AJVD and WOW! Collaboration Hop

Hey y'all!

Today, is a exciting and fun day!! I'm swinging in to share a couple cards for the AJVD and WOW! collaboration hop!!

You should have came from the talented Jenny Colacicco's blog. If you haven't hopped along yet, you'll want to be sure to start from the beginning! Lot's of fun going on! ;)

So without further ado, here are my cards...

A simple Fall themed card. I made a little stencil out of AJVD leaves & Petals die set and the embossed them in two different WOW! embossing glitters, Vintage Peacock and Turkish Nights . After, I used a sentiment from AJVD Autumn Pumpkin stamp set and stamped it on my card using black ink. Then I used the AJVD Headline Type Alphabet die set to spell 'FALL' and used WOW! Sparkles in  Stroke of Midnight and Celebration .

Keeping with simple, for my second card I used AJVD Scattered Snow builder background stamp. Which I embossed it in Metallic Gold Rich Pale using WOW! metallic embossing powder. Next, I used AJVD Merry Mistletoe die set and added WOW! embossing glitter in Carousel here and there on the mistletoe. Once done, I tied my little bundle of mistletoe together with some burlap twine and then added it to my card. To finish things off, I used AJVD Headline Type Alphabet die set to spell 'HOLIDAY'.

And did I mention there are a couple prizes that can be won?!!...There's a $25 WOW! Embossing Powder gift card and a $25 A Jillian Vance Design gift card up for grabs! :) Please be sure to leave your comments on each DT blog post (including WOW!

HUGS (Take 2)

Hey y'all!
Happy Saturday, hope all is well?!...

It's a beautiful day here, sunny and warm. :) As much as I want to just be outside (which I was out there for a little while) I have some DT work, birthday cards to make, and a few other things to get done. So I'm pretty much inside for the time being. But that's okay. I have the Lifetime movies on and will be crafting while watching. Who doesn't love some Lifetime movies?!...or even the Hallmark movies?!...even the ones I've seen before, I'll usually watch them again. lol

Anyhow, I'm swinging in to share my 'take 2' on the 'Hugs' stamp.

Of course, because my card is on the 'softer' side of things, editing made it a little difficult for me to get things 'just right'...never ending when it comes to photo editing. lol 

I wanted to do something on the softer side, so I choose some purples and then the rest in grey. I was originally planning to just do the whole thing in one color. But after coloring and thinking about it, I thought maybe it would be too much?...Which led me to using grey for the leaves and whatnot. I actually really like how it looks! So probably worked out for the best?! ;)

Well, that's all for me today. I'm off to do some creating and then hopefully later get to some blog visits!

Thanks so much for stopping by!
Enjoy your weekend! :)

Thankful for you

Hello, hello!!
Hope all is well?!...

It has been waaaay too long!! (I'm not counting my DT posts as posting things) Long story, short. September was a bit of a rough month for me and husband. Not only did his mom pass away but there was some things that resurfaced from years back and it took a toll on the both of us. So there were some rough weeks on end and then during the last week of September my husband ended up in the ER, ended up he had a bad case of strep throat. So I had to take take of him for a bit, also while being on the lookout that nothing spread to me or our kids. Thankfully, nothing did. Then fast forward to October and say what?!...October!! Time is just going by way too fast! October is starting off fairly good, just been a little busy and tired. Much better than September so far...hoping it stays that way.

So that's a little insight to what's been going on with me. I sincerely apologize for such a long absent. I should be more 'on top of things' now. ;)

I am swinging in to share a card I made 'just for fun'. No challenges or anything, just a new stamp set from a friend of mine that I couldn't wait to get. :)

Even though I'm no expert with colored pencils (or any medium for that matter), I still enjoying coloring images. So relaxing, right?!...I still have a couple more of these to color and already have some ideas of what to do. Hopefully, you won't mind seeing a couple more?! :)

Well, that's all for me today. I'm going to try and do some blog visits and commenting because we all know, it's been way too long. ;)

Thanks so much for stopping by!
Have a great day and see you soon!
