M M M Material GIrl!

I have to give photos credits... did you notice my new blog banner? I had to give up the snow photo (no matter how cool it was that it snowed in the South) when the azaleas are blooming (yeah - I know!!). About two weeks ago my daughter wanted to take a nature walk to take photos with her new digital camera (she bought it with her birthday money). I asked if I could use one of the geese photos for her blog. :) She was more than happy to agree.

So.... on to other things...

Sometimes you just have to create just to create, right? Here's what I did with some my Cosmo Cricket Material Girl. I love the 6x6 paper pads - they are great for cards.

The felt alphas are from Making Memories. The felt flower is from my stash.



The stamps are from Paper Trey Ink (Blooming Button Bits).

Packing my bags tonight - Six Flags, here we come!! Have a wonderful day and thanks for stopping by.

Just a little something

Just a little card...




This uses Dream Street and a My Minds Eye. The butterfly was cut from the Cricut using Indie Art, then coated with Doodlebug sugary glitter. The die cut and ribbon is from SEI. Sent this one of my friends (a little lumpy, hope it survived the mail processing).

Have a great day!

Presenting "Painted Lady" from Cupcardstogo!

May Flowers and Butterflies! The May Cupcardstogo Kit is called "Painted Lady" - and it's absolutely breathtaking. I had the best time working with this kit - the inspiration just did not stop. If you are looking for a card kit club, hurry and get on the waiting list for subscriptions. You won't be sorry.

Here are a few of the cards I made with this kit.

















Check back this week for more cards made with this kit!

A few more cards

Starting the Monday with 5 loads of laundry to do and a painting to finish. I just dropped by to post a couple more cards made with the April Cupcardstogo Kit. I hear there is a waiting list for subscribers - so if you want to get this kit - get on the wait list NOW!


The rubons in this kit are from Dream Street papers!









Have a wonderful Monday! I'm always excited on Monday afternoons because I know that two of my favorite TV series come on!

March winds doth blow...

If you wondered where I've been, all I can say is that March truly has been a windy month for me! I started a new part-time job for a photographer and I'm learning all kinds of new editing programs. And in another fun thing that is not related at all to my new job - I was asked to be a still photographer for a local movie production. I spent several hours in a wet misty cemetary shooting. It was fun. I'll put some photos at the bottom of this post. Anyway - all these things at once has cut my blogging and papercrafting time in more-than-half, but I'm adjusting! I just spent a couple of days at a local crop and made some progress, had some "down-time" and laughed with friends.

I realize I never posted the rest of my March CupCards2Go cards, and pretty soon I'll be posting peeks of my April cards. Yikes! Time has flown.

Okay - so here are some more cards done with the March Cupcardstogo kit. The music papers are from Piggy Tales and the stamp is from Unity Stamps.










And I have one page to share. This page is done with the new CHA Winter papers from Dream Street Papers. This is the "Heartsong" collection.





And, as promised, here are a couple of stills I shot last weekend for my friend's new movie. As my schedule permits, I'll be doing more.





Have a wonderful day and thanks for stopping by!!!

Welcome March

I was cleaning house yesterday - the first day of March. My daughter said "Mom, are you having someone over?" I told her no. Then she said "Are you cleaning house because it's the first day of March?".

I guess if that were the case, then I'm done until April 1.

Anyway - the first of March at CupCardsToGo means that you can see the kit and what the design team created with it. The March kit is called "Magic Moments". It has some Basic Grey, Making Memories, Dream Street and oodles of other goodies.

Here's a couple of cards that I made with this kit.







The stamp on the above card is also included in the kit. It's from Unity Stamps.







You can see the entire design team gallery here. You can see the kit contents of the Magic Moments kit here.

Have a great day and I hope you see spring flowers soon!

Celebration Time

Celebration Time is the theme for the CupCardsToGo Kit Club this month! The kit has just been posted, so grab one before they are gone.

I'm so excited to be able to share the cards I made with this awesome kit. The first card is one for Miss Baylee. If you know Sonda, the owner of CupCardsToGo, you know that Baylee is her daughter, and she has a birthday this month! The design team surprised her with cards made with the February kit. Have a wonderful birthday month, Baylee!




This kit has Bella Blvd., Making Memories, American Crafts, and Scenic Route papers. You can see the kit contents HERE. Here's some more cards from this kit.

I'm so happy it's Friday. Speaking of birthdays, my little one has a birthday this weekend, so we'll be celebrating it all weekend long. Have a great day and thanks for stopping by.

Yippee! It's Friday!!!!

Happy Friday Everyone! My, my, it has been a busy blogging week for me. And it's not just limited to blogging - just busy in all areas.

Today I just wanted to share a few more of the cards I made with my November Cupcardstogo kit. And word has it that there are very few of these left - so if you want one, you had better hurry.

Here are some cards. The kit contents include papers from 7Gypsies, Fancy Pants, Dream Street and GCD Studios, rubons from Melissa Frances and tag stickers from 7Gypsies. Oh, the cute little owl transparency is from Fancy Pants. He's one of my favorite elements.









Okay - whew! I'm worn out and looking forward to a great weekend. Have a wonderful one.
