warm wishes - a CASE

Good morning!!

Things are just hopping around my neck of the woods. 

I am desperately trying to get ready for 2 craft fairs this week!

Yikes!! I am such a procrastinator.

Today I want to show you a card I made, but I can't take ANY credit for the design! This is a total CASE.

I found this AMAZING card by the fabulous Laura @ doublestick heaven.

I adore the Let it Snow stamp set, 

and have been wanting to use the tree trunks like this.

I saw her's and just had to recreate it.

The fonts on this set are just fabulous!

Please head on over to the Avery Elle blog for more inspiration from Jamie and the DT.

Thanks so much for stopping by today!!

Morning!

How's everyone feeling?

This is one sick household!

My baby and I have been sick since Saturday and now my husband has it. I must say, I think my 10 month old is dealing waaaaaay better than me and my hubby!!

Well, it's that time of month again where I get to show you a little piece of what is to come, the new TAWS December release.

I am showcasing the set - True Colors.

I LOOOOOVE it!

There are a ton of fabulous images and complimenting sentiments,

 so much fun.

I think this will be a go-to set for me for sure.

Pop on over to the TAWS blog and find out how you can win yourself this amazing stamp set!

And because he's just so cute, even while sick.........

RetroSketch #91

Good Morning!!

It's time for the new RetroSketches challenge.

THis week's sketch is based on this beauty by our Headliner Katie.

I used the polka dot mug and sentiment from the TAWS set Breakfast Club.

I love this set. :)

TAWS be inspired challenge #42

Hey there!

It's time for a new TAWS Be Inspired challenge.

Gorgeous!!

I was really taken with the bulbous flowers and the colour scheme this week.

So here's my take on it.

To recreate those fabulous flowers i used one of the cute images from the TAWS set Awesome Blossom.

Be sure to pop over to the TAWS blog for more inspiration, then go get inky.

So Thankful!

Hey there!

I hope that your week is going well so far.

Today, I am showcasing one of the fabulous new sets from Avery Elle.

It's called Thankful.

It has a couple adorable images and some perfect sentiments to say 

"thank you".

I used the leaf image in different Fall colours to create the background, then cut out a few to pop up beside the sentiment.

Hop on over to the Avery Elle blog to see more inspiration from the most recent release.

RetroSketch #90

Hey there!!

I just love this time of year, maybe minus the really stupid cold temperatures, but I just love wanting to be warm and cozy. Curled up on the couch, watching movies and drinking hot chocolate!!

Who's with me?

Anyway, I am sharing with you today the new RetroSketch challenge that started on Saturday.

It's based on this, as always, this GORGEOUS card by Laurie.

My take uses a super cute new set by The Alley Way stamps, In Stitches.

It's "sew" much fun. Hee hee!!

Be sure to pop on over to the RetroSketches blog for more inspiration then play along. :)

Thanks so much for stopping by today!

a little peace & joy

Good morning!

I hope everyone had a wonderful weekend.

I spent the weekend making about 30 cards. 

My back is a bit sore. :)

Today I am showcasing a fabulous little set from Avery Elle called Fill in the Blank. It also has a companion die set.

                                         

That adorable little tree just kind of jumped out at me!

I do hope you will head on over to the Avery Elle blog for more daily inspiration from Jamie and the rest of the DT.

Thanks so much for stopping by!

a little love goes a long way

Morning!

As we spent time yesterday honouring the millions of veterans who have made such a difference in all our lives, it got me thinking about how much we have to be grateful for. 

I am so grateful to have all of the love in my life. 

My son, my husband, ALL of my family, immediate and otherwise!

Friends, neighbours, etc

How different my life would be without them in it. 

So I felt the need to express a little LOVE!!

I used the new TAWS set Spell Check for the background and the speech bubble. It's such a fun set.

Thanks so much for stopping by today!

Spill the beans!! RetroSketch #89

Good Morning!

It's Saturday and therefore time for a new RetroSketch challenge!

RetroSketch #88

Happy Saturday!!

I hope everyone had a fabulous Halloween.

Which I guess means we can all now look forward to counting down Christmas. :)

On to business!! I have the new RetroSketch challenge to share with you.

It's based on this stunning card by Arielle.

I decided to turn mine into a tag.

Which I am finding I am doing a lot lately!

I used one of the new TAWS sets, In Stitches, as well as a small portion of a sentiment from the set Change.
