Good Morning!
 It has been raining for the last 3 days.  Couldn't believe I woke up to it still raining.
My lil ones are still sick.  Lil Max is getting better and Isabel has just started her sickness.
She has a fever and a little cough.  I hope they get better soon.  I hate seeing my kids not feeling well.

Did you get a chance to see our kit reveal yesterday?

Good morning!!  

It's a gloomy and rainy day here which is good, maybe it will keep my kids vegged out on the couch.  My youngest is still really sick. 

Today I have three cards to share with you that our Delightful Designer, Karen created.  

Karen created these cards to send for the "Cards from the Heart" card drive.  Artful Delight is one of the sponsors.  

KAREN

For more details please visit Karen's blog here.

Those are so cute!  Love them.

What are your plans for the weekend?  I have the whole weekend off and I plan on taking it easy.  I need my family to get better!!  :-(

Love card

TGIF my friends.  

First I want to let you know we will be doing our kit reveal on Sunday the 27th.  I had some projects to share today and tomorrow so I postponed the reveal.  

I cannot believe the end of the month is nearing.  

Feels like just yesterday was New Years.  

This is the 3rd Friday in a row that I have had to take off for sick kids.  Tony has off Mon-Thurs and so when he goes to work on Friday's my kids have still been sick and I have to take off.  
I just want my babies to get better.  

I ended up having to take Max to the doctor last night because he was complaining about his ear.  He has had some pretty high fevers too.  Makes me sad to see my kids in pain.  :-(    

So, today is Friday.....what are your plans?  

Well let's see what we have to share with you today......

A-mazing cards created by our Delightful Designer, Rose.    

ROSE

For more details please visit Rose's blog here. 

Alright well be sure to stop by here this weekend.  We have more awesome projects to share with you tomorrow and then Sunday is the kit reveal. 

Oh and we also have to announce the winner of this month's sketch challenge.  :-)

 

Love forever

Good Morning!!
Super cute card to share today.  
Our Delightful Designer, Sherry, created this beauty using our January card kit.    

SHERRY

Love all the detail she added to some of the elements in the kit.  The "forever" chipboard was painted and coated with glossy accents, the heart was covered in black ink and the excess was removed.  

Fabulous card!!

Happy Sunday! 
I decided to go to work yesterday and that was probably a big mistake.  About an hour in to my day I was feeling really crappy.  I ended up leaving early.  I have today and tomorrow off and I plan to take it easy.  I am so tired of feeling sick already.  :-(  

So I am sure I am a bit behind on finding this out because I don't get online much but I was super duper excited to find out CHA-Summer will be in Vegas this year.  Oh yeah baby..... 
I might actually be in attendance.    
And since it falls the week in between two of my children's birthdays then we can make a family vacay out of it.  

Ok, so it's Sunday and I am excited to be watching football.  I will also be assembling our February kits.  Yippee!!  

Our LO today was created by one of our very talented designers, Kate. 
Each month Kate gets to play with our scrapbook kit.  This is what she created for us today.    

 Kate

 

Kate created that heart doily using the cardstock included in the kit and her Silhouette Cameo.  Artful Delight carries both the Cameo and the new Portrait.  We offer free shipping on both of those items. 

 

 Kate explains below how she created the LOVE postage stamp. 

I used the stamps from the kit to create the LOVE postage stamp. To make the embellishment look like an authentic postage stamp follow these steps:

1. Stamp the LOVE image with Black ink onto patterned paper.
2. Cut out the image leaving about 1/10 of an inch gap between the edge of the paper and where the stamp starts on the paper. 
3. Take a tiny hole punch (mine is about 1/16 of an inch), and punch along the edge of the paper with your punch half on, and half off of the paper, lining up the scallop of the stamped image with your punch.

  

Ahhh, love it!! 

For more details, please visit Kate's blog here.

Just a reminder, Artful Delight carries a small variety of paper crafting items aside from our monthly kits.  If there is ever an item that you are looking for that we don't carry, we do accept special orders.  There is no additional charge to you and there is a good chance we can beat any price out there.
 Just send us an email with your request and we will do our best to get it to you.  If there is any manufacturer or product out there that you would like to see us carry on a regular basis, feel free to let us know as well.  I would like to expand our store as one day we have hopes of opening a store front I just want to make sure we are carrying those items that one would buy online.

I welcome any feedback that you may have.
Have a wonderful Sunday!! :-) 

Love

Good Morning my friends.

Super cute card to share with you today that our Delightful Designer, Sherry, created.


Sherry

 

Love the flower that was made with the tulle ribbon included in the kit.  I bought a cheap purse from the store the other day, it's black and white and I want to add some homemade flowers to it to add some color.  I might have to make of those flowers too. 
 
For more details please visit Sherry's blog here.

I am always so inspired by my designers!  Have you been inspired?

Only a few more days to enter our sketch challenge, check out our sidebar and upload your project by January 23rd for your chance to win.  :-)

TGIF!!! 

So I had to take  the day off because my lil man spiked a fever last night.  He slept from 5:30 last night until about 6:30 this morning.  

We have a long weekend for the kids since Monday is Martin Luther King holiday so maybe with 4 days away from school he will have time to get better.  

I am a little thankful that I had to call in because  I feel really bad myself.   I would have taken some medicine and gone to work but I know I would have been miserable. 

I did send my two other lil ones to daycare so my son could have a quiet relaxing day at home to rest. 

I just want my family to all feel better.   

Well we are back today to share more amazing projects with you. 

Our Delightful Designer, Rose has created these awesome cards.  Love them!!

Good morning my friends!!!  
My son is feeling better and I am super excited.  I think we have all had the flu now in some sort of way so hopefully we are ALL past it now.  
We have had some crazy temps here in the desert.  I woke up to 22 degree temps.  WOW!!  I like the cold weather from say Thanksgiving to Christmas but the day after Christmas I am more than happy to have warmer weather.  :-)
I think next week we will be back up in the 70's, I can't wait.  

So today I have an AWESOME LO to share with you that our Delightful Designer, Kate created using our January scrapbook kit.      

 Kate

 

Love the paint splatters.  Love what she did with the tulle trim that is included in the kit.  WOW, I just love all the detail!!!  

For more details please visit Kate's blog here.

I will spend my day watching football, doing a little grocery shopping and laundry because it is back to work tomorrow.
As much as my paycheck will suffer a bit, I am happy we have hired a bunch of new people so I can stop working overtime.  For about 4 months I have been working open to close, which means I leave for work just after dropping my kids off at school and I arrive home to sit for a quick dinner before putting my kids to bed.  I miss my family.

There is still time to play along with our sketch challenge this month.  Check out the sketches in the sidebar, play along with one or both for double your chances of winning.  Upload your project(s) by January 23rd for your chance to win your choice of February kit.
 

Sweetie Pie

Good Morning my friends. 

Well one of my kids was hit with the bug.  I was hoping my kids would be able to avoid it but not so much.  My kindergartener came home on Thursday giving details about the boy in his class that threw up all over the carpet in his classroom.  Well my boy showed NO SIGNS of being sick on Friday so I sent him to school.  I mean Thursday night he was running around playing, laughing and having a good time.  

I went to work on Friday and at 10am my son's school called and said he wasn't feeling well.  He said his belly hurt and he had a temp of 102 degrees.  I immediately left work.  

I just hope nobody else gets sick.  Especially me, I can't miss anymore of work.  

Anywho....

Seriously this month has been amazing for inspiration using our January kits. 

Today's inspiration comes from our Delightful Designer, Sherry.  

Sherry

Absolutely fabulous!!!
