A Little ‘Splainin’ To Do!


"Lucy...you got some ‘splainin’ to do!”  (I Love Lucy)

How would you like a little giveaway?  

Here’s my ‘splainin’.  I’ve been feeling especially bad because, for the past 6 weeks I’ve been very disengaged from you lovely readers.  Man, it’s been all I can do to get any cards made for my deadlines and I’ve not had any spare minutes to appreciate your comments and come and visit you on your blogs :( .  I’ve been working full time in a new role at our Church and will continue for the next several months filling in for a co-workers Sabbatical.  Doing that and juggling a family has left little space for anything extra....so I apologize for my lack of connection.  

I do appreciate you (so much) sweet readers and just wanted to you know that...so today I’m having a little giveaway of this brand new edition of CardMaker Magazine’s Summer 2015 Issue.  I have a card in there on page 70 as you can see in the second picture.  



It’s with some very fun The Cat’s Pajamas Products and it was really fun to make.  As you can see in the pictures it’s a slider card for the graduate.  


So, all you need to do to enter is leave me a comment and I’ll send you a copy of the magazine....AND the original card as well.  Tell me what’s making you smile these days :) 


Big hugs friends!  Thanks for your patience with me.  I’ll draw a name on Monday and let you know who won.

Christmas Candy

With Christmas almost here, and all my presents wrapped under the tree, I’m in a gift giving mood…how about a stamp set giveaway for you?  Read all the way to the bottom of the post :)


I was in the mood for a fun boy birthday card design, so I pulled out Flourishes new Lots of Thoughts set that I love so much and stamped the little cupcake three times onto Flourishes Classic White card stock - thinking of my little nephew who will turn three in the new year.  I have some cute Echo Park paper in my stash that I bought this summer - All About a Boy.  It has awesome fun patterns and colors to play with.  I coloured up the cupcakes to match the paper with copics, I just love the polka-dots in the design of the cupcakes liners :)


Because of the cool design in the lighter blue paper I took out my Flourishes Perfectly Pierced Classic Windows die and cut out a shape for behind the cupcakes to accent the design, then finished it off with some cute open circles with enamel dots inside and some cute twine.  


Here’s the inside of the card, sentiment inked with Memento Tangelo ink.  


And now how about the Blog Candy?!  I’m giving away this great set Lots of Thoughts !  

Here’s how to enter:

Leave me a comment on this post, just one per person.  Tell me some favourite Christmas memory you have or some memory you’re wanting to make this year!

If you leave your email address it helps me contact you if you win. 

I’ll draw a name December 30th and post it on the blog then, just in time for New Year’s!

Blog Candy Winner!

Hello again friends!  I wanted to post the winner of my Birthday Blog Candy from earlier this week….

random.org picked #15, who is Barbara!  Congratulations!


 Barbara said...
Well lets just put it this way...I've celebrated many decades of birthdays and have had lots of time to ponder life. I think the thing I take away is to remember what is truly important in your life, for me that's my family and friends, everything else is icing on the proverbial cake as they say. So I would say stay focused on what ever it is that grounds you. Sending you wishes for a very Happy Birthday! (PS...I'm a huge fan of your wonderful talent for card making and want to thank you for sharing your gift of creativity with us.
October 29, 2013 at 9:28 AM



Barbara contact me in the next week (see my profile info in the top right corner) and I’ll ask you what Flourishes set you’d like to have and also get this pretty paper pack out to you!


Thanks everyone for tell me so many neat things that you’ve learned since you’re last birthday - good or difficult it is part of that learning process we’re on and hopefully continues to make us into richer, deeper more loving people!

Sending Happy Thoughts...and Candy!


On Friday I showed off a colouring tutorial I had done with this lovely new Flip Promotion set, Sending Happy Thoughts from Flourishes, and now I've finished the card to show you :)  I think these hydrangea blooms are beautifully illustrated by Sam Pickard.   FLIP is such a great program at Flourishes for discounts all year long!  You'll definitely want to check it out.  

I've stamped on Flourishes Classic White, stamped with Memento Tuxedo Black, and trimmed the pieces out.  Then I layered them and popped them up on our Perfectly Pierced Victorian Oval, layering that onto some Color Made Easy Pistachio Cardstock cut with a Spellbinders Labels Twenty, where I had stamped another of the sentiments in the set in Bamboo Leaves Memento Ink.  That's a really great thing about polymer,  I wanted the sentiment to curve to match the die and it bends so easily, and sticks so well to my acrylic block.  


The sentiment is inked in Memento Danube Blue, this blue is quite vivid and I wanted it to match the purpley blues of the hydrangeas - so I lightly added some B60 overtop of the sentiment to get the right tone.  I've added some rhinestones, seam-binding and some lovely lace as well as a Spellbinders embossing folder in the background.  It's such a lovely set!  

Now how about some Candy???

I have 4 Flourishes sets from the last few months to give away to four winners!  How's that sound?






Anemones - sorry I know this graphic isn't the best, but the set is perfect :)




Just leave me a comment here, with an email I can contact you, and I'll draw 4 winners posting Monday next week :)

CardMaker Giveaway with The Cat's Pajamas

As a person who loves colouring, I am naturally drawn to images that are either realistic and botanical, or images that are cute and whimsical.  One of my favourite places for those fun styles with whimsy is The Cat's Pajamas; I had the pleasure of guesting with them last year, which was so fun.  Today I'm excited to show TCP off a little to you! 

The Cat's Pajamas

AND....it's an extra-fun day today!  It's my turn at the CardMaker Magazine Blog to give something away!  The Cat's Pajamas has generously donated a $25 gift certificate to the winner.  All you have to do is comment here to win, please leave your email address so I can contact you if your name is chosen. 

And here's a little TCP inspiration I made for you today that shows off just how cute these stamps are.  


I have a very particular affection for this character....Mr. Bun Bun :)  Those ears just get me every time!    This set is called Away We Go.  How can you resist those big bunny ears in a hot air balloon?  I coloured him up with Copics to match this very fun MME paper  - Come Away With Me.  It's the perfect match with the travelling theme...and hot air balloons in the background. 



The sentiment flag is also a part of one of the pages of DP, and I accented with some sewing and fun little buttons and twine.  

So, leave a comment here, and I'll draw a name June 28th by 11 pm MTN Time, and you can claim your TCP Prize!
