Inside it says "your age. Happy Birthday!"

Sweet, glitter buttons figured out LOL!

This is my last card of the day. I finally figured out the glitter buttons, I like it much better when using light colors.

It's a good life!

Glitter button take 2

Okay I had more time today in the stmaping room. Not a ton of time, but enough to get two cards done. I really wanted to do a little more with the glitter buttons.

Here is take 2. I had to take some more goodies off the shelf, here I used the fun products from Dawn that you had to cut out. I really do like them, but I have to force myself to use them. They sit a lot on the shelf unloved :)

It's a good life!

Glitter Button Color Q

Izzy and I are back at it today. We have already folded clothes, done our devotional and now we are up crafting before church. Life is good!

This is a Maile inspired card for the Color Q challenge this week and the Make it Monday challenge to make glitter buttons. I don't have spray adhesive, but it is now on the list LOL! This is my first card made with Maile's set Beautiful Butterflies set. I had to get it for the fabulous sentiments. I am now kicking myself for not getting the dies. Another thing to add to my ever growing list LOL!

It's a good life!

PTI blog hop

I am so glad I was able to play along this month. I am also so happy that I was able to get the zipper movers and shakers, crazy fun!

Hope you have a great night.

It's a good life!

Blog Hop PTI style!

Hello everyone, first let me introduce Izzy. She is my little 5 year old who loves to stamp. Today was a big deal for her because I let her color with my beloved copic markers. It was AWESOME, so she is entering in the blog hop this month LOL!

Here is her card. She colored the butterfly and stamped the sentiment all by herself.

Of course she couldn't wait to tear it open LOL! She also colored all of these other beauties while I was stamping today.

I will be back in a few minutes with mine.

It's a good life!

Simon Says 3 different papers!

I don't know if you have noticed, but I am not a use a bunch of pattern paper on one card kind of girl. Now I am a buy a bunch of paper kind of girl, so when I saw the Simon Says use 3 different papers I knew it was a good challenge for me. I have also been cleaning and organizing my stamp room and I realized I have a bunch of stamp sets I don't use, so I busted out some different fun stamp sets as well.

It's a good life!

My last one today LOL!!!!

Izzy's help with mojo

I love that my Izzy loves to craft. She always says she has tons of ideas and that she never runs out. Well, after 5 cards I did run out of some mojo today. She directed the colors on this one. It was a lot of fun really.

This one is with Butterfly Kisses for my penpal challenge and the CPS sketch found here.

It's a good life!

PTI pal challenge

This is the first of three cards that I made for my PTI pal challenge to use Butterfly Kisses. I haven't busted that one out in a few years. It was a lot of fun playing with it again.

Here is the sketch I used for this one from CPS. I actually made a few cards with this that I am turning in for a publication. This is what I really like about PTI, I still feel like after 5 years their designs are relevant.

It's a good life!

Wishing you peace

What a fun day. Only a few more left, here is the CPS sketch for this one.  I had a hard time with this one for some reason.

It's a good life!
Terri E.

CPS Thank you

I made this one with another CPS sketch. I'm not sure about the size of this ribbon. It feels too small for the card, what do you think?

It's a good life!
Terri E.

CPS - I hate it when you are sad

I am definately not sad thinking about all of the great cards I made today. This is for another great sketch from CPS found here.

What do you think of this color combo? I have been seeing a lot of orange and pink, so I wanted to give it a try.

It's a good life!
Terri E.

Warning.....

This is the first of many posts today. I have 7 more to go, the CPS 5 year challenge is up today and I wanted to do one of each. Here is the link for this sketch.  The butterfly element is also for the Make it Monday challenge this week.

It's a good life!

I have been working away on cards and I am really behind in the CPS sketch challenges! I do have the first two done now and only the last 7ish to go LOL!

Hugs and Kisses PTI

I'm not a big heart kind of stamper, but I have enjoyed making these cards. I think we are going to bust our a lot of fun cards for Izzy's class tonight, nothing like last minute planning.

Here is the inside of this cutie

Have a wonderful night of stamping!

It's a good life!
Terri E.

I heart PTI

Isn't that the truth LOL! I am lucky enough to have a card accepted to the latest papercrats magazine call. The 5th anniversary has also been a lot of fun for me to be a part of. Here is another card I got done for the heart challenge.

We are making tons more cookies for Izzy's class party on Monday.

It's a good life!

PTI Heart Challenge

I was working away in my stamp room and I made this background with left over pattern paper strips. I hadn't done anything with it, but when I saw Nicole's challenge I knew just what to do.

I have a business exppo today, so I'm not sure if I will be back.

It's a good life!

Love is in the air challenge

The simon says challenge this week is all about love in the air. I made this cutie card, which was a lot of fun and will be going to Izzy my little one. She loves aninmals and this pop up card will hit the spot.

Here is a side shot of the depth of the card

Maile's card

I was stoked that Maile picked that card for her favorite. I must admit it is iconic to me as well. To have the liberty to CASE it was really a lot of fun. Ironically I bought the circle border because of this card and this is only my second time using it at all. Hopefully I bust it out again soon.  Here is the list again

I'm not sure if I will be making more tonight, I have a presentation tomorrow and a head ache. 
It's a good life!

Dawn Inspired

As all of you know, I adore Dawn! I loved the card she picked out. It reminded me of this pattern paper that I really don't dig into enough. I know pattern paper on a Dawn card eeek, but I think the over all worked out really well.   Here is the link of all of the creations.

It's a good life!

Buttons, buttons, buttons

This is my last CPS sketch card of the day, but not the last PTI challenge card. This one was inspired by Mish of all people, I know it doesn't look very Mishie, but she made button cards and had a 6th love, buttons. I think it works :)  Here is the link of all of the creations for the day.

It's a good life!
Terri E.

More of the same LOL!

I still have some more, but I am going to post those later today. This one was inspired by Debbie. She is always mixing up her stamps and pattern papper. As I was clicking though her favorites that is what really hit home with me.  You can link your creations here.

I also did another great CPS sketch.

It's a good life!
Terri E.

More PTI/CPS goodness LOL!

For this beauty I was inspired by Danielle. I'm really not a soft color sort of person, but I was totally inspired LOL! I appreciate that Danielle has a soft and girly quality about her stamping that I like.   Here is where you can link your PTI creations.

I used the CPS sketch found here as well. I am trying to keep up with these and so far I am on track.

It's a good life!

Happy CPS/PTI day

My goodness I have been a card making diva today. Randy has been gone for 2 weeks and he got home last night. How perfect that on the first day of PTI festivities I have some time to rock out some cards LOL! 
This is one that I was inspired by Erin. I must say after PTI radio I fell like I know her a little better. She has such a unique way to look at her stamps and pair them together.

For this card I focused on her felt flower and went from there.

I combined this with the CPS sketch found here and also the color throwdown challenge this week. I must after making about 10 cards toady, I LOVE challenges. It give me just the right spark to whip up something fun.

It's a good life!

Heather Inspiration

I made this cutie this morning for the PTI inspired by challenge.  I was inspired by Heather.  I used the kraft, white ink and spring moss ribbon comob.
CPS has a great sketch and they have an anniversay time as well right now, so tons of great sketches over that way. 

I would stay and chat more, but I am looking to get back in craft room.
It's a good life!

I just love February

Because it is PTI's anniversary month! It always means tons of fun challenges, eyecandy and excitement. I made this card for round 2 of the color Q challenge as well. I really wanted to try those colors again. 
This card is inspired by Jess Whitty's creation as well. She is fabulous! I love her inginuity and creativity, oh and she uses a lot of food items and packaging, which is FABULOUS!!!!

It's a good life!

Pen Pal Challenge

Warning.....I am going to be posting a lot in the next few weeks. It is the 5 year anniversay for PTI and they are going to have great challenges that I always like to participate in, so look out LOL!
Anna, who is my papertrey pal and I have challenged ourselves to use some unused and unloved sets. We are hoping to post 2 times a month. For me that will be on the 1st and 3rd weekend of the month. My challenge stamp set was All Booked Up from Papertrey Ink. If any of you know me, I LOVE to read, so this set was a must have. Unfortunately, it remains really unloved. For example, these two stamps were unloved! Well, not any more LOL! Here is my card

I used the Color Q color challenge and then I also busted out some Kraft cardstock and dies, which I got from Lisa's card inspiration.  I also used the CPS sketch this week as well found here, I couldn't tilt the center image, it just doesn't work in my world LOL!
I would also like to thank Lisa for all of her inspiration on her blog.  What I love most about Lisa is her transparancy with her faith and raising her girls.  As a mom of 2 young girls, I really like to see her success in raising grateful children!
It's a good life!

Make it Sunday LOL!

I am loving the Make it Monday serries that Papertrey Ink does. I hope it continutes! My goal this year is to submit to it each week. So far, I haven't missed this year, but I am the champion of Sunday posting LOL! 
This week I combined the Make it Monday challenge with the Less is More chalelnge to use Aqua on a card. I used aqua mist, which is a love color for me. I haven't used the new aqua mist ink much, so great opportunity to try it out.

In all honesty, I'm not sure how I feel about the banner challenge. I am going to have to keep playing with it.

It's a good life!
