New Sketch LCOM

Hi again! Today I have a great sketch to share and the card I made to go along with it.

 So cute!! So here is my card that I made based on this sketch:

I used lots of different product to make this card. The base and cs was from Papertrey Ink, the big flower is Prima, the larger butterfly is Jenni Bowlin, the little guy is a Martha Stewart punch covered in antique linen stickles and then the sentiment is from PTI. Oh and the ribbon is from Michael's I believe. For the background I used a Hero Arts flourish stamp and embossed it with clear embossing powder and then went over it in peeled paint distress ink.

Here's a little close up of the detail:

I'm in the mood for some fun fresh color combos, ecspecially with Easter right around the corner. I hope you'll join us in this challenge this week at Let's Capture Our Memories!

Have a great day!! Thanks for stopping by!

Hi everybody!! I am finally back in the blogging crafty world!! I took a little break and I am so happy to be here again :) I have joined LCOM for another term on the Design Team..Yay!!

Today I have a new sketch for you and it's a fun one!

And here is my take:
 

I used PTI CS, and Autumn leaves flourish stamp with glossy accents. The flower is from Prima and the sentiment is also PTI.

I would love it if you would join us in the challenge this week, go here after you have completed your card using the above sketch and out in your link.

This is such a great way to get you started on those Christmas cards, so settle in by the fire, some hot chocolate, your supplies and use this great inspiration that the LCOM Card Team has cooked up for you!

Here is Sketch #5!

Here is my card:
I used the Jovial paper pad by Basic Grey for my background ( I love the reindeer's!!) To add to the fun, you'll get an extra point, if you use a "secret" element on your card that I have used. My friends may or may not have used this element on their card also. Have fun figuring out what it is!

New Sketch at Let's Capture Our Memories!!

Hello again! There is a new sketch up at the Let's Capture Our Memories blog...I love this sketch. It's a great one if you don't have a ton of time to create a card. I didn't this week, so I found this sketch to be super handy!! The twist for this sketch is to use the color purple, a button and flowers. Here is my card:
I used pink gemstones instead of the button, and the background paper is the Olivia line by Basic Grey. Love that collection. If you decide to participate in the LCOM Challenge, be sure to post it the Mr. Linky so we can see your work.
My sister had her baby this past weekend-they are both doing very well. He is so beautiful, I just adore him!! That's why I didn't have a whole lot of time to make my card!!

Thanks so much for stopping by today!!

Gift Holder Tutorial

Today I have a cute little gift holder tutorial for you. I wanted to get a jump on creating small, but thoughtful gifts for the upcoming holidays (without breaking the bank) so I came up with this little holder for packets of tea.
Really you could adjust the size of the holder to accommodate anything but I love these individual tea packets. Here is the finished holder:

To see the step-by-step process of how I made this go here to the Let's Capture Our Memories Forum. Enjoy!! :)

LCOM Challenge

Sketch Challenge-Use Leaves on your card!

To see the sketch go here. I used the Wreaths For All Seasons set from PTI. I used stickles for the leaves on my wreath.
If you use this sketch and leaves on your card, upload it the MR. Linky on the LCOM blog so we can leave you some love!! Have a great day :)

Deepest Sympathy

Hello again. Today I have a sympathy card to share. I used the new wreaths for all seasons stamp from PTI. I just love it! I needed to make a sympathy card and thought this was a perfect image to use.

Everything on the card is from PTI with the exception of the ribbon, that is from Micheal's a long time ago! Thank you so much for looking! I hope you are having a wonderful fall. I am getting excited for the arrival of my nephew-less than 2 weeks hopefully!!
Until next time have a great day :)
