"YOU ARE MY SUNSHINE"

SPRING is in the air.  I used another one of my adorable Penny Black stamps to create this spring card.  It is more like spring here in SoCal so I was in a spring kind of mood.  Of course I had to add my favorite pink gingham paper along with other patterns from the Pebbles collection.  I think it really turned out cute.  I really like the cluster of banners.  I also added some faux stitching around the inner border of the card and some stickles to give it a little sparkle.  

"Sweet Kisses!"

Today I created this adorable birthday card fora sweet friend.   I seem to create better sometimes as I'm cleaning and creating at the same time.  Tomorrow is Super Bowl Sunday and we have friends coming to watch the game with us and I needed to just pick up a bit so I decided to craft at the same time.  I usually craft and clean on Mondays.  That is my day the entire house gets a good cleaning.  I absolutely love this image.  I have always been a fan of Penny Black and I have fallen is love with these stamps all over again.  With an effort to use what I have in my stash, I pulled out the Preppy Princess stack by DCWV.  I embellished with some twine and couple of Prima flowers along with a few sequins.  The Happy Birthday sentiment is from a stamp set that I found last year at Tuesday morning.  I can't recall the brand since have since then taken it from the packaging.  Thanks so much for stopping by and leave a comment if you like.  I have some blog candy coming real soon!!  

Embellished Jars Home Decor

Okay, I really love how this project turned out and looks in my home.  I used some digital downloaded jars from an Etsy shop and embellished them with a Pebbles valentine chip pack.  Of course I had to glitter up each piece.  The background paper is American Crafts from the Target dollar spot.   This is a great way to use things that you have in your stash.  That is really one of my major goals for 2015... to use what I have or atleast love for something in my stash that could be used before buying something new.

CURATED CHRISTMAS

I decided to join in on the fun and respond to Jill Norwood's challenge to curate Christmas.  This is what I came up with.  I dedicated my back craft table as a permanment space for Christmas crafting. I absolutely love having a space where most of my Christmas embellishments are right at my finger tips when I am in the mood to make a card or some other Christmas project.  My goal is to participate in the weekly challenges that are posted on the Merry Monday blog.  Feel free to take a peek and leave a comment if you like.  Below you will find the link to Jill's Curate Christmas challenge.  I hope you are inspired to join in or just get your items ready for some holiday crafting.  Thanks for stopping by my blog today.  Here is the link to Jill's video:
