No Matter...

Hello!

It's Monday....back to work....boo hoo :(

This is a week I've been dreading as I'm travelling all week.

Two days in Cranbrook, BC and two days in Regina, Saskatchewan.

I do hope to stamp tonight if I can...you know....to get my "fix" for the week....haha!

I created a few cards yesterday so I'll have some posts ready to go.

If you visit my blog often you'll know that I love to create cards/scenes using dies.

Here I've used a combo of PTI and MFT supplies.

Stamps: MFT sentiment, PTI Flower Fusion, PTI Beautiful Blooms; Cardstock: White, Pool Party, Old Olive; Inks: Black, Old Olive, Daffodil Delight, Pool Party, Wisteria Wonder; Accessories: PTI Cloud Dies, PTI Beautiful Blooms Die; PTI Hills Die, Buttons, Linen Thread, Dimensionals

Keep Calm and Martini On

Good Saturday Morning!

This is going to be a fairly laid back weekend.

I'm so glad we finished our yardwork last weekend since I am still sore from the accident.

Within a couple of days, I'll be good to go again.

Last night after a little snooze I decided to play with some new MFT goodies!

I managed only one card before my neck started to bother me but at least I stamped!

This one uses the a new a la mode.

I was trying to get a good angle so you cold see the glossy accents on the glass but then for some reason I wasn't in focus....lol
Let's blame it on my medication ;)
I thought this new set was cute with the fun sentiments and I'm not even a drinker....lol

Thanks for stopping by today!

Have a wonderful weekend!

A New Hand To Hold

Well guess what?!

My MFT package arrived yesterday 

but

on the way home I was rear ended by some stupid person not paying attention...ugh

So

I wasn't feeling up to stamping last night :(

Hoping tonight I feel like it after work!

Luckily I still have a card I made last weekend that I haven't shared yet :)

This is a SU! only card made using the iSpy Sketch #12 from last week.

Stamps: Full of Life; Cardstock: White, Pool Party, Pool Party DSP; Inks: Black; Accessories: Heart Framelits, Pool Party Seam Binding, Dimensionals

Happy Thursday!

No stamping for me the past couple of days.

Just no energy when I get home.

Maybe if some new goodies arrive in my mailbox I will be able to muster the strength to do so tonight....lol

Using up some scraps of Dear Lizzy and another adorable PI I created this card....

I'm Busy Now...

Lately I have been going through notebooks at work like crazy!

A few weeks ago when Chloe and I popped into Mike's I picked up a few cheapie books to recover.

This one uses a cute PI and the fun Twisted Foursome sentiment set from MFT.

I've also used some great dienamics.

Hello, Friend

Good Morning!

We had the most glorious day yesterday!

The temp in my car read 32C on the way home at 5 pm!

Wow! Awesome!

Today we are expecting rain which is a good thing. We need it. My lawn is half dead....lol

Here is my card for the Featured Stamper on Sunday

I chose to CASE Karen's card here.

 I used a PTI set called Botanical Silhouettes that hadn't seen ink yet. I know...gasp! It's a gorgeous set, isn't it?

Thanks for stopping by today!

Text You Later!

Well Monday is upon us again....suppose it was bound to happen....lol

Yesterday Karen had an aweomse Sweet Sunday Sketch #157 posted.

I have the blog banner on my side bar.

She always has wonderful sketches!!!

After digging deep in my drawerI found this cute Who's That E-Girl from MFT.

Used several MFT dies as well.

Hello!

Yesterday started off a little chilly in the morning so after a trip to the Farmer's Market I decided I'd stamp until the wind died down a bit.

The Stamping 411 blog had a great sketch #252 posted.

Sort of a CAS card/layout. 

This is what I ended up with....

Our weather is going to be beautiful!!!

Thursday evening I created this card for the MFT sketch #68

Used the cute PI Because You're Special and the sentiment comes from Out on a Limb.

A Rainbow is a Promise

Yeah!

It's Friday! Finally!

Earlier in the week I played along with the CAS challenge on SCS which was to use a simple sketch.

I also combined it with the Crafty Friends Challenge #2 which was to use 2 die cuts.

Here is what I created with some MFT dies.

Thanks for stopping by today!

May Hope Sustain You...

Good Morning

Unfortunately, earlier this week I was in need of a sympathy card for a co-worker and I didn't have any left in my stash :(

Verve has some beautiful sentiments and this set came to mind immediately.

It's called Forever In Our Hearts.

Thanks for stopping by today :)

Being Cute Is What I Do

Oh hooray for Wednesday!

Half way through the work week again!! 

Lately I've been living for Wednesdays....ha!

This card below was created for the Featured Stamper - Shellie on SCS and also for the Crafty Friends Challenge #2 of using two die cuts on your card.

I started out by choosing this pretty paper from Simple Stories - Fabulous Collection.

Thought the sweet PI girl from MFT would go well wth them.

I've had these circle rhinestones in my stash for a long time and after seeing Shellie do something on her card I thought it was the perfect time to dig into them!

Happy Monday!

I really enjoyed the weekend!

Probably my most favourite weekend since we moved back to Calgary!

Yesterday I was up super early(nothing unusual for me) and was ready to stamp before 9 am :)

I was able to make several cards!!!

The girls at Crafty Friends Challenge have a new challenge up this week and it's to use two die cuts on your project.

Well that's EASY PEASY for me!

I love using different dies on my cards and often times create a card with dies and NO stamping. Those are fun!

I actually created two cards so far for the challenge but this is the first one.

Here I have used a MFT Who's That Girl image along with some dienamics.

Fringed Perennial Flower, Jumbo Monach Die, Ribbon Tab from First Place Award Ribbon Die.

The papers are from My Mind's Eye.

Bloom Where You Are Planted

Good Morning!

Today I plan to stamp in between loads of laundry and cleaning the house. 

Usually makes for a fairly productive day! LOL!

Yesterday I wanted to play along with the Crazy4Challenges #132- Buttons.

This is what I made....

I've used several MFT dies along with a WTG image.

Loads of dimension on this card!!!

Thanks for stopping by today!

Happy Saturday Afternoon!

It's cold and miserable here. Rainy one minute and the snowy another.

SU! Petite Purses

Hello!

Just a quick little post from me....

Last weekend I created these little itty bitty purses with the SU! Petite Purse Die(item 125606)

Aren't they cute? Super easy to make!
I grabbed some papers from my stash, cut purses, taped together, added a button with linen thread and the handle with some little silver brads.
These would be super simple to make as favors to house some little chocolates?? ;)

Thanks for stopping by!

Friends Stick Together

Yeah for Friday!

Looking forward to this weekend.

Chloe is away with friends and Brian and I are hoping to get away ourselves :)

That means no stamping but that's okay!

Last night as I waited for Big Bang Theory to come on I created this card....

I combined Jen's Deconstructed Sketch #47 and the Ways To Use It #370 on SCS(use ruffles)

Used several MFT dies and the First Class Friend stamp set.

Thanks for stopping by today!

A Pencil and a Dream

I had another long day yesterday at work BUT this time after dinner I decided rather than stretching out on the couch I would stamp!

I love Wednesday's for the MFT sketch each week.

It's always a GOOD one!

On Tuesday I had a few minutes to spare before picking Chloe up at school so I stopped by the LSS and browsed their clearance section. 

Picked up this cute MFT a la mode called Talk Nerdy to Me for half price! Score!

Here is the outside...

Here is an inside shot...

Thanks for stopping by today!

Crazy for Cupcakes

Hooray for Wednesday!

Half way through the work week!

I do have another MFT sketch #66 card to share though :)

Thanks for stopping by :)

You Are Loved ♥

Hello and happy Saturday!!

Yesterday I tried to make a few cards but nothing was working for me....not sure why.

Maybe because I was tired and had a headache? 

In the end I decided to walk away from the table and today I'll go back and try to finish up.

This card was created using the MFT sketch #66.

This PI girl is from Fly A Kite and the sentiment was one that MFT gave out last year during CHA.

Thanks for stopping by!

If At First...

Happy Good Friday

Do you have any special plans for the Easter weekend?

We still aren't sure what ours are but it'll be the three of us.

Quiet but nice.

The card below was created for Jen's Deconstructed Sketch from LAST week.
This is a SU! only card that I created with some of the new Summer Smooches DSP.
