Photo Inspiriation Challenge

I made this fun...shabby...vintage card for the

Sugar Creek Hollow challenge

 to use a photo for inspiration

I chose this Spring Wreath photo I had pinned on Pinterest

originally from  I Heart Naptime Blog

I had this frame stamp out for another project and the little bird "button" sitting on my desk....

punched the tiny banner from scraps, stamped Spring on it....

dug around for a few feathers....

hand cut the eggs...and covered one with baby blue stickles....

the hardest part was deciding which photo to let inspire me!!

Bookmark Card

Well.  I can hardly believe I haven't posted in a week....

I have been in a "panic" to get some things done before "outside" garden time...

I have a list "a mile long" it seems of things to do before Spring.....

one of those was to take all my glassware out of my glass display case in my bedroom

wash it all and put it back.....

it took me two days to get it all out and washed ...(I do seem to have a lot)

and then got the bright idea while the stuff was out to paint the bedroom....

it just got finished on Saturday...

now I have to put all the glassware back...

I have been collecting crystal pedestal bowls, as well as clear glass candy jars.....

its beautiful...but lots of work to keep it all shiny and clean!!

and thanks to "Pinterest"..I now have to make up my mind on how to redecorate the room......

I have pinned several different idea's.....but on to today's project

I did the challenge at Flourishes timeless Tuesday...

we were to make a corner bookmark.

a last minute entry...and one I am not in love with...

but it is prettier IRL...as I added some glitter to the purple flowers for sparkle...

the set I used is the brand new January release from Flourishes "Love Sweet Love"......

Coffee With Friends

I got up early this morning to an entire new screen on my computer...

did I ask for it???

heck, no...nor do I want it....

I couldn't find my mail....

nor my favorites.....

ugh...why do things have to change without you having any say....

I did manage to get a card done for the Flourishes Timeless Tuesday.....

the challenge is to make a card for someone you love and to use red....

much as I love Valentines...I am "Valentined" out so to speak....

so I made a card for a friend I love and miss....

I just purchased some new "Moda" fabric and made my shabby flower from a piece of that....

the stamp set I used is from Flourishes called "Coffee With A Friend"....

it has always been a favorite of mine...

Fairy Dust

I made this simple and cute card for my granddaughter Kendall's birthday...

I used this darling image "Pure Innocence" from "My Favorite Things"....

for some reason it just reminds me of her......

I think I need a few more of these stamps for other grandchildren.....

the wand, her waist, wings and shoes are all glittered...hard to see I know....

just  a quick post....as I have to now make her a "Barbie" cake...

which terrifies me it won't turn out...wish me luck!!

Butterflies & Leaves

Just a quickie post as I am heading off to bed....

Papertrey has  anew challenge to use butterflies and leaves....

I used Papertrey "Make A Bough" stamps for my leaves and branch....

the butterflies are a SU Sizzix die....

the flowers are a MS punch......

short and sweet, but I can hardly stay awake!!

Magic of Love

Happy Monday...the day "before" Valentines Day...

I have made this super simple card for "my Valentine" ....

He is not a hearts and flowers type of guy..but a tractor ridin" beer drinkin" man...lol...

so no hearts and flowers for him!!

I kept it simple with a Queen of Hearts embossing folder.....

another one of my $1 stamp finds from Joann's...

and a bit of gingham ribbon...pretty much it......

I struggle to make "manly" cards cuz I am a

hearts and flowers kind of girl!!

I am entering this in the Sugar Creek Hollow challenge to make a Masculine Valentine

in a vintage, shabby chic or primtive way......am hoping it fits the "primitive" mode.....

I figured since I have a few black smears on it, it fit prim...lol.....

and he won't notice it anyhow!!

Think Spring

Just put together this bright Spring card to add a little "sunshine" to my day!!

I just received my new SU Blossom Punch and Mixed Bunch stamp set this week......

I saw an example in the mini cataloge of the butterfly made from one of the flowers....

just something quick and sunshiney...have a nice day!!
