TE Blast from the Past!!!!

Welcome to the blast from the past blog hop! I am so glad you are here. This month it was a autumn, thankful theme. Here is my creation

I busted out tweet hearts for the first time. I have no idea why it takes me so long to get these fabulous stamps inky, but I am digging this cutie. The little birds reminded me of a parent and a child. I am sure grateful for my little ones and they make me smile daily, so that is my inspiration behind the grateful aspect of the challenge. I used the curtain call color challenge which reminded me of fall for sure and the sketch is from EBTKS. I can't wait to see what everyone has created!

It's a good life!

Back with another fun challenge. This one is a color challenge from Everything but the kitchen sink. I have really been in a CAS mood, so this fit if just fine LOL!
Here is my card

Isn't that a fun one? The centers of the flowers are silver brads, they seemed to go with the gray feel very well. I finished off this beauty with some paper piercing and then poped it up with dimensionals.

It's a good life!

Thanks my friend

This is another combo challenge card. I have 6 more thank you cards to go before I am done, slowly but surely we are moving forward. The first part of my card was a challenge from Everything but the Kitchen Sink challenge which was to use buttons.
Then I found this great inspiration picture from Stamp TV

Here is what I came up with

Wasn't this fun? I love purple, but I don't use it a whole lot. I liked the color and the minimal sharp lines in the bedroom picture. This dsp is from PTI and I have rarely used it. Isn't it fun to break into things that don't see much love. I have been seeing a lot of paper strips getting used in cards and it makes me happy! As a matter of fact, I will be submitting this for the Finally Friday challenge to use at least 4 patterned papers on your card.

What do you think about the buttons? Another thing I have been hoarding and need to start using! Again, I have been seeing this in the place of ribbon and it has been quite a bit of fun. I am definately going to keep these beauties out and use them more often.

It's a good life!

Clean and Graphic

I combined some challenges to bring you this fun card. First I thought this sketch challenge was so much stinking fun. It is from Everything but the Kitchen Sink you can find it here.

Here is my card

This card is also going for my Clean and Graphic challenge entry at the Moxie Fab World blog. I really enjoy the challenges there and how they push me to think about different styles and get creative.

I used Mod Squad from PTI for this card. I was pretty easy to whip together once I got started. I did move the sentiment from the bottom and added some bling to the main image as well. I thought the rounded corners worked with my main image as well.

Izzy and I are making some "Ugly Pie", we found the recipie in the ugly pie book, so I will have a report on that later. I am sure it will be an adventure LOL!

It's a good life!

Birthday Wishes

This is for a few challenges the first is the fun sketch from EBTKS and the other is the Finally Friday challenge.
Here is my card

Okay I must say the Stampin Up color shake up has taught me to quite hoarding dsp!!!!! Luckily I found this fun sketch, which lent itself to dsp and then the finally friday challenge which was to use supplies you haven't used in a while. Well that was easy! I haven't used this dsp ever I think and the punch from SU was another thing I had never used on a card. I added stickles which is another fun thing that just sits on my desk.

It's a good life!

Wishing you shower of blessings

Well I am excited to share my last Papertrey Ink WCMD challenge. The last country was Aurtrailia and the challenge can be found here. I also used this fun color combo from SPWCMD combo #5.
Here is Nichole's fabulous graphic for her challenge

Here is my card

Now Nichole challenged us to use your gel pen and dot it up. Now for some reason I did dashes, but I did like the end product. The dots are from Polka Dot Basics 2. I needed a guy birthday card, so this really worked well for me. Yet another reason why I adore papertrey ink, it is so easy to break down the sentiement so it fits the space you need.

I heat embossed all of the umbrellas. Did you notice the background in the top note die, well that is actually a page of my phone book LOL! Okay I found another fun challenge called Everything but the Kitchen sink. Here are the details about their new challenge.

The challenge will always be to use a specific item from around your house! There

are tons of things we can use around our houses, but I think many times we forget

to look!

So without further ado, here's this months challenge:
Use something from the mail as part of your card or scrapbook page!

Isn't that interesting? I wasn't sure what I would do until today. The new phone book came in the mail. Now I looked and looked for our old one, but it was not found. I origionally thought all of the numbers would be super fun, but I can't take out this years numbers. When I was flipping through, I saw some rules for our city. Well I am not in the city limits so Jackpot!!!!

It's a good life!
