I had originally made this card 6 x 3 3/4″ but it seemed too long, something was missing. So I cut it town to about 4 1/4 x 3 1/4″. I thought it was ok, since it still fits in an envelope…right? Lol! I’ve had fun with this grow a garden set!

Hello!! I hope you’ve all had a great weekend! Still inspired by the Ways to use it challenge on Thursday, I made another Archaic card with the Archaic Rubon’s!

Hello!! Hope you’re all having a beautiful Spring day like we are today! I bought this stamp for my little guy last year at Archivers. I think it’s so cute, but I never used it. However, then the second I laid eyes on the new Daisy D Bambino paper I knew it would finally be put to use! lol. So my friend Lynda and I decided it was time to whip out some of our new products and use them! You can see her’s HERE! I hope you enjoy what we’ve done!

Hello!! Happy St. Patrick’s Day! I hope you’re all wearing green! My little guy needed to make a Leprechaun trap for his preschool today. When I first heard this I was a little scared to say the least lol. But then my mom reminded me that I could just decorate something! So I did! My friend Rachel and I went out to Archivers and Craft Warehouse and found some DARLING paper, embellies and a clear paint can. I figured that will work, if he catches a Leprechaun he can just put the lid on it! It was so cute…when we were making it he suggested we make some stairs so they could get IN the pail! So cute!

This was really easy to make. I just cut the paper to size for the inside. Added the NEW Queen and Company Shamrock feltto the top and slipped it in. Then on the outside, I added some thick white velvet ribbon and some green shiny pipe cleaner for some shine! (that’s what I wrapped the handle with too) On the top I put some other shiny shamrock paper on it an more pipe cleaner to fill a gap in the lid. I then added the adorable EK Success pot of gold! Since I already had the paper out I decided to make a quick card! Here it is!

All main images are EK Success, Ribbon (May Arts) Brads (Stampin’ Up!) Shamrock and Striped paper (Reminisce) Polkadot Paper (Creative Imaginations)

I hadn’t used my Cosmo Cricket Halfway Cafe collection in awhile, so I thought it would be a good time!! I distressed all the edges in black ink. I was SOOOO excited, while cleaning a week or so ago I found that cute little cowboy boot charm!! I bought it a few years ago when my friends and I hit a local scrapbook store! Cleaning ROCKS! lol!!!! The finished size is 8 x 4″. I really hope you enjoy our cards!! Make sure to check Anna’s out too, she always knocks my socks off!!

Hello!! Using Metallic Cardstock was the “ways to use it” challenge on Splitcoaststampers today! I knew right away I HAD to use my Websters Dufex paper!! I love this stuff!! It’s sooooo shiny!!!! You can purchase it HERE. I’ve wanted to use these darling Melissa Frances stickers for so long, so I finally did! I LOVE Melissa Frances!! These cardstock stickers are SO nice! They are nice and thick, just fabulous!! The paper I used as the main piece is the Urban Lily Snowflake Paper. I used one of the corners, to get more snowflakes. I am just LOVIN’ the Urban Lily!! lol. When I was done with the main pieces of the card I was looking through some embellishments and found my BLING! I love bling, so I added the row of Hero Arts Rhinestones, Making Memories Snowflake Brads (I love those things) then I found and used my Inkadinkado Merry Christmas!  The ribbon is by May Arts, It’s white with a Silver edge! So pretty! I finished it off with some crystal stickles!

I hope you enjoy it! I know there is not much stamping, but it just screams cold winters day to me! Have a wonderful day!! Thank you so much for stopping by!! HUGS!!
