Sweet Challenges

I am so happy to be done with Christmas and my projects. My latest project is to send out birthday and anniversary cards to everyone on my ever growing list. Here is the first cutie out the year. I did the GKD baby wipe technique challenge.
I also used the JUGS sketch challenge and the playdate cafe color challenge. It feels so good to play along with some of these fun challenges again. It will feel good to post regularly again as well.

It's a good life!

Happy year of challenges!!!! I always enjoy when I can participate in the JUGS challenges and of course, it is never enough, LOL! I tweaked the sketch, but I think it still works.
Here is my card

Okay why haven't I gotten this fun biscotti paper more? This was for a few challenges at spc as well. The Hope you can cling challenge for twine, twine, twine. I also used the fun color challenge from the unity challenge.

We are leaving for vacation soon, so I can't chat much.

It's a good life!

Celebrate Today

Well another fun Cosmo Cricket challenge. I decided to make a fun card for my Grandma for mothers day. I used this great color combo and the JUGS sketch below for a jumping off point. The sketch

Here is my card

I have no idea why everything looks so crooked in this picture, but it sure does. I busted out my new Papertrey Ink anniversary set for this one. Why I didn't buy the die that coordinates, I will never know but that will be fixed in a few days LOL!

I thought the colors worked well with this fun little bird. Izzy loved it so much that she had to make a fun card for her Dad who came home from his outage today!!! She colored it and then had to have pearls just like Mom and then had to have purple ones none the less.

We are so excited to have the hubby home. I am going to cute the chatting short today.

It's a good life!

JUGS You are on my Mind

I really liked this PTI color combo with the black.
I paired it with the JUGS sketch challenge. It is so much fun to participate when I can. I have really been on a circle challenge, so this was right up my alley Here is my card

Didn't that turn out fun? I really like how the black pops. Although I do have every PTI button colors there are, I really liked the SU buttons with this card. I have also gotten into using plain paper for color circle blocks. I also used the vintage cream to distress all of the papers. I also really like the floss detail on the buttons as well.

It's a good life!

Melaine's Blog Hop!!!

Well it is no surprise to anyone here that I adore Melaine's sets that can be found here at Gina K Designs. She is celebrating her second year blogaversary and 25 released sets. Not only can you win neat things found here at her blog, but you can also create a card using one of her stamp sets and join the hop as well. How fun is that?

I just got home late yesterday and do you think I unpacked, put away Christmas decorations or cleaned? NO, I just had to go and make a fun card for this great celebration. One of my new years resolutions is to keep up and blog my challenge cards. Too often I create them and then never get around to posting.

Since I had a lot of time at a hotel room Friday and Saturday due to a weather delay, I was able to check out quite a few challenge sites, needless to say I was swimming with inspiraiton. First I used the skech from JUGS. I really like this fun challenge site, but I haven't played as much as I would like. Then I saw this fun challenge from Embellish Magazine and thought it would work well with some of Mel's cuttie patottie animal sets.

Then when surfing, I ran into this fun card campaign for Winter. She is wanting to get a ton of cards for St. Judes. I really thought it was a fun idea, so I am going to be whipping up some more to send out.
Finally the card

Don't you think a little child would love this fun Valentines Day card? I have always loved the fun and playful animals that Melaine draws and this zebra is no exception. Hopefully there are more cuties headed our way LOL!

It's a good life!

Ain't no sunshine when you're gone

Good Morning! Hopefully you are all able to spend some time with your family today. We are lucky to not only be able to spend time with my family, but also time together at church. Does life get any better than that?

Now onto my card. I was able to combine a few challenges. Have you been over the the JUGS challenge blog? It is a lot of fun and they change it up every week. This week it is a color combo. I used the sketch challenge from Unscrpited Sketches. I haven't played along with them for a while, but I really liked their sketch this week. Here is the sketch

My card
Well what do you think? I really like the pop of red. It just seemed to brighten the card. Not that this will be any surprise to any of you, but I LOVE Papertrey Ink's buttons. It is such a fun mix of sizes, shapes and in the case of this aqua mist one bling. Isn't that fun? Oh, if you haven't tried the new ink pads from PTI you really need to. It is fabulous and I can't wait untill they change them all!!!


Have a blessed day.


It's a good life!

We're in this together!

Well I have a fun card to share with you today. I saw this sketch from CPS, so that was my starting point. I have been thinking about the Verve encourging challenge and also the JUGS paper piercing challenge. After thinking about all of those for a few days, here is what I came up with.
The card

Isn't that fun? I really liked being able to switch up the clothes for each woman. It really does fit the idea I was going for. I reallly like the idea of women helping each other and I am always amazed at how different we can be and yet how supportive and loving we can be. I paper pierced the gal on the left and the gal on the right was colored with copics. Add a little stiching and there you go.

It's a good life!
