Fresh Brewed Designs NEW DIGI RELEASE!

ACK!  I apologize to Heather from FBD that my card/post is late.  I hate to event admit it, but I had created a card using an image that wasn't part of the release.  Shaking my head in shame....  So!  I whipped up this card this a.m. using one of the new adorable digis called Grace in the Garden.  Isn't she cute and proud of her fresh home grown tomatoes?  We just planted tomatoes last weekend....  looking forward to them this summer and making some salsa.  mmm.  :9  I even added some dimensional glaze to the toms here on my card, but you can't really tell in the photo.  Anyway..... head on over to the Fresh Brewed Challenge blog and see the beautiful cards the DT created (ahem, using the correct images and having their work posted on time. hee hee)..... then get your own new FBD digis.  (sentiment I used by Yolie).

new Burlap and Buttercups kit arrived!

I got some scrappin' done this weekend.  Quick and easy Lo's.... plus, we have been sick all weekend. boo :( 

My March Burlap and Buttercups scrapbook kit arrived this week. I whipped out these first 2 LO's using stuff from the kit.  My ds just got student of the month.  :)  Excuse the blurred out information.... 

 I created this quick and easy LO, too, using stuff I got at the LSS and stuff from B&B kit(s)

 This is really easy, but just so cute.  Love this dinosaur paper and embellishments, AND this photo is one of my favorites.....  

TFL!  Hope you had a great weekend!

Boy oh Boy- A|S challenge

The card challenge over at the A Muse Studio Challenge blog is "Boy oh Boy": create a birthday card for a boy.  Here's mine using papers and stamps by A|S along with fern ink.  Buttons, ribbon and blue ink are not as well as TA matte hot chocolate mist spray that I used on the entire card.  Yes, it's extremely bothering me that my saying is crooked.  It looks even more crooked photographed.  gasp! However, I had a heck of time with it for some reason.... I stamped, re stamped, covered up and now....  well, it's the beauty of handmade.  lol!  a bump in the road ...  tee hee.  ;)  This challenge ends tonight (march 11), so if you want in, hurry! 

 

I'm out the door!

I went out for a run in my 'hood today...   I now have me a handy arm band to hold my phone and keys, but I can't fit all my keys, so I made this keychain- this work it work out girl rubber stamp from Fresh Brewed Designs is my personal little logo and motivator....  I stamped her onto this piece of stampbord, colored in, and punched a hole with my crop-o-dile. 

 

My 10K is next weekend.  ACK!  Let's just say it's a good thing it's a run/walk event.  lol!  BUT I will finish it and that's the important part.  :)  HAPPY FRIDAY!

OH YEAH! Gettin' ready....

CAS-ual Fridays challenge 42:  baby projects.

It just so happens I have a friend who is due to have her baby girl pretty much any time now, so this was a good excuse to get her card and gift done.  Her nursery theme is bears.  :)

This bear is a TAC stamp that is one of my favorites ever.  It's one stamp set I can't see me ever giving up. 

and this is a frame I created for the baby's room.   I hope my friend will like it.  It has a spot to hold a wallet size photo. 

some Lo's...

Hello!  I created these LO's last weekend, actually... 

Recap of our Thanksgiving last year. 

 I liked this photo of me and fur kid and had left over scraps of paper, so did a LO for the dog book.

 Valentine LO from this year...   ds was home from school with strep throat, but he felt good and we had a nice day.  :)

TFL!  Happy Sunday! 

Birthday Sundaes Challenge 45

Get Messy is the challenge:  ink it up!  use inks, paints, mists, etc.

Here's my entry.  I used alcohol inks with blending solution to create the background, then stamped (SU!) on it.  I inked around the edges with gold ink.  I colored in the flower with copic markers....  all stamps by SU!

 

A|S Challenge: Monochromatic

Hello all! Happy Friday!!  Posting my card for the A Muse Studio challenge blog:  Monochromatic.

This photo isn't doing any of it justice. The purple shade(s) are a bit off in the photo, but anyway....  here's what I created using A|S stamps.  The cardstock and ribbon is also A|S (except for the light lavender cs), and I colored some pearls with a purple copic marker.  Come on over and play!  You don't *have* to use A Muse products.

Karen's Doodles Challenge 99

The current challenge over at Karen's Doodles Challenge blog is pastels with a twist: also has to be Easter theme.  I just happened to choose this incredibly adorable Easter image from Karen's the last time I won a challenge.  Here's my card:
