I've got to learn to pre-schedule these posts (especially when I know I'm having company.)

I'll just cut to the chase for all of you.

This week is the letter M. Here are some ideas: Month, monkey, March, May, moon and the list goes on.

I recently participated in a calendar swap and made the months of March and May.

It's another wonderful week here in southeast Florida! The PTO's BBQ and Bazaar is now over. So, I can get back to concentrating on my first love!!!!!!!!!!

This week our challenge is anything beginning with 'L'. You'll see mine below but first I wanted to tell you about our wonderful sponsor this week. It's Stef from Glitterbabe's Art! You'll receive 3 images from Glitterbabe's Art if you are the winner of TT0035!

I chose hands of love! I love, love, love this image. It is so realistic looking!!

I have to admit, I've used it before for a challenge but again, it's so realistic, who wouldn't?

Thanks so much for playing along!

Thoughtful Thursday 0034

2010-11-11T11:26:00.000-05:00

Well, now that my computer decided to cooperate, I can get on to this week's challenge!

We have a wonderful sponsor for the letter K.

Digi's with Attitude - Here's a little blurb...

About Digi’s With Attitude!

Digi’s With Attitude! is a Digital Stamp Company that brings sass & attitude to your stamping projects!
Meet the newest attitude in town!
’Grumpy Gretchen’ is a sure beauty with sexy curves and very unique facial features.
Her hairstyles constantly change, as does her clothing and element she is in.
She is sassy and isn't afraid to show it! Everyone loves Grumpy Gretchen. We know you will too!
All images are 300 dpi and come in both JPEG & PNG formats.

Store Link: http://www.digiswithattitude.com/

As I said before, this week is K. The very first thought that popped into my mind was KISS! So, I decided that Grumpy Gretchen might not be so grumpy if someone kissed her.

Just a reminder - It's your take on the letter K. Whatever you feel works for you so long as it starts with the letter K...kiss, kleenex, karma...

So, this is what I came up with...

I'm not fond of my own handwriting. Writing my own sentiment here was very difficult for me but the alphabet stamps just wouldn't cooperate. There seems to be a pattern developing in this house with cooperation. UGH! Hope it ends soon!

Remember, add your link to Mr. Linky by noon (EST) Wednesday, November 17 to be considered for our prize from DWA. The prize is a wonderful gift certificate in the amount of $10 (Canadien).

Thanks so much for playing along!

Have a thoughtful Thursday!

2010-11-04T08:10:00.000-04:00

Today's thoughtful Thursday is all about the letter J. I have not made a card for this letter. I am borrowing one from my friend Kim. I didn't ask her permission. So, I hope she doesn't mind being featured here on my blog this week!

Here are some ideas for J: jewels, jute, jack-o-lantern, jack in the box, ... you get the idea!

Kim's card uses jute!

Lovely card, isn't it?! I believe all of her supplies are from TAC. This week's prize is supplied by none other than your friendly, independent The Angel Company consultant...ME! I will be sending you out all 3 of our current catalogs, plus a lovely little stamp!

Please remember to add your link to Mr. Linky by noon (EST) on November 10, 2010.

Cathy - I love your imagination card. That's a word I never would have come up with!

2010-10-28T06:50:00.000-04:00

Oh my goodness! It's time for another fun challenge here at Other Lovelies. I never knew how exciting it could be to travel through the alphabet.

Well, today the letter is I. I have to be honest and tell you I stumbled over this one a bit. However, I finally figured out something to show you.

Invitation!!!!!!

Seriously, I can't think of to many things that start with I. So, what I came up with from my very small brain was invitations, ice, ice cream and igloos. I hope to show you some more fun pictures of I things before the end of the challenge. However, there is no school tomorrow. I'm really not sure what I'll get accomplished over this long weekend. I will try though and that's really all I can do.

Remember to add you link to Mr. Linky before noon (EST) on Wednesday, 11/3.

Thanks for playing!

Hope you have a thoughtful Thursday!

Top three for 0031

Have a wonderful Wednesday!

2010-10-21T06:29:00.045-04:00

Today is H day here at other lovelies. The thoughtful Thursday challenge: your project must focus on the letter H. I thought about it for about 2 seconds and decided that my H is going to be playing along with Haunted Design House challenge this week. You can see it here. So, the challenge there was lurid and lovesick. Limited Runs Stamps just came out with some new digis that I think fit the bill for this challenge. So, I decided to use them.

Sally Stitches is just ga-ga over Grimm. She even baked him a cake in his likeness.

It's definitely a hauntingly Halloween type of a card!

Remember, add your link by Wednesday, 10/27 @ noon to be considered for the top three.

Can't wait to see your take on H!

Have a thoughtful Thursday!

2010-10-14T06:20:00.043-04:00

I'm on time this week! HOORAY! Before I get into the challenge, I want to let you know about a couple of changes.

1. From here on out, I will be posting a weekly top 3 on Wednesdays. (At least that is the goal!)

2. I ask that if you are named as a top 3 you add my top 3 badge to your blog (if you have one).

3. If it is a week that my challenge is sponsored, I ask that you please add my winner badge.

Now, on to the good stuff - We are on the letter 'G' this week! For me, G is all about the Grimm's over at Limited Runs Stamps. Speaking of LRS, they are sponsoring Thoughtful Thursday again! This time if you are the winner - you may select 3 of Nikki's lovely Grimm characters. Since it is the Halloween season, Grimm's would make lovely, frightening cards! Remember, you get to decide what G means to you. There are no limits from me (though it would be nice if you used one of the digi's from our wonderful sponsor)

I'm also adding these to Barb's Simply Sinister Challenge @ Haunted Design House. And Stef's challenge of Halloween and Sparkle at Glitterbabe's Challenge.

I've used Madison and Goober.

Mark, my youngest says that Goober is much more frightening than Madison is even though she's the one with the hatchet!

Here, I think she turned Goblin Green 'cuz she doesn't want to kill the Thanksgiving turkey.

I also have a plan for Madison around Thanksgiving! Let your imagination run wild with that!!!! Ooohh, I may have given it away when I told you about turning Goblin Green! LOL ;-)

Please remember to add your link to Mr. Linky by Wednesday 10/20/10 @ noon (EST - eastern standard time) to be considered for the top 3.

Thanks for playing and have a thoughtful Thursday!

YIKES! 6th grade is kicking my butt! My youngest has a bunch of science fair stuff due tomorrow. So, I'm way behind on everything!

We are on the letter 'F' in our journey. ~~Unfortunately, I have nothing made yet.~~ I do have suggestions: flock, flowers, foamies....the list just goes on and on.

edited 10/13/10
You'll be happy to see I've finally added my take on 'F'. For me, F is for frogs. I've added two different photos. Sorry it took me so long. Hope you like them!

I'm so glad everyone is enjoying our travels through the alphabet. It seems that we have more participants every week. HOORAY!

Last week's winner is Lorraine. Please email me with your 3 digi choices from Limited Runs Stamps.

This week we've moved on to the letter 'E'. You may use anything beginning with the letter 'E' this week - embellishments, elephants,emus, egrets.... I'm guessing this week will be all about the embellishments. I'm hoping for some surprises too!

Here's mine:

Initially, I thought I would run with embellishments. However, I realized that Madison (from LRS) could use some googly EYES!!! I also used some bling for embellishing the corners because all of us girls love a little bling!!!!

I want to thank everyone who participated in last week's challenge! It's the greatest participation I've had with this challenge blog to date! You've all made my day, week, and possibly month! So, thank you, thank you, thank you!

We are still traveling through the alphabet! No 'D' is not for duh! Well, I suppose if you have a Homer Simpson stamp or digi it could be!

I've decided that for me 'D' is for digi! Nikki at Limited Runs Stamps found me and left a link! She has some great digi's on her blog. In addition, she has volunteered to be our sponsor this week!!!!!!!!! The winner of this week's challenge will receive 3 of Nikki's digis. Hop over to her site and check out her fun digis.

I've used LRS's tadpole #2 for my digi image.

Due to the huge amount of participation, I've picked two winners from last week's 'C' challenge: KymKreates and Grace N. Check out The Angel Company website and pick a $7.95 stamp set, email me your snail mail and your choice and I'll get them out to you ASAP!! Also, I forgot to announce the winner from thoughtful Thursday 0025 is Audrey E. Please email me your snail mail for your prize.

Don't forget to add your link by noon Wednesday 9/29 (EST) to be eligible for the digi prize!

I haven't used many digi's in the past. I think I didn't like them because my printer ink seemed to bleed. Through the advice of my many blogging pals, I found that my paper was the problem, not my printer. So, I tried some paper that was higher quality than I had previously used. Voila - wouldn't you know - I LOVE DIGI'S now!!!!

Nikki at Limited Runs Stamps has some great digi's. This happens to be one of them!

What do you think?

I'm bummed that you can't see all the lovely glitter.

So, please add your link before Wednesday @ noon (EST).

Thanks for playing along!

This is going to be one huge post!

My card for last week's challenge - A - is all about these fun apples. I found this great laser cut paper at JoAnn's on clearance and couldn't resist. Of course, it's for one of the boys teachers. I just haven't decided which one yet!

The prize for TT 0024 is from TAC. It is the Rockin Roxie Matchbook kit. The winner chosen by the random number generator is #1 - Bettina. Please email me with your snail mail.

We are on to the letter 'B' for this week's challenge!

I chose 'back to school'. Yes, I know it's cheesy but it was what I've been working on. Besides, it fit!

Please remember to add your link by noon on Wednesday(EST) to be eligible for this week's prize.

This week's prize will be the 'woodrowe' keepsake album kit on page 108 of the angel company inspiration and idea catalogue.

Thanks for playing along with Thoughtful Thursdays and have a great holiday weekend!

2010-08-26T13:24:00.000-04:00

We're going to try something different with the challenges. I hope you all don't mind my experimentation. I just like to have fun!

So, this week we are starting on a journey through the alphabet. The challenge is to revolve your project around the letter A. Now, you may think that I'm being restrictive but keep an open mind. Your card, altered project, scrapbook page (whatever you decide) just needs to have a focus of something that begins with the letter A. There could be an apple on the project or it could be a technique that begins with A. So, basically - it's wide open.

I haven't finished mine yet. So, I'll add it to Mr.Linky when I do. In the meantime, upload all of your great projects to Mr. Linky by noon Wednesday (EST).

Thanks for playing!

Have a thoughtful Thursday!

BTW, the prize for this week will be posted with my project. So, be sure to check back!!!!!!!!!

Badge!

2010-08-06T12:51:00.000-04:00

I've added a badge to my side bar. It's not the greatest and I promise to work on it and make it better. For now, I would be honored if you'd add it to your side bar. The more participants there are, the more inspiration we get!!!

Thanks,

Well crud! I've done it again. I had a post all ready and forgot to do it! I've got to start taking my vitamins!

I'm so excited! The Daily Dare recently added my blog to their list. Originally, they had decided not to - I don't know what changed their minds but I'm extremely grateful!!!!!

Last week's winner chosen by the random number generator is: Dorothy S. Please email me with your snail mail.

Now, for the once again late Thoughtful Thursday challenge! Use acetate on your project! This is such a fun way to make a card or dress up any other project.

Hmmm...well I have preposted this one! I wanted to make sure that I had a challenge out there even though I'm in Indiana working my mobile spa business while visiting with family.

So, I'm still stuck on summer. I was thinking that maybe I've been a little restrictive with my challenges lately. So.... I decided that I'm just going to give you what I think are the colors of summer to work with! HA! When I think of summer it's yellow, orange and red. That's the challenge...use yellow, orange and red on your art. You aren't limited to those colors but you must have all three of them!

Here's mine:

Here's the prize:

Christmas Red stickles and Orange Peel stickles

Well, I'm a day late but thankfully not a dollar short.

This week's challenge is the beach! It's summer time. I'm still jonesing to to go to the beach. Unfortunately, I haven't made it yet. Good thing we have a pool! So, you can use a broad spectrum here because your art needs to incorporate the beach in some form - any form! It's all up to you!

Here's mine:

I'm not doing a prize this week. It's just for fun this time! I'll be visiting family in IN so, I won't have a chance to get a prize out this time! Sorry! Please play along anyway!

Gosh, summer colds are the WORST! I've had laryngitis since Saturday. Now, I'm coughing too. Of course the boys had to get it. I can't figure out the no voice part of it because my throat doesn't and hasn't hurt at all. I've had a headache but I'm not sure how that figures into the no voice or cough but I'm rolling with it.

So, it is summer time! I'm thinking flowers, flowers and more flowers! I love them! They brighten my day everyday! So, your challenge is flowers!!!!! They can be stamped or papercrafted on a card or scrapbook page. You can even do altered art. You know I'm not picky about those things.

I recently had a Fun shop at Betty's and here are two of the three cards we did there.

Now, you see where I was going with the flowers. I really like these two. I hope you get some inspiration from them.

This time the prize is a 'boat load' of brads!!!

It's been way to long. The blog space isn't big enough to explain it all. So, let's just move on! :-)

This week's thoughtful Thursday challenge is:

Create something black and white!!!! We all have a tendency to think of black and white as boring. However, you can make some really elegant cards. Plus, let's face it - if we've run out of every other staple in our stamping/scrapbooking/paper crafting supply, we still have black and white.

The month of May to me is all about black and white. Growing up in Indiana, you just don't think about May without thinking of the Indy 500 and the checkered flag flying on Memorial day weekend. So, our theme for my May card class was black and white.

Here are the cards we made:

The prize this week is one Palette noir ink pad, one Palette new canvas ink pad, one package of white card stock from TAC and one package of black card stock from TAC. Sorry, I don't have a picture available.

Please remember to add your link to Mr. Linky by Wednesday @ noon!

edited Saturday 2/27/10 @ 5:50 PM * I've decided to extend this challenge for an additional week. Please have your entries posted with Mr. Linky by Wednesday, March 31st @ noon. - Thanks!!!

I haven't done the random number generator for the winner of last week's Thoughtful Thursday yet. I will post that tomorrow.

On to the challenge! Easter is coming soon. As you know, it's been on my mind. This week your challenge is to make a card, scrapbook page, or other altered item using an animal related to Easter - chicks, bunnies, lambs, ducks whatever animal you have that you feel is related. Your card does NOT have to be an Easter card. All you have to do is use one of those animals.

Here's mine:

Add your's to Mr. Linky by noon on Wednesday to be eligible for the prize! This week's prize is below.

Hope your Thursday was thoughtful and your Friday is FANTASTIC!

Green, green, green!

2010-03-17T17:02:00.001-04:00

I made all of these last night for my guys, dh and the guys teachers! Then, today I found out that a new blog called the sisterhood of crafters is using Ireland as their first theme! Well, I'm guessing that all of these cards fit the profile of that challenge!!!

Let me know what you think!

Hope you have a terrific St. Patty's Day!

Going Green

2010-03-16T11:06:00.000-04:00

Looking for the Thoughtful Thursdays challenge? Go HERE!

My cyber buddy over at Stamp it Crazy is having 3 challenges this week. I do my best to participate in as many challenges as I can. Lately, that hasn't been many but that's life. However, this week I have 2 of the 3 challenges for SIC finished. I can't figure out how I'm going to do the 3rd because it's all about PEPSI - man, do I love the stuff. Don't have any stamps though. Guess I should get some from SIC! I did get some Mountain Dew ones in my freebies but I don't think those will work this time.

Challenge 1 asked for Gothic Green. Now, we all I know that I'm really horrible at goth. I only have 4 images from Torrente and they really just did not fit the bill. I wanted it to be really creepy. So, I went to free coloring pages - something my boys do frequently - and found the image that I used below. This gal puts a whole new meaning to the term 'Going Green'.

The Gothic Queen of Green!

Challenge 2 asked for green, bling and your own version of a leprechaun. Well, since I saw the first leprechaun movie those little dudes have really creeped me out. So, I'm not fond of using the little guys. So, again I ended up going to free coloring pages (just typed it into my browser). I found 2 little guys that I could tolerate. I used the friendlier looking one of the two. Oh, I also used my handy dandy brayer again. Of course, this time it didn't turn out nearly as well as what I was looking for but you can't win them all! Probably to many colors! I'm also not realy hip on all the different colors of green but then again the challenge called for green and I complied.

This little man just seemed so chipper. He made me think he was doing the 'river dance' or something.

What do you think?

Have a t-rrific Tuesday!

edited Friday 3/12 9 AM see * and italic print for specifics.

I have been diligently working on today's card. I was trying to think of something super cool but at the same time I wanted to participate in Barb's challenge and show off some new rubber that I got! So, I finally did it!!!

Barb's challenge is about the devil! I recently purchased a devil from StampitCrazy! Yippee! Plus, I won a WHOLE BUNCH of rubber from StampitCrazy!!!

Today's THOUGHTFUL THURSDAYS challenge is: use a brayer! I don't care what you wish to showcase. Just make sure to use your brayer on it and have it linked with Mr. Linky by Wednesday @ noon. *sorry, the prize for this week is the rubber shown below.*

Here is what I made: Before you peek, think of the deepest depths of hell! It's a HOT place!!!! At least that's what I was going for with the brayer.

What do you think?

Since I've received so much flak over being the rubber recipient, I've decided to give away some rubber of my own (well technically the images belong to TAC but I own all the rubber!) That is until one of you win it! *To possibly win this rubber, you must participate in the Thoughtful Thursdays challenge for this week*

BTW, the random number generator picked #9 - Gloria M. Gloria, please email me with your $6.95 choice paper collection from THE ANGEL COMPANY and your snail mail.

OOPS! I forgot Mr. Linky the first time around!

Hope you had a thoughtful Thursday!

Brighten and Warm

2010-03-06T00:35:00.000-05:00

HERE is this week's challenge!

Well, I guess I fibbed just a smidge. A couple of hours turned into more like 36! Sorry about that!

This card makes me think spring!

Everything except the ribbon is from TAC!

What do you think? All of my card class attendees hate making bows but I love it! If any of you are reading this, my goal for the next card class is to make only 1 of the 5 cards have a bow! Hope that makes you happier than tonight's 3 of 5 with bows. I suppose if I ever got to put one in a little girl's hair I probably wouldn't be so excited about them!LOL!!

Hope your Saturday is superb!

Thoughtful Thursdays 0011

2010-03-04T13:08:00.003-05:00

Okie Dokie my friends! I did not forget! Just preparing for card class tomorrow night and hostess club in the morning! I need to get better about scheduling my post. I'm afraid that if I do that, I'll be bad and not participate in as many challenges. So, it's a double edged sword for me.

Anywho, the winner from Thoughtful Thursday 0010 is number 3 - Deb Neerman. Please email me your snail mail and I will get your package out to you.

On to the challenge - It has been ~~unseasonably~~ unreasonably cold here in south Florida for a while now. So, I'm in need of SPRING and much warmer weather. With that said, the challenge this week is to BRIGHTEN or WARM a card, scrapbook page, altered item - just anything you want to work on!!

I haven't completed mine yet! I definitely have something in mind. I will add it to this post in about 2 hours. In the meantime, you can add your's by linking it with mr. linky. Remember to do this by Wednesday @ noon to be eligible for the prize! Oh and BTW, the prize this week is any $6.95 paper collection from THE ANGEL COMPANY!!

Hope your Thursday is thoughtful!

Blog Candy - Alert! Maybe?

2010-03-02T23:15:00.001-05:00

I'm not really sure if it's blog candy or not but even if it isn't you need to go over to StampitCrazy: Who's Paying Attention. Check out her fantastic stamps!!! I just ordered some! I'm anxiously awaiting their arrival. I can't wait to get my grubby paws on them to start playing. Check out my other blog for today's post!

Have a great day!

edited 11:38 PM Tuesday; I just found out it isn't blog candy but hop on over anyway. You won't regret it!!!

Asian not so Gothic

Have a Superb Saturday!

Paper hoarding!

2010-02-26T20:18:00.000-05:00

So, while going through my hoards of paper, I found some that I don't remember even buying. Pathetic I know. My only defense is that when I see a great clearance sale - I stock up.

Today's post is from one of those clearanced paper packs!

Oh, I almost forgot! This image is from squigglefly. I believe it is called flower girl. I won it in Maria's challenge. My only problem with digi stamps is that my printer ink bleeds - any suggestions?

Tomorrow's post is going to be for Barb's challenge over at Haunted Design House. It called for Asian Gothic or Dark! Well, Asian is definitely something that I 'thought' I had none of. Boy, I was wrong. I found a whole paper pack unopened I might add, called 'Zen Garden'. It's a good thing that I decided to quit hoarding right?!

Hope you had a fabulous Friday!

Thoughtful Thursday 0010

2010-02-25T13:40:00.000-05:00

Are you a hoarder? I hate to admit it but I am. I hoard paper, ribbon and embellishments like I'm a crazy person or something. Why? Well, I can't really figure that out. I mean I buy it to use on cards and scrapbook pages. So, why don't I? If you have the answer, will you please enlighten me?!!!

Well, this week's challenge has everything to do with my terrible problem. I'm going to force myself to use some of that paper I've been saving for whatever reason. If you are a hoarder, here is the challenge: use something (paper, ribbon, embellishments - anything that you've been holding onto 'just because'). It can be on a card, scrapbook page, or any altered project!

Now, I haven't made anything yet for this challenge. I am going to make something from each of my stashes - paper, ribbon and embellishments. I hope to add at least one of my items by the end of the evening but I wanted to get this post out there so that you could start working on your own personal dilemna!!

Here is a picture of the reason I'm issuing this challenge:

Here is the prize for this week:

Please add your creation by noon Wednesday to be eligible for the prize!

Hope your Thursday is thoughtful one!

Winner!

2010-02-24T22:15:00.001-05:00

Everyone was a winner this week! However, I only have a few of your addresses. If you'd like for me to send you out a RAK, please email me with your snail mail! I know that seems hokey (asking if you want a RAK) but since most of you are cyber buddies, I have to do it this way! Sorry!

Thanks for playing along with the Thoughtful Thursday challenges! I really appreciate it!

Challenges!

2010-02-19T20:39:00.000-05:00

If you're looking for the Thoughtful Thursdays challenge,

you will find it

HERE!

Today's card meets the requirements of these 3 challenges.

1. The Pink Elephant - ribbon

2. Crazy 4 Challenges - red

3. Haunted Design House - Vampy Vampyress

I finally broke down and ordered a few stamps from Stampotique. I wanted to be able to play along with Barb's challenges. Truthfully, I didn't feel that I had anything quite scarey enough to meet her expectations. So, now I do!

What do you think?

Hope you have a wonderful weekend!

BTW, the winner from Thoughtful Thursday 0008 was #6 - Kim - Living in Paradise. Kim email me your snail mail and I'll get your prize out to you!

Thoughtful Thursdays 0009

2010-02-18T00:26:00.023-05:00

Let's get right down to it today! The challenge for this week is to create a card to give as a RAK (random act of kindness)!!! You must give this card away. You cannot keep it in your stash for a rainy day. LOL! Even if it is the most beautiful work of art you've ever created (can you tell I really like mine!)

So, I've made two. Both digi stamps come from Karen's Doodles. This first one I just thought was really super cute. Can't figure out who I'm going to give it to but I promise it will be in their hands before I pick a winner from this week's challenge!

Now, the second one, I'm going to give to one of Tyler's teachers. I haven't figured out which one yet but I think maybe the science teacher. Pssst, I'm going to add a gift certificate for movie tickets. Oh, it also works for the squigglefly snr color challenge.

Please add your link with Mr. Linky by noon EST Wednesday!

Oh, BTW, since you are all doing something nice at my request, I will be sending every single person who participates a RAK! I'm just not going to tell what it is. You'll have to add your link and then EMAIL me your snail mail.

Have a thoughtful Thursday!

Thoughtful Thursdays 0008

2010-02-11T01:29:00.002-05:00

Boy, oh boy have I had fun with some cards today! First let's get to what this week's challenge is...~~sadly~~ this will be the last Thoughtful Thursday challenge dealing with Valentine's (well, for me anyway). So, the only thing you have to do this week is use a digital stamp. It doesn't even have to be a Valentine. I would prefer it to be but hey...I'm easy what can I say! OK, I made two cards for today's wonderful post. After I finished them, I went around searching for which blog challenges they matched up with - fortunately for me it was MANY! Above the first card, I'm going to tell you which challenges it meets. Between the two, I'm going to list the challenges they both meet. Below the last, I will list the challenges that only it meets.

Here goes:

Heather's Monday sketch
http://glitterbabegreetings.blogspot.com/2010/02/hands-of-love.html gave me this great digi! BTW, my oldest son latched onto this card for his girlfriend! Hunh! I must have done something right for a change!!ROFL!

My cyberspace friend Patti was inspired to 'finish' the insides of her cards which inspired me to 'finish' mine.
Crazy 4 Challenges - Valentine themed card - both of mine are.
The Pink Elephant - Mushy Gushy Valentine - both fit again.
edit - THT 036 - say it with love

Now, I purchased 'thanks honey' from squigglefly.com because Stef got me hooked.
I used Maria's Tuesday Template from last week. Sorry haven't gotten to this week's Maria.
Squigglefly challenge blog - #35 shaped Valentine using non-traditional colors.
Squigglefly SNR color challenge week 5 - grey, pink and brown.

edit - 2/11 @ 9 - I got a gold star from this challenge

Last but certainly not least Creative Belli - ribbons

Remember to add your link to Mr. Linky by noon EST Wednesday, for your chance to win the challenge prize.

This week's prize is...

I'm planning ahead. Can you tell what I'm thinking about?

Have a very Thoughtful Thursday!

I haven't had an opportunity to make this week's challenge yet. However, I know exactly what it will be. I'm still focusing on Valentine's but you don't have to. The only thing you need to do this week is follow the theme: SWEET!!! You may interpret this any way you choose. It can be cupcakes, cute teddy bears, hugs and kisses, etc...

Edited 10:50 PM Thursday 2/4/10

This is my thoughts on SWEET!

Stamps: kissieface (stampin bella), sugar (studio g clear stamps)

2010-02-01T01:16:00.000-05:00

I think that I may have mentioned I will be helping a friend out this week. She is a teacher and I'm going to help her teach Valentine's this week during her elective hour which just happens to be art.

So, for Monday, I have a bunch of precut papers and stamps that the kiddos are going to use. I certainly hope they enjoy this. I want them to use their creativity and have tons of fun making these cards.

Here are the samples I made up for them to get their brains moving in the right direction.

What do you think?

Hope your Monday is as Marvelous as you!

First, paging...Joan Ervin, I need your snail mail address to get your prize out to you.

Now on to the main part of the post! I like to participate in my blogging/angel buddy Barb's challenges. This week was Bridal Couture from the darkside. I couldn't decide which way to go. So, I made 2!! I also used Heather's sketch for one of them.

It's really hard to get a good photo of crystal lacquer but I tried.

After I had finished them, they reminded me of Elphaba and Galinda (aka (better known) as Glinda) from Wicked! My BFF was fortunate enough to see the play and told me all about it. So, I purchased the book. I love to read but this is one that I put down and come back to. Usually, I don't put down a book until it's finished but this is a really tough read.

What do you think?

Hope your Sunday is supreme!

This week's Thoughtful Thursday is.........a valentine using the color green (just somewhere on the card) and it must also have a heart somewhere. The heart can be an embellishment, part of the stamp, part of the paper or just whatever.

Here is mine:

I'm also using it for Stef's(click on Stef's name for her blog) squigglefly snr(click on this link for the challenge) color challenge. I also used Maria's Tuesday sketch @ Mea Stamper.

Wow!

2010-01-25T10:18:00.002-05:00

I cannot believe that no one has entered the Thoughtful Thursdays challenge for last week. I really didn't think stickers would be that hard. Doesn't anyone have a xyron machine to make their own? I have a small one. I guess I'll have to show you how simple it is.

1. Stamp an image onto cardstock.

2. Color it to your liking.

3. Insert it into the xyron machine and run it through.

4. Ta da! 1 sticker to add to your card!!

See how easy it is to make a card with a sticker!

What do you think?

Remember, you have to add your post by Wednesday @ noon to be eligible for the prize.

Have a Marvelous Monday!

Challenges

2010-01-22T13:44:00.000-05:00

Today, I'm participating in Barb's Macabre Monday challenge #022! Fallen angel is the theme.

I'm suppose to create a Halloween card but I'll lose it by the time Halloween rolls around again. So, I thought I'd follow the theme but do non-Halloween. I don't know if this makes me eligible or not but the prize isn't what's important to me.

Do you remember those means kids in school that use to pick the wings off of all the bugs? Guess what happened to this poor angel? (Technically, I think she is a fairy - hey she had wings!)

No, the card is NOT upside down. She is just taking a nose dive. It's really hard to fly with only one wing. Wish you could see the bling!

Don't forget to participate in my Thoughtful Thursday challenge. There are some great prizes. Just have your link up by Wednesday @ noon.

Have a wonderful weekend!

Well, the focus is still Valentine's! This week the challenge is to use a sticker. By sticker I mean something with an actual printed image. Embellishments do not count on this one!! I told you I would make this week a little tougher.

BTW, I'm still trying to figure out this Mr. Linky thing ( I recently upgraded). So, if it looks funky, please be patient with me!

Here is mine:

The prize this week is...

Remember to put your link into Mr. Linky and play along.

If you play along with every Valentine challenge starting today and ending February 11, I will send you one of the pictured paper collections below. Plus, I will let you choose which one you want. Isn't that a GREAT prize?

Thanks for playing!

Thoughtful Thursdays are back. I'm sorry to have been away for so long. The holidays, visitors and other trials got me off track for a while. I'm back now and promise to do the best I can.

The challenge for this week and for many upcoming weeks is: A valentine! This week you can do any kind of valentine you'd like. Next week, the challenge will call for a little more variation. I'm not quite sure what yet.

I made this with the new love struck cartridge for the cricut.

It seems that I keep only having one participant. So, Sharon is the winner again! Thanks for participating in thoughtful Thursday 0002!

Today's thoughtful Thursday is 'thank you'. Any thank you will do. It's the season for gift giving. We should all have some thank you cards on hand for those wonderful people that bless us with gifts.

Here is mine:

Let's see your's!!! Just add your link to Mr. Linky.

By the way, here is the prize for this time. Maybe if you know what it is upfront, you'll be more inclined to participate!

Hope you have a very thoughtful Thursday!

Thoughtful Thursday 0002 - create a holiday card using NO stamps on the outside.

Here is mine:

I 'lifted' it but can't remember from where. So, unfortunately I can't give them any credit. I can tell you it was another angel. So, if you've seen this somewhere before let me know who it belonged to first so that I can give them credit.

I hope your Thursday is thankful as well as thoughtful!

Have a fantastic holiday!

I'm absolutely terrible with computers. So, this first challenge is going to be super easy. Actually, they all will be for a while until I get much better.

Today's challenge is a sketch!

Just a normal A2 card. The red blobs can be any embellishment you'd like. Remember to put some sort of border around your sentiment.

Here is my first one:

Don't forget to add a link with your creation! You have until 12 PM (noon) EST Wednesday to add your link. Thanks for playing!!

I'll post a second one for more inspiration on Saturday!

I hope your Thursday is thoughtful!

Exciting News!

2009-11-11T10:20:00.002-05:00

I've decided that since I can't remember to post here on Wednesdays, I'm going to turn this into a challenge blog! Thoughtful Thursdays - I will be posting a new and different challenge every Thursday. My hope for this is to build up yours and my card stash. I would love it if everyone could comment and give me some ideas on what kind of challenges they would like to participate in. Remember the goal - building up the card stash! Let's try to keep it simple!

Oh and one last thing - there will be PRIZES EVERY WEEK! So, tell everyone you know. There will also be a monthly GRAND PRIZE WINNER! Super exciting, right?!

Hope your Wednesday is wonderful! Don't forget today is Veterans Day, don't forget to thank one!

Cricut lovelies

2009-11-06T17:53:00.000-05:00

A good friend of mine is going to have her first child in April. Her friends are all overjoyed and are buying her gifts all ready. So, I've been nominated to design some thank you cards. Of course, she's going to have a girl so girlie it is!!!!

I used the Cricut to make some really fast and easy thank yous. Then, I took my time and made some more challenging cards. The more challenging ones are located on my other blog http://www.papercraftinginparadise.blogspot.com/

Here are the easy ones!!

I gave her the two in the top picture. The others I hope to surprise her with closer to her due date. I'm sure that she will need more thank yous.

Sorry I've been out of touch for a while. The PTO is having a Fall BBQ and Bazaar at the school on November 19th and I'm in charge of the vendor side. So, I've been super busy drawing up an outline of where tables will be located and finding vendors. We had hoped to find enough vendors for 20 tables and now we have 22 vendors using 25 tables and more keep requesting to participate. With the help of our great PTO president, we figured out more locations to put about 8 more tables. So, we may end up with 30 vendors!!! It's quite incredible. Plus, I'm one of the vendors! So, I've been designing cards like a madwoman with no time to post them to either blog. I'm caught up now. So, you should see more regular posting from me until we have the holiday shoppe!!

Have a wonderful weekend!

Glitz!!

2009-10-14T07:02:00.003-04:00

HI!!

I really, really hope this card looks as good here as it does at home!

I'm really afraid the camera dulled the vibrancy of the colors!

It's for my SIL's birthday. Do you think she'll like it?

Have a wonderful Wednesday!

More Halloween!

2009-10-09T14:57:00.010-04:00

I tried another variation on the skull stamp. I used markers directly on it to try to give some of the parts a different affect.

I'm unsure...

The second shot is a little bit more of a close up.

Then, I used some crystal lacquer on the things that I wanted to stand out.

What do you think?

Have a fabulous Friday!

A few goodies...

Here are a few goodies that I've been doing lately. They go with the season.

Hopefully, you'll be able to see how I used crystal lacquer but it just doesn't photograph very well.

Sorry today's post is so late.

Have a wonderful Wednesday!

Macabre Monday - Menacing Movable

2009-10-03T17:16:00.004-04:00

HI! You know how I love to play along with Barb's challenges. Well, I don't think this is very menacing but... It is my first movable of this type.

Outside!

Inside!

Wish I would have used acetate instead of the green paper.

What do you think?

Have a great weekend!

I meant to post this yesterday but I wasn't feeling well and forgot. So, Barb's Macabre Monday challenge last week doesn't have an entry by me...well it does but it's late and won't get me entered into her drawing. That's not why I do it anyway. We had to use the colors purple, orange, green, black and white. NO more NO less. I decided to incorporate this with last week's Monday Mojo sketch.

This is what I came up with...

Can you see the purple stardust gel pen? I took several pictures but none turned out the way that I would have liked. Probably not my best work but definitely not my worst either.

Have a Marvelous Monday!!

Giddy up!

My niece Sian loves horses! So, this year I'm getting a bit of a head start on Birthdays! I used last week's Mojo Monday sketch for inspiration. After it was finished, I wished I had used a different dp collection but it's still lovely. Besides, I can always re-use the sketch with different dp.

So, what do you think?

Have a wonderful Wednesday!

Horror!

See, aren't you excited? Only one day since starting my second blog and I'm posting again! My angel friend, Barb, has a Halloween blog. I do my best to participate in her Macabre Monday challenges. This week's challenge #005 was to create something based on your favorite horror movie. Well, the Wizard of Oz isn't really a horror movie but the Wicked Witch of the West does and always has given me the CREEPS! So, I used her as my inspiration for my creation.

Here it is:

Thoughts?

Have a thoughtful Thursday! (too corny?)

Limits!

2009-09-16T07:15:00.000-04:00

I've been feeling rather limited lately. I don't want to advertise other companies products because I want my business to grow. Yet, I own things from these other companies and I don't want to quit creating with them. So, I decided that I could just create another blog. We shall see how well this is followed. I won't be advertising where the creations on this blog come from. I will just be sharing the actual creation. If you have questions, feel free to email me and I'll tell you privately where these items were purchased or the brand name. Finally, due to time constraints, I will only be posting to this once a week (unless, of course, I stumble upon a creative flow and just can't quit. LOL!)

Here is my first little ditty:

Hope your Wednesday is wonderfully wacky!
