Thank you so much for hopping along with us today!

Well, my 3 year old daughter LOVES working on the cards we make for the kids. Usually we bust out some fun kid joke cards and she then tells everyone the joke we used on the card. Since we just got the new to us airplane set from PTI called Fly Away, she decided we had to use that. I used one of the Verve release week sketches on this beauty. Here is our card
Thank you to Jennifer and everyone behind the scenes who make reaching out to others so easy for my family by putting the Cards for Kids drive together. We don't know a whole lot of really sick children, so this has been a great way for my daughter to minister and show love to other kids. We really enjoy talking about what things would make their day better and what she likes when she dosen't feel well. Such a great opportunity to not only bless other children, but lay some important ground work with our children in a fun and creative way.

Have fun on your hop! Your next stop is the AWESOME Jennifer McGuire.

It's a good life!

What did the bee say to the flower?

CPS has this fun sketch right now and it worked so well for the cards I am making for the Cards for Kids drive. Izzy is really into learning funny jokes right now, so we decided to send some of the silly love to the kids. Here is the CPS sketch
Here is our card

I had to hand write the joke and the punch line is Hello Honey LOL! My daughter thinks that is super funny. She has been spreading this joke around for days now.

To make the bee you need pick a pedal set for the wings and I used a retires set called doodle this from SU. The rest is puch work the head is 1" and the body is 1 3/8" circle punches. I added some bling to the center of the flowers with a 2 way glue pen from su.

I am so out of the habbit of writing good posts and also making cards. I have a few more to share and I need to make qutie a few more thank you cards, so needless to say my skills should be sharpening soon.

It's a good life!

Have you checked out the Stamp TV challenges? If not, you really should. Not only are they tons of fun and 5 days a week, but every challenge they give away a free stamp set to a random winner. Can you beleive how generous Gina K is??? All you have to do is stamp and you have the chance to win some great sets. LOVE IT!!!!! Okay enough gooshing LOL, here is the sketch for the last week.
Here is my card.

Isn't that little monkey the cutest? I colored him in on GKD pure luxury 80lb cardstock. I am still learning my copics, but it is getting a little easier to work with them the more I do it. There is hope for the average colorer LOL! I used floss for the balloon strings and it really seems to add some dimension.

The fun polkadot ribbon is from PTI, the stiching just seemed to tie everything in. This is one of my 8 cards going to the cards for kids drive. I think I am going to be missing the Jan drive, but it is on going, so hopefully I can hit next months group and send them some fun valentines day cards.

In the midst of all of this, I realized I haven't made Izzy's or my hubbys cards yet. I need to get on that quickly. I am done with their shopping, but still need some goodies.

It's a good life!

Wool you be mine?

It's that time again! I haven't been able to play with the blog hop for a few months, but I am so excited to have something to share tonight.
The challenge was to create a card that was decorated on the inside and out. I usually stamp a sentiment on the inside, so this was fun to take it a step further with some decorating as well. It was a challenge to photograph this well. Here is the front

The card sitting on it's own

The inside

It worked out great that this was also a Moxie Fab challenge, so I will be submitting this beauty on that blog as well. I really liked the way it all came together. For the sentiment I used a coluzzle to make the circle cut out.

This card is part of a group that I am working on to send to the cards for kids drive found here. We are going to have them off by Wednesday, so I have 6 more valentines cards to make. I am so glad to have set this goal as it seems I have quite a few qutie valentines sets that don't always see a lot of love. I can't wait to play more with this fabulous set.

It's a good life!

Nuts for you

Well this is my last big push to get some fun cards made for the cards for the cards for kids campaign. The deadline is for the end of the month. There are 8 kids and I want to send fun valentines day cards to each. I have 2 made right now and hopefully I will get the other 6 made by Wednesday. That is my deadline in my head.

I used the Verve challenges in January to make 4 different valentines day cards that you will be seeing throughout the week. The Viva La Verve challenges this year are all going to have a picture of the home and a sketch. This is the picture I piced out for this week.

The sketch that goes with it

My creation

Didn't that turn out fun? I really like how the buttons went throughout the card. I think this little cutie can work for any age child. I hope they like it as well. Oh, this was for a Stamp TV color challenge as well. It was to have colors of winter that inspire you. I don't know about you, but in the winter we are inside a lot. My bedroom is so cuddly with it's chocolate chip, kraft, red and vanilla, that this really worked for me.

It's a good life!
