Thanks Banner Floral Card

I've made it to day four of the challenge to myself to create at least one card a day at a challenge blog. Doesn't sound all that impressive when you say day four but it does if you say I went to the doctor this morning. :) Feeling poorly with sinus problems so went to get some medicine but not a shot. (Wink.) Too bad the doctor didn't know that....ouch, my hip still hurts. :) Guess that just proves I was sick! :) Anyway my card today fits the challenge at Cupcake Craft Challenge of having blooms and a charm on your creation. The papers are by Little Yellow Bicycle and the gold foil board is by Grafix. The transparency flower is by Little Yellow Bicycle too. The banner stamp is by The Stamps Of Life while the ink pad is by Clearsnap (Vivid in Pink). The rub-on letters are by Royal & Langnickel. The charms are from A Charming Place and the flower jewel stickers are by Little Yellow Bicycle. Thanks for stopping by to see if I lasted another day with my self-challenge. :) Hopefully tomorrow I will be feeling better. Nearly everyone I talk to is having some sort of allergy problems....makes me fit in I guess. :)

Star Celebrate Card

Today's card is based on a sketch at CPS (#167). It was a simple one and I liked that (especially since I have tons and tons of laundry to do. Do you have laundry trolls at your house? Wink!) :) Remember I've made bet to myself that I can do at least one card challenge a day. So far so good, yep have done it a whole three days now. :) This card has patterned paper by We R Memory Keepers (new Old Glory Collection). The striped cardstock is by Bazzill. The star diecuts are by Sizzix and the glitter brads are by We R Memory Keepers (same collection). Better get to work on that laundry before the "laundry trolls" add more to the baskets. :) Thanks for visiting my blog and have a super Monday. :)

Age Numbers Card

I've made a "promise" to myself that I'm going to try and do at least one card challenge a day. How long will that last? :) Well, it's day two and I'm still going. :) We'll be more impressed though if I can last a lot longer, right? :) I chose the challenge at Cinema Saturday Creative Challenge for today. The movie to inspire this week is "New Moon" plus use some silver on your card. I have to admit I drew a blank on this one and had to ponder on it a while. I had not seen the movie yet (even though my teenage daughter has a copy of it). What fun to watch the movie and create this card!!!! I chose the quote from the movie "Age is just a number, baby." I love to work with vintage images so picked one from Lunagirl where the gentleman has sort of a "biting" look to him (wink, wink). The rubber stamp is by Hampton Art and the ribbon is by Teresa Collins. The pretty flower is by Prima Marketing. The touch of silver is some silver foil board by Grafix and silver heart brads. My hubby has volunteered to grill some BBQ chicken for dinner tonight so that I can get out of the kitchen early to watch the last episode of Survivor. Very sweet of him since he knows how much I LOVE that show. :) Thanks for stopping by and visit again soon. :)

Allegiance Card

I had such fun creating this afternoon that I actually got to do two cards. Here is the second one and it fits two challenge sites this week. It fits the bill for the Just Us Girls one of using red, white and blue plus kraft colors. It will also do for the Crazy 4 Challenges one of creating some form of pocket on your card. The image is by Lunagirl while the patterned papers are by We R Memory Keepers. All of the diecuts are by Sizzix. The star brads are by The Paper Studio. Not sure who made the ribbon as it is some I've had for quite a while. All right I'm off to watch the new Sherlock Holmes movie....the couch is calling my name. :)Thanks for dropping by and hope to see you again soon. :)

Celebrate USA Card

Found some free time to "play" this afternoon (a rare treat). I wanted to create a card for the Just Us Girls challenge. The challenge this week was to use patriotic colors of red, white and blue plus kraft. The image on this card is by Lunagirl while the embossing folder is by Sizzix. The patterned music paper is by 7 Gypsies and the brads are by My Mind's Eye. The "celebrate" is a rubber stamp by Hampton Art and the alphabet stickers are by My Little Shoebox. The stars are diecuts by Sizzix and the ribbon is some I've had a long time in my "stash." I think it is by Offray. I hope you are enjoying your weekend. The heat has finally arrived in my neck of the woods. It is hot and humid today. Thank heavens for air conditioning. :) Perfect weather to get on the couch and watch a movie from Netflix. Yes, the patio needs washing off and there are a million things to do BUT the new Sherlock Holmes movie arrived yesterday and I think I'll watch it. :)

The [Stamps] Of Life May Release

Sometimes I can't believe how fast time goes by. You know the drill, how fast my girls have grown, how a month seems to disappear at an alarming rate, etc., etc. :) This being the case this month, I don't know where April disappeared to but here is another month GONE. :) It's funny how times goes by slowly when you are young. (Can you remember how long it took for Christmas to come when you were a kid?) Now I blink and it is here. :) Anyway enough of my wisdom today. The first of a new month is not always bad. That's when the new stamps are released by The Stamps Of Life. This month's set is an especially fun one to use. It's called banners4all. Let's just say I had a lot of fun with this set! :) Here are some of the cards I made with it.

Thank You So Much Card

Fun challenge at Stamp Something to have some stitching on your creation. I pulled my sewing machine out and did a zig zag stitch on this card. :) The stamp is by Hampton Art. The patterned paper and brads are by The Paper Studio. The border punch is by Martha Stewart and ribbon was found at Hobby Lobby. :)
Have you checked out the new show "Justified" on FX? I'm watching it now on Hulu. I like it (or maybe I just like the actor playing the lead role). :)
