The table is set….. the creative idea has been met The music is playing, I’m excited…just saying The clock is tickin’ away waiting for you to come this way! See you soon ~ see you soon :-) ....yup...my cheesy little reminder for my girls that I emailed them  before our Christmas Gathering :-)   Do you recognize the DSP ~ I had it dry mounted at Costco as a gift give away during our evening. I created two different gift boxes, one using the Box Punch Board and one following a template for a pizza box and inside each of these sweet boxes, were the following little gift tag cards! These were just a small token for each of my girls :-) I appreciate them all so much ~ I have the best bunch of gals that come over and create with me on a regular basis ~ I am truly blessed! (insert heart) They also went home with a little luminary that I created for them! And I forgot to take a picture of the table after everyone brought a little something to share ~...

Our one and only little girl turns 2 next week! Katie is a sweet little cutie I found three fabulous challenges to play along with and thus began creating Katie's Birthday card!

It's been SO long since I've posted, I'm still trying to get the hang of our new place, oh, and I must say....LOVE IT!!!!!  Creating is not as easy at it was in my 1600 sq ft studio, but it works!!!  My punches are stored in large Rubbermaid bins under our bed and everything else is stored in large Ikea bookcases ~ everything is either in a bin, drawer or behind a door ~ so nothing looks like a craft room, it does force me to be VERY organized, which I am...but also VERY tidy with everything put away after, that does not come easily to me, but I'm working on it ~ once I'm feeling more settled with ALL corners put away, I'll post pictures of our new place ~ in the mean time, here is a picture of what we get to look at all day long!!! ~ I had so much fun creating this card for our daughter's birthday ~ Out came some new toys and away I went ~ also loosely followed the sketch from FMS203 and because this is a Birthday card, it also ...

Moving day from our tiny 961 sq ft condo into our 1400 sq ft condo is almost upon us ~ projected moving date is June 15 ~ our cabinets were delivered yesterday, flooring is in our unit, things just need to be put together...we are OVER the TOP excited to get settled once again...and we have another peek at our place later today ~ I'll post pictures on my next post...in the mean time, this is what it looks like on the outside ~ the view in front of the Condo and a shot across the river ~ our balcony in the second from the top on the right hand side, looking over the river ~ woohoo...get to work people! 17 days and counting!!! Now in the mean time, while I had everything out and putting things away is not as easy as it used to be...so I stayed with the same color theme as my last post ~ soft and sweet ~ here are the thank you cards that I came up with ~ loving the soft feel of this color combo, although taking the picture isn't the easiest ~ what do you think! ...

The BEST afternoon ever ~ sitting on our balcony and creating ~ talk about relaxing! I found these   challenges at Create With Connie & Mary  & Seize The Birthday  ~ and so I got right to work!  I need a birthday card for my wonderful mother and I'm very pleased with the outcome ~ we will celebrate her 80th birthday this weekend with a surprise Birthday luncheon ~ we have about 100 people coming to celebrate with us ~ I know mom will be blessed ~ And so while I was enjoying my time, I created two more cards!

The season of showers & weddings are upon us...I have a weekend of weddings showers, so I peeked in my stash of cards...yup....just what I thought...so last night I threw a CAS card together...is it wrong to have the same card for two different showers ~ the brides don't know each other and the ladies attending will be different at both showers...so yes...I cheated! I found two great challenges that gave me my starting point ~ Create with Connie & Mary have this great colour challenge and then I followed the sketch from CAS(E) This Sketch  .... thanks so much ladies for all that you do in helping us with a great place to start ~ THANKS ~  I do find CAS quite difficult as I'm used to more layers...but I am pleased with the out come of my shower card! what do you think? Thanks so much for popping by and having a peek ~ I hope you enjoyed your visit :-) ~ enjoy your day ~ If you live in Winnipeg or the vicinity and would like to host a party I would ...

I hope you're okay with me using your card for inspiration ~ your card is absolutely stunning ~ love your creativity so much...so wonderful to see what you share! Thanks So here's my cards that were inspired by LeAnne's card and the sketch at Just Add Ink I created each of these just a bit different ~ the top card...

Just a super quick post here...running out the door right away and forgot to do this yesterday...scatter brain over here ~ anyone else with this symptom :-) I created this card the other day and then into my 'inbox' this popped up yesterday from RetroSketches ~ I couldn't believe  how close the sketch was to my card ~ the sketch has the main image in a circle, but mine was square ~ hope thats okay girls ~ LOVE this....jump in and play along here is the sketch that is mostly like my card... and here is my card ~  Gotta run...thanks for popping by ~ have a great day ~  If you live in Winnipeg or the vicinity and would like to host a party I would love to come and stamp with you and your friends!!

What a fun day of creating I had ~ knew I wanted a birthday card but didn't have a starting place so I went on a hunt to find the challenges that would fit with the Big Day stamp set ~ I found this great sketch to follow from  retro sketches #154   and then this wonderful color challenge at  Stampin' Royalty #268     I can't believe this is the first time I've used the Large Polka Dot EF ~ I fussy cut around the banner and used Dimensionals to give it some depth ~ coloured each letter in CAKE to go along with the color challenge and then added Crystal Effects to each letter ~ I am pleased with the finished card, but it does look much nicer IRL Built for Free Using: My Stampin Blog Jump on in and join these challenges ~ there is still time to play...so let's go!!

Thanks!!! Dropped in on Connie & Mary and found a great color challenge and then popped in at Seize the Birthday and joined them again...thanks girls for these great challenges! I am loving the new Lotus Blossom stamp set from the Sale-A-Bration catalogue, oh and I love the that honeycomb from the Butterfly Basics stamp set too...and Sequins...and Gorgeous Grunge...these are MUST haves in my creative corner!!! Here is the birthday card that I created ~ I was very pleased with the card! I looked for my Lost Lagoon Stamp Pad, but couldn't seem to find it...must have gotten lost in the move, or maybe, I don't even own it...so I used Bermuda Bay ~ hope that's okay girls ~ I'm really pleased with the outcome of this birthday card ~ jump in and join in the fun!!...
