color on white

Good Monday to you!
I have to admit that I have had lots going on here in my life and my mojo is
on SLOW mo...I can't seem to get motivated to do much...
so please bare with me...
I did manage to make this card - I love the white background and just
wanted to add pops of color...Super happy to say that I believe I managed just that.
That there on the left is tape Martha Stewart Christmas washi tape...cute No?
The stamp is a dollar stamp set from Michael's - stamped it in red and just
matted it with some cool blue CS...

Sweet

I hope you are having a great start to your week...sending you XO

have a fab week be back soon.

Vintage Love


I have always been in LOVE with vintage and I have wanted to create those types of cards for
awhile now - so happily this card came out quite easily and I am IN LOVE with it.
I used a piece of a vintage score keeper card, a piece of fabric that I sewed
 into a ruffle and used a Melissa Frances sticker and matted it with 2 different pieces of CS, added some flowers, buttons and a leaf and a stick pin for a finishing touch.

Do you like this style of card? DO you like mine? I sure hope so.

What are you up to lately? I will be by to visit your blogs and leave some love



This cute card works for the following challenges:
Belli challenge #111 - felt or fabric
abc-challenge - O - old fashioned or vintage
creative cottage - fabulous florals

Have a great day?

something different

I have been feeling a bit down lately and decided I needed to get back
into what makes me happy...I know this is something totally different then what I normally
post here but I felt like spreading the LOVE around...
I had these white wristbands (the kind you wear while playing basketball)
and decided they needed to be COOLed up

so real easy like I cut 2 red felt hearts and hand stitched them to the bands

badda  bing badda boom
what do you think?
cute eh?
can you feel the LOVE via the web???
sure hope so.

I am linking this sweet thang up to the following cool weekly challenges:


Hope you love it...cuz I sure do LOVE you all...

happy wednesday

Fabulous February

isn't this the sweetest valentine butterfly...
Vicki of Stamped Smiles gave me the 411 on this baby
and last week she was a freebie from WINK WINK
... isn't she a cutie?
I used yummy paper from Martha and prima flowers and the
sentiment is by Stamps for Life...
boy she is all pink - pepto-y kind of right? But still cute.
Gotta say that this is a new month and is MY beginning of MY new year...
the year started off bad...I was so sick then good for a week then
back to  a sinus infection -ugh....sucks but  finally feel GREAT!
Yeah, so my New Years goals begin NOW...
Look out world - here I come - full force.

this card works for the following challenges:

stamp scrap  doodle - get punchy (border punch & scallop circle punch)
some odd girl - scallops galore (same as above)
meljens designs-create something with hearts (image -wings)
simply create - give your heart away (heart wings)

It's all about love this month - hope you have plenty in your life.
sleep tight
