A Little Darlings Beach Ball Card

Hiya my bloggin' buddies! Man have I had a super busy last few days. I've had my cousins over Saturday and  Sunday. Monday did some running around yesterday we saw Cars 2. I love that movie. It's so cute! It's like a cartoon cars James Bond! Now today, cleaning, laundry and stamping is on my to-do list!

Today there's a new challenge over at Little Darlings. Our theme is Buttons and Brads or Eyelets. We are also having a GUEST DESIGNER call if you would like to be a guest designer please participate in our challenge and leave GDT after your name. I hope to see lots of you enter. You do not have to use a Little Darlings stamp to enter either, if you do and win you will win the entire next release which will be out very, very soon! If you win and you do not use a Little Darlings image you will win a $10 gift voucher to Love to Stamp.

The card I've made today was so fun to make. I used a page from my Bo Bunny Barefoot Bliss Album on the front of my card. I thought this would be so cute and different. So if you are not really a scrapbooker you can use these chipboard pages on your card. I couldn't decide what page to use they are all so cute! Then I could decide what beach scene I wanted to use so I used brads to overlap the images where they swing out. It's really cute and fun to make!

Well wow, look at me actually 'Blogging' and not just posting my card. :)

See you all tomorrow with my Cute Card Thursday Card!

Childhood Memories

Hi there! Today I have a carding using ' Just Swingin' from the latest Little Darlings Release. This image brings back a ton of memories for me. I remember waking up early with my dad on Saturday's to go walk to the park with my friend and her dad. Our dads would play tennis every Saturday or maybe it was Sunday.. lol I dunno I was like 6 so hey. Anyways... the park we went to had a tire swing and we would swing and spin and go round and round. It was so much fun. I could never do that now though. I just love childhood memories!

Today is the last day to get your Little Darlings entries in for our favorite color combo challenge.

Tomorrow will be a brand new Challenge. Yippie!!

Last week I seen this tutorial on Splitcoast and I HAD to try it asap! Its a card/box and it's super fun to make! You've gotta try it. The Scor-pal makes projects like this so easy. I need to venture out and make more cards with different folds. :)

A day at the park for Tilda.

Hello and happy Monday! Today is my week over at TOMIC along with a few of my Magnolia Sweden DT friends. So there's a new Challenge over on the TOMIC blog. This week our theme is to make a scene without masking. Which was so difficult for me since I LOVE to mask. I made my card a few weeks ago, and after seeing what my oober talented dt buddies did I had gotten so many ideas. SO I just know you are all going to be blown away when you see the creations.

I hope you will join us. Have a wonderful week. I think I've got a post everday this week too. I just love making the cards but I wish I had a posting fairy to do all my posts lol!! I always get side-tracked when I'm on the computer and forget why I was supposed to be on here. :) LOL!!

Summer or Christmas???

Such a busy week of posts! It's been a VERY long time since I've posted everyday of the week. If i've made any hiccups I blame it on staying up till midnight doing the posts!

Today there's a new challenge over at Cute Card Thursday. This week it's a sketch. When I was making this card I was really into it. I love how the papers are strawberry with the new Tilda with a Strawberry. Then Belle, my 8 year old said "Mom, WHY are you making Christmas cards" so now everytime I look at this card  see Christmas!!!! UGH! It's cute though. Just looks very Christmasy. Oh well!

Have a great day, I'll be back tomorrow with my Just Magnolia post.
