Love Life...

I loaded up on the clear and frosted Shortcut bases...it's about time I played with them even though they are an absolute pill to photog:) This is one of the frosted blanks...

This is going postal today so I don't want to ruin the surprise but it is going to someone that is going through a rough patch...or at least their friend is...a really rough patch and I just wanted her to know that I was thinking of her. It is chock full of Cosmo Cricket...the PTI ribbon is covering up the A Muse sentiment a smidge but it says: "Greetings from Seattle". Dontcha think the coffee mug is appropriate for that sentiment?

Next up is Laura's sketch 43...which I love and can see using over and over again...

I used some retired MME papers, specifically the Confetti line. I was drawn to the bold & bright colors and patterns.
Three out of the four panels have been stitched...I love the contrast of the white thread...brings out the Stampin' Up rub on "thinking of you" and helps make the Jenni Bowlin butterfly *pop*.

Let me give you some background on this particular card. I was asked by someone to make a card... It's a sad story, it is for someone that thought he had beat his cancer but he hasn't...Do you know how hard it was for me to figure out what to make? It was VERY hard...feedback ladies...feedback... I know that masculine cards typically are tough for any paper crafter but given the added situation...oy vey.

♥♥
Edited to add that the lovely Sandra let me know that my 'thinking of you" card is on the SCS Facebook page:) awwwww...that made my day!♥♥

Ultimately, I hope that when the recipient opens the envy, it'll make him smile...what do you think?

A good reminder to...

Love Life.

happy valentine's day girlfriend!

Happy Saturday!

I love the weekends...it a great time for me to prep for the week and enjoy my crafty time! It's when I do a majority of my DT work for the following week...

I'm ultra proud of myself...I was able to super multi-task on today's card! I'm one of those peeps that has a hard time combining more than 2 challenges..LOL. Sheesh, I've seen people that have created gorgeous cards for 15+ challenges...can you imagine?

Well, check mine out...it doesn't cover 15 challenges but I'm quite happy with it:

My colors are based on the Embellish current challenge:

Great timing on the Pile it On challenge 29 of digi-images...

Photobucket


I thought it was only appropriate to use the new digi set by Regina, Valentine Family and Friends, especially since she is sponsoring the Embellish challenge!

Okay, here you go!

I've actually had the patterned paper by Teresa Collins for awhile...I have to admit that I bought it to design valentines day cards for pub submittals...well, I never got around to it. One of my New Years resolutions is to become published. Several years ago I was pubbed in Stampers Sampler and Take Ten...it was a total fluke...it was before I was a serious stamper/crafter...sent in the 1 card and bam...it was published...talk about luck. I don't even have a pic of it!

Anywho's, I had so much fun putting this card together...I'm lovin' the poms..haven't played with those in awhile...the AC Flair was a perfect find for this particular card! The button is out of one of my foof-a-la bag 'o buttons...love those...it's like a treasure hunt. I lucked out since my Janome was already threaded with white! I don't know what it is...well, I know what it is...it is the lazy bones-ness of me...I just don't like to rethread my machine...LOL.

Okay, thanks for stoppin' by...I appreciate it!
