Friend's with Flair and a challenge

I just love Friend's with Flair.  Here is a card I made using a couple different stamp sets.  The flower came from the Eco Chic collection and the sentiment came from Something Within collection.

 

As inspiration, I used the card sketch from Paper Players.  It really is a great sketch and really worked well what I was wanting to create.

 

 

I crochet this flower a while ago along with the leaf.  You are not going to believe this, but I made them while walking on the treadmill!

 

Thanks for looking and I have a great springy day!

Where the Wild Things Are....Shoes

My daughter saw a post on pinterest about a pair of shoes with Where the Wild Things Are painted on them, so she decided to try to make a pair for herself.  She decided to try on an old pair of shoes from last year.  Here is how they turned out!

 

 

 

I will be honest and say that when she showed them to me, I was shocked!  I never expected them to turn out as cute as they did.  Here is a close up of the right foot.

 



 

And here is the left.

 

She has received several compliments on them and yes, I am a proud mama.  hahaha

Friends with Flair Friday!!!

YEAH!!!!  It is Friday and means it is time for Unity's Friend's with Flair.  Last week was a great week and I so enjoyed seeing what everyone created.  This week, I made a card for my friend at school.  I wanted to make something that might cheer her up a little and help her deal with what she is going through.

 

 

I am not very good at shading with copics, so on this card, I used colored pencils to do my shading.  It is so much easier for me.  hahaha

Once again, I had to add one of those little paper flowers.  I am in love with them.  Thanks for stopping by and I sincerely hope you have a great day!

March Card Kit Club

This month, I got to host the card kit club!  I had so much fun putting this kit together and like how it turned out.  This is the first time I have ever tried to do the "chalk board" look.  It was a lot easier than I thought it was going to be.  Anywhere, here is the kit and....

 

Here is the first card that I created.  I got a new die and used it to make the flower.  I used one of the buttons for the center.

This is the second card that I made.  I am not sure I like the way it turned out, but I had to use the little umbrella die that came with the MFT stamps.

 

Thanks for looking and I hope you stop by the other's blogs and leave them a little love.  Have a great day!

Crafty Creations Challenge--Embossing

This week at Crafty Creations, we have an amazing sponsor.  A Day for Daisies has the most amazing digi stamps!  You can truly find a stamp for any occasion, so please check them out.  The winner of this challenge will receive a gift certificate, so they will surely have a good time shopping at A Day for Daisies. 

I always like to look around our sponsors site before we post a challenge,  While I was visiting A Day for Daisies, I found this stamp.  She is called Blessing a Flower and I had to have her.

Anyway, the challenge is to use some sort of embossing on your card or use paper that already is embossed.  Here is the card I created.  I was going for serenity while making this card because sometimes our days get so busy that we just need to escape.

 

 

 

 

I am really looking forward to seeing what everyone creates!   Thanks for stopping by and I sincerely hope you have a great day!

Friends with Flair Friday!!!

Good morning Friends with Flair!!!



 

I always love Friday's and Unity's Friends with Flair.  I do apologize for not getting to pop around everyone's blogs last week to leave a comment and promise to do better this weekend.  You know how some weekends are just crazy!

 

Anyway, here is the card I made using the Shine On set of stamps.  It has been one of my favorites and I love the sentiments that accompany it.  Thanks Unity for always making just great sets!!!

 

 

I am in love with these little paper flowers.  My friend Beth, introduced me to them and now I just can't get enough!

Thanks for stopping by and have a great day!!!
