Hello! Today I am sharing the TCP challenge from last week! It seems that a lot of challenges want you to use blue and green (well only two but who's counting). This card was a little harder for me to make than I thought. I had creators block on this one but am pretty happy with the way it turned out. I like having birthday cards that are more geared for men and this one works quite well. Hope you are having a great day so far...don't forget to check out the bubble bin on MFT today there are lots of great deals. www.mftstamps.com

Happy Mothers day and some blog candy for you!

Hello everyone! Today is Mother's day so most importantly I want to wish them all a day where everything goes their way and they are told how much they are appreciated! I don't know where I would be without the love and support of my mother and my grandmothers. Oh and them introducing me to creating which is something I treasure learning from them and doing with them. For the card today! I made this card last week just in the nick of time to get in the mail. I really love this Verve set "Because of You" it is fantastic! I used purples because I thought this could be very elegant when I pictured it in my head. Here you go....

I have to tell you that I just love this stamp! I have so much fun coloring it and it always looks awesome no matter what colors you pick to color it! This stamp is from Pez A Doodle (www.pezadoodle.com). I knew I wanted to use it with the Taylor sketch as soon as I saw it! (www.tayloredexpressions.blogspot.com). I also used the card to participate in the Way's to Use it challenge. I love this challenge each week. I have been playing the last three weeks and it really stretches me creatively. I really hope you like this card! My good no I mean GREAT friend Kim let me use some buttons for the bottom. These buttons are a must have in every color (lasting impressions). Hope you have a wonderful weekend! Don't forget to try out Jen's challenge today. http://www.iheart2stamp.com/ .

Hello everyone! It's FRIDAY!!!!!!!!!!! Hope you all had a great week! I gave my creativity a major rest this week and am ready to create again! I like taking a little time off it actually helps me get more inspired when I return to it. The card I am sharing today was made for the Bella Release challenge. You were challenged to use green, coral, and black. I wasn't sure about the color combo at first but really like the way it turned out. Hope you like it! Don't forget to check out Taylor's sketch today (http://www.tayloredexpressions.blogspot.com/) and Hanna Stamps should have one on their splitcoasts group.

Hope you have a wonderful weekend!

Hello! It's Thursday and that means ... the weekend is almost here! Did any of you get a chance to check out the new releases from MFT? They have four and they are fantastic! http://www.mftstamps.com/. Today I am sharing a card I made a couple of weeks ago for a Verve challenge. I tried a new sketch with this one and really enjoyed using some softer colors!

Hope you have a great Thursday!
