Wilson Designs: Gnomebody Like You

Hey there....


For tonight, here are a few more cards using the March release from Wilson Designs.  But I was wondering if you have been noticing a trend lately when shopping or in the catalogs?  Now even in the movies? Well, look on...
First up is an all too cute little"Gnomegirl" card! 

Isn't she cute?  Perfect to give to a girlfriend.  The circular background has been subtlety stamped randomly in the various sentiments that come with the set. 

Next up is an equally adorable paper pieced "gnomeboy" card. See the strip to the left with the leaves, acorns and flower?, That's NOT pattern paper, but stamps from this oh so very cute stamp release! My sentiment is popped up for dimension and statement! 

So let's say hello to the newest release from Wilson Designs Gnomebody Like You available for immediate purchase and retailing for $12.99.

Don't forget to leave a comment on my blog as well as the other design team blogs for your chance to win this fabulous new set.  We never know where the winner will be drawn from. As always, I love hearing from you and I appreciate you visiting so much! Check out my very talented teammates!

Off The Wall Craftiness 48

Hi There!


{I'm back with my second post of the day! Please click here for my Fascinating Fridays Spotlight Post.}


The photos and colors that Kim chose for the Off The Wall Craftiness inspiration this week are so unbelievably cool! If I was not about to embark on the second part of my move I could have played with these colors all day! I can only imagine if I had all my crafty tools with me.

We have an awesome sponsor this week and the OTWC Design Team was sent some wonderful Donna Downey Unity Stamps to create with. 

Here is a close up of the sentiment!

Adding some seam binding from MemrieMare, twine, and a cute

tag with this beautiful sentiment for some decorative touches.

If you look below the Top Note Die (Thank you Laurel)

I have used two heart doilies which were picked up

at a local party supply store. (Thank you Mom). I can't forget

I also HAD to use my fun new butterfly punch which just seemed

perfect for this card. (Thanks Amy for being an enabler)

Here is the stamp set used.

Honored to be Featured on Fascinating Fridays TODAY!

Hello sweet blog friends! 


I am quite honored to be featured by Noor at the Fond of Crafts blog today! 
Noor contacted me to ask if I would like to be featured on her Fascinating Fridays spot. I was honored of course, and said yes!  Noor describes herself as a Dubai-based, dietetics graduate who is obsessed with cardmaking. Noor seeks many crafters with a variety of talents to feature. Once again, I am honored to be featured on Fascinating Fridays!  


Please hop on over and check out my piece HERE on Noor's blog.  Thank you Noor for this honor!


Speaking of Fascinating, I thought I would share with you a beautiful sight as I stepped out the front door of my Florida home....a Bald Eagle! A rare and fascinating sight. Just as I went back in for my camera, it was run off by some nasty ol' turkey buzzards, but I managed to get a few quick shots.

Not many of these beauties around!

Squawking back at the buzzards

Let Freedom Ring!

I hope you have a Fascinating Friday!

The Play Date Cafe 71 Color Splash

Howdy!


The Challenge for the week at The Play Date Cafe is one of my favorites. It's 'Color Splash' time!  The color splash challenge is Black, White, with a splash of ONE color of the CRAFTER'S choice. How fun is that!

How cool is this picture?

The Stamps I used are from the new release of Wilson Designs Spring Silhouettes! My Designer Paper is  by Chatter Box, and I added some seam binding from thisgoodday etsy shop. My red ric rac is actually recycled from a package at Christmas! Got to love that! 

This card is also playing along with: Woodware USA: Anything Goes

I also wanted to say that I was spotted to be a featured stamper on Fascinating Friday's, so check back tomorrow for the details! I would love it if you popped over. For any crafter it's an honor!

I hope you have a Splash-olicious Day!

DeNami Designs Color Challenge Meets Sketchy Sunday

Good Saturday Morning to you!


Sooooo, I needed a birthday card for an adorable little boy for friends of ours back in Hawaii, so I thought I would combine a twofer and create one adorable little card! J

First of all, I just Love this little guy! He is so fun and CAUTE! (that actually goes for the boy and the elephant stamp {wink})

I am playing along with the DeNami Designs Color Challenge #6 and Sketchy Sunday {TG008}.

The Stamps I used are DeNami Designs N136 Medium Polka Dots, I54 Medium Double Circle, G152 Elephant, TR16 Happy Birthday from the All Occasion Sentiment Stamp Set.

I added some twine at the top with a button! The twine graduates in color from white to lime green! So fun! 

That's it for me! I hope the little guy likes it, but if he is anything like most boys, they want the package!! J  Oh well!  

Chick n Lil's Photo-Inspired Card Challenge

Hi Ya!

{Hi everyone!.....I'm back with my second post of the day! Please click here for my Off The Wall Craftiness DT Post.}

A couple of my blog friends have posted cards with inspiration from an absolutely stunning beautiful inspiration photo, so I followed along to Chick n Lil's Photo-Inspired Card Challenge. 

Pam's daughter (Chick n Lil) took this beautiful photograph and the challenge was to use it for inspiration.  My card above was my interpretation. Since I don't have all my stamps at my Mom's, I don't have a variety of images to play with, but I happened to recently purchase this stamp so it was a smart purchase already! (ha)  Also, thank you Laurel for my die cut ovals you sent because they came in handy! :-)

Talent sure does run in this family! All I can say is WOW!!!! Both Mother and Daughter! Go visit and grab a cup of Joe, you will like what you see! How I have not found Pam in blogland before now, I do not know.

I am also playing along with Tuesday Throwdown #37 - 3-D

I hope you have a wonderful day! It's finally Friday!

PS: I know the photo is not that great, but I took it at night!

Stamps: HeroArts: Etched Medallion, PTI: Mega Mixed Messages

Paper: Stampin' UP: Basic Black, Yellow: Given to me
