King of the road...

Have you gotten any stamps from the new release yet? I just love love love Nami's new designs. And seriously, can you ever have enough chickies????

When I saw this little race car chickie, I just knew the first thing I'd create is a cute little scene.

I was going to stamp the sentiment over in the bottom right hand corner but then got to thinking how cute it would be trailing from the car itself. I just used a colored toothpick as a flag pole and attached it to the little banner and glued it to the car with a drop of Crystal Lacquer. I then attached the car using foam tape to give it a little dimension.

Have a great day and thanks so much for stopping by!

I can see clearly now...

Hello everyone,

This morning I have a card to share with you that I made for the latest CAS-ual Friday challenge.

CFC57: Create a Clean And Simple project using acetate or vellum

Since Wednesday was the first day of summer I decided to make a little something in celebration....

Fun colors and flowers that just scream "Welcome Summer"! I used aquamarine iridescent cardstock for my card base but I lined the inside with white cardstock for stability since it's rather thin. I used a 2" Marvy scalloped circle punch to make my little window and added a layer of acetate. I couldn't manage to capture the acetate in any of the pictures I took...trust me, it's there ;)

I'll see ya back here tomorrow with a little card I made using the color palette for our current challenge right here on the Addict blog. Have a great day!

Teeny yellow flowers

Hello everyone,

I've really enjoyed playing with the color combo for DeNami's current challenge, that naturally when Lawnscaping announced their new color splash challenge I knew exactly what I wanted to do! Don't ya just love when something comes together like that?

 Well, here's my card...

I used 6 different shades of grey {ha ha, good series ;) } markers to make the ombre chevrons. I've wanted to try something like this for quite a while now and I finally had the perfect excuse :)

I hope you like my take on these challenges, thanks for stopping by!

bright & fun Mother's Day card

Hello everyone! Today I have another Mother's Day card for you. I decided to brighten it up a bit this time around by using my favorite DeNami cardstock color...magenta.

Gosh, ya just can't help but love the new spring line can you?? Nami outdid herself with all of the flower options!!!

Please leave me a comment and let me know what you think....good or bad....or even better - what would you have done differently??...crafty minds wanna know!

Flowers for Mother's Day

Can you believe it's May, I mean where has 2012 gone already?? That means Mother's Day is approaching fast. Hmm, time to start thinking about designs....

I stamped the border upside down and put the punched edge at the top...was thinking they were kind of like little clouds that way. To make the grass, I used a couple of different shades of greens and a couple of different stamps...the mini grass stamp and the stems from the new Garden Flowers cling set to make it look less uniform and more like random grasses.

Spring is on it's way....FINALLY

Have ya'll had a chance to check out the new DeNami line yet?? The spring release is...dare I say it...Ohh, I dare! Springingly fresh and fun! I know...way cheesey, but ohh so true! Lots of flowers and ways to use them...what fun!!!

I decided to start off with this ADORABLE basket and fill it with pretty little flowers. I know ya'll get tired of me using this color combo...but I puffy heart it!!

I also can't get enough of the new borders / background type stamps...I'm a sucker for those! I was a fussy cutting fool when it came to this card. Yes, I could have just stamped them using a mask, but the deminison I ended up with is too cute.
