I want to start out this post by wishing all the wonderful mother's out there a fabulous Mother's day! I really hope you get spoiled in all kinds of little ways.
I made a little mother's day card using a great image from the heart stamps called Bouquet chick. I thought it would be totally perfect for making a little mother's day card.
I colored the fab image withe my copics. The image was cut out with a grand label 11 from Spellbinder and I used my scallop and circle dies from Spellbinder for the sentiments. I added a little double ribbon bow and some bling. The paper is from Oh la la for her by my mind's eye. I really love how bright and cheerful this came out :)
Hello everyone! I'm camping and we have had an amazing time here. This week as been especially awesome weather!!!! I don't want it to end..... I know that I'm still vulnerable... I get tired easy but with camping the beat is so much slower that it doesn't show as much!
I wanted to share with you 2 makes before the progressive challenges come to an end and I will be late.... I did both... but yeah having trouble blogging.... just seem to be doing nothing but sitting in the sun and watching my kids play! It's been awhile since I have done just that without feeling guilty!
My 1st make for you is for the Outlawz progressive challenge and it's an image from Blueberry bear. I thought it would be totally perfect for my junk journal that I made for a friend of mine.
I just think this image is soooo cute! And I used my copics to color it up. I used some of my cards from project life and some sentiment from simple stories. I also added some text book on the background of this page. The rest was done on some junk mail that was colored using my gelli plates and acrylics paints!
My 2nd make was used in my camping journal and was just perfect for today since we did spend a whole lot of time in the pool. From the heart stamps just had the cutest little image this month!!!
I used some stickers that I had in my stash forever and a great sentiment from Create with TLC.
Here's another really fast little post this time using the image from From the heart stamps. I figured this one would be awesome on my youngest son's b-day card.
I'm going to be doing some very short little posts... I've been doing some ATCs to include in pocket letters and of course being a card maker initially I just can't seem to not put an image on mine... so I'm sharing a few that I made to enter miscellaneous challenges and I'm about to miss the deadlines... yeah.... haven't been blogging much it seems I used to blog over 70 times a month and now I can barely do 50.... yikes... you can tell that I'm not out of the woods yet.
Anyway this is not about me it's about my little makes!
So here's my 1st one for the from the heart progressive challenge I though this would make a fab little ATC For this I tore the sentiment out and edged it with some dysty concord. I also tore a few strips of papers as well. The background was made using my gelli plate (for the 1st time!)
My next one is using a fab little image from A day for daisies, I haven't played in awhile and thought it would be fun to do so. So I used 3 different ovals in pattern paper to fit with their challenge going on. the ovals are from Nellie's ovals. The ATC background was done using a glossy photo paper sheet and some homemade alcool inks :) and then I used a stamp to do the frame with some jet black archival inks. The image, Fairy flower outing, was colored with my copics and some stickles.
and here's the last one that I'm sharing today and this one is to enter in the Sami Stamps anything goes challenge it's using butterfly flower. It's the same background paper as the previous one. I used my Nellie's rectangle and colored with my copics and some stickles.
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 Gerda progressive challenge.
The paper is from Head over heels by Lily Bee design. I used a bunch of tags from Fancy Pants -Collecting moments and Prima tag me. We will be using those to write our message to my stepmom because there wasn't much room for it in the album itself. I added some metal coner embellishments and put a bunch of ribbons to the tags.
Here's a closer look of to the tags that are next to the little rabbit. I put some sentiments from Create with TLC throughout the book and the back of the tags. I also used a sentiment from Gingers house
And here are the other tags were we will be writing. I used the super cute little digi from this month's progressive challenge over at from the Heart stamps and used my fancy tag 2 to cut out one of the sentiments that came with it! There are also more sentiments from Create with TLC
I'm entering this little card/album in the following challenges:
oh my... I'm almost late to participate in the sketch challenge over at From the heart sketch. I used their sketch to make a little Easter card with one of their images from the progressive challenge!!!
oh my world... making this post just in time to participate in the progressive challenge over at From the heart stamps! Here's my little make using the great freebie that I got from playing last month!
I figured I would send this out to one of the nice ladies that sent me some thinking of you cards. They have really really help me feel loved and blessed. I'm not out of my depression but getting better and a lot of it is thanks to my fabulous followers awesome comments!
Oh my... were does the time go?!? It shows I haven't been feeling all that good because there's much less post this year than last year! And I'm almost late for my post for the progressive challenge of From the heart stamp. And since I so love those images I didn't want not to play....
So I went super easy and followed their great sketch. I didn't even use DP only some washi tape which is pretty fun since I never use them.
Merry Christmas everyone!!! Thank you so much for all your wonderful comments my dear followers. It really does make my day. And I get so excited when I see that I have new followers :)
I wanted to give you my good wishes while participating at From the heartstamps progressive challenge.
I have to admit that it's a good thing that coffee exists... because I still don't have my energy level back... and I would totally be non functional without it lol
For this make I used the great image to make the calendar page for my hubby's gift calendar. It's nice to be doing something different with the digis and to know that he will be seeing my art every month!
Hello! So I'm still not feeling up to much... and I really really didn't want to miss out on the progressive challenge over at From the heart stamps. I got the set for this month free for playing last month.
I was super relieved when I saw that the current sketch that they had over at the blog and the twist was CAS! So I figured this would be what I would do for this!
And I'm back to share with you a card that I made for the progressive challenge over at From the heart stamps. I was sure that I wouldn't make it!!! But I did. Even with a mojo that's not collaborating...
So here's my card with the cute set Birthday Birdbrain that I got for free for participating in last month's challenge.
Hello! I hope you are having a great weekend! Here we have our kids all back! It's nice to be a full house. They (the 3 youngest who were away) got a cold... of course.. .but they were camping with the scouts... and it was raining... and cold. Not the best of times to be out in the wild.
Anyway they have some great stories now to share with us :) And I'm just glad to have them back lol even if I know that after a few days... I'll want to send them away again!
So I'm here this Sunday because I want to share with you a little card that I made with one of the great images from From the heart stamps. I did this one with an image that I had colored sometime back it's called Owls on Fence. I really love that image and it was sold at a very low price at the time.
Hello! I'm back and this time it's for a progressive challenge make. I really do love progressive challenges and I've been following the one over at From the heart stamps for quite a long time!
Since I played last month I got the newest set free. But you can purchase it and start playing if you want :)
It's a fall image... and I'm totally not ready for fall yet... so my papers were not totally fall lol
Hello everyone! In keeping with me wanting to do all my progressive challenges before I leave on vacation here's a new one this time for the awesome From the hearts stamps and since I played last month I got this month's for free!
Hello everyone! It's Friday night... late Friday night! And yes I'm blogging... well I don't want to go to bed just yet... I want to make sure that I really sleep well... These days I seem to have some issues with "work" related dreams.. and end up being more tired when I get up then when I went to bed. So hopefully by going to bed later I should be ok!
I'm here to share with you a little card that I made for the new challenge over at From the heart I did the sketch and twist as well as the progressive challenge (that's the freebie image for this month if you did the last month's challenge). I really want to be able to play next month!!! I soooo love their images.
This time the image set is Super Bird Brain. And of course he would have been super for Father's day... but since I had all my cards done already I decided to make him into a b-day card! The twist as doing a spotlight technique which I hadn't done in awhile! It was great fun!
Ok so this is the last post of the night! And this time the card that I have made is for another great progressive challenge over at From the heart stamps! I totally adore those sweet digis!!! And this month's was no exception!!!
Again I found a great sentiment from the new set over at Create with TLC
And here's my card with it I decided it had to be a really bright and cheerful card!
Hello everyone! I'm here to share with you a little card that I did to play in one of my favorite Progressive challenge From the heart stamps. I really love their fabulous digis and keep getting some more lol
The one for this month is just perfect for Spring. I decided to use some pretty bold and bright colors! I soooo love that spring is finally here!
I'm back with my last post for the night... wow it's long blogging lol This time I'm here to share with you a little card that I did for the great progressive challenge over at From the heart stamps. If you played last month you will have gotten this sweetie (actually a big set of digis and sentiments). And if you didn't and you spend 10$ in the store you get it for free! So a great deal to get started with this. The images are sooo cute it's really fun to play.
So for my card I used the Hamlet pig wit think spring! So looking forward to spring. And today as I was out, it was cold but it smelled like spring! Or maybe it was just me wishing....rofl
Hello everyone! So how was your day today? I spent some of mine in my craft room!!! It was fun after being out of it for the entire week... but I get tired very fast :( Anyway, I have a few cards to share with you and one of them is for the super fun progressive challenge over at From the heart stamps. They have just sent out the new set!!! And I got the idea right away to make my brother's b-day card with it! He's turning the big 4-0 this year!!!! So this fun bird seemed just perfect for this.
