BOO CARROT SHOP AT THE COFFEE SHOP

Good morning to all,  I am so excited today as we are expecting a visit from Baby Alice and mom and dad too. It's been a whole 2 weeks since we saw her last...(sigh). All my 3 kids will be here too. Max, Corryn and David. So it's going to be a filled day. So, I should go on and tell you the story of this pretty girl sipping coffee and wondering if someone is going to join her, maybe a friend is meeting her...If you want to get yourself one of these to play, just stop by Deena's Etsy shop and look for the  COFFEE GIRL. 

I made this card inspired by Julie's (justwritedesigns) card, because she is our Queen for the Day at SCS. I love her work, I know I am not the only one. Every little detail of her cards is stunning to me. I also did the IC and used Boo Carrot Shop - girl paintings as inspiration because the girls in the paintings and my image have somewhat of an innocent expression to them and the fact that they are sitting and taken from the waist up. 

Hope you enjoy your Sunday, mine promises to be filled with new memories! LOL

FREE FOR ALL EAT SLEEP MADNESS

Here are a few cards I made with the Midnight madness sketch. I always love their sketches,and I loved using it in a slightly varied way.  I also entered these in the Free for all on SCS today as Dawn suggested we post our most "dazzling cards", so I did.


The first card I made with an image from the web. I really can't remember where. Will have a look and let you know later.

I love Mo's digital Pencil, they are new from yesterday, I mean, I bought them yesterday. Just had a ball walking through her website that it did distract from actually making more cards! LOL The next three cards are made with her images.

Hockey boy

Mr. Fix it

 Paul Texting

This last card I  made with Tracy's easy peasy and so pretty sketch 
over at Eat Sleep Stamp,
and  used an image of a boy and dog by Heather Ellis. 
He is up there with my faves of hers.

This is a long post, so thank you for dropping by and if you leave some love....well, I just love you right back, if you don't well...I love you anyways! LOL

Hugs from your friendly neighborhood nutty cardmaker, me, Peggy :)

CRAFTY CREATIONS CHALLENGE #141- LEAVES

Hello to all, It is another beautiful wednesday here in my little town. It's a crisp 3 degrees in  celsius here (37Farenheit ) and I am still smiling. Why you may ask...well of course it's because I have another Crafty Creations Challenge card for you to see and this week Jaime is hosting and wants us to play with leaves. I had these beautiful stickers and thought they would work well with this dp and kraft cardstock I got just last week while out shopping with my little friend Deena. (he, he, he) We did good! Now if you want to join us, all you have to do is make a card with leaves of any kind and link it up for all to see.

Our sponsor this week is:

So make sure you add the keywords CCCW141 if you link up to Splitcoaststamper.

Have fun and enjoy the day, always glad to see you drop by.

PTT#39- PARTY TIME TUESDAYS - ANYTHING GOES

SQUIGGLEFLY GIVEAWAY & COME ANG GET IT CHALLENGE

Please don't forget to scroll down for my

 PARTY TIME TUESDAY POST!

 Hello all! Today I am showing you a few cards. My first one is made for the HYCCT1116- To simply use a ribbon on our card.  I have been experiencing real joy creating each card, and I put alot of thought and love in them. I sometimes stop and think how cancer patients will have a moment of delight when recieving one and that is all the fuel I need to get to the next one. I have done 6 now and as I said before, I am doubling  the number of cards I am sending out this year, so I have 6 left. YAY! I really can't wait to send them all out! So if you want to join us by donating a few or maybe just one card, believe me it will make a difference, imagine if twenty thousand of us would donate only one...food for thought and action.

Enjoy your day and keep well!

I used Snow bunny  Bella for this card and the COME AND GET IT CHALLENGE's sketch.

I used Hero Arts silhouette women for this birthday card, and used  the same sketch because I really love it!

HOPE YOU CAN CLING TO MADNESS

Hello to all! I have yet made another card for the HYCCT challenges. I did Lee's challenge;You're my inspiration. I used the colors as inspiration and added a few more which inspired me.
I waited long enough to buy this cute and inspired Hope fights digital stamp from Whimsie doodles. Boy and I glad I indulged myself a bit and for a good cause too. All the money is donated to cancer research and...I love her!


Also used the Midnight Madness sketch challenge for this one!


I added a few close-ups because I used Amy's photographing tips you can find here: Photographing your papercrafts projects.

The little bandana is an extra and I paper pieced it to add a little dimension.

 I usually don't show close-ups, but I was so proud of how the pants came out so crisp and clean. No, I didn't wash them, I just didn't colour them in. 
(Guess you figured that out, but I had to be silly.)




That's 5 done and 7 to go! I am sending them all to the MD Anderson Cancer Center when I'm done.

Well, I am glad you could stop by today! Always fun to see what you have to say.
Hugs from me, Peggy, your favorite nutty cardmaker.

DEENA'S HOPE BRANCH - HOPE YOU CAN CLING TO - Inspiration challenge

Here is card I made for the HYCCT108-Hang in there. Technically, I have THE ribbon hanging from the branch right. And had to use Deena's HOPE BRANCH when I saw this Gillian Fullard' Flora and Fauna'sskin from the IC. Check out Deena's blog. She is giving out a free digital image when you purchase the HOPE BRANCH image I used.


I used Tracy's Sketchy Thursday's sketch, I just love them. It comes from BLD's blog hop...

Thank you for looking and enjoy the day. I will be spending some of the day reading. 

This is another Deena image, it's called PREGNANT GIRL. Isn't she lovely, she inspired me to use the same colors for this baby card.
