I love, love, love being on staff (for almost THREE years!!) at Scrapbook News & Review.  We just finished over FORTY events with different manufacturers, wow!!!  I was challenged creatively for sure and got to work with fabulous products from some amazing companies.  I am one lucky girl. I also create stuff for each monthly issue of the mag, and enough time has passed that I get to share with

I am sharing a card at 365 Cards today, and the challenge is to use Blue-Green as a dominant color. I went really simple on this one, check it out: Have I mentioned my obsession with beads?  Well, I just love 'em and I'm finding any excuse to use them on my card.  Today, they're ornaments on the little tree.  Here's a close-up I'm feeling pretty festive these days.  Speaking of which, I'm off

I know, I know, it seems like I'm never blogging, but the truth is that since I blog every day at 365 Cards, it feels like I'm blogging all the time! Also, with my many projects for SNR, I don't get to share all of them here on my personal blog - at least night right away.  But I assure you, I am still one crafty girl ;-) Tomorrow my friend, Kalle, has organized a special gathering of her friends

It's been way too long since my last post, and although I've been crafting like crazy life has gotten in the way of posting here. I have to share, though, because last Saturday I completed a Copic Intermediate Certification class -- woo hoo!!! So now I get to share this badge on my blog Yay!  I'll be back to post some projects later....

You know it's been a busy summer when you can't even find a few minutes to post a few cards!  Although I did manage to find time to create.  With several of the 365 Cards designers taking vacations here and there over the summer, I was able to jump in and share some of my cards. Here are several of the cards I made... Cardstock: Papertrey Ink, Bazzill BasicsStickers: Cosmo CricketStamp, Ink:

Sometimes you've just got to keep it simple when making cards.  At least, that's true for me. I've got a couple of quick ones to share... First up is a "Sprinkle" invitation for my BFF.  She's expecting her second daughter next month, and another friend and I threw a mini shower for her to celebrate the occasion.  To suit her style I came up with this CAS card and here's a sample (or two) of

Today over at 365 Cards we have a new sponsor, a sketch and a Guest Designer.  It's going to be a fun week, too, because we have a theme, but I'm not telling what it is just yet... So here's my take on the sketch this week.  I know it's been a while since I've shared a card for the sketch and it was definitely long overdue.  So I won't waste any more time Card Recipe Cardstock: Papertrey

Whew, I'm taking the briefest of moments to share a card.  One is in celebration of my mom whose birthday is today!  Here's the card I made for the occasion And my mom, who is my best customer, asked me to make a card for my dad for Father's Day, and this is what I came up with I have been playing with watercolors a lot lately, so I created something that is meant to look like the two of them

Today is my nephew, Riley's 4th birthday, and I made a cute little card for him inspired by this movie poster This looks hysterical, and I am a big fan of Jim Carrey movies, so it's on my "must-see" list this summer! I happened to have a little penguin stamp and I thought it would make for a great "boy" card.  Here's my card, which happens to be for today's 365 Cards challenge Here are the

Here's a card I made for one of my daughter's very best friends.  My oldest daughter has hit a bit of a rough patch recently, and her friend has been so supportive of her.  It's hard to believe these little girls are only 7 considering how mature they are! Anyway, we got to celebrate sweet Piper's birthday today, and here's the card I made for her. Card recipe Cardstock: Papertrey InkPatterned

Here's a little card I made for my dear friend, Kalle, who is celebrating her birthday today.  The little birthday elves (my husband and me) snuck some flowers into her house (thanks to her hubby) so when she gets home from work there will be a happy surprise - one dozen yellow roses. I made this card in the hopes that Kalle will find a little time to relax and pamper herself.  She's the kind of

I created this project, several days ago before I left town, for a very special person.  My husband's grandmother recently celebrated her 100th birthday, and we flew to Iowa to celebrate with her!!  You can imagine the tall task at hand - to create something special and meaningful in card form.  I wanted her to have something of a keepsake, so I made a wall hanging that would remove easily from

Today was a super fun day that I just have to share.  I took part in my first ever Shamrock Run in Portland - such a blast.  I ran the 8K and I finished strong (for me, anyway).  I love events like that when lots of people - in this case over 30,000 - come together to have a great time and celebrate something. Even though I'm exhausted and my legs feel like jelly, I managed to make a card.  I'm

I am so excited about this card!  I hadn't been over to Moxie Fab World in ages, and when I popped on this morning, they had just issued a challenge to create a cityscape. Being primarily a cardmaker, I was looking for inspiration to create a card...specifically a 60th anniversary card for my great aunt and uncle. So I read the challenge and the first thing I thought about was one of my favorite

Nope, not me actually - but that's the challenge I threw down on the 365 Cards blog for today! Here's my card: I love Glitz and this patterned paper and the sticker frame with some built-in blink really did the trick!  The color scheme and the faux diamond, plus some edge distressing complete the look I was going for. And of course I've got an SRM Sticker on there as my sentiment ;-) It's

Okay, not really - but I am stepping in for Sophie, who is on vacation.  I decided to throw out a challenge called "Fun with Buttons", which is all about making button-y embellishments. I've seen these sorts of things before from manufacturers, and I remembered thinking, "How hard would it be for me to make that myself?" So I grabbed some felt, floss, and some buttons, and I created my own.  What

Hi Bloggy Friends! So all week long we are celebrating words that inspire meaningful cards.  There are a lot of words out there that are beautiful and meaningful, but for each of us there was a word that really stuck out.  For me, it was Courage.  For several personal reasons I think this words really applies not only to me, but to some dear friends in my life, particularly the one for whom this

This week we welcome back Robyn's Fetish Digital Stamps and More and I just adore their digi stamps!  Today I've got a Valentine's-themed card - *gasp* - is it time to switch holidays again??  My oldest daughter is always asking me, "What's the next holiday, Mom?", and I think this card will answer her question: Here's a close-up: Since I stuck so closely to the sketch, I decided to add put my

It's New Year's Eve, and I managed to find a little time to scrap.  I needed to make a card for family member's birthday, and I figured that I would snap a picture and pop it up here. I think it's pretty much CAS style.  That plastic sheet with the silver print is from Hambly and I love, love, love it!  It classes up any project.  The sentiment is a Scenic Route rub-on, and the ribbon is Stampin

Welcome to our blog hop, which is all about the vintage style! When 365 Cards Monday designer, Gloria Stengel offered to share her Graphic 45 goodies, I thought we needed to do it up right.  So you'll need to go hopping to earn a chance at a great prize.  If you want to know more about the prize packages, you'll have to check back in with us at 365 Cards during the week to get all the details.

Yikes!  I'm way behind posting my card for last Sunday's sketch at 365 Cards.  I keep thinking that because I've posted at 365 Cards, then I've also done this post as well. So here is my card: It came together quickly because I knew I'd be making a Halloween card and I had already picked out what I would use.  Halloween was such fun this year!  I had a little devil and super cute tiger to

Thank goodness for Card Patterns, because I started out knowing (or so I thought) exactly how I was going to make this card for my niece.  And then, not so much.  Quickly I hopped online and found CP sketch 88, and just in time! Here's my card: You'll have to imagine the sketch tipped on it's side and then as a mirror image, and that's how I used the sketch. That fabulous background paper is

I really needed to make a birthday card for someone, and I was not sure where to begin.  I decided to check out the latest Card Patterns sketch and it's been a while since I've played along over there. I don't spend as much time blog hopping and checking out other challenges sites as much as I'd like to, so I decided it was time to visit my other favorite challenge blog.  So here's my card for CP

Here's the sketch to start off the week: And my card: I'm such a rebel with my own sketch.  Based on the sketch, I should have something in the bottom left corner, but I just could not come up with something that wouldn't spoil the overall look of the card.

I'm jumping in on a challenge with Sophie this week, called The Break-up, because it's all about breaking up sentiments from rubber or digi stamps to suit the design of the card.We are being sponsored by Wink Wink Ink this week, and I use this sentiment on my card:I had such fun with this card!

Last year, thanks to SNR Magazine, I had the pleasure of working with some Glitz papers and embellishments, and as a card maker, I wanted to make the most of the paper I had. I started with a 12x12 sheet of cardstock in a coordinating green color. I cut it down into 8 3x6 pieces:Next I scored each piece to create 8 3x3 card bases.The beauty of using a piece of patterned paper like this is that it

Today I'm jumping in for Gloria because she is taking some much needed time off. This week I thought we try a Card Recipe every day, but there is a twist. Each day, the recipe will be slightly modified from the previous day. I think the DT must be nuts to put up with me, lol! It sounded like fun, so we'll see...Here's the recipe for today:Ingredients:4.25x5.5 Card3x3 patterned paperStitching3

It's been a busy week for me as I prepare for my daughter's 4th birthday party. However, I did manage to find a little time to create a card for today's sketch at 365 Cards - which is good because Sophie's on vacation and I'm filling in!Here's the sketch: And my card:I recently came across that Basic Grey paper when I was going through my stash looking for something else. It was perfect for the

It's Friday, and I am filling in for the lovely Sophie at 365 Cards. I was first introduced to the woven heart design by my Mother-in-Law, and she was kind enough to create a pattern for me. We hang some fabric versions of these on our Christmas tree every year, but I thought it would make for a fun challenge to create a paper version for our cards. Here are some photographs of my first

Yesterday (Fri) was a great start to my weekend. I drove up to Puyallup, WA to meet up with the one-and-only Amy Tsuruta at a Scrapbook Expo. You may know her as a DT member of 365 Cards, but it's not the only possibility. Amy is (and has been) on several DT's because she's so darn talented!! Not to mention she is one of the friendliest bloggers out there, always taking the time to hop around and

How about that? I'm only a day late on this post!This is my card for this week's Sunday sketch at 365 Cards:The leafy stamps are {ippity}, which happens to be the sponsor this week at 365 Cards. Specifically, Kim Bell from Endless Inkabilities is offering one free {ippity} stamp set! This is a fabulous prize and definitely worth jumping in for - so come on and join us this week!!

I'm sad to say I have not posted in over two weeks - Yikes!! The main reason is that I've been spending a good chunk of that time here in my hometown in Northern Minnesota.I've had a very relaxing visit with family and friends, and we've been fortunate enough to enjoy warm, sunny weather. Before I flew east, I made several cards, but this is the only one I can share because the rest were for SNR

I just cannot believe all the amazing sponsors we've had at 365 Cards! This week we are being sponsored by SRM Stickers. It was such a treat to get my hands on these stickers. The sheets that the DT was provided were loaded with sentiments - and the quality is fantastic. Here's my take on this week's Sunday Sketch:I've got several gift cards to hand out this week as we end the year of school

....For my wonderful parents, who will celebrate 41 years of marriage on the 7th! And lucky me, because I will celebrate 12 years of marriage to my husband on the 6th.So my mom asked me to make an anniversary card for her to give to my dad. I needed a little help, so I followed this week's sketch at 2 Sketches 4 You. And speaking of anniversaries, Happy 2nd to Kazan and Laura, thank you for the

I must say, I'm such a fan of this week's sponsor KLM Design's digital images. They are sooooo beautiful and easy to work with!Here's the sketch this week at 365 Cards: I took one look at this image and decided that it fit perfectly with the sketch:Although the plants are not aligned with door the way they are in the sketch, it kinda works, doesn't it?It was nice to sneak away to my scraproom

...but at least I'm getting my post in this week!! We are being sponsored by Elisabeth Ostrowski, who's an {ippity} chick, this week. And the DT gets to work with stamps from The Simple Things set. In fact, I liked it so much that I bought a whole set for myself. I want to thank Bonnie Rose, a 365er and former {ippity} chick for providing us with the stamps to play with :) And of course,

I know, I am just terrible lately about posting on this blog. I've been a busy mom these days, so that has taken priority. But, we are in the middle of a series of sponsored weeks over at 365 Cards, so I had to share this card.

Yay - another sponsored week at 365 Cards! I'm afraid I was late in photographing and posting this picture because I spent all day yesterday at a craft fair in Portland selling my cards. So here I am sharing my card for this week's sketch using this darling mermaid image from Digital Delights:Papers are Basic Grey and Scenic Route.

I'm channeling my inner Sophie from the 365 Cards DT - I love her Clean & Simple style, and I really wanted to stick to the sketch this week. So here's what I came up with:I could not think of any clever design for this, beyond the design of the sketch. I just got this PTI patterned paper along with some white cardstock in the mail last week. I also got a fabulous stamp set that I plan on

And so begins another week at 365 Card...Here is my card for this week's sketch:I love working with the color red, but I thought there was almost too much, so I popped in a little bit of blue in the button. The blossom is a piece of chipboard that I colored with a red Copic marker. The background was created with a stamped image (Stampin' Up).I really wasn't sure about this one when I first

Here's the Sunday Sketch this week at 365 Cards:And my card: It's so funny, because the cards that are the simplest in design seem to take the longest to create! This card took me a couple of hours - lots of fussy gluing with these Cricut floral elements from the Tink cart. The stitching didn't take quite as long, but having to poke little holes to guide the stitching takes time. I'm really

I'm glad I got the chance to share a card for today's challenge at 365 Cards, because I've always wanted to try this on a card. It was definitely a learning experience for me, and I like how it turned out, but I think I could do a better job now that I have the idea. Here's my card:It ends up looking Clean & Simple, and yet it was quite a lot of work. I used little brads to help me with

Well, we've officially reached a year at 365 Cards! It just flew by for me. When I first started the blog, I hadn't thought beyond the first year, but it's gotten such a great response and we had so much fun that I wanted to keep going.Here is the final sketch from the last 365 year: And my card:Here's a close-up of the lines I drew using my atyou Spica glitter pens and a ruler:I stared and

I'm so excited that I'm about to burst! Tomorrow I head into Canada to watch my very best friend, Natalie, curl in the Olympic games.Last year at this time I was in Colorado at the Olympic trials for US Women's Curling and I had the great pleasure of watching her team win. Here's one of my favorite pictures from that event.That was my first opportunity to give her a hug after the qualifying win!

Today Gloria is up with her sketch, and here is my take.I saw this chick stamp set from Unity Stamps at Craft Warehouse a couple of weeks ago, and it was a must have.

I'm jumping in this Wednesday with my take on a 365 Cards challenge, which is to put some metal on my card.I found this little clip in my stash as I was digging around for ideas, and I was inspired to create this "clipboard" card:I also thought it would be great to beef up my practically non-existent collection of masculine cards - lol!

We weren't sure if my husband would make it home because he was in the Midwest right went the winter weather arrived, but he made it out of there and home late on Christmas Eve. Our daughters still very much believe in Santa Claus, and it's always a pleasure for us to surprise them with things on their lists for Santa. We also carried

Well I am making a super late post here - it's currently 1:40 AM on the West Coast - yikes!!Although I'm getting this posted late at night, it was worth it because I had a wonderful date with my husband today. We went to see Beauty and the Beast on stage in Portland and then we had a delicious seafood dinner - yum!! We don't really exchange gifts, so instead we usually go out on a special date.

I've been spending my days this weekend at America's Largest Christmas Bazaar in Portland, OR, and I am thoroughly exhausted at the end of each day. I've learned a few things, too. My best selling cards are my 3x3 gift cards. I cannot keep enough of them on the table. It helps that I sell them "Buy 2 Get 1 Free", I think. But also, they are perfect for packages, and this time of year there are a

It's KLM Designs Week at 365 Cards, and it's going to be a lot of fun!For today's sketch card, I had the pleasure of working with the Emily Ballerina digital image.Here's the sketch and my card:I used Copics to color in that beautiful image. I will be giving this to my oldest daughter for her birthday in January. She takes ballet and tap, and even though she's only on her second year, I love to

Here's a card I made for my cousin - and it needed to be a masculine card. Sketches are fun, masculine cards are hard (for me), so this was a challenge indeed. Anytime I'm unsure where to start, I check out one of my favorite sketch blogs - besides 365 Cards of course ;) I took a peek at 2 Sketches 4 You and decided that Kazan's sketch 40 was a great fit for my needs. So here's my card: You're

Another sketch at 365 Cards, and I gotta tell ya, it wasn't my favorite to work with! What?? Yep, my own sketch and I just wasn't feeling very inspired. So I pulled out some Making Memories Autumn papers, stickers, etc., that I picked up at Michael's last week for something like 70% off!!Anyway, here's the sketch:And my card:In the end, I was pleased with how it turned out.So I know it's early

I'm up again this week with my take on a challenge, and the challenge is called "Let's Patch Things Up".So I added a patch to my stocking, check it out:All that patterned paper is from My Mind's Eye and the button is Basic Grey. Since a patch would suggest that the stocking is worn out from years of love and hanging by the fireplace, I thought I should distress the edges of the stocking, too.

Yay - a fun week is ahead at 365 Cards! We're working with digital images from Paper Popsicles this week, and it's been great so far. I worked with Abbie 2, and she is so darn cute, it was easy to come up with a card to fit the sketch!So here's the sketch and my card:As you can see, I flipped the sketch on its side and made a 4x6 card.

I'm filling the Tuesday spot this week at 365 Cards (Tammy, I miss you!!!) with my take on the Imagine This challenge, which is all about Feathers.It was easy thinking of these fibers from Basic Grey that I added to my card, but I struggled with the sentiment. In the end, I decided on this cardstock sticker from Fancy Pants because it represents what this card makes me feel.It's no secret that I

This week we have a new sponsor at 365 Cards. The ladies from Torendi generously shared some product from their October kit, so I played with a little of it for my sketch card.From the October kit, I used Cosmo Cricket Earth Love paper, and some rubons from E.A.D. Designs. Come join us this week and play along!

It's nearly 9 PM as I write this, but I believe it is still technically World Cardmaking Day, so this is my celebratory card! It took me several hours to complete because I had to start and stop a bunch, but I got it done.I was looking for some inspiration, and I really wanted to use a digital image that I created for a 365 challenge, so I hopped over to 2 Sketches 4 You to see the weekly sketch

So this week we are playing with glitter over at 365 Cards - lots of messy fun! I have been working on some cards for this week's challenge, and the first one up is the Sunday sketch: The DT and I got to play with some glitter given to us in kits by art glitter. It came to us with some special clear adhesive with a special applicator tip. It was so easy to work with, and the result is shimmery

We are celebrating Reader Appreciation Week at 365 Cards as a way to thank the MANY readers. I have been blown away by the positive response to the blog and enjoy it more and more each day.Here is this week's sketch: It's funny, because I really didn't have a plan for the card.

Yes, another fun sponsored week at 365 cards has begun! Because it's Sunday, we have a sketch challenge, and here is the sketch along with my card: The patterned paper is from Cosmo Cricket's Ever After line, which was perfect for this card, since it is for my SIL and her husband who will celebrate 10 years on the 26th. The sentiment is from a sheet of SEI rub-ons, which matched perfectly with

Well, it's been a while since I've participated in a Card Patterns sketch, and when I saw this one I knew it was time to jump back in. In fact, I liked it so much, I really did not stray from the sketch:Most of these elements can be found in my June Card Kit, and those details can be found here. Thanks for looking!

It's funny, but even though I like my own sketches, I am more inspired by some over others, and this was definitely a favorite. Thanks for looking and come join the fun!

Here is my card for this week's sketch. I believe it meets all the criteria, particularly that it was created specifically for this challenge. I had fun making this card, although the handstitching was definitely time consuming.

Okay - I'm laughing at myself right now, because I realized that on my last post I said "back tomorrow with another card", and I totally lied! I make a lot more cards than I actually post, so I need to get on that, don't I?I'm pleased with my card from this week's sketch, but I almost forgot to take the picture yesterday, so I zipped outside to grab the last bit of daylight and it was still too
