Just wanted to share a fun project I made for a contest. The contest was to make a Mother's Day Gift. It was on a wonderful site called Handmade Gifts Made Easy. There are so many gorgeous and inspiring gifts on there for all kinds of events, seasons and holidays! You must check it out! And the owner, Stephanie, well, she is just the sweetest person! I just found out yesterday that I was the 1st place Winner. $100!! Thank you so much again Stephanie! You can see the post HERE.

 I made this sweet Pin Cushion/Photo Holder Teacup for my mom. You can find the detailed directions on how to make it, HERE.

 I had a lot of fun making it and of course, my Mom loved it!! Anything with my kids pics on though, she just adores!

 I also made a Keepsakes Box with a handmade mini photo album for the contest too. You can add pictures to it year after year. You can find the directions on this HERE.

 ♥ I hope you all understand but due to so many entrants in my giveaway and that it is a busy, holiday weekend for me, I will post my winner on Tuesday. I have so many to still go through. And due to the delay in announcing my winner, I will pick another random winner to receive a little something from me as well! ;) Good luck everyone and enjoy your weekend!! Thanks for being patient with me!! hugs...

♥ Simon Says... Father's Day/For a Male! ♥

Father's Day is right around the corner! June 17th will be here before we know it! So why not get a head start on those cards for Dad! You can even make a birthday card or whatever you want as long as it's for a special man in your life! So join this week's challenge at the Simon Says Stamp Challenge Blog and show us your Male cards!!

For my card I used a simple yet fabulous stamp by Inkadinkado called simply "Happy Father's Day"! I just stamped it in Black ink by Memento and then matted the image onto blue and kraft cardstock.

I also used some papers from My Mind's Eye Be Amazing 6x6 Paper Pad. I love the soft, muted yet manly papers in this pad. I finished it off with some hemp twine, Maya Road Star Pin and some Liquid Pearls in Platinum Pearl.

And, don't forget, Heidi will generously give the random winner of this challenge a $50 Credit Voucher to the Simon Says Stamp Superstore! Good luck everyone!

I will have my giveaway winner up here in a couple of days! Thank you to all who joined!! :) Good Luck everyone!!

Hi all! Well, it's time to give some things away, just because. I have to admit though, I was kind of hesitant to hold another giveaway, due to people "disappearing" after the giveaway is over.

New friends (followers) are welcome though!

♥ JustRite....My Final Day! :( ♥

Well, today is my 4th and final day Guest Designing for JustRite! I had a blast using these awesome stamps and I can't wait to use more of them! Have you seen the new ones that are out? They are just as fabulous! Thank you Kellie for giving me this opportunity to GDT for you! JustRite ROCKS!

For today's card, I wanted to do something a bit different to, once again, show you how compatible all the JustRite stamps are and how well they all go together! I made a card using not 1 but 3 different background stamps. I used the Fleuriste Newsprint Background Stamp, Shabby Music Background Stamp and the Elegant Fronds Background Stamp. (To see the full card, please visit the JustRite Inspiration Blog!)

And I paired them all with the gorgeous Botanical Butterflies Clear Set. Have I mentioned before how much I love this set?!! ;)

 I hope you all have a great day! Don't forget to visit me at the JustRite Inspiration Blog! Stop by and say Hi! :) Thank you to all who have all week! I really appreciate it!!

hugs...

♥ JustRite... Day 3! ♥

♥ For today's Simon Says Post, please scroll down! Thank U! ♥

Happy Hump Day! Aren't the weeks and days just going by faster lately? Whew! I better start my Christmas shopping soon! Before we know it, Santa will be coming down the chimney! ;) Speaking of going fast, today is already my 3rd day guest designing for JustRite! Here are some sneaky peeks of today's card! To see the entire card, please stop by the JustRite Inspiration Blog! Say hi, while you're there too! :)

 I used the Oh, so fabulous, Grandma's Attic Background Stamp for this one. Love that stamp!! I first stamped it onto some cream colored cardstock in black ink and then re-stamped it several times in various inks, cut out the dress form, spools and buttons and then re-applied them to the base image.

I also used the gorgeous Vintage Rose Medallions Clear Stamp Set. I just wanted to make a feminine and pretty card and thought the 2 stamps go well together. It just shows how interchangeable all of the JustRite Stamp Sets are!

So, don't forget to stop by the JustRite Inspiration Blog and show some love for me! I would really appreciate it!

I hope you all have the most wonderful day!!

♥ Simon Says...Clean and Simple {CAS} ♥

This week at the Simon Says Stamp Challenge Blog it is all about Clean and Simple. We want to see those cards with not alot of embellies and with minimum papers on it! I must admit though, this was not an easy challenge for me! But it was fun!!

This week the Simon Says DT are featuring stamps by either Lawn Fawn or La La Land. I chose this cute stamp set by Lawn Fawn called "Sew Lovely". Love that sweet dress form, ribbon spool and sentiment.

 I also used some paper by Prima from the Songbird 6x6 Paper Pack as well as a Maya Road chipboard pair of scissors that I painted and then glittered up. Well, I needed to add at least one embellie on there! ;)

This is the inside of the card.

 Here is the adorable Sew Lovely Clear set by Lawn Fawn. So many cute images!

Don't forget, Heidi will generously give the random winner of this challenge a $50 Credit Voucher to the Simon Says Stamp Superstore! Good luck everyone!

Have a great day!!!
