Becky's Birthday Blog Hop!!!

Does anyone miss me?

I  miss all of you so much and wish that my schedule let me post more often! I was recently very sick and sort of took some time off to get it together. I am all better now and lets hope I can get back to at least 1 or 2 posts a week.

Becky asked me to be a part of her birthday celebration and I am always so excited to be a part of your blog hops!!! :)

So let's get started!!! If you just bumped into this hop CLICK HERE to be directed to the beginning!!!

The card I made was for my coach that absolutely LOVES Tinkerbell! I printed her out and then cut it out in an oval shape using my gypsy. I really love the way it turned out especially considering that I started with nothing but a printed Tinkerbell! LOL :)

I inked all of the edges to add a little color and depth, and the crinkle ribbon and stamp set are from the awesome PINK BY DESIGN store!

Hope you like it!!! (Remember you can always click on the photo for a larger view!)

Hope you are all doing fantastic! Today is my turn to post on the on the Pink By Design Blog and I have been wanting to try a paper piecing technique for a background using coordinating papers.

I also have been trying somethings out of my confort zone. I am more of the cutesy cricut card maker, but I have been trying to do things a little different. I hope you are all enjoying this little journey with me!!!

Birthday Blog Hop in Honor of Samantha!!!

Hello my Bloggy Friends!!!

I am so excited to be a part of this Birthday Celebration in honor of the awesome and extrememely talented Samantha!

If you have just hopped on the tour, please go to the first stop on the hop at Samantha's Cricut Creations http://www.samanthascricutcreations.blogspot.com/ . If you have arrived from http://www.craftingwithcourtney.blogspot.com/ then you are in the right place. Thanks for hopping by!

Here is a card I made using some fun techniques I have learned from my fellow crafters, I have been wanting to try them out and I finally got a chance to do it.

I put some metallic ink in my cuttlbug folder for a distrssed inked effect. I used some of my NEW ALL TIME favorite crinkle ribbon that my awesome friend Meriah has been making and selling in the Pink By Design Store. Last but not least I have been wanting to emboss image stamps and cut them out as well as layer them. I just love the glossy effect from the embossing powder. (All stamps used are from the awesome Pink By Design Stamp Collection) Well I hope you like my card!

Your next stop is the lovely Kim! CLICK HERE to hop!

Coupons, Savings, and my Mom?

:o) Hello Bloggy World!

Today I wanted to share a new upcoming blog that my mom has started with some awesome deals and coupons. She has really saved so much money by doing just a few little changes in her shopping habits and she decided to share a little about what she has learned along the way!

For those that are interested I would love for you to follow her on her blog and Facebook if you like. If you have a couple of minutes I would greatly appreciate if you could leave her a quick comment just to show her some love!

I hope you get some awesome deals out of it and I appreciate all of you for the support! Love you!

Vintage? Addicting?

Hello there!!!

I have been kind of trying out a different style and I must admit I am kind of loving it! Vintage has never really been my thing but it has been fun to mess around with some ideas.

I had to make a guy card and decided that distressing and inking really make it a whole lot easier to create manly cards. It gives it a more grungy look! I really love the way this turned out and I hope you guys like it too!

For the background on the note card I used different words from one of the Pink By Design Stamps! Do you love it? It took forever to line them up on a clear block but it was totally worth it!

To shop for Pink By Design Stamps CLICK HERE!

I was thinking of maybe doing a giveaway!!! Leave me a comment letting me know what craft item or style are you loving right now and you could with a Pink By Design Stamp of your choice!!! Looking forward to hearing from you guys and just know I love you all!!!!

Friends Blog Hop Hosted by Felicia!!!

Hello Blog Friends,

Today I am honored to be a part of this Blog Hop hosted by the super sweet and talented Felicia from Scrapper in the Making! I had the pleasure of meeting her at a local crafty garage sale and I must say she is so super sweet!!!

Now for this blog hop we had to make a card or project for a friend and dedicate the post to them. I am dedicating my post to Paula from More than Favors. She happens to be in this blog hop also. I met Paula through this little crafting community and I must say I am so glad we did. Our friendship has grown so much in the past year. She lives about 30 minutes away from me and we see each other pretty often. So to Paula: Thank you for all the times you listened and gave me advice! Thank you for all the times you made me laugh, and for the times we have fought like sisters! Thank you for your honest opinions and for always telling me like it is, I love you and I hope we are friends forever, however long that may be!

Here is the Post Card I made for her, the 2 photos below show the front and back of the card. I used all Pink By Design Stamp which you can purchase HERE. I wanted to do something a little more vintage and step out of my comfort zone. I hope you like it!!!
