2022: Marriage Week Day 4 [card #37]

Hello again, sweet friends! Happy Marriage Week❤️

Today's photo of my card is AWFUL! It really doesn't show how all the papers and details together make this card beautiful. 🤦🏼‍♀️ You win some... you lose some! I also think it has to do with 1.) my photography skills- I lack them! and 2.) I think some camera buttons have been moved and clicked and I don't know how to get it back to "normal". LOL! 

Marriage Week Day 4: I went back to my roots again-- playing with patterned papers. I love these papers, esp the yellow and coral! What I don't like about this card is that I stamped the postage images INCORRECTLY (the circle and waves-- not sure what these are actually called)! I was so confident that I did it right--- LOL! OH MY! Don't look at it! OH GOSH--- now that's all you can look at 🤦🏼‍♀️🤦🏼‍♀️🤦🏼‍♀️ I also had to stamp it twice because the first ink color was too light... what I didn't realize was that the card had moved in my Misti. This created a double image. OY! 🤦🏼‍♀️🤦🏼‍♀️🤦🏼‍♀️ At least Trav will know this was "handmade"!   

Trav's gift for today is another two golf towels--- he needs extra extra backups! LOL! 

That's it for me today. I hope this card inspires you to get creative today or to celebrate your love and marriage❤️

THANKS so much for stopping by!    

Be blessed ❤️

RCC#81: Celebrations {post1}

Hello, friends:}

**After 9am--please click HERE or scroll up/down for my Mama Elephant highlight post.

Have you played along with this month's Ribbon Carousel challenge yet??? The RCC is now doing monthly challenges with a huge prize at the end for one lucky player!!! The prize::: a ribbon carousel!!!!!! This month's theme/challenge--- Celebrations! 

I have been wanting to create a birthday card with this sentiment on it for about six months! I used some old Cosmo Cricket 2wenty-thr3e papers along with some grey vintage seam binding-- I actually wrapped it around the card and tied a bow (but the center panel hides it). I made that brad using the Imaginisce iTop and then stamped the sentiment using several Paper Smooches stamp sets {including Digits, Christmas Sampler, Warm Hearts, Birthday Buddies, Chit Chat, and Perky Plants}. I love love love how it turned out! And I actually played along with a sketch challenge-- or kind of:) I used the Seize the Birthday sketch as my inspiration. **I know that I moved the two circles together and the center panel over... I did a loose interpretation of this sketch:)

That's it for me today--but make sure you stop by the RCC blog for more details for this challenge and DT inspiration!!! And click HERE to link up your creation!

Thanks so much for stopping by! Be blessed:}

Paper Made Bakery July Kit Creations

Hello, friends:}

I've been sharing my Paper Made Bakery creations over on the PMB blog with just sneak peeks here...so I created a post with all my creations that I made using the current month's kit supplies. This is also my LAST post as a PMB DT member. THANK YOU so much, Shannon, for EVERYTHING! I've had a great time working with you and each month's kit!!! 

The PMB July kit, Tea 4 Two, was an AWESOME kit that included papers from Cosmo Cricket and a stamp set by the Sweet Stamp Shop, which was exclusive for the PMB July kit! Here are my projects that I made this month!

The flowers have been fussy cut from several tags included in the July kit. 

That's it for me today! Be sure to stop by the PMB blog and check us out on Facebook and Twitter.

PMB July Release blog hop & GIVEAWAY {post1}

Hello, friends:}


**Please click HERE or scroll/up down for my Paper Smooches SPARKS challenge post.

Today is a super fabulous day! The Paper Made Bakery is having a July release blog hop and GIVEAWAY!! SOOOOOOO fun! 

If you came from Stephanie's blog, you are in the right place-- if you would like to start from the beginning of the hop, please click HERE or go to the PMB blog.


This new July kit {called Tea 4 Two} is AMAZING! There are papers, stickers, and tags from Cosmo Cricket as well as a special stamp set by the Sweet Stamp Shop, created exclusively for the PMB kit!! 

I used the following from the July kit: patterned paper, tags, ribbon, and some embossed cardstock. I LOVE this card--it reminds me of when I was a kid. We didn't have a hill in our backyard but our closest neighbors (about 3 miles away) would come over and play in the fields with us. Playing together really was an "afternoon delight". Thinking about playing like that and not having a care in the world makes me wish I was a kid again! 

That's it for me today--don't forget to stop by all the other PMB DT members' blogs.  Next up--hop on over to Ryann's blog for some more PMB craftiness!

PDCC #132

Hello, friends:} 

We are starting another color story today over on the  Play Date Cafe blog! This week's colors are one of my favs: black, white, and a splash of MUSTARD. Our sponsor this week is Want2Scrap.  

I've created a SIMPLE graduation card! I love it! I love the simplicity with all the gems and glitter! I used some images from my Paper Smooches Smarty Pants stamp set with my gem star from Want2Scrap. The mustard colored paper is from Cosmo Cricket. LOOOOOOOOVE! 

ETA: I'm entering this card into the ABC DT challenge {graduation or wedding card}. 

**Several friends have asked about the center of the star--I die cut a mustard star and then added a black gem star from Want2Scrap to the center of the star.

**I was also asked about my colors for this card--I used black and white cardstock along with a mustard paper from Cosmo Cricket. It's really hard for me to get a good photo of these cards. TRUST me--that cap is black:) 

That's it for me....but be sure to stop by the PDCC blog for complete details and prize information! The PDCC sponsor this week is Want2Scrap. Karen Taylor from Want2Scrap is our guest designer this week! Be sure to link up your creations by Tuesday, May 22th at 11:59pm EST.
