Pink Birthday

Hello.  Happy Saturday.  Just a quick card before I head off to work.  I am still trying to build up my birthday cards.  I don't have many and I like to have them for any last minute birthdays that I might forget.

My go to colors lately have been pink and blue.  This card is no different.  I love the colors on it. 
The layout for the card came from Silhouette Online.  It has been on my list to make for some time.

I am using it in the following challenges:
   Crafty Sentiments - Anything Goes
   Cupcake Inspiration - Gold, Creme & Blush
   Quirky Crafts - Celebrate
   Tuesday Throwdown - Anything Goes
   Craft Rockets - Clean & Simple

Chat with you tonight.

From The Heart

Hello.  I seem to only get in my craft room late at night.  Tonight is no exception.  I didn't give call my sister.  I really meant to clean more than play.  Oh well.

I printed out the Cozy Kittens from From the Heart a couple of days ago and I haven't used them yet.  Since the end of the month is here, I decided to go ahead and use them.

I don't think I have ever color kittens.  I think I did okay.  I like the orange kitten better.  I will have to try it again.




I am using this in the following challenges:
   Jo's Scrap Shack - Blue, Green & Embossing
   Little Tangles - Hello
   Sketch Saturday - Sketch #396
   From The Heart - Progressive
   Aud Sentiment - Anything Goes

This is for tonight.  Chat with you tomorrow.

Give A Crafter A Cookie

Hello.  I have a big announcement.  I have become a member of the Give A Crafter A Cookie design team. 

Today is my first challenge with them.  Challenges at Give A Crafter A Cookie are always photo inspired and they run for two weeks.  This week's theme is


Don't those cookies look delicious.  I can't wait to see what every one will come up with.  The sponsor for this challenge is The Stamping Boutique.   The prize is 2 digis (3 digis if you use a Stamping Boutique image).

Here is my card for the challenge.  It was so much fun working with this little snowman.  Instead of using blue (I feel like that is I have am using right now), I went with green.  I also used one of my snowflake swirl texture folders.

Have a great evening.  Hopefully I will be back with something fun.

Miss Kate Cuttables

Good evening.  

I really wanted to do the Miss Kate Cuttables' facebook challenge.  And if you follow any of my post on here, you know I love to take her titles and convert them into cards.  So tonight I picked her Let It Snow title and made it into a card.  I am still hoping for snow.  It is hard to believe it is the end of January and we don't have any snow on the ground.

I added gems to the centers of all of the snowflakes.

I am using it for the following challenges:
   Miss Kate Cuttables - Anything Goes
   Suzy Bee's - Frosty
   Di's Digital - Snowflakes
   Craftin Desert Divas - Shaped Cards
   Crafty Time - Make It Sparkle

Chat with you later.

Coffee anyone?

I am back at it. 

I haven't made a trio card in a while so I thought I would use the coffee one for the Photo Inspiration challenge at City Crafter.   When I cut the stream for the middle cup, I didn't think about my card being white so I took my C1 copic marker and colored it gray.  It is hard to see in the picture, but I distressed the edge of the card also.

I am using it in the following challenges:
   City Crafters - Photo Inspired
   Brown Sugar - Black, Brown & Blue
   Crafty Hazelnut's - Anything Goes

I don't know if I will be back or not.  We will just have to see.


Quicky

Hello again.  Another quick one before I go start dinner.  My sister is going to be upset that I made this without her but she hasn't called me back yet.  Oh well.

I don't send out very many Get Well cards but it is nice to have a few in the card box.

I am going to use it in the following challenges:
   Craft Your Passion - Anything Goes #296
   Tuesday Throwdown - Under The Weather
   ABC Challenges - Z is for Zero Embellishments
   Paper Creators Crafts - Anything Goes

Off to cook.  Hopefully I will talk to you after.

Valentine's Day Heart

Hello.  I really hope to get some play time this evening but I do have a few things to do so we will see.

In between straightening some rooms, I thought I would make a quick Valentine's Day card.  I have a few leftover from last year and that is a good thing because I haven't made that many yet.  I am going to work on that this week.

This is a simple and clean card from the Silhouette Online store.  I wasn't sure about it when I started but I like the way it came out.  I was going to add a ribbon across the top but decided to leave.  I did add a Be my Valentine stamp at the bottom of the card.


I am using it in the following challenges:
    613 Ave Create - Anything Goes
   Crafting From The Heart - Anything Goes #96
   Crafty Sentiments - Valentines
   Fan-Tastic Tuesday - Girly

Chat with you later. 
 


P.S.  I am counting this as girly because most guys would rather not get a pink Valentine.  Especially my son.   lol
