What do you do when life throws you scraps?

You make a card--LOL.  The sentiment is from PBD and the card was made using scraps--how perfect!

Here is a close up!

A little edge inking and you are set--

Limited Edition

Wow--what a week already and it is only Wednesday!  I am gearing up for four weeks on the road and there never seems to be enough time.
Today I have a card for you that I simply love

I love the bright colors, a layered flower, cuttlebug, and a chambray ruffle.  Simply, easy, but the wow factor is there (or so I think)

Butterflies.........

It's Monday and I hope you all had a special holiday weekend.  I was lucky enough to get a bit of crafting--it's about time right!
Well the title is not because I nervous but rather the exact opposite.  A dear friend of mine recently celebrated here one year anniversary of breast cancer and I wanted to make something for her as she is one of my biggest fans when it comes to my cards--think I make all of her cards now.
She LOVES butterflies so when I got this from SEI it was like fate had stepped in!

It's a butterfly mobile.  The only place I had to hang it to work on it was my light fixture.  There is about 150 butterflies in total and took a good bit of time to make--I am much better when it is paper glue and sparkles than I am in these 3D art projects.

So I am going to try and hang it before she gets to the office on Monday!
I do have some layouts and cards to share as well.  We are back on track with normal posts (even through my work travel is still crazy--I have worked ahead!)
Make sure to leave those comments for your max number of chances to win this weeks CTMH blog candy stamp set.

What's up Peeps!

Hey my peeps--what's going on.  I am so sorry my job had taken over ever minute of my life the last few weeks but I was needing a crafting fix so I made a card this evening when I got home well after the Voice was on and over (a bit bitter about this).

So this fun Easter card is actually a thank you card--I know I know--long story I will get to shortly.
I did a four mat stack with the turq solid embossed with the cuttlebug and the top white is where I stamped. The middle bunny I added glitter using my xyron technique I always talk about.

Here is a close up of the layers--I love taking two colors and using them to really pop--simple but packs a punch.

So here is the stamped images--all from CTMH and the same stamp set.  I did a little three 3D here in a new sort of way.  No pop dots!  I know crazy--but I did use one of my must haves from the new CTMH catalogue called Adhesive Springs (Z1725)

So here is a side view--the springs are about a 3/4" long and 3/4" round--I have so many ideas for these--I think I have purchased like 50 sets--hoarder much!

I added a few scraps to the inside to pull it all together.  Before I forget let me tell you about the envelope.

I simply love this egg stamp and had to use it so I added it to the envelope--yet one more way to tie it all  together.
Products used:
Daisy White Card Stock from CTMH
Lagoon Card stock and ink from CTMH
My Peeps Stamp Set (B1402 $9.95) from CTMH
Adhesive Springs (Z1725  $2.95 set of 6) from CTMH
Pattern Paper from Lilybee Designs Buttercup collection (love love love this collection)

OK on to the long story.  Well the other day a co-worker gave my staff chocolate bunnies (an who does not love a chocolate bunny) well there was not one on my desk so I jokingly was like why did I not get one.  The next day I got a big bunny on my desk--I thought it was funny but did not know who had done it.  Well I had a business trip to Little Rock and Friday morning I got a text with the below-

My response to the image was "somebunny's got jokes!!!"  I laughed about this for a good 20 minutes!

Alright enough for today--there is more to come this week and after the holiday we should be back on track!

Smartie pants!!

Hello I know I said I was back--and that also means back to work in the office which has been CRAZY this week!
Here is a fun little treat bag I made for a smatie who got all A's in school!  I used PBD Candygrams set and the Cricut Graduation Cartridge.

I am in Little Rock till Friday afternoon on a customer visit so I will post again on Saturday a few fun things I have picked up over the past few weeks--I have gotten a crafty package everyday this week!
Next week will also be Five days of give aways!  A different CTMH stamp set every day!!!

I'm back

After an amazing trip to Europe I am home and back to normal.  Normal is all relative!
So I was in my craft room for the first time in a while and have got some cool things to share this week.
Today I want to encourage you all to head over to Pink By Design Stamps for a very cool Spring Blog Hop.
So here are a couple of pictures from my last stop London where Crafting seemed to find me!

I do love me some ribbon

I just loved this arrangement of hat pins.

OK back to paper crafts on Tuesday--remember to check out the PBD blog hop and we will see you back here on Tuesday!

Where in the World..................

Well it's Monday and I am just getting connected to the Internet on this trip overseas--Being budget aware I picked a few new hotels to stay in and well--not all of them have Internet let alone WIFI.  I am currently in Milan! The food is great, weather is cool, and the history is rich.  Here are a few pics of the DOMO.  This is less than a half block from my hotel--so my location is good but the Internet not!  I have to say I was a little taken back when the walls of the entire hotel are covered in fabric--Crazy I know

There is some restoration going on and not even the DOMO can escape advertising!

So I am off to Spain on Tuesday for a couple of days than round it out in London!  There are more pics to come but wanted to make sure to remind you all to leave those comments for the weekly give away. 
Make it a great one-
