From The Heart

Well, happy Monday morning to you all....

I have been reading on several blogs that lots of you are having issues

with loading pictures and such into your blogs.....

and here I thought it was just "me"...

from what AT&T has told me, it's an Internet Explorer issue...

so I use Firefox to load pictures...geez aren't computers grand!!!

All my issues started when my modem died, and I had to replace it

and somehow in installing it, I must of choose some bad decisions

and to top it off (don't tell anyone) today I dumped (yep) my entire cup of coffee

on my new modem...I never knew an old lady could move so fast....lol...

so I am holding my breath it doesn't just up and quit on me.....

 

 

I made this card for the Timeless Tuesday challenge at Flourishes

to use something "new".....

the stamps used are from the Flourish's set "From The Heart"....

my new are the little flowers I purchased from Michael's $1 bin...

I sprayed them with two different Tattered Angel mists and then a bit of stickles...

the little cameo heart stick pins were a part of my Christmas creative things I received.

"Love Letters"

Hello All and welcome to my new followers....

Today I have a card to share that I made for the

Flourishes Challenge "Love Letters".....

I used a stamp from a wonderful Valentines set from Flourishes "Love Sweet Love" set

I colored in my image with watercolor pencils....

 

 

the flowers were "glitzed" a bit with Stickles....

the little letters (envelopes) were made with a QuiKutz die...aren't they cute??

The cardstock is a favorite of mine from SU Cameo Coral....

 

So this is my entry...want to give it a try??

You have til 5pm today....

and you could be the winner of the Flourish entire January release...

Winter White

Do you do Pinterest??

If you go to search and enter White on White Cards

then hit enter, then when they come up, select  "boards" on the left top

all the boards with white on white cards will come up

get ready for some super duper eye candy...there are some amazing cards!!

 

So this week at Cheery Lynn Designs challenge blog the challenge is "winter whites"

which was funny as, I had just gotten done pinning all these white cards.....

 

 

My card I made came to me last night during one of my "sleepless" nights....

you know, one of those nights where no matter what, you just can't shut your mind down....

I had a card all planned, but went with this one instead.....

however, it was to have a white snow bunny on it, but I forget to place the bow on the

right side of the card, so didn't have any room for my bunny...sigh!!

 

I used ALL Cheery Lynn dies for this card

The Spring Basket......I threaded ribbon thru the handle...love how it turned out...

other dies are Fanciful Flourish~Build A Flower Embellisments 2~

Tropical Leaves~Miniature Rose and Meduim Rose

The embossing folder is from Sizzix....
I am also entering this in the challenge at
The Cheerful Stamp Pad challenge "White as Snow".....

 

Anything Goes

Before I share my project, I just wanted to say that to all

my blogging friends, I will be around to visit you all

sometime today!!

I have had so many computer/modem issues in the last several days

that is has almost caused me to lose my mind entirely....

 

Is anyone having trouble getting blogger to load pictures from an "upload"??

that function for me has seemed to stop working...what a nightmare...ugh

 

 

Now onto my card.....

I made this card for the challenge at Impression Obsession "it's your choice"

I received this stamp from my hubby for Christmas....

(I love it when sites have wish lists...makes it so easy for the "hubs" to shop)

Isn't the image great???  Sorry I had to add the do not copy on the image,

but there are those that would..and just not fair to the designers or companys

....anywho, I had intended to add a few more elements, but had already

mounted the image when I remembered....that's how my mind works...it doesn't..lol

I did stitch around it a bit, sometimes I love to do that.....

check out the challenge...give it a try...and they are having a blog hop, too

take a peak!!

 

Does My Heart Good

Wow, it has been some week.....first I have been down with a sinus/ear infection....

and today I have spent over 2 hours trying to get my photo to load into blogger

and ended up having to figure out a different way.....very frustrating

 

 

I made this card for two very different challenges....

the first being Cheery Lynn Designs to make a "friend" card

I used my always Cheery Lynn "go to" die Fanciful Flourish...

a more simple card this week, but I really, really like it.....

 

the stamped sentiment is from Flourish's Heart Line set

I love the way their stamps always stamp so clear and precise....

The challenge at Flourish's is "Love Letters"....

 

I might be back with some more if I can figure out my blogger photo issue!!

Be Mine

This is one of the projects I have been working on...

even though Christmas is fun, it has been a nice change

to do something else....

 

 

I chose to work on a mini booklet of sorts

with one of my most favorite "new" dies....

 

 

I made this album with these Sizzix dies designed by Karen Burniston....

Frame and Label Bracket~Album, Accordion Flip 3-D

and a Tim Holtz Alterations lg snowflake Rosette....

just love how I can make use of the snowflake year round, just by changing the "topper"

the other items are various things I had on hand, Martha Stewart and a few others...

 

 

Hope you enjoy it...kind of hard to get a good picture of it.....

I am putting this on the Sizzix blog HERE
and
the Simon Says stamp challenge "New Something"
