Hello all!

It’s a new day, and I’ve got a new card for you. I have a giveaway, too!

First, meet today’s card.

Hard to tell but there is a sprinkling of glitter on the flower. I also added a line of it on the blue patterned paper.

The patterned papers are from the Winter’s Wings and Home for the Holidays collections by  Webster’s Pages. The letter stickers are oldies but still goodies from  American Crafts. The flower is from Prima and the gems are from Kaisercraft.

And how about a giveway?

Dum. Dum. Dummmmmm.

I’ve got an assortment of goodies for you.

Should you win this package you’ll get the December 2009 issue of Creating Keepsakes, the Holiday Cards & More 2 special issue from Paper Crafts, some Elle’s Studio stuff, SEI letter stickers and a couple other small things.

Leave a comment by 6 p.m. EST on Nov. 22nd (Sunday) if you are interested. I’ll pick a winner after the deadline passes. Because of the bulk of sending this stuff, I’ve got to limit this one to comments from the USA.  Sorry to my International friends.

A word of warning to those who leave comments. Comments sometimes do not appear right away here. It’s a WordPress thing, where I’ll have to approve them. Never fear. I will make them appear.

That is all I have for now. I’ll be back later.

Thanks for stopping by.

Hello all!

I’ve got one card for you today.

Meet today’s card.

I made this one because I was inspired by Cath’s Plum Crazy challenge on the Moxie Fab World blog.

The houndstooth circles were stamped with a $1 stamp from M’s. The words are from the Ali Edwards’ Loving Words clear stamp set from Technique Tuesday.

The big, sloppy silver circles are my own handiwork. They were made with paint.

Can’t think of anything else to say so that’s all for now.

I’ll be back later.

Thanks for stopping by!

Hello all!

Meet today’s card.

This one came about mostly because I wanted to play around with a Timeless Touches stamp set I’ve been hoarding.  What’s cool about Timeless Touches’ stamp sets is they come with clear stamps and piercing templates so you can poke holes and stitch your stamped image.

Just for kicks, here’s what the sentiment I used looks stamped without stitching.

Here’s a close up of it after I used the piercing template and stitched on the leaves.

I think it’s a cool concept. I personally haven’t seen anything like them before.

Besides the Timeless Touches products, I used papers from American Crafts on this card. The gems are from Zva Creative and the ribbon is from Papertrey Ink.

That is all I have for now. I’ll be back later.

Thanks for stopping by.

Hello all!

Things have been super busy for a few days so I thought I’d just share a recent published card.

Meet today’s card.

This Mr. Owl card of mine appears in the Nov./Dec. issue of Paper Crafts.

I don’t share too many of my published cards online, but this is one of those ones that I like especially. When I send away a card for publication, I usually file it in my mind and forget about it. When I was looking through the magazine and saw him, I thought, “Wow, I can’t believe I made that. I kind of like him.”

The design is all mine. You can get the pattern by clicking here on the Paper Crafts web site. Scroll down to the bottom and woolah. There is it.

That’s all I have for now. I’ll be back later.

Thanks for stopping by.

Hello all!

I can’t believe it is November already. How this year has flown by!

I’ve got one card for you today. I invite you to take a peek.

The butterfly and sentiment are from Papertrey Ink’s Little Lady clear stamp set. It’s one of Papertrey’s early sets, but it’s new to me. The True Black Gingham ribbon and Vintage Cream cardstock are also from them.

The gems are from Kaisercraft. The patterned paper (hee hee) is some of that Jenni Bowlin paper I am still trying to use each and every bit of.  I love it so.

So besides the card, I want to a minute to alert you a new call for submissions for the May/June 2010 issue from Paper Crafts magazine. Check out this link to see what the editors are looking for. The deadline is Nov. 9th.

Please consider taking a chance and submit a project or two. You never know. It might get published. Even if you have never submitted, it’s worth a shot.

Well, that’s all I have for now. I’ll be back later.

Thanks for stopping by! And a big thanks for all the nice comments left lately.  They always brighten my day.

Howdy all!

Meet today’s card.

It’s one of those “messing around ’cause I feel like it” cards.

I was  stoked to discover that the gems matched up good with the paper’s colors. I just sort of ran with the card’s design from there.

The paper is from American Crafts’ Moda Bella collection (again).  The letters are from Heidi Swapp. The gems are from Zva Creative.

Well, that’s all for now. I’ll be back later.

PS…  Almost forgot. Since I know there are some Papertrey Ink fans who check out my blog, I want to let you know I’ve got a post today on the Paper Crafts Connection blog with some quick Halloween treats. You might recognize some of the Halloween stamps used on a couple of them. Happy Wednesday!

Hello!

Meet today’s card.

This little ditty for someone important to me who has a big (really big) birthday coming up.

The paper is from the Moda Bella collection by American Crafts. The gems are from Zva Creative. The sentiment is a stamp from Papertrey Ink’s Butterfly Kisses clear stamp set.

That is all for now. I’ll be back later.

Thanks for stopping by.

Hello!

Meet today’s card

It was inspired by Kim’s Tuesday Trigger over on Moxie Fab World. It’s a pretty loose interpretation, but the post just reminded me what a happy color yellow is. It cheers me up. And I could use a little happy here. The last few days here have been awfully gray with not a lot of sunshine.

The papers here are from the Moda Bella collection from American Crafts. The word is a rub-on from Melissa Frances. And all those gems are from Zva Creative.

Well, that’s all for now. I’ll be back later.

Thanks for stopping by. Hope you are having a lovely day.

Howdy friends!

Meet today’s card.

The patterned paper might look familiar to some of you. It was used on the card American Crafts created for the World Card Making Day classes taught by Paper Crafts. Click here and you can see what their card looked like.

Besides the AC patterned paper, I used one of Ali Edwards’ stamp sets from Technique Tuesday on my card. Still loving the set.

That is all for now. I’ll be back tomorrow with a new card.

Thanks for stopping by.

Another day. Another card. Another short and sweet post.

So let’s get on with it. Meet today’s card.

The papers are from Jenni Bowlin. I recently scored a sheet of the beautiful red paper with the flowers. It’s one of those papers that just makes me happy so I am determined to squeeze as many cards as I can get out of it. (Translation: Be afraid, dear blog visitors, because you will be seeing it again. If you could only hear my evil laugh. )

The  sentiment is from Ali Edwards’ Favorite Memories clear stamp set from Technique Tuesday. The flowers are from Technique Tuesday’s Growing Wild clear stamp set. The Growing Wild set is one of my favorite TT sets ever. Can’t go wrong with flowers.

That’s all I have for today. I’ll be back over the weekend!

Thanks for stopping by.
