It's been a crazy week....

So yesterday I needed to blow off some of my stress.. so I made a super quick and simple card.. I wanted to play along with the Spark Challenge at Paper Smooches.. the inspiration is so much fun! So I made a cute little onsie card I really love how it turned out..

For this card I used the Vegtastic little peas, and the top of the carrot for the green around them, I also used the sentiments and hearts from that set too.. :) Love this set.. so many possiblities.. :) The onsie template is from paper smooches also.. I used memento ink, distress ink old paper & fired brick , copic pen, pp is MME life of the party, Cosmo Cricket Clementine.

last night.. it was almost time for Liberty to go to bed, she was playing the rockband drums.. and was so excited, she tripped and hit her eye on the coffee table.. end results.. trip to the ER and 4 little stitches.. :( what a bummer.. needless to say this week has been crazy!

Thank you to everyone for the well wishes for my dad.. he is doing better, he had to have a stent put into the front main artery that was block 99%.. he has a few others that are borderline, but they would like to try to clear some of them up with medications.. he has to take it easy.. and work his way back up to his "normal"... :)

I hope you all are having a less eventful week than I am.. :) hugs

I used the colors, stamp set, and "bunch theme"

Cosmo Cricket Hello Dear Friend

Hey everyone! I wanted to give you all a little update on Liberty.. She is doing much better.. :) We were having trouble getting her to urinate after her kidney reflex surgery.. but SHE IS PEEING! okay..I know that may not be a big deal to some.. but for us.. it's HUGE :) Thanks for all your thoughts prayers and well wishes..!!

-My card for you today is one that I thought of late last night before I fell asleep.. anyone else do that? Sit in bed and think of creations?:) Okay I am a Unique.. that's okay :)

All my papers are from the Cosmo Cricket collection Salt Air. (I LOVE Cosmo Cricket papers)..and these colors.. :) Cosmo Cricket is having a sketch contest going on right now too.. so I thought I would join in and use these amazing papers! :) Oh if you look at the bottom of the card.. those scallop circles float too :)

For the middle of the card I used my circle punch and made my own scallop center.. I guess you would call it.. The little white dots are .59 cent puffy paint.. (love this stuff.. ) I bent every circle to give it more texture and so it would almost fall like fabric.

The stamp "Hello dear friend" is from Unity's Could I Be Any Cuter set.. LOVE IT! I used my sewing machine and sewed around the card. Bakers twine to tie it up. Using Colorbox Cat Eye dark brown chalk ink, I distressed the card. I used stickles in the middle of the mini May Lilly prima flowers. To stamp the sentiment I used Unity's Burnt Amber ink pad.. Okay I am going to let you all in on a little secret.. shh.. don't tell.. when I was stamping my image I put to much pressure and got the "line" around the sentiment.. I was so bummed.. but knew I didn't want to make another card.. I mean.. who would want to start over right? So I placed some little white puffy paint dots on the "mistake." Who would have guessed that I LOVE how it turned out! Sometimes using our mistakes makes our creations have more interest!

Thanks for stopping by.. Hope you all have a wonderful weekend.. HUGS

Littly boy...

Hey everyone! Well I have to tell you my mom is amazing!! She really is.. after visiting the hospital 3 times yesterday with Liberty.. she thought I needed a "crafty break!" She totally knows that "creative time" for me is the best stress reducer.. So I got to play.. :) I have to tell you I love Unity Stamps. The quality of the stamps are amazing, and the designs ROCK! :) So I grabbed one of my favorites for now.. it's called "in the clouds." I never feel like I have enough boy cards, and I feel like they are so much harder to create then girly cards.. so I wanted to give it a whirl.. :)

All my paper is from Cosmo Cricket collection social club. (I LOVE Cosmo Cricket papers).. they are having a sketch contest going on right now too.. so I thought I would join in! :)

For the "road" in my card I used some teal/blue patterned paper, I pleated it for fun, and some cream twine to make it look like the "lines" of the road :)

I really wanted to give this card textures, so I grabbed my Martha Stewart shredding scissors and made some "grass... I love the patterns that were in this collection and I thought they would be perfect..

I ended up pop dotting the clouds, and adding some paper piercing around the clouds and the whole card for added dimension. Oh I also used Unity burnt amber ink.. it's more of a brown.. and I love the feel it gave the card.. I distressed the heck out of it..:)

Thanks so much for your sweet comments about Liberty.. I am hoping she will be okay now.. :)

HUGS to everyone who leave me comments.. they really make my day! :)
