Back from hiatus

Well you can call it a hiatus. The computer that i use had a meltdown. The harddrive went in it. I lost some of my photos. But hopefully i can get up to making and displaying cards. I went about a week or so without a computer. Let me tell you , it sucked. But hopefully i i can get with the challenges .

Just to let you know whats up.

My Pink Stamper DT Challenge

Hello all.
When i saw that My Pink Stamper was having a DT call. I knew that i had to try out.
The project could be a card, page or any project.
It had to have the colors: brown, pink, green and color of your choice.

My color of choice was white.
I used Kraft brown paper, green and pink paper from Recollections.
I used my cricut expression with my gypsy to cut out my images.
I got the Chinese lanterns from The Pagoda cartridge.. I colored the layers with a pink copic and glitter with my stardust pen. I did faux stitching , accents with a white gel pen. I got the sentiment from My Pink Stampers New Everyday Life stamp set.
I hope everyone likes it. i love the simple layout of this card. I know i will make more with this layout for the troops.
Thanks for hanging out with me today.

Happy New Year!

Hello all. I just want to say Happy New Year! I hope you all are safe and sound for the New Year.
I wish you all best of everything for the New Year. My crafty new years resolution is to donate more to charity, and to try to be publish again. That means i even have to submit something LOL.

I have two cards to show ya. First is a simple card that takes things from paper and from a stash.

The second is using a embossing folder in reverse and highlighting it with a white gel pen.

I have been on a kick with the Kraft paper lately. I love the simple look of it. I got a gypsy for x-mas so i am planning alot of cricut based cards in the future.

I also got Peachy Keen stamps for Christmas. I got some good ones, so using them  is the the future too.
I can't wait to show you some new cards in the New Year.

Wishing you all the best.

Thanks for hanging out with me.

Waiting patiently for Christmas so i can play with my Gypsy. Since its wrapped and under the tree, i just have to wait and look at cartridges to buy.

Starting to think about the New Year already.
I am going to be doing some cards for Send Love today. Also i am going to get some cards together for Operation Write Home.  These are great causes to donate to.
I want to submit more to magazines. I just get alittle behind.

Peachy keen challenge

Hello all. Long time no hear. I have been busy with Thanksgiving and shopping for Christmas gifts.
I got some good deals. I even went shopping on Black Friday.
 I was up at 5 a.m. I got some good deals then took myself to breakfast.

I decided to do a Peachy Keen Challenge. Number 42. You had to emboss it. dry embossing or wet.

I even could use a Peachy stamp since i just got my order from them.
I had the music embossing folder from Tim Holtz. which i put tumbled glass distress ink on to bring out the embossing. I layered some Dcwv paper from the winter stack. I stamped this cute snowman that i got free with my order. Its a super cute image. i will be using it alot in the future. I colored her with copics and added glitter with my sakura glitter pen. The sentiment is from My Pink Stamper- winter punnies.

I hope you all enjoy. I am going to be on alot more so stay tuned.

Thanks for hanging out with me.
