Flower Smiles

This card is another cheery pink creations. The new challenge at One Stop Crafts is to create a card with no sentiment. I thought it would be a quick DT creation for me, but I suddenly realized how often I add a little bit of words to the front of my card. I love the bright colors. Between the colors and flowers, I can't keep smiling.

Pink and Pearls Thank You

Splitcoast Stampers has a fun challenge each day in October to support breast cancer. I've had fun playing along with them. Today I'm sharing a card that is meant to be a Thank You for a caregiver. I was blessed to care for my mom throughout her cancer journey and spent the last 6 weeks of her life by her side. I couldn't imagine being anywhere else during this time. She told me how much it meant to her to have her only daughter with her and I treasure the days and hours we spent together.

Frankenstein Treat Box

Today I have a 'frightful' treat box to show you made with Stamping Up supplies. The box is made using the petal cone die for the Big shot. Just trim off the 'pointy cone ends' to create the base. Frank's face is made with punches.

Mini Altered Notebook

Are you like me and stocked up on school supplies from the clearance section of your favorite store? I love picking up composition books in any size. They are so easy to alter into a customized notebook to give as a gift or for your own special memories/notes. This project uses a small book; perfect to slip into your purse.

Ice Cream Cone Gift Holder

This is a fun and fairlysimple option to create a gift card holder. Or just cut the cardstock without the extra fold and you have a sweet card.

Kitty Cat Halloween

Halloween is quickly approaching and I've got several cute images colored. Now the challenge is to get them onto cards before next week. So far the calendar is full every night this week and that's after my full time job. I might need to brew some coffee and burn the midnight oil to get my craft on. :o) I love this image from Karen Doodles and kept everything pretty basic.
