Happy Wednesday everyone! I am having a great day. Went to Weight Watchers today & I lost another 3.6 lbs. with a total loss of 20lbs.!!! I am about 1/3 of the way to my goal. It's been an uphill battle but I am seeing some results. Just had to share! I also got to spend time with an old friend from school. He has pancreatic cancer but felt well enough to go out to lunch. Seeing some one go through a battle for their life is eye opening. Makes you realize what's important in life. I was glad to see him feeling a little better.
Today's card was made with one of the very first stamps I ever got. It is by Stampendous. I stamped it on red paper & cut it out. I created the second flower by doing the same thing but cutting off some of the petals so it was more of a bud. Did the same thing with the leaves. I liked using the colored card stock instead of coloring it all by hand. I used the Top note die from Sissix and then ran it through with an embossing folder to give it some texture. 3 red gemstones & some red grosgrain ribbon to finish it off.
Thanks for stopping & happy crafting!

Monday, Monday..... Today's card is all about cherries! I used Cherry Tilda, cherry paper, and a cherry stamp from Hero Arts. I added the hello inside the message area. I like this stamp because you can stamp whatever sentiment you need in it. I colored Tilda with my Copics then carefully cut her out. She is pop dotted up for dimension. The white rickrack is actually a sticker! I added glossy accents to all the cherries to make them stand out more. You can't see it in the picture but Tilda's dress & hair ties have a touch of glitter from my Spica pen. I finished it off with 2 red gems and a cherry charm that I got awhile back at Target. It was in the dollar spot. This card makes me want to go buy a Dolly Madison cherry pie. I used to get those in my school lunches as a kid. Haven't had one in quite awhile...maybe I will treat myself today. Have a great day yourself! See ya soon.

Happy Saturday! Well, my daughter is all moved in and settled at college. I didn't think I would be quite so emotional but I keep crying! Yesterday I went down and saw her since she didn't want me to help her move in. Her room is so small. Definitely cozy but she LOVES it! It's just hard as a mom to have to "let go" but I know she is on to the next season in her life and so am I.
Looking forward to seeing her accomplish her dreams. Well, enough of that. Today's card is Tilda floating on her inner tube trying to soak up that last bit of summer sun since fall seems to be rapidly approaching. The paper I used is by K & company. and the little fishy brads are from Michael's. I just love my little "maggie" stamps. One is cuter than the next! I hope after cleaning today I can get downstairs & craft.l I need "my therapy" ya know? LOL. See you soon my friends! Have a great day!

No card today. Sorry! My baby leaves for college today. I'm happy for her but sad for me. It will be a different season in both of our lives. She won't be far so I hope she will come home often & visit. I will miss her hugs! So, it is a bittersweet day & I didn't feel like creating anything. I hope you understand and I will have something for you soon. Promise! Take care!

Monday, Monday.... Where does the time go? It's flying by!! The wedding was awesome. Everyone had such a good time! Everything turned out perfect. They had a photo booth at the reception. What fun! You could go in as much as you wanted and it took your picture 4 times and the machine printed them out right there..Well, anyway, I only had time to make 1 card this weekend. I used this cat stamp from Wild Rose Studio. They can be purchased at All that scraps. Again, I am not a photographer as you can see. It is sunny out but still kinda dark in here. I colored her with my Copics and added some glitter to the flowers. The center of the flowers was accented with a yellow glaze pen for dimension. I used a few dewdrops and finished it off with some grosgrain ribbon. I love the woodgrain paper...reminded me of the tree she is hanging in.I thought this would make a great encouragement card. I'm going to stamp Hang in there on the inside. Thanks for stopping today & have a wonderful,wonderful afternoon!

Happy Saturday! I am disappointed in how the photos came out because this card is so much prettier in person. It is very sparkly! I have added australian crystals on the border but you can't see those too well here. We have a very special wedding to go to today. It is my son's best friend who he has known for many, many years. He even calls me his "second" mom. I am so happy he has found someone who completes him! I'm sure it will be a beautiful ceremony and i might even squeeze out a tear. I don't know why but I tend to cry at weddings during the processional. I can't wait to see my son in his tux. He spent the night away from home so I won't see him until we get there. Well, you didn't come here to be told all that so on to the card! This mouse couple is my absolute favorite wedding stamp. I am into "cutesy" and they definitely are! I added stickles to her flowers and used my clear Spica glitter pen for her veil. I colored them with my Copics and the border was made with a Borderabilities die cut from Spellbinders. I love how they emboss & cut out. The hearts on the side were from a Nestibilities pendant set. All the paper is Bazzill. Finished it off with a sparkly piece of ribbon.I really wish you could see it in person. I love how it turned out. Have a great day and I will see you soon!

Sorry I haven't had a new post lately. It's been a crazy week. Finishing up shopping for college and was down for a bit with the flu. I hope to be able to create something tomorrow and will post as soon as I can. I am itching to get down to my craft area but am too tired to try tonight. Take care & I will see you soon.
