Make Life Sweet

Hope everyone is enjoying their holiday weekend!

I got a wild hair yesterday and we did some rearranging around the house

and then

we started cleaning.

We got a lot done, but by the end of the day I was pooped!!

This image from Unity Stamp Company's December Store Kit paired with

that Basic Grey Nook and Pantry paper really makes me want a cupcake!

I might have to make a trip to Cake Love Later...:-)

All products used on this card are available at

LimeLight Papercrafts!

and lookie over

HERE

to see who made my day yesterday (you have to scroll down a bit)!!

I'm going to go see if I can get some stamping done....

Fall Blessings with EAD Designs...

I hope everyone had a wonderful Christmas and

is enjoying their time with friends and family!!

We had a wonderful day, just the 4 of us. I'm happy to say the ground stayed white,

until around midnight when it started raining, LOL, now we have a big muddy lake in the yard.

I know it's winter, but I'm talking about scrapbooking.

I don't know if any of you are like me, but usually my scrapbooking is not in any kind of chronological order. I'll look through my photos, print some, and then sit down to work with them.

This picure is from a day in late October when we took a drive through Southern Maryland to enjoy the beautiful foilage of the season.

Supplies Used: EAD Designs Vinyl Rubons in "Fall" in Terracotta and Good Times in brown Paper Basic Grey Mellow

Stamp Unity Stamp Company Dec Store Kit

I always have this itch to shop the day after Christmas, but I never feel like leaving the house.

So if you're online looking to add some fun product to your stash or to find some new looks for your house

head over to the EAD Designs Store!

A CAS card to share...

CAS cards are especially a challenge for me because, well...

I have a hard time NOT adding lots of layers and ..well.. lots of crap to everything I do

BUT

these Unity images from LIMELIGHT PAPERCRAFTS seem to beg for

simple

This set The Artist in You was designed by Donna Downey for Unity

the Unity site is selling it for $60

but LIMELIGHT Papercrafts has it for $35

and if you shop soon you can use the code NOEL and

It is a winter wonderland outside today, perfect for staying in my jammies and hopefully getting some stamping done!

I'm in trouble....

I'm way behind the curve here, I know...but I just discovered

digi stamps

I haven't ever used them before yesterday.

Now I know I'm in trouble though, because I LOVE THEM!!

While blurfing around yesterday I found the sketch challenge blog

2sketches4you

They are featuring designs this week from Sassy Studio

I fell in LOVE with the images and immediately went shopping

and then I immediately started making cards...

Love instant gratification

So

here's what I came up with using the 2sketches4you sketch for this week

Supplies Used: Sassy Studio Designs Glass of Wine

Paper October Afternoon

Sentiment Verve Stamps

I colored in the image using watercolor pencils

and so I was sort of on a roll so I just kept going and made this one, I started out using the bonus sketch from 2sketches4you but it really didn't turn out looking anything like that...I'm not really sure what happened..LOL

Supplies Used: Sassy Studio Designs Cocoa Carol

Paper is Cosmo Cricket

Sentiment is Unity Stamp Company Dec Store kit

and I colored her in with watercolor pencils

I really need to get to the grocery store today, but I'd

rather stay in and color!
