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!!

Oh Baby!!

Good Morning,

Hope that everyone is enjoying their Sunday. Isn't Sunday the best??!!

Love Sunday!!

I woke up this morning with a sore back. My husband got a new T.V. and he needed my help carrying it up the stairs last night. Between the t.v. and the stand, my back is killing me. But any hoo, I don't have much on the go today so a little R & R will definitly be in order.

Okay, well, enough about that!!!

Let's get on to the good stuff. I am in need of a few baby cards in my stash so I thought I would play along with the current challenge at Really Reasonable Ribbon : I Got You, Babe.

Here's my take :

Don't you just love this Martha Stewart elephant punch? I do!!

I also used the sketch from Clean and Simple : FTL186

I made another version of the same card aswell :

I am also entering this card over at

Cute Card Thursday : Punches

Have a great day!!

Thanks for stopping by!!

Birthdays Are The Best!

Happy Sunday Evening

to all of my blogger friends!!

Tonight I am going to show you a cheerful birthday card.

I had a few jumping of inspirations :

Color Q colors :

Isn't this gorgeous color inspiration?

and I used the sketch from Clean and Simple

Here is my take :

It was nice to actually break out some of my lonely, lonely colored inks. I always seem to gravitate to my brown and black ink. I have a rather large assortment of colored ink, (which always turn out fab) but I always seem to forget about them?

Okay, well I better run!!

Have a great week!!

Enjoy the rest of the evening!!

Clean and Simple Meets JUGS!!

Hello Everyone,

How was your weekend? Hopefully it was good. Mine is just wrapping up - and it was a great weekend. Did a little shopping, a little family time, watched a great movie last night, had tome to craft...

What more could a girl ask for?

Tonight I have a card to show you that is a bit out of the norm for me. But I really enjoy how it turned out. It's definitly more simple than I usually go for, but my mom's words kept wringing in my head. K-I-S-S. And so here it is :

It was made using the sketch from Clean and Simple and the color inspiration came from the current challenge over at JUGS. (cream, kraft and black)

Don't cha just love the feather - I do. And unexpected twist. :)

Well, have a good evening and I'll be back soon to share some more cards from this mornings crafting session.

Here is a card I made using the sketch at OCC

and my inspiration was from the ETSY challenge

I love these large grommets - I have a whole case of them - just sitting there collecting dust so I thought I would pull out my hammer and grommet tool and go to town!!

And this little card was create for the sketch over at Clean and Simple

I also followed this guidelines over at Saturday Spotlight

 to create a birthday card using your birthstone. I'm a May baby so my birthstone is Emerald. And what do you know - I just happened to have emerald rhinestones in my stash!!

One more for ya...

This card was made with the Just Add Ink sketch

(I tipped it on the side and altered the dimensions - ever so slightly)

and I used the colors from the Play Date Cafe challenge
