So, I have a card for y'all that uses one of Teri's images from Delicious Doodles.   This one is called Voodoo Woman.

I don't think this is too creepy of a Valentine's card, do y'all?  I like it.

I thought I would do her a little Valentiney, so she's in pink and black.  Make sure you hop over to Sassy's FB page and check out all the wonderful creations posted there.  You have until the end of this month to enter the challenge.

Clear It Out Challenge #14

Hello there.  It's Tuesday and everyone on the east coast is preparing for the worst snowstorm in years. They have changed our totals three or four different times.  The worst so far is 16-32 inches.  Only the good Lord knows exactly how many inches of snow we are going to get, so I'm headed to the store tomorrow to pick up some stuff just in case our power goes out.

Today starts the new challenge at Clear It  Out.  
Our theme: Valentine's Day
Our Stash: Flowers
Our Sponsor: Stamp Art by Kathryn

I used the cute Luv U Pengi to make my card.  I printed off two copies of the image and fussy cut the two penguins out and decoupaged them.  I used three of Heidi Swaps color it roses and some Recollection flowers to meet the challenge.

I hope y'all will stop by and enter into our new challenge.  You could win some images from Stamp Art as your prize if you are the winner.

Have a wonderful Tuesday, keep warm and God bless y'all.

Your Love Keeps Lifting Me

Hello there..again.  Thanks so much for staying with me tonight to see what I have created.  I have done one more Valentine's Day card.

Yep, that's right.  No, your eyes aren't playing tricks on you.  There is no image that was colored with my trusty Crayolas.  LOL.  This one uses a fabric flower and a wooden button as the focal image.

I know it looks like the sentiment is crooked, but it's not really.  It's supposed to look that way because of what it says.

Thanks so much for keeping up with me today.  I hope y'all have a great night and God bless.

Valentine's with Ike's World

Hello y'all.  Thanks for stopping in tonight.  I have a couple of post to make for tonight.  I've been making some last minute Valentine's Day cards.  I need to get a couple in the mail tomorrow.

We are in line for another snow storm on Wednesday.  I sure hope they either change their minds about the totals or that it misses us all together....16-28 inches.  Really??  I am not looking forward to that.  I sure hope the good Lord spares us.

My first card uses an image from Ike's World.  For those of you who have used Ike's images, y'all know that she can be a bit off kilter with her images.  So, with that in mind, I decided to make an off kilter Valentine's Day card.  

A bit different, right?  My daughter's best friend loves horses.  She has started taking riding lessons and is trying very hard talking her parents into buying her a horse.  It's not working very well.  I told my daughter that she could give this card to her BFF for Valentine's Day.

Thanks so much for stopping by today.  I hope y'all enjoy the rest of your evening.  God bless.

Monday's with Digi Darla

Good Monday Morning.  It's back to the daily grind after a great weekend.  My husband and I attended a retirement party for one of his boss' this  past Saturday.  It was a great time.  Sonny will definitely be missed at my husband's place of employment.  It's back to school for us too...man, sometimes I hate Mondays..:)

Today starts a new challenge at Digi Darla.  We are up to challenge #101.  Our theme this week is a "Copy Cat" challenge.  That means that everyone who wants to participate needs to jump over to the Digi Darla blog and download the free image.  Make a card, project, scrapbook page, etc using that image.   Here's my take on it:

It is a very simple image this time and doesn't need alot of embellishments and such.  I went pretty CAS this time.

Thanks so much for stopping in to see me today.  I hope y'all will decide to enter a project in the challenge this week.  Have a wonderful Monday and God bless.

I Love You This Much!!!

Happy Friday.  Are y'all as happy to see Friday as I am?  It's been a long week, at least it seems that way.  Tonight my husband is going with his father to our area's annual Venison Dinner.  They get to have all kinds of food and they always have a speaker.  This year they are speaking on Bears in Our Area.  It's nice for the men in our area to be able to get together and fellowship.  So, while they are gone, my daughter, my MIL, my GMIL and I are going out for Chinese and hitting Five Below and maybe Hobby Lobby.

On to the reason y'all actually stopped by.  Since it's Friday, that means a new challenge at QKR Stampede.  This week, our theme is Hearts and Kisses.  Yep, we've jumped on the Valentine's bandwagon. 

I love turtles, among many other things, so I decided to use this little man whose been kissed.

Thanks so much for stopping by today.  I hope y'all have a great Friday and God bless y'all.

Your Love Warms My Heart

Hi there, friends.  Welcome back to my little piece of the world.  It's still cold here...there's still snow on the ground and we are supposed to get more this weekend.  Ick!!! I'm ready for some warm sunny days.

The card for this post features a freebie image from A Day for Daisies.  I wasn't sure how to turn this freebie into a Valentine's Card with Pink and Red, but then I saw the hearts on the mugs and it hit me...

I used some scraps of Valentine's papers to make the background for the image.  I love that little dog..he's so cute.

Thanks so much for stopping by today.  I will probably have a couple more post for this evening. Have a great night and God bless.

Bee My Valentine

Thanks for coming back to see my next card.  This one is a bit off the wall as far as Valentine's go.  I wanted to do something a bit different.  Curious yet?

Yes, you are seeing things right...It's a yellow Valentine's card.  I did a touch of pink, just to make it Valentiney, but the majority of it follows the colors of a bee.  I thought it was cute!  

Thanks so much for stopping by.  I hope y'all have a great day.  Think outside the box when making cards for a certain holiday, season or occasions  Thats's part of the fun of making your own cards.
God bless y'all.

Hello there all my blogland friends.  I have some news for y'all today.  This post marks my first card as a member of the Digital Stamps 4 Joy team.  I'm so excited to be part of such a great team.  I look forward to some making some great friends during my time with Margy and the DS4J team.

Our new challenge is "Heart".  You can either make a heart shaped card or add hearts to your project.  I chose to add some hearts.

Isn't this little pin up girl just adorable?  I love her shoes.  Even though I would probably break my neck again, I would love to have a pair.  

Thanks so much for stopping by today.  I hope that y'all will stop by DS4J this week and see what the rest of my teamies have created for y'all.  Have a wonderful day and God bless!

New Challenge at Melonheadz Friends

Happy Monday, friends.  Thanks for joining me today for a new challenge at Melonheadz Friends. Our last challenge, "Winter Fun" brought some amazingly creative cards into our blog.  I'm glad I don't have to pick the winner.

This challenge, since it's the Valentine's season, is of course, "Valentine's".  We all have that special someone or someones that we need to make cards for, so here's your opportunity to get a few made.

Y'all know that me and my redneck self loves "Duck Dynasty".  My daughter's favorite character on the show is Uncle Si.  She thinks he is hysterical.  For Christmas, she had a list a mile long of things with Uncle Si on them.  So, I made this card for her.

I think he turned out pretty good.  As you can see, he has his infamous blue tea glass.  On the front, I used Phil's quote, but on the inside it says "That's a fact Jack", which is Uncle Si's quote.

Thanks so much for stopping by to see me today.  I hope y'all will hop on over to Melonheadz and check out what my design sisters have created.  Have a wonderful Monday and God bless y'all.

Challenge #3 Open Minded Crafting Fun

Good Saturday Morning.  I hope all is well out there in blogland.  It seems that I finally caught the ick that the rest of my household had earlier this month (January).  It is nasty.

Our new challenge for this round is "Show Some Love".  That leaves alot to interpretation, doesn't it?  
We have some great sponsors too.

So, I decided to go with Scrapper's Delight to make my card for this challenge.

This is Draco.  He's so cute.  I used my Cutterbee Scissors and freehanded the background heart from a The Paper Studio paper pad.

Thanks so much for stopping by today.  I sure hope to see some of y'all's creations in our challenge. God bless y'all and have a great Saturday.

Happy Friday my friends.  So glad you stopped in. It's cold, cold, cold here.  I am so ready to be fussing cause it's hot.

Today's card, yes, there is only one for today, is made using the Friday's Sketch Challenge #61.

I used a template that I found on the back of a Tastycake box.  I buy them for my husband's lunch and this cool heart template was on the back. Recycle, recycle, reuse..yep, that's a good thing.

Thanks again for stopping to see me today.  I will be back tomorrow with a beautiful card using an Art by Miran image and a new challenge for Paper A La Mode.   Have a fab night and God bless y'all.

Lovebug

Hello again.  Thanks for stopping by.  I have one more card for y'all today.  Kierstynne was finally able to go back to school today and since she's homeschooled, I'm one tired Mama.  It's not as easy as everyone thinks to be a homeschool Mom.  It's just as much work as going outside my home.  

Kierstynne decided she wanted her hair cut today.  She's had long hair since she was a little girl and I couldn't believe that she wanted it shorter.  The wanted a wispy, angled cut.  Here's how it turned out:

I think she looks so much older than 9 now, but I really like it.  I think I did a pretty good job on it.  Yes, I went to beauty school.

OK..now that I have shown off my mini-me, on to the card.

I used the challenge from Cardabilities #91 Sketch to make this card.  I did change it up a bit because I didn't like all the elements on the same side.  I also followed the Craft Your Passion challenge which is #197 Face the Music.  You have to make a card based on a song.  I chose George Jones' Lovebug from 1965.  I am also entering this one into the Twisted Tuesday challenge this week.  #68 is to use Washi Tape and the twist: use something that starts with a "T", "A", "P", "E".  You only have to pick one letter, but after making my card, I realized that I had all four letter....T is for Tsukineko ink, A is for American Crafts Swirl Stamps, P is for Patterned Paper from the Paper Studio, and E is for Embossing using Spellbinders Dies.  I also used the Recycling challenge at Oldie but a Goodie by recycling the heart shaped brads and turning them into glue on embellishments, and the Created with Love #73 Winged Things challenge.

Thanks so much for stopping by today.  This is my last card for today and I will be back tomorrow with some more eye candy. Have a wonderful night and God bless y'all.
