So Vintage - Shabby Chic

Hi There! Here today for the Friends of Waltzingmouse Stamps August Blog Waltz. This month Claire challenged us all to create a project based on a Vintage-Shabby Chic theme (as you probably have guessed this happens to be my fave :) For complete Waltz details please visit the The Play Room. Here is myVintage-Shabby Chic card full of FRUIT...

Glittered Kindness

Hi Friends! Happy Labor Day if you are celebrating here in the US :) Hope you don't have to work! I feel fortunate to have had most of the weekend off besides an 8 hr shift on Saturday. Just a quick lil' card here to share. This week, Sharon is challenging us all to pull out our JustRite Stamps & make some Glitter Magic for this week's JustRite Friday Challenge...

Hi There! Thanks so much to all who played along with last week's Waltzingmouse Sketch Challenge! So many fabulous projects! Here today with an all new sketch. Rather than making a card, I made a lil' home decoration wall hanging for my dear sister, Tina who takes care of my fur babies while I am out of town using the new Spellbinders™ Grand Nestabilities®...

Happy Birthday Mother...WMSC13

Hi Friends! Time for another Waltzingmouse Sketch Challenge! Thanks to all who played along last week, there were once again so many gorgeous projects!I made this card for my Mother-In-Law, Barbara, who will be celebrating her 79th Birthday on September 10th. I pulled out both the LF-127 Grand Scalloped Squares & the LF-126 Grand Squares die templates to create the 1st mat of the card then using the S4-127 Classic Scalloped Squares LG....

Hi Friends! Thanks so much for the sweet comment on my Halloween banner that I made for the Friends of Waltzingmouse Stamps September Blog Waltz. Here today to share this card I made for this week's Waltzingmouse Sketch Challenge. This card is rather Clean And Simple for me. I inked up Musical Backgrounds to create the background for the top layer & paired it with some pretty My Mind's Eye DP.....

Hi There! My hubby & I arrived in Phoenix yesterday afternoon :) We spent the entire day & night catching up on necessary activities of daily living that we had escaped for 10 days! I wanted to say thanks so much to all of you who visited my blog & left such sweet comments especially on my vacation photos - I can't tell you who much I truly appreciate you taking the time to do that :) I am trying really hard to find my crafty MOJO so I pulled out some of my favorite products & had some fun.

This card is a "hodge podge" of sorts - I used all scraps left over from recent projects.

I inked up images from 3 different awesome stamp companies & paired each of them with a Spellbinders™ die template :) In case you were wondering which die template coordinated with each stamped image here are the details : The beautiful pinking border that is stamped in black is an image from the Waltzingmouse Stamps Very Vintage Labels No.3 set paired with a Spellbinders™ Nestabilities S4-189 Labels Three die template. The darling decorative square image that is stamped with SU Tempting Turquoise ink is from the JustRite Stampers Applique Decorative Border & Center set paired with a S4-126 Classic Squares LG die template & the image the pretty Thank You sentiment is from the Flourishes Flourished Words Stamp Set paired with a S4-190 Labels Four die template.

It is after 2:30 am here in Phoenix so I really need some sleep! It is going to be a busy crafting weekend, actually make that a 2 weeks for me as I complete necessary projects. So if I am quiet you'll know why :)

Thanks so much for looking! Have a great weekend!
