4CCC-137 {Fruit}

Hi again and thanks for stopping by.  It's Thursday and you know what that means...time for a brand new 4 Crafty Chicks' Challenge and this week I'm your hostess-with-the-mostest.  I've got a fun one for you this week - FRUIT!  Can you do it?  I'm sure you've got some paper or stamps sitting around that would be perfect for this challenge so dig them out and join us!

For my card, I used some *old* SU! paper in fun, bright colors along with this week's Mojo Monday sketch:

I tried to keep it fairly CAS since the paper is pretty...ummmm...bold?  :)  I used one of the sentiments from the TAWS set, Wish BIG to complete this little birthday card:

So?  Do you think you will be able to join us?  We'd love to see what kind of "fruity" creations you can all come up with.  And if you need a little more inspiration, don't forget to visit the rest of the Chicks - they always have fabulous samples.  Take care and we'll see you tomorrow!

{Life is Short} and {PDCC176}

Thanks for stopping in today! I've got a quick CAS card to share with you all - this one uses a sentiment from The Alley Way Stamps' new set, Life is Short. I combined it with this week's color combo from The Play Date Cafe and used a sketch from my head...*gasp*  I KNOW!  A sketch all by myself...although I'm sure it's out there somewhere and I've used it before but I"m gonna take credit for it this time, OK?  ;)

That's it for me today - enjoy your Tuesday and I'll see you on Thursday for a new 4 Crafty Chicks' challenge!

4CCC-136 {Charms} & CQC183 & CTS21

Hello Crafty Peeps! I hope you are all having a fabulous week wherever you are - the weather this week has been absolutely beautiful but we're supposed to get some more snow today and tomorrow. *sigh*  I don't mind the snow I just don't care for the mud it creates when it melts...  But I shouldn't complain - spring is definitely in the air!

This week's challenge over at the 4 Crafty Chicks' is being hosted by Leanne and she wants to see something I very rarely use...in fact, I had to go digging through my stash to see if I even *had* any.  She wants to see us use charms...you know - like from a charm bracelet?   I know - they still make those???  :)

For my card, I found an old glass bead/charm that was shaped like a heart and added it to the middle of my button.  I used this week's Colour Q and last week's CAS(E) this Sketch:

I used a couple of my favorite Verve dies for the felt flower and the stamps are from The Alley Way Stamps' new release - this one is Tag-alongs.  Don't you love the little, pointy arrow things? 

OK - off you go to dig through your stash and see what you can come up with...make your own charm if you have to, just come and play along with us!  Have a fabulous week - the weekend is right around the corner!

HAPPY EASTER!  How's the weather where you are?  This weekend has been absolutely GORGEOUS here in central Alberta and I am sooooooo itching to get outside and get the yard cleaned up and ready for the summer.  I was even able to crack open a few windows yesterday and, let me tell you, that was AWESOME!

So, we've a *fun* Sweet Sunday Sketch for you all this week - yep, it's got a darn tilty panel.  For some reason, those always throw me off a bit.  I like a nice, squared-up card and this tilty-whirly nonsense makes me twitch - am the only one?

I did the best I could.  I used the amazing Wings of HOPE from The Alley Way Stamps - it's the freebie this month when you spend $40 or more and today is the LAST day you can get this little lovely free...who doesn't love free?

And just because I still had the Color Throwdown colors out on my desk from yesterday's card, I used them again - they were perfect for this card:

Wish BIG Sneak Peek & JUGS 181

Are you as excited as I am????  I can't believe another month has passed so quickly and we're already in the midst of another fantastic release from The Alley Way Stamps.  Today we're sneak-peeking the third set, Wish BIG, and it's an AMAZING birthday set...a wrapped gift, a party hat, balloons and a banner - and the sentiments I {love}.

Here's my card using one of those sentiments:

I also used the Just Us Girls' color combo and a Seize the Birthday sketch - too late for STB but I loved the simplicity of the sketch...perfect for those last minute cards!

What do you think?  I know it doesn't really show the awesomenosity of the entire set, but I bet the rest of the girls can help you with that one.  Stop on over at the TAWS blog to see what else the talented ladies have done with this set.

See you on Saturday for our TAWS Blog Hop where you could win all three of the new sets! 

 

4CCC-135 {Easter}

Hello again everyone! It's time for a brand new 4 Crafty Chicks' Challenge and this week my friend, Lori, is our hostess-with-the mostest.  With only a few days left before Easter, you must ALL be in the Easter mood so that's what our challenge is this week...Easter. :)  Easy peasy, right?

This week's colour combo over at the Colour Q challenge are perfect, soft colors for a quick Easter card.  Combine it with the sketch from RetroSketches and magic happens... ;)

Quick.  Simple.  Awesome.  The sentiment is from the TAWS set, Spring Has Sprung...bunnies and chicks and eggs...OH MY!  Perfect for this time of year.
