Jeremiah 29:11

Good morning everyone! This will be a quick post as we are working on getting out of the house this morning. I'll be taking my oldest son to the oral surgeon today to have his wisdom teeth removed. I know all will be fine but I'm nervous about it. Todd still loves to tease me about when I had mine out (about 5 years ago) and how the drugs just made me sleep the entire time. We drove 45 minutes home and I still had no recollection of it...gotta love those drugs sometimes, huh?

Anyway, I made this card with Verve Stamps two stamp set called (appropriately) Jeremiah 29:11. I used a sketch from Taylored Expressions for this card. I also used some Porcelain patterned paper from limeLIGHT and the green cardstock and ribbon is from PTI.

Well, I hope that you have a fantastic day! I don't have anything prepared for you for tomorrow but I figure Scott will sleep most of the afternoon anyway so I should get some stamping time in. See you soon!

6 chicks sketch and product challenge day

Good morning everyone! It is a bright day here on my blog but I hope you'll enjoy it!

Today is limeLIGHT Papercrafts sketch and product focus day. I love the 5th and 19th of the month. Mandy always has such great sketches and the products we use are always so much fun!

Anyway, this week's product focus is anything with fuzz or flock. Just think of those cute little chickies and the fuzzy blankets that we all love this time of year...now...translate that into a card and you're all set!

This card is made with a super cute flower duo from Unity Stamps...and who has a wonderful selection of Unity Stamps? Yep, limeLIGHT! Go HERE to check them out! For my flock I used some fun Pixie Pink Fun Flock. For some added fuzz I used some felt ribbon (limeLIGHT doesn't have this exact ribbon but they have a wonderful selection of ribbon that you should check out!). Such a fun contrast of colors, textures and shapes in my card, this sketch, and the selection of fuzz and flock!

So, tell me...what else do you have to do today that you couldn't just sit down right now and make a card with fuzz or flock? What? The kids need fed and you have to go to work? Alright...do those things first and then go to your stamp room to make a card for fun challenge! You know that Mandy loves to give prizes away for the sketch and product challenge so what can you win this time? How about a jar of Purple Pleaser Fun Flock and Pineapple Sparkle Fun Fibers. After you create your card go ahead, upload it to your favorite online forum or your blog then go to Mandy's blog and leave a link for a chance to win! Make sure to use the tag of LLPC017 for your card or layout!

And, don't forget that if you place an order of any size at limeLIGHT from now until Easter Sunday you will received a plastic egg filled with goodies! It could be Primas (that is what I got!), brads, ribbon, stickers or maybe even a larger gift (written on a piece of paper)! Fun stuff, huh?

Alright, I'll stop babbling at ya! I hope that you have a super Thursday and get lots done today!

sweet dreams

Good morning everyone! I hope your week is going well!

I thought today I'd show you a fun card made with the Sweet Dreams set from Sweet N Sassy Stamps. This is Olivia...isn't she cute? I really like this set because of the fun and different sentiments that you can use with it. I chose the sentiment on this card as I know so many people who tell me that they have had a tough week. So, I thought maybe I should have a card to send. The paper is from Crate Paper's Lemon Grass kit. I love the earthy feel of the paper. One other things about this card is that I used the sketch from Techno Stamper's Monday Lunchtime sketch challenge. A fun sketch this week for sure!

So...what projects are you working on this week? I had a super cute card in mind for Thursday's limeLIGHT product challenge...until I remembered I'm supposed to use the sketch too...DUH for me! So...tomorrow it is a limeLIGHT day all the way for me!

I hope that you have a super day today and I'll see you tomorrow!

Matthew 11:28

Good morning everyone! I hope you had a fantastic weekend and got lots done! My Saturday night was fun. We all enjoyed playing Apples to Apples! If you haven't played you must try it!

Anyway, onto the card. I saw the CPS sketch for this week and knew I had to try it. Not only did I have to try it but I knew that one of Verve's stamps would be perfect. I decided to use Basic Grey patterned paper called Lilykate. It is so lovely and soothing. I thought about putting some rhinestones or something in the upper left corner but the simplicity of the card brings out the sentiment so I let it be.

This week brings another limeLIGHT Papercrafts sketch and product spotlight on Thursday. This time the design team members will be using fuzzy or fluffy. Hmm...that could be a lot of different things that is for sure! I hope you will join me for that! (Don't forget about the Easter Egg promotion over at LLPC...go to the store to check it out!) Also, this week is another fun Sweet N Sassy Stamps card and more Stampin' Up! Hope to see you back here soon!

I hope you get some time to be crafty today! Have a super Monday!

page plans

And here is post two for the day. Go ahead and scroll down for my Sweet N Sassy Stamps Round Up card!

As you know Sunday's are Page Plans day on my blog...at least for a couple of more weeks as my time on the design team will end at the end of the month. I have to say it has been nice knowing what I'm going to do for each Sunday!

For today's card I tried to use all SU! It is getting harder and harder to do that as I accumulate more and more goodies from other companies. For this card, though, I used SU!'s Raspberry Tart DSP and the SAB set Yummy. The Kiwi Kiss ribbon is, of course, from SU! as well. The buttons are from PTI. I used Kiwi Kiss cardstock and embossed it with the Birds and Swirls Cuttlebug embossing folder and then punched out my corner with my SU! photo corner punch. I thought maybe this would be a nice card to include with a gift for a friend and I do love that Raspberry Tart paper!

So...go ahead and head on over to the Page Plans blog to see the other DT members cards and the sketch, then...go stamp!

Have a super Sunday everyone!

round 'em up

Good morning friends! It is Sunday and I have two posts for you so make sure you look up top for my Page plans card today too!

How many times have you wanted to send a friend a card to let them know you are thinking of them? Well, how about inviting them for coffee too? This card is a great example of a fun way to invite your friend. Since the 15th of each month is Sweet N Sassy Stamps round up I thought that is what I would make. The coffee cups and sentiments on the main panel are from Warm Up set and the "thinking of you" sentiment is from the Bee Happy set. I used a Mojo Monday sketch and some fun Porcelain Basic Grey patterned paper. Going with the dot theme on the coffee cups I added white dots to each of the layers which followed the piercing on the bottom really well. A couple of pearls on the coffee cups really gave this card some fun dimension too. And what is funny about this card is that I can't send it to anyone until after Easter as I gave up caffeine and soda for lent. Yeah...the first five days were really rough!

Want to see what the other SNSS design team members made? Just head over to my side bar to click on each of their blogs. Have fun!
