Celebrate YOU!


Hello everyone! Welcome back to my blog - today is the last Wednesday of the month, so that means it's my turn to share on the the Coffee Loving Cardmakers Blog.


Last Thursday I attended an income tax course in the city and decided to head up to my friend, Leanne's, for the weekend right after the course and we got our craft on! It was so nice to share some card-making crafty mojo with her and some down time before the craziness of income tax season hits me in a few days :)


I started with this cute cup from Sunny Studio called "Mug Hugs" and the Celebrate You die is from Stampin' Up! I used the sketch from CAS(E) this Sketch and the color challenge from Rubber Dance Art Stamps:




Thank you so much for stopping in today to see what I've created for you this Wednesday...have a wonderful day - CHEERS!

Merry Monday #279 {Poinsettias}


Welcome back to my blog! This week at Merry Monday Christmas Card Challenge, miss JoAnn is our hostess and she's looking for us to use "poinsettias" on our cards:


I attended an income tax course on Thursday in the city and decided to make a long weekend excursion out of it and came to see my bestie, Leanne! I am having the extreme pleasure of crafting with her in her awesome crafty space and she's been so gracious to let me use all her supplies! 

GIRLS WEEKEND!!!! :)


For my card, I let the designer paper do most of the work for JoAnn's challenge - it's so gorgeous! I then added a "merry" die and Christmas sentiment using the stamp/die set from Hero Arts called "Merry."


Thanks so much for stopping in today - be sure to hop on over and see what the rest of the Merry Makers have created using JoAnn's "poinsetta" challenge! Cheers!

Paper Sweeties February 2018 Blast from the Past


Welcome back to another Blast from the Past from Paper Sweeties! For my card today, I wanted to incorporate Valentine's Day so I made this card for my hubby who is away trucking right now so will receive it at a later date....


I started out with the "With Love" heart Sweet Cuts and some sweet, pretty designer papers. I hand stitched around the borders of the papers and then used our Sweet Borders to put my sentiment from Hello Friend on with white embossing powder. Very CAS but I love how it turned out! 


Please be sure to check out what the rest of my Paper Sweeties team mates have created for you for our February Blast from The Past:


Thanks for stopping in and we'll be back tomorrow with some more blasts from the past - for you all! Cheers!

Paper Sweeties: February Blast from the Past!


Welcome back to another Blast from the Past from Paper Sweeties! For my card today, I wanted to take you back to the card I made for the 2017 Fall Coffee Lovers Blog Hop using some of my favorite Paper Sweeties goodies! Anyone who knows me, knows that I am a big time coffee lover so this card is yet another of my favorites from PS! 


I started out with my "With Love" heart Sweet Cuts then cut out my cute coffee cup with my "Keep Calm and Drink Coffee" Sweet Cuts. The steam was cut from Crumb Cake using "Homemade With Love" Sweet Cuts. The sentiment was stamped in brown using a sentiment from "Keep Calm and Drink Coffee" stamp set! I just LOVE how this card came together! :) The sweet sequins are our "Bubblegum" series - adorable!
