True Love's Kiss.....

Hello & Happy Friday crafty Peeps!

This week flew right by! Luckily for

me I only had to work Yesterday & Today - :)

Man... When you take a vacation and get back to work

your body knows it! LOL Hopefully I'll be better this 

next week, I just gotta get my groove back - 

the price you pay for enjoying time off I guess! HA! :) 

With Valentine's Day being the next Holiday coming up

I thought I would share a sweet Card I created for

the occasion --

This was fairly simple to make since I used my

Hugs & Kisses (Simple Stories) Paper Collection

The Card stock is Stampin' Up, American Crafts, & Bazzill

I used the Wonky Stitch Die from Avery Elle

a Wilton 4" Lace Doily and of course some

Clear Wink of Stella Glitter pen!

The Stars were punched out with my SU small Star Punch

Perfect for the ones you love! :)

I'm gonna rest up this weekend since I have a long

work week next week - Thanks for stopping

by and have a FANTASTIC WEEKEND!!!

Big HUGS!

Mistletoe Kisses --

Hello & Happy Thursday Everyone!

Today, I'm sharing my first Christmas card

for 2017! I actually made 2 of these cards...

I probably won't make 2 of each of my cards

but some of them I will - this one was easy to

reproduce, so it was worth it -- :)

I used the Verve June 2016 Sketch to create this card -

The Designer Paper & Embellishments are Simple Stories (Mistletoe Kisses Collection) - I used my Wink of Stella Glitter pen on the

candies and holly/berry

Stitched Card Mat Die - My Favorite Things

Cardstock is Stampin' Up & American Crafts

I used Dimensionals to pop up the candies

I think this is a FUN Non-Traditional Holiday card! :)

Thanks so much for stopping by!

Have a Wonderful Day!

Birthday Celebration --

Hello & Happy Tuesday everyone!

Happy, Happy New Year! I'm back from my vacation

and ready to start the New Year off right! :)

I had a wonderful Christmas with my family and got some AWESOME

Crafting goodies that I have yet to try out! Along with a FANTASTIC

visit with my sister - We went clothes shopping! 

I had a ball, seemed to fly by to fast for me though, but that's

okay.... it was really nice to just disconnect from the internet

for a couple of weeks.... I honestly didn't miss it - especially

Facebook! Talk about time consuming! UGH! :)

I found some free time yesterday and left you some

blogging love - I couldn't leave a comment on each post,

but I did let you know I checked out your blogs to see what

I had been missing - some of you where very busy while

others took a nice break as well - I spent all day doing it, 

but it was well worth the visits to your blogs! :)

So... it's a new year - and I've decided to step down

as a Design Team member from KaDoodle Bug Designs

I LOVED everything about that team, but feel I need to focus

on making what I want when I want too... This thought may change

of course as I love being apart of a team - But for now...

I'm happy with my decision! :)

I've also decided to try and make 1 Christmas card a week

this year! Doesn't matter what day - just as long as it's 1 holiday card 

a week! I really enjoyed being more prepared this past holiday

and want to try to be a little more prepared this New Year! :)

Today, I thought I would share a Birthday card I made for

the school that I work at - I told you in another post that I

offered to make Birthday cards for the Teachers & Staff

which I'm enjoying of course - So here's one I made --

I'm using a Viva La Verve Sketch - I believe it's Oct. 2016 and

I turned it on it's side - 

The Designer Papers & Embellishments are from

Simple Stories (Let's Party) collection

Lg. Stitched Card Mat Die - My Favorite Things

Smaller Stitched Mat Die - Craftin Desert Diva's

Card stock is Stampin' Up & American Crafts

I was going for a masculine card for the male staff members -

It took a lot out of me NOT to use my Wink of Stella Glitter Pen! LOL

Thanks so much for stopping by!

Have a FANTASTIC DAY!!
