Better late than never.

Good Evening,

Yes I am posting at night, sometimes life just gets too busy! So for those of you who do not know me, I just moved into my house about 9 months ago. We moved to a great house with an inlaw for my inlaws. Well this house has a great office that I said, "wow I could never fill all those drawers and shelves". Well you guessed it, I was out buying another bookcase for the office haha. Now mind you this office has two desks and I gave my husband two shelves and two drawers but the rest shamefully is mine. So now I need to take some time and organize things. Don't know where I will buy the time but I will find it eventually. If I ever get organized I will take some photos to share my work space with you, in case you might be interested. I know I love seeing other crafter's work spaces, I am always on the look out for better storage ideas.

So on to today's card.  I was poking around yesterday and The Stamping Boutique was having all their summer digis on sale for a $1, who can resist that deal. So this is one of the stamps I purchased called Sunflower Girl. I colored her using Copics and a little bit of Distress Ink for the sky. Some Stickles in her bow. The paper is just some scrap I had in my scrap box. Some miscellaneous buttons and a little bit of brown ribbon. The sentiment is a Great Impression stamp.

I am entering her in the following challenges:

Birthday Sunadaes Challenge 42- Birthday Card with Sentiment
365 Cards Challenge 344 Marvelous Markers

Hope you enjoyed your little visit with me today because I am always happy you stop by.
Thanks...Hugs...Kim

I see red!

Good Morning Friends,

So it is Wednesday, half way there to the weekend! Not that I have exciting plans but no work is nice. Speaking of plans, my sister-in-law  has invited me to go down to Florida (that is where she lives) to attend the Creating Keepsakes Scrapbook Convention in September. Has anyone ever been? I have never been to any scrapbook convention, but I believe I am going to attend this one. Besides, I am sure my brother cannot wait to see me hehehe!  If you have been to this one or another let me know about it, I am very interested.

So today's card is a cute little girl from Sassy Cheryl called Dancing Day. I colored her with Copics. I used a Sharpie poster paint marker to make the polka dots on her headband and trim. I applied some Glossy Accents on her shoes to make them shiny. I stitched her to a layer of red cardstock. The polka dot paper is from echo park called Happy Days.

I am entering her in the following challenges:

Color Me Creative Challenge Colors of Love.
Sassy Cheryls Digi Stamp Challenge Be My Valentine.

Thanks for checking in.

Old Fashion Love

Good Tuesday Morning to You

I cannot believe it is February already because the weather here in Massachusetts has been so mild. Normally winter seems endless but this is one flying by, I absolutely love it!

Hope everyone who saw my post yesterday did the blog hop. It is always so fun to see the great creations all these talented artists come up with. If you have not checked it out you should do so and don't be afraid to leave a comment! We all love to hear what you think of our creations.

Today's card I did just for fun because I am taking a class on line at the Color Me Creative Classroom with Suzanne Dean, which I am learning to color to look like sepia or antique photos. It is really quite fun. I thought this came out rather cute, very different from my usual colorful style.

I used a Magnolia Tilda image, colored with copics. The starfish is a little stamp I had for years from rubber stampede. The flowers and paper are Prima. The Love ticket is from Tim Holtz. The ribbon I had in my stash. I put a little bit of Viva Pearl Pen in transparent on the starfish to make them look wet. I put a little bit of glitter, extra fine in the sand to give it some shimmer.

I am entering this in the following challenges:

Magnolia Down Under Challenges Love is in the Air
Sugar Creek Hollow Vacation at the Beach
I Brake for Challenges I Brake for Love

Thanks for stopping by, glad you took a moment out of your day to share it with me!

Super Sunday

Good Morning All,
So today as many of you know is Super Bowl Sunday, even if you do not live in the USA I am sure you have heard of this. So I have made my card today in the spirit of the game. Now by the colors he is wearing you cannot guess which team he is from because ironically the Giants and the Patriots have the same colors. But let's just say I live in Massachusetts so you can figure it out from there!

I used  La-La Land Crafts Stamp called football Luca. Colored him with copics and used a bunch of scrap paper I had in my stash. The sentiment is actually a rub on. A red ribbon and some bling and how cute is he.

I am entering him in Crafty Ribbons Challenge One for the Men or Boys.

Thanks for dropping by! If you are watching the game enjoy if not at least partake in the super bowl snacks!

Let me know what you think, I always love to hear from you.

TGIF BABY

HAPPY FRIDAY!!!
 Thank goodness it is Friday. I have not posted much this week, unfortunately we have had some major family medical issues. But today things are looking up so I say roll with it.

Today's card is very easy and pretty. A coworker of my husband just became a grandmother for the first time so of course we wanted to buy the baby a little something and I got to make a baby card, how fun.
I used a digital stamp from Mo's digital Pencil called Baby Girl (how appropriate)! She is colored with Copics. My sentiment stamp is from Impression Obession. The print paper is from Prima their Pixie Glen collection.

I am entering her in the following challenges:

Cute Card Thursday Buttons and Bows

Enjoy your weekend! Hugs!!!
