Special Friends, Special Moments

Just wanted to share a card I made today since I had some free time. I used a image I haven't inked up yet by 'There she goes'. I love using animal images...they are all so cute! I used a simple sketch from The Sweet Stop. The strips is a great way to use scraps! :) I can never seem to make a dent in my scrapbox...I always want to use new paper! :( I made an attempt again to distress the edges...still gotta practice!



Now time to enjoy the rest of the 3 day weekend! :)
Hope you all have a wonderful Memorial Day weekend!

Happy Birthday!

Made a quick masculine (I tried) birthday card just for fun. I know it would look better colored but to save time, I paperpieced the bears' bodies. I think this is the first time I used so many bright colors at once! Fun! I used a stamp from Ellzybells, I'm sad that the company had to shut down...I loved the bears especially!




Yay for almost the weekend and holiday on Monday!
Thanks for visiting!

Have a cozy Christmas!

Decided to make a couple more Christmas cards for Operation Write Home. Used a sketch from Clean & Simple. I love using their sketches when I'm making more than one of the same card. Went with traditional colors this time. Stamp by Two Scoops Rice Designs.



Also wanted to share this super cute easel card I made at the make n take at Taj Clubhouse!
I love their characters and stencils! But a lot of work! :)


Can't believe it's almost June! Hope you all had a great weekend!

Mavis The Cat

I love this cat from Stamping Bella! Mavis is the cat's name...sounds like a boy's name but yet it dresses like a girl? Oh well...still like him/her! :) Had some time today to do another sketch challenge...went to Sweet Sketch Wednesday. Paper pieced the dress and used My Mind's Eye DP.



Also wanted to share what I received from my CATS partner for May, Denise.
So cute!!


Here's the extra she included! So pretty and it's purple!
Thank you so much Denise!


Hope you are all enjoying your weekend!
Live life in the present...you really never know!
Lately there's been so many accidents and what not!
Life really is too short...cherish those who are dear to you!

MFT Challenge 20

I was really at a loss for a title for this post! Finally got to do a challenge at My Favorite Things. Decided to do paper piecing again and use DP from My Mind's Eye. I'm totally not used to using these colors but it was fun and something different!



Hope everyone's having a great week so far...so glad it's almost the weekend!

Felt Flower Thank You's

Hello! I decided to make a few thank you cards using felt. Used my nesties for the flowers and a sizzix die for the leaf. Then I just used different Clean & Simplesketches for my cards.





Crafty advice question of the day:
Do you know a good glue/adhesive to glue felt onto felt besides hot glue gun?
I was having trouble because my tacky glue does not hold at all! I didn't know til now!
Thanks!
