Cosmo Cricket's blog is hosting a fun challenge. The challenge requires the use of either using papers from "Mitten Weather", or "Jolly By Golly" paper lines. I made a really fun picture frame using the "Jolly By Golly" paper line. The photo is my grandson seeing snow for the first time at age 1 1/2, doesn't my son look sooo excited-LOL!

Where did the summer go?

So, for those of you who may still be out there-but have given up on me........
I am still alive and well, a little crazy-but that's life (at least mine)! :)

So, a little update is in order-
I have been very busy creating cards and getting ready for a new store here in Redding to open. It is called "Enjoy the store." It is a gift store for local atisans to sell there wares. Artists selling in the store have been hand chosen through a jury selection process. YAHOOO- My cards were chosen. It has been a very long process, but the store is opening this month, soooo, I have been busily creating. I have completed 10 different designs, with a total of 100 cards to be in the store to begin with-hope it all works well for all!

I will posting samples in the next few days for you to see. If you are interested in purchasing them, I am working on an etsy shop, which I hope to have up and running in the next few weeks -so keep your eyes here for that also. (PS>Scrappin' Friends (my scrapbook store-is doing well and is keeping me very busy also teaching classes, etc.). No time for boredom in my corner of the world :)

See you soon-hope this finds all of you well!

Moxie Fab World Challenge: I Want to Ride My Bicycle

Just had to add this cute bicycle that is a sample at Moxie Fab! Just toooooo darn cute! :)

This was a super fun challenge for me, I love to ride my bike and as we live in the country, this pic of the bike reminds me some of my bike (minus the little rack on the back)! Love to pedal down the road to a friends and go through her garden and bring it back home in my little basket (or maybe bring her something from my garden too)!

So back to the challenge (sorry, just a little daydream there)!

The challenge was to use a bicycle in an innovative way-soooo here is my take:

Wednesday Stamp Club - Color Challenge

This week the color challenge from My Favorite Things Wednesday Stamp Club is red, green and yellow.

The inspiration is pulled from this week's VIP collection and challenges us to use the color found in the Ruffled Ribbon Garden Collection.

So, since I love this paper from Cosmo Cricket, I decided to play along. I used one of CC Desings from MFT's "Swiss Pixie Birgitta" stamp, and "Garden Variety" paper from Cosmo Cricket.

My little girl is colored with woodless colored pencils and mineral spirits. She's soooo stinkin cute! This was a very fun challenge-love, love, love the colors!

Have a hap, stamp, happy day!

This card is inspired by Moxie Fab Worlds Trigger Tuesday color challenge

Tuesday Trigger: Mapping Color

So, this is my creation. I used Cosmo Cricket "Material Girl," Papertrey Ink stamp set "Quilters Sampler." I loved the colors in this pillow. What a great inspiration!

WOW-- again, long time no see! Soooo, sorry if you are still out there and trying to see more!! I have decided I need to set at least one day aside for me (which means I get to create only for my pleasure and not the stores)! :)

Sooooo, with that-today was the day for me!!!!!! I made a card for my grandaughters 3rd birthday. Enjoy!!
