My next mini post is about the cute little digi for the great progressive challenge over at  Gerda steiner designs . This time around I made a little toilet paper midori album for a swap.  There's lots of videos out there that show it to you and I did share one in a previous post on Monday. I used some paper from an amazon purchase to crush it all up and create the faux letter effect. The closure is done with elastic bands for hair.  I added some little charms to the side.  The sentiment was done using October afternoon letters. Here's a look at the back of it and the open version with lots of little tags and all kinds of fun things I used a bunch of papers and things that I got in packages from friends and from swaps. That's it entering this little make in the progressive challenge  Gerda steiner designs . Hugs

Ok so I'm a total IDIOT.... yup you read it IDIOT I printed out the digi and colored it up .... and then put it on an ATC to use in a pocket letter.... then I checked the name and the new Gerda image for the progressive challenge is called Stinkin' Cute.... well.... too late I had already made this little guy into a squirel.... can you say OOOPS?!? Anyway I thought it came out cute so I'm leaving it this way and I know that I will be making an impression over at the challenge blog since I will be the only one with a brown skunk.... I made my very own background using a gelli plate (that was my very 1st time using it!!!  and I still have to try it again... I was a bit hesitate so purchased a class and have to watch it now) and I used some washi tapes as well as some bling from Queen and co.  The sentiment is from Stampendous stamp. I'm entering this little ATC in the following challenges: Gerda Steiner Designs  - progressive challenges aud sentiments challe...

I'm back!  This time to share a project that I made and that includes 2 images for progressive challenges that I participate in.  I don't want to miss this and cutting it close to the deadline... that seems to be my new me!  Always last minute....  It's more the blogging that takes time and well don't do it as much! For this I followed the fab tutorial from Paola Joffre that you can find here.  If you haven't subscribe to her videos you really should they are super interesting and you learn lots.  You should also join the My Whimsical little world FB group it's a riot in there. This album will be for my stepmom.  So I'm sharing the inside and will be sharing the top for a DT post later on. As you know if you have followed me my stepmom loves coffee and rabbits :) So I used an image of a rabbit that was part of the trio of images from the Heart stamps last month as part of the progressive challenge.  The little girl with coffee is from ...

I'm almost late!!!!  OMG I don't  know what happened and how I almost missed this deadline... I always try to play at the progressive challenge over at  Gerda Steiner Designs . Here's my little Easter card for my daughter.  I hope she likes it.

I'm at the limit of this progressive challenge of  Gerda Steiner Designs .  I got the fab image Nerdy but nice because I played in the last progressive challenge. Here's my card with this image.

I'm here with a very short post before I run out of time to enter this great image in the progressive challenge over at  Gerda steiner designs .  I didn't have much inspiration so I used a sketch to help me along.  I also used only scraps from my stash so I was super happy with that!  I really need to use those more...

I've been making little gifts... I figured that it would give me a reason to color... there's not much I can do and I can't do it for very long but it calms me when I do color.  So I have been making little snowglobes (changing the picture inside for a colored image) and my kids made the comment that it wasn't fair since they didn't get some... that I was making them for others and not for home. I remember as a kid totally loving to play with snowglobes.  There's something magical about that and you can stare at it for a long time.  Maybe that's why as well I'm making them lol being nostalgic since this Christmas is not like the others... Anyway... I'm here to share with you one that I made for my daughter.  Good thing that she doesn't check out my blog!  It's using a super cute image from  Gerda Steiner  for the progressive challenge.  I used the super cute Angel with lights.

Hey guys!  How are you?!? As you know if you are a follower of my blog I totally ADORE progressive challenges!  And the last one that I needed to do for the month of November is the great  Gerda Steiner Designs . Because I played last month I got the fabulous set free for this month!  And it's sooooo cute!!!  Just perfect for Christmas.  I decided to make a card in Non traditional colors of Christmas.  I've been doing lots of those recently and loooooove it!

Right now it's totally the type of weather appropriate for this card made for progressive challenge  Gerda Steiner Designs .

Hello everyone!  It's Sunday and it feels totally like a fall day today... so chilly this morning.  The perfect weather to stay in and craft :)  Hope to do just that this afternoon. This morning I have some post to prepare because it will be a busy day on my blog tomorrow!!!!  In the meantime here's a little card for today since there wasn't anything going on today here that is for the  Gerda steiner designs  challenge.  This time we have a cute little kid with pumpkin to work with :)

Hello everyone!  Hope you are doing well!  As you know I'm addicted to Progressive challenges where you play and get a fabulous digi the next month!!!!  So Just HAD to play with the latest little cutie pie from  Gerda Steiner Designs Here's what I made with the little cutie!

Hello everyone!  It's Monday!  But this week it's not so bad because it's the last Monday before my vacation lol so it has to come and go for me to be able to be away! As I have mentioned in some previous posts I'm trying to get all my makes for the progressive challenges that I follow before my vacation!  And of course that meant doing the one for  Gerda steiner designs . And I got this great image from Gerda Steiner free for playing in last month's challenge:

Hello everyone!  So how was your day today?   I worked from home today!  It's unbelievable the amount of stuff we accomplish in a day when there's no commute! I have a little card to share with you tonight that I did to participate in the new progressive challenge over at  Gerda steiner designs .  Since I participated in last month's challenge I got the very fun freebie this time around as well.  And of course I wanted to play before I forget lol

So I'm back!  And this time the card that I made is for the great challenge over at  Gerda steiner designs .  She gives the most fabulous digis!  And now if you play with the one that's given you will be getting the next month's free!  How cool right?!?  Especially knowing how fabulous they are!  The new set of sentiment from  Create with TLC  was just perfect for this and is what inspired me to choose this paper! So here's my card

Hello!  I'm back!  I posted my winner and now figured I should post some cards that I had done earlier this week.  It's been such a crazy week... 2 nights of parents teacher conference.  My hubby and I were sooo tired that we actually slept past our wake up time this morning by 55 minutes!!!!  Let's just say that I had 20 minutes over all to prepare myself and get out of the house with my youngest... so no time for breakfast.  And then it was rushing back to get my oldest whose graduation pictures was today when they have no school... so no means to get there except for mom to drive him... so ate fast at my desk and rushed back home... I'm exhausted lol and looking forward to a quiet weekend.  My hubby is going with William my youngest to help out my dad for the weekend... so it will be me with my 3 oldest.  And beside playing taxi I have every intention of just chilling. So enough about my day, I'm here to share with you the card that I made ...
