My Friend...

I cannot believe it has been almost a month since I have posted.  Life has just been busy.  The girls in school, birthdays, work, you know all that stuff.  I hope everyone is doing well and enjoying their fall weather.

I haven't been working much on my paper crafts lately.  I have a bit, but not as much as I should be.  I am behind on scrapbooking and card making!  but...I am enjoying life.   I do have a card that I have created in my down time.

I did a search of this stamp set in google and found lots of inspiration.  So I adapted several different ideas in one!
Will update with my supplies later.

Thanks for stopping by and hope everyone has a great day!

Playing With Color~Friend

Sat down at my craft table this week.  Practicing coloring with copics, scrapbooking and card making.  So it is fun.  Last night I was crafting and watching the Voice and X-factor.  I had never really watched either of these shows.  But now...in one night...I am addicted.  So at least I know I will have something to watch and listen to while I am crafting.

Okay, now on to my card.  This card so for the Playing with color challenge I do with my Upline Chat.  The colors this week were Cajun Craze, Olive, Kraft and a neutral.  

Thanks for stopping by and I hope to have more to share with you the end of the week.  Right now I not in a lot of pain.  My back isn't hurting too bad and my arm is feeling better.  So when I feel good like this I try to craft as much as possible. 

Have a good one!

Consider It Cased 118

Saturdays are a Consider It Cased challenge that my SU demonstrator upline does on her blog.  Every Saturday she creates a card that she cased from somewhere in blog land.  So today or tonight I should say I decided to play along.  I am a huge fan of Amber Hight.  I absolutely love her blog.  So I decided to case her card which you can find HERE.   I used my new Stampin Up DPS for this card.  Just love the flowers.

Thanks for stopping by and be sure to head over to Chat and Jean's blogs to see their cased cards.

Recipe:  Will follow shortly

Means So Much...other craft

Hello all.  Hope you are all having a good weekend.  We had a good weekend.   All is good here.  Our last weekend before school starts.  We have school shopping done, lunch boxes ready to go and now they have one more night to stay up late.  I loved spending the summer with them, but Mama is now ready for school to start.

As you can see I do have a card to share today.  I decided to play along with the sketch over at Techno Stamper.  You can find this weeks sketch HERE.  It was this past Mondays' sketch, that I am just getting around to posting.  This is only the 2nd time of playing along with one of her sketches but I am hoping to play along more often.    I really do like her sketches it is just that I usually don't get my card done in time to post on her blog.  But yeah for me this time I did.  I am really trying to get better about that.  

I decided  to pull out my verve stamps for this card along with my The Stamps of Life stamp set.  My paper is both CTMH and Stampin Up.

Also today I decided to pull out my Counted Cross-stitch supplies. Yep, I like to do counted cross-stitching. It is my only other hobby other than scrabooking/cardmaking and reading.   It is been so long since I have done something with it so I decided today is the day.  It will probably take me forever to finish the picture I have started but it will be a nice change from card making and scrapbooking.  I will just work on it in between cards and when I just don't feel like sitting down at my craft table.  The one thing I do like about counted cross-stitch is I can do it while sitting on the couch with my feet up.  LOVE IT!   So...here is a sneak peak of what I have gotten done so far today...

...yep...I know it doesn't look like much.  But atleast I got it started.  Now I will just have to see how long it will take me to finish it.  Will take another picture in a few weeks to show the progress.
