something old...something new...

This is one of those cards...you know...one of those...a little bit of this....a little bit of that....

This is definitely chock full of stuff....I pulled out my QK Instant Photo die....I backed it with some vintage K&Co embossed vellum paper with buttons.  Then I just started layering goodies....Can you see the Maya Road Crystal Star Trinket Pins?  Finally using those puppies...bought them in November at CKC...I layered buttons & pearls on the stars...

Here is a close up:

Ahhh yes...that Prima bloom...I've been hoarding those but felt it was 'time' to let go:)

I was inspired by the Moxie Fab World Tuesday Trigger

Winter White

Such a gorgeous wedding cake...I love it to pieces....okay, I was inspired by:

monochromatic look

blooms

layering

Okay peeps...today is going to be a good day for me...Darin is helping me put his Christmas present to work:

Mac Mini!!

hi!

Happy 365 Cards Super Sketchy Sunday!

Here's the very fun sketch...I modified it slightly so that I could incorporate a certain stamp that I wanted to use...{translation = slight rebel}.

This is my take on the sketch...skinnified.

HA! I don't even know how skinny I made it...but it is 5.5 inches tall...it was all to accommodate that sweet Unity Owl image...

This 'lil puppy is chock full of goodness...the patterned paper is Pink Paislee..Hmmm...you can't tell but the paper that the owls are stamped on has monochromatic hearts on it...sweet stuff! The vinyl thickers were a Big Lots find @ $2..can't beat that and such a delish color! The chippie stars are part of my Maya Road Warehouse sale box...man, that thing rocks...a medium size'ish box filled to the brim with Maya Road Goodies? Oy! The button is from my PTI stash...the fabbie lace is from the J's clearance bin...I tell you...stealth ninja shopping moves:) See my fun stitching...LOL...yup, that was on purpose...nah, I think I started thinking about stuff...dangerous stuff to do...think...when sewing....at least for me...I need to concentrate on the needle not on other schtuff. If anyone asks, I call it "whimsical stitching"...gives the card character..LOL.

Did you see the new challenge site? I spotted it over at Allison's...

I chuckled because I sooooo need this...Everything Old Is New Again...you were suppose to use stamps that haven't seen the light of day for awhile...well, I bought this Unity image when I went to Florida...in October {?}....it has never been inked up...GASP! I'll be sharing some other projects this week...LOL

Hope you'll join us in the 365 Cards Super Sketchy Sunday fun!

P.S. Please be on the lookout for my 2nd post today...I'll be using random.org to draw for The Cutting Cafe 'Because Nice Matters' set...

stack 'o goodness...

Check this stack out...

It's something that I worked on last weekend...a total of 24 thank you cards...4 ended up being for my own personal use but the other 20 were for a custom order. I tried to keep "USPS friendly" in mind...

My girl is my marketing manager...don't tell her I said that, she'll want to be compensated for it..LOL. Anyways, my ex-husband's girlfriend was writing up a list for thank you's and my girl reminded her about the wonderful "Tsuruta Designs"...funny huh?!

So here's what I came up with:

First up is one that the boy helped me with...I stamped the sweet Poppy Stamps dog and SU sentiment and the boy colored in each pup differently:) I tell you, he is getting good with the copics!

Next is a clean & crisp thank you using metal from J's... which also satisfies today's 365 Cards Challenge...metal mania!

I know that the fabbie Lauren will love these Sassy Monsta's...it is my daughter's design...she did all the fussy cutting of the monsta's...I put it together...I had to highlight this particular monsta as my daughter is the black high top Converse wearing gal:)

One of my favorite A Muse images is that sweet bird...I 'filled in the bird bath' with my quickie glue pen and SU Dazzling Diamonds...

Who can resist the Hero Arts Frog??!!!

These ended up staying home with me...I meant for them to be the ex's gf's daughter but was told "she isn't a girlie girl"....but good grief, I used MM blooms, buttons and hello?! May Arts Ribbon {thanks elaine!!}. Everything works out for the best because I love these 'lil scraplings...

I'm thankful for my kidlets help...I do know something, I love to create to create, kwim? I'm not much of a custom order kind of gal...I was reminded of that as I was thinking of all the other stuff that I "should" be doing {DT work....Pub Calls....Laundry...LOL}. Oh well, I stamped and created...it is all good and therapeutic:)

Come on back tomorrow...it's my day on the 365 Cards blog and Pam 'almost' had me stumped...muwahahahaha....

What a Hoot!

Happy Sunday!!!!

Welcome to 365 Cards Super Sketchy Sunday!

Such a fun sketch by Pam, I decided to go 5x7 {thanks Beth!!}. The patterned papers are by Jenni Bowlin and Stampin' Up. The ribbon is from Carolina {I've been hoarding it!}. I made the flower with the SU Papers and it is held together with a bling brad. I used a SU 'For You' rub on on the Maya Road journaling card.

I tell you, today is going to be a short & sweet post...as I'm typing this up on Saturday evening I'm super exhausted. Both of the soccer games were fabulous...The girls didn't win but they did a good job...the boys won, by a ton..and yes, my boy scored a goal...oh yeah!!!! I just finished chatting up a storm with Susan and I need to go to bed...super tired...no nap today :(

I'm really looking forward to seeing how Pam's sketch inspired you!
