Moo-chas Gracias!

Hi Everyone!  This is just a quick post. It has been awhile since I've shared a card so I went looking through my pictures that haven't made it to the blog yet and found this one. It has been awhile since I made it, so I don't remember the details. I guess that means this one is intended to be more inspirational than anything!

The cow is from the Create A Critter cartridge. Have I mentioned I love this cartridge?
The sentiment is computer generated. I left the inside blank.

Moo-chas Gracias (thank you) to my faithful few!!!  The good news is I have made a new card and will share it this week!!! There are also lots of pictures from around the garden to share and a new pallet project!!!!

I hope everyone is well!!!

HUGS!!!

Thank you Card

After I posted the Linky Followers post I went roaming the streets of blog world. I came across some fabulous blogs. I also came across a blog that had a list of card challenges, most of the blogs I hadn't seen before.
One of the first blogs I came across in the challenge list was Unscripted Sketches. They post their new sketch on Saturdays. I was intrigued. I would often refer to sketches when scrapbooking, so why hadn't I thought to look for card sketches? I did go in search of other sketches after coming across Unscripted Sketches. I also spent a few more hours roaming the blog streets and Pinning. It seemed like the better way to spend the evening since I felt like I was fighting a cold and Jim was working. I had tried napping and didn't succeed there. I tried being creative and that didn't happen either. Thank you to all those blogs and pinning!!! oh and some Big Bang Theory reruns!

Anywho!!!!!! Back on track! Here's my card!

I just love Changito the Monkey! He is by Stampendous!

I am on a mission to get as many Changito stamps as I can. I love them ALL!!!!!

As soon as I saw the sketch I knew I wanted to use this stamp. 

I didn't know what else was going on the page, but I knew I was using this stamp!!

I used Stampin' Up watercolor pencils and the blender pen to color him in.

Here's the sketch:

Here is where you can find the link for this sketch at Unscripted Sketches!

Thank you Unscripted Sketches for the challenge!

Thanks so much for stopping by!!! I hope to see you again soon!!!

hugs ~Jen and the napping nearby Jynx.

Lots o Cards :)

Hey Everyone! Sorry for the missing in action status this week.

I have a few Valentine's to finish up and then I am done with Valentines.  This post isn't about Valentines though. It is going to be full of pictures though.

I was in Joann's the end of last week with a coupon...dangerous right?  Well it was definitely dangerous! Last week all the things I thought I needed were on sale and the coupon was good on regular and sale price items. A girl's happy place right? I challenged myself. I bought a set of K&Company diecuts and wanted to see how many cards I could make with the set.  Here's one of the sets I bought and the one featured in this post.

Here is what I did.

I didn't use all the pieces as there were some that didn't overly excite me.

The inside of the birthday card

The rest of the cards are blank on the inside.

I really like how this next one turned out. I left the sentiment space blank since I feel this card could be used for a number of things. When the time comes it will stamp it with the appropriate sentiment!

I am going to send the following card to my Grandma.

This last one is a fave too. The hydrangea look like they are tied with similar twine as the card.

I did have a handful of cuts left that no matter what I did with them I didn't like them on a card.

I kept them because they could make scrapbook page additions.

I have purchased a few other sets like this. 

I will share when I do.

Thanks for stopping by! Have a GREAT weekend!!
