Mr. Bunny says you are wonderful :)

Happy Valentine's Day Eve!!! 

It's M-day {yea, me and M-day still don't get along, lol!} and I have now declared M-day to be an extension of the weekend! M-day used to be my 'cleaning/organizing' day for the week - I have now switched it to Sundays and M-days are now my days to just get the kiddos to/from school and relax with a good book or crafty-time :) hee hee!!! 

To start the week right! Let's play along with The Greeting Farm's 

Farm Fresh "Monday Fun Day" Challenge!!!

This week, I challenge you to use Red and Pink on your cards/projects :) 

Here's my card using my Lucky Bunnies Clear Stamp Set... 

Oh! and I'm entering my card into The Spotted Chick's 

That's Krafty Thursday Challenge #58 too :) 

These bunnies are just so darn cute!!! 

and this sentiment is truly a favorite! 

I paper pieced Mr. Bunny with Kraft CS and WeRMemory Keepers DP... 

total sweetness!!! 

Be sure to stop by and see what the rest of the DT has been up to!

A pair of Thank You cards...

Hello again!!! I hope you're enjoying your Monday :)
I just wanted to stop in real quick to share a couple of Thank You cards I created this weekend - and then I'm off to both of my boys Parent/Teacher Conferences! I looove hearing what the teachers have to say about them, and I will also be receiving their first report cards for this year :)  Will probably have to stop somewhere and get them a treat on the way home, I have a feeling that they're both doing exceptionally well ;) hee hee!!!

Back to my cards ;)
I had a bit of time this weekend and wanted to stock up on some Thank You cards...
It's been a looong time since I've used some of my older stamps, and I came across my very small box of Pure Innocence stamps from MFT - I just had to let them come out and play for a bit!

I then when in search of a few challenges to play along with :)
It's been a while since I've done that too!
I used the following challenges on my cards:
- MFT Wednesday Sketch Challenge #147
- Simon Says Stamp Challenge: Tag You're It!
- That's Kraft Thursday Challenge #56
- Raise The Bar Challenge #85: Thank You/Grateful
- Card Makin Mamas Challenge #34: Sentiment
- Crafty Sprouts Challenge: Tag It

I had my pad of My Mind's Eye Darling Dear sitting in from of me, and decided to use up all the scraps that I had saved up in there :) This little girlie is called "Being Cute Is What I Do".
I just looove her pigtails - so girlie and sweet :)


For my next card, I used "Apple For You"...

This little PI cutie was one of the first Pure Innocence stamps I ever got - and she is still my all time favorite out of the whole collection :) 

I used up some more of my scraps! and had a bit of fun with the button, lol! 

This button has a large hole in the middle and just a lil piece of plastic in the back, I couldn't figure out what to do with it, and then 'duh!' it hit me - it's like one of those old fashion belt buckles where you just need to slip the ribbon through and there you go ;) hee hee! geesh! I must be getting old ;) 

OH! and I'm just realizing now that I paper pieced them both with the same DP! LOL! 

I hope you likey my cards!

Tonight is the "almost 8yo's" first night of basketball training! 

He's a bit on the fence on trying out a new sport! Cross your fingers that all goes well ;) 

Thanks for looking today!!! xoxoxo 

So Very MONDAY of her :)

Good Monday to YOU!!! 

It is definitely a typical Monday around here! 

It all started last night when I couldn't get my pic to upload anywhere, geesh!

I was up waaay tooo laaat {yawn!}

and kiddos are home sick today :( Off to the Dr's office this afternoon! 

Oh, before I get on with the rest of my post ;) 

I changed the settings to my blog to make everything a bit larger -

I thought that everything around here was a bit too small, but now, 

I think I made it toooo BIG! LOL! 

Any feedback will be greatly appreciated ;) 

Now, to make my Monday brighter and better!!! 

Today is Monday Fun-Day at The Greeting Farm Challenge Blog! 

and for this week, Lisa has challenged us to use... 

NO designer/pattern papers!!! (eek!) AND use ONE ribbon!!! 

NO designer paper?! 

Do you know how hard it is to accomplish that???

Especially when your die-cutting machine is broken and you cannot play with your cardstock because you cannot use your dies or embossing folders :( sigh... 

I have also used the following challenges on my card: 

- That's Kraft Thursday #55: Use Kraft CS 

- CAS-ual Fridays Challenge#27: Over the Edge

So being that it is Monday, guess who had to come out and play??? 

"MONDAY"

... from the Creeper Crew! 

I wish I had her Monday attitude!!! 

Love her style! and added a piece of doilie to girlie her card up a bit :)
and I was lucky to find a scrap of red scallops in my pile too!
I usually don't die-cut ahead of time, I do it each time I create something, so that was a plus! The whole card pretty much revolved on that red strip, lol! 

Hope you all have a better and wonderful Monday!!! 

Please be sure to visit the rest of the DT for some non-DPing and ribbon inspiration!!!

StampInsanity Stamps Sketch Challenge #14

 Woo Hoo! TGIF :)

I am thrilled that the weekend is just a few hours away! We have a fun-filled weekend all set up and hoping that the weather behaves for it ;)

I'm also happy to say that after this post, I am all caught up! {patting self on back, lol!} Feels so good to finally be up to date and with our new schedule kicking in next week, it's perfect timing!

I cannot believe that my 'big boy' is graduating from Kindergarten next week! Time just continues to fly along... my 'baby boy' is turning 4 next week too! Don't you wish you could freeze time for at least a few days ;)

Okay, sorry, enough rambling...

Today I'd like to share with you my take on Beth's awesome sketch from

StampInsanity Stamps

It's a bit different than my usual style, but I really feel in love with this sentiment from her "Simply Supernatural" Rubber Stamp Sentiment Set...

"A circle is round, it has NO END;

That is how long I'll be YOUR FRIEND."

Here's Beth's amazing "Dollar" sketch!!!

I'm also entering my card to Jeanie's "That's Krafty Thursday" Challenge #31!!!

Kraft cardstock is always my first "go to" for card bases! I love how it looks!

I used a 7x7 piece of Kraft; the wood circle and baubles are from K&Company, added some gorgeous ribbon from SEI and blinged it up a bit for the eye :)

What do you think???

Please be sure to take some time and visit StampInsanity Stamps Groovy Girls for more "Dollar Sketch" inspriation ;)

Have a fab Friday :*)

Banana-rific!!!

Banana-rific! I cleaned up my desk!!! I have a quick lil card to share... I created this card strictly from scraps leftover from the cards I made for the Caffinated Cropper Blog Hop today, hence, cleaning off my desk area ;) Lookie here - even the cards base is a scrap! This card measures almost 5 1/2 inches tall and almost 3 inches wide... I won this darling lil Sweet November's Fruit of the Month stamp called "Sweet Banana" designed by Amy of A Thousand Sheets of Paper, from All That Scraps April's release! This is the first time that I've had a moment to ink her up! Yea! I drool over Amy's creations and hope that I did her proud with this one ;)

I'd like to enter my card to the following challenges :)

- That's Krafty Thursday Challenge #29 - Use Kraft CS

- Charisma Cardz Challenge#22 - Flowers

I'm sorry about my pic, first, my pics were to blurry, and now they look too bright, lol!

My card is very Amy inspired ;) I used a lil leftover Jenni Bowlin Lemonad DP, mounted lil Miss Banana, added tiny Primas and Pearls and the ribbon is from Papertrey Ink - love it! Need to get me some more ;) Especially since I just ran out of their Kraft cardstock too!

I have to admit, I think that other than any of the Twilight themed stamps that I own ;) this one has become one of my most fave of all! She is just sooo cute! and we are huge on bananas over here! - my kids eat at least one or two a day! She's just the perfect addition to my lil stash here ;)

I can't wait to see what the next Fruit of the Month lil darling will be!  

Here is a close up of Sweet Banana - I used my Clear and Lemon Spica pens to make her sparkly wings, hat and tips of her dress...

Thanks for looking today :) I hope you likey!
Be sure to stop by Amy's blog and see her latest released stamps - Mermaids!

I'm a lil behind on my blog/stalking/surfing right now -
I'll be by soon enough!
