Circus!!

Happy Hump Day, peeps!!!

I am quite excited to show you my card today featuring these wonderful images from Time for Tea Designs. Circus Hoop and Pasquale the Circus Pooch are so awesomely adorable, and were on sale to help raise money for Weston Park Hospital Cancer Charity in England. Jo was able to raise 1600 pounds!

I was quite glad I helped contribute and get these cuties in return. I've always had a warm spot in my heart for Circus-themed things. Ever since my son's first birthday party:).

I saved these papers and stickers from that party. I think my plan was to make thank you cards but I never got around to using them!



Well, I've got to skidaddle on now!

Hope you have a great day!

He makes my dreams come true... or supports me when I strive to do it myself! :)

Hi all!

Well, I finally finished my DH's birthday card. I meant well and finished coloring these Some Odd Girl images a week ago. Genie Gwen and Genie Kody are perfect to depict my hubby and me.



My hubbs is pretty much my best friend. And although, at times, he is resistant to what I want..in the end, I always end up getting it. Because he either gives up or makes my dream come true. Hehehehe! So, yes, the genies are perrrrrrfeecttoooo!



Currently, I am pretty obsessed with setting myself apart from other crafters. What is my style? How can I be more unique? When I couldn't find the exact patterned paper for the card (even though where I stopped to shop -- Paper Tales -- in San Diego was totally cute), I decided to make my own. I wanted it to be all smokey! :) I used some gelatos and my metallic rub-ons on textured cardstock. Voila!!








Have a wonderful Monday night!!

Orange, Green, Purple, and Black!

Hello, everyone!

It's time for another Yumi and Fumi Handmade Challenge -- in light of Halloween, the challenge these two weeks is a color combo of orange, green, purple, and black!

Here's my take using AJ Lion - this line of Kigurumi kids are perfect for Halloween!



Team Yumi is showcasing their cards/ projects today, and Team Fumi will be doing theirs next week. Remember that you have about two weeks to play and can use any stamped images you like. However, you get bonus points for using Y&FH stamps (they are so cute and awesome to play with!).

For more inspiration and all the rules, please visit the Yumi and Fumi Handmade blog. Thanks so much for visiting!!

Happy (almost) Halloween!!

Balloon Kaylee's Birthday Party!

Hi all!

I am currently on vacay from work (and from this kind of "work" as well), and haven't really crafted. So I thought I'd show you all an old card I made but never got to post about. I made this card featuring SOG's Balloon Kaylee for this summer's CHA conference.

In fact, the watermark on this photo is old too. (oooops) It was from when I was still on the DT. Anyway, my inspiration for this card was my friend, Michelle's birthday! She is so fun and has such a colorful personality! So doesn't it look like there's a party going on in this card? LOL!!!



Toot-a-loo!!

Fall Leaves.

Hello everyone!

It's time for a card featuring a Fall release from Time for Tea Designs. And, by Fall, I mean Fall Leaves!



Isn't she pretty? And so perfect for Autumn, I just love the outfit she's wearing! I've come to appreciate this season over the years. The trees truly are beautiful with the leaves, and the crisp air is refreshing! The colors of the season are just gorgeous! And, of course, Halloween and Thanksgiving are both fun!

I'm so glad to say that I've used up scraps to make this card. I just got done with my craftroom purging, and it felt good to actually use old stuff!



Have a wonderful weekend, everyone!!
