Long time no post!!!!

Wow!  I can't believe how long it has been since I have posted anything!  It is not like I haven't been making cards, I have, I just don't seem to have had the time to post any.

Today I am sharing a sweet little birthday card that I made for a little boy with terminal cancer and all he wants for his birthday is cards.  How could I NOT make a card for him?  I saw the story on Facebook.  The article is here:  http://www.wkrn.com/story/26061204/5-year-old-battling-cancer-only-wants-cards-for-birthday

I used some Lime Twist paper by My Minds Eye and my Up, Up and Away stamp set from Papertrey Ink.  I hope this sweet boy gets hundreds of cards to put a smile on his face!!

The address to send the cards to if you are so inclined is:
Danny Nickerson
PO Box 212
Foxboro, MA 02035

I hope to post more of my cards today and over the next few days!

Love You Today, Tomorrow & Forever

What do I do when I can't sleep at 3 am?  I come downstairs to my crap room and play with paper!!!  That makes me happy :)

Last night was a really rough night.  I woke up at 3 and was WIDE AWAKE!!  UGH!  So I came downstairs to my crap room and whipped up a quick little card using the Teresa Collins Family Stories line.  I love how this turned out.  Quick, clean and simple and I love the colors, they make me happy :)

It is freezing here (actually it is 20 degrees outside right now, brrrr!) and it will be cold all weekend, so I plan on getting lots of crafty time, so hopefully I will be back with another card tomorrow!  Stay warm!

Thanks for stopping by!

August Card Class

How was everyone's weekend?  Ours was good.  Today we attended the Christening of the sweetest baby boy!!  He is adorable and was as good as gold.  He is the baby of some long time friends of ours and we got to visit with lots of other old time friends and do some catching up!

I have my card samples up at the store for my August card class.  As usual I am keeping them simple.  I did do a sort of artsy one using distress ink pads because I was very inspired by a card that the very talented Jennifer McGuire made here: http://www.jennifermcguireink.com/2013/07/video-watercolor-stamp-your-story-blog-hop-giveaway.html  If you haven't checked out her blog, do it now!!  She makes it look oh so easy and I just love her stuff!!

Anyway, tomorrow is Monday and it is back to the old grind stone.  Now that my samples are made for my class, I am hoping to find time to play in the final week of the online card class that I am taking!  I hope to be back soon with some more new cards.  Have a great week!

Summer Card Camp 2 Thanks Card

I'm back with another quick CAS card from the online summer card camp 2 class.  On Saturday there were some bonus color combo's to choose from and I chose the yellow, pale pink, brown, white and black combo.  I left off the black.  I also used a sketch from the first day of class by Jennifer McGuire.  There is no stamping on my card today.  I used a die cut from memory box.  This came together pretty quick and I will be using this sketch again and again! 

I had one of my dearest friends come and visit this weekend whom I haven't seen in over 22 years, so I didn't have any time to play.  We were too busy yapping and catching up, lol!  It was awesome!!!!

Anyway, here is my card:

 

supplies:

marshmallow, espresso cardstock

Teresa Collins - Summer Stories

My Minds Eye - Collectable

die cut - memory box

button & twine
