Cards, cards and more cards!

Hi all! Hope you had a great weekend! Im so sad its over but so glad that this weekend is a 3 day weekend! YAY! And its my daughters 10th birthday too this weekend (19th) ... we are going to Universal Studios. Gonna have some fun!!


Been a bz weekend for us, doing chores and lots of projects im working on.
I plan on a total redo of my craft studio in a couple months in the spring I am hoping. Gonna replace the carpet and repaint and redo the whole closet for storage. So exciting! Got any good studio pictures to share? Want some ideas! :)


Well, without further adieu ... here are some cards I have been working on.

I did this card for the current Lawnscapings challenge #3 - All About Love and for the current Embellish Chalenge - Color Trends with Hearts. I used the seal from Critters in the Snow set and made the sentiment with Jessie's ABC's set all from Lawn Fawn.

This card is for the current Hero Arts contest - Love & Friendship. Here I used the Oceans of Joy Hero Arts set, along with some PTI cloud dies and MFT cloud and wave dies. Colored with Copics.

This card is for the current Moxie Fab challenge - Appearance of Cameos. Stamps used are from Wilson Designs Simply Silhouettes set.

And here are some cards I did for my etsy shop :)

Embellish and more to share ...

Hi all :) Hope your enjoying your week! And I hope the weather where you are is nice like we are having this week, our weather is awesome right now ... in the 60-70's with lots of sunshine! I love feeling the sun on my face, I so miss it on those cloudy days!

Also ... if you could please say a little prayer for my best friends Mom... she is not feeling well and we all love and adore her, shes a sweetheart. So we would appreciate it if you can spare a little prayer!

And I hope to share my first video with you soon!! YAY! I just got a Flip camera for xmas and I just broke it out of the package lol so I hope to be using it more. Its so user friendly.

I've also been super busy planning our trip and birthday party for my daughter, she going to be hitting the double digits this year at age 10!! You would think with her 'tude' that shes 13! lol We are planning to go to Universal Studios and then she wants to go to the American Girl (dolls) cafe that they have in Beverly Hills, CA. So thats the plan is to take her and her bff ... her friend has never been to Universal or Disneyland so we are taking her along to experience it for the first time .. so fun!
