SFYTT - For 9/25/10

I am all out of titles for my posts, I just can't think of anything good anymore, LOL! Anywho last night I was EXHAUSTED. I had school and took another Math test which I aced. WAHOO! But by the time the kids were in bed, I ate dinner, showered and sat down to relax my eyes were burning from being so tired. So I made my card this morning (well took me all morning and in to the afternoon with my lil ones running around) and I participated in SFYTT.

Ok, so yes it is a Halloween card and it says "HI" but I don't have any Happy Halloween sentiments plus I think it would have been too big to go in that spot, so I went with a small sentiment with some super cool Thickers that I have for sale at Artfuldelight. Ooohh, more sneak peaks for the release of October's Monthly kit that will be up for sale tomorrow (probably in the afternoon). I am really excited about this kit because I think it will entice the scrapper and STAMPER. This kit will include a stamp set, chipboard shapes, buttons, Thickers and tons more so be sure to check back tomorrow for the release of the kit. I also used Nikki Sivils Boo-tiful 6x6 Mini Paddie on this card. This collection is super cute, love the colors! The Mini Paddie is also available at Artfuldelight. Don't you just love that spider, well it is included in October's kit. It is raw chipboard that I used some heat and stick powder and black glitter, it matched so nicely with the Thickers that I used for the "hi".

Well there ya have it. I am still trying to make it through all the DT emails I received and hopefully (fingers crossed) will have the team picked and posted tomorrow. Might be a couple more days though, seriously I don't think I received one email with creations that I didn't say WOW!!! So off to study for a test I have tomorrow.

Happy Crafting!!

Beware of dog...

Good Morning my friends, I have another LO to share with you today. Jamie has really been helping me out, school has been taking up my time (a little more than I thought) so she is going to share with you some LO's she made. Today's LO uses some fabulous products from Basic Grey.

The pattern paper Jamie used is Max and Whiskers! So cute! I am going to leave this post short as I have some DT submissions to go through, study for a Math test, complete some Accounting problems, maybe hit the gym, and then of course actually go to school. So it is a busy day. Oh don't forget to get creative with our first sketch challenge. You still have several weeks to get that LO done so no rush but you will want to get in on the chance to win November's monthly kit!

Happy Crafting!!

Embossed Tree - SSS75

All day long yesterday I thought it was Wednesday. I wonder how the rest of this week is going to go now. Don't you hate when that happens, you think it's a different day than it really is? For today's card I participated in The Sweet Shop's sketch challenge. I used to try and play along every week but it certainly has been a while.
I was so excited to be able to use a couple different products on this card. The super fabulous tree is from Practicing Creativity Designs, I white embossed it and colored in the image with my Stampin' UP! markers. The pattern paper is from Nikki Sivils called My Friend Birdie. The ribbon is from Stampin' UP! The sentiment is an Artfuldelight exclusive set. My first one that I am still in the works. I should have them up for sale in the next week or so. I will also have some projects to post with the set. The PCD and Nikki Sivils products are currently for sale at Artfuldelight. So this really sucked, I had planned to do a stitch line down the ribbon to secure it to the card, I used a little adhesive and some glue dots to keep it in place while I attached it and then ran it through my sewing machine. Yeah, bad idea!!! I think the glue dots kept jamming up my machine. I was getting so angry. LOL! So I quickly decided against putting a stitch line down along the ribbon.

Happy Crafting!!

CAS - Wee Memories Challenge #24

I would like to say that CAS cards are very tough for me and this one was no exception. LOL! I ALWAYS want to add more. Even though this card has very little on it, it took me while to make it. LOL! I am participating in Wee Memories Challenge #24 - CAS project or a project with tags or you can do both. Since I don't have any tags I chose a CAS card it also allowed me to think outside my usually comfort zone.

So I used some white glimmer paper I purchased from my LCS, I love this paper. I think they said it was from The Paper Co. Then I used some of my stamp sets from one of my favorite stamp companies, Practicing Creativity Designs. Courtney has done a fabulous job creating all of her sets. I can't say enough about them. I think I have all but one or two of her sets for sale at Artfuldelight! Ok so for the sentiment I used Chatterbox and the flowers is from her Barefoot Summer set. Both sets are amazing! I used a blender pen and PrismaColor Pencils to color in the flowers. And there ya have it. Have a great Sunday!

Happy Crafting!!

Another September Birthday! SSSC86

What a busy month for birthdays. I have come across several blogs with crafters that have a September birthday then I have several friends and family members with September birthdays. YIKES! I should say 9 months ago people were really getting busy. LOL! Anywho, this Sunday is my DT members Birthday. She doesn't have a blog or anything but I know she frequents my blog so let's all wish Jamie a Happy Birthday (September 26). She has been amazing this month with all her LO's she has made for me.

I made this card a couple days ago to send her for her birthday but I couldn't really post it because she had not received it yet. I hope she has received it because now I have it posted. LOL! I am participating in this week's Sweet Sunday Sketch Challenge and it closes tonight.

Here is the card I sent Jamie for her birthday. No stamping again! :-) I used items from Fancy Pants, It's Your Day collection. LOVE IT! It is available at Artfuldelight.com. The letters are Thickers, Hocus Pocus in white, also available at Artfuldelight.

Happy Crafting!!
