TGIF!
It's hard to believe another year has come and gone. A lot of good has happened and some less than great moments as well. Still, there isn't much for me to complain about so I shall call it a win. On the crafty card making front I made a lot of cards this year and had a great time doing it but it still feels like I didn't even create half of the ideas that I had. So many great stamps to choose from, so little time, LOL! Here's to another crafty and creative trip around the sun. :)
For my final card of 2016 I decided to ink up the Frosty Fairy Friends set from Lawn Fawn. It had been sitting on my desk during the entire Christmas card making season but it always got bumped for something else. As I was cleaning up and putting away all the Christmas goodies I couldn't bring myself to pack them up until after I got these sweet fairies on a card. As it often does, inspiration came from looking through my paper stash. I found the beautiful Winter Wonderland papers from Simple Stories and I knew it was a perfect fit. I just love the soft pretty colors of this collection and can't wait to use it again soon. Now I'm glad these fairies had to wait before finding their snowy home.
Now a big thank you to all of my blog followers... thanks for sticking with me for another crazy year of coloring and card making! I am so blessed to have a hobby that I love and so many amazing fellow crafters to share it with. Here's to a fantastic 2017!

Olo!
Well the birthday party was a success last night and good times were had by all. Now it's time to start getting ready for our New Year's Eve party... so much celebrating this time of year!
When it came time to make a card yesterday I figured this happy little guy from the Snow Boys set was well suited to this celebratory time of year. He's got some serious pep in his step and you can just tell there is no keeping him down. With that funny hat of his I couldn't resist giving his whole outfit a nice plaid design. Then he looked like he needed to be out in the great white yonder so using a few different dies I was able to create this great scene for him to live in as well. The entire card came together rather quickly and I gotta say, it's another one that makes me smile every time I look at it. :)
Take care and I shall see ya back here tomorrow for my last post of 2016!

Hello, hello!
Just a quick post today to share this card that I made months ago for a cousin's wedding. It was a country chic themed wedding so I thought this pretty white floral print on kraft was the perfect background for these sweet newly weds. The stamp is another fabulous image from Impronte d' Autore called Sposini. They have so many adorable wedding/couple stamps that it was hard to choose but in the end I couldn't resist these two holding hands.
Ok folks, gotta run... it's my brother's birthday and I gotta get ready for the party.
Laters! :)

Hey there!
I've got one last card from the Mini Remix Boys release to add here. The background was made using a big 'hey' mask and some Tim Holtz Distress inks as watercolors long before I got my hands on this great stamp set. When it came time to create some cards with them I knew that this background would be perfect. So I pulled the yellow and orange in his outfit from the watercolors and gave him a basketball to play with since it was orange too. It's a really CAS design but I think it works for a simple 'hello' type card. :)
Stay classy my friends!

Good morning!
I hope all of my crafty friends enjoyed a magical holiday weekend. I certainly did. Christmas day was beautiful with just enough snow on the ground, blue skies and sunshine. Plus spending time with my family is always a good thing.
I made this card for the Greeting Farm release back in November and just realized that I hadn't shared it here on the ol' blog yet. This little guy is from the Mini Remix Boys set and he kinda looks like a skater dude to me so I paired him up with the skateboard from the same set. I paired him up with the So Rad paper pack which included this great sentiment. All in all it makes for a nice, generic guy card which is always nice to have on hand in the card stash.
Later gators! :)

Happy Christmas Eve!
I'm here with a surprise weekend post because I recently got the idea for this card and didn't want to wait an entire year before getting to execute it. As I was looking at the digi stamps in the TGF store I got to thinking that with a bit of altering the Wild Sprout Grads could easily be made into a Christmas choir. So I masked off their caps and diplomas before printing then drew in the tops of their heads. Now I had a wonderful little choir ready to spread some serious Christmas cheer. Oh and they were printed in mini size so that I could easily fit all four on the card.
Well since I didn't get as much baking done yesterday as I had hoped I'm off to the kitchen to get busy. Merry Christmas to all my crafty friends who are celebrating! :)
