Dog days of summer

Doggy wants to go to bed...I reluctantly give in. :)

Mojo Monday 248

Hello Hello -

I have two posts for today actually :) The second is my card for this week's Mojo Monday Sketch. I've had quite a bit of time in between loads of laundry to do some crafting this weekend :)

The sentiment is from My Favorite Things "Big Greetings". I used patterned paper from SU! (retired - it was a full 12X12 pad from a few mini-catalogs ago). Ribbon is also from SU! (Purely Pomegranate  Double Stitched) I also used a mini EK-Sucess Cupcake Punch, Spellbinders Ovals Dies, and SU! Scalloped Edge Punch.

Here is the sketch below:

Thanks again for stopping by today! Hugs ~ LJ

MFTWSC79

Hello Hello ~

Today's card is for MFT Sketch #79.

For my card I used the adorable PI Image - Make Mine a Double from My Favorite Things (MFT).  I paper priced the dress and colored the rest of the image in with Copic Markers. Pattern Paper is from Basic Grey (6X6 Hopscotch Pad). 

The sketch is below for those that would like to try it out and upload it to the MFT SCS Gallery

PTI Swap

Hello ~ Hello. 

Sorry I haven't been posting lately. I've been on a baseball vacation for 10 days......3800 miles, from Chicago to Miami and back. Great trip. :) Always love going to baseball games no matter who is playing (I did get to see my favorite team, the Chicago Cubs twice!) 

So today I have two things to share, a card and a tag, both were for a PTI Swap I was in recently. 

First here is the tag. I used Everyday Button Bits & Up, Up and Away. The patterned paper is from american crafts, the tag was pre-bought from a craft store, ribbon from SU!, and button from SU! 

Here is the card (which was for a general card category)

for this card I used stamps from PTI (On the Farm), patterned paper from Reminiscence, Brads from Basic Grey, and Ribbon from SU!

It's REALLY hot here (like it is around a lot of the country) so I will be crafting some more this weekend. Thanks for stopping by!

PTI Button Tag

Hello Hello

Hope you are all having a fantastic Sunday! Here is a button tag I created yesterday morning with stamps and dies from PTI. The set I used is called Button Boutique. I have had the set for awhile, but just recently got the coordinating dies that go with the set! The patterned paper are just some scraps from Graphic 45 (ABC Primer Collection) leftover from another card I made.

Thanks for stopping by! Hugs ~ LJ

SFYTT June 2012

Hello ~ Hello! 

Here is my card for this month's Sketch For You To Try.  I used some of my new PTI Stamps - On The Farm. I bought the dies with the stamp set, so the horse was super easy. The patterned paper is from My Mind's Eye, ribbon from American Crafts, bling brads from SU! 

Thanks for stopping by! Have a great day! Hugs ~ LJ

Dueling Divas

Hello ~ Hello

Here is my card for this month's dueling divas kit challenge - this month's hostess was Jamie.  This month's theme is masculine in honor of all the great men in our lives :) Of course my Dad would be the great guy in my life. :) He's always there encouraging me and supporting me when I need it the most (and also keeping me "grounded" which is not always so easy to do).

Jamie sent us a fun kit with images from SU! Open Sea. I really liked the boat image so that is what I went with. I used most of the adorable DSP that is from Bo Bunny. The only thing added to the card NOT from the kit is the blue cloud, which I punched out.

Here is the inside of my card:

I hope you enjoyed my post for the day.......be sure to check out all the rest of the Duel (note you may need to scroll down a bit on their blogs, since I am posting 2 days late this month) :(
