Swiss Pixie Sisters

My sister wanted me to help her make a birthday card for a dear friend of her.

I was going thru my images, and I was thinking that this is the perfect time to ink up the 

Swiss Pixie Sister, and thought perfect I should enter it into the ATS "Anything Goes"challenge.

Oliver Surprise Bday Card

I rarely ever make boy birthday cards, so it was nice to finally be able to ink up Oliver from the TGF OA Surpise set

I usually enjoy making me girlie cards, but its nice to change it up once in a while.  Plus I was able to put in use some of the goodies that Kathy from Pixie Boutique gave me a couple weeks ago.

FFC- to DIE for

Today I would like to share a card I made for the FFC- to DIE for.

I don't have any of the new release dies yet, but I hope within time I would be able to get some to add to my collection.

Here is a card I put together for a friend's birthday using TGF Sitting Wonderful and I used the sentiment from the TGF OA Happy Day set.

The dies I used were from Spellbinders the Blossom and the Lacy Square set.

more calendars

The calendar has been such a big hit.  I have to thank Kathy from pixieboutique for all her help with them.

I made both calendars using TGF Miss Anya Collection

Happy Valentine's Day

Hi Blog world!  Here is wishing you a Happy Valentine's Day!  Hope whatever your doing today is extra Lovely!!!

This year for Valentine's Day I found Valentine's Day ring pops, so I decided to put together a box for the ring pops!  The only problem was, after putting together all the box I realized how am I planning on sending these boxes... So I also made Valentine's Day cards to send out.

For the box and the Valentine's Day cards I used La-La Land Heart Banner Die

and for my sentiment I used TGF OA Lovey Dovey set.

TGF Travel Anya Tumbler

Today I would like to share this amazing gift I received from a dear crafting buddy of mines, Kathy from Pixie Boutique.

I often tell Kathy is to blame for my wallet feeling lighter after showing me all the great things the craft world has to offer, but in reality it's been nothing but amazing and I love everything from my stamps to copic markers.

Kathy has been amazing buddy thru out all these years, besides being a great crafting buddy she's been nothing short of being amazing friend seeing me thru my good times and bad times.

I can't wait to continue our crafting journey together!!!

Years ago, we got together like we always do when we have a project in mind to accomplish.

We each made a tumbler, but shortly after I dropped mine and I never got around to making a new one.  One day, Kathy surprised me a bag of crafting goodies, and in the bag was a custom made tumbler, almost exactly the same as the one I broke years ago, but million times better!!!

Here is the picture of the tumbler Kathy made for me using TGF Travel Anya

FFC Buttons and Baker's Twine

Here is a card that I submitted to TGF FFC buttons and Baker's twine using TGF OA Lovey Dovey set.

I have to say this has been my favorite OA set.  I can be biased, considering I love everything with hearts. Since this was my favorite I couldn't resist inking her up for my hubbie's vday card.  Since the theme was buttons and Baker's twine, I figured it was perfect to pull out the heart buttons I got at Michaels not to long ago.

FFC - Ribbon and/or Lace

I was very excited that one of my first TGF FFC I was selected as the random winner.
So hopefully with such a great start, I can some how find more time to craft and enter into more challenges.
Here is a card I made using TGF Angel Anya for the TGF FFC using Ribbon and/or lace. 

I have to say Angel Anya was one of the first TGF images that started me in the inking world. 

Life gets quite busy, and at times its so hard to ink up all the new stamps each month, let alone go back to some of oldies but goodies!!!
