... your day ...

Celebrate, celebrate, dance to the music. . . whooo - I love when I'm in a snazzy happy mood! Must be my new happy pills! lol
So - this adorable card was gonna be for a guy, but then I thought it seemed a bit too neutral, so decided to just keep it in my stash as a just in case kinda card....

Supplies: pti cardstock & sentiment, velvet ric rak (can't remember where I found it), versamark & white embossing powder.

That's all for today - hope you all have a great weekend!!

... you're a peach ...

Look who's back ALREADY! ;-) So... when I saw this set, it was an instant MUST HAVE, it's the cutest most adorable set - ever! Tons of possibilities.... Seems like I am all about PTI lately, huh? It's true. Not much to explain - stamped and colored w/ tombows. All stuff is from PTI except the ribbon - which I think I got at Michaels a while ago....

Have a super fabulous day! *mwah*

... baby ...

Hiiiii!
My hubby's cousin is due to have a little baby GIRL next month! Dontcha just love babies??? I have soo been wanting a baby lately.... *sigh* it's not gonna happen, so I get to soak up when other people have babies!

This was my first time using this little pea pod image - gosh, I love making baby cards! ;-)

... daffodils ...

Hello there! I know, I know - I take way too long between posts! I'm just happy I ever get on here.!
So... when PTI started their Year of Flowers sets, I was like - ahhh, I don't need to get them. But then, the second month came around and I saw this incredible daffodil and said - I MUST have it. I think I made about 10 cards with it --- all paper piecing! Loads of fun and super duper easy!
These two cards don't have sentiments, but most of the others I made I put Happy Easter on.

Supplies: PTI cardstock & patterned paper, paisley embossing folder, linen thread from SU! - martha stewart & fiskars border punches.

... cute coffee card ...

First, let me apologize for my crooked picture! They are all a bit cattywompus this week, so be forewarned.
Anyhoo - I started off wanting to make a card for my dad for his birthday, but this turned out a bit more girlie than I'd figured, so it'll go in my stash and I'll try again today to whip up a dad card.
Hope you all had a fabulous weekend. Going to be a gorgeous week here!

supplies: PTI cardstock & stamps, not sure where the patterned paper is from.... I used a strip of scor tape and sprinkled Martha Stewart glitter in brownstone to make that strip. Thanks for looking!

... a few more ...

Hi again! A couple more cards for my neighbor!

On this second lime & black one, you can see the edge of the patterned paper - love it!

The pink paper is from Me & My Big Ideas Tiffanys paper pad, PTI signature greetings, black twill, and black rhinestones.

Have a great day! Enjoy your weekend.......

...lime and black...

Hello friends! It's been a few days, but I'm still trying to get back to *regular* blogging...

My neighbor got some patterned paper for us to make notecards for a friend of hers in Tennessee. I started on a few without her because our schedules are so hectic it just hasn't worked out that we sit and get together to stamp. Here is one of the cards I whipped up for her....

Supplies: Martha Stewat scallop punch, Destination Paradise paper pad by Me & My Big ideas, Signature greetings by PTI, black rhinestones

... ten things ...

Hello friends! Happy Saturday ~ hope you've got something fun planned to do... We are all heading to a birthday party today - yay!
So - my card today.... I made this for my dad. When it came to picking the 10 adjectives to put inside, it was HARD - I didn't think about that part when I stamped the 10 things... next time I'll make sure there are 10 *things* that I can actually use and mean them. Makes me wish there were more additions for this set! I gotta chat w/ Dawn about that (lol - like Dawn & I are friends).
Okay - I'm done rambling.
Here's what I used on the card: dark chocolate cardstock (the orange was a scrap, and I'm thinking it might be SU) the polka dotted paper came from a DCWV mat stack for animal lovers {i KNOW, so NOT me, but there are lots of cute papers and I know lots of animal lovers}.
PTI sets: Top Ten, Top Ten additions, and Vintage labels
Thanks for looking!

... anniversary wishes ...

My sister and hubby just celebrated their 7th wedding anniversary. I wanted to use my Turning a New Leaf set, and do something simple.... I used smokey shadow as an accent, but am not sure I like how it turned out.

Supplies: shimmer cardstock, ripe avocado ink & ribbon (PTI), sentiment - stamping bella

... kraft card for sis ...

Hey friends! My sister was just out here visiting from Maryland (she was lucky enough to escape all that SNOW!) and I wanted to send her a little card to let her know how much I enjoyed her visit. Here's what I whipped up....
Supplies: butterfly image is from My Cute Stamps, sentiment is PTI, various punches, etc.

Thanks for looking!! Have a fabulous day....

...star birthday...

Hello friends! My baby brother is turning 30 on Friday and this is the card I made for him. I totally cased it from A Passion For Papertrey.
I used true black & shimmer cardstock from PTI ~ as well as their Star Prints set. The sentiment is from Stamping Bella...
Have a great Tuesday! ;-)

... mermaid greetings ...

Hi friends!!! Wowzers, here I am AGAIN. I made this card a couple weeks ago. When this image came out from Stamping Bella, I *had* to have it. Don't ask me why, I just adored her. Well, that was MONTHS ago, and I'm just now getting around to using her! Sad, isn't it? I like to think that happens often to many of you stampers so I don't feel so bad.

Supplies: new leaf c/s (PTI), shimmer b/g paper - i have no idea, I got it on clearance at my LSS in NC. Button is from PTI's aqua mist collection - love the shimmer! I used my Sakura glitter pen to go over her scales to make them shiny, too. Sentiment from TAC.

... rain or shine ...

This is one of my favorite cards - ever. In fact, I created like half a dozen that all sorta look like this. I love pink and red together.
The red velvet rick-rack I ordered off e-bay a while ago. I wish I could find that type of stuff locally!

Supplies: pure poppy c/s, simple valentine, and scattered showers stamp set (all from PTI).

... valentines cards ...

Hello friends!
So, it's only been like 3 months since I've blogged. Wowzers.... Anyhoo - I'll try to be better about it again, but don't hold me to that! ;-)
I've been on a Valentine card-making kick recently, so here are two that I want to share. I've had this patterned paper for quite a while now...

Oh, and I got a new border punch from EK success, that's what you see on these cards.

Supplies: new leaf cardstock (PTI), Simple Valentine (PTI), rick rack, raspberry fizz twill...

... JOY to the world ....

Well..... this card I made a month ago.... I was going through my Christmas/winter embellishments and found the snowflakes and the chipboard stickers. I need to get some square envelopes to put this in, because I definitely see me making more square cards.

Get keys to the house today! Yipppeeeeeeee!!!!! It won't be till this afternoon, so we will actually be moving our stuff tomorrow.
