Happy Thursday to All

Hi Everyone!


One more day to the weekend. Bet everyone is looking forward to it! We are still very nice and hot here. Hope the rest of you have good weather.


Today I made a summer Tilda card. I used Creative Imaginations DP. Card stock is from SU : Whisper White, Summer Sun and Pacific Point. Ribbon from Michaels. Flip Flop from my stash.
Paper Flip Flops made with EK Success Punch. Behind Tilda I have sponged a very very soft blue and yellow near the horizon line - I don't know if it will show up in the picture. Of course I have used Diamond Glitter on Tilda's wings.


Here she is:







Here is a close up of my little flip flop:







A close up of poor sun burnt Tilda:






And of course the inside:




I hope you have liked my card. A short post tonight as I am very tired and feeling a bit dizzy for some reason this evening.

Thank you so much for taking the time to look at my blog. Please leave me some comments as I love to hear from you all :o)

I made another card this evening with a really sweet image from 'The Greeting Farm'. These images are available at 'The Town Scrapper.I had so much fun colouring the image cause they are large with happy faces!

Don't you think she is a doll?


Here is a close up of the side panel. I was able to thread the ribbon through the button and tie a bow.






Here is a close up of my little friend with her pearl button. It matches the pearls on each corner of the main card:







This was a really fun card to make. I hope you enjoy it as much as I did making it.

Happy Saturday !! There is a SALE at the Town Scrapper...

Hi everyone!
Phebe has a sale on at ' The Town Scrapper ' , it actually started yesterday and goes to June 10th!
Here are the details:

Buy 1 GET 2nd 50% OFF!!

ON ALL STAMPS, EMBELLISHMENTS AND FLOWERS!!

Also NEW in : All the latest Whiff of Joy!!

Nestibilities are 2 for $45.00 or $24.50 each!!

Cuttlebugs are 50% off!!!

***I also must tell you that Phebe has been chosen to sell the new stamps that are out called:
"MOTIVET"!!!! ***
Have you heard of them? Have you seen them???

WELL I just happen to have one made into a card for you today to see.....

I fell in love with this little nurse LOL! She reminded me of long ago nursery stories when I was a young girl - we won't go into details of when that was LOL LOL

So I did the card up so it would look a bit old and used.
The DP is Basic Grey : Bittersweet
Matching red card stock - Off white card stock.
I used my Coluzzle to cut the image with because I only have the small oval Nestibilities :o(
I copied the definition of NURSE out of an old dictionary and typed it on off white Card Stock in brown ink. Then I set up to destroy it to look old; using my scissors, tearing it, wrinkling it all up, sanding, and then using brown ink to touch it up here and there and then dropping some alcohol ink on it - I used Tim Holtz Ranger products.
Copics were used to colour the image and I used crystal lacquer on her shoes.

Here she is :


and. yes the definition is on crooked on purpose.

Here is a closer look:


Here she is up close:




I sure hope you have enjoyed this little card today. Be sure to get in touch with Phebe at the
'THE TOWN SCRAPPER' - upper left on my blog - for her SALE info, MOTIVET Stamps and also her blog!
Be seeing you real soon with more of Phebe's stamps.
Have a great weekend everyone.....

Happy Thursday to you All.......

Hello!!!


I made this card yesterday and had no time to get it on my blog - hard to believe isn't it?


This is the new Sketch Challenge on Magnolia-licious this month. Kerry Donovan-Casey is the gal who made this pretty sketch.


I decided to test myself a bit and made a card out of what to me are weird colours. I hope I did it justice LOL It was fun but you know how you feel when you try something different?


My DP came from a 6 x 6 DCWV Glitter Stack Pad. I love anything that glitters LOL
I used cardstock from SU called Creamy Caramel, Pink Passion, and Whisper White.
Buttons are from my stash and rhinestones from my stash as well and were NOT STICKY....oh boy!
Of course I coloured with Copics.


Here is my card - I hope you like it Kerry!







Funny colours?? I think so - in a way LOL





Here is another:



Oh Boy! I just realized that I forgot to take a picture of the inside!!! Ask me if it is HOT?? You bet - over 90 - and my head isn't working............
I just used the striped paper that is on the front and placed it on some more of the pink and put it on each side. The bright colours seemed to be enough already LOL LOL

Thanks so much for taking a peek at this one. Have a great day tomorrow - it's FRIDAY.

Hi there - It is late Monday Evening at my house!!

Hi there, we have had another scorcher of a day here. I hope most of the rest of you are getting nice hot summer weather by now??

Here is one more card for the 'Town Scrapper". Tomorrow the five of them are going postal to Phebe. I hope she likes these ones!! More will be on their way in a week or two.

Just before I talk about the card I want to let you all know that Phebe will ship goods anywhere in Canada ( We will have to ask about USA ) She carries many lines of stamps : Magnolia, My Favourite Things; Whipper Snapper, Hanna, High Hopes, Whiff of Joy, CC Designs and has just got the rights to a brand new line. You should hop on over and get the low down! She also carries Design Paper : Imaginisce, Basic Grey, MME, and Paper Make Up. She also sells Nestibilities and a bunch more wonderful things...............
The main image is a Whiff of Joy Stamp from their Summer 2009 Collection, the sentiment is from a previous selection of theirs. The Butterfly Grass and the butterfly are from the Magnolia Spring Butterfly Collection - 2009.

AND NOW I PRESENT MY WEE CARD FOR TODAY LOL LOL:



I always like to show more detailed images if I can. So I got a couple more a little closer:

And here is the last one a bit closer yet:

Hello on Sunday Evening With a new card for The Town Scrapper

Hi everyone!

Is it as hot at your house as it is at mine today? Our temperature is over 80 still and it is 7:30 in the evening here. I wonder if summer has started :o)


I spent my afternoon making a card with one of the Spring Collection Stamps. I love little Tilda holding the bee :o)
I coloured with my Copics as usual. I don't have dark greys as yet so my bee is a bit lighter than I would like him to be - but I am happy with the rest of the card.....


DP: Basic Grey ~ Urban Prairie
Card Stock ~ white, black, Turquoise.
Touch of ribbon.
Nesties - plain square ~ 3rd largest.
Hand made flowers - I had lots of fun making these :o)
3 Black Pearls ~ MS


Here are my pictures. You will notice the first one was taken before I added the pearls. I felt it needed something in that top right hand corner........






Here is a bit closer picture:





Finally with the addition of the pearls:





I hope you haven't tired of seeing all of these images by now? I wonder how many of you noticed that I FINALLY learned how to crop my pictures today? LOL LOL LOL ~ All of you who have been sick and tired of seeing my messy desk, I bet :o) They are much nicer now.

Have a great week everyone!!
Thank you all so much for taking a look and please remember how much I love to read your comments.
See you again soon ~
Love Candy
