Making something I found on Pintrest

Trying out something I had pinned so many months ago.  I was beginning to get a guilty feeling each   time I logged into pintrest.  Seeing those pins pile up, and not being used was making me feel bad. So I decided to finally get to making something. Here is what I decided to make, a little something for my craft room. Hope you like it.

***Sushi Dolls Design team Call**

Ok I am so excited and extremely nervous to unveil my entry for the Sushi dolls design team call. I have literally never worked so hard on a card in my life! It was intense.  I have never worked with a digital image before.  I was so worried about it I think I almost scared myself out of doing the DT call.  But alas, I didn't allow my fear to overcome my desire to participate. Plus it was great that digital images are like super easy :) I wanted to find just the right papers, embellishments etc to go along with the adorable image I purchased from Susie.  Susie is an avid Youtuber and an all around Funny gal. I always get a laugh out of her videos she's great.  Here are the links to her YT channel, her blog and the Sushi Dolls Blog, where you can purchase these cute images.

I chose the "For Always" paper Collection from CTMH! I love the color combo in this collection it is so pretty. I also wanted to make the card unique so I searched around Pintrest and found this Twisted easel card tutorial. I was all about trying new things, I decide to try my hand at my first ever easel card. I know, crazy amount of firsts on this card. I hope you like it Susie! I embellished more that what I normally do but I really am happy with the way it all turned out. It was so much fun working with this little girl image. She is just Precious. Thanks for the Opportunity Susie and good luck to all those participating!

Card Crazy Class

Hi all! I had to share a couple of pics of the cards I recently made for a class I titled "Card Crazy"
So I know your dying to know why I called "Card Crazy" right?  Well I will tell you, It is because I created 4 different cards, and each participant did 4 of each of the 4 designs. So basically each person walked away with 16 Cards. So not only was it crazy, to cut all the material for that but it was crazy how much fun we had putting them together.  I loved designing the samples, the preparation too a lot longer than I thought but it was so worth it. I hope you all enjoy and that it can give you some inspiration!
Take care all!

MME Home Collection layout

Just  a quick post to share a layout I have been working on. This layout was made using the Home glitter collection from My Minds Eye. I have been trying my "darndest" to use some of the many, many, many, (many, you get the idea) paper stacks. This layout doesn't begin to put a dent in the stack but it is a start. Hope you like it.

Authentique Spring cards & banner

In my last post I shared the mini album using Authentique's Spring paper line.  And wouldn't you know it , as soon as I hit save I remembered I made cards and a little banner with this too.  I have to tell ya'll that when I saw this paper line the colors were not something that normally catch my fancy, maybe it was because it was Authentique and I had to have it, I don't know but boy am I glad I did.  The colors totally grew on me. So last but not least here are my Cards. Enjoy and please leave a comment let me know you stopped by :0)

Authentique Spring paper collection

Hi there everyone. Happy Spring!
As I have probably mentioned a few times I am a bit of an Authentique paper co. Fan!
I was lucky enough to get my hands on some of their beautiful spring paper.  I was even luckier that I was able to design something with it for my LSS. I hope you guys like it. You can see the video walk thru over on my YT channel. Below are some pictures:
