Hello my dear friends!!! How is everyone’s weekend going?? I do hope you all are enjoying it. I have another quiet weekend with my grandson gone to his mom’s so I finished some cards I had been working on this week.

First I have this adorable Mimosa image from Bildmalarna I tell  you these images are so darling. I have colored her with my copic’s and have used some papers from BG. I used the SU ticket punch for the edges of the image and added some spacers and brads. I then had this chipboard wording so thought it looked pretty good. Then this adorable ribbon !!!!!!!! OMG I got my package from The Ribbon Girl that I won and I tell you what folks this ribbon is awesome.  I am so loving it and have used my ribbon on several cards I have made. I am defiantly going to be getting me some more of this gorgeous ribbon that is for sure. I also added a BG button to the front of the bow.

Now my next card is an adorable Lily Of The Valley image. Aren’t these girls such cutie pies?? She has been colored with my copics and I added some glamour dust to her necklace. Again I have used some of the gorgeous ribbon from The Ribbon Girl  this one is the seam binding and it is so yummy my papers are from The Paper Studio . I added some sizzix photo corners and I used the sketch over at Create 4 Fun Challenge Blog. And the theme over at Lily Of The Valley Challenge Blog is to have circles on your card.  Then I also made this for another challenge where there is a color challenge. Over at The Ribbon Girl Challenge Blog the theme is to use the colors Pink, Brown and Cream. I think this fits fine and with this adorable ribbon of theirs I just had to enter it.

Now look at this Simply Adorable !!!!!! Oh I had so much fun doing this card. It has been a long time since I made my own background papers and so had a blast. I have used Verity from Sugar Nellie here. I used the wording from Verve and some spellbinder dies.  I am entering this card into the Everybody’s Art Challenge for there gorgeous sketch.

My next card is called Call Me from Sugar Nellie and is available over at Funky Kits. She has been colored with my copic’s also.

I am entering this card into the challenge over at PaperTake Weekly Challenge Blog where there is a gorgeous sketch by Dawny.

I have used one of my new stamps from Sugar Nellie from the Leanne Ellis collection called If Only !!! Isn’t she a doll ??? She is also available now over at Funky Kits. She has been colored with my copic’s and I have used some papers from  SU. The flowers are from Prima and I added a flat pearl to the center of them and used the LEM leaf punch. The wording is from High Hopes.

I hope to be back tomorrow with some of my new stamps from Sugar Nellie that I got this week. They are yummy. See  you then and am sending you all Big Hugs (((((((()))))))

I played almost all weekend.

Well I am having some major issues trying to upload this post so am trying to type it all up again.

I spent all weekend most playing. Dyllon was at his mom’s and my Design Team package finally came from Sugar Nellie it had gotten lost but finally made it so I wanted to get caught up on some of them so used some challenges to get some inspiration.

This first card was really hard for me to do for I made it for a dear friend of mine that just found out she has 2 months to live. She has cancer and had been fighting it for awhile but now the hope is all gone. So this was really hard to use but I used this gorgeous image from Sugar Nellie  she is called Grace and I colored her with my copic’s. Papers are from Cloud 9  I used a sentiment from Lily Of The Valley and the flowers are from Prima and Wild Orchid Crafts with the MS branch punch. I used the sketch over at Fun with Shapes Challenge Blog for there gorgeous sketch and Creative Inspiration for there theme of Plain and Simple.

Now this is one of those darling images from Bildmalarna and I won 2 images from the last challenge I was on cloud nine. I so love these cuties. This is Mimo and I have colored him with my copic’s and have used a sentiment from Simon Says Stamp.  The papers are from MME and the flowers are from Wild Orchid Crafts  I used a swirl bling  and a Maya Road pin on the card also. I used the theme over at 7 Kids College Fund Challenge Blog

 

Now look at this darling this one is Best Witches from Sugar Nellie from the Simply Sassy collection. I have colored her with my copic’s and have used the sketch over at Basic Grey Challenge Blog  and have used the papers Urban Prairie. Flowers are from Wild Orchid Crafts and the leaf is from Magnolia. The sentiment is from Lily Of The Valley and flowers are by Prima along with the MS branch punch, ribbon is from my stash.

 

Now here is a card I made with the sketch over at Create 4 Fun Challenge Blog I also am entering this into the challenge at Color Create for the colors are Red, Brown and Cream, and also for Paper Sundaes Challenge which is to use masculine colors. I used another image from Sugar Nellie from the Simply Sassy collection called Skater Girl. I used papers from Cloud 9 and the sentiment is from High Hopes  and I used some punches from SU for it . Flowers are from Prima and I used a swirl from Bosskut .  I added some Pearl Pen for some bling at the top corner.

Another Simply Sassy from Sugar Nellie she is called Windswept. Here I have used some papers from K and Co  and flowers from Wild Orchid Crafts  with the MS branch punch. The sentiment is from Lily Of The Valley and I have used the beautiful sketch over at Friday Sketchers. She has also been colored with my copic’s.

Oh and I am so in love with this adorable Donald from Sugar Nellie. He is from the Home Grown collection and he just makes me want to squeeze him. I have used some papers from K and Co and Donald has been colored with copic’s. I used some ribbon from my stash and a spellbinder die with a High Hopes sentiment.  I used the sketch over at Sketch Saturday for this card.

Now for my last project I used one of the new images from Leanne Ellis over at Sugar Nellie and have used an effects technique from Nancy Curry to make a coaster.  I used all kinds of household goods to make this  coaster. I did use some alcohol inks with it and colored the edges with a Gold Leafing Pen that you can see in the next picture and added some felt under it.

Well that is it for me. I do hope this will post this time. I have tried for hours so decided to just try to type it up again. Hope you all had a great weekend and I need to get back to finishing the household chores. Sending you all big hugs (((((((((()))))))))))))

You are so special

Good Day all my dear friends !! Well we are half way through the work week !! Yippee !!

I have a couple of cards to show you today that I made for a few challenges. First up here is this cutie from Bildmalarna and she is called Tossa with flower. She has been colored with my copic’s. Isn’t she just the cutest??? I have used some papers and punches from SU on my card (my favorite color lol) and the wording is a deformed sentiment from Magnolia. Now why in the world would they do this to a stamp is beyond me (so wish I would of noticed it better before I bought it). I used some flowers from Wild Orchid Crafts and the branch is from MS. I cut out a heart and added some PennyWise glass beads to it for the challenge this month over at Bildmalarna Blog  is to add a heart to your card. Then my ribbon is from my stash.

The next card I have for you is a sketch I followed by Dawny over at the Lily Of The Valley Challenge Blog . I just love her sketch’s. I have used this adorable image from Lily Of The Valley that reminds me so much of my youngest granddaughter. She is a little miss prissy that is for sure lol

I have colored my image with copic’s and the papers are also from SU (still trying to use all my stash ) The ribbon is from HL and the flowers are from Wild Orchid Crafts with the MS branch punch. I added some flat bling to the top of one of the corners. I used some spica glitter pen on the necklace.
