Elegant Friends....

Hello & Happy Easter Weekend Everyone!

I'm already over at the other place working my

little heart out with NO Internet again! 

It should be coming soon! They called us, so hopefully, someone will

be out here to put in a cable - They did say that they would just place

it through a window for now - They don't want their workers coming into

the house - Which is okay with me as long as we get

some internet service out here I'll be happy! 

Here's another card I made a while back using

a card front from a card kit I found at Tuesday Morning -

The Card kit just had white cards designed with silver foil images on them -

Of course, I took it up a notch or two by doing some ink blending -

I used 3 different shades of Distress Oxides and then I cleaned

my ink off the silver foiled floral design - It looks so pretty

I used my favorite Stitched Rectangle Frame die from My Creative time

I wanted the background to stand out of course - So I just

die-cut the Friends Frame die from (Papertrey Ink) in some SIlver

Foil cardstock - Then I die cut a banner from (Lawn Fawn) and

used silver embossing powder on the sentiment Stamp from (MFT)

I then added some Clear Lucy's card gems to finish it up!

It is popped up with some Fun Foam on a Neenah Solar White Cardbase

I wish you all a Very Happy and Safe Easter Weekend!!!

Happy Birthday Video...

Hello & Happy Wednesday Everyone!

How's your week going so far? I actually have a short

week this week - With Easter coming up this weekend 

we're taking an extra day or 2 off to go drive to the other house -

My hubby needs his medicine, food, New Glasses, and

test kit, so we're trekking down to help him out and work on

the other place - Luckily it's in the middle of nowhere

so we don't have to worry about other people being close by -

- Homes out there are 1 1/2 to 4 acres apart -

I'm hoping to get more work done, since our move is nearing closer -

When I was there back in February, I meet a neighbor (2 streets over)

and she had heard from my husband that I made cards - 

She asked me if I would make some for her grandkids -

Of course, I said YES! One of her granddaughters

LOVES to play video games and likes the color purple

so I created this card with her in mind -

I thought this turned out pretty cool and so did she!

They don't have much for girls who play video games, so I had to kind

of design my own thing - 

Cardstock - Papertrey ink, Neenah Solar White, SU

Watercolor Digital Designer Paper - Silhouette Store

Stitched Rectangle Frame Die - My Creative Time

VersaMark Ink, SSS Ultra Fine White Embossing Powder, Heat Tool

Glossy Accents for the Buttons (Was still wet when I took the picture)

Video Controller images and Sentiment Stamps are from:

Papertrey ink (Game On) & Pretty Cute Stamps (Game On)

Stormy Trendy Twine 

Game Controller SVG File - Silhouette Store (#79637)

Banner Die - My Favorite Things

Fun Foam, Misti tool, Canon IP8720 Printer

This is how I did the inside - I used 2 different shades of grey ink for the sentiment

She hasn't given it to her granddaughter yet - but said she thinks

she'll love it too!

Have a safe and Happy Day!!

You are a Lifesaver...

Hello & Happy Monday Everyone!

How was your weekend? Did you craft? Bake?

Take a walk? Play games? Binge-watch TV?

All of the above? hahaha

ME? Well, I did take a nice 40-minute walk with my son -

No one was out, and it was like 74 degrees outside and

I was like... Ummm, yeah we need to take a walk -

We stayed in the center of the road and went up and down a few hills

It felt good to exercise and get some fresh air -

Then I cleaned my house! :) Did some Laundry and Baked 2 loaves of fresh bread -

I also caught up on some TV shows I like to watch and watched

a Disney Movie (Onward) :) - It was a nice relaxing weekend - :)

But I'm back to work today - Gotta finish up cleaning the school! :)

Last year I had gotten a really neat Digital Paper collection kit

from My Memories (Sailing) and I designed this card - 

I finally put it together a couple of weeks ago and I LOVE the way it turned out!

Cardstock - Bazzill White, Stampin' Up Kraft, Bo Bunny

Hello Rainbow...

Hello and Happy Friday Everyone!

Yay! The weekend has come back around again!

It's been another long week of cleaning! There really is
only so much cleaning I can do. Our students' items are
still at the school, so I may be looking at some time off?
Ooh, well... I do have some packing to do, so I could get
that done? Not really sure what to do with myself... UGH

In the meantime, I have a super quick easy card to show ya -

This fun 5 minute CAS card was made in my Silhouette Program -

The Rainbow hello image design is from the Silhouette Store (#290771)

It's actually a whole card you can print out -

But as with anything I didn't do it quite like that -

I just wanted the image front so I printed that part out and

printed out a matching blue backer that's behind my image -

Then I cut it out using my Square Stitched Dies from Lawn Fawn

and popped it up with some fun foam for dimension

I added some Sparkle Shimmer Mist spray 

and placed it onto a Neenah Solar white 5 x 5 card base

I was thinking of adding some tiny clear adhesive gems but forgot to do

that before taking the picture!

Have a Happy & Safe Weekend!!
