Hello!  This is my first Moxie Fab Challenge entry.   I had to do this because I loved the challenge….. PLUM CRAZY.  I created the flower using circle felt and some thread.  If you want to see how I made the flower check out my video tutorial below before you leave my blog.  It’s so easy to make.  The sentiment is a rub on from SU… the background stamp is from hero arts.  I couldn’t resist I had to add some glitter and I did it using stickles on the button.  Plus I saw some pins that I got from Joanns fabrics and I just had to add it as a finishing touch.  Hope you guys like it.

I was in my craft room the for a good amount of time today watching the 1st season of Friends.  I love this show…it’s my favorite show ever.  I was so productive and was able to make a few cards and a video too.  So cool!  I could do this everyday.

Here’s my tutorial on the Felt Flower I made for this card.  If you have any question leave me a comment ok.  Hope you like it.
Thanks for visiting!!!

Mwah,

Today I’m Grateful for:  Finally our issues with the county on our sewer hook-up is all done….plus I had the energy and time to make cards in my craft room.  That doesn’t happen all of the time!!!

Hello there!!!!  This is my entry for Embellish Magazine’s challenge.  Oh how I love it.  This is by far my favorite (I think I say that every week).  But this really is.  I just love owls.  I have no clue how or when it started.  Well I take that back it started last year when I purchased my very first owl stamp from hero arts.  I have a ton now.  I just gravitate towards them.  Such cute little suckers!!!

On to the card…. I used a die cut I purchased earlier this year from twopeas.  Its a polaroid shape from quickutz.  I die I love this shape.  The stamp is from Unity KOTM the sentiment is by Ali Edwards.  I cut out the heart shaped eyes using felt and used embroidery floss to stitch around.  I wanted the eye to pop!!  Also the brown floss on the left was inspired by Sarah Martina.  Check out her card HERE.  Genius!!  Had to try it myself!!

I was hoping to get a couple of cards done but I never got to them.  I have a goal….I want to submit a card for 2S4Y, Moxie and Tuesday Trigger.  Wish me luck. . .

Today I’m Grateful for:  Amir…. you are simply amazing!!!  He hung out with me in my craft book room while watching TV.  He fell asleep.  I need a couch in here now.  Another excuse to go to Ikea  Isn’t Cece cute!!!

Alright 2nd card in the wee hours of the morning!!  I haven’t submitted a card to Dawns challenge in a while.  As you can see I’m still hooked on felt, sizzix and make my own embellies.  BTW these felt sheets are only $0.29/each at Joann Fabrics.  I love them!!!  I was so ready to purchase a yard of each color but I saw these in on e of the aisle.  I got one of each color and only spent $4.  So awesome!!

So this card is for my friend Nina in the Philippines.  She is my bestest friend over there and we don’t get to talk much but I just wanted her to know that I think about her always.  We’ve been through so much together.  I plan to send this to her as soon as I get her address.  I know by now she must have already given birth to her 2nd child.

Nina… not sure if you’re reading this or not but I just wanted to let you know that I miss yah and I wish you lived closer to me or I loved closer to you.

Sniff….. sniff….

Love yah Nins!!

Hello there!!!  It’s about 2am right now but I’ve been working to get my card in for Ms. M’s challenge.  This time I really didnt want to be on filipino time (aka late… no matter what).  Haha!!  So Sierra and I wanted to get  ours in before the challenge ends.  Plus I’m traveling to Charleston in a couple of hours for work and I don’t know if I’ll be able to blog while I’m away.

Ok short quick post here…. I used SU cardstock and paired it with Basic Greys Lemonade collection.  Seriously this card is making me hungry.  I also paired it with Basic Grey’s woolies.  I know I have been making things with felt but sorry I wish I made this ice cream embellishment.

Ms. M hope you like it!!! {{{{HUGS}}}}}

Today I’m Grateful for:  Amir spending time with me while I do my errands.  He also gave up a cowboys game for me….now thats love!!  haha!

Hello!!  I finally got to do some crafting yesterday.  I had a list of things I wanted to do and so far I got 50% of them done.  So this is my entry for the “Embellish the Cure” Challenge.  I absolutely loved this challenge.  I love the colors, the bling…it was just so fabulous!!

So lately I’ve been addicted to making my own embellishments.  For this one I used the Sizzix circle die cut to cut out the felt circles.  But it need some dimensions.  So I cut a slit on the circle and curled it over till it had a slight cone shape to it. Then I just added some rhinestone “bling” on the center.  I also finally got to  use my new Giga Guidelines stamp and embossed on the pink pirouette cardstock.  I found this to be slightly difficult . . .I couldn’t really see the image that good because I was using versa mark.  I wish it came with a giga grid too.  Nonetheless I still love how huge they are.

Lots of pictures below….gotta go for now and get some stuff done today.  I still have 2 more challenges to work.  Hope you guys are having a good weekend so far.

Mwah,

Hello there!! This is my submission to Ms. Emma’s 1st challenge.  I know I missed the deadline but I just had to do one anyway.  I hope she likes what I made.  I’m pretty much doing this so I can get a virtual hug from this cute little girl.  Haha!

Thank you all for checkin’ out my new home and thank you for adding me to your readers.  I have no clue how I would survive without out one.  My apologies for not being able to comment back personally.  I’m a guardian to an almost teenager here and I’m still trying to find my way through wordpress and all of the plugins for this thing.  I’m also trying to figure out the whole flikr or photobucket to wordpress thing.  Maybe tomorrow I’ll get there.

By the way this is my friend Sierra’s submission.  She had to make one too.

I’m off to bed now.  I have to wake up early to cook breakfast for friends.  Fritata and Cinnamon Buns are on the menu!!
