CAS(E) this Sketch! - Believe

Hi there!  Happy Friday!  I was inspired by the CAS(E) Study Sketch yesterday and was excited to play along.  My aunt was recently diagnosed with Ovarian Cancer and throughout her chemo I have been sending her cards each week to keep her positive and let her know she is always in my thoughts and prayers.

Here is what I came up with to send to her this week.

Thanks for stopping by!  

Muse Challenge #16 - Teacher Appreciation

Hello there!  Thanks for stopping by!  I just wanted to share a card I made for the Muse Challenge #16 this week.  This challenge came at a great time since I needed a card for my son's Kindergarten teacher.  Here is what I put together after being inspired by this weeks Muse. (this week's muse also happens to be a daily stop for me during my morning blog reading time).  I am so glad I was able to play along this week.  This is my first time participating.  I have been following along and voting on all the awesome eye candy...I just have not gotten to play along yet.  :)

All stamps and supplies are from Papertrey Ink (except the notebook lined paper, which I picked up from Hobby Lobby a while back).  

Pink By Design - Anything Goes Challenge

Hello!  Happy Wednesday!  I just wanted to share a fun little card I created for the Pink By Design: Anything Goes Challenge.  

I love PBD stamps!  They are great quality clear stamps and they have such a variety of great sentiments!  I am starting quite the collection.  I just discovered them this past year, but I like what I see.  I am anxious to see what they have in store for their upcoming release this weekend.  

Here's the card I created using their stamp set: Breast Wishes.

I paired that set with this cute Die-namics die from MFT Stamps.

Here is a peek at the inside of the card.  :)

 

Thanks for visiting!  Have a glitteriffic day!

CASology: ET

Hi there!  Just wanted to share a card with you that I created for the CASology Blog - Challenge #35...Extraterrestrial was the theme!

I grabbed this cute lil' alien fella from Paper Smooches - Little Fella and some stars from PTI's Star Prints to make this little "out of this world" scene.

Thanks for dropping by!  Have a sparkly day!

CAS-ual Fridays Challenge: Color Blocking

Happy Saturday!  I am sharing a card I made for this week's CAS-ual Fridays Challenge: CFC93

The challenge was Colorblocking.  I got the idea for this card from a dress I recently purchased for my daughter from The Children's Place.

I used the CAS-ual Friday's stamp set "Woot, Woot!"  I apologize for the not so great pic...I had to use my phone...battery was dead on my camera.  :)

Thanks for stopping by!  Have glitteriffic weekend!

VIP Challenge Favorite!

I just have to post that I was chosen as a VIP in last week's challenge over at the CAS-ual Friday's Challenge Blog!  The challenge was this....and my original post can be seen here, but I have posted the card on this post as well.  :)  YAY!!!

PTI Blog Hop - Monograms

It's been quite a while since I participated in a PTI Blog Hop!  I always love hopping around and checking out all the gorgeous creations, but I either run out of time to sit and create or my mojo and my free time never line up at the same time.  Does that happen to anyone else?  LOL!

Anyway, I needed to create a quick little set of notecards for gift for a friend.  I got out some fun and wild patterned paper I have been hoarding :) along with some coordinating PTI color cardstock and then got out the PTI Block Alphabet Upper Die Collection.

I made a set of 6.  1 of each color to keep it fun and fresh!  And I added a sparkly piece of glitter tape (LOVE THAT STUFF) across the front to break up the card a bit and just to add some glitz!

I even made matching envelopes!

Thanks for stopping by!!!  I am so glad I was finally able to participate!  

CAS-ual Fridays: Silver Challenge

Happy Friday, ya'll!  :)  I was inspired by CAS-ual Friday's card challenge that was posted today.  So I created a little something.  The challenge was to use silver on your clean & simple card.  Silver = SPARKLE to me...and I am not one to turn down an opportunity to glitter something up!  

I used CAS-ual Friday Stamps: Woot, Woot and a PTI number die to create my card.

PS - Is it just my horrible humor or would this make a great "congrats on the baby news" card?  That's just what I think of for some reason!  LOL!  I know, I am crazy!

Have a glitterful Friday!

CASology Challenge: Red

Hello there!  Two days in a row with posts and playing along with some of my favorite challenge blogs!  Today the challenge comes from CASology.  The challenge/inspiration was RED.  

I recently cut out this super duper cute owl with my NEW Silhouette Cameo machine (LOVE THAT THING!).  And today's challenge inspired me to use it on a card!  

I of course had to add some glitter tape and stickles for extra sparkle!  

Thanks for stopping by!!  Have a sparkle filled day!

Muse Challenge: Birthday Card

Hello!  It's been a while since I posted on my blog.  I have been unorganized and almost unmotivated to post here.  But I played along in a challenge today, so I wanted to share my creation.  I have been following a new Challenge Blog: Muse.  They are in their 4th challenge, but this is the first time I have played along.  

I needed to make a birthday card for a friend who has a birthday coming up.  I was playing around with some new patterned paper I recently picked up.  I was motivated to play along because I wanted to do some crafting, but at the same time, I think I got intimidated.  So I went with just using the "sketch" of the card as my inspiration.

Thanks for stopping by!  Have a glitter filled day!
