It's Wednesday, and you know what that means...

New Challenge Day at

Fab 'n Funky

(It's a good one!!)

This weeks theme is called

"It's all in the eyes"

Now doesn't that sound rather bizarre? We bet a few of you are panicing right now and thinking "how do I do this challenge?" but this week it is a photo inspiration challenge and when you see the photo, you will understand the title of the theme . . .

Here is how I decided to interpret this beautiful photo :

Please stop over and link up your creations at :

Happy Birthday - Clean and Simple

Hello Bloggy Friends,

Just a quick post for me this morning, as per usual, it's a busy day and I have got to get my rear in gear.

Todays card was made using the current sketch at

Clean and Simple :

And here is my take :

Not the best pictures because the light was not cooperating.

But I hope you enjoyed, anyways.

 Sticking to my resolution and yep, that's right, another "manly" card!! Yeah!!

Have a great day.

Share a smile!!

House Warming Gift

Happy Monday Everyone,

Today I am going to show you a set of mini cards that I made for my sister who just moved into a new house. Unfortunatly I won't be able to see her new place for a while because she lives a ways away but hopefully soon... fingers crossed.

But here is the set of cards :

And them all together :

They were a lot of fun to put together and I hope you enjoyed this cute little set.

 All of the images are digital images from Whimsie Doodles.

I am playing along with the "NEW" theme this month.

Thanks for popping in. I'll be back later with one more to show you.

Alexis



Sketchy Sunday

Hello Crafty World!!

I had a productive/ creative morning and I wanted to share some of my creations. I seem to have followed alot of sketches this morning so that is what I am going to show you. First I will start with the sketch and then I will show you my interpretation.

** warning, this is a photo heavy post **

I hope you enjoy the eye candy as much as I enjoyed creating them.

Sketchbook Saturday Sketch :

and mine :

This little cutie was created with my Cricut.

I did some faux stitching and some real stitching.

I am also entering this card in the

Crazy 4 Challenges - Child's Birthday Challenge

The next sketch is from

The Sweet Stop

 (I didn't realize it was supposed to be Valentine's - OOPPS)

and my interpretation :

The Sweetest Thing - sketch

Good Morning Everyone,

I have a busy day. We are out early to go to my mom's and celebrate her birthday. I need to get 2 ards done before that, so this post will be short and sweet. I created this card a few days ago using the sketch from The Sweetest Thing, and I wanted to post it while the challenge is still going on :

It's going in my stash for manly cards. I know, cupcakes aren't usually manly but I think the color scheme definitly is more manly than me usually pinks and purples.

Well, it gotta run. Hav a great day. Thanks for popping in!!

Love You So...

Hello Everyone,

I just wanted to post this little card before I called it an evening. It's been a long day, so forgive my shortness.

This past weeks challenge at CARDS was to create a project with rolled paper. I did the old fashioned paper quilling. It was alot of fun. Here is my valentine card :

I know I'm not the best quiller but it was fun to do something that I do not normally do.

You can check out the rest of the great "rolled paper" projects over at CARDS blog. Next weeks challenge os an easy one - square punch. Should be fun!!

Thanks for popping in.

Have a good night

I used the sketch over at Card Patterns

Super Girly - Just for Fun!!

Hey Everyone,

I'm back with two girly cards for you.

This first one is one of my favourites in a long time. I wasn't thrilled with my coloring but when the whole card came together - I love it. Something about how muted it is?!! I don't know, it speaks to me...

Anyways, enough about my blabbing, let's just show you the card already :

Detailed shot :

And for the second card :

and a detailed shot :

See, I told you - super girly!!

And a rarity, I'm not playing along with any challenges for these. I just made them, for the sake of making them. Let me know what you think?

thanks, Alexis

The Sweet Stop

Hello, hello.

I thought I would grab a quiet moment and post this little card I made yesterday.

It's snowing here today and has been on and off for a few days so my daughter is outside sledding with the neighborhood friends, the house is quiet so I wanted to show you a new little card.

Here it is :

Definitly not my usual colors but I am trying to branch out and be daring!! I usually like unique colors, so I thought, why not?? I let the patterned paper do the talking. It said browns and yellows so that's what I reached for with my Copics.

I used the sketch over at The Sweet Stop.

Hope you like it.

I am going to run and make my daughter some hot cocoa so she can warm up when she's ready to come in!!

Have a great day!!

Warm hugs (especially if you are in Vancouver today!!)
