Anything Goes~

It's time for another new challenge over at DoubleClick Skittles, for challenge #5 we are doing the theme "Anything Goes".  Now this is super easy for all of you, get your recent card or project and come join in on this fun challenge.   We would love to see what you've made and share it with the rest of us.    Here is my card using one of my fave images from

Polly Craft (Little Sprout).  I had her colored up with copic and Stampin Up markers.  My papers are from the paper pad (In the Garden), sentiment is from Kaiser Craft and my fave embellies is skittles (HazelNut).   If you don't know what skittles are you can purchase them here .   They are super easy to apply on just dab some diamond glaze or hot glue and they stick on so quickly.   

Enjoy your crafty moments and see ya back here again soon!

Sending my Love!

Sharing a quick post of a card I just made this evening~ We've been busy doing some home improvements again and that has been taking some of my crafting  time away.   Hubby is on vacay this week and we figure this would be the perfect time to catch up with some needy things we had on a wishlist that we've been procrastinating for sometime, LOL!
We just completed repainting our dining and living room area, it was quite a task but it's fresh and looks awesome.   Now,  it's going to be my craft room  - boy this is going to be one nightmare.  I'm going with  gray and maroon stripes - I think it will make my room pop! What do you think? hehe!  
Well here's my card ~ 

I'm behind in commenting since this past Friday - please pardon me if I've missed stopping by I will try to catch up when I'm back in a few days.   
Enjoy your crafty moments !

Another calendar gift!

Another calendar that I did this morning, this is for my doctor's nurse so she can put it on her desk.   Every time we meet up we have so much laughter and get caught up with everyone else's business.   She's just hilarious and always in a spunky mood!   For this calendar I changed the dimensions and made it a bit taller just so that the flower die could be matted perfectly on it.  I also paper piece the flower that was a bit tedious, a little patience and a steady hand is all  that's needed, LOL!  To give it a surreal look I added some pit moss to the flower pot.  I also had the flower pot embossed.  In real it's just totally pretty, I think  she is going to blow her mind when I give this to her soon.   The papers on the butterfly were bits of scraps from my stash and the backing paper is from DoveCraft.  I also added some wee rhinestones on the butterflies to add some sparkly effects.  My ladybug was added on to a mini clothes pin.   It's just adorable....

Oki doki - see ya back here soon~

Hillbilly Holler Dog!

Here's another card for my stash box - this is one of my latest stamp set that I got from PK last week.   Love when they get their awesome sales at times, LOL!

Hello Panda!

Hope everyone had a wonderful 3-day weekend!  We've accomplished a lot over  the weekend, from general house cleaning, to re-painting, hubby made smoke meat, I did beef jerky and yet I still found time to craft in the evenings..  Boy was it hot & muggy too!
Being that we live right off the main highway I swear we counted packs of hundreds of motorcycles.  Usually on certain holidays they ride in packs and cruise  the Eastern side of my island taking the beach cruise from Kalapana to Pohiki . 
Anyhow here's a card that I whipped up this afternoon, I just love those pandas from Kitty Bee Designs.  BTW don't forget their Halloween  blog hop is still going on now so if you haven't had a chance to check it out yet I suggest you do so before their special ends on Sept. 5th go read the deets here.
For my card my digital image is called Hello Panda - cute yah!
Gave my card a little oriental flair to it - sending this off to a great family friend of ours.
