Hello

Hey y'all! Well, that sure didn't take me long, to come back! lol I, myself am surprised I made it back so soon!

Now, I'm sharing a card I whipped up for the current The Play Date Cafe challenge! I was stumped for a bit, on this challenge!



Four colors!!....Four colors to use!!...That's a good amount of colors, to use! lol And these are colors, I don't normally use much of....so that made it a bit harder on me, too! But...I think I managed to do it?!



Thank you again, for stopping by and enjoy your day!! :)

Well, hello everyone!!

Hey y'all! I hope everyone had a wonderful Christmas?!....The New Year, is right around the corner! With everything being so busy, I finally found some time to make a card!! :)

I was just playing around for fun. No challenge or anything, for this card! I did get some new supplies and was wanting to play with those. And that's what I did.

lol I knew what I did, after the fact. My blog address is: www.shelly-sweetgreetings.blogspot.com not what you see in the picture. lol Leave it to me, to do something like that!

Thank you so much for stopping by and enjoy your day!! I should be back before the New Year....but if not, have a Happy New Year! I wish you all, happiness and health in the New Year! :)

Make a wish

Hey y'all! I'm back today, to share a card I made for the current Casology challenge!!

I really got down to the wire, on this one! After seven (yes, seven.) mess ups, I finally got my card right! One thing about being a perfectionist, is I don't let little things slide. So, when I see the slightest crook in something, I keep fixing/trying/start over until it's straight to me (I'm that bad)! And that's what led me to waste seven cards...I couldn't get my sentiment straight...until now (my eighth card)!!



So, I saw "star" and thought about it. What came to me, was a twinkling star. You ever look up in the sky and out of all the stars, you find that one that seems to stand out, from the others?....Well, I always seem to find it that way.



For my card, I used some refill ink on a paint brush and flicked it onto my card for a bunch of stars. I then added my one little 'stand out' star. To make it stand out even more, I added a little rhinestone in the middle of it.



Thank you for stopping by and enjoy your day!! Merry Christmas! :)

Believe...

Hey y'all! Just wanted to quickly, stop in and share a couple cards! Both cards I'm sharing today are for PSA Stamp Camp DT.

First up: Believe!



For some reason, the golden ticket in 'polar express' kept coming to me. Then I remember "believe"....From that point, I was set on figuring out how to translate 'that', into a card. I'm still not sure if it's exactly what I wanted it to look like?...Though, I'm happy with it. :)



Up next: Christmas Wreath!



I was having some fun with this card! I went for something festive! I really didn't know the outcome of this card, when I was making it. It was one of those 'go with the flow' type of things.



All the stamps used can be found at PSA Essentials. Also, you can find great deals on stamps and frequent giveaways at PSA Essentials Facebook page!

Thank you for stopping by and have a Merry Christmas! :)

{Congratulations}

Hey y'all! I just was stopping in real quick, to share a card. I made this card for the current, Casual Fridays Challenge!



So, here's my card!




I kept very CAS. I scored three lines down, on my card. Then added my {Congratulations}, which I used a few different inks on.

Thank you for stopping by and enjoy your weekend!

Vroom...

Hey y'all! Happy Friday!! What a crazy busy week.....and I have a feeling, next week is gonna be even crazier!! I'm sure it'll calm back down, after the holiday's. ;) I just have to wait, a little bit longer.

So, I'm here to share another card I made! I'm lovin' the fact, my creativity is back! :) My card today, is for the current Casology challenge. I missed last week's challenge because of my creativity issues. I sure wasn't gonna let that be the case, this week!



Once again, this card just came to me. I was thinking "gift" and gonna go off the whole "box present" thing, then something else came to me.



When I was little I always wanted a tricycle...though, I never got one. I had plenty of friends that had them but unfortunately, it was out of my parents budget. Then I always heard my mom tell me, my legs were too long and they would hit the handle bars. That I would grow out of it too fast and not be able to ride it for long. So, as I grew....I still never got a tricycle, but I did get a bike with training wheels! Those training wheels never really worked either...lol...my mom would hang on to the bike for two seconds, then she would let go of it. Eventually, I learned how to ride my bike. Though, it seemed like "stopping" took longer to learn, than riding the bike itself. I also, worked my way up to a banana seat bike!! Hey, for me that was like the cadillac, of bikes. You could get your friends on there, with you! lol :) Good times....



So this is my gift, to you! If you never had a tricycle either, you do now!! :)

Thank you for stopping by and enjoy the weekend!!

At last!

Well, hello everyone!! At last....a card I'm finally happy with!! :) I can't tell you, how good it feels to have some creativity back!

So, this card I'm sharing today is for The Play Date Cafe challenge!! I saw these colors and was in love, with them!



And how 'bout my card!

This is the best picture, I'm gettin' today! We have nothing but clouds...


I normally, wouldn't think of using all these colors together. But I have to say, I really like them together!



Thank you for stopping by and enjoy your day!!

Gift tag

Hey y'all! I hope you're enjoying, this lovely Sunday?! :) Today, I'm sharing a gift tag...yes, a gift tag! I saw Casual Fridays challenge and thought I'd go for it!



I don't do many gift tags, so this was a little bit of a challenge, for me. I wanted to keep it CAS and somewhat "soft". After going pulling out some dies...I thought of the tag, as an ornament.



I think I did okay?! :) I didn't put a "to" or "from" because sometimes I think a tag, is just nice by itself.

Thank you for stopping by and enjoy your day!

Happy December 1st!!

Hey y'all!! Wow! December already??!! The last month, of this year?!! Oh, my....times just keeps flying on by!! I'm so ready for Christmas, I already have the movies starting!! :) As I'm typing, it just occurred to me, I should really start making my Christmas cards!!....I haven't made any, yet! They need to get in the mail, and soon!

Well, now on to my card. I am sharing a Christmas card, though it's for PSA Essentials Design Team! :) Perfect for the holiday's! Having some fun with my stamps, I did some long thinking. And somehow managed to come up with this!
