Cards for the I Care Card Ministry

A couple of week ago I received a message from Janita Taylor asking if I would like to apart of her church's card ministry. I loved the idea of this, it is something that I have wanted to do for a while and was very excited to participate in this new ministry.
She has a video on her YouTube channel sharing all the details of her ministry that you check out here if you would like :)

Here are the cards that I have created:

The first five cards are made  using the  Meadow Greens Papertrey Ink stamp. I have used Simon Says Stamp ink to stamp the flowers and leaves and Distress ink around the edge of the card. The sentiments are from a Scrappy Moms, Impression Obsession and the Meadow Greens stamp sets.

  

 The next three cards are made using the Sweet Life stamp set from Papertrey Ink and the sentiment is from the Think Big Favorites #3. The flowers are stamped with Simon Says Stamp ink and I used Memento Tuxedo black ink for the sentiment.

This last fun card is made using the Lawn Fawn, Flying By stamp set and the Hero Arts stamp set The Sky's The Limit for the clouds. The clouds are stamped with Simons Says Stamp ink and the air planes and the sentiment are stamped with Memento Tuxedo black ink.

I hope the cards arrive safely and quickly and if you have any questions about this ministry please see Janita Taylor's video for more information. (the link for the video is above)

My First Christmas Card for 2014

I am really getting excited about Christmas, I have been listening to Christmas music for a little while now and I have begun to pull out a couple of our decorations!

Over the past couple of weeks I have been thinking of Christmas card layouts and Sunday I had the chance to spend some time at my desk creating them!! I made two Christmas cards on Sunday and yesterday and today I edited the video for the first card I made :)

Here is the video that I shared on my YouTube channel:

If you have the chance to watch my video, I would love to know what you think of my voice over/new format of my videos. The beginning was a little rushed but the rest I thought went ok... If you could leave a comment in the comment section below that would be great!



I am really happy with how this card turned out and I really love that Hero Arts background stamp!!! I have some more cards in mind for that background stamp coming soon :)

Cute Rainbow and Sunshine Cards

Last Thursday I was sitting at my desk looking at the rainbow card I had made using my new Hero Arts stamp set "The Sky's the Limit" and I started thinking about all the cute cards I could make using the fun clouds that came in that stamp set.
I started pulling out stamp sets with cute and fun images and I decided to use one of my favourites from PaperTrey Ink,  Heart-to-Heart #6.




Here is a video I posted to my YouTube Channel last night sharing the process of how I created my latest card:

The inside :)

I loved the little yellow hearts so much I decided to embellish my first card with them too:

Every once and a while my boys love coming down into my craft room to create something fun. Today was that kind of day for Bobby.
About two weeks ago he had the flu and missed some fun Halloween activities and a costume party. On of his good friends dropped off some cupcakes for him from his party, so Bobby wanted to make him a thank you card!!

I cut this little cupcake from my Straight From the Nest Cricut cartridge, I cut out the blue and the white paper and then he did everything else!
The sentiment is stamped from the Sweetest Cupcake stamp set from My Pink Stamper and to finish everything of he chose to pop up the cupcake with some foam dots!!

Well I hope that you are having a happy Monday...

A Cute Card

Hello and Happy Monday!! I hope you had a great weekend, for me  it was a fun weekend full of murder and mystery...lol

A good friend of mine hosted a murder mystery night.  Mike and I went as Princess Rapunzel and  Hantzel. We were characters from the enchanted kingdom and we were at a ball hosted by Prince Charming to hear him announce his intended bride. The evening took a turn when Snow White the chosen princesses dropped dead... murdered!!! lol

 The evening was a lot f fun and by the end of the evening we had figured out who had committed the horrific act...lol
Here is Mike and I all dressed up for the ball:

Last week I shared a small haul I bought from my local scrapbook store, and one of the new stamp sets that I got that day was a Hero Arts set called "The Sky's the Limit"

Today I had the chance to pull it out and create a card with and this is what I made:

I used some Simon Says Stamp ink for the clouds, Sea Glass and Surf  blue. The rainbow was coloured in using my Spectrum Noir markers and then I fussy cut it out and popped it up with some pop dots.

The sentiment is from that stamp set too.

I love how this card turned out and I have several more ideas in mind for this stamp set!! I hope that you're having a great Monday...

Thanks for Stopping by,

A Small Haul and a Kids Craft

Today I decided to stop by my local scrapbook store to find out they are going out of business.  I feel so sad because that will only leave Michael's left for crafty shopping. :(

While I was there, I decided to buy some things and stock up on others (12x12 chipboard), with the scrapbook store closing, I thought I should get some while I could...lol

Here's what I got:

I was really excited to get this Hero Arts stamp set 'Sky's the Limit." I broke it out and used it this afternoon.

Tomorrow at Kidz Club at out church, we are learning about Noah's obedience to God. For our craft it was suggested we use a rainbow somewhere in our craft so I decided to make a bookmark that the girls could decorate, using the rainbow from my new stamp set. I know that they have a lot of reading to do from school, so I thought that this would be a craft that would be really useful as well :)

I made the bookmark with a tag cut from the Tags, Bags, Boxes and More 2 Cricut cartridge and elongated the tag using my Gypsy. The rainbow is from my new stamp set Sky's the Limit and the little stars are from a Papertrey Ink stamp set O'Tannenbaum.

The wool will be for the tassel at the top :)

I just thought I would share this cute picture of my dog Marlie, she decided to follow the sun around all afternoon. By this point she was not looking so comfortable...lol

I hope you have a great night!!
