Count Your Blessings

Yay - it's Friday!!!  Yippee!!!  For me, that means pizza night :D  My new favorite at Round Table Pizza is their BBQ Chicken Pizza.  It's gotta be regular crust, not thin.  We tried that one time and found out that we needed a fork and knife to eat it because it would just collapse and drip all over the place...  Why Round Table you ask?  Because my #1 son works there, of course!  I really do like it though - yummmmmmm.  My mouth is watering just thinking about it!  What is your favorite kind of pizza?

Candy?  Who said anything about candy!  Well, I'm just saying... I know something - hee hee!  Keep on the lookout... you definitely do not want to miss out!

Did you know that it's a Fairy Fun Friday?  Yes, today is a new challenge!  Grab your fav Prairie Fairy image and create away!!!  My card for today features "Too Sweet" by the lovely Prairie Fairy, Roberta!  I've used her fab sketch, but I rotated it...I hope that I have captured the sweetness of her design!!!

I've used my fav copics
skin - E000 E00 E21 E11 R20
hair - Y11 Y21 E97 E99
dress - B000 B00 B02 B05
flowers - R10 R11 R34
leaves - G21 YG63 YG
wings - detailed with gold spica, covered with pixie dust shimmerz
Printed out digi paper... I'll have to find where I got this!  MS eyelet lace punch, nesties, a very old corner punch, pearls, ribbon, charm from stash

 

Here is a great shot of me coloring out of the lines!!!

 

Here's the charm I chose to add... awww...

So, you want my honest opinion?  I kinda ran out of time... I would have liked to add the sentiment that said, "Count Your Blessings Not Your Problems"  Maybe I'll have time in the next day or two and if I do a new and improved version, I'll post a second one and you can vote : )

I will have another post for you later today because it's also a Fussy and Fancy Friday!  Whoo Hoo!  Head on over and check it out.  But first, go see Roberta and check out the challenge at Fairy Fun Fridays! :D

See you soon!

May God bless you, keep you and comfort your soul ~

Get Well, My Friend!

At last!  My computer is working!  This time it wasn't really my computer, but my son was downloading a game which takes up all the bandwidth or some mumbo jumbo like that - lol!  All I know is that it was taking forever to load one page, then I'd try to leave a comment on one of your lovely blogs and it just wasn't responding...hmmm... You don't have to tell me twenty-five times that something is fishy!!!  Twenty-four times will do nicely - thank you very much - hee hee!  I've asked him to pause his download so I could post this without pulling my hair out!  I do have the best sons in the world - sorry mom's - I know that your sons are the best too : )

Ok, back on task.  This is my DT card for Copic Buzz Challenge #27.  I've followed the fab sketch for this week.  The lovely, Michelle Perkett is sponsoring us.  She has some amazingly beautiful images in her etsy shop which you can find Here.  Michelle also has a group on Papercraft Planet that she would love you to join!  When you're done, why not join us at Copic Buzz Challenge?

 This is Butterfly Fairy.  Isn't she sweet?  She has an array of butterflies surrounding her.  If you look closely (kinda like where's waldo!) you can even see a butterfly in the dp : )
All paper is from Joanne's, but the name has been cut off, so I don't know the name (sorry!)

Until next time, my friends ~

Purple-iscious Gift Card Holder and Purse

Greetings ya'll!!!  Have you heard the latest terminology (well, it's probably old already...but it's new to me!)?  As we blog hop and surf the web, we are actually blurfing!  Yes, that's right, it sounds like something my sons came up with - lol!  But I think that they would reference 'barfing' somewhere in there...   Oh well, whatever we call it - girls just wanna have fu-un!!!  Go ahead, I know you want to - hee hee... sing it, baby!

Today's project gave me one problem after another.  You know what I mean - some days things are effortless and come together so well, then there are those other days, grrrrr!  I mean really, how can such a little piece of paper have such power over me - ha ha!  Well, I am here to tell ya that I won :D  I do like the finished product.  It reminds me so much of my sister.  She loves purple!  I just may have to 'surprise' her with it : )  The only thing would be if she sees this post before I get a chance to give it to her!

This 'clean and simple' gift card holder features Prairie Fairy's Digi Coneflower which you can find in her Bugs n Blooms line.  I kept it simple so that it would fit nicely in the coordinating purse.  Oh so sweet!

Colored with Copics, highlighted with white Sharpie

Digi paper from Gina Jane Cottage Roses

Buttons and embroidery thread from stash

Here's the inside which features a corner pocket which is perfect for 'hiding' a gift card, money, even a packet of hot chocolate or cider!  Digi paper is from the same collection (Gina Jane Cottage Roses).  Lace punch is MS.


The purse is called Perfect Purse from Gina K's Perfect Patterns designed by Carolyn King.  You can find it Here.

I used a coordinating paper on the inside of the strap (hard to see here).  Stitched the front and back together and punched the eyelet lace with MS punch.  Can you see the butterfly charm and purple bead?  I added this to the ribbon tied in a knot which I placed through the silver eyelet.

Here's the back side

After all my whining, I really did enjoy this project - lol!  I might even make a few more...now that all the kinks have been worked through!  Thanks for taking a peek : )

Before you go, I want to encourage you to head on over to Fairy Fun Fridays Challenge.  Why not join us this week?

May God bless you, keep you and comfort your soul ~

So here's my card.  Edited to add the sentiment by Stampin Up! and Lattice border from Spellbinders.  I hope you like it cause I put my love into it!!!

Blog Candy Alert!

Hello my friends!  Well, you may be glad to know that I've already gone to the gym and had my decaf coffee with French Vanilla.  I didn't even have to reheat it once - I know, amazing, huh?  The only reason I was able to drink it without it getting cold is because I sat on the couch, not my craft desk - lol!  Today my DH is home and it's a laid back day.  Gray and raining here.  Another cozy up day, but I'm itchin to get out my copics!  Later, we're having nachos - yum!  I haven't had those in forevah... So, we sent our son out to get a few ingredients we didn't have - well, he's young and doesn't get as cold as me!!!  He is such a fantastic son, I'm so blessed : D

Have you heard about the blog candy that ABC Toys and Crafts is having?  There are three MS punches up for grabs!

I just purchased the eyelet lace set, so I chose this set as the one I'd like to win :D  Go Here to enter for a chance to win one of these great punch sets!  Also the store is having a sale:  15% off Martha Stewart products until January 22.  Hurry on over and check it out!

It's Time for a Tea Party!

Hey... just me again.  As I was contemplating what I wanted to say for this post, my nose, which is now numb from being too cold,  was just too distracting.  All I could think of was 'I'm cold!'  Ok... so what else is new?  What I'm about to tell you is a little embarrassing, but it's just so me, I decided to risk the gasps from you, my friends - hee hee!  Do you remember the cup of hot cocoa I was going to have with my blankie and doggie?  Well, I have just reheated that same cup I had earlier today.  I never even had a sip...  One day, my hubby asked me what I was making (referring to food).  I told him I was heating up my hot cocoa... His response? 'How many times?' LOL!  I had reheated it so many times I lost count!!!

I just had my last swallow, so it's time we go from hot chocolate to tea.  I now have the pleasure of introducing you to 'Tea Party' by Roberta at Prairie Fairy Digital Stamps.

I used the fab sketch from Fairy Fun Fridays - Challenge 2.  My image is a little bigger than I thought, so I don't have all of the elements on the sketch, but I followed as closely as possible for this card.

Love that glitter and shine : )

Here are the deets:
Copics, pink and brown Spica pens
Diamond Glaze on wings, snail's shell and mushroom

Four hours left to enter my 'Surprise' Candy... tick tock...  Winner will be announced Saturday, Jan. 16!

Sending big hugs and lots of love your way!

May God bless you, keep you and comfort your soul ~

Baby It's Still Cold Outside!

Have you been able to warm up yet?  It's cold in my house!  I love to get cozy under the blanket with my fur baby.  He is much better than a heater, ya know?  It's gray outside and I haven't ventured much further than my sofa today - lol!  I have my cup of hot cocoa, my laptop warming up my legs and my baby, Sammy, by my side.  Can you say 'contentment'?

I'm a bit late on my post today for Fussy and Fancy Friday Challenge...  Have you already popped over to the blog to see the latest challenge?  As you can see, it's all about Winter - brrrrrrr!  So here's my DT card for this week's challenge.  We got to play with Stampinsanity digis this week - yay!!!  This image is called Henry's Snowman.  But as you can see, I've turned Henry into Henrietta - hee hee!  The sentiment just called for pink - and even though males are wearing pink these days, I still see her as Henrietta : )

Prairie Fairy for Boys?

Hi everyone!  The weekend is fast approaching and I am looking forward to getting some serious crafting done!  Of course, that's what I always think... something usually happens that requires my attention and then I end up doing that instead.  But this time, I really plan on getting a few projects done - lol!

Besides the Christmas tree still being up (what???) there isn't anything pressing.  The dust will still be there when I'm ready - hee hee!  The vacuum cleaner wants the week off anyway : )

So, is Prairie Fairy Digital Stamps just for girls?  I'm so glad you asked that question!  The answer is no...  Here is my Prairie Fairy DT card which I made for my nephew.

This is one of Roberta's images from her Snips 'n' Snails line.  You'll find other great images at the Prairie Fairy Digital Store which are good for boys as well!  Go take a peek and give Roberta some well deserved love - she's been working so hard for us...

I've entered this card into the following challenges:  Susie's Sassy Challenge,  Copic Colour Challenge

Digital Tuesday

Details:

Image is colored with Copics and a few highlights added with white Sharpie pen.

Glasses are filled with Diamond Glaze and Stickles added around the rim.  I cut them out and used pop dots so they would really stand out.  What do you think?  Spectacular?  lol...

Music notes Cuttlebug EF and circles nesties for background

Quickutz tag cut out and buttons with embroidery thread added for dimension

Paper from Scrap Girls - digital

Sentiment printed from computer

"screws" and buttons from stash

Catch the Bug Challenge!

Another new challenge?  Why yes!!!  Bugaboo Stamps has a new challenge blog called Catch the Bug.  I just discovered the freebie today which was provided to join in the challenge.  Do I not have enough to fill my day and things to get done?  Well... but this was FUN : )  So here is my very quickie card I entered tonight:

This is the bunny which was up for grabs.  If I am not mistaken, there will be a new freebie on Fridays - yippee!  Please hop on over to Bugaboo Stamps and see what cuteness Jodie has waiting for you!

Prairie Fairy Grand Opening!!!

Happy Saturday everyone!  The days have been flying by - again - lol!  Why does it seem like the older I get the faster the weeks go by?  Does anyone have the answer to this ancient question?  Huh, huh?  As I look at the clock, it is almost 1:30 a.m.  I'm tellin ya that it's like I just got home and now it's time to go to bed already - yikes!!!  I have to get up early in the morning.  Hey!  I know... those of you that know me know that I am not a morning person - but I have to be at my mom's house by 10:00 a.m.  What time do you get up?  I console myself by saying, "self, you are not the only person in the world who doesn't get up at 6:00 a.m."  Please tell me that there are some of you out there who are not morning people!  I really am trying to go to bed earlier though.  AND... I have been going to the gym - yay!  AND... I have not been overdoing it - I'm not even sore :D  One thing at a time...

My New Tilda!

Good morning, my sweet friends!  I have decided that I am going back to the gym.  No... really... I am!  Now why are you laughing?  I know that I've said that too often in the past with no action... but honestly, I'm gonna do it this time -hee hee!  I have a very good friend who will keep me accountable.  She is the reason why I started going to the gym in the first place.  And here is my reason why I stopped:  surgery (twice).  But now that I've had sufficient time to recover, I'm good to go --- so, here I go!!!  Pray that I won't overdo it or pull or push something that shouldn't be pulled or pushed...

Today I have a sweet and very simple card to show ya.  I used one of my new Tilda stamps!  This is my very first Magnolia post (I know... can you believe it?).  It's time for me to move into the 21st Century where Tilda is alive and well - lol!

Happy, Happy New Year!!!  It's a wonderful new beginning to 2010!

I'm off soon to see the movie Alvin and the Chipmunks - hee hee!  I just love those little fellas : )  I hear that it's even better than the first movie.  Last night I saw It's Complicated.  A very entertaining movie!  I love Meryl Streep.  Did you see Julie & Julia?  That was the only movie I saw 3 times - lol!  It is the BEST feel good movie in my opinion.

Charisma Cardz Challenge - Celebrations
Creative Card Crew - Anything goes

Cupcake Craft Challenges - Celebrations

Madelyn is colored with... you know it... my fav copics!  Stardust stickles with pink spica accents on her wings, bow, belt and sleeves.  Nesties for circles and scallops.  I finally used my new flourish punch which many of you have been "raving" about - hee hee!  I added gems to these as well as the center of the flowers which I made with my MS hydrangea punch I received in a candy (thanks again Suzanne!!!).

Do you love bling as much as I do???  I love it with a capital B - L - ing!!! - LOL!  So there you go.. it all comes together with the Pink and Black DT theme of Fussy and Fancy Friday Challenge.  Have you entered yet?  We're waiting to see YOUR beautiful creations!
