Hi Dawn - happy birthday! I am grateful for all of the 'obvious' things, but I am also grateful for air conditioning. :)

Birthday Giveaway
Hello, Dearies. Today just happens to be my birthday....my 36th, to be exact and it seems that I have a bit of a birthday tradition around here.....one that involves being grateful for the blessings in my life and one that involves birthday gifts -- for one of YOU. To read past birthday po...
Holy moly is right:) I think I took the 'challenge' part a teensy bit too far! Have a glass of sangria on me.

Our challenge today was to use Chocolate, Melon Berry and Scarlet Jewel. What can I say other than .....holy moly Maria, those were some tough colours to work with! Yikesa. I just received my latest Technique Tuesday order and used Mon Ami Paris on my card. The second I stamped the i...

Our challenge today was chosen my our one and only Dee. She chose Rainbows. Kinda fun right? Well I just happened to have a rub on sentiment that was just perfect for this challenge. Sorry about the crappy pic. I got home super late and didn't have very good natural light left. On...
Stressy tears! Oh no! Big hugs. And the card? LOVE it. And I'm laughing...you may not have put a heart on there but you did use the word 'heart'. Pfft!

OK....so a few weeks ago I ask the Loonie girls if one of them can use "Text Paper" as their challenge coming up cuz I made a card that has text on it and wanted to use it. My wonderful BFF Wendy says she will! Yay, right? Um, no....because she goes and specifies that it has to have Kraf...

Hi there! Welcome to the latest Loonie Stamper Challenge...the one where our girl Dee has lost her mind! She picked our least favorite color (plum) and combined it with my personal second least favorite, lemon tart. In the spirit of 'if you can't beat 'em, join 'em' I decided to add in ...
Ms. Delaware here...so to keep that title do I have to compete in the swimsuit competition? Or can I just go with evening gowns and a snappy response as to how I'd bring about world peace? lol Love you too, you crazy biatch. Oh - got any 100lb. items you'd like me to lug through the airport? *wink* And your card rocks, too.

Our Ms Delaware herself, Maria, chose this weeks colours. LOVE these {almost as much as I love her}. I made this retro-y shaped embellishment. At least I see it as retro. The design is on some October Afternoon paper that I'm sure you've seen. I used a circle punch to cut 4 pieces from...

FRIDAYYYYY!!!! TG! So how does this colour combo grab you this wonderful Friday morning? It's sure to give you a shake and wake you up that's for sure! Such a wicked combo. Way to go Dee. I totally feel like I channeled my inner "Teri" to make this card. You know....eyelets, string...
Good gracious, Char - not paper plates! *giggle* I use them every chance I get:) Love the cards and no, I wouldn't add stitching. You might get me to try heat embossing, though...

These amazing colours were chosen by Jewels. And YES I LOVE them! After not being in the craft room for well over a week these were some fun colours to play with and it felt great. I think the second card needs a stitched border all the way around it though. Do you agree?? My pics ...

Hi there! If you read the same blogs I do, you've probably seen a lot of butterflies and epoxy stickers out in the blogosphere right now. I figure, if you can't beat 'em, join 'em! I did do something a little different to my butterfly...I used my Copic markers and colored on the sweet blush...

While everyone's thoughts are quickly turning towards Fall we are going to hold on to summer as long as we can because here in Calgary we are experiencing temps in the high 20's (celcius) and having nicer days than we have had all summer. ...
These are fantastic! Seriously...and your framed tin tiles are absolutely gorgeous. I really like how different your foil looks because you didn't mount it on cardstock first. I think I might just have to steal your idea!!!

I'm so laughing. I was right with you in the complaint department until I actually made my card - Dee is quite the color genius:) And Char - your card is so peaceful and clean - I love it and I'm sure your friends will, too.

I will tell you that when one of the girls chooses a colour challenge that I think is hard or just plain odd I whine and torment them with my whining. This week Dee chose Scarlet Jewel, Aqua Mist, Ripe Avocado and Lemon Tart. Well I nearly fell down dead with shock. Oh I whined a...
Look at you getting your stitches on! Love that fuzzy layer, too. Such a happy card...sorry to hear the slump continues. Do what I do: turn off the computer and take a nap. If that doesn't work, roll over and take another nap. And then order out for dinner because, seriously, you can't be expected to cook while you fight this creative block. Thai food is just what you need. hee hee

Hi all!! Hope you are having a good weekend. I have been a bit of a slug, I'm afraid. No creativity in me at the moment. But I have good news. I had one card accepted in to the July 2009 issue of CARDS. Which means I have several rejects I can share with you!! LOL. I totally love...
