Everyday Sweetness

This card was made for the DT challenge at Card Crafter's Circle and the challenge this week is "Tags".  I saw this cute card somewhere on the internet and saved the sketch for future use..this is the time.  First i made a rectangle card and the colors and everything didn't work, so this is the second attempt and a square card instead.

The sponsor this week is Robyn's Fetish Designs and you will have to check the Card Crafter's Circle blog to see what awesome prize you will receive if your card is chosen. :)








Here is my card using Tilly Frog:

Jane Austen Bookmark - Pride and Predjudice

I had a request to make this bookmark for my Etsy store and thought i'd use it for the bookmark challenge at Saturated Canary..i've got another bookmark i am working on using one of the SC images as well..they are so perfect for a modern day Jane Austen.  I also used pages from the book on this bookmark.

Here is my bookmark:  Wish the pictures were a bit more clear :(

 Oh the woes of having a phone that i can't figure out!  I wanted so desperately to get this posted on time, but my phone would not co-operate.  I asked my friend to post this for me on my blog.  Here are the details:

Happy Birthday remake

This is the last of 3 cards i've remade.  I have totally taken the image i colored off of another card and remade this card.  I never posted the original as i had sent it into Stampers Sampler..and a piece of the card was published but not the whole card, because they were showcasing the technique i shared called crayon resist.

Here is my original card:

And the card i remade using the sketch from MoJo Monday:

The many hats of Sadie

I used to make LO's all the time and have gotten away from it and have not been making as many, i felt inspired to make this LO of my granddaughter.  I really like the sketch that was shared at Lasting Memories even though the challenge isn't to "make the sketch" but to Celebrate Mom or another special woman in my life. 

How can i say, how special this little girl is to me?  She is just starting to understand that she is a girl seeing as she is just 3..starting to like Princesses and pink and purple much to the chagrin of her mother that likes black and white.  So these choices came naturally without much environmental influences.  I wonder what type of a young lady she will become...you see i have taken care of her since she was 5 months old and wonder what type of influences i will have had on her when she grows up.  Hopefully, they will be good ones and that she will not pick up any bad traits i might have.  I think her 3 brothers will influence her as well, for now she seems to be able to take bumps and bruises and not get upset...and can throw a ball and catch really well. 

I loved Shirley Temple when i grew up and when i see her smile and see those dimples...it brings back fond memories.  I wish and pray the best for my little Sadie.

Here is the Lo i made:
