Baby Bear Beatrice makes Debut!

Hello Again!!

Here's a new card I created using Baby Bear Beatrice from CC Designs. I've had this stamp for almost a year and a half and FINALLY inked it up! It is such a cute image I absolutely HAD to get it when it released.

Baby image and ticket stamp and sentiment are all from All That Scraps, papers are from Glitz Uncharted Waters, colored with Copics, edges are sponged with Memento Rich Cocoa ink.

Hope you liked my creation & I'll see you next time!

Happy Crafting my friends!

Simon Says Stamp Haul #1

HEELLLLOOO Everyone!!! 

It's been a while since I've blogged anything. I am hoping to make my way back. 

Life has settled down a little bit and things are good. I've got my craft room about 89% set up, so this should be fun! I don't have a computer yet, and most of my projects will be whatever I can share via my ipad, but at least I have a way to share! :)

I am so excited to share this Haul Video with you all. It's my very first Simon Say order EVER and I HAD to get it on film! Then onto the internet so it'll last forever. lol!!

Be on the look out, I'll be posting some new cards and creations soon!

Happy Crafting my friends!

Happy 4th of July!

Hello All! 

I hope you are having a wonderful day with friends, family & loved ones!

We don't have any plans for the weekend, other than my boy's 4th birthday party on Saturday.

Here is my contribution to the MelJen's challenge this week.

I hope you are inspired to join us over here!

I used Army Bear for this card.

I completed the inside as well ..

Pretty In Pink

Join us for a Pretty in Pink Challenge over at MelJen's Challenge Blog this week!

I used A Girl and Her Kitty Image and colored her two ways, but kept the same layout, papers and color theme for both cards.

Hope to see you there!

Stay Crafty My Friends!

A Fancy Fold First for Me!!

Hello There Fellow Crafters! 

It's my DT Day and for your viewing pleasure and hopefully inspiration, 

I have created a Tri-Fold Shutter Card for you

featuring Bumble Bear Smile!

This card was completely inspired by 

Bets Kondrot's card she posted to the MelJen's Club on facebook. 

I'll be honest, I've never done a fancy fold card before. I've steered clear for a number of reasons, but when I saw her fancy fold, I thought I just had to give it a try! 

I hit a few speed bumps in my creation. The one I hit repeatedly was my cutting. 

I was mismeasuring some of the spaces and had to recut and recut. LOL! But aside from that, I had fun! I will be posting a tutorial on how I made this card next month, so watch out for it!

Thanks for visiting & stay crafty my friends!
