Postcard collection!

I LOVE how this turned out. I used one of the templates from papertrey to make this magazine file and created this to hold postcards that I collect from various vacations. This is from the set Going Somewhere fromMy Favorite Things....I love this set!!! It is so much fun to play with!

Dancing Queen

This is an older card that I made awhile back but I never posted! I am finding too many of those lately!


You can tell how old this is cause my maiden name is in the watermark :) This was one of the first cards I did using copics! This was over a year ago so it is hard for me to name the other special stuff used!

Crafty Summer Fun!

I love the Amy collection!!!! They are soooo adorable and SO MUCH fun to color! And anything that allows me to color makes me a happy girl. I love bright and fun colors!!!

Stampin' Bella Challenge

I LOVE stella.....she was one of those stamps I HAD to have. I colored her with my copics and used a fun glitter pen to color her wand, crown, olive and shoes. This follows a fun sketch from paula over on the Friday Stamping Bella challenge. I had the hardest time with this sketch. I wasted SOOOOO much paper making this one card.
This sentiment is from verve and I think it fits this image perfectly!!!! I also tried using some crazy stitching.

Lovely flowersoft!

This is such a sweet image! I loved using the flowersoft with this cause it adds so much fun texture to any project!

CSN store Bedroom Furniture help!

Recently I found this great store that is actually tons of stores all rolled into one convenient web site! I started browsing and they literally have everything I was looking for! Awhile ago hubby and I were given a brand new cal king mattress....well, we have no sheets or bedding or even new furniture to fit it since our old set really doesn't do the trick. Guess what? CSN Stores has tons of really cool, hip, PERFECT Bedroom Furniture Sets!!!! They even have adorable bedding that would be perfect!!!

Ok the picture above would be perfect in my master bedroom!!! same color as some of our other furniture....hmmm decisions, decision!!!!

One of those days

This was one of those stamps that as soon as I saw it I HAD to buy it! I made this over a year ago when I first purchased copics. I am finding a lot of cards that were never posted on my blog. You may see some oldie but goodies sprinkled among my new creations. at least you can see how much I have evolved!

I love this sentiment from Verve stamps! Isn't is SO true! sometimes there will be days like this!

Birthday Amy

One of the past Crafty Sentiments challenge was to make a birthday inspired card. This was my take on that challenge.

I love the lattice background from stampin up and this design paper was perfect!

Another attempt....crossing my fingers

Stamping Bella was my first non stampin up purchase. and that was at the beginning if this addiction...uh I mean hobby ;) I have loved everything Em has done with her company and she is at the top of my list of stampin' babes I HAVE to meet. You know that question where you have to pick people you would have to a dinner party and it can be anyone dead or alive.....Well one of mine is Em. Just reading her blog you know she would be a blast to have at the dinner party, especially after this sistah keeps topping off her wine glass!

I was overjoyed when I found out that Em was hosting her first EVER open design team call! Well part of it is you have to enter all of the August challenges. Easy Peasy..right?

Well this weeks was to add bling. Sounded simple enough...umm 3 cards later that just weren't enough and this was the best out of the three! UGH! It is not my favorite work I have ever done but I still think it turned out all right.....just not my best work....I am ready to jump in to see what the next week has in store. I am hoping with my birthday being at the end of the month that will be some added luck for me....

I love daisyboardabella!!! She is fierce :) I also had some basic grey eskimo kisses still in my stash and I love that Wild wasabi matches perfect. For the bling I added martha stewert snow glitter under her boots and dew drops in the corners.

I feel like a contestant on American Idol....."This means the world to me and this is my dream" and I am holding up 2 fingers and Ryan is telling everyone to call to vote for me! :) Stay tuned for more bella goodness!!! I am in a goofy mood as I am posting this so excuse the rambling!
