It's been a while........

Yup, it's been a long time! I decided to participate with a card drive called "Cards from the Heart Card Drive". It's a Valentine card drive for kids in hospitals, foster homes, and special ed classes. Last year they collected 3000 cards to send out to the kiddos...cool, huh?!? So here is my first one I made today, from the Purple Onion Designs stamp company......cute little guy, isn't he!?!

Design

So, just a little bit about some groovy things I've discovered recently that I wanted to share!  I fell in love with this typography banner I picked up at The Porch and Atelier in Buffalo!  Also, I had grabbed this singer sewing machine base at Junk Bonanza this summer.....my grandma had one just like it....anyhoo, I really wasn't sure what to do with it.  I discovered this groovy wall hanging at Second Hand Rose, also in Buffalo, and couldn't pass it up as a topper for my base.  How bout that distressed wood and hardware!?!  Nothin quite like it.  A little break from craftin stuff.........

Cheese Factor

Well, the cheese factor is pretty high on this one!  This week's SPARKS challenge at Paper Smooches is a trend watch pic!

So,I thought,how fun would it be to have a chubby chum take your picture?!?  Say Cheese!  A cow....cheese.....huh!!  LOL!  How bout that fancy lens on his camera?  

  Smile!!!

I am lucky enough to have amazing friends......so blessed.  For this card I used one of my favorite stamps from Stamping Bella, some groovy craft paper, cut out some hearts with my CrICuT, used my fabulous CopiC Markers, glitter pen, and here she is.......  Just a silly post for the morning....now it's time for me to go n git my Christmas DeCorAtinG ONNNNNNN!  Have a great day FrIEndS!

Picture Perfect

Smooches!  This week's Paper Smooches Stamps SPARKS challenge is a picture.......

 

It's pretty basic, but I LOVE the chevron stripe.   I used one of the free digi stamps available on their blog, and enhanced it with one of my gel glitter pens......Have a great day lovies!

Pretty In Pink, Isn't She, Pretty In Pink, Isn't She!?! Oh I love 80's Molly Ringwald movies. She's the inspiration for this card.......Pretty In Pink is probably my Fav. This is my submission for the Farm Fresh Friday Fav Movie Challenge from The Greeting Farm!

Everyone knows I'm a dog lover....and cats aren't realllllly my thing, but this sentiment is too stinkin clever to be ignored!  Here's my contribution to this weeks challenge:

 

It's maybe not PuRrFecT, but I love the color combo and that fat n sassy feline!
