A Rainbow of Thanks...

Hi Ya!

So how did the first day of the New Year treat you?  I am feeling much better, so I worked on cleaning up, catching up, and doing a ton of laundry after our guest left.  We also went ahead and took down our outside decorations since it was a warm 57 degrees today!  I even sorted through some things for Goodwill.  So, I treated myself to a little crafty time tonight.

I have a card today inspired by the latest Paper Smooches Sparks Challenge.

The inspiration photo was so fun that I had to play along. 

I inked up Thanks from my NEW Paper Smooches Sentiment Sampler and cut the sleighs with my Cricut Winter Woodland Cartridge. 

The cards entirety was created using scraps so I am playing along with Pixie's Crafty Snippet Challenge 1.  She is taking over for Jules this year.

I am also playing along with Wee Memories Challenge "New". I played with my new stamps from Paper Smooches!

Have a wonderful week!

Happy Monday!

Jazzy Papers has a fun sketch challenge. I wanted to try and stick close to the colors of the album as possible.

Here is my take!

I have been inspired by the ruffles we see everywhere as of late, so I decided to incorporate it with my designer paper and I took my scallops and I curled my layers with an end of a paint brush to give them a little bit of a curl. 

I will also enter this in The Wee Memories Challenge where you can incorporate anything Stamped into your project.

Thanks for taking a peek!

Warm aloha~

Fun & Cute Aloha Style

Aloha!

It's Summer and I can't help, but keep playing with all my crafty beachy toys!  

For the Moxie Fab Card Style Week Fun & Cute I went with Fun & Cute Aloha Style! I am just loving that cute pink little inner tube and what about that surf board? That isn't one my hubby would be caught surfing on! :-)  

I will also enter this for my second entry for Wee Memories which is also a Summer Fun Challenge.

Warm Aloha everyone!

Wee Memories ~ Summer Fun

Summer Fun! Awww....we all look forward to putting our toes in the sand and soaking up the sun! I couldn't pass this challenge up over at Wee Memories. Not only do I love to create fun beach cards, but there is a wonderful sponsor for this challenge this week....Lawn Fawn. Another fabulous company I have a long wish list for, so I am really hoping (along with my hubby hee hee} that I might win the challenge this week, so my wish list doesn't keep hurting his wallet!!! 

Warm Aloha and may you be finding some summer fun!

Wee Memories Challenge #13, Free For All

Jenny's challenge at Wee Memories was a Free for all, so we could do what we like.

It really was nice for me because I needed to make some thank you notes for my son as he received a box full of Toy Story gifts from my best friend in Florida and her little girl over the weekend. My son loves Toy Story so he was in Heaven! The other card is for his grandparents who have been great about sending him books. My son loves to check the mailbox to see if he has mail with his name on it, so my father-in-law will send a padded envelope every so often with a book in it so my son will have something to open!

Since I don't have any Toy Story Stamps the next best thing for me to do was to make a card with a Robot on it because my son likes to go around the house and say "I AM A ROBOT".  I just think these little guys are cute. I have been short on time, so I made both these cards from my scrap box and both of them very quickly. I have  A LOT of scraps to use up. :-)

This weekend was a busy one and the week ahead will be the same, so I am combing three challenges in one card so I can get the submissions in. J

The first challenge I will talk about is a new one for me called Everything But the Kitchen Sink (EBTKS) sketch Challenge #17.  I saw the Sketch and I knew this would be a fun one to play along with.

Next Challenge is Kim’s Off The Wall Craftiness Challenge #12 using the colors, mint green, black, and/or white, and red if we wanted. Here is her inspiration photo. I love her photo collages she chooses each week! J

The third Challenge is Jenny’s Wee Memories “Let’s Get Sticky”

Our challenge was to incorporate stickers, of any kind, into the project i.e. Vinyl stickers, Rub-ons, Rhinestone and/or pearl stickers, diecut stickers, etc. Anything with a sticky back! So my lovely and beautiful Red Rhinestones by EK Success covered that option. There is even one added on the flower on the purse. SAWEET! J

Note: The light is bouncing off the ribbon, so it’s not showing up, and I have tried multiple times, but there is nothing I can do to get this photographed with my current settings and equipment. On the Real Red strip of card stock I have white satin ribbon going down the side then I have layered mint green 1/8 mini dot ribbon.

Thanks for stopping by and thanks to all the sponsors! Have a good week!

Wee Memories Punch it Challenge #9

Through the very talented Kim Wilson I have learned about another challenge and yet another fun blog called Wee Memories! This challenge was to break out our punches and incorporate those into our cards! Well, I just love punches and my hubby can testify to that as it becomes a storage issue for me because I just love them and I have many! So needless to say I could not pass up an opportunity to play with my punches! {Wink}

I used a total of 8 on this fun little number.

1) Giga Scallop Circle

2) Mega Circle

3) Key Tag punch for the popsicle with the scallop circle used for the "bite"

4) Word Window punch for the stick

5) Scallop circle punch

6) 1 3/8 circle punch

7) Tag corner punch

8) Martha Stewart Doily Lace border punch

Thanks for looking! Have a great day!
