Unity Pinterest Challenge

Hello friends!  Here is a card I made for the Unity Pinterest Challenge.  You can read all about it here.  I used the Itty Bitty everyday, EVERYWHERE stamp set and Sweet Paper Pals set.  I also used the zig-zag from Neopolitan Bisque Soup and the Bless Our Nest sentiment from Grandma's Needlepoint stamp set.  I used Colorbox Charcoal Chalk Ink to stamp the images onto Craft cardstock.

I believe the tiny pocket and tag are by Melissa Frances.  A small bit of burlap and some gingham fabric complete the project.  Thanks so much for stopping by.

Hugs and smiles,
Janice

Peachy Keen Challenge #4 Color Inspiration

Hello friends.  I haven't posted in a week because my first and oldest son got married on Saturday.  It was a beautiful, private wedding in Vermont.  I will post pictures when I receive them.  It was such a special, blessed event and I am so happy for my son and new daughter-in-law.  It was the perfect weekend!

I have a card for the PK challenge.  We used a photo for inspiration.  I used the Teddy Bear from PK-034 Oh Baby.

You can check out the details of the challenge here.  Thanks for stopping by.

Puppy Love

Hello Everyone!


Today I have this adorable Sweetheart Puppy die to share with you.  I think Cottage Cutz make the cutest dies!

I cut the puppy from white cardstock and colored her up with my Copics.  I think this makes a cute Valentine card but like all Cottage Cutz, they can be used in a variety of ways, by adding or removing different components from the die.  Be sure and stop by the store to browse some of the newest releases.  So many to choose from.  I just received my new dies designed by Peachy Keen and will be sharing those with you soon.  Have a great day!
Hugs and smiles,Janice

Peachy Challenge 02 Photo Inspiration

Here is my entry for the Peachy Keen challenge.  Photo Inspiration.  I used PK-240 Say It With Flowers.  The card looks much better in person.  Sorry for the poor quality photo.

You can check out the details for the challenge here.  The collection closes in about 2 hours.  Last week I got it in with 7 minutes to spare.  This week 2 hours.  Thanks Lisa for giving me a nudge again this week.

Hugs and smiles,
Janice

Home Sweet Home

Hello Friends!  I have a couple of cards to show you today.  I used dies from the Valentine release.  My first card was made with Kitty in Chair die.  Even though it was released with the Valentines, by changing the colors it can be for any occasion.  I made a living room scene and added the sentiment to the picture frame hanging on the wall.    I tend to like to make scenes.  I hope you aren't getting bored with them.

I used the Love Shack die to make my next card.  I love house dies and this one is a real cutie.  It doesn't have to be made into a Valentine.  There are so many cute dies in the store!  I hope you will take the time to have a look in the store.

I cut the house from white cardstock and  colored the images with my copics.  Have a GREAT day!

Hugs and smiles,

Janice

Peachy Keen Pocket Challenge 01

Hello Everyone!  I am trying to sneak this in just under the wire.  Hope I make it.  My camera is trying to import the photo as I type.  I made a pocket card and a little pocket that can hold a little treat.  Whew!  I just posted it with 7 minutes to spare.

I used the new PK- 295 Cupid's Sting.  I sure had fun coloring up these two little cuties!  The card on the left has a pocket made from hearts.  I mounted the cupids onto white chipboard so they are sturdier in case the little girls want to wear them as necklaces.  They would make cute refrigerator magnets too!

Thanks for the fun challenge Peachy Keen and thanks for stopping by.

Hugs and smiles,
Janice

Sending Love

Good morning friends,

Today's card features one of the new Valentine release dies called Kitty Love Mail.  Lots of really cute dies from this release, so I hope you will go take a peek.  I cut the pieces from white cardstock and colored them with Copics.  Lately I have been liking more clean and simple cards.  I placed the die cuts directly onto the card.  I made a sun from twine and also tied some twine with a bow to the card.

So what do you think?  Do you like clean and simple or do you like to see more layers?  Enjoy the rest of your week.
Hugs and smiles,Janice

Playing With My New Peachy Keen Stamps

I have a couple of cards to share with you today using my new Peachy Keen Stamps.  I used the small Angel from the Stamp of the Month club.  This is a great set with several images and face stamps on an 8 1/2" by 11" sheet.  Have you heard about the new Stamp of the Month Club?  You can read all about it here.  I signed up for it.  I think it will be lots of FUN!  Peachy Keen has lots of new changes for 2012 and the new and senior Design Team is fabulous!  I hope to join in on as many challenges as I can.  My oldest son is getting married on Feb. 11 so my posts may be few and far between until after the wedding.

I colored this sweet little Angel with my Copics and as you can see, used lots of polka dots in my design.  My second card was made with another newly released stamp set that you can find here.  PK-10 Colby and Jack Cheeseheads.  Could these stamps get any CUTER??  Kathy you ROCK!!

They were also colored with Copics and I added some glittery snow for those cold WI winters.  I am linking this to the Peachy Keen Kick Off Linky Party.  Thanks for stopping by.

Hugs and smiles,
Janice

What's Cookin'?

Good Morning Friends!  The winter has been kind of strange here this season.  Still no snow.  I do like the four seasons and wouldn't mind having a little snow.  One thing that hasn't changed with the cooler temperatures is my love of soup, and the comfort it brings on a cold winter day.

 For my card today I used the Pine Tree Forest, the 3x3 Campfire, and the 4x6 Stockpot and Veggies die.   The Stock Pot and Campfire were cut from white cardstock and colored with copics.  The trees were cut from patterned paper.  The sentiment is a Unity stamp.  You could tuck a favorite soup recipe inside this card and send it to a friend.  My husband makes some really yummy soups too!  Last week he made a very tasty bean soup with ham.  Have a great weekend!

Hugs and smiles,
Janice
