Thanks for joining us this week for  Tammy scrapin corner , "Show me your distress".  This is the time to search your stash to use your distress inks and to use the distress tool on those edges!   So I hope that you will be joining us for this week's challenge being sponsored Bugaboo stamps .  You know how much I really {heart} those!!!!  I have a huge collection! And if you play along you could win 7 digis!!!     Go check out what our amazing DT created for you this week with those amazing images. Here's my card for it: To make this card I used Lion Love from Bugaboo.  I also used paper from My mind's eye lost and found.  It was very fitting I thought since it included little crowns ;)  Great for the king and queen of the jungle no?!?  I used my Tim Holtz distress tool on the edge and put distress vintage photo on the edge of the picture. Here's a closer look: I used for the 1st time my bow easy!!!  OMG if I had only known befo

Wow another wonderful day in Montreal.  And my hubby is back from his mom!!!  So happy to have him back.   This morning I gave in to my youngest son William... He had planted some seeds at school for tomatoes and other vegetables... unfortunately nothing much happened with them.  He was quite disappointed.  So I went with him and bought a bunch of plants.  I had promised myself not to do so this year because when we come back from camping, the plants all look sad... after 2 weeks without care.  But he soooo wanted to have some flowers and I must admit to liking them as well so I ended up buying loooots lol Now I have to transplant them all but it's way toooo hot right now outside to do so.  So it was the perfect time to make a little card.  Usually I would have taken some sun but the pools not started yet... and without it, it's not as much fun.  Plus it's way cooler in my scrapbooking room. I made a little birthday card for the sister of one of my colleague. I u

Last week while I was visiting my SIL and my gorgeous little niece and nephew (who will both be turning 2 months old this week) her neighbor brought her a gift for the babies.  I had previously made a series of cards for them but they were now out.  So she asked if I could make one for the neighbor to give thanks. Today while I was choosing the images at Bugaboo that I had won at Send a smile 4 kids, I came across the perfect image for this card!  Instead of stamping 2 babies, I could just do one cute little digi. The digi from Bugaboo is Peanut twins.  Aren't they just adorable?  I used the rest of the paper from the cards that I had made for them.  I used a baby diaper pin because I just think this screams BABY!  I also added to the right corner some Robin's Nest dew drops in white, you don't see them much in the picture but they add a nice touch.  I sewed the orange and the checked paper... doesn't show much in the picture however... but the recipient will be

What a GORGEOUS day out here in Montreal!!!!  I enjoyed tending my flower bed this morning with my youngest son ;)  It was fun.  Then I started making some of my DT cards.  I actually made 2!   One for Tammy scrapin corner .  BTW there's still time to join in this weeks challenge which is show me your flowers!   And the other card is for Jacksons digital expressions  challenge.   It's always anything goes but the twist this week is altered art.  Go and check it out! So of course I can't show them to you yet ;)  But I've made another card.  This week while browsing the wonderful sites I came across this one  Doodle pantry blog  they had wonderful freebie digi to use for their challenge.  I couldn't pass it up.  Just had to make a card for it.  I think it turned out to be one of my favorite ones so far. Isn't he just soooo sweeeeeet!  The digi is called cdd Happy bird 2 and the sentiment is cdd I'm so happy.  I used some papers that  I had from previ

Yesterday I did a wonderful blog hop featuring Alley way stamps and Ribbon Carousel.  When I got to the Alley way blog I realized that they have a challenge.  And OMG they had WONDERFUL freebies perfect for it.  I just had to get my crafty little hands on them.  Especially since I got a brand new grass cutting die from Cottage Cutz Craft that was perfect to go with what I had in mind.   Here's my card: Isn't he just sooo cute!!! He's called snail and the sentiment is also a freebie from them I was inspired by this color combo: I was also inspired by this picture: I'm entering this little card in the following challenges: The alley way stamps  - for the color inspiration and great digi Incy wincy designs  -weather (you have my nice button sun ;) ) Crazy challenge  - outside cc monthly challenge  - here comes summer Paper take weekly  - in the garden Just inspirational challenges  - picture inspiration mine is a very small creature of the earth.
