For My Mom-FS#51

Happy Mother's Day!! I hope you have a fabulous day spent with your loved ones. Kirsten and I ended up going to emerg this morning as her cough keeps getting worse and she can't sleep at night because she's up coughing all night, so we went this morning after breakfast and they put her on an inhaler and it seem s to work pretty good so far. She just needs it when she is having a coughing fit, but it only takes a minute or so to start working, so that's good.



I used Friday's Anniversary sketch from the Friday Sketchers blog for my layout and a gorgeous Whiff Of Joy image from the Spring Stamp Kit by Elisabeth Bell I believe, anyway, it is Willow with Flowers. . I used my new Label 4 nesties, love them and also some fabulous Prima flowers I got from Roses On Paper. Summer is fabulous over at ROP and shipping was super reasonable...considering it comes from Hawaii and it came within a week. I had a gift cert from Lim's blog candy a while back to use, so I used it up (and then some) and love these flowers.

Here's the inside as well and the back. I love the sentiment from Little Paper Shop.



This card is for my Mom and I will give it to her hopefully this week. My parents are down at their property in Sandpoint, so they won't be home until tomorrow:-) Lance, Kirsten & Landon gave me a fabulous wishing well that I have had my eye on for a while, I love it!! It looks exactly like this one...

Well off I go to relax with my kiddos. I hope you have a fabulous day!

Raining Love & Birthday Wishes-FS 43

This is the card I made for my sisters birthday...I really hope she doesn't check my blog this morning..I don't think she will, so I should be ok. Anyway, I used yesterday's sketch from Carole over on the Friday Sketcher blog for my layout and the lovely Parisian Breeze paper by SU. I love this paper, the colors and the texture and the weight is just wonderful! The image and sentiment are by Whiff of Joy.

I added liquid glass to the rain drops and used my stardust glitter pen for some shimmer on the bottom flourishes on her pants. Used my Copics to color some Prima hydrangeas to match and added some CTMH chocolate brads. I did finished the inside as well but forgot to take pictures of it.

Just a short and sweet post today and I just got the kiddos out of the tub and need to get them dressed and then need to get myself ready as well!

Thanks for visiting and I hope you have a wonderful weekend!

I'm So Glad There's You~Willow

A major blog tart is up for grabs over at Jen Del Muro's I heart 2 Stamp blog. Here is a little blurb from Jen's blog about the fantastic cause:

"So here’s the deal…
Fellow North Texan and Splitcoaster Julie Carlisle {afancycat on SCS} works in the International Student Services Department at Dallas Baptist University {DBU}. They have students from over 50 countries at the University that they give cards to. I have donated several cards to her in the past and she was one of the first people that came to mind when I decided I wanted to do this blog tart giveaway, as she is always so sweet and grateful."

Please head on over and check out all of the details. Remember there is one post with all of the details and once you have followed all of the rules, head over to the Official Entry post.

This is the card I made specifically to send, but will tuck a couple of extras in for them to send out as well.

I made this card not only for the blog tart, but for this weeks Sketch Saturday Challenge #34 as well. It was fun sketch and one that I'll definitely use again!! I used Willow with her cup of hot chocolate/tea/coffee, whatever you like from Whiff Of Joy and the sentiment is from Aud Design. All of the papers are from a best occasion stack I got from my sister for Christmas. It's a great stack with lots of fun papers and embellies, great colors too!!

On another note, I was lucky enough to win last weeks A Spoon Full of Sugar challenge!!! Yay, I can't wait to get my fun Alota stamps!!

I hope you have a fabulous evening!! Thank you for swinging by!!

Made by Kirsten just for Garrett

As I mentioned in my last post (Jan 1), Kirsten has her card finished for Garrett and has been on my case because I hadn't taken a picture of it yet. I thought I would get that done tonight and post it here. She loves my blog and will be excited to see her card on here tomorrow.

Kirsten used Julee's Mojo Monday Sketch #67 for her creation. She used a Whiff Of Joy stamp and colored it in with her assortment of Crayola Pip-Squeak markers. I cut the paper for her and helped her with the adhesive and ribbon, but she colored the image all on her own and picked the papers she wanted to use...for some reason, she always picks brand new papers that have never been used before!! I do have a stash of scraps and some of which are half a sheet or more, but she liked these ones because I had several that all matched. She likes matchy matchy things!

Without further ado, here is her fabulous card (if I may say so myself, I am very proud of her!)

I am just finishing up mine and then will get it posted here as well...probably tomorrow. Lance is watching a scary movie and I don't do scary movies, so when this is over we are watching my kind of show....a chick flick, romantic comedy, whatever, just nothing that will make me have bad dreams!!

Have a super weekend and thank you so much for visiting!

First Card of 2009~ Mojo Monday Sketch#67

Happy 2009!!

I had a chance to play this afternoon and get crackin' on the start of birthday cards I will be sending out in the next couple of weeks. Here is one I made using Julee's Mojo Monday Sketch #67. Kirsten also made a card using this same sketch, but it's for Garrett , so I will share those together when I am finished mine:-) Mojo Monday now has it's own blog...check it out.

I used a Whiff of Joy stamp, who by the way has a new release Jan 3rd....I stamped this lovely gal whose name I totally forget right now..Melinda I think. Anyways, she is stamped on SU shimmery white cardstock and colored in with Copics...I love this paper with Copics, thanks Dawn! I think you can see the shimmery from the CS a wee bit in this pict. The rest of the paper is from CTMH and is called More To Adore and I absolutely love it!! The sentiment and ribbon is CTMH too.

That's all for me for tonight. lance has recorded a movie, so we are going to go and watch it. Have a super night and thanks so much for stopping by!!

Birthday Wishes for Abby

It was my niece Abby's 12th birthday on Friday and this is the card I made just for her!

I used a sketch by Heather Huggins that was for a Whiff of Joy challenge I beleive. I did use a Whiff of Joy stamp too, she's so pretty!! I really love this paper from CTMH too, it's called Perfect Day. The sentiment and oval stamp are from verve Visual and the little metal tokens are from CTMH. I used my Happy Birthday CB folder and ran the Juniper piece through the CB, added some wee little rhinestones to the right of the image and used my stardust gliter pen on the flourishes of her pants.

Landon has a terrible cough and runny nose, Kirsten still has a lingering cough and I have a rotten head cold!! I was hopeing to get my Christmas shopping finished up yesterday but it was -34 C here, so along with the fact I wanted to saty in bed all day, I didn't go anywhere. I am hoping to get it all done this weekend...which I know is going otbe crazy out there, but oh well!!

I hope you are all in the holiday mode!! Thanks for visiting, come back soon!!

~Kelly

P.S. To my secret sister out there...I am so stumped as to who you are, but THANK YOU so much, I am looking forward to broswing their collections of stamps and doing some shopping!! I love the e-cards too...at first I thought it was some rotten spam until I figured it out!!

Now to the secret sister I am to send to, bare with me, I haven't gone anywhere, but hope to get out on Wednesday if I feel better and I will get your package sent off then....it may be a tad later that I had originally planned, but it'll be there!!

Whiff Of Joy Challenge # 3

Well for some reason or another time ran away on me and I wasn't able to participate in the first 2 challenges, but I managed to get the 3rd one done today! So for the Whiff of Joy Challenge #3, it was a fantastic sketch by Heather. My image is a bit big, so you can't see all the other layers as well, but I really love this paper, which by the way was an awesome RAK from the oh-so-very-talented Dawn-Treasure Oiler Designz.

I finished the inside of this card as well because I really wanted to put a sentiment on it and ran out of room on the front. I used All Occasions by Little Paper Shop, which is such a versatile set, I love it!!

I made this card for my sister Kristy who just got engaged on Friday!! Congratulations Kristy & Jason!! I'm so excited and can't wait to see her "rock" tonight!! She sometimes checks out my blog, but hopefully today won't be one of those days...if so, just be surprised tonight when I give it to you ok!!

We are off to my parents for the night as we (my Dad, Kim, Kristy, Jason and myself) are going to see Johnny Reid in concert. I'm quite excited as he is playing 3 sold out shows and it is a small venue, only 500 people, so it will be awesome!! We have dinner reservations first and then the concert and my Mom is hanging out with Kirsten & Landon, so they'll have a hoot too!!

Have a super day and thanks for visiting!

Double Challenge~ SC194 & A Spoon Full of Sugar

I just finished up my card for this weeks SC194 sketch as well as the challenge over at A Spoon Full of Sugar . The Spoon Full challenge for this week was to make a Christmas card, so luckily I was already heading in that direction with this weeks sketch challenge and was able to combine them. Voila...here's my finished card!

I used Charlotte and her cute kitty from Whiff of Joy and colored them in with my Copics, added some stickles, dew drops and a pretty CTMH snowflake and that's about it. The sentiment is from Whiff of Joy as well and was tucked in with a beautiful snowflake in my last order, thanks Katharina!!

I am definitely learning new things with my Copics. They do not work as well on watercolor paper as they do on Bazzill Coconut Swirl or even SU Whisper White. I have read that Neenah Classic and PTI are great as well as Wasau paper, so I'm going to continue my experimenting, but I do LOVE them!!

Thank you for visiting today!! Have a wonderful evening!!

SC193~Snowball Fight!!

I had a chance to play with this week's sketch over at SCS! Here is what I came up with using Charlie from Whiff of Joy.

I used my Swiss Dots CB folder to emboss the front of the card, then colored Charlie in with my CTMH Markers. I applied Liquid Applique and white fun flock to the snow and snowballs and waited overnight for it to dry (because that's what the instructions said and this is the first time I have used it...) and then heated it up this morning. I love the way it puffed up! Here's a close up...hopefully you can see the puffy, fuzzy snow...

The sentiment from High Hopes is actually stamped in the same blue ink as his hat and jeans are colored in, but the picture doesn't show it quite like that for some reason.

That's all I have for today...am hoping once the kiddos are in bed for the night that I can get some cards or at least a card done!

Thank you for visiting!!

Trimming the Tree

I finally had a chance to ink up my Whiff Of Joy stamps...my goodness, I love them!! I am hoping to have my new ones this week as well...I checked yesterday and they weren't there, so I hope they will be by Friday!!

Anyway, onto the card.. I used Charlotte Decorating the Tree from Whiff of Joy as well as a sketch from my friend Nikki for this week's A Spoon Full Of Sugar Challenge. It's a super sketch, go and check it out...AND while you're over there visiting, she is also celebrating 20 000 hits and has some fabulous blog candy up for grabs!!

I used lots of stickles on here too...red for the garland on the tree, the holly berries in her hair and a couple of ornaments and then stardust for the star on top and the remaining ornaments. I love how it turned out...just don't seem to have patience for the stickles to dry!!

Thanks for stopping by today, I'm off to get supper going:-)
