OTWC #39 and a Thank You!

Happy New Year everyone!  After a very busy holiday, I'm back with
the last Off The Wall Craftiness challenge of 2010!
To celebrate the New Year, look at the colors and inspiration photo below.
They are black, white, and grey/silver.  This weeks sponsor is
Graphic 45 and you must go check out their vintagy products!

I had some very fun birthday wishes yesterday!  Yes, it was my birthday.

My friends put together a mini BIRTHDAY blog hop for me!

So, this card is for Jen, Laurie, Sue Ann, and Barb.

You girls are just the best and are so very special to me!

Please go check out their blogs and see why I am inspired by what THEY do!

Since the season has been super busy, I found myself reaching for some pattern

paper for my card today.  It's old, old, old........from Making Memories but

perfect for the black and white part of the challenge!

The little rolled flower is for Sue Ann.... I did cut this one myself using some
decorative scissors.  Nothing fancy, just freehand and rolled up with
some silvery goodness in the center!  So girls, this card is for you because
it was "So Sweet of You" to think of me on my birthday!!

Hello all.......Busy busy here.  I have not had a chance to post in almost a week!

Yesterday was my daughter's 5th birthday.  It's hard to believe

that she turned 5.  Where does the time go? 

I hope to get some crafty time in soon as I have received some new goodies in the mail

over the past week and I can't wait to use them!

This was one of the cards that I made while at

my Stamping Away weekend. It also uses some fun new goodies!

We went to a great little scrapbook store in Wichita, KS and I found these new stamps

by Kaiser Craft.  Love how they package their stamps!  My background doily stamp is one of them.

It is a border stamp that I just stamped to create my own DP.

Don't you just love that rose?  Rolled rose......isn't it just beautiful?

 I paired it with hand cut felt leaves. 

Have a wonderful day!  Stay tuned to tomorrow's post as I will be posting my

Limited Supply Challenge cards that we did at our Stamping Away weekend!

Hello!  Can you believe I posted again???  Well, actually this was a scheduled post!  Still counts right?  I wanted to share this "fabulous" card I made for a birthday.

Oh, I LOVE how this turned out!  Especially that flower!  What about that "fabulous" sentiment?  For those of you who have Signature Greeting from PTI you know what I'm talking about!!  Dawn's signture handwriting paired with a wonderful font!  This card uses Turning a New Leaf stamped in Versamark.  A punched Bitty Dot section using MS Double Loops punch.  Adding a strip of Hibiscus Burst cardstock and Scor-tape with Prisma glitter finishes this card up! 

Wait a minute!  That flower!!  My favorite part!  A few punched flowers stamped with Polka Dot Basics and Giga Guidelines, button, and twine make this flower just "fabulous"!!

Here's a close up of that flower!!

Hope you enjoy!  Have a "fabulous" day!
