Spring/CR84FN 17

Hello my sweet friends.  Are you having a wonderful weekend so far?   It was 67 and sunny today.  Not a cloud in the sky.  I am so ready for spring.  I sat out on the deck in the sunshine for a couple hours today.  I think my face is a little red tonight.  I have to admit, that after long winters in Iowa that this mild winter in Alabama was quite nice.  I found a set of table, chairs and a swing that I am ordering tonight.  I love to sit on the swing and drink my coffee.  It is also wonderful for afternoon naps.  We found a new grill at Lowes tonight also.  When we moved we sold all our patio furniture and grill.  There was no way that everything was going to fit in the moving truck when we moved.  We lived there for 8 years and had accumulate so much stuff.  Besides, we had a basement and you don't find those often in the south.

So, after I chatted your ear off...I will share my card for this weeks colors at CR84FN.  I used another one of my new sets from Flourishes called Seasonal Wreaths.

 I am so sad that this is Stella's last week as Guest Designer.  So do you know what that means?  It is time to choose another for the month of March.  Make sure you play along.  We love to see what you create.

Hello my wonderful blog friends.  I am finally back to share with you a card I made.  I saw the sketch at Mojo Monday and had to play along.  I think they have some of the best sketches.

 I used my new paper from KandCompany called Sweet Nectar.  Oh, what pretty spring colors this pack has.  I have had it sitting around for weeks now.  Same goes with that cute flower from Recollections.  I got them both at Michaels.  I used the Eyelet Circles die from Spellbinders, PTI cardstock in Rustic White and Kraft.

 I had to use some pretty Want2Scrap Pink Pearl Bling that comes in a 72 count pack.  This pack has 3 different sizes...which I totally love!!  I just posted this card at the Want 2 Scrap blog as well.  I am asking for any suggestions for a tutorial.  I am open to any suggestions.  What would you like to see?

Thanks so much for stopping by,

Happy Foreverness/ CR84FN 16

I am sorry I have been so absent this last week.  I really just didn't feel like crafting at all.  Have you ever felt like that before?  I guess I had lost my mojo.

I am finally back tonight to share with you the new color challenge at CR84FN.

 I have not made a wedding card in a very long time.  I didn't make this for anyone particular.  It is just nice to have one on hand just in case.

 I wanted to make a flower for the center, but can't find any of my felt or tissue paper.  I guess it is still hiding in a box in the garage.  As soon as it warms up and my hubby and I are both off together, then we can get in there and finish going through all the boxes from the move.

 Look at this soft, beautiful color graphic to get you inspired to create. 

Don't forget to stop by the other girls blog and see what they have for you.

Sew Lovely/CR84FN 15

I am so happy when a card turns out great and fast.  This one came together pretty quick for me...compared to what it normally takes.  Sometimes it takes me hours, and most of that time is spent deciding on what stamps to use and what paper.  The rest is the easy part.

It is time for another color challenge at CR84FN.  We have a wonderful color combo for you to try.  Wait, every week is a great color combo.  hehe

I won this cute set called Sew Lovely by Lawn Fawn from the sweet Kim Duran at Paper Loves Glue.  Stop by and check out her fabulous blog.  I also used some paper from the PTI stack called Everyday Blessings that my sweet blog friend Stephanie Muzzlin sent me, along with some other goodies.  Man, I have some wonderful blog friends.  Love ya both and thank you so much.

I know it is hard to tell in the picture, but the top paper from PTI, the colors are Aqua Mist and Spring Moss.  It is actually Exact to the colors in the inspiration photo IRL.  One of my light tent bulbs went out/broke and I replaced it with something I got at Lowe's and it just doesn't give off the same color.  I need to break down and just order a few. 

I used my Beaded Ovals from SB for the first time.  I inked the outer beads in Tim Holtz distress ink Tumbled Glass and the inside in Fine Linen and Vintage Photo.  I love how it gives the image a pretty glow.

Make sure you stop by to see what the other girls have for you.
