Welcome Tuesday..Only 1 more week and the girls are off to school ! ! Yipppeeee!! So excited.I enjoy when the girls are out of school to spend time with them but two months is a bit long for me LOL.So onto this week's challenge at Scrap-Creations.We would like to see you

Decorate the inside of your cards.

If your like me it's an accomplishment just finish the front.LOL.But I have been making myself do it.Now it's actually quite easy really,just use your leftover scraps.You don't have to go overboard.

But I'll show you the front first..I used a stamp from Wee Stamps.This little fellow has been tugging at my heart strings for awhile.

and of course the inside....

Thanks for stopping by...

It's somebody's birthday...

It's somebody's birthday, I wonder who?

So look all around until you see who.

She's laughing. She's smiling.

My goodness it's YOU!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY JANET ! !

Yep it's a Birthday Blog Hop celebrating for a fellow teammate but most of all great friend.If you came from Sarah then your right on track but if not continue with Carla and it will start off.As I am the last stop I hope you enjoyed your hop Janet ! ! And yes actually her birthday is tomorrow but she's working so we're celebrating it with her  today so she can enjoy it.

Here is my birthday card for her....I know she's a fan of Lili of the Valley so I used these stamps.

Inside.. 

Now I have some more cards to share from her (non blog) friends..first up we have the very creative Marianne ....Now she used a Kraftin Kimmie fairy stamp and of course the ever so hilarious sentiment from Graphicat Designs.

Squirrely for Fall....

DUAL POST DAY   PLEASE SCROLL DOWN..

Welcome to another challenge at High Hopes.It looks like you quite enjoyed our last challenge.They were all phenomenal.There's some very creative people out there. I hope you'll like this challenge...

Our hostess Niki has us playing with some colors...

use" AUTUMN COLORS"

Let's see your creations using those great fall colors.Here's what I came up with.

I used this adorable squirrel. My papers are from Kaiser Craft Velvet.

I got these papers at Creative Accents.As do a lot of my supplies.LOL.I'm looking forward to getting  my hands on some yummy Bo Bunny Fall papers as well.They will be arriving any day now.Yippee ! ! I also used the sketch over at Mojo Monday.Fun one I must say.

Thanks for stopping by...You must go see what the rest of the DT has come up with.

Bookmarks keeps the spot....

It's that time...Countdown to school ! ! Well maybe for me.LOL.My girls go back to school in two weeks.I know when it comes time,I know I'll miss them.But they are getting very antsy to get back.I'm lucky,my girls love school.

So it's perfect for our challenge at Scrap-Creations to be

" BACK TO SCHOOL"

For my project I decided to make bookmarks .My kids all love to read.Always have.My middle daughter is a little more obsessed with reading.I say this because she can read multiple books at a time and read rather fast.

In school last year,they have an Accelerated Readers program.You are required to read and do a report on 7 books by the end of the school year.Well she did that..actually she did 52 !  ! She received an award for it.Not only did she surpass  her grade but ALL grades in the High School.She even received a GC for the local bookstore.Thank goodnesss, cause I can hardly keep up with buying her books.LOL.

Anyhoo here are some close ups......This image here you will find over at Graphicat Designs.

This image is from Dustin Pike.

Thanks for stopping by...Do check out the rest of the DT's great creations!!

It's a heat wave...finally!

Boy has this summer gone by quickly.This month's challenge over at Creative Accents is

 "Use Your Stash".

How hard is that...I KNOW you have something you haven't used in a long time or even seen ink yet.LOL.

I finally got to ink up this cute House Mouse stamp.I'm sure I have the matching sentiment "You blow me away", just not sure where it is.LOL.So I used a Kraftin'Kimmie one instead. I also dragged out my Basic Grey Hello Luscious paper.I cannot believe I hadn't used this yet! I added some Prima flowers that I've had foreeeever.

I'm also entering this into the following challenges:

-Basic Grey Challenges(Anything Goes)

-Raise the Bar(Beat the Heat..use anything used to beat the heat.

They suggested ice cream,popsicle but if a fan don't beat the heat I don't know what would LOL)

Crazy 4 Challenges-(Bingo)Square card 6",Die Cuts(circles)2 or More Designer papers(I used 3)

Gettin' sketchy with Scrap-Creations

This last week has been so hectic around my house...Actually really this whole summer has been.Anyhoo.I'm sure it'll settle down once the kids go back to school here in a few weeks.LOL.who we kiddin' it won't !!

Anyway on to my card...Today at Scrap- Creations we have a sketch for you to play with.

For more info on this go here.I made this canvas using Graphicat Designs sentiment.If you like this sentiment or the other one,head on over and grab it.All proceeds will go to this cause.

Here are some close ups..as you can see I focused on one frog with a frame.I added some glitter to the frog to highlight him even more. 

This next pic I wanted to show you all the dots that I use glossy accents on.Yep I dotted them all. 

As you can see I kept this canvas quite simple,using my paper to focus on.Only adding a few embellies.Oh and the image is from Stamping Bella-MoManning image.

Thanks fro stopping by...Hugs

For a good cause....

My friend (and yours) Kellie Winnell, owner of the FABULOUS Tickled Pink Stamps is doing something AMAZING. Her and her equally amazing daughter are cutting their hair to raise money for Alopecia.Read all about it HERE Cheri over at Graphicat Designs is helping them out. She made up a couple of sentiments to sell and donate ALL their proceeds to Kellie for her cause. The following sentiments are ONLY on sale for the next 2 weeks, ALL money will go completly to Kellie. Cheri has made up 2, one with her sarcasm and one with alittle more heart...

Baby it's BINGO time! !

Hi there...Sorry I almost forgot to post this today.My head is in a cloud !

Today at Scrap-Creations we're playing B I N G O

For those who are not familiar with this...simply you pick a line on this Bingo card(see below)

 and use those items on your project.

For my card I went with GLITTER,FLOWERS & RIBBON.

Actually I could even go Flowers,Die cuts(ticket) and Digi Image.LOL.Apparently I was going for a full card.Haahaa.

So I finally got to play with Glubers from Cosmo Cricket.What's this you ask??Well I think of it as a GIANT glue dot.I took my ribbon and just kept going in a circle creating my flower.Love this!!

You could do so many things with it.I also gave the ribbon a shot from my heat gun to give it that crinkly look.

So onto the rest of my card,the image is from Paper Shelter...love this cutie.Sooo much fun to color.Honestly I could not get a very good pic,it is much brighter in real life.

Close up-If you click to make bigger you'll see all the glitter everywhere.It's on the edges of my layers,the balls,the flowers,the ribbon.....oh I went glitter crazy!

I came up with this one...Been There..Slain that.I just wrote it myself.It probably would have looked better had I typed it up on the computer.LOL.

A True Friend...

Mojo Mr & Mrs

Hi Just a quick post....I made another wedding card.This card I used Mojo Monday's sketch.Love this one.It was a fun one,think I'll use it again.I used some papers from SEI and KaiserCraft.

Now here's the cool thing,the blue paper is actually white with foil.I used Broken China Distress stain on it.The foil part of the paper resisted the ink.SOOOO COOL ! ! I added some ribbon and flowers,that about it.Oh and the image is from Just Inklined.

Thanks for stopping by...........

Baby Box

I hope you had the chance to stop by High Hopes Blog and check out the great tutorial over there.Kristine is showing you how to make a tunnel card.I know I have got to try that ! !

Today I made this cute little gift box using a Dustin Monkey.I can't remember his name for the life of me.

I thought I could use this little gift box for little socks or travel size lotions and what have ya.It actually matches the baby I card I made awhile back.
