I'm back...

I've been away in la-la land and missed you my dear blogging friends so much! Work was super busy and we had a lot of things going on here, so I totally did not have time to craft and post :( Heck, I didn't even stop by any of my favorite crafty stores ... I began to have withdrawal pains and I think I'll just have to make time from now on :)
Hope you guys have been good and I see you've been really busy crafting. I'll make sure to drop by and check out your beautiful creations.
Here is a card I made last night...

I bought this digi at the Greeting Farm and paper pieced her outfit. I also used glaze for the rain, but it's kind of hard to see it on this picture. And then used 3D paint for the buttons on her raincoat :)

Thank you for stopping by today! Have an awesome weekend!!!!

Greeting farm challenge day 4

Hello and happy Wednesday! I love Wednesdays (because it's half way point and now there is only two more work days, yeah!!!!)

Today I have a card for the last day of the Greeting Farm Challenge. It was a lot of fun, but unfortunately the servers were not cooperating and the challenge had to be closed a day earlier. I do hope they will do something similar in the future though :)

Here is my card using prince Ian...

so yes, I know it's a prince and I was supposed to use him for something Royal...well I didn't...I thought it would be cool to color Ian as a knight and make a father's day card :)

If you guys have not yet picked up this free digi - you can get him for free by going HERE.

Hope you enjoy playing with this little Ian :)

Greeting farm challenge day 3

Today's card is for the Greeting Farm Challenge using this sweet little Toby cub - isn't he just the cutest??
I made a little boy into a little girl (for some reason I'm going for pink this week...hmm) and made it into a birthday card for a little girl's 1st birthday.
I used my new CB baby folder and cut "Birthday blessings" using cricut. For sparkle I used glittered ribbon and stickles for the sentiment and around the diaper band :) I didn't have 1st birthday charm, so I ended up using a little flower, but it's still cute and girly.
Hope you guys like her :)
Enjoy your day!!!!

Greeting farm challenge, day 2

Monday, Monday...please go away... :) rrrrrrrr, the weekends fly by way to fast and work week is here again :)
Today is the 2nd day of the Greeeting Farm Relay Challenge. And I was lucky to get this sweet little Charlotte for participating in yesterday's challenge.
So here is my card with sweet and sassy Charlotte...
I used glitter pen for her lips and then made her shirt pale shimmery pink. Also, her belt and shoes are "patent leather" :)
I raised the sentiment using dimensionals. It's sticker, but it seemed dull, so I added stickles for some sparkle :)
Thank you so much for stopping by today!

Greeting farm challenge

Happy Sunday!!!
Hope you guys are doing well and enjoying the weekend, getting some rest to face the new week tomorrow :)
Good day for me today, I got to stamp for few hours and work on my projects. Here is one of them...
I'm participating in The Greeting Farm relay challenge (for more info go HERE) - you get a free digi stamp to start off with and if you create something using this stamp by 6pm on Monday - you can win another free digi stamp. I love TGF stamps, so this is awesome!!!!
Here is what I came up with using Mer Ian...
Instead of DP I used an ad from my magazine, printed "Wish you were here" and added my sweet Mer Ian on dimentionals. Since the ad is glossy it was hard to take a picture without light reflecting on it. But here is the close up on Ian with all his sparkle :)
I also added gold glitter for his necklace. Goodness, he is soooo adorable, I'm sure I'll be using him a lot more in the future :)
Enjoy your Sunday!

Another Birthday card

Happy Wednesday!
Today I have another Birthday card. This time it's for my father-in-law, so I tried to stay away from sparkles, glitter and everything girly :) And for this card I used MojoMonday's sketch 122
I flipped it though and here is my card...

I used sweet little Edward from Greeting Farm and two different CB folders. Unfortunately the picture does not show my chalk coloring in light blue and light green on top of the textures card stock, but you can see it a little better on this picture

I also will use it for Simon Says Stamp challenge (for their punch it challenge).

I hope he'll like it. I sure enjoyed playing with it :)
See ya guys tomorrow!!!

My first Anya card...this year

Hello girlies! Hope you're having a good day.
It is super cold here and a lot of snow came down over night. I was so hoping that we'll get like super a lot of snow and our office will close, but that didn't happen... bummer. So I only got to stamp and craft after I got home from work.
Have you guys ever visited a Aly's Sunday Challenge blog? This sweet 11 year old stamper comes up with some cool sketches. And here is one of them:
I always have difficulty following sketches, so last year I decided to play with as many sketches as I can. And here is what I came up with:

Instead of just a circle, I used this dahlia flower by Spellbinders. And I embossed "Anniversary" with Ranger iridescent embossing powder. I made a bow with my ribbon, but I'm not too thrilled with this bow.... Oh yes, meant to layer my green card stock on top of that burgundy one only on two corners, so it was not a glitch :)

Here is the closeup on my Anya. I hope the Greeting Farm will not be upset with me for adding extra full lashes to my Anya :)

And here is the inside of my card. I received this poem by email from one of my friends and changed the last line to read "wife" instead of a "friend", as I'm going to use this card for my hubby

Thank you for stopping by! Hope you're staying safe and warm!

Congratulations to Becca!

Happy Saturday!

Hope you are all enjoying your weekend, I know I am. I did not have to work this weekend and that alone makes me happy :) I actually even slept in today (OMG, until like 7.15), but it feels so different when you know it's your day and you can do whatever you want to do. he-he-he

Dear hubby and I went grocery shopping today and of course I just had to stop by Jo-Ann's! They have a special on their paper 5 for 95 cents, so I just had to get some. The best part is that you can get double sided card stock and core-dination card stock too (those are awesome).

I can't wait to play with my new paper tomorrow. I really need to work on my Halloween cards (since I've been slacking).

Today I have a sweet and simple card that I made specially for my friend Rebecca. She just announced that she and her hubby are expecting a baby!!! Becca, congrats!! She totally loves brown and pink combo, so I knew I had to use it. I will make more cards for her and her hubby in the future, but this one is for her only :)

Here it is:

I used several different shades of darker pink and sweet Anya stamp from the Greeting Farm. "Congratulations" is actually a clear sticker and the ribbon came from the set (the ones you buy for $1 at Target).

Happy crafting and enjoy your weekend!
