog. I hope you get a chance to come over and see all the fabulous projects the wonderful design team has been coming up with! Today I used and image part of the Liliputs collection. I think these are my favorite..she is so fun a whimsical! Her name is "chatty girl" and you can pick her up for yourself just by clicking here! My skunk is a fun little embellishment I picked up and thought he was just too cute. It only took me a day before I had to fit him in somewhere. I just thought he was adorable and couldn't resist. My paper is wild wasabi and baha blue from stampin up and I just cut out the tree free hand and added some grass borders with a border punch. The "hi" itself is just some thickers I added to a piece of cardstock. I hope you love it and head over to see the squiggle blog. If you are intersted for a chance to be on their design team, click here for more details. It's a lot of fun if you have time to commit to the team.

Kind thanks

Good evening bloggers!

Today I have two cards to share. The first one I used a sweet stamp from digi stamp boutique. She was one of those I just thought was too cute to pass up. You can grab one for yourself here. I figured I am always needing teacher cards so now I am ready all in hand when I need one :)

The second card is made with an old stamping up set I have called fishy friends. This is one of those sets I grab over and over so it was fun to take it out again.

My paper is peach and pear from SU and some leftover DCWV pattern paper. Finished up with a little ribbon and some bling.

I hope everyone is having a wonderful week and we are getting closer to the weekend!!!

Summer Bookmark

This is just a fun bookmark I made for a swap. I used an image from Digi stamp boutique name Kira mermaid. If you like it, feel free to grab one for yourself here. My paper is from core-dinations and coloured with my copics. Added some glitter to the starfish and jelly roll metalic to the fins.

Have a good day!

Beach Babe

Hello everyone..

Can I just say I love this image! Sometimes I feel just like it on a summer day..though I don't have a nice beach nearby to relax with a cocktail, but I can dream :)

The image is one of Mo's digital designs and you can grab one for yourself here. My paper is that fabulous paper from Armerican crafts call hello sunshine. My cardstock is SU crumb cake. My flower is just a handmade paper flower I put together. I added some ribbon, a little crystal effects on the glass and sunglasses and just a little glitter on the polka dots.

Enjoy and I hope everyone has a wonderful day!

Happy Fathers Day!

HAPPY FATHERS DAY!

Happy fathers day to all the fabulous dads out there who give every day to their kids!

I made this one with the "all in the family" set from stampin up. I had to make my hubby a long card because our family is so big, but it was lots of fun trying to fit everyone in there. Just in case you can't figure it out, left to right..Barney, Tugger, Kirsten, Kimberly, Kayla, Dad, Maddy, Me, Katarina, Kitty, Katie and Betsy.

My paper is soft suede and some extra scraps and coloured with my copics. Just added a little ribbon and not one speck of glitter! I really wanted to add it, but I thought since it was for my hubby, I would lay off the glitter today :)

Have a wonderful day everyone!!!!!

Wedding bliss!

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.

If you are interested, there is a design team call over at squiggles. Just click here to find out more!

Have a wonderful weekend!

Another scollop today!!!

Wow..I tell you I have missed my blogging!!!

I have been enjoying a fun time in Niagara falls with my cutie pie hubby. It's our first vacation together since my first daughter was born almost 21 years ago. We had a fabulous time and just catching up all week and I got to play today!!!!!!

I made this cutie for a swap I am in for summer birthday cards. I thought it would be nice to do a little different card for everyone..Plus I got to play with all the fun stuff I have missed that way. You can find him yourself at bugaboo stamps if you wish or look around for some other fun stamps she has. You can find this crabby guy in the critter section. Lots of charactors to choose from!
Have a wonderful day evening everyone and I will be playing to make up for all the time I lost :)

Super Saturday Sketch #71

Here is another sketch for you to enjoy. Have a good weekend everyone!

Criss cross cards

Hello everyone!

I made some more criss cross cards today. These are for my day on the Design team over at the squiggles blog! A fabulous place to come and visit every day if you have a chance!

I used the bird house stamp and reversed it for the first card. I also cropped it for the outside so I could just have the bird. Love you can do that with digital! The second card is made with sunny flower girl and happy sun. I used paper from my minds eye and added a little fun glitter to both of them. I don't know what I would do without a world with glitter :)

I hope everyone gets a chance to head on over to the squiggle stamps store and take a look around and find something fun to play with!
:)
Have a fabulous day everyone and an wonderful weekend!

Super Saturday Sketch # 70

Hi everyone..Here is your new sketch for the week..Enjoy!

I shore am grateful!

Hello everyone!

Short story for this one!

A wonderful friend of mine knew how much I loved the cool carribean paper from stampin up that is retired and was so sweet she surprised me with a pack of it today! I couldn't wait to make something fabulous with it!!!!!!!!

It certainly took a while with all of the airbrushing and cutting, but it was well worth it and I know she will love it!!!! I can't wait to give it to her and know how "grateful" I am that she thought of me :)

Squiggles..Thanks a bunch

Good morning everyone!
I hope you are enjoying your day so far!

Today is my day for the squiggles design team. I am using one of the cutest stamps I grab all the time! It's called "picked for you" and you can pick it up for yourself in the squiggle stamps store!

I used some tempting turquoise cardstock from stampin up and my pattern paper is from Bo Bunny..a 6x6 pad from the ad lib collection. The sentiment is computer generated and colored in with all of the colors I used in the main image and mounted it on tangerine paper.

Enjoy everyone and come by and give some love to the squiggles blog to see all of the fabulous work the design team has put up!

Card Recipe:

Stamps: Squiggle stamps "picked for you"

Paper: SU "tempting turquoise" "tangerine tango"

Pattern Paper: Bo Bunny 6x6 ad lib collection

Copic Markers: B05,04,02 Y35 R05,20 V95 YG23,25,67 E00,11,29,25,21,53

Special fold cards

Today was a day to just play with different things. I had lots of time to myself and thought I would make some more tedious cards today. Though in the long run, they really didn't take me as long as I figured. It was nice to make some different types today.

My first card is a criss cross card. I used a really old SU set of mine called touch of nature. I love taking out the old ones from time to time. This was one of my favorites so now that it's at the top of my pile, I am sure I will be pulling it out quite a bit for a while. Using it just reminded me how much I love it.

My other card is a scallop circle card. I was making this one and it just wouldn't come together. Somehow it just came together for me at the end. I really love how it turned out. The butterfly is just a K&Co embellishment and some ribbon from my stash. I added some pearls to finish it off.

I hope you love my "fun" cards and have a wonderful rest of the day!

Bubbles Happen

You know when you have those days when nothing seems to go right? Well, This is how I feel sometimes and you just have to go with the flow and just let it happen! I love this stamp set from our craft lounge. I used my airbrush for the water and sand, and coloured the rest with copics of course! I added some crystal effects to the bubbles and a little dazzling diamonds glitter and stickles for sparkle :) I Kept the layout pretty simple and just added a few little touches and extras to make it pop a little.
Hope you love it and remember..Bubbles happen!

Pop up birthday and Thanks

Good afternoon everyone! Just wanted to share a few cards I made today. This was my first try at a pop up card. I used my owl punch and my woodgrain embossing folder. The layout of using the owls was part of the directions I followed. The rest was all free hand cutting and using up some scraps. I figured it fit the theme :)

My other card is just a fun card with SU picnic parade. I hadn't even inked this one up yet, so that was fun to try it out. Just something simple today..Thanks for looking!

Super Saturday Sketch #69

Hi everyone..

I hope everyone is enjoying their weekend thus far! I had a wonderful time crafting again today. I was in the mood for a mermaid today..The hardest part was choosing which one it should be! I used one of my Kraftin Kimmie stamps today. I love them, but just haven't been able to boost my inventory. I think if I could get one at a time would be great, but I can never choose! They are all too darn cute :)

For my paper I used a 6x6 paper pack from my minds eye called Stella Rose. Cut more seaweed with my cricut and used some of my Jolies embellishments. The cardstock is from stampin up, peach and night of navy. I just added a little sparkle to all the fins for fun. I even tried some red hair today..That was pretty new for me. It needs some work, but I like it!

I hope you love it..Enjoy your weekend everyone!

Happy Birthday Katie!

Can you believe it's been 11 days since I have posted? This is just crazy! First I was sick, then I had to catch up on a few leftover projects and now finally I had a free day to myself. Amazing feeling! I love being the PTA president at my daughter's school, but this is the busiest time of year and I am looking forward to when they get out to relax and enjoy the summer!

My fabulous daughter is turning 13 tomorrow. Yes, her golden birthday on Friday the 13th! I am sure it will be nothing but good luck and good wishes! I was happy to tie her birthday card in with my squiggle stamps design card! This was actually my first ever squiggle stamp and I use it all the time. I used it for christmas and now more birthday goodies! Its great when you can just chnage the colors to make it all brand new! If you want her for yourself, head on over to the squiggle stamps online store. Click here to get gifts galore or click here and just browse around and get lost in all of the fun designs!

I filled up my card with lots of extras..bling and layers and lots of embellishments..and added a bunch of glitter of course :)

"Bone" jour

Enjoy!

Super Saturday Sketch #68

Happy Saturday everyone!
I hope everyone is having a nice weekend so far. We finally had weather in the 70's today. Dreary and windy, but I will take 70 over 30 any day of the week!
Today's sketch is using another image from Di's Digi downloads. She is called magic wish and you can get her here! When I bought her, I thought she would be perfect for many occasions. I added a few scrolls, bling, stickles and primas to finish it off. I hope you like my sketch this week and give it a try.
Enjoy the rest of the weekend everyone.

Have a splash!

Hey bloggers!

I so badly needed to make another beachy card today. It's just been one of those weeks and somehow when I make these cards it's almost like I can imagine me being at the beach and it really makes me feel better.

I can honestly tell you I had a lot of fun with this one. I just kept adding and adding to it. Every time I would think I was just about finished, I figured out something else I wanted to add.

It's a little hard to see but it's filled with lots of glitter and all the water has crystal effects on it to give it a shiny feel. My seashell and starfish are some cute new embellishments from jolies. I love them, but they are a little pricey so I will need to use them sparingly. My image is another digital today from Di's Digi downloads. This one is called "have a splash" and you can find her here!

I though she was perfect for my collection and of course she is mine for keeps now :)

I wish everyone a wonderful evening and a good rest of the week!
