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

Isn't it darling??
Here is a closeup of the handmade flowers :

I just used a funky ribbon I had, twirled it up into 3 rolls and cut them at different heights, put a large glue dot on the back and voila!! Instant embellishment!!

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 :

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!!)

So anyways, I printed a few of these images off and hers how she turned out :
