Imagine

So I have another new card for you today, yay!  I am having so much fun designing! ^_^ The card I made is titled imagine which I think fits in well with my whole theme for life right now.  My mind is exploding with ideas I am imagining and I desperately trying to find both the time and resources to turn my imaginings into reality!  With spring finally starting to feel like it is well and truly here to stay, I am anxious to dust of the dreariness of winter and  create!


I hope you like the card!  Please bear with me as I am still trying to figure out the best way to photograph my work but I am getting it figured out!  I thought I'd share a pic of some soda bread with currents that my hubby and I made on St. Patrick's Day. It turned out so pretty I just have to share!  (Too bad I can't share a slice of it with you as well - it was soooo yummy!)

 Sorry if that got your tummy rumbling!  If you haven't tried making homemade soda bread before you should really give it a go!  The dough is REALLY sticky but it turns out delicious.

Thanks for stopping by and taking a peek at my blog!  Of course, if you like what you see please follow and I will keep it coming!

A Mojo Easter

     Here is my Mojo Monday card for this week from sketch 232.   This was a fun card to make!  I used a stamp I received as a gift several years ago when I was pregnant with my twin girls. It is from a baby themed 2003 Stampin' Up collection.  I am so glad I have finally gotten around to using my crafting things!  I have always love to do anything artistic but until recently have only just dabbled on occasion. 


     The supplies I used include patterned paper from DCWV Fresh Floral Stack. The silver embellishment in the flower is from Colorbok. I used some silver Studio G glitter glue and the pink (stitched) grosgrain ribbon is by Offray (Microspool).  The cardstock I've had quite awhile and no longer know the name.  I used markers by Chartpak and Prisma color to color the bunny.

   
Thanks for viewing my blog! I hope you enjoy my card and can glean some inspiration for your own crafting!

True Love and Thanks

It has been a time of weddings here in my family!  My little sister got married just 2 weeks ago.  I have been busy traveling and recouping from all the excitement!  I am so happy for her and her new hubby! ^_^

I have not been completely away from my crafting though!  So, here I am to share some of my latest work.  First of all, here is a quick, easy thank you card made with my sizzix texture boutique and sizzix thank you themed embossing folders.  Also, I used some black-magic core-dinations cardstock which I sanded after embossing.  It literally only took me about 5 minutes start to finish!



I used some ink on the flower to make the embossing stand out and some double sided foam adhesive to give the flower some dimension.  So fun and cute! ^_^

As I mentioned before, it has been a time of weddings in my family.  My cousin is getting married this weekend.  She and her hubby to be are so bright and happy. (They are even having little rubber ducks at their reception as part of their decor!) So here is the card I made with her in mind...


 I used the Mojo Monday sketch (#231) for this card.  I love how bright and happy it turned out!  I think she will like it.  If you like what you are seeing please follow and I will keep posting!
