seeing green.....

yep, it's that time of year ya know, so to honor upcoming St. Patty's Day, here are a couple of projects that'll have you seeing green! Used lots of goodies from the Feb. kit at TES on this layout. And just let me tell ya, it was chocked full of awesome vintage finds! I used the Glimmer Mist in that same kit on the card to spray the shamrock.

some recent shtuff...

Teresa Collins yumminess...

have you seen it??? The Bella Girl, Damask, & Journal It collections are to die for!! You've just got to go check them out on her website, pronto!! You'll see what I'm talking about, and then you'll be drooling, too!! Then just head on over to The Embellishment Studio to order you some! Easy as that! Don't worry, you can thank me later ;)

Can you handle it?

A couple more pet layouts that is. Adding these to the collection...

Time flies....

when you're being productive!! :) Scrap-n-Circle had a crop this past weekend with several great challenges, and I was creating like nobody's business!! I was so proud of myself for all I got done, so of course I want to share them with you!!

This first card was using the SNC logo colors and flowers.


This card was using scraps from a layout.


This layout is using one of my favorite sizes, 6x12. And check this out....I sewed on it!! Yep you heard me right, I actually used the sewing machine on this little dude. Yet another feat I'm proud of! As a matter of fact, I think I'll be trying it again soon.




This layout was done based on a sketch from PageMaps (Jan side map).


Another 6x12 here with all hand drawn doodles.


So there you go....that's how I spent my Superbowl Sunday. LOL!

Bring those mad card-making skills......

and hop on over to the The Embellishment Studio!! We're spreading the love, and YOU could be our next Guest Designer!! Read all the details here. Get busy, and show us what you've got! I just know you'll love playing with one of the awesome kits TES puts together! Can't wait to see what you create!!

first challenge of the new year!!

So, IF I was the kind of person to do New Year resolutions, I would have probably included one about trying to use more sketches this year....to force myself to think out-of-the-box. But since I'm not that kind of person, I just decided to play along in the challenge at Caardvarks ;) They were lucky enough to have an exclusive cardmap sketch from Becky Fleck for their first challenge of the new year! I was inspired by their DT creations, and jumped right in to try one for myself! I had received some yummy Love, Elsie pp from my secret santa at Scrap-N-Circle, and paired it with some SEI I had one hand. The Heidi Swapp pink cherry bling was just too cute not to use with it, and I also used my FAVORITE American Crafts Thickers! The flower, ribbon, & ric-rack were out of my stash.
