PTT70 - Anything Goes

I chuckled a little when I saw this little cutie...I thought the title should be "mum's the word" because of her lack of a mouth!  Too funny...I know, I have a weird sense of humor! 

We have our popular Anything Goes challenge this week at Party Time Tuesdays!  In addition, I've used the sketch from this week's Sketch Saturday - #209...it was fun to add some texture and shape to this card! 

If you would like to join us this week at the party, you can visit HERE for more details!  Thanks for stopping by today!

We are celebrating your special day at Party Time Tuesdays...so sorry for the delay in my post!  I went back in late last night to check on it, and I had the wrong date in my post ahead option.  YIKES...where is my brain lately!  I turn 40 in a week and a half, and I believe that early onset has kicked in (hehehe). 

Our challenge this week is to use two ribbons on our cards, and we have some fabulous sponsors including:  Digi Stamp Characters; Stitchy Bear; and Sassy Studio Designs.  There are lots of fabulous prizes to be had! 

I went fairly simple with my design today, and the ribbons are layered on top of one another (Real Red satin and Night of Navy grosgrain).  The image is colored with Copic markers, and I use both Nestabilities and SU punches to accent the card.  The sentiment is from Woodware USA.

PTT51 Happy Birthday from Stampendous!

Welcome to the party!! This is our 51st challenge at Party Time Tuesdays, and we are celebrating birthdays this week! So, bring out your birthday projects and cards and join us this week HERE!

We have a wonderful sponsor this week -- Stampendous! They furnished us with a clear set of stamps, and I was able to get back into my vintage groove a bit this week! The set is aptly called Time Flies, and we were also given color fragments (mine in sage). It was fun to figure out a way to showcase them.

I built my card around the sage colored fragments, and I used it as sort of a ribbon of fragments. To adhere them, I simply ran a line of Crystal Effects from Stampin' Up across the paper. I poured it on and shook off the excess. Voila!

Thanks for stopping by today...I hope you will join the party this week!

Card Details:
Stamps: Time Flies Perfectly Clear set from Stampendous
Paper: Webster's Pages designer paper; Early Espresso and Naturals Cream from Stampin' Up

Party Time Tuesdays (PTT49) - Something New in the New Year

Our theme this week at Party Time Tuesdays is "something new" that we received over the holidays! Well, can you believe that the only craft things that I received new were two trays to hold my Cricut cartridges. Well, that doesn't translate well into a card using something new, does it? However, the images that I have used in both of my cards are new, and I have never used them. In fact, my second card is made from an image from a company that I have never worked with before. That definitely qualifies as NEW! We are being sponsored this week by the Waxed Fruit Company, and they have some awesome images! I also did a card with an image from Crafts and Me, as they are another of our sponsors this week!

We hope that you will join us this week to party with the party planners! If you would like to upload your card or find more information, please visit HERE. There are always amazing prizes to be handed out!

Stamps: (card 1) Gift of Winter by Crafts and Me; (card 2) Bunny Eggs by Waxed Fruit Company

Party Time Tuesdays #47 - Ribbons, ribbons, RIBBONS!!

Welcome to the party!! Are you all ready for the holidays, if that is what you celebrate? December always seems to be a mad dash! Our daughter still has three days of school this week with her party and a special mass being tomorrow. Unfortunately, all of her friends in public school have been out since last Friday, so she is feeling a little left out. She just keeps telling them that she gets a longer spring break than they do! Gotta love 7 year old logic!

Our challenge this week at Party Time Tuesdays is to use ribbon on our creations. We are sponsored again this week by My Mind's Eye and 3 Girl Jam, and our stamps are sponsored by

both The Greeting Farm and Bugaboo Stamps. Half of our team worked on either image. I have this adorable one from Bugaboo! I just love the little reindeer! I have kept the style of the card simple by accenting the image with the ribbon! The color of this ribbon is called Mistletoe...very apropos! If you would like to join us and have a chance to win, please upload your card HERE!

Thanks for stopping by today!

My late posts!! Partying with PTT

I'm afraid that I have to ask all of you for forgiveness. December is literally kicking my behind! I seem to barely be home, and my house is only about an eighth decorated for Christmas. I believe that this my be my craziest December on record! However, I'm trying to find some balance and not become stressed out! I refuse to act like Scrooge! That being said, I hope that all of you are enjoying the month. I'm also trying to remain centered and remember that we as a family are celebrating Jesus' birth, and that now is a perfect time to reflect on how we can share our time, talents, and bounty with those who go without.

My two above cards are for this week's and last week's (hangs head in shame) Party Time Tuesdays posts. They were featured on time on the blog, but craziness prevented me from posting them on here. We were so graciously sponsored by My Mind's Eye with a fantastic pack of paper this month. Aren't the colors gorgeous. And, we have amazing images from Paper Makeup and The Paper Shelter!! All of these sponsors are just wonderful people who make wonderful products! The last sponsor provided us with the lucious ribbon--3 Girl Jam, and the colors we were given were Holly Berry and Mistletoe! It's not too late to join in the fun and win some prizes at Party Time Tuesdays! You can enter your card HERE!

I will see you on Monday for Paper Pretties!!

PTT44 - Anything Goes

Hello! It's Tuesday, and it is time to party at Party Time Tuesdays this week! I have two cards to feature for you...my card for this week (above), and my card from last week (below). We have an anything goes challenge this week, and we are featuring some awesome stamps from Crafts and Me and products from Viva Decor! On my card above, I was able to use the Viva Decor embossing creme! Wow, it was amazing! I did have a booboo, but that was my fault! Trying to cover it up always makes for an interesting combo of things. I actually used a copper Viva Decor Pearl Pen to help hide it! The way that the embossing creme puffs up is gorgeous! The photo doesn't do it justice!

My second card features stamps from Simply Betty. I requested the mermaid, not really thinking through the fact that our challenge theme last week was snow! So, I had to get a little creative, and I created my own snow globe! Too funny! I even had to create a base for it with one of my Nestability shapes! The background paper is from a 6x6 Bo Bunny pack, and the cardstock is Marina Mist and Soft Suede.

If you would like to join us this week, you can upload your creation HERE. Thanks for stopping by today!
