MTME - Pretty Patterns #74

This week at My Time Made Easy - Pretty Patterns we have a great sketch for you to try. I found this wonderful package of digis that I just had to have. Although the intent of the digi sets is for "fathers" I saw it completely differently. I hope you do to.

The set is called A Vintage Day for Dad. Well I'm not into dads so I would never make a card for fathers, but I love the images and I didn't necessarily see them as "dad" material. I just love how this card came out. 

Be sure to stop by the MTME blog to check out the sketch and the rest of the DT work. 

Thanks for stopping by. 

Have an awesome day!!  

Tuesday Morning Sketches #169

Hello Crafters-

I just love this time of year. I think fall is just a gorgeous time of the year in Colorado. I love seeing all the gorgeous colors of the trees and feeling the crisp feel of the morning air. This week I couldn't resist using this sweet little image and her big pumpkin.

This week at Tuesday Morning Sketches we have a fabulous sketch and sponsor - Stamp Fairy. Be sure to visit her store - she has some fabulous digis and she's offering $10 in digis to this week's winner. I hope that you'll come play along with us. 

Thanks for stopping by. Be sure to stop by to see what our Best of Best Guest Designer, Alison made and the rest of the DT. It's an amazing line up. 

Have an awesome day!

Halloween Project

For my blog candy post - click here please! 

Afternoon Crafters -

This will be a quick post. I am working on my Halloween projects for school. I think I came up with a great project (now this was not my original idea - I saw it on Facebook or Pinterest - and I don't know who to give full credit to.)

I love the project and I used my fabulous There She Goes Halloween set called Bugs and Hisses. I also used some Silhouette cut files that Jessica provided me to try out on my new Silhouette. The popcorn box was cut from Close To My Heart's Artiste Cricut Art Cartridge.

Thanks for stopping by. Have an awesome day. 

MTME - Pretty Palettes #73

Welcome Crafters -

I'm here with another fabulous color palette from My Time Made Easy. I selected an image from the digital store and I think she's adorable. She's called "Witch Way Single."

Have you figured out the color palette? Isn't this little witch adorable? There was no way I was coloring her in black. I love the "blue" I selected to complement the blue berry argyle paper. For the layout I used Mojo Monday #263. 

Thanks for stopping by. Have an awesome day!!

I'm still offering some blog candy - I hope you'll join me.

There She Goes Release Week | Day Three

This is the final day of There She Goes Release Week. We will have a release party this coming Saturday night. Today's sneak peak is so fabulous!! So without further ado...

We have been begging for it, and finally, Torico gave us what we wanted…our very own NINJA set!! From colds to birthdays, this set is sure to kick whatever you need a card for’s butt!! Just stand back, he’s got this…

Ninja Skillz is a 6x8 set that includes a total of 26 stamps and will sell for $24.00.

For my card I used Unscripted Sketches #179. I thought it was perfect for this image. I loved the way Adriana, one of their DT members set up her card...I wanted to follow suit. I just love how this came out.

Would you like to win the new Ninja Skillz stamp set? Here is what you need to do- visit the Trendsetter’s blogs that are participating in each of the blog hop challenges below and comment on their creations as you go. One of the Trendsetter’s blogs (from each hop day) will be randomly chosen as the ‘it’ blog and a winner will be picked using a random number generator from the comments left on that Trendsetter’s Blog Hop Challenge post. 

You will not know which blog has been chosen so the more you comment on the better your chances are of winning new stamps! The Blog Hop Challenges will be open until 5 PM Eastern Time Saturday, October 13th with the winner being announced during the release party chat.

Thanks for stopping by. Be sure to come back next week. It's There She Goes (Again!) week. Have an awesome day! 

MTME - Pretty Patterns #73

Hello Crafters -

I was a bit late getting this post up! I had to take Tuesday off from work and now I've lost a day and thought I had one more day to get this done. I just love how this card came out. It reminds me some of the summer time I spent in Maine with a friend. The sketch is so easy, I flipped it! I hope you'll come along and play with us at My Time Made Easy.

I used Seas the Day and Seas the Day Sentiments.

Here is this weeks sketch. I can't wait to see what you do with it! 

Thanks for stopping by. Have an awesome day!
