One of a kind

Hey y'all! Happy Saturday!

Hope y'all are enjoying the weekend?!...Not a whole lot going on here, just trying to get some DT projects done. Though, I did take a break to play with a couple challenges. ;)

So, the challenges I'm playing with are: Virginia's View challenge, which is layers/dimensions and Little Tangles challenge, which is sequins. Fun, right?!...



Here's my card.


Different from my normal CAS cards, yeah?...I decided to just have some fun and let things go in the direction it was taking me. ;) I had no real plan, except for the fact I wanted to use a few new goodies. ;) Let me know what you think?!...

Thanks for stopping by!
Enjoy your weekend! :)

Think pretty thoughts

Hey y'all! Happy Friday! :)

This week for some reason has been exhausting for me! Not sure if there's just a lot going on or I'm extra tired?...and today marks 2 yrs since my Dad passed away...I may not know, but I'm pulling myself through it. Or at least trying to.

Anyhow, I do have a card to share! Yay! ;)

Yeah, this may not be the best photo...I'm working with limited light AND I'm playing more with my settings on my camera AND I got a lightbox (which I'm completely clueless on. lol) so, please bare with me. I don't think it's horrible, but could be better. Hopefully, next time will be. ;)
When I saw that little unicorn set, I knew I had to have it! Super cute, yeah?!...

That's all for today. I think may try to actually take a nap...! (gasp!) Well, just a short cat nap/power nap/whatever you wanna call it, because I do have to get my kids soon. ;)

Have a great weekend!
See y'all soon!

Thanks so much for stopping by!

with love

Hey y'all! Happy Monday!



Today, we start a brand new challenge at the Waffle Flower Challenge!



Don't you just love the inspiration photo?!...

Here's what I came up with.


I was drawn to the half butterfly wing. So, I wanted to try and replicate it, somehow. After some thinking and trail and error. I finally had it. I used the 'with love' die on a scrap piece of cardstock and basically made a stencil with it. I just kept place the 'with love' die where I wanted it. Then once done, I placed it over my card base and sponged on my colors. After, I removed my 'stencil' and then stamped on my 'with love' using black ink. To finish things off, I added some twine and a little circle heart piece. So, what do you think?!...

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

Thanks for stopping by!
Enjoy your day!

gold

Hey y'all! Happy Sunday!



Today, we have a brand new challenge at CAS on Sunday! And this time it's all about 'gold'! How fun is that?!...


Here's my card.


So, hopefully you can tell my stump is gold?!...I did some watercoloring for my background. Then did some heat embossing for my stump. To finish things off, I added a few sequins and some twine. I chose not to have a sentiment on my card. Originally, I did have one. Though after taking a photo, I thought it seemed out of place. So, I took it off and thought having leaving it blank, it could be a good 'anytime/anyone' type of card?...Let me know what you think?! ;)

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

Thanks for stopping by!
Enjoy your day!

Have a perfect day

Hey y'all! Happy Tuesday! :)

Today, I'm sharing a card I made just for fun! Yep. No challenges or DT work. Just having fun.

Enjoy.




For those that don't know, tomorrow is my birthday! (So, you may only see me around here and there for a bit.)...I'm pretty sure I'll be 30 again! lol ;) I don't normally to too much. Just spend time with my husband and kids. :)

Thanks for stopping by!
Enjoy your day!

dreams...

Hey y'all! I'm quickly swinging back in to share another card with you! :)


I saw the current Little Tangles Challenge and couldn't resist not playing along! No doubt, there's plenty of time to join, but I was excited! Not just for the challenge, but I actually made a FULL SIZE shaker card!!! Say, what?!!...lol Who is this 'Shelly'?...


I've made mini shakers, a faux shaker, and sprinkled some sequins here and there and now officially a full size shaker card!


Can we all say "WOW"! lol Seriously though, I had such fun making this card! I really didn't even know if I could pull it off. I certainly know how they're made, but wasn't so sure if my full size shaker would even look good. I see so many beautiful shakers that inspire me, yet I never really try to just 'go for it'. When seeing 'sequins' as the theme, I figure this time I'd go all or nothing. ;)

Please let me know what you think!?!...One things for sure, I'm going to try my hand at another full size shaker, in the near future. ;)

Thanks for stopping by!
Enjoy your day!
