Challenge card

 So I have decided to join in a challenge, 1st one for me in this new year.  The challenge is at https://makethecardschallenge.com/make-the-cards-challenge-2/   The challenge is to use the following colors on your project: grey and different shades of purple. I think I did pretty good and I am fairly happy with this card. It’s going to be for another birthday for family member in March.  I used some scrap paper from crafters companion also used layering floral stamp from Altenew for the big flowers and also stamped a small floral bouquet on the background on the grey scrap paper.  Added some deep purple ribbon, lace and a bit of rhinestone bling.  And now for the card.......

Well there is my first card for my first challenges of this year!  Head over to “Make the cards” challenge blog here : http://makethecardschallenge.com and check it out and join in if the mood strikes you.  Thanks for popping by and be sure to say Hi!

Until next time,

Birthday card

 Hi all, back with a card for a friend’s birthday later this month.  Used a new stamp set from crafters companion. I am not really happy with the wink of Stella I added after coloring the flowers, it came out to much and it seems a bit much to me, may have to re-stamp and color it again.  Oh well we shall see what I decide.  For now I am leaving it as is.....what do y’all think about it?  Re-stamp or leave it?  Would love to hear your thoughts.  

Until Next Time,

Last of my Valentine’s Day cards

 Ok so I finished my last Valentine’s Day Card last night, Yay me, lol!  Now I can see what challenges I may want to join for fun.  Another lovely day here, in the 70’s and sunny.  Already did my errands and house chores, so I guess that means I can get busy crafting something...... here is the last card for Valentine’s Day.  Have a fab day and happy crafting to you all! 

Oh and before I forget, I used a Darcie embosssing folder and a very old Hero Arts stamp.  And momento black ink and Tim Holz distress ink in picked raspberry...... some of you emailed and asked what products I use so I will try to be better about letting y’all know this....

Until next time,

Happy Sunday all!

 Happy Sunday everyone everywhere!  Today here in central Texas it is kinda gray and cloudy and bit drizzly out, but nice temps..... my sweet hubby has decided that every Sunday in this new year he is going to make my momma brunch in bed!  Please promise me not to tell her I put a picture of her here if you know her!  She would be embarrassed for sure but love it all in the same.  Anyways here are a couple pics of what hubby did for her today.  She loves it totally and told him it makes her feel very special!  So without any more here are the pics........

Mom hates to smile in pics, sorry!  Keep coming back as I will have more cards and hobbies to share in this coming week! Have a fabulous Sunday and stay safe my friends...

Crafting day on TV!

 So today is the 24 hr craft day on HSN!  I simply adore all things Crafters Companion and my momma loves Anna Griffin!  We bought a couple things but not much.  I have no room for a lot more stash, we are starting to burst at the seams, I’m sure some of you understand more than you’ll admit, lol.  My dining room is our craft room and it’s quiet full!  So not much else happening here today.  We also get lots of ideas from watching too.  Well hope y’all are having a great day and thanks for popping by.  

Until next time,
