DEENA & COFFEE

Good evening, I have a fun little cas card to share with you all tonight. As I spent the day with Deena (moonrise) today. We had a ball as usual and we shared coffee (3 for me!!! aye, yaye, yaye, but gee, they were superb) and how good it feels to be crafting with a dear friend. We tried to get together before and I guess life got in the way but seeing her gentle smile and hospitable ways made me feel like I was there yesterday. That is how Deena makes me feel. So good to see you my dear friend.xo

The deets are in Deena's description you can see it here, along with her beautiful version of it: Deena's card

Deena gave me this cool glitter pen and once at home I thought to add some glitter to my card. I love it.

Thank you for stopping by, :)Peggy

A DAY FOR DAISIES VALENTINE CARDS

Hello everyone,

Beautiful monday! Out for a walk snowy and early this morning. Got back and got caught up on some reading which was so cool. I did want to post these little Valentine cards inspired by this image for A day for daisies challenge using pretty pastel colors and this week sketch challenge on SCS. Used some pretty Echo park papers - Victoria Gardens. Love 'em!

EAT SLEEP STAMP & BALLERINA INSPIRED

Here I am on this beautiful rainy Saturday morning with some time to craft before I leave for some grocery shopping. I just love the Inspiration challenge and love to play along. This week Anne has this fun website called Close to my art, I picked this cute Ballerina's colours as inspiration for my card. I used Tracy's Sketchy Thursday's challenge at East Sleep Stamp blog. She is thinking of quitting it, and I just love her sketches, so I was thinking maybe if you are interested in cool sketches you could stop by and play along it would mean alot to me and Tracy I am sure. My image is Angelina's balloons from Mo's digital pencil.  I added little stickles in her hair to make it look like the static from her hair. He, he, he!


This is Tracy's card I used as inspiration, sketch and all!

Thank you for looking and enjoy the day everybody. I wish everybody a very happy new year, love, health and alot of creativity.

:)Peggy

LET'S HEAT IT UP - Crafty creations challenge #151

Hello and a happy new year to all! I am so glad to have come back rested and happy from the holidays. I did visit family and friends, but things were mostly quiet around here and I really needed it because gee, did it ever feel good.

Now back to our new year and first challenge at Crafty Creations Challenge. We should be getting colder weather anytime now as we often get in January, so we thought maybe we could HEAT things up a bit by using heat embossing on our cards or any project. 

We have Patties Creations as our sponsor this week, with a fun prize for our winner too.  I used her so cute baby mine digital image for my card. My embossing is then sentiment, I used rangers gold ep. Also paper pieced the bonnet and little top and added a little white funflock to the "nappy" to make it look like a cotton diaper, and little baby shoe too.

My sketch is from CardPatterns, love it's simplicity.

Skipping stones & Touch twin markers

Hello to all,

Again, here are some holiday cards. Just thinking that I wasn't good at making Christmas cards in advance or even much on time for it this year. I need to commit to at least one a week, that could make a serious stash when it comes around again...food for thought.

'Till then, this is a card I made for Skipping Stones designs sketch #108 and Touch Twin Markers and more color challenges

I also made this cute Christmas in Lavender & Grey card with Beccy's precious image called Mum's Coat at Beccy's Place.

Wishing you a beautiful holiday season!

:)Peggy

LATE CHRISTMAS CARDS

Here are a couple of late Christmas cards I made for sweet little girls I know. One lives close and the other one is far away. I just love the sketch I used inspired from Vicky's card.

The image here is from Crafty Sentiments and her name is Blitz. I just love playing with her. I added some sparkleon the oute and some inner lines as I was inspired by this beautiful sparkly snowman I saw this morning on Sammibug's blog. She is one of Party Time Tuesdays Top VIP's card.

I also entered my card in this week's Color challenge on SCS...well it is in my favorite colors of blue! This of course, is one of my faves from Heather Ellis's PI. It's a stamp set from My favorite things - Flurry of love. The papers are DCWV - The Winter Combo and the sketch is from Vicky inspired by a cool sketch I can't find now on her blog.

I want to wish you a happy new year. Love, health and prosperity!

MOJO ESKIMOS

Hello to all,

It looks like we are having bits of snow today. We are looking at a few centimers of accumulation...yeah, well, I will take all the snow I can get. :) It's been a while since I played Mojo Monday and by the number  218 of the sketch...it's been longer than I thought. So I took out Mo Manning's Siku and Shiya to accompany my little playtime yesterday. Took me all day as I wasn't in my best disposition...lack of sleep. Missed out on my playdate with Deena (booh ooh oooh). But I am much better today.

Also used Mary's tutorial for a rosette snowflake. Loved it but did not have that cool punch she has. :) Thank you!

I had to show you what I did on wednesday though, I babysat little Alice and we had a beautiful time together. She is sooo precious. She is a whole 2 and a half month on these pics. Aaaaaaaaaah...she is growing so fast.
