Card, junk journal and box

Hello my friends.

How is everyone doing today?  Looks like Fall weather is almost

here.  I love the Fall colors but not what follows.... Shhh Winter!  

I don't like Winter but I guess it's comforting to know that Spring 

will follow.  And that's good.  :-) 

So today I want to share 3 things I made for my design team project

with Mel's Craft Boutique.  

I used a lot of beautiful items from Mel's shop on this card.  I then sent it

to my mother in law for her birthday, along with the following junk journal I

made for her also using items from the shop.

Here is my You Tube video on this card and book if you 

want to check them out more closely.

I also altered the following box.

Now this little box was fun.  I believe I picked it up once at

the dollar store.  It's very simple yet cute.  Here is the

You Tube video on this altered box.

And that is it for today.  I hope you are all having a wonderful day.

Hugs,

Yvette

Die Cutting Divas sketch challenge

Hello friends,

I am happy to say that I was asked to be a guest for the

Die Cuttin Divas.   The challenge is a sketch, which is one

of my favorite things to do.   I find it challenging and inspiring.

So here is my take on the sketch that follows:

 For my image I choose Olaf.  I used the new Frozen Cricut cartridge.

I had fun cutting him out at about 4 inches.   The paper pad I used is call

"The Sweetest thing ~ tangerine" by My Mind's Eye.

I hope you're having a great day and thanks again Diva's for having me 

as your guest.  

Hugs,

Yvette

Pile it up for WW

Hello there

Happy Wednesday!  I just got back from Cape Cod late last night.  It's always

great to come home after a few days.  I always forget how beautiful the
Cape is until I'm there again.

Well today Stephanie's challenge with Whimsical Designs is to Pile it Up!!!
We had to make a project that includes at least 3 layers and 2 or more
embellishments.  Our sponsor this week is the same as last week.
Yup!  The Paper Parade!  And here is my card all piled up...

I used the 6 x 6 paper stack "Ginger" from Indie Chic, and another paper

but I can't remember which one. I'm not sure LOL. I did some stitching

with my sewing machine on the paper.  I went around it twice to give it

that look.  I used a rub on from Michael's, which is really a candelabra. 

So I rubbed it upside down to make it look like a chandelier.  Then 

I added some pearls as light bulbs.  I think it's pretty neat.  

The image you see is "Andrea's Halo." Isn't she just adorable and sexy?  

To complete my card I added some flowers,

buttons, and an adorable butterfly.  And of course the sentiment is from the

stamp set "Everyday Sentiments."   Great stamp set!

So let's see you pile it up.  Come play with us and maybe you can be the

winner this week for Whimsical Designs.  Prize is a 15$ certificate

from...

Take care and big hugs

Beach Bum Lucky

Hello there

How are you all doing?  Today I want to share a simple card with you that

I created for my DT project with SNSC.  I decided to use Beach Bum Lucky

since it's hot out and a lot of people are thinking about the beach.  So, here is my

cute and simple sweet card. 

I used the 6 x 6 paper pad call "Sunshowers" by Heidi Grace.  The chipboard

embellissements are from Me and My big ideas.  I also added a piece of mesh that

I had in my stash. I did color Lucky with my copics and popped him

up with pop dots.  And so my sweet friends this is my simple card for today. :-)

I hope you are all enjoying your summer so far.
You Tube Video  for this card.

Stay safe and big hugs

Graphicat Sketch #26

Hello my friends

I hope every one had a fun weekend and a great Mother's Day.

My weekend was wonderful.  I spent it with my beautiful family.  And now it's

a new week.  Yay!  So... we are starting it off with a new sketch from

Graphicat Sketches.

This is the sketch we had to follow...

And this is my card following the sketch....

The paper I used is from the 6 x 6 paper pad from Basic Grey and it's call

"Konnichiwa".  The middle flower is from IAR and the other two my sister gave 

to me in a RAK.  The metal embellishment you see, I purchased from Monica

at the scrap yard on YT.

That's about it.  I hope you liked my sentiment.  It's from Graphicat.

Take care and don't forget to have fun!

Bike Ride Sophie and Lucky

Happy Monday Everyone

I hope you all started the week with a big smile.  If you didn't then this should 

make you smile.  My DT project this month with Sweet Nothing Stamp Co.

is one of our new images that was just release this month.  I used Bike Ride

Sophie and Lucky.  How cute!!!  

I needed to make a Mother's Day card for my Mother in Law, and at the same

time I had to make something for my project.  Well these guys look like hubby and

I and so I though it was perfect.  She lives in Florida, so inside I wrote that

we biked all the way to Florida to wish her a happy Mother's Day.  She loves my

cards so I though she would love that.

I used the Romance Novel paper from Prima.   All flowers are from IAM.

The gold one you see is a button, and I believe it's from Joann's.  Then of course

my little birdie from Recollection.  Oh let's not forget the lace from my stash.

I hope she likes it.  Happy Mother's Day to all the wonderful Mother's out there.

Big hugs

SNSC Focus Challenge

Hello there

Hope all is well on your side of the world.  Here in VA it's all good.

Today I have for you my project with Sweet Nothins Stamp Co.

It is our focus Challenge for this month using "Handyman Lucky."  Now you

know you have to go check out SNSC's to see what the other 

team members have created using the same image.

Here is my card...

Is he handsome or what?  I made it as a Birthday card for my son-in-law.  

He thought it was great.   I used the 6 x 6 paper call "Hey Boy" by

Basic Grey.  Every thing I used was from my stash.

I hope you enjoyed my card and go check out SNSC.  We also have 

a new release of new digis that you must check out.

"Bling"

Hello Beautiful Bloogers

It's Wednesday!! The middle of the week!  To me it means,  just a 

couple more days for the weekend.  Humm do I sound excited?  I have 

no idea why because I do have to work on Saturday, but I don't mind it

at all.  I like it and it's still "the weekend!!"  Wooo Hooo!

So for today's project with Whimsical Designs, our theme is "Bling."

That's an easy one, right?  I made this birthday card for my grand daughters

to give to their Mom for Mommy's Birthday.  They loved it and so

did my daughter.

And here it is.....

The paper that I used is from the 12 x 12 stack "The Neapolitan Collection"

by Recollections.  The banner is from the paper also which I stamped the letters

using my wooden stamps.   Flowers are from Michael's, turtle from Jolee's Boutique.

The little strawberries are eye lets. 

BLING! yes,  I added bling in 3 different places.  Even a little one on her bow.

The image I used is from our Sponsor this week.  Her name is

Strawberry Emma.  They let us pick one.  OMG, There were so many

 to pick from but I loved this one.  Soooo cute!!

Sponsor: The Paper Nest Dolls - 3 copics of winner's choice, 

5 if they use a Paper Nest Dolls image

http://www.the-papernest.com/cat/shop/

That's right!  Copic Markers!!!!

So go on over and add your project.

Have a beautiful day.

Gift Giving Sophie

Hello my friends,

Hope you are all doing well.  The weather here is crazy.  Last week it was

warm and this week it's cold out.  But, anyway today I have a special DT project 

with Sweet Nothings Stamp Co.  I made a Birthday Card, and it's special to me

because I made it for my daughter.  My oldest is having a Birthday!  How 

time flies.  30 years ago I held her in my arms and today she holds her

 own babies in her arms.  I'm very proud of her.  She's an amazing girl.

Happy Birthday Sweetie!

This is her birthday card...

I used the 6 x 6 paper "Tea-Thyme" paper by Prima.  The beautiful image

is "Gift Giving Sophie."  All the flowers are from I Am Roses. 

The sentiment is a clear stamp by Fiskars call "All year Greetings."

 I aded a few buttons. The border on the right is a Martha Steward punch 

call "Swirly Laces."  Here is my You Tube Video on this card.

I hope you enjoyed my card.  I can't wait to give it to my daughter this weekend.

Let me know what you think.
