Last DT Card for Crafty Muse

Good morning, Everyone! Is everyone ready for the weekend? Time sure flies by in the blink of an eye. Another week gone, just like that! Anyway, on to my card...

This last challenge is a sketch (plus doodling somewhere in your creation) designed by team member, Sarah. We would love for you to join us one last time and there will be some fab prize for the winner!
Details:
Images: Crafty Muse.
Paper: DCWV
Embellishment: Gems

It's All About Shopping!

Hi!

I made this card for the Club Anya's Club Couture challenge and it didn't come out the way I hoped. It looks kind of weird. I don't know, I can't explain it. I am really not sure about this one. What do you think?

Well, what's done is done so I am posting this anyway. I share some of my nicer work so why not some not-so-good ones. lol


Thanks for looking!

Friends are like Flowers + FREEBIE!

Hello, Everyone!

I am so into The Greeting Farm lately! Linda sent me some stamped images a few weeks ago and I just love the Miss Anya collection so much! I put an order in and it came the very next day! Wow! You will be seeing a lot of these stamps. :D

I was giving my blog a makeover yesterday and was all into the computer so I played around some more today. For today's card, I used one of my own drawings along with Miss Anya. I like the 3D effects so I used sticky foams and "pop" Miss Anya, her basket, a couple of the flowers and the butterfly. I made the sentiment myself as well, using Photoshop. Since this card is about friendship and friends are about sharing, I decided to give everyone the flower and sentiment to play with. So, if you like it, feel free to use them. Don't forget to link me your creation so I can check it out! I would love to see what you come up with!

I know, you are probably wondering what are the challenges this card is for. lol Here they are:
1. The Greeting Farm: Fluttery Floral. Oh you have got to check out their site! They are releasing a new set of Miss Anya (Dressy set)!
2. Roses on Paper: Challenge 17, A Little Love (hearts)
3. Friday Sketchers: the sketch
4. Cute Daisy May: Friends
5. Daring Cardmakers: On the Edge










Thanks for stopping by!

New Template!

Good evening, Everyone! Hope everyone had a great weekend! I didn't do much this weekend, just pretty much stayed home with the kids. They are going so fast!

I didn't make anything today so I don't have anything to share. I did, however, changed my template. Did you notice? Do you like it? I have been working on it for hours! I know it's probably an easy task for some of you but not me. I don't know much about computer so I had to play around a little. Plus, I couldn't make up my mind on whether I want a two column or a three column, so I was switching back and forth. LOL I knew I wanted a top menu so I added that. Like it? :D

Anyway, I have a few projects I need to finish before the end of the week so I better quit playing around for now.

Thanks for stopping by!

Fun Fold

Hello, Everyone! Hope everyone is enjoying the weekend.

I tried something new with today's card. I incorporated two gate-folded cards into one! The actual size of this card is 6x6. Yup, pretty big.

I colored this Sarah Kay image a while back, probably about three weeks ago for the Stampaive challenge but never finished it. For this card, I followed the sketch at Truly Scrumptious, a very fun one. Once the card is opened, a 5.5 x 5.5 gated-folded card is revealed. This idea came from the challenge over at Whimsy Stamps, Fun Fold. I was watching TV last night and this idea just came to mind so of course, I worked on it right away before I forget. Hope you like it and thanks so much for stopping by!



Challenges:
1. Whimsy Stamps: Challenge 11, Fun Fold
2. Truly Scrumptious: the sketch
3. Cute Card Thursday: Eye Eye


Supplies:
Stamps: Sarah Kay
Ink: Mememto
Papers: DCWV
Embellishments: Prima flowers, ribbon, eyelets, gems
Tools/others: Le Plume markers, Martha Stewart lace border punch, eyelet setters, string clasp, flower punches, stickles, fern leave punch

Hello!

I had to push myself to make a card tonight because it bugs me when I have nothing to show or share. I have been kind of disoriented the last couple of days. I have so much to do but yet don't know where to begin. Plus, work is getting hectic again, so many deadlines to meet.

Anyway, Fred She Said is having a freebie challenge and all creations will be judged. I thought I would join in the fun. I like it when a challenge is being judged.

This card is for the following challenges:
1. Fred She Said: Create a card/project with this freebie
2. Stamps and Smiles: the sketch.
3. Papertake Weekly: Take your Pick Color Combi. I chose pink and green
4. A Spoon Full Of Sugar: Swirls. My patterned paper has swirls
5. Creative Card Crew: Polka dots. not sure if you can tell, but the patterned paper has dotty pick flowers. Hope this counts.
6. Creative Inspirations: Distressing.
7. C.R.A.F.T Challenge: Pink and Green
8. Belli Challenge: Metal Tag or anything metal. The heart clip is metal and so is the dragonfly charm.
9. Three Clover: Challenge 23, Bling

Whew. didn't think this card fit so many challenges! Yay!

These are the two cards I made yesterday for the Hero Arts website inspired challenge. I didn't get a chance to play the week before because my babies were sick.

Happy Friday, Everyone! Ready for another fun challenge at Crafty Muse? For the next couple of weeks, our challenge is Photo Inspiration. Whatever this photo inspires you to create, we would love to see them!

For my card, I used strawberry patterned paper. I use Crafty Muse's new collection, Sister and Friend. The sentiment is computer generated which says "Sisters by Chance, Friends by Choice". I followed the sketch from Mojo Monday. Love it! It was so easy to put together! Since Simon Says Stamps' challenge is summer fruits, I might as well submit my card for that too! :D

Have fun creating and I can't wait to see what you come up with!

I Love Making Birthday Cards!

Yup, I do! :D I love to send (and receive of course) Birthday cards so I am always in need of them, that's why. :)


I had a really busy weekend. I didn't get to craft much. I finally went to traffic school this past Saturday. It was actually okay, it wasn't as boring as I thought it would be. I actually enjoyed. I learned quite a few things. Then on Sunday, I went to that stamp show in Carson. It wasn't what I expected but I did get a couple of things. My hubby went with me because he wanted to see what it's like. Well, it's only fair that he did since I usually go to the jewelry shows with him in Vegas. Anyway, on to this card....

I bought this WOJ stamp a little while ago and haven't really gotten a chance to ink it. I love WOJ stamps too. It's the style I love actually. I have a few more so you will be seeing them soon too. :D

I didn't intend to cut the image out originally but because I messed up while using the Cuttlebug, I cut it out and so the whole layout was different than what I had in mind.

This card is for the following challenges:

1. Whiff Of Joy: the sketch.
2. Cute Daisy May: Three of a kind. I have three of the same flowers.
3. Stamp Something: Color combo - pink, green, yellow
4. Crystal's Crafty Creations: My blogging friend, Crystal is celebrating her 10,000 hit and she is having a blog candy with a twist. All you have to do is be a follower and leave her a comment that you've linked her candy. For a second chance, make a celebration card. Check it out! And while you are there, check out her blog! She got some really beautiful, inspirational creations! You won't be disappointed!!


Supplies:

Paper: Nana's Kids' stack, DCWV spring stack

Stamps; WOJ, Hero Arts

Embellishment: Ribbon, gems

Tools: Flower punch, fern leave punch, Le Plume markers, Copic, Cuttlebug, embossing folder

RAK and OCS

I received this adorable card and the Greeting Farm images from Linda. Linda is such a sweet, wonderful, thoughtful person! You will know what I mean once you check out her blog! Thank you, Linda! I will think of you every time I use these images. :D


This is my OCS for July from Berenice all the way from Mexico! She sent me this lovely card along with a sheet of stickers! Thank you so much, Berenice! I apologize, my card is on the way. Hopefully, you will receive it this week.

What an EYE CANDY!!!

One of my blogging sister, Linda, got me into checking out this good looking hunk from Twilight, EDWARD CULLEN. How many of you are into Twilight? Since last year, that's all everyone has been talking about. I am not much of a movie watcher so I still haven't watched the movie. Maybe one of these days...

I thought it would be a change to try something different on my cards. So here it is, a black and white card with a drawing I downloaded from http://www.twilightblog,.net/. This card is pretty simple but I was struggling with it for some reasons. The sentiment is computer generated which reads, "CULLEN BOYS" and on the inside reads, "because they don't make them like that anymore". I made this card into a folder. Folder cards come in handy. Enjoy everyone!

This card is for the following challenges:
1. The Sweet Stop: the sketch
2. Cupcake Craft Challenge #7: Black and White
3. Pollycraft: Arrow
4. A spoon Full of Sugar: Hearts. I used heart buttons



Supplies:
Image: Twilightblog.net
Sentiment: computer generated
Paper: Recollection
Embellishments: Buttons, brads
Tools: Cuttlebug, embossing folders

Sweet Birthday Wishes

Good Friday, Everyone!

My babies are doing much better. Thank you all for leaving me lovely comments. I read them all and appreciate every one of them.

I haven't done much (crafting) this week, just colored a bunch of images for different challenges. I will try to put them in cards soon. I think I kind of lost my mojo. :( Can everyone please help me get it back?

I am using Tilda again. :D I just love them! They are just too cute!

This card is for a few challenges:

1. Simon Says Stamps: Paper Piecing.
2. Papertake: My favorite things. Currently, one of my favorite things is Magnolia stamps.
3. Cute Daisy May: Hot Hot Hot. I used hot colors, plus fruits and bugs patterned paper.
4. Roses On Paper: gatefold card with stitching.
5. Flutter By Wednesday: Buttons and Bows/ribbons along with butterfly or fairy. This Tilda has wings. :)
6. IBS Challenge #3: Summer. I used summery colors.





Supplies: Stamps - Magnolia and Hero Arts Ink - Momento Paper - DCWV, Recollection Embellishment - Ribbon, Buttons Tools - Copic, Le Plume, Nestibilities

Photo Card

Happy Tuesday, Everyone!

Time just flies by so fast. It's another week and Tuesday already! Where does the time go? Last week, Hero Arts had a really cool challenge, PHOTO CARD. This is definitely my first photo card. I know it's similar to a scrapbook page but this is a CARD. It's perfect too since I needed to make a card for my mom's bday. A photo card makes it even more personal, precious, don't you think?

The picture of my son and daughter was taken about a week ago. I made this card on Sunday while they were napping and of course didn't get to post then. Oh, trying to take a picture them together is HARD! This is the only good picture of them together so far. Well, they are little, what do I expect, right? :D

This card fits the following challenges:

1. Pile It On: 3 embellishments
2. Whimsy Stamp: Birthdays
3. The Next Level: Buttons and bows
4. Charisma Cardz: Button
5. Dutch Dare: the sketch
6. Creative Card Crew: ribbons

Tools/Other: Cuttlebug, embossing folder, spellbinder dies

A2 Box

Good Evening, Everyone!

Sorry, I have been MIA for a few days. As I mentioned in my previous post, my daughter has been sick. She had high fever and two blisters so she literally couldn't eat or swallow. Her temperature is normal now but it will take another few days for the blisters to go away. But my son (I think he got it from my daughter) still has the high fever since last night. So if you have kids, you can imagine how worried, how stressful these last few days has been for me and my hubby. We practically had/have no sleep. Anyway....

I made this A2 box since last week but haven't gotten a chance to post until now. I made some cards to go with it but forgot to take picture of them. Oh well... Maybe I will share those some other time.

Once again, I made a ribbon rose. They are just so easy to make. Maybe I am going to make a bunch and share some. :D Hmm...maybe I'll randomly select from my followers. Or if you would like to have a couple, let me know....by email, comment, whatever. I'll send you some.

Okay, for this easy breezy box, I managed to cover a few challenges.
1. Project Tuesday. I think I am late for this challenge. But I have a great time making this box and thank you so much for the wonderful, easy tutorial. I think I am going to link some tutorials on my blog. The ones I like.
2. Stamps and Smiles: This fun sketch.
3. Paperplay Challenge: Paper Roses "Use a flower (or flowers) on your project, but they can't be bought flowers, you have to make them yourself!!!" I know I didn't make my flower with papers. I thought I would submit it and share anyway.
4. DU2DS: Emboss. Yup, I used my embossing folder here.
Supplies:
Papers: DCWV Citrus Stack patterned paper, DCWV Spring Cardstock
Sentiment: digiment
Ink: Momento dew drop (new sprout)
Ennoblement: ribbon, gem brad
Tools/Other: Cuttlebug, embossing folder, circle punch

Thanks for stopping by! As always, I love to know what you think and appreciate your comments.

First DT card for Bee Crafty and Sneak Peek

Happy 4th to everyone in the US!! Hope everyone is having a great day so far! I will try to keep this post short as I need to check on my daughter. She got sick last night with a fever. Poor thing, her first time sick since she was born.

This is my first DT card for Bee Crafty. Woohoo, I am still so excited as a part of Bee's team!

It's Bee Crafty Challenge #8, Things With Wings. I used this cute FAIRY ANGEL FLOATING from Bee's many adorable downloads. I am still loving the paper piecing technique so I did little on the angel's dress. Isn't she adorable in pink?

I am entering this card for:

1. The Next Level. This wonderful sketch. I have been meaning to join their challenges but have not gotten around to it. If you haven't check out their blog, you have got to! Their blog is absolutely "THE NEXT LEVEL"! You have to check it out yourself!!

2. Flutter By Wednesday. It's open theme this week, anything with butterfly or fairy. I love both!

Another Fun Challenge at Crafty Muse!

Good morning, Everyone! Happy Friday! I am starting my long weekend early. Woohoo!! Four days! I don't have any plans this weekend except to a friend's housewarming and maybe traffic school...if I remember to make an appointment. Yup, got a ticket for blocking the intersection last month. So instead of getting some Copic makers which I really really want, I donated a few hundred dollars to the city and it's not even the city I live in! Arrrgg... Anyway....

We have another wonderful sketch (include ribbon and brads) for you to follow for the next two weeks at Crafty Muse. Isn't it great? Sarah, my team mate, designed it!

My card is featuring Angelique sitting on cupcake, one of Crafty Muse's many lovely downloads. I did a little paper piecing (raised it with sticky form as well) on the cupcake to make the card "pop" a little. Has anyone tried paper piecing with digi images? I don't think I've seen any yet. Anyway, all I did was print the image on patterned paper and cut out the part I needed to piece. Very simple. :)

I find this sketch a little challenging but I am happy with how my card turned out. So if you are in for a challenge, hop on over to Crafty Muse and while there, check out the rest of the wonderful DT creations for more inspiration!

Hope everyone likes this card. Thank you so much for looking and stopping by!
