I can't believe I haven't posted in a couple of weeks, where did the time go?? I think it had a lot to do with the amazing weather we have been having here in Calgary so no need to hibernate in my craft room. But I did put together this little one for my Mom for Mother's Day and used the MFT Wednesday sketch for my card. Once you have that Pretty Poppies set from MFT, you can't put it down! I do need to master the middle section of the poppy though, I see others adding centers to the... Continue reading

Grad season is coming up and I have some good friends who's kids will be heading out into the world or looking to further their education. I can't believe we have kids that old! When I saw the MFT sketch last week and I loved the banner idea for a grad card, so I made 5 cards the same to have ready for June. Coincidentally, they are all boys so it worked out well as all the cards are masculine looking. I had to change the paper a bit, but only because I ran out. Isn't he handsome! I love...

Morning my friends! Can you believe we had more snow this weekend! I don't know about that groundhog, he is a liar I tell you! So because of the crappy weather, I was able to spend some time in my craft room making a few birthday cards. Needed to stock up my stash. I used the MFT sketch for my card, especially the banner across the top, love that look! I hadn't used Hello Cupcake for quite awhile and forgot how cute she is! If you haven't picked up the MFT Blueprint die-namic, what are you waiting for, it rocks!... Continue reading

Morning friends! Is it Friday yet? uuggg My daughters good friend Kyra turns 16 tomorrow. That means Joely isn't that far off. I can't believe I will have a 16 year old, hell, I still feel 21...HA! I wish. Whenever Kyra comes over for a visit, she loves hanging in my craft room so I had to make her a card to celebrate her special day. Kyra is a 'ginger' so I hope my PI girl's hair shows that! I used the MFT Wednesday sketch for my layout. I just love this PI, the hands on her hips is such... Continue reading

Hello friends! What are you doing....playing Candy Crush? I hate that damn game...ok it is a love hate thing really! I am stuck on 65 so does anyone have any pointers how to beat that level??? I made a card tonight for no reason other than to try out the new Blueprints die-namic set from MFT. How did I do? This die set would be a great gift for someone who wants to get into card making. It also helps when your mojo isn't working and need to make a card...wam bam, thank you mam! Now I am off to... Continue reading

Happy Easter Everyone! It is a wonderful weekend here in Calgary, hopefully it will stay this way and no more snow! I had time to sneak in a card this weekend in between all the Easter festivities. This is for the MFT Wednesday sketch challenge. I don't know about you but this new Pretty Poppies set from MFT is 'da bomb! I started with the red and black but after seeing all the amazing cards using different colours, I can't wait to try it with say purple or yellow! Thanks for visiting! Enjoy your day hanging with chocolate bunnies! Ciao....... Continue reading

Monday already? yuck.... But on a good note, we had a great weekend! We thru a surprise 40th party for my baby brother this weekend and it was a huge success. He had no idea and a great time was had by all! Maybe a bit too much for some of us as I didn't really leave the couch yesterday! So of course I had to make him a card so I used the MFT Wednesday sketch for the layout. I have a hard time making a masculine card but with this set and matching die from MFT, it was...

Hello my fellow crafters! I was totally pumped when I saw that my card was picked for Karen's Sweet Sunday Sketch last week which means I get to be the guest designer for today's sketch. Pinch me now! I had fun creating this card but did have a bit of trouble with the small corner panel but I think it turned out ok. Easter is just around the corner so I thought I would get a jump on my cards with this cutie from MFT. Paper piecing is one of my favorite things to do and so easy too. Especially... Continue reading

Morning fellow crafters! Almost the weekend and I can't wait. The weather here is supposed to be amazing and I plan to take advantage of it! I threw together this little number last night while watching The Walking Dead, OMG, love that creepy show! This is for the MFT Wednesday sketch challenge. I love the photography sets and die's MFT has right now. They were on backorder for some time but as soon as I saw them in my cart, I pushed 'order now' so fast to make sure no one else stole my stuff!!! I love paper piecing the... Continue reading

My adorable, sweet, way too cute niece's birthday is today and we are having a party for 5th year with us! She was born pre-mature, 4 lbs at 32 weeks, and today she is a crazy, energetic, amazing girl! Happy Birthday Katie! I used Karen's Sweet Sunday sketch for her card. This layout was fun to create with. Katie loves going to Build-a-bear so I thought I would make her card hinting on what my gift is to her! Hope she enjoys it! Have a great Sunday! Ciao.... Supplies: Stamps - The Cat's Pajamas and MFT; Paper - True Thyme,... Continue reading

Yes, I made another card for the Love Fest over at Splitcoast. Today's card was for the MFT challenge posted yesterday so I knew I had to participate with my old Design Team mates! I also took advantage and used the MFT Wednesday sketch for my card as having a base to start with is the only way to create for me. I struggle without a sketch sometimes. Ok, off to work I go. See you tomorrow with another card, yes, another! I am on a roll! Ciao! Supplies: Stamps - MFT You're my Cup of Tea; Paper - White,... Continue reading

Look what I played along with today, a challenge with Splitcoast, crazy hey! I loved the colour combo the Cat's Pajamas inspiration challenge was using so I thought I would try it out. I coloured PJ yellow first but he was way too bright, looked a little creepy actually! Ok, off to do another challenge, or I hope! Ciao.... Supplies: Stamps - TCP; Paper - Black, Grey, White, Pink Paislee Indigo Blue 6X6 paper; Stuff - MFT Die-namics, Copics Continue reading

Happy Sunday Everyone! I have had all day to just sit here and hang in my craft room and play! Don't get many of those days much anymore so I am taking full advantage of it. I played along with the MFT Sketch from Wednesday and came up with this one. I can see now that I need to re-ink my Memento pad! Better get that done before the next card! I bought myself a glue gun for those MFT Die-namic roses as I was told that was the way to go to get them to stay. It was my... Continue reading

Don't fall off your chair when you see how quick I got this challenge done! But I had a surge of creativity last night while watching 'The Lucky One', have you seen it?? Is it wrong that I think Zac Efron is hot??? Now onto my sketch before all our minds head into the gutter....too late?? :) I really loved this sketch! I really need birthday cards so I may use this one for a few more as it was super quick to put together. Have I told you how much I love MFT! I got my new stuff already... Continue reading

Good Superbowl Sunday to you all! I hope you are having a wonderful weekend. Are you watching the game?? Not sure either, depends if I can get the game in my craft room... :)! I was thrilled to see that one of my cards was named Favorite Find for January with MFT, love when that happens! I wanted to show you some cards I had made which I was inspired by this card from Mona Pendleton for the MFT Guest Designer sketch. I am not submitting them to win as I felt they were too much like Mona's, ok almost... Continue reading

Hello Peeps! Weekend is almost here, I can feel the excitement building. I have lots of stuff planned so lets hope I get it all done. I was able to sneak in a little crafting time this week and did Karen's Sweet Sunday Sketch. I have so much paper to use before I start buying more, but it is so hard not to push 'add to cart'! Have you seen all the new lines coming out from everyone like MME to Cosmo Cricket! Damn....this is why I need to craft more just to buy more! :) Enjoy and see you... Continue reading

Morning and happy Monday to you! Everyone have a good weekend? Good...me too! I was able to sneak in some time to craft, always love that! I made this one this weekend for the MFT Wednesday sketch challenge this past week. I had a heck of a time deciding what to use for those two angled strips, a die-namic, pattern paper or ribbon? So I went with the ribbon but now that I see it, I wish I would have choose something else, you ever feel that way? But I do love that new Valentine paper from Bo Bunny. I... Continue reading

Wow, are you like me and can't believe it is 2013! I remember when we were all wow'd about the year 2000 and that seems like just a couple of years ago! But I think this year is going to be good one! One of my resolutions for this year is to do more challenges. When I look back I hardly created at all, or at least posted them. So this year I am really going to try and post a couple times a week....wish me luck! First one of the year, of course, is the MFT Weekly sketch. Loved... Continue reading

Morning my friends! Haven't posted a lot lately, sorry! We have so busy getting ready to leave for our Christmas vacation this Friday, I have hardly crafted a thing. We are heading to Hawaii for 2 weeks...I know, we are all so excited! But I did want to sneak in one more sketch before the end of the year. I did miss a couple of months for Jen's monthly sketch so no prize for me, but I still wanted to do it as it might be her last, at least for awhile! Unfortunately, I had to make a sympathy card... Continue reading

Hi! Where have I been?!?!?! Sorry, life is getting in the way of my craft time, I hate when that happens hey! But when I saw the MFT sketch today, I knew I was going to use it as soon as I got home for one of my Xmas cards. I almost have them all done and hope to get them in the mail soon. When I saw this ALM being released last week, I literally pee'd my pants! I freakin' love her and have made TONS of cards with her already....and I just got my MFT stuff not even... Continue reading

Morning! How was everyone's weekend? Are you ready for Halloween, me neither. But I plan to head out and pick up candy tonight. I love seeing the little kids in their costumes, they are so cute. I had a little time this weekend to start my Xmas cards, yes, I said start! I am panicing a bit, thank you for asking! I used MFT's sketch from last week for this one. I know this Pure Innocence isn't a Christmas stamp but I couldn't help using her for a least one of my cards. Now that I see her here, I... Continue reading

Hi Peeps! I know, it has been awhile. I just haven't had any time to stamp till today! Joely was out with friends and Rory was curling so I snuck in a card, or two, while they were gone. I used Karen's Sweet Sunday sketch for this card and loved how it turned out. I did flip it on its side though. I have been coveting this MFT set, Behind the Camera, for sometime and finally bit the bullet and ordered it, so glad I did! Thanks for coming for a visit. See you soon!!!! Stuff: Stamps - MFT Behind... Continue reading

Happy Sunday! I snuck in a card while the family soundly slept yesterday. I am not the best sleeper and even on the weekends I have a hard time sleeping in so I am up and at 'em pretty early with coffee in hand. So I thought I would play along with the MFT team and did the weekly sketch. Isn't she darling! I love Prehistoric Girl, she is so cute and easy to paper piece. You think this could pass as a Halloween card??? Good, thanks! :) Thanks for visiting! See you soon....Ciao. Continue reading
