First video and WOW!!!

Holy smokes bat man, videos are really hard to do.  Okay it isn't hard to press play, but to do it right and have a good card you are happy with, WOW!!!!  Then the uploading to you tube, who knew?  I haven't decided if I will do it again, but I'm glad I have it tackled once.

So here is the video.  Izzy was my videographer and it was definitely a challenge.  

This was for the MIM challenge from PTI.  A fun one.

It's a good life!

Ellen Hudson Mix it up challenge

There is a fun challenge over at Ellen Hudson's blog that is called Mix it up challenge and they are mixing Essentials by Ellen and Pretty Pink Posh.  Here is my card.  I used wink of stella on the die cut to mimic the glitter paper below.  I used some Pretty Pink Posh clear droplets to complete the card.  

I really like how this one turned out.

Also entering this in the NBUS challenge found here.  The die and clear droplets have never been used before.  I have had this die for quite some time.  It feels good to bust out some older items!





It's a good life!

MIM Ombre Stenciled Backgrounds

Well I had some time to play with the challenge this week.  I really liked the ombre stenciled video Betsy did for the MIM.   I was so glad I ordered her stensils!  I have another card that I made after this one that I like a lot as well, but it wasn't ready to be photographed yet.  It will be on the blog soon :)

This will also be entered into the NBUS challenge found here.  This card had a lot of nbus items.  The stencil and word die are new along with the sequins that I have had for a long time, but just busted into now.  

Have a blessed day!

It's a good life!

Paper Smooches Fun and Cute challenge

I am excited to be able to participate in the Paper Smooches fun and cute challenge.  It has been an odd week for our family.  Izzy had the flu the first two days, I had it Wed, Thursday and today Cece has it.  It seems to go through quick, but it has me home the whole week instead of at work.  Odd, but I have had some creating time with the girls, so that has been really fun.

This is a new to us set that we ordered during Paper Smooches anniversary.  The girls LOVE all of the images and they are really into coloring, so it worked for our family.  Cece picked the unicorn stamp set Spectrum.  I added the rainbow die and the sentiment is from luminous spring.

 I wanted to try and get a close up of the glitter and dimension.  It was hard to see in the first photo.  I think this will end up going to Cece.  I really enjoy sending the girls mail.  It makes their whole day and they get a kick out of having something to open from the mail box.

My next mission is going to be making something for my nieces.  We live in the same town, so sometimes we forget to send them love mail, but they would love it too!

It's a good life!

Blog hop winner!!!!

So I have to share my excitement and glee here!  Very few people would understand my joy over this!  I was one of the random winners of the blog hop.  How fun is that?

I was asked what stamp sets I used.  I am so behind in the blogging world I didn't even think to include that.  The flowers were from the PTI stamp set Friends til the End and the sentiment is from a new Paper Smooches stamp set called Fun and Flirty.  It was free with an order of $60 or more and it is fantastic!

Thanks for sharing in my excitement!

It's a good life!

PTI Blog Hop Feb 2016

Today is PTI monthly blog hop!  It was awesome to be able to join.  Life has been busy, there is nothing like a sickness to bring you home and slow you down.  It has been an interesting week, but we have had some creating time.  I liked the pink and green and the big flower in this picture.  

I created two cards.  This was my second, but ended up that we liked it the best.  I loved the sentiment and the way it popped.  This was done by embossing the flower and then using the distress ink to color and blend.  

The was my first card.  It look so much better in real life.  The sentiment is hard to see in this picture, but in real life it is beautiful.  This was done with heat embossing and some water coloring.  Getting the water colors out was a great thing this week with the kiddos.

I can't wait to hop around today.  This evening I have an OIL 101 class to host with young living oils.  I do think that we got over the flu much quicker with the oils.

It's a good life!

Izzy is loving her creating time!

This is Izzy's paper smooches challenge card.  She is so fun to have around and up in the stamping room.  She is really big into using her creativity which I love!  She won best of show in 3rd grade at the fine arts festival and I couldn't be prouder of her.  She was home with the flu and we have both had more time to create.  She has another card to enter and I got one done as well, but we will need to take the picture tomorrow.  Have a great night!

It's a good life!
