Hey! I know you!

Do you remember me? haha! Yes, poor ole neglected blog! I just get so busy doing other things that I keep putting off doing a post until I realize its been like a WEEK, lol! I got cards too to show...but I'll just show the one today.

This was made for a friend of a friend, who is coming home from duty in Iraq...


I decided to use some of my counted cross stitch on this, it just goes so well with Nina's newest set from Gina K!! This particular piece was part of a sampler that I lost the directions to and would never finish it, so cut it up, used this on the card and have these other pieces...here are a couple of them from the same sampler:




One day I'll figure out a card with them too, lol! I love being able to use other crafts with my stamps and make a card with it, such fun!

Well, hope you are having a wonderful relaxed Sunday! I had Blake and Holli here yesterday, much fun! He is just so wound up when he is here, never stops, so it wears these old muscles out! LOL! I got a few pics of him I want to upload later too.

Card Details:
STamps: Nana's Needlework Sentiments by Nina Brackett from Gina K Designs
Papers: All from Gina K
Accessories: x-stitch piece on linen, paper piercer and pad, scallop border punch, grungeboard stars, vivid inkyblue ink, sponge, twill ribbon, nestie ribbon tags.

A Quick! Tuesday Trigger card...

*Edited to add* I cant spell! LOL!

Well, sorta quick that is, lol! Cammie's submission to Moxie Fab World was picked this last week by Cath and I really loved it! So decided to play along! It was really inspiring to me, here is the inspiration pic:




along with all the red birds we have been having in the back yard lately, this is what I came up with:



Love the texture on the chair so played on that and the red flower! Fun card I think! And here is a little pic of one of the red birds out while it was SNOWING the other day:



I know, such a bad picture, but they dont like me out there with them, lol! Today, its a beautiful sunny day once again, little chilly, but better than SNOW on the branches and housetops!

Ok, thats it for now! Hope you have a wonderfully creative week!

Hey all! Just a quick post with a card I made and showed at the Gina K preview party the other night using Rupa's newest set called "Spring Has Sprung" I just love this little duck!



You KNOW I cant stay away from that kraft cardstock too long, haha! I also used some stuff I had in my stash, in the closet, for a long time...that fun foam stuff, the fringe and little flowers! I found it at Hobby Lobby on clearance for like a dollar...who can resist that?? I cant! LOL! It's usually used for decorating flip flops, but I knew I could use it on a card! :D

Ok, that's all for now! Me and Billy taking off on a 'date' night tonight! FUN!! :D

Our last day of previews for Gina K March release!

BUT, usually when you say 'last' its a sad thing, but not with Gina K release! It means YOU get to come to the party tomorrow AND able to purchase the full sets after the party!! Wooohoooooooo!! And once again we have two stamp sets to preview tonight, I only have a sample for one from Nina Brackett's set called Nana's Needlework and Sentiments is up first, and here is my card:




I was trying to make my card look like the 'quilt' was folded and hanging, and also to give it an 'aged' look...I popped up the top layer on it for dimension. I LOVE this fun set!! Just wait till you see the other images too!

Another Gina K Preview day!

Welcome once again to day 3 of the previews! I personally just love to look at everybody's creations too, I see them for the first time right along with you too..well, sometimes we DT might share a card or two, but most of the time not! LOL! So that is why I do so enjoy these previews too, to see how much we might have been thinking alike or how much different! Ok, onto the cards!

This month we have the NEW STV Kit! WOOHOOO!! OMG, this is an AWESOME one! Seriously....MAYBE my favorite to date...its hard choice, but just maybe, lol! It's called Spring Mix STV Kit LOVE the images in this one! Here is what I came up with:


I just loved this cute little stick figure in the set, lol! It has so much personality to me for a stick figure, dont ya think? I think this card would go to a friend who is a little on the weird side but you love them anyways, haha! oh, you KNOW we all have them...I wont name mine though..I'm just saying....rofl!

Next is the new Free with Three set, called, Friend ...I just LOVE the sayings in this set! Here is my card:



I also used another image from the new STV Kit too, the oval stitch image around the sentiment, perfect fit! The circle AND the oval both work excellent with the nesties too! Isnt that paper awesome too? Comes in the STV kit! woot! I told ya, very exciting stuffs in the kit!
