The Sweet Stop Sketch 145

Oh it is a wonderfully chilly Saturday morning here.  I so appreciate the cold days after the 105 degree summer temperatures and drought we had.  Saturday means another fabulous sketch from The Sweet Stop.  I got to use this brand new digi from By Lori Designs Hugs for Hearts that just worked perfectly for the big image panel.
 I made a banner to go along with the one on the image and used Basic Grey Sugar Rush Paper.  My usual cloud sky was inked with CTMH Twilight and clouds that I cut out.
 So I used a crazy amount of Copics so, I just took a picture(this isn't even all of them).

Now it is time to stop by and visit the rest of the Sugar Babies.

Have a wonderful weekend!

Favorites of 2011 Part 2

Here we are New Year's Eve, I just can't believe it!!  So I have been thinking about things I want to do in the New Year with this blog and hobby.  I have a few tutorials to finish including a hair color reference chart and I want to take pictures and share a few organizing ideas.  I want to create just for fun and work on more projects a side from cards.  A resolution that I broke last year...use the digis and rubber that I already have.  Start a Facebook page... check (see my side bar I would love it if you "Like" my blog) and start an Etsy shop.  Last but not least spend more time visiting my Followers.  I love you guys and sometimes DT work can take so much time that I just can't make it to everyone's blog but I so love and appreciate all of you and the comments.
If you are still with me here are the rest of my favorite cards of 2011.  I hope you enjoy taking a look back.
I have to say this is my absolute favorite.  I love this image and I used my favorite colors and was very happy with her hair.
I hope everyone has a safe and wonderful New Year with many blessings!!

By Lori Designs Inspiration for the New Year

How is everyone surviving the last minute countdown to Christmas? I still have cards to mail, baking to do and presents to wrap but it is all good.  Today is a bit of a sad post as it is my last one as a member of the By Lori Designs Team.  I can't believe how fast the DT term went by.  Lori Boyd is such a talented lady and a wonderful person and I am so happy to have been apart of such a wonderful and talented group of ladies.  Today I made a calendar page for the much neglected hanger I have had for so long.  I used super cute Winter Ella along with a calendar download from Taylored Expressions that you can find HERE.

I am not sure I will be able to make any more posts this week with so much to do, so just in case I want to wish everyone a very Merry Christmas and say Thank You for all of your visits and comments they mean the world to me.

Inspiration Tuesday With BLD

So it actually feels like winter in South Texas, I wasn't sure I would see it after the summer we had.  I am going to keep the post short this evening since I have a lot of cards to make this week.  Tuesdays are By Lori Designs Inspiration day so I have a couple of cards to share with you.
For my first card I used BLD Puddle Jumper Harper.  The paper is from The Paper Studio and I used my new Five Point Flowers Die from C.C. Designs. The sketch is this weeks Deconstructed Sketch DS29
Challenges

The second card today was made by my Riley and she used Winter Dana .  Boy does this girl love to craft.  I will have to share a picture of the kids craft table soon...oh my I can't keep it picked up.
I guess that is it for today.  I will be back a few more times this week so I hope you will visit again soon.

Tis the Season for Tags

Today my "baby" Addison turns 4 so I am busy trying to make a monkey cake.  She adores monkeys and those cakes are hard to find so this will be the second year to make one.  Anyway with that being said my post is super fast today but it is Tuesday which means it is Inspiration time at By Lori Designs and the team has some great things to share with you.
I used Winter Dana Puddle Jumper for my tag today and the sentiment is my favorite set this season Christmas Tags from Sweet n' Sassy.  I really need to get a lot more tags made before the wrapping begins.  
Have a great day and I will see you again very soon!!

Thanksgiving Wishes

Hi everyone!! I hope your week is going well, it is too early for me to tell here:)  Today is Tuesday which means it is time for some By Lori Designs Inspiration from the wonderful design team.  I decided to make a a Thanksgiving card which is something I haven't made this year.   I used the super cute Katie and Grace Digi.  I was having a very off day in the coloring department but sometimes you just have to go with it, at least that is what I told myself.
I picked up this paper in the dollar section at Target a few weeks back and thought if nothing else my kids could use it but it turned out to be the perfect whimsical touch I was looking for.  I also had this burlap laying around for months just waiting to be used.  The die is My Favorite Things Jumbo Scallop  and the sentiment is from C.C. Designs Amy R Autumn Sentiments.

Have a wonderful crafty kind of day:)

It's Begining to Look Like Winter

Well maybe only in my card world is it looking like winter.  It is still warm here in South Texas but I am not going to complain because it isn't 105 anymore.  I often think I would like to live somewhere that has more "seasons" but the mild winters here are so nice.
Today I have a little winter inspiration for you from By Lori Designs.  Lori has some cute winter digis that you can find right HERE along with some more inspiration from the design team.  I used Winter Landon for my card along with this weeks Deconstructed Sketch 26.  I did add a tag to the sketch because it just needed something more.

Back From Vacation

I made it back from our vacation to Disney World and we had a wonderful time.  We made a lot of memories including dinner at Cinderella's Castle, a pirate makeover and my son got to sword fight the Jack Sparrow on stage(he was in heaven).  It was a lot of walking and people every where but it went so well that I wasn't ready to come home.  I hope you don't mind but I wanted to share a few pictures of our vacation.



Today By Lori Designs has some wonderful inspiration by the Lollipop Girls.  Here is a card I made last week and forgot to post it with all of the excitement.  I love making cupcake cards and just decided to add some cute little flowers to make the frosting.  I used the BLD I'm One-Girl Digi image and paper from Lilli Bee's Hello Sunshine. 

There is also a new fundraiser bundle to help Katie Renz and you can find out all of the details right Here.  I hope you will keep the prayers coming for Katie and her family.

Have a wonderful week and I will see you in a few more days when I get caught up:)

Help 4 Katie



I am writing this morning about and for Katie Renz you can meet her HERE on her Card blog and HERE on her Family Blog. 
Many of you may know that she has a wonderful husband, 3 beautiful little boys, that she is a super Mommy and way talented crafter...she also has Stage 4 Gastic Cancer.
Today, her husband wrote an update on her blog. Although we have never met, her story touches me beyond words and my heart breaks for her and her family.  I am continuing to pray for Katie's Miracle!!!!! I hope will join me!

Lori Boyd at the start of the year was asked to design a stamp for Katie,and ended up getting an email from her telling her how much she loved it. She said it really was her boys. She was so very very sweet and very appreciative!  Sooooo, Lori and all of the BLD Team wanted to do a HUGE push of this image for her babies!!  Lori told her we were going to do this and that forever this stamp would be theirs!!  It just so happens that her 2 little guys have a birthday on the 19th of this month and her big boy has one on the 1st of December. I would LOVE to bless them with a wonderful birthday and Christmas, so that Kevin and Katie do not have to think of worry about that!


$5
