'Tis the Season

Hey y'all!
Happy Friday!! :)

I'm swinging in to share a card I have up on the A Jillian Vance Design blog, today.

I'd love it if you'd swing on over to the AJVD blog and leave some sweet words there! :)

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

Life is beautiful

Hey y'all!
Happy Monday, hope your week is starting off right?!... :)

I'm swinging in this evening to share a card I made for the current Altenew Inspiration Challenge.

 

In all honesty, I didn't think I was going to come up with anything! Everything I pictured in my mind just wasn't working. I'm sure we all been there, right?...Well, I didn't give up,  just rather took a break for a bit. ;) In the end I think things worked out pretty well?!...

Can you believe that I actually forgot about some new goodies I had from Altenew?!...I tried putting a stack of new/never before used stuff on my desk, but then I put things away because I have to have everything clean and organized. So it pretty much defeats the purpose of even trying to have a stack on my desk. lol Though one things for sure, when I come across something I completely forgot about it's a nice 'surprise'! ;) 

Well, that's all for me! 

Thanks so much for stopping by!

Have a great week and see you soon! And if I don't happen to swing back in before hand, have a wonderful Thanksgiving!!

Happy Friday!! :)

I'm up on the A Jillian Vance Design blog today sharing a Christmas card. Normally, I just give 'peeks' of my card/project when I'm up on the AJVD blog, but today I'm going to give you the full preview. :)

I'd love it if you'd swing on over to the AJVD blog and leave some sweet words there. ;)

Thank you...

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

It is cold here, so I've been staying warm and cozy inside. ;)

I had a little extra time on my hands, so I thought I'd join in on the fun at the PinkFresh Studio Challenge. :)

Sweet, right?!...

I went with using the theme for my inspiration/card. 

I kept things simple, as usual. ;) I stamped my image on in white ink and then just did some coloring with colored pencils. After, I stamped on a couple different sentiments. And that's pretty much it. Easy peasy, right?!...

Well, that's all for me today. 

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

Grande Hugs

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

I've been taking easy today, enjoying the nice weather and doing a little bit of crafting. :) I'm swinging in to share a card I made for the current Paper Smooches Challenge. If you didn't see or hear about it yet, they are having a DT call as well. Fun, right?!...

I made a little bit of a longer card than usual but I wanted to capture all of the 'rainbow', so longer it was. For my background rainbow I simply did some watercoloring on watercolor paper. Then I used the PS Pattern Builder die set to make the 'dashes/lines' using white cardstock. After I adhered it to my dried watercolor panel. To finish things off, I used the PS Cuppa Sunshine dies for my cup. Which I choose to just have it be white on white and layered the top piece twice. Then added a sentiment using the PS Caffeinated Two stamp set and a touch of burlap twine. Sweet, yeah?!...

Books and Coffee

Hey y'all!
Happy Friday! :)

I'm up on the A Jillian Vance Design blog sharing a fun bookmark for the last day of the new release, as well as, it's the last day of the Coffee Lover's Fall/Winter Blog Hop. Here's a little peek I have to share...

A little festive bee

Hey y'all!
Happy Monday, hope your week is starting off right?!...

I'm swinging in tonight (it's about 10:00 pm here) to share another card I made for the Coffee Lover's Fall/Winter Blog Hop. :)

Who doesn't love a little festive bee?!...
I thought I should change up things a bit, I don't think I've seen anyone make a festive bee yet?...So I gave him a little red and green sweater. Along with some green mittens and red antennas. And a touch of white for the wings and face. Once I was done coloring my bee, I then added a touch of white around him by doing some ink blending. Simple, yeah?!...

Well, that's all for me.
I've been making rounds of hopping and commenting. Which is a big thing for me because I missed the last couple times. So I'm hoping I'll make it all the way through. Even if it takes me until after things end. ;)

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

I (heart) coffee

Hey y'all!
Happy Friday and Happy November 1st! Hope all is well?!...

*Note: For my AJVD new release/coffee post, please scroll down.

I'm swinging back in today to share a card I made for the Coffee Lover's Fall/Winter Blog Hop!

Before Craftin' Desert Divas closed I was lucky enough to pick up a few sets, so what better timing than the Coffee Lover's blog hop to put some of them to use! ;)

I kept things nice and simple. I did a little stamping and coloring with colored pencils. After, I masked my image and then did a little ink blending with a blue ink. Then added a sentiment to finish things off. Easy peasy, right?!...

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