Green Medallion...

Whoo-hoo!!!  This is the last card that I need to blog to be caught up then I can start the New Year with all new cards.  I have to thank my bestie who's been giving me the title for my cards...it's the hardest part for me and he makes it look so easy!!!  Anyhow, I made these oh in 2014 for the spouse's who had birthdays in December.

This card was my inspiration card.  Got to love Pinterest!  I stamped SU Medallion in Gumball Green.  Ribbon and sentiment from Michael's and rhinestones.

I can't believe it's New Year's Eve!  Where has the year gone???  We're headed over to our besties house to spend the night and ring in the New Year.  I hope everyone has a Safe and Happy New Years!!!

Thanks for stopping by!

Bow Me Over...

Still catching up.  I made these cards for Christmas 2014.  

I saw this card on Pinterest and had to CASE it.  Orange being my favorite color, I of course loved it but would've never have thought to use it for Christmas!  I used SU Serene Snowflake and Contempo Christmas.  Tangerine Tango and Chocolate Chip Ink and Denami Design Ribbon.

My inspiration card.

Thank you so much for stopping by!

Ninja Disk...

Well, I guess that's what the stamp looks like...ha!  I made these for the gals in our spouse's who celebrated their birthday in November.

My inspiration for my card came from this card I saw on pinterest.  I stamped SU's Medallion and Michael's $1 bin Sentiment in Purely Pomegranate on white cardstock. Finished it off with the last of the lush Purely Pomegranate ribbon I had and some rhinestones.

Thank you for stopping by!

Have a great day!

Owl I want for Christmas is you...

My sweet friend and fellow spouse, Kat is due with her first baby a couple days after Christmas.  She had a baby shower a couple weeks ago, this is the card I made for her...

I used Perfect Plum, Going Gray, Chocolate Chip, Crumb Cake and White Card stock. Perfect Plum ink.  Sentiment is from Michael's.  I made the balloons with a circle punch and hearts from the SU Owl Punch.

My initial inspiration and color combination for my card came from my baby gift for Kat.  I knew I wanted to make something with an Owl in it.  I've had that Owl Punch for a couple years and that was my first time using it!  I went hunting on pinterest for card ideas and found this one created by Susan...and loved it!  I just had to CASE it!  

We made lil' onesies for baby-Alice-to-be (can you guess which one is mine?).

Kat, Kellye & Me

Thank-you for stopping by, have a wonderful rest of your weekend!

#KindnessChallenge ...1

Happy Sunday!  I hope everyone had a nice Thanksgiving.  My husband and I had a wonderful day, spent with amazing friends, enjoying some fabulous food!

This came up on my newsfeed from an organization I like (Ben's Bells) and I wanted to share...

What is #KindnessChallenge?

#KindnessChallenge is a movement started by Leon Logothetis to make the world a better place.  The goal is to get as many people as possible-preferable everyone with internet access!-to perform a random act of kindness and share it on social media.  There are no limitations to what constitutes an act of kindness.  It really can be anything!  For every act of kindness shared, Leon will donate $1 to charity!* The charity will be chosen by you at the end of December.  The more acts of kindness we can create together, the happier we'll all be!  So, who's in??? 

I am!  Here's my first RAK for the #KindnessChallenge...I may have briefly mentioned that I've had a couple of surgeries this last year (partially why I'm behind on blogging/lost my mojo this last year).  Anyhow, I'm currently in physical therapy with a great group of therapists.  I wanted to show my gratitude for all they've done for me this last month and made them a little something.

I got the idea for this Apple and Caramel Cream Cheese Dip from Pinterest and of course put my own finishing touches on it  (Here's the recipe for the dip and my inspiration).  I couldn't find the 1/2 cup mason jars, so I just used 1/2 pint mason jars.  After I made the dip and assembled it into the jars, I put the dip and an apple in cello bags from Stampin' Up.  I used some Lime ribbon (retired) from Denami Design and attached a tag I made using SU Crumb Cake, SU Square Punch, Denami Design Turkey stamped with Memento Ink and colored with Copics, Denami Design Sentiment, Denami Design Button and Linen Cord.      

Thank-you for stopping by!
Enjoy the rest of your weekend!!!

Warm & Wonderful Neighbors...

So I'm extremely late getting into the "Pinterest" craze.  I signed up months ago to see what the hype was all about and honestly, I hated it.  I think I went on a handful of times and logged off about as quickly as I signed on, it just didn't appeal to me.  Well, last week I went back to it and stopped searching for "card" and "crafty" stuff...just browsed.  What got me hooked???  The "fashion finds".  What woman doesn't love clothes, right?  Well I just love when people do the outfit collages, I really enjoy seeing how other people put clothes together, it gets me creative within my own closet and I love to refind items I forgot I had=)  My daughter who also wasn't sold on Pinterest is now hooked as well...thanks Pinterest???

Anyhow...a few weeks ago my friend Kat made some beautiful bows out of ribbon for a craft fair that I fell in love with, but thought wow, those look time consuming and complicated to make!  She told me I could make them, that they were easy, ha!  Well, while just browsing Pinterest during one of my insomnia nights I came across a bow tutorial...and she was right, they were easy!  So here's to my first "Pinterest Project"...

I made my neighbors Chocolate Covered Salted Caramels for Christmas and put them in these gift bags I made (I forgot to take a picture of them filled).  I followed the pinterest tutorial for the bows (which I had to laugh...the name of the person's blog is "How About Orange" ~love it!~).  I used EP Winter Wishes to make my bow instead of an old magazine and had to modify it just a bit, thick DSP isn't as giving as magazine paper.  Pale Plum, SU Border Punch, Marvy Snowflake Punch, Button, SU Baker's Twine, SU Corner Punch, and Sentiment from SU Four the Holidays.  This will be one of my entries for the EP FB Winter Wishes Project Challenge.  So, what do you think...how'd I do for my first Pinterest Project?

Thank-you for stopping by. 

Have a great night!
