Two cards on one day - WOW!

I can't believe I have accomplished two cards in one day LOL. ~ That is because Mariah's Birthday card was mostly finished yesterday LOL LOL ............just trying to fool you all!!

I have made this card for the Monday House Mouse Challenge - the address is on the top right of my blog.
This week the challenge is to make a card that is "sweet". I choose to go with - what else??
CHOCOLATE!!!

I have used stickles, round Nesties both plain and scalloped, Copics , both design papers are matching DoodleBug Design, pop dots, and crystals. I hope that is everything - Oops the flower from Prisma.

Here is the front of the card:



Some closer images so you can hopefully see the stickles on the mouse, marshmallows and the word chocolate:





and of course the inside:



Thanks to all of you who have taken the time to come see the card and especially if you have come twice today :o)

Hello Friends - It's Saturday!

I spent yesterday making a Birthday card for my Granddaughter :o) She and my Grandson have Birthdays just one day apart!

I really wanted it to be as nice as his was. I tried very hard. While his favourite colour is green, hers is pink. Can you get too much pink???? I doubt she will think so LOL

This was a stamped image I received in an image swap. Was I lucky or what? This is an H & S stamp from the Spring line, I believe.

I have used my usual things to make the card. My Copics, one of my larger rectangle Nesties, sweet ribbon from Michaels, Martha Steward small butterfly punch, dazzling diamond glitter from SU and acrylic white paint. I taught my sweet Mariah all about BLING while I was baby-sitting them in January so I had to use this paper by Making Memories LOL

The front:

A closer look:

The inside:

And of course the back:

I notice in the picture this doesn't look centered - but it is.

I am sure you can tell what a good time I have had making both of these cards for my AWESOME Grandchildren whom I love so very much.

Blessings to you all on Easter.

Good Morning !

I thought you might like to see the Birthday Card I have made for my Grandson.

It is his 6th Birthday and I had a blast making this card for him! The stamp I used is from:
AlotaRubberStamps and is so cute! I used SU cardstock in Green Galore and Summer Sun. Both of the design papers are from scraps and I am afraid I don't remember who made them. I used my round Nesties in plain and scallop. White acrylic paint, and Copic markers.

Here is the front of the card:






The inside :


And the back!!!


Thank you for visiting me - I love it when you do.

Have a great day.

Love, Candy

Happy Monday!

Hello friends,

Just a quick little post tonight to show a card I made to send some images in. I have been making a lot of cards to enclose images in swaps, and never thought about showing them for some reason?!

So I have mailed many. This one is going in the mail tomorrow so took a quick picture of it for you.

I have bought a few House Mouse stamps and would really love to have more. I am going to try to do the Monday Night House Mouse and Friends Challenge each week. BUT this may be complicated for a while until I get more stamps as they set the challenge using certain things.
I have what I need for this week so I hope to post it later in the week. I also have several Magnolia cards to make as well. So hope you will come back and see everything.



Just a sweet little one for tonight.

Hope to see you all soon.

Love Candy

Happy Saturday Everyone!!

How are you all? I hope not many of you had the snow we had in the middle of the week!!!
Today is was a beautiful day lovely bright and sunny although the wind was brisk. It was the kind of day you wanted to be out in the yard working except that it is far too cold here yet and nothing is growing. I know though it won't belong until the weather warms up and then I will be too HOT LOL LOL!!!!!!!!!!

So I shall say no more about the weather :o)

I made a card today for the Magnolia-licious April Challenge. Many in the group have made theirs already and I am sure you have seen a lot of them. They are absolutely beautiful - they get better every month.

I plod along here doing the best I can. I have had an idea in my head for some time now and today I thought I would try to get it on a card! WELL...........you know how it goes some times. You can't seem to do what you thought you could and you thought you had something but you don't and the card keeps changing as the time goes on.

This is the end result of my card for today. It is coloured with Copics of course - and I am out of several colours and can't find anyone in Vancouver or area who sells the reinkers :o(.......You may notice my little girl is very light today as I barely had enough ink to finish her off in the colours I like to use. My card stock is Bazzil with a texture and my two DP are some I picked up such a long time ago in Vancouver, but they don't have names on the back of them :o( , I also used SU soft sky. The elements I used were some micro beads for the seaweed, two MS punches for the shell and the sea horses, and 3 tiny shells I collected.

Here is the front of the card:



Here is a better close up of Tilda:



Here is a picture of the embellishments:



And finally a photo of the inside:



I hope you can figure out what I was trying to accomplish here :o)

Have a GREAT weekend everyone and see you back here real soon, I hope!

Thank you - Candy
