Hello!

Just popping by with another quickie post to show ya another recent card. Here's one that is more in keeping with the current season, lol. This digi is another from Tiddly Inks, called 3 for you. I had intended this card to be for Mother's Day, but somehow it never made it anywhere...oops. Guess I'll have to find another purpose for it. :) I colored it with my Bics, Sharpies, and gel pens. The colors of the paper might look a bit off...the scalloped circle and the ribbon are actually green. Anyway...I thank you for visiting l'il ole me, and please come visit me again. Until next time...TOODLES!!

Just a quick one...

to share one of the cards I made recently. I had been inspired by THIS card on SCS for awhile now, but it just took me a long time to make my version of it. I obviously changed a thing or two from the original, but I like how it turned out. No stamping at all on this one, as the snowman is recycled from a "generic" card I was filling out (and goofed!) a couple years ago. Well, thanks for visiting, and until next time...TOODLES!!

A Whimsie image for their FIRST ANNIVERSARY!

Whimsie Doodles is celebrating it's first anniversary this month...to celebrate, they had a blog hop, and a card challenge that ends tonight. Look at me waiting until (almost!) the last minute!!! And isn't this image just too cute? And funny! My kids love this one...they already wanna know who it's for, LOL! I had alot of fun coloring this one up with a combo of Bic Mark-Its, Sharpies and a couple of gel pens. I mounted the image on a Spellbinder's scalloped oval made from foam. I am soooo lovin' the foam! The white CS was embossed with a Sizzix folder, and I used a circle punch to "ticket punch" the corners as best I could. I used a sparkle-y wired ribbon underneath the image. Well, I best stop yakkin' and get this post done and linked up for my chance to win! Good luck to all who enter! :) TOODLES!!!

A digi from Delightful Inspiration

I found this blog, Delightful Inspiration, a few weeks ago while searching for more free digital stamps...what can I say? Free is great! Anyway, the digi's here are very cute, and the owner of the blog, Faith, runs a challenge with her digis. This challenge is unique from others though, in that it is a progressive one...meaning that in order to get the following week's freebie, you must have completed the current week's challenge. Each challenge runs for a month, so if you miss it for a week, you have to wait until the next month to grab the next free-for-all freebie. Neat huh? When I grabbed this image, the challenge was actually already over, but Faith was away from her computer, so I managed to snag it anyway! WOOHOO! I think this is so durn cute! I mean, who doesn't love a cute little bird and a flower? :) A great image that could be used for lots of ocassions! I chose to use the Hi from the Hero Arts Happy Hello set as my sentiment on this one. The DP is from the same piece of paper as I used in my previous post. I used a strip of orange CS put thru the MS loopy edge punch to accent the left side, as well as a square of orange to mat my image. The blue scalloped square is again made from the blue foam. I LOVE this card! It makes me HAPPY! I may just have to keep it! LOL I hope everyone has enjoyed my "catching up" today, and until my next post....TOODLES!!!

Another bright one with an image from Meljen designs

Hi again! This is my second post for today, and I will be posting another before the day is thru, so I hope you will come back! This card was made using this Meljen's digi stamp, Cuppa Tea. Isn't it too cute? I think I should have chosen a different color for the happy little cup, but maybe next time...On this card I also tried to use my MS loopy corner punch around a circle, and I'm not too sure whether I like the process or not. The edges didn't match when I was done (which bothers the HECK outta me!), but I didn't want to waste what I had done, so I used it on the card. The DP is from Miss Elizabeth's (from the Dollar Tree) and is called Fairytale Princess. I distressed the edges of the DP for some interest. Four hot pink cell phone blings in the corners finished this one off. I didn't add a sentiment to the outside; I will add one inside when I go to use the card. I'll probably end up giving it to my DH for our anniversary or something...what do YOU think? Stay tuned for my next post...TOODLES!!

A bright card using an AmyR sketch and a Tiddly Inks image

Hi all! Long time, no blog, huh? I just get so caught up in reading blogs, that I run out of time to post on my own...stupid dial-up anyway! Since I have off work today, I figured I'd get caught up with my own blog for once.

This card sure is bright, isn't it? I'm not sure what was going on last week, as I have two other cards made using really bright colors too. Anyway, my card was made using Amy Rysavy's Friday sketch from last week, and the Tiddly Inks freebie found here. If you like it, you'd better hurry and snag it, because it will be disappearing after today! I couldn't really find any DP in my collection that would go with how I had colored my image, so I just went with using all CS. I tried to add some interest by using the Swiss Dots EF and inking the edges on the white panels under the matted image. The sentiment is from the Hero Arts clear set Happy Hello. The punch on the yellow is by EK Success, but I forget the name of it. Oh yeah, and the blue scalloped oval is cut from foam. I used that on another card from last week too. Fun stuff! And see what my card is sitting on? I have seen alot of bloggers use those to sit their cards on and really liked the idea. When DH and I were at Goodwill last weekend, I found this one on the shelf...and boy was I excited! As you can see, it came home with me! Hee! Well, I have more "catching up" to do, so look for more from me today! TOODLES!!
