Great Blog!



Congrats I will email you to get your choices!

Special 9/11 Blog Hop-Never Forget!

Welcome to our special 9/11 Blog Hop with The Stamping Boutique we are honouring those that are fighting the war after the affects of 9/11. If you have come here from Collette's Blog you are on the right track!

Operation Write Home collects cards made by stampers/cardmakers from all over the world, these cards are used by the troops to send home to their friends and loved ones. This is a cause very near and dear to my heart, as I was involved in a similar project through the Cricut MB called Cards for Soldiers. I was a shipper for several years for the Central time zone until recently until my life just got too busy. The cards and letters received from those that I sent packages to on behalf of the team of men/women that sent cards to me was overwhelming, it's amazing how something so simple that we all take for granted can help our troops and put smiles on their faces. I always got these tremendous thank you's for sending cards, when we should be the one thanking them for all they do1 It's really does help boost moral, so please think about sending those cards to someone that can use them and would definitely appreciate your efforts!

For my card today I chose to work with the ribbon image, which you can grab over at TSB Challenge Blog. I colored the image with copis and found this paper in my stash, cardstock is CTMH. The black stars are bling that I got at Michael's and I wrote Never Forget on the ribbon. On the inside of my card, I printed this poem on vellum that I found here.



How about a little candy? Leave me a comment and I will randomly pick someone to win 3 digi images from The Stamping Boutique! Now head on over to Debbie's Blog to see her wonderful project!

Welcome to our blog hop today, if you came here from Ashley's blog you are on the right track. IF you came here first you will want to start at the Kym's blog.

Now you will want to head over to April's blog to see her fantastic creation. Don't forget it's Digi Day tomorrow night over at the TSB group on SNR Card Universe, fun starts at 7 pm CST!

Well I have had a crazy day and my oldest son, Micah has 8th grade graduation tonight which cut into my crafting time. We are also heading out of town as we speak for a mini vacation to Georgetown, KY to visit some old friends. So I have been feverishly trying to put something together using the adorable new Audrey image below, however my printer is not working now and I cannot get it fixed. UGHHH, why does this always happen!


So what I would like to do is look at this lil' cutie and leave me a comment telling me " What is your fave summer activity and why"- I will randomly draw a commenter to receive 5 free TSB images of their choice!

Now that you have left your comment, please head over to Tammy's blog.

Have a great holiday weekend and be Safe!

Spring Blog Hop with The Digi Shack!

Welcome to our Spring Blog Hop! Last night was the GRAND RE-OPENING of The Digi Shack with a new website being released as well as a new design team and new images. What better way to kick things off than by hoppin' along and meeting the talented new DT gals!

If you happened upon my blog 1st, please head over to The Digi Shack- main page to start from the beginning. If you came here from Christina's blog you are on the right track.

Now for the hop the DT will be featuring different challenges, we hope that you will play along and there will be a prize for one lucky person on my blog as well as a prize for "TDS Biggest Fan" for those that complete challenges set by DT! For my card, I decided to feature a free standing pop-up card and you can see a tutorial
here. I chose to use this adorable bunny image and added some texture by using scrap of t-shirt fabric and applying a little Copic colorless blending solution. THANK YOU Sally Lynn for teaching this to us at Copic Certification class I took a couple weeks ago! Added some bling to flowers, computer generated sentiment, and some ribbon-WA LA!

Leave me a little love for one chance and show me those free standing pop-up cards for a extra chance to win a prize from little ole' me! Now head on over to Deanne's blog to see what she has in store for you!

We will be celebrating Valentines day by writing a special love letter to the love of our lives! It can be your husband, boyfriend, mother, sister, daughter or son, or a loved one who is no longer with us. Michelle graciously provided us her "love letter fairy" stamp to work with. She is flying around the world delivering love letters! (and candy hearts here and there, too!:)

For my card, I used this yummy Paper Company paper from the Huggs & kisses line called Swirly hearts that I got from Archiver's. The ribbon I have had for some time, got it at Target in the $1 section, added some bling, and a little Martha Stewart heart border punch. I am going to send this to my hubs Grandpa Ollie, we just lost Gma in Decemebr right before Christmas and she was a very special part of our family. I want him to know we are all thinking of him during his time and shower him with some love! I am still working on coming up with just the right words to comfort him.

Thank you for stopping by and leaving me some LOVE, now head on over to Sarah's Blog to contniue the hop!

For my first card, I used the broomstick image and paper pieced it, I used a punched out scalloped circle to create my clouds. I also used same technique to add some cloud to inside of my card. Sentiment is computer generated and I used Cuttlebug for a little embossing.

For my 2nd card I used the mask image and "blinged" it up! I embossed the mask with Cuttlebug Swiss dots folder and then pulled out my stickles to make it sparkle. Sentiment is from one of those $1 Studio G sets.
