Cherry the moment

Well it's another day and I actually have a new card to share.  I've been drooling over the Thrift Store designer paper I've been seeing on line and couldn't wait to get my hands on some.  Unfortunately my local scrapbook store has not yet stocked the paper so I was forced to buy it online.  LOL I know forced is not exactly the right word as I love shopping online.  But it sounds better than saying I simply could not wait any longer for the paper. 

For today's card I used the stamp set How Sweet from Whimsie Doodles to make this card.

Viva La Verve Week 1

Today I actually used a stamp set that I won.  I can't believe I've managed to use it so quickly. LOL.  Well there's a very good reason for using it.  See I'm going to try and do all of the challenges for Verve this month.  It's called Viva La Verve and the challenge is to make a card based on a sketch AND one of the 3 bedrooms they post.  So it's a sketch plus colour challenge all in one.  So here's my first ever Verve card.

Falling For You

I love {ippity} stamps!  They just so funky and fun.

Whiff of Joy and Mojo 142

Well it's time to start making wedding cards.  The great thing about wedding cards is that you can use them no matter the season!  And I finally have  a reason to use the gorgeous Whiff of Joy image called Wedding Carriage.  It's just so pretty and it's perfect for wedding cards and layouts!  And I should mention this card is based on Mojo Mondays sketch #142.  Play along and you could win some stamps.

Release day Tea

I haven't been very active on my blog this past week.  That's because I've been hoarding cards!  There I've said it...phew now I feel better.  Ha!

Today is new release day over at Whimsie Doodles and I can now start showing you the cards I've been holding back.  So today I have two cards, they are identical except one has a little pink and the other is doesn't.    I used the newest release Miyako Tea for these cards.

FFF_The Blings I love

Good morning.  I can't tell you how glad I am that it is Friday.  What a long this has been for me.  Today I actually have a layout for The Greeting Farm's Farm Fresh Friday challenge.  I know it's not my usual, I'm straying from card making, but don't worry it's just a little side track.  The challenge was to create something based on your favorite jewerly.  So I thought a layout showing the jewerly would be OK.  I haven't made a scarpbook page about me in years! 

So my favorite necklace is this one, it has strings of beads twised together with a big o'l wooden heart.  I can't even tell you WHY it's my favorite because I don't know why myself.   Ha! 

The other items I'm pointing at are my engagement ring and anniversary ring.  They are my most favorite of all my jewerly.

Have a great weekend!

Dad's day card

I don't have any sneak peeks for Whimsie Doodles today so  I snagged these from Denise.

But I do have a card!!  I used the new image Whale and Baby  from Whimsie Doodles to make this Father's Day card.

Whimsie baby card and sneak

I was blurfing the other day and came across an adorable card made by Melissa Phillips and just had to CASE it.  I made a simple baby rattle shape and decorated it with Baby Sentiments from Whimsie Doodles.

I enlarged the circle sentiment a little bit and framed it with a Nestie. 

And before I go here's a peak at the new June releases.

Don't forget to stop by the Whimsie Blog and leave your best guess as to what the peaks are for a chance to win them.
