I came across this adorable image called <a href="http://saturated-canary.myshopify.com/products/egg-tra-special" target="_blank">Egg-stra Special</a> at Saturated Canary and thought she'd be perfect for this challenge. Papers are from Maja Designs <a href="http://www.liveandlovecrafts.com/maja-design-6x6-pads/940-life-in-the-country-6x6-pad.html" target="_blank">Life In the Country</a> pack.

Stuck on a <a href="http://www.scrappingcenter.com/Advantus--Idea-Ology-Hanger-Clips-24Pkg_p_1771.html" target="_blank">hanger paper clip</a>, also by Tim Holtz, for whatever reason came across my mind at the time LOL, but I thought it looked rather cute. <br />
<br />

<br />
Hope you all have had a fantastic week. It's been another busy one here. Nick and Jordan left for Florida bright and early on Tuesday morning (don't you all just love getting up at 430 in the morning?), and I've been babysitting the 9- and 2- year olds all week. Tomorrow is the last day... phew.<br />
<br />
I'm popping in with my DT card for this fortnight's challenge at <a href="http://stampinfortheweekend.blogspot.com/" target="_blank">Stampin' for the Weekend</a>. We are being sponsored by one of my most fav digi artists- Krista at <a href="http://saturated-canary.myshopify.com/" target="_blank">Saturated Canary</a>, who so generously supplied us with images to work with. The theme for this challenge is butterflies. <br />
<br />
I made a card for my sister, who is expecting her first baby; she is actually due two days before I am. We've just recently found out that she is having a girl! Yay for girls! I'm so excited for her.<br />
<br />

I was so thrilled to finally be able to use my new butterfly edge die by Joy! Crafts. Just love it.<br />

<br />
I can't believe how fast this summer has flown by, and we are now down to the last lazy days of summer here. I've enjoyed a few brief days with all my kids at home, but Jordan has been spending the weekend with her friend and then her and Nick are off to Florida to visit grandma for a week. Two days later, it's back to school! Wow, December and the new baby will be here before I know it.<br />
<br />
This week at <a href="http://avenue613.blogspot.com/" target="_blank">613 Avenue Create</a>, the optional twist is to use a school supply. Our fantastic sponsor is <a href="http://lacysunshine.weebly.com/" target="_blank">Lacy Sunshine</a> who has some of the most adorable digis- be sure to check them out if you haven't already!<br />
<br />
I decided to make a back to school card for Jordan using Kenna Back to School. She's a cutie for sure!<br />
<br />

I've used papers from her American Girl paper stack along with some flowers from Wild Orchid Crafts and The Ribbon Girl. The apples and white spray is from Live and Love Crafts. For my school supply twist, I've used a flower paper clip by Maya Road as well as a page from her student planner with the day she goes back to school. <br />

I tried something different with her eyes. Will have to play around with it a bit I think. But not too bad for the first attempt :)<br />

<br />
Still working on getting my new craft area in order. Can you believe I haven't even filled up my drawers or cabinets? Such a great excuse to shop more LOL!<br />
<br />
I hope this finds everyone doing well! I can't believe it's Friday already- time sure flies. And! It's been two whole weeks since our last challenge at <a href="http://stampinfortheweekend.blogspot.com/" target="_blank">Stampin' for the Weekend</a>! The theme this fortnight is Shape It Up. We want to see your cards in any shape EXCEPT square or rectangle. Our fabulous sponsor is <a href="http://www.etsy.com/shop/RickStdennis" target="_blank">Rick St. Dennis</a>. You have two weeks to join in the fun- can't wait to see what everyone creates!<br />

I chose to use Sandi... who I can't seem to find in his shop any longer, elsewise I'd link it up. She just reminds me of Jordan playing dress up. I used my Prismacolors to color her up, this is only the second time I've used them. Going to have to play with them a lot more to get the hang of these, I think. That reminds me though, I need to order some Gamsol (mental note inserted here). The pink ribbon is from Really Reasonable Ribbon. Pink roses are from Wild Orchid Crafts, while the white gardenia in the center I made from my Cheery Lynn Gardenia Strip die. The Hello and Friend sentiment dies are also from Cheery Lynn, as is the Rose Leaves and the other foliage.<br />

Wishing everyone a fantastic weekend!<br />

<br />
Popping in with my last week as guest designer at my most fave die company, Cheery Lynn. Hope this finds
everyone doing well and enjoying a warm, sunny weekend wherever you are!<br />
<br />
I was right last week- my new dies arrived with plenty of time to play
with for this week's post; super fast shipping. I managed to come up
with a card that is... well, on the different side I guess. I'm not too
sure how I ended up with it but I rather like it. I hope you do too!<br />

I used the new Gardenia Strip; however, instead of using the center
pieces of the flower I added in a little bling and tucked it into two
sets of the new Dainty Bows that I heat embossed with Shabby Green
Fran-tage. The lock was also heat embossed, except with Shabby White
Fran-tage. Notice the two buttons that are tied? Just open it up :)</div>

While playing around with the Horizon Square Boutique Stacker Frames, it
hit me to make a flap with the new Cape Cod Doily underneath. A little
extra spot on the front of the card to use more of our favorite Cheery
Lynn dies! It does still open at the bottom like a regular card as
well. I think I may play around with the closure more on the next one.
If I had known this is what it would lead to I probably would have used
ribbon tucked under the papers.<br />

After some computer problems and then moving my craft room from the main
floor of our house to the basement, I'm just about up and ready to get going again.
Still have some tweaking to do with my new craft area, hopefully it won't be much longer- I'm just itching to get in there and play in my new area! </div>

<br />
Just popping in quickly to share another card I made as guest designer for <a href="http://www.cheerylynndesigns.com/" target="_blank">Cheery Lynn</a>.<br />
<br />
Have you all been seeing all the gorgeous creations from the DT showcasing all the new dies. They all
did such a wonderful job with their projects, didn't they? The new dies
are all so lovely, I had such a hard time deciding which ones I wanted!
I would not be surprised if they are here in time for me to play with
by my post next week. One thing I absolutely love about ordering
directly from Cheery Lynn is how super fast my order ships. <br />
<br />
This week while looking around for inspiration, I found some really
pretty cards that I wanted to give a try. I have seen them called book
cards or shadowbox cards. I also have a few border/edger dies that I
haven't used yet which I thought would work perfectly for this type of
project. Here is my first go (lots of pictures):<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
This is the front of the card, the ribbon on the side is to tie the two covers closed. </div>

This was taken from a different angle, to show the dimension of the flowers.<br />

<br />
Here is a close up of the flowers. I've used the Daisy Strip, Shasta
Daisy Strip and Chrysanthemum Strip. There is also some different
foliage (list at bottom), a bark heart and some flower buds that my
darling toddler brought to me to add in lol!<br />
<br />

<br />
This is the inside of the card- the shadowbox portion. As you can see,
I've been playing around with bits and pieces again :) The only problem
I have with that is I tend to forget which dies I've used pieces from!
Doesn't the Felicity Doily look a bit like a lace sun? So pretty.
I've also used another Daisy Strip, but this time I folded the petals in
half lengthwise before shaping the rest of the way.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: left;">
And lastly, here is a picture of the inside cover. I chose this paper
out of the bunch (Prima's Fairy Rhymes) because of the lined section which will give me a spot
to write my sentiment/message once I decide what to use the card for.<b> </b></div>

So, after a fiasco of getting Miss Jordan to camp (going to the wrong place on the other side of the state, her getting carsick), she made it - albeit late- and had a great time! Sadly, she was only home for a day and a half before she boarded a plane this morning to head off to Illinois to visit family for two weeks. She'll be home for another week after that, and then will be heading off to Florida to visit Grandma and Grandpa for a week. She's becoming quite the traveler!<br />
<br />
That's it for me for a few days. Sorry my posts and projects have slowed down again- hopefully after the kids wind down from all their summer activities, I'll be able to get more crafting time in again :)<br />
<br />
Wishing everyone a fantastic weekend!<br />

<br />
July 15th sure came around quickly, didn't it?!? I am so very sorry I have not had a chance to visit everyone's blogs, but a big, <b>HUGE</b> thank you to everyone who joined in to help me celebrate! Wow- 52 followers now! Thank you so very much to all my new followers. I plan to hop around to visit everyone tonight after I get the two babies to bed. But please don't go anywhere! I will have a new blog candy within the next few weeks to celebrate hitting the 50 follower mark! Just have to go shopping (which I've actually already started LOL) and get everything in so I can get a picture. With me being in the US, it usually takes about two weeks for shipping from the UK which is where my favorite stores are :) And, since it's a "general" blog candy, I feel free to roam into non-baby related items. So... stay tuned for more!<br />
<br />
Sadly, the first person that came up in random.org's number drawing wasn't a follower. Now, onto the second number:<br />

<br />
This post will remain at the top until July 15. Please scroll down to view the most current post :) <br />
<br />
I'm just so thrilled to be having another boy on the way (announcement <a href="http://craftedmyfancy.blogspot.com/2013/06/its-that-time.html" target="_blank">here</a>), I wanted to share my excitement with my followers. I've put together a
(mostly) blue themed package. I hope you all will find it a great bunch of items- I
really had a lot of fun picking things out and putting it all together. I admit, I keep adding more to it, so there may be things on the list that are not in the picture.<br />

So, what do ya'll think?
Is it good? The rules...<br />
<br />
1) be a follower! But please do not
become a follower and then leave. That would really just make me sad
(and everyone knows how hormonal pregnant ladies can be lol). Please respect this rule. <br />
<br />
2) Enter your name in the linky below (make sure you enter a valid email address so I can get in touch with you).<br />
<br />
3) Help spread the word- it would really be appreciated if you post a candy piccy in your sidebar with a link back here, or on Facebook, Pinterest, etc... anything to help spread the word. There will be some extra surprises in the winners box if this is done. I think I have an extra Maja Designs Vintage Spring Basics 6x6 pad and Tim Holtz's Chit Chat stickers (amongst other things) laying around *wink wink* hehe<br />
<br />
Simple
enough? =] I am more than willing to send this anywhere in the world,
so international friends are more than welcome to join in the
celebration! The more, the merrier, right? I'll let Mr. Random do his thing
around July 15th. <br />
<br />
Good luck, and thanks so much for helping me celebrate!<br />

<br />
I'm back with my second project for Cheery Lynn! I needed something quick, as this came up a bit unexpectedly. It is for my grandmother, a very special lady to me. My grandfather passed away three days ago. I don't have anything for a sympathy card (that is now on my list of things to get!), but I really wanted to let her know that she is in my thoughts, especially since I am unable to make it to the funeral. She is quite elderly, so I was wanting something a bit elegant/pretty, and a bit on the vintage side as well. Here is what I came up with:<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEha3ZapXrysJT3chxP5XvUnPITLUPnK7eLN9Iyp1FHPgVJmhtokgV7q2AshEQ-MBtoZrRoPkuq1HdgXnOD1iZRf08VzexnlXeMchHaW1KIR20SIHLYRrNey5QyZQN5llLcsYekxC6mV2Who/s1600/week2cl.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="367" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEha3ZapXrysJT3chxP5XvUnPITLUPnK7eLN9Iyp1FHPgVJmhtokgV7q2AshEQ-MBtoZrRoPkuq1HdgXnOD1iZRf08VzexnlXeMchHaW1KIR20SIHLYRrNey5QyZQN5llLcsYekxC6mV2Who/s400/week2cl.png" width="400" /></a></div>
<br />
I love my Cheery Lynn butterflies just as much as I love the flowers.
They are so delicate, and still can be shaped into a dimensional
embellishment just as you would a flower. It is also so much fun to
play around with bits and pieces of different dies to create different
looks. The top border above the ribbon is a side I cut off from the
Dutch Doily Rectangle Frame. I've also used half of a Polynesian Sails
Oval on the bottom half of the card. Added a few other embellishments,
and viola! Done in under half an hour.<br />

<br />
I'm so thrilled to have been invited to be a guest designer for my most fave die company- <a href="http://www.cheerylynndesigns.com/" target="_blank">Cheery Lynn</a>! You can find their inspiration blog <a href="http://cheerylynndesigns.blogspot.com/" target="_blank">here</a>.<br />
<br />
Here is my first card, also posted on the above site:<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
The flowers were all made out of tissue stock. I cut one strip of each <a href="http://www.cheerylynndesigns.com/miniature-rose/" target="_blank">Miniature</a>, <a href="http://www.cheerylynndesigns.com/medium-rose/" target="_blank">Medium</a> and <a href="http://www.cheerylynndesigns.com/large-rose/" target="_blank">Large</a> rose strips. The pieces were then stamped with Spun Sugar Distress Ink. The one on the bottom left was shaped, while the one on the top was shaped and then spritzed with Perfect Pearls Mist (in the color Perfect Pearls lol) for a nice shimmer, then it was scrunched up. When it dried I fluffed it up a bit. For the third one on the right, I just spritzed and scrunched, then fluffed when dried. I've also used the <a href="http://www.cheerylynndesigns.com/rose-leaf-strip/" target="_blank">Rose Leaf Strip</a>, <a href="http://www.cheerylynndesigns.com/wreath-strip/" target="_blank">Wreath Strip</a>, <a href="http://www.cheerylynndesigns.com/mini-fanciful-flourish/" target="_blank">Mini Fanciful Flourish</a>, <a href="http://www.cheerylynndesigns.com/two-of-hearts/" target="_blank">Two of Hearts</a>, <a href="http://www.cheerylynndesigns.com/bird-cage/" target="_blank">Bird Cage</a>, <a href="http://www.cheerylynndesigns.com/tags-2/" target="_blank">Tags 2</a>, and <a href="http://www.cheerylynndesigns.com/mini-font/" target="_blank">Mini Font</a>.<br />
<br />
For the card base, I used the largest of the <a href="http://www.cheerylynndesigns.com/french-flair-classic-lg-stackers-nesting-dies/" target="_blank">French Flair Stackers</a>. The border was made from the largest of the <a href="http://www.cheerylynndesigns.com/french-flair-doily-stacker/" target="_blank">French Flair Doily Stackers</a>, then cut out of the middle is the second largest of the French Flair Stackers. This was then filled in with the same cut from different paper.<br />
<br />
The bird cage was heat embossed with Shabby White Fran-tage. I've added a few random flat back pearls, as well as a pearl stick pin and Shabby Seam Binding from <a href="http://www.cheerylynndesigns.com/large-rose/" target="_blank">Live and Love Crafts</a>.<br />
<br />
Thanks so very much for stopping by- wishing you all a fantastic weekend!<br />

<br />
We have such a fabulous photo inspiration starting at <a href="http://stampinfortheweekend.blogspot.com/" target="_blank">Stampin' for the Weekend</a>! I was so excited about it as I really love these colors (not to mention the shabby chic look). You would think I would have been ahead of the game and not running late this time. LOL! yeah, right. Story of my life, I think. Anyways- our fabulously fantastic sponsor this fortnight is <a href="http://saturated-canary.myshopify.com/" target="_blank">Saturated Canary</a>. Love, love, love working with Krista's images. They're just too cute!<br />
<br />
First off, here is the photo inspiration:<br />

The image I chose is <a href="http://saturated-canary.myshopify.com/products/sabrina" target="_blank">Sabrina</a>. I'm not sure who the papers are by, as they came in a kit. Flowers are from <a href="https://www.wildorchidcrafts.com/us/" target="_blank">Wild Orchid Crafts</a> and <a href="http://www.ribbongirl.co.uk/catalog/" target="_blank">The Ribbon Girl</a>.

The wooden ticket is by Prima, and there's a Tim Holtz chit chat sticker and adage ticket stuck on there as well. There is also some tulle that I stamped with Victorian Velvet Distress Ink hiding in there.<br />
<br />
Thank you so very much for stopping by. Hope those that celebrate the 4th had a fantastic time with gorgeous fireworks! Wishing you all a fantastic weekend to boot!<br />

<br />
I'm popping in with my last DT card for <a href="http://wagsnwhiskersrubberstamps.blogspot.com/" target="_blank">Wags n Whiskers</a>. Sadly, I've got a bit too much on my plate right now and have decided to cut back on my design teams. I have most certainly had a great time with some really awesome and talented teamies as well as creating with some of the most fun images available. Thank you so much, ladies! I look forward to seeing your creations out there in bloggerland!<br />
<br />
This fortnight, our theme is <b>Cute as a Button</b>. We would love to see buttons on your creations! One lucky random winner will receive their choice of a rubber stamp. The image I chose to use for my card is called Millie's Little Prince. I've kept it a bit on the simple side, as it is a birthday card for my grandmother.

<br />
I'm so very excited- it's finally time! My lovely postlady dropped off not just one package I was expecting today, but a bunch of packages which I wasn't sure when would arrive... a big WHOOT WHOOT! Now I can finally post my announcement, and, following this post will be my post for <a href="http://craftedmyfancy.blogspot.com/2013/06/its-boy-blog-candy.html" target="_blank">celebratory blog candy</a>. <br />
<br />
Drum roll!!<br />
<br />
There's a new baby on the way! Hubby and I are expecting our sixth, and
last, precious bundle around mid-December. I've been waiting for test results which have thankfully come back normal so far (still have my 20 week anatomy scan at the end of next month). This has been a huge relief since quite frankly, I'm not much of a spring chicken any longer lol. But I was also waiting on my MIL to receive her card that I made for the gender announcement:<br />

If all the blue didn't give it away, I am finally having another boy! Yay! After 17 years and three gorgeous girls, I am so very excited to be having another bouncing baby boy. <br />
<br />
So, about the card! This card was very heavily inspired (with permission) by the Stampin for the Weekend challenge blog's owner, Rebekah. I stalk her <a href="http://berryliciousblog.blogspot.com/" target="_blank">blog</a> frequently as I just love her cards! Check out her gorgeous work and leave some love :)<br />
<br />
Papers are from the Vintage Summer Basics by Maja Design. Most of the flowers are from <a href="https://www.wildorchidcrafts.com/us/" target="_blank">Wild Orchid Crafts</a>. Beaded stamens and chrysanthemums by Kort and Godt are from <a href="http://www.ribbongirl.co.uk/catalog/index.php" target="_blank">The Ribbon Girl</a>. Bark Heart is from <a href="http://www.liveandlovecrafts.com/" target="_blank">Live and Love Crafts</a>. There's also an adage ticket by Tim Holtz, and some scattered pearls here and there. I used Cheery Lynn's <a href="http://www.cheerylynndesigns.com/eastern-star-doily-with-angel-wing/" target="_blank">Eastern Star Doily</a> die, cut in half to hopefully resemble a large heart. There is also the Stitched Tabs die and Heart Banner die, both by <a href="http://lalalandcrafts.com/" target="_blank">La-La Land Crafts</a>. The beautiful blue lace peeking out under the flowers is from my sweet (and <b>very</b> talented) blogging friend Dianne, who's blog can be found <a href="http://magpiedi-magpiedi.blogspot.com/" target="_blank">here</a>. The digi stamp is called <a href="http://www.funkykits.co.uk/catalog/product_info.php?products_id=2097" target="_blank">Bebe</a>, by Sugar Nellie which was colored with Copics.<br />
<br />
I do hope you will all join in my "it's a boy" blog candy celebration which is located <a href="http://craftedmyfancy.blogspot.com/2013/06/its-boy-blog-candy.html" target="_blank">here</a>! I had so much fun picking everything out specifically for this occasion... especially since hubby said it's too early to be clothes shopping. But shhh... I did a little of that too LOL<br />
<br />
Wishing you all a fantastic rest of the week!<br />

<br />
I've had such a quiet, peaceful weekend crafting all the stress from the week away (in addition to the other mommy duties that is lol). I hope each of you have found some time for yourselves!<br />
<br />
I really enjoyed working on this card. The image is from <a href="http://saturated-canary.myshopify.com/" target="_blank">Saturated Canary</a>, and is called <a href="http://saturated-canary.myshopify.com/products/sweet-oklahoma" target="_blank">Sweet Oklahoma</a>. A short while back, Krista put the image on special and the proceeds were to be sent to our challenge blog owner's daughter, Lindsay, who lost quite a bit during the tornadoes that hit Oklahoma a few weeks ago. Such a great image (as all her images are), and an even greater cause. And, since we have no sponsor image for the challenge this fortnight, a few of us teamies decided to use it as a special thank you to Krista for her kind, generous heart. So, Krista, if you happen to be reading this- you just rock, girl!<br />
<br />
Onto the challenge! This fortnight over at <a href="http://creativecardcrew.blogspot.com/" target="_blank">Creative Card Crew</a>, the challenge theme is <b>No designer papers</b>. Our fabulous sponsor is <a href="http://www.scrappingcenter.com/" target="_blank">Scrapping Center</a>, and one lucky random winner will receive a $15 store voucher.<br />

Gorgeous image, huh? I think I have left too much white in her hair, I may go back and touch it up in a few spots. Anyway, since this is for a friend who is going through a rough patch, I wanted to remind her "there's always sunshine after the rain". Following that theme, I did a lot of distressing to the card and decided on peachy- orange and yellow colors. I used a piece of corrugated cardboard I've had sitting around forever, which has <a href="http://www.scrappingcenter.com/Ranger--Stickles-Glitter-Glue-5-Ounce--Gold_p_11729.html" target="_blank">gold Stickles</a>, <a href="http://www.scrappingcenter.com/Ranger--Studio-Multi-Medium-5-Ounces--Gesso_p_75916.html" target="_blank">Gesso</a> and <a href="http://www.scrappingcenter.com/Stampendous--Embossing-Kit--Frantage_p_9900.html" target="_blank">Shabby White Fran-tage</a>. The <a href="http://www.cheerylynndesigns.com/vertical-mesh-hearts-border/" target="_blank">Vertical Mesh Hearts</a> is by <a href="http://www.cheerylynndesigns.com/" target="_blank">Cheery Lynn</a>.<br />

<br />
I know I've been a bit on the quiet side lately, a lot going on. I have taken on babysitting for two extra kiddos, giving me a total of two 9 year olds, two 2 year olds, a six month old (all girls) and a 17 year old boy who likes to antagonize them all. This is of course in between packing them up and running them all over multiple counties to his baseball games- sometimes three games in one day. Ouch! Needless to say, I'm beat and have not had my much needed craft time LOL! Alas, it keeps me young... aside from the gray or two on my head that is; or three or four hundred, but who's counting? :)<br />
<br />
So, enough about me. For now anyway. But be sure check back within the next week or two as I have an announcement that will involve some awesome blog candy (<b>oh</b> <b>BOY!</b> *wink wink*) for my followers. I'll be posting it as soon as all my orders arrive. For now, the secret remains.<br />
<br />
How about everyone's favorite challenge?!? It's <b>anything goes</b> over at <a href="http://stampinfortheweekend.blogspot.com/" target="_blank">Stampin' for the Weekend</a>! This fortnight we are being sponsored by <a href="http://www.prettylittleribbonshop.co.uk/" target="_blank">Pretty Little Ribbon Shop</a>. <br />

For my DT card, I chose to use a Wee Stamps cutie. Red dotted paper is
by My Mind's Eye, cupcake paper is by Basic Grey and the red pearlized
cardstock is by the Paper Studio. Flowers from Wild Orchid Crafts,
stamens from The Ribbon Girl. Birthday stamp is from Hero Arts. And there's some silver dew drops from Robyn's Nest.<br />
<br />
We would love, love, love to see your creations! Have a peek at the awesome creations from my teamies while your there- fantastic job as always!<br />
<br />
Wishing you a wonderful, craft filled weekend! I know for sure, I'll be doing as much relaxing crafting as I possibly can!<br />

<br />
I'm bouncing in quickly to share a new challenge starting at <a href="http://creativecardcrew.blogspot.com/" target="_blank">Creative Card Crew</a>. The challenge this fortnight is <b>Metal</b>. We would love to see some type of metal on your creation- be it a stick pin, charm, corner embellishment, etc. We are being sponsored by <a href="http://pizzazzaplenty.blogspot.com/" target="_blank">Pizazz Aplenty</a>, who is offering a surprise prize and <a href="http://www.qkrstampede.com/" target="_blank">QKR Stampede</a>, who is offering winner's choice of five digi stamps.<br />
<br />
For my card, I chose to use <a href="http://www.qkrstampede.com/proddetail.php?prod=digi24003" target="_blank">Birdhouse and Vines</a>, such a pretty image I think. Papers are from Prima's Fairy Rhymes.<br />

<br />
I am so very excited about this challenge over at <a href="http://avenue613.blogspot.com/" target="_blank">613 Avenue Create</a>! As always, it is an anything goes challenge blog, with an optional theme. This week's theme is so much fun- I had such a great time with it, for sure! Similar to bingo, but this one is
called <b>Create your own challenge</b>. To use it, you have to use each column, and use how many the header says out of each of them. Our
sponsor this week is <a href="http://fred-she-said.blogspot.com/" target="_blank">Fred She Said</a>, my first for working with these images and they are just too cute!<br />
<br />
First off, here's the chart:<br />

I decided to make Jordan, my 9 year old daughter, a card to send with her to camp in July. She became a bit homesick last year (although it is only for 5 days), so this year I want to send with her as many reminders as I can of just how special she. I chose to use Emma in the Strawberry Patch- she's so sweet and perfect for summer!<br />

<br />
Happy Friday to each of you! And wow- May 31st already. How time flies! Time to start a new challenge over at <a href="http://wagsnwhiskersrubberstamps.blogspot.com/" target="_blank">Wags n Whiskers</a> where one lucky random winner will win a Wags n Whiskers rubber stamp! The theme this fortnight is<b> Father's Day</b>! Something special for the special guys' special day.<br />
<br />
I chose to use Shoot the Puck, as hubby is such a huge fan of ice hockey... well, in addition to rugby and football that is lol! I'm not so hot with masculine cards. I honestly usually buy cards for the men in my life *gasp*, unless it fits into a challenge. I much prefer my girlie embellies, and that's about all I have on hand. So, this one is rather lacking in detail but most men like plain things anyway I think. I'm actually pretty happy with this masculine card :) I used an old sketch from somewhere, but I didn't pin it properly so I am unable to give credit where credit is due. I apologize- if anyone knows, please let me know and I'll update!<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
The colors I used on this card are from his favorite team's colors. Black papers are from My Mind's Eye, yellow-gold ones are from Core-dinations. Any guesses as to which team it is (it is a US team)? Just a tidbit, according to Wikipedia, they are the only state in the US to have the same colors for all their professional sports teams. I'll even make it fun! I'll leave this open for two weeks, and will use random drawing thingie to pick a winner out of the ones who guess correctly in the comments to win a smallish prize! How about a little extra Cheery Lynn die set I have? It is the <a href="http://www.cheerylynndesigns.com/lace-corner-deco-a/" target="_blank">Lace Corner Deco set A</a>, which includes three corner dies. <b>Please note, this is for my followers only!</b> But please do <b><u>not </u></b>become a follower, then leave. That would really make me sad, and believe me... I'm a hormonal roller coaster at the moment (not a bad thing lol). But, more on that at a later date... maybe. <br />

Yellow/gold: Y23/26/28<b> </b><br />
Black: 100/W2/3/5 <br />
Gray: C1/2<br />
<br />
So, that's all I have for today. I'm not including close-ups, as I think the picture is pretty self-explanatory. Thank you ever so kindly for stopping by and wishing you a wonderful weekend!<br />

<br />
I hope everyone has had a wonderful long weekend with lots of summer sunshine! Here in beautiful Colorado, we've had plenty. Dare I say, it's been hot!<br />
<br />
<br />
Since it's Tuesday already, we have an awesomely cool challenge starting at <a href="http://creativecardcrew.blogspot.com/" target="_blank">Creative Card Crew</a>! The next best thing to anything goes... the theme is <b>dies and/or punches</b>. How easy is that! I hope we have a wonderful turn out so I can see everyone's gorgeous creations! For this challenge, we are being sponsored by <a href="http://deliciousdoodles.blogspot.co.uk/" target="_blank">Delicious Doodles</a>, who I just love. Teri has something for everyone from Goth, Steampunk, Floral, Fantasy and on and on. Such great images. I've had a few that I have been wanting to color for quite some time and had such a hard time choosing which one to use! I finally settled on <a href="http://deliciousdoodles.blogspot.co.uk/2013/03/fan-tasia.html" target="_blank">Fan-tasia</a>, who is absolutely stunning in my opinion.<br />

I'm not sure who the dotted paper is by as it came in a kit. The gray is by Bazzill, and the <a href="http://papertemptress.com/product.php?product=353" target="_blank">pastel green glimmer paper</a> is from The Paper Temptress as is the <a href="http://papertemptress.com/product.php?product=670" target="_blank">gold matting</a> behind the image. The gold foil is from DCWV. The mesh ribbon I picked up from Hobby Lobby. The lace with rhinestones is from <a href="http://www.liveandlovecrafts.com/lace-ribbon-string-/653-lace-greta-garbo.html" target="_blank">Live and Love Crafts</a>. Dies used are all by Cheery Lynn: <a href="http://www.cheerylynndesigns.com/rum-punch-doily-with-angel-wing/" target="_blank">Rum Punch Doily</a>, <a href="http://www.cheerylynndesigns.com/rum-punch-tiny-doily/" target="_blank">Rum Punch Tiny Doily</a>, <a href="http://www.cheerylynndesigns.com/dream-catchers-2/" target="_blank">Dream Catcher #2</a>, and the circle inset from <a href="http://www.cheerylynndesigns.com/sentiment-frame-1/" target="_blank">Sentiment Frames set #1</a>. <br />

<br />
It's Friday come 'round again! Sadly, this week has really flown by and hubby is leaving tomorrow to go back to Denmark for another 6 weeks or so. It's been nice having him home and he will be missed once again.<br />
<br />
Enough of my depressing drabble. How about a fun new challenge starting over at <a href="http://stampinfortheweekend.blogspot.com/" target="_blank">Stampin' for the Weekend</a>? The theme this fortnight is monochromatic, and we are being sponsored by the ever fabulous <a href="http://saturated-canary.myshopify.com/" target="_blank">Saturated Canary</a>! Grab your shades of one color, and jump on in! This is once again a new technique for me and I had a great time with it but boy is it hard sticking to one color scheme.<br />
<br />

As you can see, I've snuck some green into my shades of red :) But I think I managed pretty well- even colored her hair a reddish color, whoot! Papers are from My Mind's Eye, roses from <a href="https://www.wildorchidcrafts.com/us/" target="_blank">Wild Orchid Crafts</a> and stick pins by The Hobby House that I picked up from <a href="http://www.ribbongirl.co.uk/catalog/heart-wheel-elegant-p-1006.html" target="_blank">The Ribbon Girl</a>. The lace is by The Paper Studio.<br />

<br />
There's a new challenge over at <a href="http://lovetocreatechallenge.blogspot.com/" target="_blank">Love to Create</a> that has started today which I am so thrilled to be a GDT for! They are a weekly challenge with great themes and fantastic sponsors. I do hope you will join in the fun. This week's theme is <b>Something for the Kids</b> and the two fabulous sponsors this week are <a href="http://www.disdigistamps.com/" target="_blank">Di's Digi Stamps</a> who is offering a $10 gift certificate and <a href="http://www.shop.2cuteink.com/" target="_blank">2 Cute Ink</a> who is offering a prize of three digi stamps.<br />
<br />
For my GDT card, I chose to use <a href="http://www.shop.2cuteink.com/Kitty-Paint-Brush-Digital-Stamp-053.htm" target="_blank">Kitty Paint Brush</a>. Such a sweet image, perfect for my little two year old to give to her buddy who is also turning two in a few weeks.<br />

<br />
Since it is for a little toddler, I wanted to keep things plain and colorful. The polka dot paper is by DCWV and I used a basic yellow card stock for matting the image and sentiment. Two sets of matching brads, and I called it done.<br />
<br />
Thank you so much for stopping by today! Wishing you a fantastic week ahead!<br />

Hi everyone!<br />
<br />
It's Sunday, which means a fantastic new challenge over at <a href="http://avenue613.blogspot.com/" target="_blank">613 Avenue Create</a>. As always, the challenge is anything goes with an optional theme. This week, the optional theme is a sketch challenge designed by our wonderful Kathi. Our sponsor this week is Bugaboo, who is offering a prize of seven digis to one lucky random winner.<br />
<br />

Papers are from My Mind's Eye. I used Reverse Wonky Rectangles for the image panels. The image panel jumped out of the die while I was embossing it, so the embossing is offset, but I thought it looked pretty neat so I kept it. The tag was cut out using <a href="http://www.cheerylynndesigns.com/sentiment-frame-1/" target="_blank">Cheery Lynn's Sentiment Frames set 1</a>. I used Perfect Pearls Mist (in color perfect pearls) on the panel behind the image. I've also added Glossy Accents to the balloon and eyeglasses.<br />
<br />
Of course, the sentiment is what makes this so hilarious! I put the sentiment on the inside, so here is a picture of the inside.<br />
