Somewhere Over the Rainbow......Imagine That

I love the song "Somewhere Over the Rainbow, sky's are blue.......

For some reason it always makes me think about better days, which really is the intention of the song..lol.  When I got this set I absolutely knew I would be using this sentiment. 

 

I used some washi tape and some paper from a cosmo cricut line.  I made this card very simple because I wanted to send it in the mail.  I had used it as a sympathy card for a friend.  I ended up stamping clouds on the bottom, on the inside the card.  I hope you enjoy this simple take on a wonderful song and super digi images from Imagine That by Kris Breach.  Happy Scrappin'

So Sorry I FROGOT your birthday........Imagine That

Okay really, Who has not forgot someone's birthday?  Someone you love perhaps????  I really have a story for you then....The first year our baby was born was so very stressful as she was a very sick little angel.  Well my husband's birthday went by and I never even said have a great day...not 1 but 2 days later I remembered and said Happy Birthday very sheepishly ....well we laughed and laughed but really that is how in my own world I was.....and he would argue I still am....lol 

On the outside of this card I used a steel die from All That Scraps/C.C. Designs.  They have the cutest steel dies and they are super easy to use.  When you open the card I used the super cute frog boots from Imagine That by Kris Breach.  Her cute images are so very easy to use in a multitude of ways!!  Talk about diversity:)  Her sets always come with a bunch of sentiments that are easy to use and cover a bunch of great occasions!

I hope you don't have the misfortune of forgetting a birthday but if you do then this is the set for you to whip up a card as fast as fast can be and presto bamo you have redeemed yourself!!

Happy Scrappin y'all

 

oh yeah....if its a loved one you happen to forget then I might add this advice....get a present too for total redemption:)

Belle of the Beach: Carly's Cuties

Hi y'all;

Well I have been busy these last few days getting cards made for various things that need to be ...oh I am longing for summer!!  It snowed again here today and frankly, I wish the weather man upstairs would just quit for a little bit so we can get our rain boots and raincoats out and play in the rain! 

Today's images come from Carly at Imagine That.  I think Carly is Kris Breach's daughter and I am just simply amazed by the awesome artist that she is already!  I wish I had that talent!  I used Belle of the Beach (warm sand, hot sun, shade, water, sandcastles.....I really am aching for summer...lol)

I used my copics to color the image and Distress Ink to color the background blue.  The fins were created with the Stampin Up triangle punch and I just pieced them together to imitate her beach wand.  I think the ribbon came from Stampin Up as well.  Created a little distress around the image with a CTMH distress tool and put a little glue on....PRESTO BAMO...we call that a card!
I sure hope you have had a chance to use some of your scrappy supplies today:)  Happy scrappin y'all!

Mom, Your the World's Best Superhero!

I was so happy to be a winner at Glitter and Sparkle last week I knew exactly what I would do for this weeks announcement of a Mother's Day card.  Let's face it men and boys (aren't they all the same...lol) have difficulty with finding the right card ...... So I made it easy!  This challenge card's sentiment I created because of this sweet image from Jellypark images!  I used Cosmo cricut Circa 1934!  I totally love this paper and it works so well for both masculine and feminine cards!

Inside the card I created a sentiment that says: 

            Why you may ask? 

                    Because you made me the world's second best superhero!

I just decided I would add this card to another place as well.  I also entered it at Cute Card Thursday

I hope you had a chance to play with your crafty supplies today!  Happy scrappiny'all!  

Cheers!

Imagine That Digis Happy Birthday Ladybug

I have had a very busy week!  My dd had to have another cast on her foot to help her NOT walk on her tippy toes.  Poor Baby, she just wants the darn things off!!! I really cannot blame her at all!!!

And I have also taken on the role of the NEW ADMIN for the store page at Imagine That Digis.  Basically I will be helping with posts on the facebook page.  If you haven't done it already go on over press the "like" button and you will see the new things I hope to be able to get going.  I think I have bombarded Kris with a bunch of questions but she is totally awesome and loves to answer anything I have asked so far.....lol

Well without further distractions this weeks card is just as sweet as it can bee.  The rubber boots are shaped like a lady bug and really I wish they made the darn things in "big girl" sizes because I sure would love a pair! I colored the image with copics and what a blast I had figuring out the shading!  I used some Prima flowers and stacked and glued three together then I added some water and voila I had dimensional flowers.  Using red ribbon from my stash I glued the ribbon on the back and around so it would be tied together when presented to the recipient.

 

I used DCWV paper and cut a circle out with Spellbinders.  I added a sentiment for a Birthday card and Presto-Bamo this card was called finished!  I hope everyone out there in blog land has had a great day and it has been loaded with loads of scrappy goodness.....well or at least crafty goodness:)

cheers y'all!

Watercolor Darcy Dragonfly

Hi Y'all
Well I haven't entered many challenges where you win anything but to be truthful, I thought I should probably give it a try.....this was my second thought after surfing around the internet and finding some other challenges that I thought were interesting.  I love The Doodle Garden and it  is a company that I really enjoy ...so when I was looking around I thought I would give it a try at Glitter and Sparkle Challenge.  I used an Image from The Doodle Garden called Darcy Dragonfly. 

I got the Tim Holtz watercolor markers about a month ago and I tried them and was not really feelin' the love.....but I tried again and I feel this image is much better or at least it turned out a bit better.  I have digi images and that also means you have to be careful when spreading the color that the black outline (printer) ink doesn't smear....well it happened on the wings but trust me I am feelin' all kinds of love for those markers now....practice definitely made perfect.  I think Darcy is just the cutest little fairy! 

The other new thing for me, yes, even after a few years of card making, I had not tried the JOY CARD.  I also LOVED making this card...its like the song that never ends...well this ends but it just keeps going with a little surprise on each flap.  I had used some 6 x 6 Crate Paper.  I think I usually put more "stuff" on my cards but this one just pleased me with the image and all the paper images.  It was super fun to make and I think I will cruze the interweb more often and find some challenges that inspire me to create more love. 
Happy Scrappin Y'all
cheers

AHSC #48 and IMAGINE THAT EASTER BUNNY

Late, late, late that is what I seem to be these days.  I use to blame it on my DD however, she has nothing to do with this being late....OH if there were only more hours in the day....no, that wouldn't work because I would find something else to do in those hours and blam.....I still would be late..lol

This weeks challenge card was fun to do; however, it posed a little difficult for me to get balanced.  Some cards are meant to be unbalanced but when I make them I NEVER like them.



My card image came from Imagine That where you will find cute images not only from Kris but also her daughter creates as well.  That is talent!!!  I hope you go on over and look at the images she creates.  Each month there are a ton of new and wonderful images and sentiments you can choose from.  Now for my card.

I have been using up some of my older paper because I have a ton of the stuff and frankly I don't need any more.....gasp.....I only admit it here because my husband never comes and looks at my blog.  He thinks he lives with my crafty goodness he certainly doesn't wanna read about it....lol. 

This paper is from Cactus Pink, they are a company that only seemed to be around for a bit but I loved their stuff.  Although you can't really see a whole lot of the image here.  I used a spellbinders egg shape die for the eggs and stickles to blink up some of them.  I used a micron pen to draw the string and added a layer of flowers to the bunnies hat with dimensionals and glossy accents.  I think this lady bunny is just so sweet.  Come on over to Atlantic Heart Sketch Challenge and give yourself an evening of fun creating from the sketches provided.  You know you wanna......:)  Happy Scrappin Folks. cheers

Rollin' by with a Birthday "HI"

OH my word that Kris, at Imagine That, has done it again!  It is so darn easy to create with images that are so cute you just wanna squeeze the cheeks on the farmer boy!  I have created this card in just a few minutes for a quick- I"M RUNNING LATE kinda card.  I am sure the little boy it was created for will just love it!

I used doodlebug epoxy dots to jazz it up a little and Cosmo Cricut Paper.  I loved coloring this image with copics because Everything matched and I could make it look almost the same as the image you could print in full color.  I printed the background out as it was because it was a super time saver!  This little farmer is cute for all those little John Deere Fans, I just think I need a girl driving a Gator since my darling daughter drives on faster than most little boys her age....I guess when your country it is born right in ya!  YEA HAW!
Happy Scrappin y'all
cheers

Fairies after St. Patrick's Day?

Okay Peeps
It rolls a little something like this.....I made a St. Patrick's Day Birthday card (to celebrate the month long birthday madness at Imagine That).  But the great thing...A crafty person could use it anytime of the year....why you may ask??????  BECAUSE its so darn cute...Just look at her curly hair!

And really WHO doesn't love clover?  .....well really that would be based on allergies and all sorts of things but really they are cute little green sweetness :)  The inside poem is so cute (yep Kris Brech included a poem I coined.....too cool eh?).   Tweens are hard to "find" special things for so now there is just another reason you need to purchase digis from Kris.....she thinks of everything!

I love to get your feedback, be sure to leave a comment and follow along!
Happy Scrappin Peeps!
Cheers

Guest Designer for Little Blue Button Stamps

I am not sure if there could be any greater treat than to be asked to be a guest designer for a stamp company that you truly love**gush**.  Olga, whom is owner of Little Blue Button Stamps (lbbs), had asked me to design for the March stamp set which I have been completely delighted to do!  I used Miss Lily on Coffee Break to tell a friend how much they mean to me. 

I used C.C. Designs Cardstock which is another **gush**  amazing product!  Love using my copics when I color on the paper.  I used Pebbles 6 x 6 paper pad: Front Porch line, which I had never broken into and I love the patterns in this line.  It made me think of a warm summer day....and who couldn't use one of those?  I love to paper piece and even though this is a digi, it is so easy to paper piece.  I just copied the image twice and used repositionable adhesive to run it through the printer....voila! 

The sentiments popped into my head as soon as I seen this image.  Inside the card it says "and smiled"....who doesn't smile when they think of someone they love?  Really folks we should be walking around with smiles on our faces all day long! 

I love to get love and would love it if you left a comment!  Happy Scrapping Peeps!
