On the homefront, we've been spring cleaning, anyone who really knows me, knows I'm in a perpetual state of 'spring' cleaning.   I believe I would be truly happy in an empty house (except for my lovely family & crafting supplies, of course!)

As I was cleaning behind my dresser, I found some vinyl wall art I had forgotten about!  too fun!  So up it went!

I think I was originally saving it until we re-painted the walls, but I've thrown perfection out the door and decided to just enjoy the art now!

That's it for me today!  I'll be back tomorrow with a new company release, an Easter blog hop and a brand new color challenge!

I hope you have the opportunity to do something today that makes your heart happy!
Blessings!

Victoria Case for SCACD-Everyday Gals...

Happy Wednesday!!! I just had to ink up another rubber stamp today....this time it's Ms. Chardonnay, one the the new releases from Victoria Case's collection for SCACD-Everyday Gals! I know some of you have already ordered all the new EB & VC stamps just released yesterday...you're going to have so much fun with them!!!


I used copics and a red prisma marker to match my paper! The DP, SEI, is glossy and embossed! I don't own a regular 'large' scallop punch so I just use my SU! slit punch, it works for me!! lol
My sketch was inspired by the sketch at Create 4 Fun, the color challenge over @ Papertake Weekly just happened to be blk/wht + one, which worked out perfectly, don't ya think? And because I used embossed paper, the ABC challenge-E for embossing!
This card was really inspired by the girls over on Victoria's PCP group, fun chatting....thanks ladies!!!

Hope you all are enjoying your day and you have a chance to be creative today! For some mojo boosts checkout the challenges at Digital Tuesday (use a digi & a heart) OR how about the fun recipe over at the Doodle Palace! Great ways to win some new digis!!!

Blessings!!

I love that stuff!!!

It's a Victoria Case kinda day...

Hello Happy Thursday Friends! I'm having a fun Victoria Case day...wanna join me??? Just pop over to the VC group page on PCP...there's challenges and fun going on! I made this little cutie for the speedy 1 hour sketch challenge! Oh my, my little heart was pumping trying to get this done in an hour! It usually takes me that long just to decide on paper!


This is pretty straight forward...K&co papers, prisma markers, copics and buttons! The little cutie is one of the new Victoria Case for SCACD stamps-Susy....isn't she precious?! I had a hard time photographing this, it's quite dreary today in PA.

This morning when I checked in for the PCP's first challenge I thought I would take a peek at the VC challenge blog to see if I could combine the challenges (you know me!) Not only did I find a color challenge, which were the exact colors I was using (yay!) but I also saw this...
for my cowgirl card! And if I seriously wasn't thrilled enough at this point, I noticed that the very generous Victoria was blessing all the participants for chall #13 with a free image...an unreleased image! How cool is that! So, like I said, it's a Victoria Case kinda day!
Come play with me and your VC images....

I hope you are all having a super fun day and may your joy be overflowing!!! Blessings!

Something for Me!!

Here's the little project I was working on! I am a "list" person! So I made a pretty little notebook folder for my purse!

Today is my last Try It Out Tuesday with the SCACD girls. I have been with them as a Guest Designer for April, June, July & now Aug and they are some of the most wonderful ladies I have met in blogland. They have touched my heart and I will be forever grateful for their welcoming kindness and love. I've learned so much from each of these super talented ladies! Thank you Susana and Suzanne for allowing me to have this wonderful opportunity! {sniff, sniff}

Ok, so today Suzanne challenged us to create a notepad or notebook cover. And when I saw this little beauty over on Patty's Stamping Spot, I just had to have it. She shows how to make it from a SU! folder. Since I didn't have any SU! folders and didn't even realize SU! made folders, I had to alter the directions to fit my particular folder. I found my pretties at Big Lots, an overflow discount store. (12 for $2.oo)
To adorn my list keeper I colored one of the new Victoria Case for SCACD images...Aud, isn't she a beauty?! She named for our very own SCACD DT gal, Aud....how do you like having auburn hair, chica?! I used celery green to accent so it would match my bag....I'm keeping this one! lol
Though, I might be having a give away for one of these later....I do have 11 more folders! lol
I have been wanting to participate in the new Pals Paper Arts challenge since it started four weeks ago...I just couldn't find the time! So finally, with their fourth challenge underway...create anything but a card....I'm getting this one in under the wire! Thank heavens for time zones! lol

Well, I hope you'll have a chance to play along with the TIOT challenge this week over at Susana's Custom Art and Card Design store blog, Follow Your Heart!

Praying peace, joy and much love over you! Blessings!

Victoria Case for SCACD-Taylor

They're Hereeeeee! The New Victoria Case for SCACD are available today! Yee Hawwww! My card today features Taylor, isn't she a cutie?!


She's colored with copics and prisma markers. I used denim to paper piece her jeans and a distressed brown dp for her boots. And I used the Victoria Case challenge sketch for this week, seemed quite appropriate! Scrappyfrogs challenge is paper piecing, which is just too fun! I won a lovely Sugar Nellie for last weeks challenge, ya can't win if ya don't play along! Go for it!

That's it! Keeping it short so you can rush over to Susana's Custom Art & Card Design store and buy all 8 of these cuties!

Blessings!
