All the scraps are from my left over bin..
Ribbon also just a scrap left over just barely big enough to make the bow

A couple of Quick Cards

I hope everyone has been enjoying August and the nice weather we have been having.. I have not been spending much time in my craft room that's for sure..  Had to do a couple of quick cards for friends and family this past week end..I thought I would share them with you as well. 

This first one is for a neighbor who had her birthday on Wednesday..

I have always liked this stamp but it has a saying built right into it that made it hard to use as often as I would like.. looking around I realized I have those nice spellbinder cut outs for sayings...

Second card is for my brother and his wife it is their Anniversary on Sept. 1... hope they have a great one.. I have put this in the mail to them so hopefully it will get there on time.. 

This stamp was Stamp of the Month a while back at Creative Accents and I love it.. So many ways to use it.

Well as I said hope you all are enjoying your summer..
Thanks for stopping by and taking a look.. I have a special card to put up tomorrow for some more friends / neighbors and just all round nice couple it is their  57th Anniversary tomorrow..

Robin's Birthday Card a little early

Robin works with my daughter in Hinton, (the two of them are The Hinton Voice (well owners anyway))
At the end of August is Robin's birthday and usually I am late getting the cards to them.. Just a minute lets redo that.. I have mailed them in time... the Post Office seems to take a long time to deliver them.. So this time I sent it with lots of time and the Post office decided it would speed this one up..

Robin wrote me a nice little message thanking me for the card.. So with out anymore fan fair here is her card..

Robin has a little bit of a shoe fetish.

The stamped image is from Lily of the Valley as well as the saying..
Flowers are Wild Orchard.. ribbon and bling from my stash..

The inside saying is from  Graphic Cat (love it) 

Thanks for looking and Robin you have a great birthday.. Take Care

Colored with Copic's and put together with love and fun.. I don't remember the paper except for the cowboy he is done on Cosmo Cricket Wanted 

Have a great day all.  Take Care and thanks for looking. 

Creative Accents August Challenge

Here we are again time for another Challenge over at Creative Accents Challenges
For the month of August it is Use Your Stash..

We all have stuff we have hardly used or maybe even not used. ( I could not imagine that) or it's been a while since we pulled it out or even a tech. we haven't used in some time.

So crafty people  get looking through your stash and see what you can come up with.

Here is what I managed to find (and to tell the truth is wasn't hard once I started going through stuff)
When I bought my Big Shot I got a nice package (sweet deal) and it had a lot of additions.  I had cut this butterfly once and had it sitting there looking at me for the longest time saying its about time you used me... My thoughts were how and where to use this.  It is meant to be a album or book cover but that is not what it was saying to me. 

Here is my Card -- Easel Card that is.  I used TH Distress  Inks to do the shading-- embossed a back ground stamp that has been in my drawer calling to me--with Kaleidoscope powder-- Some flowers and some Stickles ...

The inside of the card

I had to visit Barb (Mrs. T) for the saying stamps Cornish Heritage (she had not used these yet herself :>)) also borrowed her butterfly punch (she has used this a fair bit) and the branch is also from when I bought the Big Shot as well (did I tell you I got a sweet package).

Now you all get busy and see what you have hid away in your craft central...
So looking forward to see what you come up with.. and get it posted (sure to be some candy involved)
Now be sure to check out some of the other design team members and see what lovely stuff they have managed to do as well.
I to will be having some Blog Candy here soon.. It has been just over 1 year that I have been in Blogland and their are over 8,000 views to see what I have done.. THANK YOU...

Take Care thanks for stopping by... Comments are always treasured.  Have a great day. 

August Sketch Challenge at Graphicat

New month and Cheri over at Graphicat Sketchs has her latest Sketch up... 
Lovely one Cheri..
So as I waited for the guys to restore water to the house I distracted myself in the craft room working on the Sketch... (We have water again it was a split in the pipe) 
Well anyway this is my card for August .. can't believe how fast it went together for me and I really like it.

What I used
Cheri's saying of coarse
Paper My Minds Eye Mabel Papers
Flowers from Wild Orchard
Lace and bling from my stash
TH Tea Dye ink .. Glitter Mist ..&.. Spell Binders 
Thanks for stopping by... Would love for you to leave your comments.. Take Care All

New Stamps in At Creative Accents

Late last week Creative Accents got in some new Krafting Kimmy Stamps and I had to get a few.  Here is what I have done with two of them....

This first one above was a lot bigger than I thought but I am quite happy with the way it turned out. It is a 5-1/2 x 5-1/2 card,  colored with Copic's of coarse, Lace from CA, as well as paper (don't know which one it was from my 12x12 stock.  You can't see the sparkle on the card but it is there. 

This second card (4-1/4"x5-1/2") I paper pieced her dress, colored with Copic's and air brushed with copic's around the Spellbinders cut out.  Dragon has lots of sparkle to him that I could not get to show up in a picture. 

Well with that said if you want to see them close up I should have them to the store by afternoon. 
Hope you all had a great week end and lots of Sun.  It has been the best week end here for weather in a very long time.

Take Care and thanks for stopping by.

Good Morning All Just a quick Post

Good Day all just a quick post to show you some other quick cards I did on the week end. 
I had a sort of Lazy Sunday and wanted to make cards but didn't feel like coloring to much so here is what I came up with. (truth don't think my hands would have been steady enough to color)

I used the Hero Arts back ground stamp Envelopes (?)  TH inks / Hero Arts Feathers / and I don't remember the name of the set with Friends stamp it came from Creative Accents. 

This set below is on display at Creative Accents if you wish to get  a closer look. 

Hope you all are having a great summer and enjoying some nice weather and getting some crafting in as well.
Take Care and Thanks for looking.  See ya all again soon I hope.

Saturday Afternoon Card Making

Well spent some time in the craft room this afternoon and while going through a drawer of stamps found some Hero Arts I had not used yet.  They seemed to yell at me that I better do something with them today. 

Below is what I came up with a simple set of three cards, three different flowers ,in three colors.  I like having a few sets on hand for gifts and such but have not had any done for awhile so it is time to stock up again. 

Anyway here they are.  Hope you all have had a good day with what ever you were up to.  Tomorrow I must work on a couple of cards for some challenges I want to enter. 

Thank you for looking. Be sure to drop by some other time.  I really enjoy hearing from you all as well.

Creative Accents July Challenge

Well June sure went fast here we are already with July Challenge sure hope you got your entries in for last month and here we go for this month.  ANY THING SUMMER oh my that gives you lots to work with.

 So I decided I wanted to do something a little different....  Outside of my Card

Summer always means flowers and garden time to me.  Also means time to relax in the yard surrounded by flowers so here is the inside of my card a pop up.  

Last but not least a top view.

Now I must tell you I had a lot of fun and frustration with this card.  I found the PDF for the shape but no directions??  If any one is interested let me know and I will send you the PDF it was a freebee...
All materials are available from Creative Accents I am not sure if they have the exact same paper but I am sure they can help you find something.

Do stop by CA and see all the Design Teams efforts.  Pictures are fine but much better in person and we really hope to see your entry this month.
Have a good day Take Care and Thanks for Looking.
