Hiya my bloggin' peeps! I have a very different card today... masculine. *dun dun dun* LOL! I haven't made a card like this in ages! It was super fun though. Irina from La La Land Crafts asked if I would like to do some cards for CHA for her, and sent me this image and I gladly accepted. I love country music and this card makes me want to put the radio on! Thank you so much Irina for letting me use some of your images. I highly recommend them, especially if you are a Copic lover! These are so much fun and give you a great big area for shading.

Hello my friends out there in blogging land. Today there's a super fun challenge over Just Magnolia and hAngler. Theme is chosen by my super talented friend Dena! She has chosen 'Cooking' as the theme and I have been waiting for a cooking theme to come up on one of my design teams to make this project I have to share with you. I used the 3x3 Card Box on Splitcoast. I covered the bottom part with Peony Flowersoft and the lid with some paint for clothing since there's a small tip.

Anyways I hope you like my Cake and will participate in our challenge.

Hello there friends! I have my card for Cute Card Thursday to share with you on this Thursday morning. The theme is Circle so I made a round card. I will be honest when I made this card I thought wow, I really put too much on it and it looked cluttered. Maybe if I were to have made it bigger? I don't know. I do like it. I love the paper and how it matches the stamp.

I hope you will be able to join us this week at Cute Card Thursday!
