Sweeter than Hunny

Hey there, Dear Internet Readers!

I know I haven't posted in a while but I still am occasionally crafting.  I have so many cards and crafts to share.  I just need to sit and post them all!   One day...one day...

Anyway, I wanted to share the tag I made from the this Bridal Shower Favor I made a long time ago. 

It's one of my more popular pins besides the Minions boxes.  

Someone asked if I could sell the tags - and that would be awesome if I could, but the image does not belong to me and I do not steal.  

I can - however - give them to you.  So I made a generic tag - if you would like to use it, you can add it to a Word document or Photoshop or whatever you feel comfortable using.  It is a .jpeg so you can resize it however you want.  My circles were about 2 inches big and I used a 2 1/4 circle punch to pop them out - easy peasy.  

Please don't steal it and sell it.  Use it, share it, but please do not claim it as your own.  I would be happy to make other designs if you would like - and I will get to them when I can.  You can leave a comment/request on one of the blog posts.  I will eventually be sharing the Lilo and Stitch tags and the Minion tags.  I would love to personalize it for you one day - and maybe one day I will go into business for myself - but that day is not today.  :-)

So please enjoy the tag!  Pin it and share it!

Thank you for visiting my blog!

Kind of Woman Word Art

Two years ago, I created this card:

I have seen this quote so many times.  I have no idea who's quote it is.

I created my own digi for it.  I never added it to the blog post.  

So I just wanted to add it here:

If you use any of my digis, leave me a comment with link to your project!

I would love to see it!

Thanks for coming by!

Seeing Spots...Eating Cake

Hello Wonderful Crafters!  

It is so awesome of you to stop by.  It's a busy time of year for so many of you out there.  End of year activities, graduations, etc... In Florida, our school year ends around this time.

So hopefully, you've been able to sneak in some crafting here and there.  

Since school is out for me, I am able to sit at my desk and get my mojo going.

 I'm using Magali.  She is stamped onto watercolor paper and colored with Twinklin' H2Os.  I then had her cut out with the Silhouette.  Pretty awesome.

Grateful Puppy Love

Ok - so I was early making my card for the Wags 'n Whiskers challenge but I am super late with my post.  So so so sorry!

The challenge is for Banners or Bunting.

**Please read all of the rules at the top of the blog**

One lucky participant will win a free Wags 'n Whiskers Rubber stamp!

You don't have to use a Wags 'n Whiskers image on your card, but if you do, you will be entered into a 2nd drawing for a free Wags 'n Whiskers Digi.

This is actually a first for me.  I've never done a banner before.  I love checking out Lacey's cards because she uses banners quite a bit...but I have never done one.  It wasn't a hard.  It was actually super easy.  That's why I like these and other challenges.  It forces me out of my comfort zone.  My style is usually easy peasy/CASish.  So doing something new is great.

Onto my card:

The precious stamp is called Puppy Love.  I like that you can use this image for a friend or for love...it works for so many occasions.  Go!  Buy it!  You need it! :-)

This is stamped on watercolor paper and colored with Twinklin' H2Os.

Other Card Details:

Base - SU Daffodil Delight

DP - SU Gingham Garden

Twine - Divine Twine Yellow Solid

Buttons - My Stash

I made the banner using my Silhouette.  Simple Triangles were cut out and glued to the twine.

The sentiment I made and cut it out with a circle punch.

You can download it here.
If you use any of my digis, leave me a comment with link to your project!
I would love to see it!

40 Years a Child?

Hello my dears out there in the digital world!  Happy New Year!  I hope 2014 was good to you - and if not I pray that 2015 is so much better.  May it be blessed and filled with love and happiness!

I have not posted in a while.  To be honest, I had lost my creative mojo.  I just didn't really have it in me to do anything creatively.  I tried.  I sat down at my desk and tried to look at blogs and see if it gave me some inspiration.  Nothing.

So I read.  Lots. of. books.  Seriously.  Lots.  There is an app called Overdrive.  I was able to download ebooks from my local library.  Which I did.  A lot.  It was awesome getting into some good mindless stories, some mysteries and even some historical fiction.  Some of them even made me tear up.  I did miss crafting though.  

I figured it was the New Year and I AM supposed to be part of the Wags 'n Whiskers Design Team.  I mean, mojo IS required for that.  So I found some.  

And speaking of DT - how about a challenge!  The new one on the Wags 'n Whiskers blog is:

Anything Goes!

Make sure you read the challenge rules that are posted at the

top of the Wags 'n Whiskers blog.  

One lucky participant will win a free Wags ‘nWhiskers Rubber Stamp!

You don’t have to use a Wags ‘n Whiskers image on your card, but if you do, you will be entered into a 2^nd drawing for a free Wags ‘n Whiskers Digi!

Here is my card:

 I am using the stamp Bubble Fun.  She looks like she is having fun.  She is on watercolor paper and colored with Twinkling H2Os.  

 Other card details:

Solid Papers used: SU Pacific Point; SU Daffodil Delight

DP: K & Company

Ribbon: Stash
Butterfly: I made it using Mod Podge Mod Melts.  I then painted it with blue acrylic and added some red glitter.  Simple little embellishment.
The blue bubble embellishment is something new I found at AC Moore.  They are from Queen & Co.   They had all kinds of colors.   You can use them as bubbles or water drops.  I like the way it looks. 

The sentiment is perfect and true.  It is from the lovely Ginger from Ginger's House.  

Great word art.  Definitely check her out. 

Thanks for looking!
