Hello Hello!

I've been hoarding this Crate Paper Goodness paper with the birds for awhile and decided to play with it...

Everything is nestled onto a white card base...all the patterned paper is by Crate Paper. Isn't the color combo fabbie?

I was inspired by the latest Twisted Card Sketch #19:

Patting myself on the back for remembering the twist this week:

"Stripe" - any how, any way!

hello & sending smiles...

Hello!

I have a couple things to share with you today....

First up is my Indie Girl card...thrilled to see that Torendi has Sassafras Indie Girl so I loaded up...

Oh boy, embarassing to say but this is the first time I've inked up my Lawn Fawn Just my Type set....it seems that Partly Cloudy and Sew Lovely are my go-to-sets but that's changing:) I'm sure you all can sympathize with me...sooo many toys so little time to play with them...I'm going to try rotating my stamp sets...see if I can give that a go:)

Tons of stitching with some vintage thread....everything is nestled onto a PTI kraft base {sheesh, what is that...4 this week?}..

I was inspired by FTL101:

Next up is a Practicing Creativity card...gotta love the Look Up set...the sentiment is PTI..

I decided to use my highly neglected MME Love Me Do...the colors scream happy, don't they?

I was inspired by Kazan's sketch #58:

I knew I wanted to use a Practicing Creativity set since 2s4y recently announced that the fabbie Courtney Baker is now part of their Design Team! Woot Woot sista!!!

♥♥BRAK alert♥♥

It's so much fun...I'm starting to get BRAK's...I love my birthday and tend to celebrate a week before and a week after but the week before thing hasn't been panning out for me....the festivities will start this Saturday with my friends:)

This is from the oh-so-very-talented Piali...that girl cranks out the cards like nobody's business and hits tons of different challenges...it is truly amazing....

I know...are you lovin' those pinwheels or wwwhhhaaattt???!!!!!!! The picture just doesn't do it justice...so many details it is crazy.....

If that wasn't enough, check it out ladies....does Piali know me or what?

bling...blooms....tweet and woot woot!!!! LOL....thank you sooo very much Piali...I know that you heard me gasp when I opened up your envy....such a wonderful surprise:)

Okay peeps, thanks for hanging in there with me....just a couple smidges of information...please be on the lookout for my friday post around 5 am PDT....something a little fun...watch for it:)

pppssttt....you'll want to make sure you stop by on Saturday....I'm just sayin' Saturday might be a good day to stop by because there will only be a less than 24 hour time window for something.....intrigued? muwahahahaha...

Sweet Cupcake and Happy ala Jenn

When I was digging around for something yesterday I came across this sweet savvy flower cupcake image. I decided to make a clean & simple card....added some fun ribbon and of course some glitter...viola! The A Muse text is perfect with it, dontcha think?

--------------------------------------

stamps: savvy flower cupcake & a muse text ink: memento rich cocoa & copic rv02 paper: fabriano accessories: misc fun ribbon

I tried to upload this FABulous card for Monday's post but it was not cooperating. I didn't have any problems today...go figure. I received this from the magnificent Jenn of Stamps and All that Jazz. You gotta check her out...she is spectacular! You gals kill me with all the layers....I absolutely **love** the look but I'm a lazy stamper :) I don't even try to pretend that I use my scraps...lol...I gave a whole box of them to my friend Laurel {hi!!!}. She's been making some pretty awesome cards out of them...

Anyways...thanks Jenn....you rock!!!

Luck & Good Fortune and Happy ala Carolina!

This is my liberal take of SCS SC #189..lol. It is a huge card...8.5 x 5.5 or is that 5.5 x 8.5? I offered to make a card for a co-worker that will be leaving. I like to coordinate the card with the gift wrap/gift so I needed to work with blues and greens. Thank goodness for the fabulous K&Co Blue Awning dp...I teamed it up with River Rock which I still love...it reminds me of my wall color...sometimes it takes on green tones and other times khaki...anyways, making a masculine card and working with blues...that was a challenge for me. I'm getting my $$ worth on my M's faux dew drops :)
Lookie at the spectacular card that Carolina sent me!!! Woo Hoo! Can you say lotsa layers and embellishments? Boy, do I feel spoiled...not to mention all of these goodies:
Sweet Mother of Pearl!

Thank You Carolina!!!! I'm floored with your generosity!

I'm happy to say that the weather has taken a good turn...it was so uncomfortably warm last week {90's}...it will be in the 60's/70's this week...woo hoo! That makes me a much happier girl AND I can be upstairs comfortably being crafty!!! My goal this week is to use some of the goodies that I've accumulated the last couple of weeks!

Happy Monday!!!

---------------------------------------------------------

stamps: a muse paper: stampin' up river rock, k&co blue awning dp and coordinating tags ink: versafine vintage sepia accessories: stampin' up slit punch, m's faux dew drops, river rock stitched grosgrain
