Show us your fav's!!!!

Hello everyone! HOpe you all had a wonderful weekend! I got to spend some time with my Mom and celebrate both her birthday and Mother's Day!

Well today is once again Wednesday, and we have a fun new challenge over at Fab'n'Funky. This week we are sponsored by Dilly Bean and they graciously gave us some fun stamps to play with.
 Here is what I came up with.

This week Pat has asked us to use our favorite embellies! Well I had to really sit and think about this one. I am normally a minimalist, and don't like a lot of of embellies on my cards. I do use flowers often, but they are far from my fav, they are simply plentiful in my stash. LOL! I do however LOVE my gems and using my punches to create some embellies. So that is what I have done here.

Here are a few more shots and close ups.

Thank you once again for stopping by, your visits and your comments are always greatly appreciated.

Have a wonderful day!

Oops! I forgot to post the info!!

Good day everyone. It came to my attention that I posted the photo last week, and never got back to do the written portion of my post. So very sorry for that!

Well this week over at Fab'n'Funky we were challenged to use some beads on our project. Using this cute little image from Pointer's, I used the beads in the middle of the flower.

I hope you can make it on over to Fab'n'Funky and show us your wonderful creations using beads!

Pretty in Pink!

It's the middle of the week which means another Challenge over at Fab'n'Funky! This week Wendy has chosen the colour Pink for our challenge! Yup she wants to see LOTS OF PINK!!!!!

Now I have to be honest, I know I have a little "girly girl" and she loves the colour pink. But her Mama is not a pink person, so this was a difficult challenge for me. I sooooo, do not do PINK! So here is it. When my hubby looked at the card, and said where is the Pink? I nearly slapped him!! LOL

A side view......See all the pink?

A close up of the image.

I would love to hear what you think, did I use enough Pink?

Have a great day!

Love is in the air!

Good day everyone! Today we have some wonderful news over at Fab'n'Funky! We have reached 1000 followers, and we want to say Thank you.

But..... There is more!!!! If you come over to our challenge blog you have a chance to win a wonderful prize too!



So what are you waiting for? Head on over and put your name into the draw!!!!

(But don't forget to take a look at my card for this week first!!! LOL)

Now onto my creation for this week!

This week our lovely Ginny has chosen the theme of  "Love is a splendid thing" and our wonderful sponsor for this week is Floppy Latte.

Here is what I came up with.

I used an image from Kenny K with my sentiment from Floppy Latte! I thought this cheeky looking sentiment well with the image. I tride a new technique for me this week as well. I made a mask of my image and then stamped the background to creat a wall. I really like this effect. I think now I need to get me some more background stamps! LOL

Challenges:

Crazy Weather once again!!!!

Good morning everyone! Did you have some crazy weather last week? We sure did!!  On Thursday the weather man was announcing one very nasty and brutal ice storm, therefore all our school buses were canceled. But Alas nothing came of the storm...................Until late that evening! After listening to the ice/rain and the very strong wind hit our windows all night, this is what we woke up to!

My windows are not normally frosted! LOL!

Outside was rather pretty but hectic. Even though the school buses were cancelled for a second day, I still had to be present at school.

Jeff went out to clean off the van and had to literally CHISEL off the ice! The ice was at least 1/2 an inch thick!

Our ice covered trees.

My mummified van.

Our frozen porch lamp.

But with all this ice, it gave me a little more time to stay indoors and play with some stamps from our new Sponsor over at Fab'n'Funky.

This week it is my turn to host the Challenge, and I have chosen the popular 1,2,3, Challenge.

That's right! 1 image, 2 Designer Papers and 3 Embellies.

Here is what I came up with:

As you can see, I have one image "Lili with Berries" from Inky Impressions, Two DP's (Basic Grey "Lemonade") and my three embellies are the little cherries on the side.

Here is a close up of the image. Coloured with my Copics. 

I would love to hear what you think, and how your week was!

Please don't forget to visit us at Fab'n'Funky. Come see what my team mates have made for you, and leave us link to your wonderful creations for a chance to win some wonderful prizes!

Have a great day!

April showers..............bring us snow?

Good morning everyone! It's Wednesday and that means a brand new Challenge over at Fab'n'Funky. This weeks challenge is April Showers. I know normally the saying goes "April Showers bring May flowers" but for some reason our Spring season has turned to winter! We are now into day three of blistery weather with high winds, snow and cold temperatures!

But I digress.... Back to our challenge of the week. Here is my card for this week.

I tried a new technique on the umbrella and boots. I tried to make some raindrops. Some of them turned out not too bad, but I think I need some practice.

I am really trying to use up some of my flat flowers, I have to bucket full of them!

Thank you for stopping by again this week, I hope to see you over at Fab'n'Funky with your creation!

Have a great week!

Boxed in!

Yup that's right I am all about being boxed in this week! LOL. This week my fabulous team mate Ciska has chosen a great theme for our challenge over at Fab'n'Funky. This week we are all boxed in! Yes we were asked to make a box. I have been wanting to make one of these match box dressers for a long time, and thought this was the perfect time to finally tackle it! I tell you though! It took me some time to get it done!

Firstly it took me forever to find the match boxes. I know I could have just as easily made my own, but I need matches anyway! So when I finally found them, I was so excited I bought six, and then emptied the matches out of the boxes and began to decorate.

Here is a little tip though, when buying match boxes for this project, buy one extra box, so that when you empty all the boxes need for the project you will still have one box with a striking pad to light the 3000+ matches that you now have to store!!!! I did not and now have no where to light my 3000+ matches! Oops!!!

Ok well back to my little project of the week! Here is my match box dresser. All papers were from Basic Grey-Lemonade line. (All purchased Here) I also used some wonderful stamps from our sponsor this week, Stamp Fairy.

Here is a close up of the drawers. I used some stuff I found in the jewelery department. (sorry I don't know the real names,,) The "handle" is one of the long pins that you would make a string of beads on, and the part behind it, is I believe a separator of some sort.

 A side view. Showing off the easel card on top.

 Here is a close up of the images from our sponsor.

Well I guess that is all for now. I would love to hear what you think.

Don't forget to head over to Fab'n'Funky and show us what you make with our challenge this week.
