GO GIRL! / FM #42 & CTD #199...

Just popping by with another card, this one I made for myself! Jeff and I are beginning a "lifestyle" change... I am giving up my coffee creamer (I love you and will sincerely miss you Italian Sweet Crème... maybe we can get together on the weekends for 'a' cup of coffee...) and I don't know what Jeff is giving up, but I am thrilled he's along for the ride. As I near my 40th birthday (December), I realize I need to change some things. Especially with my diet. And my amount of activity. And since Jeff and I have finally, definitely decided no more kids... it's time. Let's face it, making cards REALLY does not count as exercise after all! (Too bad, huh?)

I used this really cute set, Work It Out, by The Alley Way Stamps! I just may be making myself more cards with these adorable images to help keep me motivated!

My card today is based this week's Freshly Made Sketch and the Color Throwdown Challenge.

Have an awesome day!

GRACEE GOOSE / DS #59...

Good morning! It's THURSDAY - YAY! That means it's time for a new Deconstructed Sketch! Our sponsor for this week's Deconstructed Sketch is Country Bumpkin Stamps! They are so sweet! I used Gracee Goose for my card... I just love her! And doesn't she look swell in her all-pink accessories?!?

I hope everyone had a wonderful day yesterday! I got to hold my brother's new baby, he's light as a feather & just the sweetest little bundle of joy! Here's a pic of my dad, brother and the baby...

Have a great day!

TRIM THE TREE / TAWS Freebie & CPS #272...

Good evening! How weird - I NEVER type that - LOL! We had a really fun day, a shrimp boil, a big thunderstorm... it was a great 4th of July! I hope yours was, too!

For this card I used this month's DIGI FREEBIE over at The Alley Way Stamps... make sure you go grab it! If you need some help using it - I have a handy dandy tutorial that you can check out HERE!

I based my card (loosely) on this week's Card Positioning System's sketch...

See you back here tomorrow!

FIREWORKS / CQC #144...

Happy 4th! Yes, I'm a day early, but that's okay... we have some really patriotic colors today over at the colourQ, so I started the celebrating a little early! For this card I used 2 sets from Paper Smooches, Circle of Honor and Metropolis. I added some rhinestones in a few of the firework bursts!

Here's the palette...

Thanks for stopping by!

FA-LA-LA / FM #41 & Winner, winner, chicken dinner!...

Here's a quick card today using the new set Fa-La-La from The Alley Way Stamps! Isn't this little snowman head cute as pie? I really love non-traditional colors for Christmas & holiday cards!
