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

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

Favorite Color with WW

Hello there!

Happy Wednesday everyone!  It's time for another 

challenge with Whimsical Designs.  Ok, so this week Stephanie

challenged us to create with our favorite colors.  So our sponsor

The Paper Parade asked us what our favorite colors were. Then she 

 sent us all a kit with the colors in it.  I don't really have a favorite

but I do love pink and brown.  So I told her pink and brown.  

Well, I received a wonderful kit and made a 6 X 6 layout.  

 I still have some things left that I will be using soon.

And here it is...

Every thing I used is from the paper Authentique "cherish two" paper.

I added the flowers and bling from my stash.  The "precious" is also from

The Paper Parade.  I'm going to place it in my grand daughter's album that
I'm making for her.  That's why it's not very dimensional.  The sentiment

"Sprinkled with love" is from Whimsical Designs.
"With Love".

So come by and take the challenge.  The prize is a $15.00 certificate.

Have a great day!

Christmas in July with WW

Hello my crafty friends

How are you today?  It's raining pretty hard out today.  I just hope tomorrow is nice

since it's the 4th of July tomorrow.   Well, today is another Whimsical Wednesday

challenge.  Stephanie challenged us to "Christmas in July".  First I though,

Christmas?  But you know what?  I loved it!  I love Christmas and the feeling was

wonderful.  So, I am happy to say I enjoyed making this card.

The paper I used for the image and the back round is from Tim Holtz.  I cut the cute

little reindeer with my cricut, using the "Paper Doll Dress Up" cartridge.  The ribbon

is from a swap I did with Gina and then to finish it off buttons and bling from my stash.

My sentiment is from Whimsical Designs "Snow Much Fun"

Our sponsor this week is... "The Robins' Nest"

And the Prize: Christmas Package worth $25

ATC ~ WW

Hello everyone,

It's Wednesday!  Another DT project for you from Whimsical Designs.

I just love being challenge every week with something different.  This week

I was excited because our challenge is an "ATC".  The reason I"m excited is

because I have not made one in a while and I forgot how much fun they are to

make.  So of course I went crazy and made two.  Yes!  Just got it out of my

system.  LOL   Here they are...

Ok so this one here is the one for this challenge.  I used paper from "Pink Paislee".

The image you see is from our sponsor this week.  SKdigis.   They let us choose an

image to work with and this cute little monkey was my choice.

 He is Moses The Monkey.

I added some flowers from Wild Orchids and some goodies from my stash.

The sentiment is from the Whimsical Fun Vol.1 stamp set.

And of course both cards are at 2 1/2 X 3 1/2.

With this one here I used Graphic 45 paper "My Ladies Dairy"  The dress form 

is from Lindys.  I also used here some goodies from my stash and the sentiment

is from Whimsical Fun Vol. 1 as well.

And that is it for today.  This week our prize is from SKdigis and their prize

is a $6. voucher.

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

my fairy is cut with my Spellbinder Nestabilities Lacey Ovales.  The sentiment

Great therapy for the three of us.

Anyway, it's time for sketch #24 at Graphicat Sketchs.  I have to say

that I love this sketch.  This is what I made...

And this is the sketch...

Love Letter Sophie

Hello everyone

How are you?  Spring is almost here.  Yay!  So that makes me very happy. I can't 

complain because we didn't have a bad winter at all.  It's just that I love the Spring.

But anyway, I am here today to share with you a card I made as a DT project for

Sweet Nothings.   And here it is....

  

I just love the image.  This image is call Love Letter Sophie.  Isn't she beautiful?

I used the 6 x 6 paper "Bramble Rose" by My Minds Eye.  

I love the charm from "spare parts" on the seam binding.  Every thing I used

was from my stash.  And I have to admit, I just love the way it came out.

If you want to see the details, check out my You Tube Video.

I love reading your comments, so I hope you do so.
