Fleas Navidad

Hi y'all! 

Hope all is well?! :)

It's a busy time of year, right?! ;) Things have just been so busy for me lately and I've had some unexpected things that caught me off guard. Though, all is well. But it certainly has been a 'whirlwind' for me. Hopefully things will settle down soon. ;) 

Anyhow, I did find some time to create....which felt sooo nice! :) I made a 'just for fun' card using some oldies but goodies from Paper Smooches. Anyone else miss them?...

Fleas Navidad! heehee

Cute, yeah?!...I did some simple coloring using markers. I seriously haven't used markers in who knows how long...though I thought I'd try to see how I do with them. I did enjoy coloring the cute little doggy and I think I blended things good?...I'm going to have to play with them more. I have gotten so used to colored pencils and trying to go back to markers...well...yeah, it'a a little rough. LOL 

Well, that's all for me.

Thanks so much for stopping by!

Have a great day! :) 

Hey there-Fall/Winter Coffee Lovers Blog Hop

Hi y'all! 

Happy Monday, hope your week is starting off right?! :)

I'm swinging in to share a card I made for the Fall/Winter Coffee Lovers Blog Hop! Don't you just love these hops?!! :) 

Without further ado, here is my card...

Sweet, yeah?!...I kept things simple and just did a little coloring with colored pencils. I used an old Craftin Desert Divas stamp set, I actually had never even used until now! lol Seriously, why did I wait so long to use it?! lol I realized after coloring that have have a couple areas that I went over/outside the line a little but I think it's okay. ;) To finish my card off, I added a little bit of 'snow' and a die cut sentiment. Simple, right?!...

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

Make a wish...

Hi y'all! 

Happy November 1st and Monday, hope you're week is starting off right! :)

I'm swinging in today to share a 'just for fun' card, no challenges or anything. 

Again, I love coloring but it's seems that I continue to be slow at it. lol Though, I'm not complaining about it, I think it's soothing and part of me being slow is because I want things to be 'perfect' (whatever that may be?...). After coloring, I added a little touch of splatters and then stamped on the sentiment. I was going to leave things 'as is' but then added a touch of enamel dots to finish things off. What do you think?...Sweet, yeah?...

Well, that's all for me.

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

Rainbow, happy birthday

Hi y'all! 

Happy Tuesday, hope all is well?! :)

Once again, time has slipped away from me. lol Seriously, where is the time going?!...I'm swinging in today to share a card I made using some new layering stencils and I also did a little hot foiling. This is a 'just for fun' card, no challenges or anything. ;) 

Don't you just love the oversized rainbow?!...I usually struggle with making rainbows (not sure why?) but they just never come out how I picture them. lol But the rainbow stencil from Right at Home...problem solved! ;) Looove! (just my opinion) After having my rainbow stenciled, I added some splatters of paint and then added a layered butterfly (from Tim Holtz/Sizzix)and my hot foiled sentiment (from Pinkfresh Studio). Simple, right?! 

Well, that's all for me.

Thanks so much for stopping by!

Have a great day and week! :) 

Celebrate

Hi y'all! 

Happy Sunday, hope all is well?! :)

I'm swinging in to share another 'just for fun' card that I made using a new stencil set that I bought. To be honest, I haven't bought anything new in quite some time. I think I've been pretty good about that lately. lol But what did it for me was seeing the new Right at Home stencil release, also Jennifer McGuire mentioned about it in a FB group and well, that was enough for me. lol ;) 

Anyhow, here is my card...

Don't you just love the colors and stenciling?! :) I wanted the stenciling to shine, so I simply did a couple quick dies cuts and called it good. Easy peasy, right?!...

Thanks so much for stopping by!

Have a great day and see you soon! 

Hello (shaker card/galaxy background)

Hi y'all! 

Happy Wednesday, hope your week is going good?! :)

I'm sharing a 'just for fun' card that I was inspired by quite a few craft friends. ;) I've been seeing for a while now so many playing with alcohol inks and seeing the stunning results, that I wanted to try some things. But I don't own any alcohol inks...so what was I to do?...I could go buy a few inks and paper but was trying to use things that I already have. After some thinking, I thought I'd use some photo paper (the kind you use in your printer to print photos) and I would try using it with the Nuvo shimmer powders that I have. I didn't know if things would even work for me or what would the end result would be, but I gave it go. Has anyone even done this before?!?...

I think things look pretty good...yeah?!

To get my results, I spritzed some water onto the photo paper and then sprinkled on some shimmer powder here and there and then spritzed things a few more times. I did let things sit for a bit and even dabbed the the paper with a dry paper towel to soak up the remainder of the water on top. That's pretty much it. Now, I don't know how the alcohol inks look when dried on the paper?...but when things were dry, my only wish was it looked more glossy? (if that's even the word I'm looking for?). Things dried good, but maybe I should have sealed it with something?...just to give it more of a glossy/smoother look...this is what somewhat led me to doing a shaker. Probably something I'll play around with more. ;) Though, it's always fun to try new things, right?! :)

That's all for me.

Thank you so much for stopping by!
Have a great day and see you soon! :) 

Let's party!

Hi y'all! 

Happy Friday, yay!! :) 

I'm swinging in today to share a 'just for fun' card that I made. I've been going through things and trying to use things I still have yet to do anything with. ;) (I'm certain this will be never ending with me. lol) 

So here's my card...

I couldn't tell you how long ago I bought the Pinwheel Party bundle from The Greetery, but it certainly was a while ago. lol Anyhow, I finally put things to use and had sooo much fun doing so! Don't you just love those pinwheels?!! :) 

Well, that's all for me...thank you so much for stopping by!
Have a great day and enjoy your weekend!
