Another Creatively Yours card

Good morning. Today I have a Creatively Yours card to share with you. I used some Basic Grey Urban Prairie, American Craft Thickers, Kaiser Rhinestones, Versamagic Black ink, Nestabilities, Cuttlebug dies, Martha Stewart punch and Fiskars Border punch. You can see the rest of the interpretations on the Creatively yours website.



Just a quick post today. Another busy day ahead at our house. Have a great day.

2 Sketches 4 You Card ~ March 30th

Good afternoon. I hope you all had a great weekend. I got to enjoy Vivaldi's Four Seasons performed by the Calgary Philharmonic on Saturday night. It was awesome.

I have my 2 Sketches 4 You card this afternoon. I've been trashing my stash of Basic Grey and I was playing with the Boxer line. I must admit when I first saw this paper, I fell in love, however, I've been having a hard time using it. Not sure why. Anyways here is my take and it also includes Prima flowers, Kaiser flowers and rhinestones, Savvy'n'Sassy ribbon, making memories tiny alphabets, Fiskars border punch and my sewing machine.



Also, I have a little tutorial going up on the Savvy'n'Sassy blog on April 1st. You can check it out on the blog here. If you attended the March Madness crop, you got a sneak peak!

That's it for today. I'll be back later in the week with some more cards and creations. Have a happy Monday.

Good afternoon.

Well I've had an extremely busy few days here. I keep waiting for some down time and it just doesn't seem to happen, LOL.

On to some scrappy stuff. Over the last couple of days all of the ladies over at Creatively Yours have interpreted Card Sketch #23. Here is my interpretation. I used October Afternoon paper, Prima flowers, Savvy'n'Sassy ric rac, Kaiser pearls and I'm not sure about the rubon. I included a second shot to show the dimension I did on this card.




Head on over there to see all the beautiful creations. That's it for today. On to more on my to do list. Have a great day.

Happy Wednesday and CPS #108

Good morning. Today I have my CPS card. I went really simple with this card. I used the Imaginisce Twitterpatted paper which is super cute. It just lends itself to easy cards. I think it's bright and springy.



Well that's it for today. Hope you have a happy Wednesday. And hopefully spring is blooming where you are.

2 Sketches 4 You ~ March 23rd

It's Monday again! I've been busy trying to catch up from the weekend. The boys had a day off on Friday and that totally threw off my schedule. Today I have my 2 Sketches 4 You card. I'm trying very hard to keep up with it as it will mean I will have 52 cards at the end of the year! And it's a card a week. So here is my take on the wonderful sketch. I used the Basic Grey Marakkech line, Savvy'n'Sassy ribbon, Making Memories tiny alphabets, Bazzill blossoms and Doodlebug brads.



Well that's it for today. Just a quick post. I've been baking muffins all afternoon and the oven is calling me. Have a great evening!

A Nest of Treasures

Good morning. Only 1 more day of winter!! I can't wait for spring. It's seemed like a long winter for us and I can't wait to see the flowers and hear the birds. We are landscaping this year and I've ordered a pear tree and a cherry tree for our backyard so I can't wait to get those planted. I know it'll be a couple of years until I see some fruit, but I'm still excited!

Ok on to the scrappy stuff. This month at Savvy'n'Sassy I got to work with the Nest of Treasures kit. I love the spring feel. This kit matches perfectly with the new My Mind's Eye Penny lane paper. Here are a few of the layouts I did with this kit:



Here are me and my guys on a hike last summer:



And another hike last summer. The boys loved this hollowed out tree:



And my little daredevil. You can just see it in his expression:



I also did some cards which I will show in the days to come. But if you love ribbon this is a jam packed kit and I had lots of fun with it.

That's it for today. I have a glamorous day of cleaning ahead. I think it's Spring cleaning time. Have a happy Thursday.

High Hopes Challenge #22

Good morning. Today I have my High Hopes Challenge. Sigh, no patterned paper. This is super hard for me. My cards always start with a patterned paper choice. So this is what I came up with. I used my Cuttlebug embossing folders, Fiskars border punch, Copic markers, Stickles, Tim Holtz Distress ink and Savvy'n'Sassy ribbon. I went with a Christmas theme. I'm starting early!



I have been working on my Savvy'n'Sassy DT stuff and will have to more show later this week. Have a great day and enjoy the nice weather if you have it!
