I've been taking a break…working on other things.

I haven't been around as you can see. I have been working on other things which I would like to share with you. 

Deco Mesh Wreaths:

I also made about 5 more that I didn't photograph. 

And no, they were not for me. 

I also made some wreaths and pocket baskets:

That pretty much took care of January for me. 

I hope you enjoyed seeing my creations. If you have any questions or comments about them, I would love to hear them.

I'll be sharing some other projects also.

Thanks for stopping by.

CardzTV Go-to Galz Linky Party "Winter Wonderland"

Happy December! (Where did this year go?) Winter is just around the corner, can you believe it? Although I really don't want to see any snow any time too soon, that's what our challenge at CardzTV is all about…"Winter Wonderland!" Challenges last 2 weeks and Mary will give away a set of stamps to the winner. 

I made a card:

Finished Card: 4 1/4" x 5 1/2"

Spectrum Noir Markers

CardzTV with Mary Clear Stamps Christmas Joy, "JOY"

Sizzix Embossing Folder "Snowflakes"

The falling snow and the snow on the ground is glittered. The base white card is embossed. The image is single mounted. The edges of the image have black pigment ink on them. The sentiment "JOY" is stamped with gold pigment ink, then colored in with markers.

Hope you like this card. I think it turned out cute.

Baby Shower Favors and Card

Good morning. 

I thought I would share with you some favors that I made for a baby shower.  The theme was elephants and giraffe's (can you tell it's a boy? lol). Her colors were blue and orange-yellow. This is what I came up with:

(I hope you can see the embossing on the side). 

They are all different:

The gift inside is shower gel and a shower pouf…get it? for a "shower"? lol (I thought it was cute). And I also found 30 (that's how many I made) different types of shower gels!

I made a matching card:

It's says "Congratulations!" inside.

And when I was out getting gift wrap, I found these two shaker rattles:

I thought that they went so well with the theme…lol.

Hope you liked the favors. 

Thanks for stopping by. Please leave me a comment, I would love to know what you think.

Have a great rest of the day.

CardzTV Go-to Galz Linky Party

It's another challenge here at CardzTV Go-to Galz Linky Party and we are celebrating "Happy Harvest" (Create a project for Fall or Thanksgiving). The challenge will last 2 weeks and the winner will receive (their choice) one of Mary's wonderful stamp sets. (And believe me, you will have a hard time deciding which one to pick…there are so many terrific sets).

I decided to make a card for Thanksgiving:

Finished Card: 4 1/4" x 5 1/2"

Materials:

Cardstock: White, Green, Yellow, Orange and Brown

Dearie Dolls Digital Image

CardzTV with Mary Clear Stamps Going In Circles, "Happy Thanksgiving"

Martha Stewart Glitter: Florentine Gold, Copper and Cinnabar

Mounting Tape

Orange Pigment Ink

Gold Brad

The image is single mounted and the sentiment is double mounted. I don't usually do this, but I used a pre-colored image. I "blinged" it up with some glitter. 

I can't believe that it's November and in about 2 weeks it will be Thanksgiving. I will be hosting it this year. How about you? We will have all the favorites…turkey, stuffing, mashed potatoes, candied sweet potatoes, vegetables, cranberry sauce and pumpkin pie. Oh, it's making me hungry just thinking about it. Yum! 

The next Linky party challenge will be in December so don't forget to check back to see what we have planned. In the meantime, join this challenge and maybe you will win one of Mary's stamp sets. Good luck!

CardzTV Go-to Galz Linky Party "Happy Halloween!"

It's almost Halloween, can you believe it? That's what we are celebrating this week at CardzTV. Our challenge is called (surprise, surprise) "Happy Halloween! (Create a card, layout or 3D project using only black, orange and /or purple).

This is what I came up with:

Approximate size: 4 3/4' x 4 3/4" x 1 1/2"

Materials:

Cardstock: Black and Orange

Silhouette 3D Witches Boot

Sizzix Tag, Crescent Combo (Smallest Tag)

CardzTV with Mary Clear Stamps Happy Days "Happy Halloween!"

Thin Purple Ribbon

Purple Brad

I will be honest with you, I had a hard time putting this together. It took me quite awhile, a few attempts and I'm not 100% happy with it. However.....what are you going to do...I stressed over it way too long! A helpful hint is to lace the boot front tongue before you put it together. (Do you think I tried it the other way first?) lol I used a large eye needle with the ribbon because the holes are very small to go through. 

I filled it with an Autumn Mix of candy corn. 

Don't forget to check out the other designers and their projects. Mary gives away a stamp set to the winner (their choice). Challenge will last 2 weeks. 

Hope you all have a frightfully great Halloween.

Thanks for stopping by. Please leave a comment or the witch in me may just cast a spell on you!

CardzTV Linky Party Go-to Galz Challenge "Pumpkin Patch"

I know I haven't been around too much lately...life and house projects have gotten the best of me. That happens to us all, huh? 

Here it is in October already...I cannot believe it, can you? Although the weather decided it wanted to give us another taste of summer this past week. My granddaughter even asked if she could go swimming and I had to explain that we had closed the pool. She just wanted to know "Why?" lol

On another subject, we have a great challenge for you at CardzTV. It's called "Pumpkin Patch" (create anything that has to do with pumpkins). Challenge will run for 2 weeks and Mary will be giving away a set of stamps to the winner. She is so generous! And seriously, who wouldn't want to win one of her stamp sets?

When I think of pumpkins, I think of Halloween, Jack-o-lanterns, pumpkin picking, Fall and Thanksgiving (to name just a few...lol). So there are plenty of ways to go with your cards and projects, right? Well this is what I came up with:

Finished Card: 4 1/4" x 5 1/2"

Materials:

Cardstock: Black, Orange, Green and Patterned

Cricut Cartridge Mini Monsters Jack-o-lantern, page 58 (Base, Layer 1 Base and Layer 1 Shift)

CardzTV with Mary Clear Stamps Fall Fun "Piles of Smiles"

Markers; Green, Brown and White

Googly Eyes (Two Different Sizes, 3 of each)

Mounting Tape

I thought this background paper was perfect! Don't you agree? The sign and the top Jack-o-lantern are single mounted. The next pumpkin down is double mounted. I thought you could use this as a Halloween card or an October birthday...actually a "Thinking of You" or  "Get Well Soon" would work also. 

Since we are talking about pumpkins, I thought I would share a photo of my granddaughter when we (Gianna, her father and myself) went pumpkin picking last weekend.

She is getting so darn big! 

Hope you join the challenge.
