I chose to do this card today, it is a sketch from "A Card A Day".  They have 365 card ideas.  It is a fun book to go to bed with and fill my head with loads of ideas.  The stamp set is a retired CTMH set, but I really like the sentiments that came with it.

I hope you have a happy Monday, think of it as a fresh start! - Judy

Sunday Sweet Treat

Today is a little nugget sweet treat to share with you that are super easy to make.  I follow a awesome blog and wanted to share her little design here.  So go check out her creations too.

It's a lazy Sunday, but I'm in a stamping mood so there may be more creations for me to share later! - Judy

Love birds...

Once a week I post a card that uses an InStyle stamps image, this week has two!  Generally I do ISS anime images but I just love these little birds and frame.  Wouldn't this be a really nice wedding card or valentine?

I also decided to challenge myself to do a card without ribbon or flowers.  How'd I do?

I hope you have a warm and safe week-end! - Judy

Because I love you...

Today I was choosing to do a card that just focused on the image, and what an image it is!  I just love the box of chocolate.  i would love this for Valentine's because it has no calories.  Since I have had three days of pink cards I wanted to choose a not so traditional color combo.  And my favorite rose in a sterling silver, which is the lavendar rose.

The image "Better than Chocolate" came from Fred She Said Designs. It has a very nice sentiment, but I chose to use a retired CTMH stamp set Because I love you.

Here is the inside of the card...

 

So enjoy your Tuesday! - Judy

2nd. post!

Some of you who live in the states may not think that Snow and Valentines go together, BUT I live in Alaska and it is very much part of our lives for the next 2-3 months.  Spring does not happen until May!  This is a card challenge for Designed 2 Delight and you can join in anytime.  Each week there is an image & if you do the challenge you get the next week's FREE.  So every Sunday I try my best to do a card for Faith's awesome blog.  Go check out the other people's deisgn with this image here!

Now off to do homework...Judy

Supplies used:  D2D Falling in Love Image, CTMH Topstitch paper pack, Nestablities oval dies, Marth Stewart snowflake punch & sparkles.

Follow your heart...

Here is a card that I wanted to enter into a card challenge.  However, I struggled with this card.  It is mainly because I'm not a big fan of navy blue.  But sometimes I need to give myself a push to see if I can do more of the primary colors.  I think Audrey looks wonderful, almost as she is swinging in her heart.  Here is a peek of the inside of the card...

Have a great Sunday afternoon! - Judy

Supplies:  TSB Audrey in Heart, CTMH card stock, CTMH sentiment Feb. word Puzzle (retired), DCWV pattern paper, Nestablities die, CTMH flowers, & sparkles.

Valentino Bear

Isn't he adorable?

This is love at first sight!  The first time I laid my eyes on Valentino I just adored him.  Such a cute image.  This card was done for our bi-monthly Teddy Bear Challenge Blog.  Every two weeks we pull out our teddy bears and make a card with some type of challenge.  This week is dry embossing.  Which is great because I got 8 new Cuttlebug embossing plates this week! And some new Nestability dies for my birthday.

So go on over to the Teddy Bear Stampers challenge blog and enter your card there!  We love to have comments and new players to join in on the fun.

Happy Friday - Judy

Puppy Love

Each week I have been trying to do the challenge with Designed 2 Delight.  If you do her challenge you get a freebie the next week.  Faith has been so generous and I wish her much luck with her new business and her homeschooling.  This is a fun challenge and everyone is a winner!  Go check her blog out.
