Whatcha bean up to?

Good morning friends!  Are you shocked that I'm here today?  Me too but I want to share a fun card I made with an Imagine That Digistamp image and papers.  It is a set that is named after me, Lorie's Peppermint Mocha, and I totally LOVE it so I hope you'll check it out HERE (this set, which includes the digi papers, lots of sentiments, and several main images is on sale so check it out!)!

For this card I used the pre-colored image and sentiment from the set and a sketch from Paper Play Sketches.  I used my Brother Scan N Cut to cut the image out (love that machine...I got it for my birthday last month!) then I added a little coffee shaped paperclip up in the corner and some pearls to the card.  This one is going to my grandma...just a hello type of card.

So, just a sweet and short post for ya today but I'm happy to have made it over here!  Have a lovely weekend all!

Foxy Thang

Good morning friends!  Now that Labor Day is over I hope to get back into my normal schedule of posting at least three or four times a week...starting today!  Today I'm sharing a fun new digital set with you from Imagine That Digistamps called Foxy Thang.  Here is a preview of the set:

Super fun images and sentiments, huh?  How about I share the card I made with the girl fox image?

I seriously love the facial expression of the image...so cute!  I just wanted a birthday card so I added a birthday sentiment from the Flower Basket set to the bottom of the main image panel.  The card layout is from SVG Cutting files. 

I used this card as the finished card in my fair decoration:

Well, there you have it...I hope you have a fantastic day and I'll be back soon!

Hippie Birthday!

Good morning!  I'm back from a trip away with my hubby for our 15th wedding anniversary and finally back into the normal routine of things...yay! Today I thought I'd share a card I made with a new Imagine That Digistamp called HippieAud.  My goodness this image and the sentiments are so fun! 

I used the hippiest paper that I could find (bright colors and a large print on the top layering piece) and colored her the best I could to coordinate.  I gotta tell you...I think she is cute and I love this card!  For the piece signs I just cropped the image, flipped the hand and then printed them, colored them and tahdah!

Now remember...we have a blog challenge and a Facebook challenge going on (they are completely different challenges) so make sure you check them both out!

you're smokin'

Happy Saturday! Just stopping in here real quick with (what I think is) a super cute card with an image from Imagine That digistamps.

I was looking at the newest tutorial on Splitcoaststamps which is how to create a selfie image and thought maybe I could make it work for a digital stamp andddd...I think I did!  I've used the Stitched Square and Stitched Rectangle dies from Jaded Blossom to make my Polaroid photo-ish image panel.  The images and sentiment itself are from the Summer BBQ Kit.  I had the papers in my stash and the black/white twine is from Trendy Twine.  A run through the big shot in a heart embossing folder and a couple of black pearls and this is ready to give to my hubby during our anniversary week!  I'm going to add this to the little red wagon challenge which is summertime. And this layout is inspired by the current Paper Pal Arts sketch PPA308 so I'll link up to that too!

Now, I hope you come back on Monday to check out my post because it is a good one!  Have a fabulous weekend all!

Twinkle Twinkle Little Star Do You Know How Loved You Are?

Hello!  Today I'm back to share with you a card that I made for one of my husband's co-workers.  He and his wife just had their first baby...a boy named Gabriel.  Of course I had to make a card so here you go...

I thought I'd start off by show you the back of my shaker circle.  I've used acetate and then just cut pieces of foam tape (from my HUGE roll) then I attached the pre-colored image from Imagine That Digistamp.

Here is the finished outside of the card.  I've used the pre-colored image from Sweet Dreams Sheep Set and Counting Sheep Digi Papers.  I've added twine, a star die cut, and of course the fun sequins to pump up the adorable factor!  The circle and star dies are from Jaded Blossom.

Inside I've spelled the baby's name out with the Baby Blocks set and used a sentiment from the Sweet Dreams Sheep set referenced above.  I just brought the images into Word and then sized them and moved them around to accomplish having them together.

Okay, I hope you love this card as much as I do and that you'll hope on over to the Imagine That Digistamps store and blog to check out more!  Please note that I'm a member of the Imagine That Digistamps Facebook DT and I show the Facebook group my creations first so please come on over and join us there!

Thanks for stopping by...I'll see you soon!

We have a graduate this year!

Hey look...it's Friday and I'm back to share another card with you today...woohoo!  As you know I'm in the thick of things as far as getting crafty goodness ready for high school graduation at our house.  One of those things is, of course, making the graduate a card.  I've already made a couple but I knew they weren't for my son but this card...this one may be the one.  Check it out!

Crazy cute, right?  I've used the following Imagine That! by Kris sets: Graduation Day Value Set 1 and Congrats Grad 2 Digi Papers.  I've also used the sketch from Monday's Mojo Monday Sketch which is a tall and skinny challenge (I love tall and skinny cards!).  This one is 3 1/2" x 6".  Of course you see the twine that I added which is from Trendy Twine and some fun graduation dimensional stickers that my mom picked up for me.  I think I'll also add this to the challenge at A Bit More Time To Craft - Anything Goes, the Make My Monday Challenge - Graduation, and  Crafting When I Can - Add Stars.

And that is what I have to share with you this Friday!  I'm furiously working on decorations both for the graduation party on the 10th and my grandson's birthday party on the 9th so you'll see more non-card projects soon!

Have a wonderful weekend all!

I'm praying for you...

Good Thursday morning all!  I hope you've been having a lovely week!  I'm out of town until Saturday but I wanted to share this with you today so I scheduled this post for you!  Yay! 

I recently applied for a position with the Imagine That! Digis by Kris Facebook team and was accepted...yay!  I've loved Kris's images for a long time (and used to be a part of her team a long time ago too!) and was eager to get back to playing with them.  I've used a pre-colored image here which is something I don't do very often but it was kinda fun!  The image, papers and sentiment are all from the Leesa's Sour Lemons kit.  The sentiments in this kit are wonderful so I hope you'll go check them out!  This time I didn't actually make this into a foldable card but more of a post card type of thing so the receiver will just flip it over to read the note.  It is fun and different that way, I think.

Well, I hope you have a wonderful day and rest of your week!  See you later!

Easter Leesa

Easter cuteness abounds everywhere in my little town including in my craft room where I've created another fun card this time using Easter Leesa from Imagine That digis by Kris.  Isn't she just adorable in her Easter outfit?  I remember getting a new Easter dress each year...it made me feel so special!

I hope you have plans with family and friends this Easter!  My hubby works but we will have Easter dinner when he gets home and I'm really looking forward to it!

Remember...it's not about the bunny.

I'm Back!

I bet you all thought I abandoned my blog, huh? Well, not really. Life just gets in the way sometimes.

I love that I've had the occasion to do some creating recently. Today I'm going to share the card I made for my hubby for the 4th of July. I don't normally make him a 4th of July card but I was struck at how different the 4th 'looks' to me know and wanted to tell him why and how much I appreciate him.

This card is 100% digital...no hand stamping and it is all from my friend, Kris's store at Imagine That! www.imaginethatdigistamp.com Lots and lots of fun stuff there!

I'm also posting this from my phone for the first time so if it looks bad please forgive me...I'll figure it out soon!

That said...I'll leave you with that for today. Make your Monday a fantastic one!
