And...another two

Hello!

I don't know what's gotten into me, but whatever it is, I love it!  I've been crafting like crazy!  And having so much fun.  Here's are a few more cards for you to see  :)

Card #1:

I actually made this one a few weeks ago but forgot to post it.  I stamped it with my Momento Luxe inks - seriously, I love that ink - and also some new Savvy stamps I got in my last order.  I honestly thought my wood block / rubber stamp days were pretty much over.  I'm definitely a clear stamp kind of girl.  But when I saw these stamps, I couldn't resist - just thought they were so pretty, and so versatile!  The sentiment is PS, and I added a little Studio Calico wood veneer heart under the bow.

Card # 2:

I made this for the Case This Sketch Challenge #58.  Here's the sketch it was based on:


I promised myself that I would start playing along with challenges again in the new year, but I'm happy to say that I've jumped the gun a bit.  I've already done some for this week's PS Sparks challenge (it's an Anything Goes!), and now CTS!  I used in image from my new Mama Elephant baby-themed set for this one.  Love that little teddy!  I dressed her up with a little Lawn Fawn heart, and a little bow on her head from PS Woofers and Tweeters.  The sentiment is also PS from Sentiment Sampler.

Hoping to spend even more time playing this week.  All of my Christmas shopping is pretty much done and aside from some baking and cooking (oh, and cleaning too :( ) that needs to be done, I should have a little extra time to sneak into my card room :)

Until next time, thank you for coming by!

  2. Squeal...that little teddy is sooo darling! You've coloured her beautifully and dressed her with flair. The wee heart and bow tooooooooo sweet! I'm calling winner on this perfect baby card! Your card of blooms: gorgeous!! One look at this is guaranteed to lift spirits, brighten a day and invite a huge, ear-to-ear smile! Well chosen purchase, my friend - pretty, versatile and in your hands, they've found a great home!! Memento luxe - making a note to add at least one colour to my order (wish they came in the multiples of mini packs!). I"m dithering over inks now: Memento dew drop sets or Hero Arts bubes (which I have - four colours - and they stain my stamps...eek!). Oh well, not like I need to decide today (but I want to!!). Your 'another two' dazzlers and delighters have made my day!! Off to work on the Care Bear card and one for my mom (talk about being behind the 8 ball!! Hope you're having an exceptional Sunday, that does not include cleaning. Chores are on my agenda for tomorrow, or maybe Tuesday morning, or....! Hugs~c

  8. Gorgeous florals!! That ink gives great coverage and I love your mass of open flowers. And what can I say about that little bear - she's darling! And I think you have done just right by her by making her the star of the card! Have a very Merry Christmas!! (And I hope you can find some time to do a little crafting!)
