Clearsnap Prize Package.

     Hi all, yes I am still alive, lol. I've been busy designing a Nautical wedding invitation. Can I just say they are going to be fabulous! Now that the design has been approved I have to get cracking to get all 92 done before I leave on vacation the end of the month, yikes!!!
     I just wanted to take a moment to share my prize package I received from the Clearsnap Facebook Egg Hunt today.

 There are some adhesive swirls to glitter, some Smooch, glitter and some beautiful colorbox inks. How did they know I didn't have any of these colors (I know, hard to believe). What amazes me is that these are exactly the colors I need to finish some Mothers' Day projects. Thanks Clearsnap, I love my prize!!!
     Now back to the invitations. Promise I will share when they are done. Hugs.

Just Rite Stamps Challenge

     So I noticed this challenge by Just Rite stamps and thought: "this is perfect".This challenge used buttercup yellow, soft apricot ( my personal favorite) spring green and violet-blue. I needed to make a birthday card for my mom's birthday tomorrow so I started rummaging through my papers. This was perfect since mom"s favorite color is blue.
     I started with some blue card stock and then found this striped paper with all the necessary colors. I was also lucky enough to find a solid apricot card stock which needed some dressing up. This is when I really love my cuttle bug. I chose the cherry blossoms embossing folder and did a light inking with a colorbox green ink.

     Next I pulled out my Spellbinders scalloped circle die and grabbed another scrap piece of paper. The "Happy Birthday" sentiment is from Just Rite Stamps. I was going to cut the inner circle from the smaller scallop but decided to use a plain round circle so it would look more like a flower.  

     It's amazing what you find hiding on your craft table. I found this beautiful flower, scraps of the ribbon and even the pearls. I guess it was just waiting for the right project! Thanks for stopping by!

All Dolled Up!

Isn't she just adorable! Meet Vivienne the stamp set I won from a recent blog hop. I now have 3 grand daughters and the older 2 (6 yrs and almost 4 yrs) love to have Mema (up that's me, lol)  french braid their hair, so I thought I'd make a cute "purse" to hold the supplies.
     I have been wanting to try this stamp set so when Color Throw Down 100 had a challenge ( celebrating their 100th challenge let's hear a loud cheer!!!!) using blue, green, pink and real red I thought here comes Vivienne!
     The bag is from TBBM and is cut to fit page. I think the paper was from K&Company ( I went thru so many stacks I can't remember which one I used, lol)

Not Mess Any More!

     Without further a due here are my creations I made with my challenge to myself. I made 6 cards and have plenty of supplies to make more.
     If you would like to purchase some they are for sale in my etsy store .http://www.etsy.com/shop/CardsNMore0005?page=1
     Back to creating!!
