"Happy Birthday" Handmade Cards

Yea!!! It's Wednesday! We are half way through the week! Today I'd like to share 2 new cards with you.
Since I used to make cards on a daily basis, I am really trying to use up my stash. So I have not shopped for any new supplies. 
 I have lots and lots of cardmaking supplies, especially since I used to Scrapbook so much. I guess sometimes it's good to be a hoarder!!! Craft hoarder, that is! 

Here are a couple of colorful Happy Birthday cards:

Valentine's Day Treat!!

Happy Hump Day! When I saw this image over at Whimsiedoodles, I knew just what I was going to do with it!
You have to excuse the bad photo...I had to take it with my cellphone. The sentiment says.."My Heart Pops for You". I wrapped up some microwave popcorn, added a lacy doilie, and the image!
Simple and sweet! Well..really salty..but you get it!

Valentine Treats!

Happy Friday to you!! Today I'd like to share some Valentine Treats that made last year and they were a hit, so...I'm making them again this year!!!

All of these images are by Whimsiedoodles. I purchased these last year and checked the shop and they are STILL available!  

Here is a close-up view:

I also made these "Hogs and Kisses"..using Hershey Kisses.

and a close-up:

These were super easy. Fill cello bags with kisses and tie on a tag with some cute ribbon!

Thank you for visiting today! Have a wonderful Friday!

Relax!!

Relax! It's easier said than done these days. Well, atleast for me! My last card was made because my week was going pretty rough...so I felt "Put on your big girl pants" was appropriate. Today, I'm taking a different approach:

Would a cookie help?

Yesterday, I went on a "card making" frenzy. My supply of cards was getting low and I realized it was time to replenish.
So, I grabbed some card blanks and some papers, mostly scraps and got busy. These days I'm trying to use up my scraps and make several cards from the same papers to save time and money.
Here are some cards I made using the new releases from Whimsiedoodles:

Card details: Digi Image and Sentiment-Whimsiedoodles, Patterned Paper scraps-Cosmo Cricket, Cardstock-Bazzill, Circles-Nestiblities, Brads-The Paper Studio, Misc-White Gel Pen, Stickles-Ranger

Same image: different size and colors:

The picture makes it hard to see the details of the card, but it actually has a scalloped edge. These are by Studio G at WalMart.

Thanks for visiting today. Have a wonderful Wednesday!

Yep, Life Sucks Sometimes!

Hey..I'm just being honest! My day pretty much sucked, until now atleast! I got up bright and early with hopes of getting alot done. I've had a "to do" list longer than the Colorado River!  I did get some laundry done, tackled some clutter, and showered...all by 8:30am. THEN.....my head started to hurt, my tummy started to churn, and I was cold and had chills. My bones started hurting and I knew it was time to lay back down. So much for the "to do" list. :(

After a nap, a longgg nap, I got up...washed up again, and have forced myself to stay afloat! Hoping for a much better evening!

So...I felt it was only appropriate to make this card for a challenge over at Whimsie Doodles. The challenge is NO COLOURING allowed! Is colouring really spelled that way??...I prefer coloring. Oh well...I followed the rules and came up with this:

Busy, Busy Weekend!

I had a really busy weekend, but it was a great one! The weather was perfect for being outside!
On Saturday I spent my afternoon working on cards...all kinds,  Easter, challenge cards, new release cards, etc!
And today is deadline day...not for the challenges but for Taxes! Ohhh, the dreaded taxes! To get my mind of the gloom of today, I will treat you with some cute cards! That should cheer us all up! :)

On Friday I had to work at the shop. It's a country crafts shop so we have lots of eye candy to look at. I saw a sign that a customer bought and it said, "A Good Friend is All Ears." Well, upon seeing that I immediately thought of this image by Sassy Cheryl's! I couldn't wait to get home and create my card!!!

Funny how 'crafters' minds' never turn off! Our wheels are always spinning with new ideas! LOL

You are SO Sweet!

Good Tuesday morning to you! We got a cool front last night, so this morning was nice and chilly! 50 degrees and NO humidity! :) Today's high is in the 80's so we have a beautiful day in store for us here in South Texas!!!

I read this on Facebook this morning and posted it as my "status"...because it's SO true!

Good old Texas...where the tea is sweet and accents are sweeter, summer starts in April, front porches are wide and words are long, macaroni & cheese is a vegetable, BBQ is the state food, y'all is a proper pronoun, chicken is fried, biscuits come with gravy, everyone is honey, someone is always getting their heart blessed, and we are all "fixin" to do something. Repost if you are PROUD TO BE FROM TEXAS! :)


**Only  a Texan would understand this! LOL


Okay, now down to business...here is my card for today:

Card Details: Digi Image-Whimsiedoodles, Cardstock-Bazill, Patterned Papers-The Paper Studio and My Mind's Eye, Border Punch-Fiskars, Coloring-Copics, Stickles-"Cotton Candy" by Ranger-Course Crystal Glitter-Martha Stewart, Misc. Ribbon, Pink Floss, and handmade Tulle "Poof". :)

I love our food, music, and culture!

Good Friday morning!!! I hope you are having a wonderful day! Here in South Texas it's sunny and warm...today's high is in the upper 90's! Yikes! And it's only April! Oh well.......

I wanted to share with you a  Baby Boy gift I have been working on:

When I saw these images over at Whimsie Doodles, I just knew they would go perfectly with this fabric, toy and gift set! I had a difficult time deciding on which to use..the zebra or the giraffe?! I opted for the giraffe because of the Garanimals toy I was using.

I'm using this image and project in the

                         Box Office Whimsie Doodles Wednesday Challenge
These images remind me of the cute characters in the movie Madagascar!


My gift basket contains  a cute stuffed giraffe toy, a baby size bath towel, a washcloth, a matching onsie, and a bottle of  baby bath wash and baby shampoo!

Project Details: Stuffed Toy-Garanimals, Johnson & Johnson's Baby Bath and Shampoo, Onsie, bath towel and wash cloth all embellished with matching fabrics.

Thanks for visiting today! Have a blessed Friday and a great weekend!!!
