Mermaid Ian!

Mermaid Ian is super cute! Good thing I was browsing last night and saw that TGF is having the CHA Relay Race. You use the free digi and create a card, put it in the galleria and then comment on the blog with the entry and your email. As long as you make a card, you get the next digi free! Made me more motivated to participate. Just hope I can finish all 5 of them! I thought it was so cute that they came up with Mermaid Ian...I would have made the card better but I was in a rush since I was out all day. It is supposed to look like Mermaid Anya is thinking about Mermaid Ian! Oh well...I tried! TFL!

Mermaid Birthday

I decided to do a challenge at Your Next Stamp! Their images are super cute! The challenge was to make a card that Sparkles! It's kind of hard to tell in the picture but I just ended up using a lot of stickles! Hope everyone is having a great weekend!

My 1st Stampin 'Up Class

This past Sunday, my bf's mom invited me to a Stampin 'Up class at someone's house. I was so amazed as it was my first time attending this kind of thing and I'm getting to love the products as well too! Ended up ordering stuff from the catalog and got enough to get one saleabration item free! We made 4 projects!

First we made a pin using fabric. We used the new 4 flower die from SU and each flower size was a layer to make a big flower. Each flower was folded into half to make so that it looks like there's two hearts on each side. And at the end put a button in the middle. The demonstrator meant to buy black buttons but mistakenly bought navy blue! haha! She gave us a little bag to put the pin on! so cute!




Then we made a little holder to hold a fun size candy bar. It uses a large scallop circle, a border punched belly band and a sentiment in the front.



Next, we made a one-sided card. I thought it was so creative that we used the oval die and the scallop of the oval die to make a purse! can you tell? We used the new DP from SU and the new bird punch! We cut the oval die on the fold so you can open it and write a little message! love it!




Last but not least, we made the easel calendar box that a lot of other people have been making online too! It was good to know how to make this! Super cool!


I had such a great time! It was great to do so many things in only 2 hours! It helped that everything was pre-cut! :) I might want to start attending more classes!

Kitty Love...

Just a quick post...past my bedtime, gotta work! hehe! Did another challenge! Yay! !At Sketch Saturday! Got to use my neglected kitty Pink Cat Studio stamp. Thought I'd make more Valentine's cards while I can! TFL!

Gorjuss Girl...

Couldn't come up with a better title for this blog entry...my brain didn't want to think! Sad the weekend is over! But glad the work week is short! Anyways, I decided to do a challenge with Allsorts! The challenge was to use Pink and Brown in your card...I'm kind of liking the color combo challenges. I hope everyone had a great weekend!

New Year's Card

I have an old friend from high school that I keep in touch with and told him that I recently got into cardmaking. I also told him about my blog so I think he checked it out. I was so surprised that he got me a CRAK! (it was from his gf too) He dropped it off on Christmas morning and I was really touched! Super thoughtful!



It was totally unexpected and so I did not have anything for them. Since it was going to be past Christmas, I decided to make them a New Year's card with a gift card. As I was browsing online, I found a tutorial for a pop up gift card holder. It was pretty simple making the inside. I just needed better tape so it stays close! Hope everyone is having a great weekend!

Piggy Buddies!

Right when I saw the new piggy stamp from Rachelle Ann Miller, I knew I had to get it! I don't know if you've noticed with my previous cards, but I love to use animal/critter images! It took me awhile to start buying some people stamps! hehe! So I thought it would be a good chance to do the challenge at Cute Card Thursday! The challenge was to use pink and grey in your card. I couldn't decide on an already made layout so I tried my best at making my own! Have a great weekend everyone!
