Raspberry Suite Color Challenge #7

Edited: Please click on the photo to see it larger because for some reason blogger is publishing everything all washed out, but when you click to view the photo larger, the colors are more true to life. Anyone else having this problem? Here is another version of the picture. It is better, but still washed out. What’s up blogger? Scroll down for more photos! 🙂 I am in love with this color challenge. Could these…

i’m a mess

This title is figurative and literal. Exhibit A: My husband took this picture. If you could only see the rest of the room. It is not a pretty sight! I am a figurative mess because I can’t seem to find a good way to manage my time between my new job and my crafting. Where does the time go? My days are disappearing! I also went back to my normal dose of heart medicine (they…

my brother lives in a bird house and loves desserts

Here is part two of my brother’s bird house series :). jaja! 🙂 I decided to use My Cute Stamps for his card because he loves desserts and Japanese art. The paper is Me and My Big Ideas. I am liking using patterned paper. Especially since I have so much!
I faux stitched again. So fun! I am loving that look. I also added some glitter to the winking candy’s eye with a copic spica…

my brother lives in a bird house

I decided to get my brother a gift certificate for his birthday this year, so I knew I had to package it in a cool way. I had recently seen this post on Nichole Heady’s blog which inspired me. See, my brother’s house has an uncanny resemblance to her bird house! I always joke that it is the Swiss Family Robinson tree house. It really is the coolest house though, and my brother loves living…

eat cake!

I finally got some time in my craft room this morning and a little bit this weekend. I can’t wait to upload the pics and show you guys. I made the prettiest card for my parents’ 30th wedding anniversary. I can’t wait for them to get it! June is coming up which means … buh buh buuuuuh …. making guy cards. That’s right it’s Father’s Day (and in my family everyone’s birthday too). Guy cards…

yada yada yada

I have started making 4-bar sized cards. It is fun to have a smaller “canvas” to work with! Here is a one layer card that I made. I love this frame! It is from a Basic Grey stamp set. Gorgeous! The “yada yada yada” is from Kitchen Sink Stamps. I love pairing that phrase with an ornate frame. I decided to post this card because I was watching Mythbusters, and they were doing an episode…

wordle

Wordle is super fun! You can enter your blog and it creates a word collage based one which words you use most often! Here are some that I made. Go try it out. It’s super fun! Let me know if you try it out! 🙂

I used my blog colors for the last one :)! Thank you so much for visiting! Have an amazing day, kelly marie

cutie pie owl says thanks!

I have been so busy! Life is slightly crazy right now, so I am still posting photos from cards I made a few weeks ago. I really hope to be back card making next week and hopefully doing a video! I still can’t believe I missed entering Kristina’s color challenge. It is the first one I have missed since I started. Boo to all my time being filled with work and doctor’s visits! Here is…

I ♥ Mike!

It’s our 2 year wedding anniversary today! I can’t believe how fast time has flown, or believe that we have been together for almost 10 years! I am so lucky to have married my soul mate and love of my life! He is seriously the most wonderful man alive :). As you can tell, I love him so! I thought I would post some wedding pictures here on the blog as we spend the day…

100th post!

This is my 100th post! Woah!! How crazy is that? I’m sorry I have been so absent from the blog. I think this is the longest time between posts ever! Boo. I have been doing alright. I spent all week doing extra work to make up for missing so much the weeks before. I haven’t been in my craft room at all! I did finally clean it today. My husband helped me. It was seriously…

Butterfly Birthday

Here is a birthday card that I made with a basic grey stamp set that I am in love with! I did that pearlescent technique with liquid pearls again. I used white embossing powder and even with the embossing buddy, it still wouldn’t all come off. Anyone have any other techniques for getting a clean look with white embossing powder?
