Happy Friday! I actually got 2 cards made tonight, so YAY!! This first is one I have been wanting to do. I LOVE this butterfly, and have never done it in blue, so that was the plan...mission accomplished!

This is done using the Papertake Weekly sketch. I thought it was such a neat sketch, and I know I will use it again!

Along with the sketch, there are several other Challenges it qualifies for as well.

Paper Sundaes - Distressing

The Corrosive Challenge - Wings

Flutter By Wednesday - Wings

Belli Challenge - Butterflies or Dragonflies

I hope you all like this semi-monochromatic card as I really enjoyed making it!

The second card I made was one done for the Pink Elephant sketch. I used an adorable Digi Stamp by Dustin Pike...isn't he just too cute? Again, this card also falls into a few of the weekly challenges.

I Love Digi - A digi and Pink

Twisted Thursdays - Birthday card and use Pink

Cute Card Thursday - Ribbon

Charisma Cards - Birthday Card with a Candle

My niece has a birthday soon, so this will be perfect for her. Have a FABBY weekend, and I will see you tomorrow with something new! Thanks for stopping by!

Sweet Tilda

I know it seems as though I have been away forever...it sure feels like it! I hope to get back into the groove of things. It was a toughie when Mom passed, but life and crafting MUST go on. My dear friend, Cindy, has been trying to get me inspired and get the Mojo flowing again, and it is working! Bless your heart, Kiddo!!

This card is one I made for the Just Magnolia Challenge this week, which was the sketch and Stamp Something which was to create something Springy...I think this looks like Spring. Lastly would be Totally Gorjuss which was to use flowers...think I have a few of those...LOL!

This was FUN and I got to play with my flowers and pearls. And of course, my beloved watercolors...LOL! Thanks so much for stopping by, and have a great tomorrow!

Hedgie Love

Are these just the cutest little Hedgehogs? They are a digi stamp available at Karen's Doodles. She has some ADORABLE digis just waiting to be made into cards!!
This card is made using various challenges for this week. They include:







Tuesday Morning Sketchs - sketch
Crafty Cardmakers - Hearts and Romance
Chrisma Cards - I Love You
Papertake Weekly - Love Actually
ABC Challenge - N is for NEW
The Pink Elephant - All About Pink
By The Cute And Girly - LOVE

This was so much fun to make. I used chalks to color the hedgies, watercolors for the grass and blue "sky", and markers for the flowers and hearts. I also put a little glitter on the hearts...gotta have some BLING! Finished them off with some wide ribbon and Primas.
Hope you all enjoy!
Have a FABBY FRIDAY! Thanks for stopping by!

Cute Little Valentine

Isn't this the cutest little image? I got it at The Greeting Farm...it is a digi-stamp! I only have a couple of the adorable Anyas, so when I saw this one available as a digi, I jumped on it! And it makes a darn cute Valentine, too!

This card works for a couple of challenges, as well as being cute! The first is the Stamping 411 Challenge which was to use the sketch. Next was one of my Fave challenge spots- Dare U 2 Digi Stamp. Their challenge was to make a valentine and/or use hearts....think I got that one...LOL! And lastly, also to use hearts was the challenge at Fussy and Fancy Friday Challenge.

These little cuties will go out for a Valentine swap I am in...hope they like them! Have a FABBY week! Thanks so much for stopping by~

Getting Owly....

YAY, I made some cards today! Hopefully, I am getting out of my funk. This little guy was made using the Mojo Monday Sketch. It was a fun one to play with, and I will probably use it again. The stamp is from Clear Dollar Stamps, What a Hoot, and is one of my FABORITE sets. This card also qualifies for a few other Challenges this week, too. The ABC Challenge which was to use Masking, the Fussy And Fancy Challenge which was to use hearts, and the Pink Elephant Challenge which was to use Pink, polka dots and a bow.

Well, it is getting late, so I am headed to bed. Have a WONDERFUL Sunday, everyone! Thanks for stopping by!

Back to Posting...

My last post was HAPPY NEW YEAR!....well, so far, not for me. I lost my beloved Mother on Jan. 14th. She was hospitalized on Jan. 5th and never came home. As many know, she has been suffering for over 4 years with severe emphezema. She has now gone home into the arms of God, and no longer fights for her next breath. I miss her horribly-that is the selfish me, but the daughter who loves her is happy she no longer has to suffer here on earth.

This card was made as a special Thank You for some friends who showed so much love and compassion in the past few weeks.

I hope to get some more made this week, and will share here on my blog. Thanks so much for stopping by...

Hugs,

Julie

HAPPY NEW YEAR!

I hope you all had a WONDERFUL New Year's Eve! I just stayed home and stayed safe....went to dinner and that was about it...LOL!

I apologize for no creativity over the past month! I thought I would get TONS accomplished over Christmas Vaca from school, but OY was I wrong! I had a bit of a spill off a chair FLAT on my tailbone, and haven't done much of anything since! Making Christmas dinner was VERY interesting, to say the least! I know this sounds bad, but if it weren't for Darvocet, I would NEVER have made it thru the past couple of weeks. I dunno what it will be like tomorrow when I go back to work, but it will be a challenge, I am SURE!

ANYHOW.... This card was made a couple nights ago. My dear friend, Cindy, in an effort to get me creating, put out a challenge to me....pick a challenge off Daily Dare, and DO IT! She did it too...check out her blog! I chose the sketch at Papertake Weekly. I used a new stamp from All That Scraps named Sweet Nikki. She is colored with Prisma Watercolor Pencils, and then lightly blended with an AquaBrush. I used PP from my Basic Grey Lemonade Pack. I just love this paper, and have been hoarding it...hehehehe. Finished her off with a SU sentiment and some pink bling. It felt great to make something....

I hope you all have a WONDERFUL week...I hope to see you again SOON! Thanks for stopping by!
