Happy Father's Day

Hello.  I just wanted to pop in and share the card I made for my father for Father's Day.  I used the set from Flourishes called A Guiding Light.  I made THIS card last year using the ship and since we moved and don't live close I thought this image was very fitting.  I just realized while getting the link for last years card, that it has been one year since I have joined the Timeless Tuesday team.  Time flies when you are having fun!

My father came for a visit last week.  It was the first time I have seen him since we moved after my mom passed away.  I hate being so far away, but I am soo happy to be back home.

I played along with the girls over at CPS sketches.  

Thaks again for stopping by,

Hey There

I finally got a little crafty time today.  I have been working my butt off this week.  I found some new Authentique, Free Bird, Blush and Delight paper at my local Archiver's and couldn't wait to get busy craftin'.

I think I will pretty up the inside and put the sentiment in there before I send it off.  I like to have some on hand without sentiments.  May times I have gone to send a card and not had one for the right occasion made.

I used the newest sketch at CPS.

Supplies:
Cardstock: PTI White, Kraft, Rustic Cream
Patterned Paper: Authentique/ Free Bird
Stamps: PTI/Autumn Abundance
Twine: Doodlebug/Cupcake
Copics: YG03, YG93, G21, Y21, YR23, YR24, R83, R85, RV34, BG09,BG15, N0, 0
Spellbinders: Tear Drop Circles

Thank You/ Color Throwdown, CPS, Wee Memories

Guess what I did for the first time?  I stitched seam binding ruffles on my card.  I didn't even practice.  I just stuck it up there and away I went.  What do you think?  Turn out ok?  I was pleasantly surprised.  I am not a  risk taker so for me to just stitch on the actual card without practice was a huge risk!

I made the card for this weeks challenges at Color Throwdown , andCPS.  I loved these colors and had to play along. Also my blog friend Jenny at Wee Memories has a challenge for stitching on your card.

CPS / Shabby Tea Room

Happy Hump Day!  It is Wednesday and half the week is gone already.  Time is flying.  My son started this week at his new school here in Alabama.  He seems to like it so far.  Which makes me happy.

I made this card for 2 challenges this week.  CPS and The Shabby Tea Room.  At the Tea Room the challenge was Glitter.  Oh how I love glitter.  I think I don't use enough of it.  I printed this image off and used Martha Stewart glitter in Smokey Quartz.

I finally found a good spot to take pictures.  I am thrilled.  What do you think?  Does it look good on your end?

Supplies:

Cardstock: PTI/ Vintage Cream

DP: Basic Grey/Kioshi  &My Minds Eye/Home

Image: Anique Images (link on my sidebar)

Glitter: MS Smokey Quartz

Seam Binding: Memrie Mare Etsy

Flower: Prima

Hello!  How is your week going so far?  Mine is pretty good.  My husband has been packing and I have been making cards.  My craft supplies will be the last to get packed and loaded and the first to get unloaded and unpacked. 

This card is for CPS sketch challenge.  I just made a card so similar to this the other day.  If I would have known I would have waited to post it.  Oh well, it gives me a reason to make another card.

I used a piece of lace for the 3 small circles.

This is another one of those wonderful tags that came with my seam binding order from the lovely Bluebird Lane Etsy shop.

Supplies:
Cardstock: PTI: Rustic Cream
DP: DCWV/ Linen Closet
Stamp: Hero Arts
Butterfly: Martha Stewart punch
Lace: Making Memories

Hello everyone.  Are you having a good weekend so far?  It is still dreary oustide.  We are suppose to get sunshine tomorrow.  I sure hope so, it has been about a week since we have seen sun.

I made this card for CPS.  I think this has to be the fasteset I have ever made a card.  I stamped these butterflies and was just playing around with coloring with my new Copics, when I knew as soon as I saw the CPS sketch I had to use them.  Butterflies are everywhere in the papercrafts world.  And I love my PTI Butterfly Dreams set.

I took this picture of my card on a beautiful handmade doily from Carmelina at Creative Carmelina.  You have got to go by and check out her blog.  It is so inspirational.  This woman is very talented.  Art Journals, Crochet, Inspirational writing.  She is selling her doilies for a great price...and the cards just look so lovely on a doily.  Don't you think?

Supplies:

Cardstock: PTI/ Lemon Tart
DP: Basic Grey/ Kioshi
Stamps: PTI/ Butterfly Dreams
Copics
Crystals
Floss
