The big surprise is here! Courtney Baker at One Day at a Time has started a new challenge called “Everything but the Kitchen Sink”. Why is it called that? Well, each month we will host a new challenge using every day things from your home. All the fun bloggers involved will take turns hosting! The idea is to get us all thinking out of the box and using everyday things to make fun embellishments and…

Another Raspberry Suite challenge! I love these! This card is quick and simple, but I think it says a lot. “Enjoy the ride” is a sentiment that I certainly need to hear right now. So this card is very therapeutic. I love using crafting as free therapy ;). Here’s my color breakdown: Red (bike), Aqua (sentiment), Cream (twine in buttons), Chocolate (buttons), Kraft (card base). I like that one element was each of the colors!…

This card is full of new stamps and goodies! The birds and branches part is a Hero Arts stamp that I got with my prize. I just love it! I colored it in with copics. I used one of the scrolls from PTI’s vintage labels to create the background.
The twine is PTI’s rustic twine. It is rustic indeed! I think I have a few twine splinters! I hope you all had great weekends! I…

Hello everyone! This is one of my cards for the Embellish Magazine call. You guys should all participate. It’s super fun! This cute tree is from Unity. They were having this amazing buy one get one free sale, and I decided to buy some stamps. Well, I totally messed up my order. I called Unity and not only did they still give me my free stamps, even though I was the one who messed up…

The grass is actually from the other end of my Silhouette grass cut out. I just used the left over part and it looks really cool! I love to get the most out of my cuts! Also, I have some…

It’s My Cute Stamps Tuesday! Woo! I went a completely different direction from my usual and decided to use the gorgeous My Cute Stamp set Celebrate Today. I just love the images in this set and it’s wonderful sentiment.I also decided to play along with Embellish Magazine‘s Polka Dot Paradise Color Challenge . How absolutely gorgeous are these colors?

I was so excited about the Moxie Fab Around the House Challenge . What a fun idea! I immediately thought of this Cosmo Cricket Early Bird line. I saw this cutie toaster and toast, and then I thought of the Ali Edwards Loving Words stamp set. I love that her set has these typewriter looking fonts. Typewriters are “around the house” items too (well, kind of!) So I tried to make it look like I…
