I'm back!!!

Hello everyone,

I have been missing for so long!! My Mom actually phoned me today, and asked when I was going to post, so I thought I better get one up. I do have a few cards to share and hopefully you will get to see them all in the next couple of weeks.

This first card I gave to my Mom for Mother's Day. And the second card I made for her for her birthday in May. If you need any details on either of these cards please email me.

Have a great week!

Quick post again!

Hello girls!
Sorry that i've been MIA so long again. I have tons of stuff going on right now!!
Here's a fun card that I made in March....that I almost forgot to post. The image I bought at Funky Kits and is a Leanne Ellis design. I did the coloring with prismacolor pencils and a bit of copics.
In other news.....we bought a couch and loveseat last weekend! They are leather, and recline on both sides of both pieces. I have hardly seen my husband get off the couch since we bought it! We also bought a 46 inch TV and a beautiful tv stand. Now if I could just get my hubby to finish the windows in the living room.....then that room would be finished!!

Well, now I am off to bed...gotta get up in 6 hours!!
Have a great week!!

Happy Easter

I was hoping to post this card when visiting my Mom & Dad this weekend...but with all the Easter meals we got way too busy! I did get to color some images with Mom last week...and we had a great supper on Saturday...and for the meal....I made the perogies. This was the first time I made perogies myself...usually I just cook them for Mom cause all of mine break! But they turned out good...and I think everyone liked them!
Then on Sunday we had brunch at my in-laws house....and that was great too! We had a wonderful time and some great breakfast food....including cream cheese french toast and cinnamon pull aparts. I was in heaven!!

I just got home and still have to finish unpacking...but I didn't want to unpack till I got this card posted.

This is one more of the cute High Hopes images that were released a couple of months ago. If you have any other questions about this card....I would be very glad to help you out!

I'm off to unpack and then bed...

Have a great day!!

You make me smile

This card was supposed to be for the High Hopes challenge last week. The challenge was creative borders. I got the card finished in time, but didn't get a chance to take a picture of it and get it uploaded.

I don't have a list of the supplies that I used for this card...I kind of just did it on the run!! The brad in the right hand corner is from SU's build a brad kit. It was so easy to use....I will be using it way more often now!!

I am so lucky right now...cause I am posting this from my Mom's house and we had a stamp-a-thon last night. I now have tons of images to color...and we will be doing that later on today and tomorrow!!

Have a great day!

I got cards......

I am so lucky!! I have recieved a couple of amazing cards this last couple of weeks, and would love to share them with you!!

This first card is from Kristine Breach at Ink Something. Kristine befriended me when I started blogging, and I treasure our friendship every day! Make sure you go and take a look at her blog...because her creations are AMAZING!!
This second card is from my sister Crystal. Crystal came to visit me last weekend and we traveled to Minot to buy some new supplies. We left JoAnn's Fabrics with tons of new paper and lots of stuff from Hobby Lobby too! I'm so glad that she had a good time! To thank me for taking her, she gave me this beautiful card! Unfortunately Crystal doesn't have a blog....but I think she should start one cause her cards are great!!

I can't believe I've already posted twice in one week. And I think I may have another post or 2 in me yet!! **wish I was on holidays all the time**

Have a great day! And thanks for all your wonderful comments!

Biking boy and holidays....

Hello everyone,
I have a new card to show you using one of my favorite images. I very good friend of mine (you know who you are...just wanted to say thanks so much!!), gave me this stamp as a gift, and I made this card a while ago, but just haven't had a chance to post it.

I hope that posting this card means that spring is really on the way! We still have quite a bit of snow here yet, so until the snow is gone...to me it still feels like winter!!
Stamps: Hanglar, HOTP matching borders & focals
Inks: Memento black, copic markers, prismacolor pencils and OMS, white gel pen
Paper: bazill cs, georgia pacific cs, MME Out & About
Accessories: prima flowers, glitter brad, may arts ribbon

For the rest of the week I am hoping to color some images with my Mom. I'm on holidays right now, and don't go back to work until next Monday. I'm heading home on Wednesday morning...and I can't wait. We just don't get to spend enough time together anymore!!
My husband and I just gave both of our dogs a bath...so they smell good when we go home, and we are going to be busy packing tomorrow to leave.

I have been so bad at looking at blogs these last few weeks. I'm sorry if I haven't gotten to your blog. I am taking a peek...but sometimes it just takes so long to comment....I'm hope you understand. I will try to get better again when I get back from Melville. I am hoping to get another post up before I leave, cause I've got another easter card almost done.

In case I don't get my card posted, I wish everyone a very happy easter. And I hope that you get together with family this weekend!!
Take care!!

Hoppy Easter!

I made this card for the High Hopes challenge this week. The challenge was to use buttons, and as you can see...I did!!
Details for this card are,
Stamps: High Hopes Bunny Blooms
Inks: Memento black, SU groovy guava and close to cocoa, copic markers, prismacolor pencils and OMS
Paper: Georgia pacific cs, Co-ordinations cs, My minds eye dp
Accessories: Prima flowers, may arts ribbon, flower from dollarama, buttons
The sentiment was made using my label maker, and the scallops under the bunny are made with SU's scalloped punch. Diamond glaze was used on the flowers to make them sparkley, and I used my white gell pen for some added effect on the image.

Thanks for looking, and have a great week!!

Birthday card for Kristine

Now that Kristine has received this card in the mail, I can show it to you!! I am so glad to hear that she liked it!!

Stamp is from Whipper Snapper (aren't they wonderful stamps), colored with copics and prismacolor pencils and OMS. The sentiment is from Hero Arts Bird-day designs clear set. Paper is from my stash, and as I am sure you noticed already, I did alot of stitching around the image and dp, and also used some star brads from my stash.

Well, I am off to bed, cause work is going to come too early in the morning. I just got some amazing images in the mail....gorjuss girls and a couple of Leanne Ellis stamps from Sugar Nellie and the Whiff of Joy spring kit from Whiff of Joy. I can't wait to have time to work with these amazing images. Hopefully you will see something soon!!

Card from a friend

Look what I received in the mail last week. An amazing card from my wonderful friend Kristine!!
I met Kristine a couple of years ago, when I first started blogging, and she has been a wonderful friend ever since. I am so lucky to have her in my life, first of all, because she is an absolutely amazing person, and second, because occasionally I get a card from her....which are ALL amazing and I will keep forever!!
Please go and check out Kristine's blog..."Ink Something". I am so proud of Kristine, because she has recently become a designer for 2 different stamp companies and is now branching out and selling her cards on Etsy. She is just amazing!!

I have a couple of cards to post for you this week...can you believe it??? I will be back soon....promise!!

Have a wonderful day!

Cherish

Good morning girls,
I am so excited to finally have a card ready to show you!!
I had alot of trouble taking pictures of this card for some reason though, and if you look closely, the background should actually be white, I'm pretty sure that it's my fault that it looks that way because I don't know how to adjust my new camera yet.

The stamp is from Sarah Kay, and I picked it up at Sweet 'n Sassy Stamps.
She is colored with copics and prisma's (my new favorite mediums)!! Paper is from Imagine that (walmart) and dp is DCWV retro prints matstack.
Well, I'm off to work again. Hopefully in another month, I won't always have to put in extra time!!
Have a great week everyone, thanks for all your wonderful comments and not forgetting me!!
