Bellarific Friday!

Oh what a busy time of the year this is. School is a week from being done! "YEAH" No I am not crazy....lol. Well ok maybe just a little bit. :) But let me tell you, at least after next week it wont be so hard trying to get everyone up and out the door for school.
I was sad that I could not participate in last weeks Bellarific challenge. :( But made a point to get a card done this week.
I wanted to keep it nice and simple so I chose solid flowery weeds and the sentiment "especially for you" (sorry I cant seam to find it on the website :( ) As soon as I saw this challenge I knew those were the two stamps I wanted to use.

Ok short and sweet as its late and I still have to get up in the morning to get the girls off to school. So I will thank you all for coming to take a look and I hope you all have a happy Friday!

Bellarific Friday!

It's that time of the week! I just about missed it. *phew* I really enjoyed doing this challenge. I chose to use pierrette pointy toes. She is a must have in my books. She is the type of stamp that can be used for any occasion! I was going to try sewing around the border. But as luck would have it the one and only needle I had left for my sewing machine broke on me. *sigh* Sooooooo I had to improvise. Not to crazy about it but well I had to try.

Thank you all for coming to take a look. Hope everyone has a good weekend!

It's Your Day!

Winter months are slow on birthdays for us. Then out of the blue spring hits and I am sitting now saying "darn it I am out of birthday cards" ... lol. When I checked last week I thought I still had some. Boy was I wrong. The only thing that is bugging me is that I cant find my happy birthday stamp. :( I am sure it is some were in my craft room but I cant remember where.
I have the sentiment "it's your day" from stamping bella but I cant seam to locate it in the sentiments section. *sigh* I hope this is not an indication of how my day is going to be. So I have been using that as it has a variety of uses for different occasions! For the image I used agnes ketto. I can not get enough of her. She is sooooooo darn cute! As you can also tell from my last few postings I have paper pieced her. I love this technique!

Ok enough yapping. I am going to attempt trying to find my missing sentiment (or make a card for these weeks bellarific challenge). Thank you all for coming to take a look. Hope everyone is having a good Wednesday!

Ivy Ketto!

I hope everyone had a good weekend. It has been cold and raining here for most of it and has dampened the mood in everyone. :(
I should be cleaning house after being gone all weekend ..... but shhhhhh .... we wont tell anyone ... lol.
I got the girls off to school and thought I would try and cheer myself up. Well at least that's the story I am sticking to ... lol.
I decided to use ivy ketto for this card and try a layout I have not done in what seams like forever. I am okay with the way the card turned out but I feel as if there is something missing. Hmmmm. Well I guess I will have to go back upstairs and try making something else and hopefully be able to figure out what it is I don't like about it.

Thank you all for coming and taking a look.

New Nestabilitie!

After purchasing a a few different shaped nestabilities last year I saw the spellbinders nestabilities labels one and knew I had to have them! I have made a few cards using the nestabilities as a background for an image. This time I chose to use the largest size as the base of my card. The possibilities for the nestabilities are endless. I love the way this card turned out! I also love the fact that Em has such a wide variety of nestabilties so close to home. If there was ever one stop shopping, this would be it!
For this card I chose to use rumor has it girl. As I noticed I was running low on birthday cards, I thought what a cute image to use as a birthday card! But yet again this is one of those images that can be used for many different occasions! Thank you all for coming and taking a look. Now I am headed back over to Em's blog. Something there about a blog hop??? Sounds like fun!

Happy Birthday Mae!

Zoe's little best friend Mae celebrated her 8th birthday a couple of weeks ago. These two are inseparable. She wanted a special card made for Mae so I chose to use missmatch ketto. This Ketto describes Mae to a "T".

Zoe herself made Mae a card but she ended up giving Mae the card before I had a chance to take a picture of it. :( I will have to remember to ask Mae's mom to take a picture for me and I will post it so you can all see Zoe's creation!
Ok another short and sweet post my craft room is calling...lol.

Thank you all for coming and taking a look at my card I will post again over the weekend!

Bellariffic Friday Sketch!

Note to self : I must try and get some more creative juices flowing. It has been a while since my last post and I have been feeling the withdrawal affects....lol.
I have been able to sneak upstairs and play a bit in my craft room these last couple of days. Oh boy did it feel good. I religiously read Em's blog every day and I have wanted to participate for a while in one of her many terrific sketches and challenges, but have not been able to do so. Today even though I was cutting it close I finished this card and I think its ok. I had more fun participating and that's whats important!
I chose to use agnes ketto for this challenge. She is one of the few Ketto's I purchased a while back and had not used yet. I love the whole Ketto line so it was hard to pick one. Ok its late so I am going to keep this short and sweet but I will post in the net few days and show you the other creations I have come up with. I hope you all have been well and I look forward to any comments you leave!
