I got some time and wanted to post this fun card that I made for the Unity KOTM challenge. All the stamps are from the February KOTM (I think for 2009, but not sure).

Here is a close up of the wings, they are very shimmery.

You can see the shimmer so much better in the close up shot. Have a fabulous day!

It's a good life!

School Time

Well I am back with another one today LOL! Isn't that crazy, a huge drought and then two in one day. This is super fun. Okay, I am not sure how I found this great challnege, but here it is Unity KOTM Sketch Challenge . Okay you get to pick out a free KOTM and 100 free Unity stamps as well, can you say CRAZY FUN???? Here is my take on the sketch.

It opens up, so I took another picture without me holding it shut.

I am planning on giving this to Izzy's new teacher for the new pre school year. It really turned out perfect for that. All of the stamps are from the August KOTM, not sure from what year, but not this one LOL! I stamped the trees right onto the blue paper and then colored it with my copic markers. I also added a little glitter gel pen to add a pop of fun with the bell in the school house.

It's a good life!

WAHOOOOO!

I had to share a card tonight because I am so excited. I just got another card accepted by Papercrafts Magazine. Isn't that fabulous!
I used shimmer paint on this beauty. I am super tired and have a class all day tomorrow, so I am going to let you go.

It's a good life!

Twine CAS

I adore CAS cards. I don't know about you, but if I can make a cutie that is also time efficient, it makes my day. I found a site called simplicity a while ago and have just now been able to play along. This weeks was to make a one sheet wonder card using yellow. Here is my card
I also busted out some bakers twine for this challenge on Wee Memories. How fun is this cutie. All of the products are either unsed before or barely used LOL! I have had this chocolate twine for a while and it was still in the bag. The stamp set I got in November and am just now busting out this cutie well. The shadow is made with a versa mark pen. Another ignored product. Although I do love buttons, I haven't purchased many SU because I have all of the PTI. Low and behold I just got some in December and as I suspected, I adore them. Hopefully I will be adding to that collection soon.

It's a good life!

Dreams

Courage. Well as we start a new year, I am reflecting on a lot right now. Hopefully I will have some new goals to share here. Isn't it nice to share somewehre and put things in writing. It is usually so more likely to happen when it is in writing.
Isn't this card great. It does take courage to dream and set goals. It also takes a lot to share with others so that you are accountable and even a little vulnerable. I would love to hear your goals if you are willing to share. Hope you have a great new year!

It's a good life!

Still on the fabulous kick, LOL!

Okay this is a card I did back in October and haven't shared here yet. I love the fun pops of black and the glimmer. Unfortunately, I have been in major mass producing mode around here. I have half of my Christmas cards done. What????? Did I write that correctly? Is it really the 22nd and I am only half done with none mailed yet. Why yes, yes I am LOL! Okay my for my own accountability.... today I will
1. Get the Christmas cards done
2. Get 3 more of my Birthday calendars done
3. Get the 20 thank yous from the Christmas Pagent done
4. Make goodies for co-workers
5. Work on my GKD Stamp TV challenge cards (this is only if I am not dead by bible study Christmas party time, LOL!

Isn't that fun? Here is a close up so you can see the shimmer and glimmer LOL!
Okay I heat embossed with irrodecent ice and then stamped in back. I added the ribbon for extra punch. Hope you are all much further along in your Christmas making adventrues than I am.

It's a good life!

You are fabulous!

If there ever was a season where women need to hear this message it is now LOL!
As I was up late finishing all of our wrapping, I decided that women are fabulous! Really we all knew this already, but there it is anyway LOL! Hope you are all taking sometime to enjoy the season with loved ones. This beauty has stamps from Ippity. This is a fun company and I can't wait to get some more rubber to play with. Love the bright colors here. The flowers are from Sassafrass. The season has me into finding ways to make stinking cute quick cards LOL! Have a great one.

It's a good life!

Fabulous!

I really got into the WCMD challenges and I have a few more cards from that time to share with you. This was one of my 21 cards made with the same Ippity Unity set. Isn't that wild! It does have me thinking about my stamping arsenol in a different way.
I have really been digging layering the Mat stack dies from PTI. They all work so well together and it really makes my life easier. Actually my big shot and PTI dies are the work horse of my stamping room right now. I LOVE them!!!!

Hope you have a great Thanksgiving if I don't get back here before that. I have 100 Christmas cards in the process and a lot of fun projects as well, so I need to get to it.

It's a good life!

Fabulous teacher

This was a fun flip card I made for a split coast challenge. I hadn't made one of those in such a long time. It was actually fun and turned out kind of neat.
Here is the back of the card when it flips out
Isn't that flower a fun touch? I really liked how this beauty turned out.

It's a good life!
Terri E.

Fabulous!

I made this little cutie for a WCMD challenge and haven't been able to share it here yet.
Hope you like it. I adore PTI felt. It is a new love of mine. Also, their fresh linen buttons make me smile as well. Hope you have time for crafting today.

It's a good life!

Flying fall birthday

Well it is challenge central here at our home. For this one, I used the color throwdown challenge and the sketch from clean and simple

Here is the falling leaves pop up element

Here is my handwritten sentiment

Since I am a blogging slacker, this was supposed to go up 3 weeks ago LOL! Needless to say these challenges are all gone, hopefully you will still find something fun here.

I then scored with a score pal to add some fun interest. I colored the you in rich razzleberry marker, the hearts are all in pumpkin pie and the should is in old olive. Tons of fun for this card.

CPS sketch time!

It is time for some CPS sketch fun. We just got back from our Disney vacation and it was sure a lot of fun for us. Here is the sketch for the week.
Here is my card

I combined this with two challenges from SPC. The first was from Unity to stamp on fabric. I chose to stamp on twill. I hadn't done this in I don't know how long, so it felt good. The second was to make a card that had a lot of flowers. This is for the SCS Hope You Can Cling challenge for WCMD and Breast Cancer patients. Super fun. I am going to warn all of you great bloggers out there that I am working on making all 23 Unity challenge cards, which means you are going to be seeing tons of the same set. It has actually been a lot of fun to challenge myself to get super creative with one stamp set.

It's a good life!

This fun card was for a sweet sunday sketch and a few world card making day challenges. The fun just keeps on going! I did the untity challenge to make a shaker card and Ellen Hudson's challenge to Glitz it up.
Here is my card

Can you see the shaker part? Well for this one my plan was to use dazzling diamonds, but I am almost out, so I had to improvise. I busted out the irrodecent ice. It worked just the same, which was tons of fun.

I hadn't made a shaker in quite some time, but it was a good time. Love the ribbon as well and the dsp was from the spring mini catalog. It has all kinds of bright colors, but I like I can also do this type of color scheme as well.

It's a good life!

Here is my card

These colors are fabulous! I did some paper piercing with the leaves in old olive. There is tons of spounging on this beauty, which really looks better in real life. I will have more later!
