This next card is for Jazzy Inspirations and the challenge was to use Orange, Red, Black, White & Yellow. I compromised by using Riding Hood Red because it reminds me of the orange/red combo...through in the other colors and voila---finished card! My main image is stamped in bleach and I think it created the coolest effect on this cardstock. It feels really good to know that your basic techniqes can still make a nice card! Be sure and check out the Jazzy blog for the DT call and to link up your creations for the chance to be the Jazz Cat of the week!

Thanks so much for stopping by and have a great rest of the day!TTFN,

Etsy Inspiration #41


Happy Saturday Everyone!
It's an Etsy day and this week's shop is called Potato Patch and the lucky winner will receive a short sleeve shirt of their choice! Wanna play.....check out the above shop, pick your inspiration, make your creation & link it to Ashley's blog.

I know that Father's Day is right around the corner but I was feeling a bit Patriotic when I started on my creation. Surprisingly, I wasn't in the mood for a card so I made a 6x6 scrapbook page that will eventually be turned into a 12x12 layout. I just love that star wheel and those punches....they make life a bit easy don't they?!! I also *dusted* off my scallop edge punch for this page----felt good too LOL! My finishing touch was highlighting my scallops with the gel pen & that's all it *needs* for now. I'm kind of anxious to *finish* the bigger layout now but it will have to wait 'til I'm done with my Convention stuff!!

Make sure you check out the rest of the DT to see their awesome creations and be sure to leave them some love!

Convention Swap #2.....

Happy Friday Everyone!
I was really busy yesterday and since I didn't have time to post, I did work on & finish another Convention swap! I'm so proud of myself for getting these out of the way now instead of waiting 'til the last minute.....especially since I'm in quite a few organized swaps.

Today's creation is for a WOW technique swap.....I chose *spotlighting* as my wow & I'm really happy with the final result. It's a pretty basic layout but I think it's perfect for this particular technique. I used the scraps from the Razzleberry Lemonade DSP on these along with a new Level 2 Hostess set Wings of Friendship---I LOVE THIS ONE!!! You'll also note what's fast becoming my fave color combo with the new In Colors....Soft Suede & Crushed Curry---delish together if you ask me!

Well, that's 2 down and several more to go so I'm going to get busy! I'll post it on Sunday since tomorrow is Etsy day.....make sure you come back and see the fun shop for next week & play along with us!

Convention Swap #1.....




Happy Wednesday Everyone!
First I want to thank everyone for the kind comments & emails I received yesterday! I truly appreciate everyone's advice and I took them all to heart.....obviously my Dr. took my reaction to heart about what/how he talked to me on Monday.....it wasn't pretty either peeps. I've had a *hair trigger temper* ever since my accident & I think I scared him a bit LOL!! He called me to apologize about his *bedside manner*, he let me know that he's set up some blood work for me to test my thyroid and a few other things, he told me I should *eat* more (as you all did) and continue to do what I'm doing. He told me that I wasn't *unhealthy*---I'm in between a size 8 & 10 depending on the style of jeans....however; my 10's are getting a bit big for me now--- but for my height--I think I'm maybe 5'0 or 5'1--my weight needs to be between 125-130 but that he also understands that I lift weights a LOT. "Do more cardio....ride your bike more and lift less." Well, that's what I'm doing (every morning) and with my husband's complete support. He really loves me you guys. He went out and bought me all kinds of protein shakes, bars, lots of fruit & 100 calorie snacks. I'm already taking vitamins but he added a bit more to my regimen. He has never complained about my weight either.....he was just as shocked with the # on the scale as I was. He immediately said---"you don't look like you weigh that much, I thought you would be at 135-140 honestly." "We'll start riding together to get rid of some of your muscle mass OK?" Gotta love him hugh...

Anywhoo, onto my post for today. This is called a *flip tab album* and I really love how it came out! Super easy to make and gotta love the new Razzleberry Lemonade DSP.....the gorgeous colors in the paper really *made* this album to me. I have everything sorted out assembly line style so now all I have to do is finish the other 5. I do hope the other ladies in this swap enjoy/like this lil' album and I also hope you all don't mind me posting my Convention stuff. I have quite a few things to make so you'll be seeing lots more. Oh, & for my clients that *stalk* my blog.....pretend that you didn't see this ROFLOL!!

I have to get movin' now! Thanks so much for stopping by and have a great rest of the day!!

Quick Vent....

Happy Tuesday Everyone!
I hope you're all having a great day so far! I wish I could say that I'm in the best of moods but after visiting my Dr. yesterday.....I am far from that!! As much as I try to not put my personal business out here; I really need to get this off my chest so please bear with me.....

I didn't announce any New Year's resolutions or anything like that...I never do. For those that don't know, I was in a terrible car accident 2 years ago and lost the ability to use the right side of my body. As with any injured person with limited mobility; you gain a little bit of weight & I'm no exception. I can look in the mirror and see that I'm not *perfect* if YKWIM.

I've been working out really hard since January of this year, exercising, lifting weights, jumping rope...etc. My clothes fit a lot better, I look & feel great---this came from my Dr. himself. HOWEVER, the scale says that I weigh.....160 lbs!!! I need to lose 30 lbs to be within the *healthy* guidelines for my height. You have no idea how my heart sank when I stepped on the scale.....my husband tells me that I'm just solid, a lot of muscle because I lift weights like people change clothes. How can it be possible that someone that barely eats, exercises daily & can get into clothes that she never thought she would again be overweight? I am so frustrated, in tears just thinking about the struggle ahead of me to lose 30 lbs so I can be considered HEALTHY!!!!

I went on a nice long bike ride this morning, sweating my butt off and then came home and followed my regular exercise program. I ate a Special K bar for breakfast and drank water.....what's that 90 calories! I haven't had a snack or anything because I'm not hungry.....I don't know what else to do. I will continue on my path although it's been 6 months and I've managed to gain instead of lose. Maybe they're right.....muscle weighs more than fat and I shouldn't lift weights anymore---HOWEVER---everyone knows that you should tone as you lose so that you'll look FIRM instead of FLABBY! I hate scales, I don't even have one in my home & I'm for sure not buying one now. I am at a loss, ready to give up but not going to, frustrated, pretty pissed off & crying at the same time because of what the stupid scale says........

I'm going to try and create something pretty.....hoping that takes my mind off all this crap and just focus. Thank you for lettting me vent and hope you all have a great rest of the day!

Demo Swap Card....

Good Monday Morning Everyone!
I have a really quick post for you today but first I want to thank everyone for the get well wishes! I'm feeling a LOT better this morning however; I do have to visit my Dr. today & there's our downline meeting tonight so let's get on to my post!!!

For our meeting this month, we had to create something using a color combo from the Color Wheel. Not as easy as it looks peeps but I think I did OK. I really wanted to use my Taste of Textiles paper since it's retiring so it was a no-brainer that I would be using Not Quite Navy. The hard part was figuring out where to use the rest of the colors that went with my base. After tossing it around for a bit, I decided to use a layout from the current catalog....page 81....as a starting point. You'll see that my card isn't exactly like that one but very similiar----you have to LOVE that book for all it offers right?!!

Well, that's it for me right now! I need to get moving so I'm not late to see Dr. Rey......in case I don't get to create anything myself; I'll probably be sharing some of our swaps tomorrow. I know that there's going to be some great cards!! Thanks so much for stopping by and have a great rest of the day!

Sick Day....

Hi Everyone!
Yep, just as my blog title says....I'm a bit under the weather today so no card post for me. My Etsy Post will go live tomorrow though and hopefully I'll be feeling better by Sunday. I just wanted to post a quick note to say HELLO to my readers & not to worry.

I hope you all have a great rest of the day!!

Flutter By & a Sketch....

Happy Thursday Everyone!
I'm so happy that it's close to the weekend....despite the dreery, rainy weather we're having. It's a great day and I hope you're having a fab day too!!!

My creation is for Danni's Flutter By Challenge to use a butterfly or fairy along with any sketch you want. I chose to use Inspirational Card Sketches for my card.....I think it ROCKS!!! I'm delighted to be able to play along with them again this week as I think they're so much fun! Thanks for a great challenge ladies & I'm looking forward to the next one!!!

You should also note that I used my new In Color Soft Suede again with Apricot Appeal & the matching ribbon. Yes, that's the other side of the Polka Dot Soft Suede Ribbon.....isn't it fabulous to have the option of a solid color or polka dots?!! These 2 colors go great together IMO and that you're going to LOVE having the new In Colors since they blend so well with our regular SU! colors. I can only imagine all the different color combos we can intermix & the fun coming up with them....you know that AHA moment ROFLOL!!!

Well, I have another busy day ahead of me so I better get crackin'. Thanks so much for stopping by and have a great rest of the day!

Color Throwdown Wednesday....

Happy Wednesday Everyone!
I've had a busy but good day so far....I hope you're all having a great day as well!

My card is for the Color Throwdown challenge to use Certainly Celery, Bashful Blue, So Saffron & Brocade Blue. Not a bad combo....very springy actually but it was kind of hard to not make a baby card LOL! Mine isn't *for* a baby but it's definitely *soft* KWIM & I LOVE it!!

I *found* another challenge blog while I was blurfing yesterday. It's called the Sweet Shop and their sketches are great. I think I'll be playing along with this challenge for a while since I LOVE sketches.....they really know how to make a card come together for me. Thanks so much for the challenge ladies & can't wait for the next one!!

Well, we need groceries, I need to start on my projects for my Open House & I'm making prototypes for my Convention swaps......needless to say that I'll be busy but I'll be back tomorrow. Thanks so much for stopping by and have a great rest of the day!

2 Sketches 4 You Tuesday....

Good Morning Everyone!
My post for today is featuring the 2 Sketches 4 You sketch. It's not too overly done or multi-layered which was a real stretch for me but I must say that the final result is starting to grow on my good side!! I used 2 more In Colors--Soft Suede & Crushed Curry along with my retiring Kiwi Kiss & Good Morning Sunshine DSP.....don't you just love how all these colors just blend in with each other! I'm also lovin' the fact that we now have polka dot ribbon to match this year's colors---I guess I'll be buying a LOT more to hoard for future use LOL!!!

You'll note the Kind & Caring Thoughts ss again. I like the shadow effect and the depth technique that I used on here.....very effective & makes the perfect birthday card for my husband. He doesn't mind flowers as long as it's toned down but who knows; I may change my mind as the week goes on since I really LOVE the card I made last Saturday. We'll just have to wait and see!!!

I need to get moving since I'm having class today. I like to make sure I have everything in order before everyone arrives so I better get crackin'! Thanks so much for stopping by and have a great rest of the day!!!

Mojo Monday....

Happy Monday Everyone!
I hope you all had a great weekend. Mine was wonderful.....spent most of my time *studying* my new catalog LOL! I can't wait 'til it goes live....there's lots of accessories that are a MUST HAVE!!!!!

Anywhooo, onto my post. My card is using Julee's Mojo Sketch and while putting this together....I really didn't think it would come out cute at all. To my surprise; I kind of like it. I decided to use one of the new In Colors Melon Mambo---it's quickly becoming my new fave color---with a retiring Pink Pirouette & black for my color balancer. I stamped on my Pink Pirouette background & I think that looks pretty good---I really wanted to use the new Razzleberry Lemonade DSP but I need to make a few mini albums for Convention first. In case you're wondering what stampset that is; it's one of the new Level 3 Hostess Sets called Kind & Caring Thoughts and I bet you can guess why I picked it......yep, the flowers and all the words that comes with it!!! I may be using this one quite a bit since it's the only new stampset I have right now.....yes, I'm waiting on the rest of my goodies to show up. It's fine though, I'm pretty distracted LOL!!!!

I have to get ready for class tomorrow so I better get moving! Thanks so much for stopping by and have a great rest of the day!!!

Jazzy Inspirations & Etsy Time......

Good Saturday Morning Everyone!
It's that time again....yep another double dose of DT work LOL!
This card is for the Jazzy Inspirations challenge to use dark green, dark purple, gray & white. I chose Elegant Eggplant, Garden Green, Whisper White & Basic Gray for my color choices. I also used the sketch from Paper Blooms to help it all come together & I must say that I really LOVE the final result! I think it looks quite elegant despite the colors we had to use. Be sure to check out the Jazzy blog for all the other DT creations & that's where you'd link your creation for a chance to be the Jazz Cat of the week. Good Luck!!!





This is my Etsy Inspired card and wait 'til you *peek* at this week's shop! It's called Chicy Creations and her things are just too stinkin' cute!!! She has all kinds of beautiful hair bows amongst other things that will really inspire you so be sure to check it out! This week's lucky winner will receive an absolutely gorgeous hair pin!! You can see it here....isn't it beautiful!!!!

My creation focuses on the colors from the pretty hair ribbons above and since I used a fairy; it also qualifies for the Flutter by Wednesday challenge. I'm always *looking* at it but don't always get to participate so I was thrilled when I was cleaning & found this image---don't know where I got it but she's adorable! I'm also featuring the sketch from Inspirational Card Sketches....yep 3 challenges on 1 card! Not bad & I think that just makes life so much easier!!!

I'll leave you with the awesome eye candy from the rest of the DT. Make sure you stop by and leave them some love!!

SCS Sketch Card....

Good Friday Morning Everyone!
I have a question for you all.....do you think that the weather effects how you make your cards? I mean it's been unseasonably cool & rainy here in Bourbonnais, IL. I'm starting to feel like we skipped summer & went straight to fall LOL!!

I made this card for the sketch challenge over on SCS & when I first saw it; I was completely stumped! Then after taking a break, I was finally able to put this together using scraps from my *mighty* stash!! I think that's the one thing that really appealed to me about this sketch.....once I could concentrate......it lends itself for the use of scraps & I'm sure we could all benefit from getting rid of some of our scrap stash!!!

I'll leave with saying that the new catalog is AMAZING & I can't wait to get my hands on some more Big Shot Dies!!! I may not be able to show you any parts of the catty but I can show you some sneak peek stuff.....give me a minute to unglue myself and I'll share something with you!

2 Sketches 4 You creation....

Happy Thursday Everyone!!!
My card for today is for 2 Sketches 4 You and I just love Laura's sketch....maybe because it allowed me to use my most fave punch--Eyelet Border! Ever since I bought this thing; I haven't been able to put it down......I'm starting to think my scallop edge punch is feeling a bit neglected LOL!!!

I also took the liberty of using more of my In Color cs--Kiwi Kiss & my retiring DSPs Bella Rose & Rockabilly. I'm really going to miss that glossy paper & I can only hope that the new catalog will have some more fabulous DSPs for me to drool over!!

Speaking of the new catalog; mine will be here sometime today so if I'm not answering my phone or checking emails.....you know why! I plan on being completely absorbed in that thing & more than likely the rest of my goodies will grow mold before I focus on them!!!!! With that said; I'm off to stalk Mr. Brown!

Color Throwdown & a Sketch 2

Happy Wednesday!
It's Color Throwdown time peeps & even though the colors weren't a hard choice....I had a hard time using the green galore with the chocolate chip & pink passion! I decided to use one of my retiring sets Happy Heart Day---love that elephant!---and colored a couple of the hearts with my green galore marker. I think it came out OK!!

My creation is also using the sketch from the Sketch & Stash blog. My stash items are the flowers which I've been hoarding since FOREVAH!! I received them from a very good cyber friend of mine from Florida---wasn't that sweet of her?!! I also used some of my Kaiser Pearls to finish my card off. I really *heart* those things and tend to not use them so I appreciate the push ladies!!

I'm going to work on my card for a sketch challenge I want to enter.....I really need to concentrate since you're not allowed to combine any other challenges with it. Talk about brain power LOL!! Thanks so much for stopping by and have a great rest of the day!!!

Mojo Monday on Tuesday LOL!!

Happy Tuesday Everyone!
I am so happy to be creating today! It has felt like FOREVER but it was only 3 days ago!!! Yesterday was truly busy with all the SU! stuff retiring, class and having lunch with my kiddos for their last day of school. It was truly a fun but very hectic day!!

Onto my card for the day! I love the Mojo Sketches & truly enjoyed coming up with this card! Notice that I'm using the retiring In Color Pink Pirouette, ribbon & Bella Rose DSP on my creation....you'll continue to see the In Colors as I've vowed to use up as much of this stuff as I possibly can LOL! I hope you don't mind!!! I also enjoyed using my Sticky Sweets for the first time....talk about an easy way to add glitter! Peel, stick, peel again and dump whatever you're using on there.....love these sheets and will be buying more!!

Convention is coming in August and I'm signed up for a *few* swaps that I'll be working on.....some I can't show you until the new catalog goes live on July 1st but I will be posting *regular* things like the challenges I LOVE to participate in and maybe my general swaps once I narrow down what I'm going to create!!

*See* you tomorrow! Thanks so much for stopping by and have a great rest of the day!!!
