CASEing Kelly Blog Hop!

Well, hello hello!!
Today is quite the fun day! :)

If you haven't seen or heard about it yet, we have a group of amazing and talented girls that came together for the CASEing Kelly Blog Hop! You should have came from blog Rubeena aka Ruby's blog...If not, be sure to start at the beginning! ;)

As some of you already know, Kelly has a feature on her blog called 'CASEing Genius'. If you're not familiar with it (you should check it out. ;)) though, it's where she features someone and three cards of theirs and then she creates a single card CASEing all three cards. Seriously, Kelly works her magic every time and is truly amazing at what she does!

Okay, so now for CASEing Kelly...Below are the three cards I chose of hers to CASE.

Oh boy! Gorgeous, right?!...
Who knew a blog hop of CASEing Kelly would make you nervous?!! lol I mean, I'm feeling way out of my league here! Buuut, I must go on, right?!...(Honestly, I told myself to suck it up! lol)

Here's my CASE.

You'll want to be sure to continue on with the hop and your next stop is Taunya Butler! Remember, you can always start from the beginning too, by clicking here. And below is a list in order as well. ;)

CAS on Sunday

Hey y'all!
Happy Sunday!

Today we have a brand new challenge at CAS on Sunday! And this time we're all about using the sketch...

So here's my card.

I kept things easy and just die some cutting and coloring, using some of Waffle Flower Crafts stamps and dies. For my sentiment piece, I layered it 3 times using white on the bottom two layers and black on top. After laying all my die cuts together, I added a few clear sequins to finish things off. 

I'd love to hear what you think?!!...

Be sure to swing on over to CAS on Sunday and see all the DT creations! And while you're there, I hope you'll join us?!!...

Thanks for stopping by! 

Enjoy your day!

Cute zombie?...

Hey y'all!
Hope all is well?!...

So, is there really a such thing as a 'cute' zombie?!?...Well, hopefully so! When I saw the Casology challenge being 'zombie' I thought, how fun is this! Buuut there was one problem...I don't have any zombie stamps! After some serious creative thinking, I was able to wing it. maybe.

Oh, I couldn't resist making that sweet little girl into a zombie! I really was just having some fun with this! I actually enjoyed it so much, that I may have to do it again. ;) (Then again, after looking at this...maybe she just looks sick?!...lol But I guess a zombie is sick, right?!..ha.)

My next challenge was finding a sentiment that would work. After 'sifting' through my stamps (over and over), I came across an older Sweet Stamp Shop set and thought the sentiment would be as close as it could to being a good fit!

So, what do you think?!!...A cute zombie?!...

Thanks so much for stopping by!
Enjoy your day!

The world is full of wonderful things (you can do anything)

Hey y'all!
Hope all is well?!...

Just a short and sweet post today. I saw the current Little Tangles Challenge and finally found some time to play along or perhaps I should say, an idea finally came to me! lol ;)

Here's my card.

Lately the only kind of watercolor that seems to work for me, is putting it on acetate and then spritzing it with water and laying it down on my card. I've tried the traditional way of water and a paintbrush, though it just don't wanna work for me. So, I think I'll be sticking to the acetate for a bit. ;)

I was going to just do some paper piecing without the watercolor, but I thought things needed to be 'grounded' more than just stamping the image on the card. Once I got all my watercoloring done, I stamped my images over it some and then proceeded to stamp the image on three different pattern papers. After, I did my cutting and decided to randomly place them 'here and there'. Lastly, I stamped my sentiment in a grey ink and then added my die cut sentiment piece. So what do you think?!...

Thanks for stopping by!

Enjoy your day!

Hey y'all! Another stop in for me today! ;)

*To see my AJVD guest post, please scroll down. 

Talk about cutting it close on time...well, I guess there's a day left. But still. lol I've been seeing a lot of people joining in on The Hop to Stop and I thought it was a great cause to bring awareness to! And to be quite honest, it wasn't something I was even aware of until I started seeing it around blogland...with inspiration comes some knowledge. ;)

Okay, so here's my card.

Oooh, just look at all the purple!! While you may not see much of purple(s) on my cards, you now know I do indeed have purple inks! lol (Note to self: don't be afraid to use purple!)

So I kept things real easy and just used a couple different purple inks for my flowers. Then did some die cutting and layered my pieces together. Simple, yeah?!...

Be sure to swing on over to The Hop to Stop aka Becca's blog! Hope to see you there!

Thanks so much for stopping by!
Enjoy your day!

Merry Christmas

Hey y'all! Happy Thursday, almost Friday!!

Hope all is well?!...I've been trying to catch back up on my commenting and DT work. So please bear with me, if I haven't visited you lately. ;) (and somehow I found some time to play. lol)

So I'm sharing a card I made for the current Virginia's View Challenge! Who doesn't love to color?!...I may not be the best at it, but practice makes perfect (or somewhat perfect) right?! ;)

Here's my card.

Not my typical kind of card, right?!...lol Well, I started with coloring one monkey and just thought I needed a couple more. (after all, 3 is my number.) ;) 

I'd love to hear what you think?!...

Thanks for stopping by! 

Enjoy your day! 

Thank you...

Hey y'all!
Happy Monday!

I'm not sure if y'all saw it already or not, but we started our first Waffle Flower Challenge?!!...And today, we have some inspiration for you!

Here's my card.

I decided to use the sketch, to go with the embossing. If you know me, you know I like my 'corners'! ;) I started by embossing my tribal tree in gold embossing powder. Once done, I stamped my sentiment on a piece of white cardstock, using a deeper blue ink. Under the thank you, I used an apricot color ink. After, I did some cutting and added it to my card, using some foam tape on the back. To finish everything off, I added some twine. So, what you think?!!...

Be sure to swing on over to the Waffle Flower Challenge and see all the DT projects! And while you're there, I hope you'll join us?!!...Hope to see you there! :)

Thanks for stopping by! 

Enjoy your day!

Hey y'all! Happy Friday!!

Today we have a brand new challenge at CAS-ual Fridays!...And another fun one, it is! :)

So I chose to go straight across the middle. Coloring, Spritzing, and Die Cutting.
Here's my card.

I'm not gonna lie, this challenge took me some thinking and trail and error! lol At first I was gonna do some stitching, coloring, and distressing. Though, I couldn't think of what to do for the distressing part. Then, I didn't care for the stitching that I tried doing (mind you, I'm still using my daughters sewing machine. lol). So after looking over the challenge some more, needless to say, I went a different direction. 

Again after some trail and error because I haven't spritzed much in years!! (note: It does help to hold the bottle further way from your card than close to it. And it helps to cover up areas where you DON'T want it! lol Learned the hard way there.) Though in the end, I finally got things to come together. ;) Would love to hear what you think?!!...

Be sure to swing on over to CAS-ual Fridays and see all the DT projects! And while you're there, I hope you'll join us?!! :)

Thanks for stopping by! 

Enjoy your Friday and weekend!

Just a short and sweet post today.
I'm swinging on in to share one more card for the Fall Coffee Lovers Blog Hop!

Well, no coffee on this card. Instead I went with tea! 

I used Mama Elephant's Cup of Wishes set, along with the matching dies. Did some coloring for my cup and added my stamped tag. For my sentiment, I chose a light grey ink.
