Second, this January marks TAWS' 3rd birthday which means a whole lotta fun will be had ALL MONTH LONG!!

Since it's TAWS' birthday we decided to do a little something special on this hop, we all made a little birthday creation.

I decided to do some little treat/party favor pillow boxes. 

I thought the sentiment was perfect because swag can mean both "style" and "free stuff"!

Another fabulous thing, his fun mini set, Once Upon a Time, is FREE when you spend $40.00 or more during the month of Jan!!

Love is in the air!!

Good morning!

I hope everyone is getting excited for the big day. I still have sooooooooooooo much wrapping to do.

Somehow I managed to completely spoil an 11 month old, who won't even really realize what's going on!!

Anyway, today I am sharing a lovey-dovey card i made using the fabulous new set Love Notes by Avery Elle.

This set has so many beautiful sentiments and some stellar images.

There are really so many possibilities!!

For the gold stripes I used the 3 lines from the Knotty set.

Have a wonderful day and a very Merry Christmas!!

a belated birthday

Happy morning to you!!

It's bright and early and I am sharing a 

non Christmas card on Christmas eve!!

This is a simple but effective birthday card I made for my nephew who recently turned one. 

Shhhhhhh.......it was in September!!

Eventually it got so late that I knew my brother in law and his wife were coming for Christmas this year, that I just waited. 

Good thing Simon doesn't know how late his present was. ;)

I love this new set from The Alley Way Stamps, Gabfest.

I just adore the font and I get to use the alphabet to create my own sentiments.

The plane is from an older set, Priceless Joy.

                                                  

Thanks so much for stopping by today!

I wish a Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to you and your families!!

Good Morning!!

It's Saturday which mean time for a new RetroSketch challenge.

This week's amazing sketch is based on one of Laurie's amazing creations which you can see here.

I didn't stray from the design of this sketch at all.

It's simply too wonderful to change. :)

For the lovely little babe, I used the new special release set Seek Him, and the Christmas sentiment set, Christmas Magic, for the sentiment.

Hop on over to the RetroSketches blog for more inspiration from Arielle, Laurie and our December headliner Michelle.

Live in Colour

Hey there!!

Just a quick post today to share a card I made using the newly released

TAWS set True Colors.

This set makes me so happy. 

And I've been a bit obsessed with lots of colour lately!!!

This set has some great sentiments and some fabulous splotches and watercolour paint strokes. 

So fabulous!!

Thanks so much for stopping in today!

Save the Date

Hey there!!

I am so excited today because I get to share one of the fabulous new sets that Avery Elle release,

Save the Date.

It's so cute, and I have so many ideas for this one. 

I did decide to go with the typical use of this set for today's card though.

(But I can't wait to get those little farm animals inky!!)

Now I didn't realize until I was taking the picture that I used the wrong date, it should be 2014 not 13!!

Oh well!

I had to layer two circles of vellum to get the look I wanted.

I've been on a bit of a vellum kick lately. :)

RetroSketches #93

Good Morning and happy Saturday!

It's time for a new RetroSketch challenge, and this week

it's based on an old card of mine. 

You can see it here.

Love it, super simple and clean.

I sort of ran wild with the circles, I hope it doesn't seem like I strayed too far from the sketch. :)

I used the new TAWS mini set Meltdown.

(It's free this month with a $40 purchase.)
