Mornin' hens! Today is my grandson Jaxon's 9 month birthday! Can you believe he's already 9 months old?? WOW!! And before you ask, YES, I spoil him ROTTEN!! {{snort!}} So being this card is for June, I thought I would do a SUMMER theme since the first day of Summer is June 21st. Coincidentally, that's the same day as Father's Day. Hmmm, do you think Mother Nature is trying to tell us that men are a HOT MESS!! Bwah-ha-ha-ha!! Ok-ok, back to the card... Using the sunburst die with a silicone…

Sending you Sunshine - wishing you brighter days card - cut triangle "sun rays" and sunburst out on my pazzles and used 2 embossing folders on the pieces to add texture. Saw and copied a steps version by Dawn Mcvay.

Today's inspiration site is the marvelous gallery of Kittie Caracciolo. Oh, my word, her cards are mini-masterpieces! I wasn't inspired by any one card but more of her "style" which often involves a spray of flowers and some white on white. This card would be an example of some of the elements that I was inspired by. (Even though my card is quite different): http://www.splitcoaststampers.com/gallery/photo/2509292?&cat=500&ppuser=15179 I'm also linking to WT497(stencils). After stenciling…

Are you ready for a new challenge over on the Pink & Main Challenge Blog? With a theme like summer, I'm sure you have a project you can enter for the chance to win some great prizes! I used the new “Sunny Hello” stamp set with my Spectrum Noir Sparkle Pens to create this bright and happy card. After stamping the glasses onto some watercolor paper with Versafine Onyx Black ink, I quickly covered the ink with clear embossing powder and melted it with my heat tool. Then, I colored the fun scene…

Ray of Sunshine, you are my sunshine

Happy Wednesday, all! It's time for another challenge at the Simon Says Stamp Challenge blog and it's everyone's favorite, Anything Goes! This week my teamies and I have been playing with the new Simon Says Stamp dies! I had a ball with these, and made 2 cards for you. My first features the Fresh Daisies die: And I also used this Hero Arts/ Studio Calico stamp set, HeyDey Sentiments. So then, of course, I had to use yellows. I die-cut the daisies once from the yellow gingham paper, and a 2nd…

Paper Therapy: My Favorite Things - Wednesday Sketch Challenge #488!

For the Verve April Diva Dare honoring Marisa and Charmaine's unique styles daring us to use flowers, butterflies, or some other fun die shape as a focal element. I chose the Ribbon Banner die instead for my sun's rays. I have long admired both divas' styles, especially Charmaine's CAS cards and her use of bright colors that really pop against the white. And I love, love Marisa's clean crisp lines, her use of texture, and the neat way she creatively uses her die cuts and places them in just…

Hello Blogger Friends! Thanks for taking the time to visit the Charmed Life Blog. I have just returned from my trip to San Francisco. Now I just have to get my body adjusted to East Coast time again. I was there taking care of my granddaughter while her parents went away for a little r & r. We had a wonderful time together and that little ball of energy just wore me out. But we always make memories together that will be shared over and over again. She loves to draw and color so I put…
