DD77 & SSSC196

Morning everyone! Sorry this is late - our internet was down for most of the evening last night and I couldn't get it posted until this morning. So - this will be a quick post as I have to get the kids outta bed in 10 minutes. :)

I didn't have time to play with the current Sweet Sunday Sketch so I figured I would give it a try for this card - combining it with the combo from Dynamic Duos and the new TAWS set, Spell Check, created a fun thank you card:

Thanks for stopping by today - if the Internet Gods are willing, I will be back tomorrow with a new BE Inspired challenge...see you then!

 

{Dynamic Duos #74} & {Freshly Made Sketches #108}

Hey everyone! Thanks for stopping in on this fabulous fall day.  I know Thanksgiving is over here in Canada but I just love the colors and sentiment of the holiday so much, I had to make one final card.  I used this week's Dynamic Duos color combo and the sketch is from Freshly Made Sketches:

The sentiment is from The Alley Way Stamps set, Give Thanks:

Thank you so much for stopping in today - enjoy the rest of your week and hopefully the weather is just as awesome wherever you are as it is here in Central Alberta!  Enjoy!!

Let's Chill {CTS48 & DD73}

Hello everyone! I've had a very busy week - heck, this fall has been one crazy ride after another!  I haven't been able to spend a whole lot of time in my craft room so when I see CAS sketches, I jump on 'em and go with it.  Today 's card uses a sketch from CAS(E) this Sketch and color combo from Dynamic Duos and, seriously, it took me less than 10 minutes start to finish:

The snowflakes are from the TAWS set Holiday Sparkles and the sentiment is from Chill Out.  Okie dokie - I'll be back tomorrow with a brand new BE Inspired card so I'll see you then!

4CCC-155 {Sympathy} & CTS40 & DD65

Hi everyone! Did you miss me? After a full week of posts, I took a week off but I'm back today with a brand new 4 Crafty Chicks' Challenge.  This week, Tamie's our hostess-with-the-mostest and she wants to see sympathy cards.  I know I don't make these very often so it will be good to have one more in my stash.

For my card, I combined this week's Dynamic Duos and CAS(E) this Sketch - three TAWS sets were used too: Stack 'em High, Awesome Blossom and Chatterbox:

Thanks, as always, for stopping by to say hello - I really do appreciate it.  Have a fabulous day and I'll be back tomorrow with a new BE Inspired Challenge over at The Alley Way Stamps.  See you then!

 

Hey Friend... Dynamic Duos#64

Well, are you sick of me yet??? An entire week of posts with only one day off?  Trust me, that will NOT happen again for a very long time.  Today's post will be short and sweet (just like me...)  :)

Today I've got a quick card that uses TAWS Love Knots for the background and Stack 'em High for the sentiment...the color combo is from Dynamic Duos:

That's it for me - see you on Thursday for a new 4 Crafty Chicks' Challenge - I've got an AWESOME project to share with you and it's NOT a card!!!  *gasp*  See you then!

4CCC-153 {Bling} & DD#63 & CTS38

Welcome back for another fun-filled 4 Crafty Chicks' Challenge. This week Leanne is or hostess with the mostest and it's time to see some BLING on those cards!  That's right, anything that sparkles or adds a bit of *zing* is fair game.

For my card, I combined this week's Dynamic Duos color combo with the sketch from CAS(E) this Sketch and used a couple more of the background stamps from The Alley Way Stamps new set, Stack 'em High, to create this sparkly gem:

The sentiment is from another fun TAWS set, Talk to Me and the word bubble die is from Paper Smooches.  :)

I hope you'll join us at the 4CCC - can't wait to see all the sparkly cards!  See you tomorrow with a new BE Inspired Challenge!

 

SSSC189 & Dynamic Duos #62

Hello everyone! Who's having a fabulous weekend? *raising hand*  The weather has been gorgeous and I've spent many hours out on my deck with my iPod and book... can't get much better than that, can it?  I suppose if you could build a 4-season craft room outside, that might be better but, alas, here in Canada - not exactly practical. ;)

Are you ready for a brand new Sweet Sunday Sketch?  It's been an entire month since I've played along since I took the last one off because we decided to go visit my parents on the spur-of-the-moment and didn't have time to get a card done before we left.  I kind of like this week's sketch - not too fussy but can certainly make it so if you want to:

I combined it with this week's Dynamic Duos combo of Calypso Coral and Basic Black, used my Medallion stamp from Stampin' Up! as the half circle peeking out from behind the one layer and dug out an old Verve verse for the sentiment panel and...VOILA!

There was an addtional element to the Dynamic Duos challenge to include butterflies so I popped one on with my button...not sure I've ever seen a black one before but...;)

All of the fabulous Sweet Sunday Stampers have inspiration for you, so please stop by and say hello to:

Dana White 

Dawn Easton 

Jackie Pedro 

Karen Giron 

Karen Motz 

Lori Tecler 

Lynn Put 

Sarah-Jane Kalé 

Tracy Clemente 

Vicki Burdick 

and the "NKOTB", Lisa Henke and Jodi Collins!  I didn't get a chance to officially welcome them last sketch so better late than never, right?  WELCOME GIRLS!!!!  So thrilled to have you both on board!

Have a great week, everyone!  See you on Thursday!

 

4CCC-150 {3-D Projects} & DD60

It's time for a brand new 4 Crafty Chicks' Challenge and this week I'm your hostess with the mostest - aren't you lucky?  This week, we're looking for some amazing 3-D Projects - boxes, bags, canvases, knit, crochet...you decide.  This is a bit of a departure from our usual challenge but I can't wait to see what you all come up with.

For my project, I made a fun little bag of treats - I found these yummy peanut butter-filled pretzels at Costco and filled a little cello bag full, added a bit of an "envelope" for it and voila!!!  I used an image and sentiment from The Alley Way Stamps' set Land HO and combined it with this week's Dynamic Duos color combo - perfect for a tropical bird:

And a quick side view:

I hope you will come and play along - we'd love to see what you create that ISN'T a card.  :)  Thanks for stopping by!
