Where There is Love

TGIF!! Woohoo!!  In keeping with “love” week, here’s a little card full of love that you could use any time of year.  This would work for an anniversary, wedding or bridal shower card :)  It’s Friday and that means there is another super fabulous Viva La Verve sketch over on the Verve SCS Forum!!  Diva Laurie has a sketch full of fun layering possibilities, not to mention a great way to use up some precious patterned paper scraps :)

After checking out the Verve Forum, be sure to stop by the Verve Store.  Julee has another fun sale that started this week.  The sentiment I’ve used on this card is from Text Objects which is part of this sale :)

Well, that’s all for me.  On Monday I was sure this week would go by quickly and it has!!  Next up in the studio is organizing my ribbon!!  I’m so happy the racks are up and waiting to be filled :)  I’ll take some pics when I’m done :)  Happy Friday, everyone!!

Kindness

Good evening!! I thought I’d be back to my regular morning posts, but I had time to play with this week’s Waltzingmouse Sketch :)  Oh, I wasn’t going to have time but we had a HUGE dump of snow today so I went straight home after work instead of running all my errands.  Needless to say, I got my ribbon all organized and had time to make this sweet little kindness card using this fun sketch.  I used eyelets for the small circles and tied twine into a bow.

Okay, here’s a photo of the ribbon racks!! ACK!! I could probably have gotten them all into 2 racks…but last time we only put 2 up, I ran out of room quickly.  I think all the purging I did helped PLUS I keep my seam binding in a small container now, not on the ribbon rack.  I may use that extra rack for some embellishment bottles.  You can also see my die cutting area and my paper:)  All my SU paper is in the lower cabinet and all my PTI paper is up on the counter in a magazine holder.  My patterned paper pads are the wicker basket and my scrap bags are in a matching basket right beside it :)  I love having all my dies, paper and cutting tools in one area :)

TGIF tomorrow!!  Come back first thing in the morning for a brand new Viva La Verve sketch!!  Thanks for stopping by :)  Hugs!

Happy Birthday

Good evening!! Well, I am officially anniversary challenged out!! Thank goodness this is the last one…I know I didn’t need to do every one, but I did and I am DONE.  Really, it would be nice to only have a few card challenges…especially when one works full time and only has one day.  Having said that, I have some nice cards in my stash now :)  The last challenge is to make an interactive card…well, the only kind I like to make are useful ones that include little book marks :)  So I made just that :)

Indeed, we are surrounded by miracles!!  Okay, I’m off to make my lunch and then tuck this little card maker into bed :)  Sweet dreams!

this late at night I wonder too!! Email me if you need any info :)  Thanks :)

Bringin’ Back the Mini Pizza Box!

Good morning!  Happy Valentine’s Day!!  I had a few projects left over from the Verve Release last month that I didn’t post and thought it was appropriate to show this one on Valentine’s Day :)  I always like to stretch myself a bit and make a 3D project for new releases.  These little pizza boxes are so cute and it always amazes me that it only takes one sheet of paper to make them :)  PLUS I get to fill them with yummy theme candy for the photo shoot ;)

Wishing you love and hugs every day…not just for today :)  Remember, Love is the Answer!

May You Find Peace

Good evening!  Another card for the Papertrey Ink anniversary challenge.  Today we have to use leaves and butterflies.  I always think of sympathy cards when I think of leave and butterflies so that’s what came out on this card.  I also discovered that one of the flourishes in Gratitude Journal fits perfectly into the bottom and top of a Labels 9 die!!  Score!  I’ll keep this short as the dh said he would hang my ribbon racks tonight!! Woohoo!!  It will feel good to have all those spools sorted and put in their place :)  Hope your Monday was wonderful!

Wishing You Luck

Good morning!  Ah, a regular post this morning!  I had a little extra time in the studio last night so I decided to create something using this week’s My Favourite Things sketch…

I thought of the A La Mode gal as soon as I saw that long panel.  She fits perfectly into the long rectangle nestabilities die:)  For some reason, all the layers made me think of Crate Papers Farmhouse collection…LOVE this paper!  Hope your week has started out right!  It’s a busy one at work…Valentine’s Day tomorrow, 100 Day on Wednesday and Parent/Teacher interviews on Wednesday and Thursday :)  Busy, but fun!!  Thanks so much for stopping by and all your sweet comments…I do so love and appreciate them :)

Sweet Love

Good evening! Another quick post for the Papertrey Ink’s Anniversary challenge.  Today we have to incorporate hearts.  I went onto Pinterest and had several photos to work with but got sidetracked.  Look at my new inspiration!! ACK!!

When the dh and I were out today, we stopped at Starbucks and they had the cutest love cups!!  I couldn’t resist making a card based on my cup :)  I had to dig through a lot of stamp sets to get the right sentiments…not easy, but I love the way it turned out :)  Hope you do too :)  Okay, off to dinner…it smells great!  He’s making me rack of lamb :) (Red wine tonight, Lynn!)

what’s in it?

many stamp sets!!  But some are PTI :)
