My Sweet Girls

Hello, dear friends!  I don't have a card to share with you all today.  I totally planned on making a card for the new challenge that started today at Word Art Wednesday, but when I went to work on my cart, I quickly learned that our printer was out of black ink, and I wasn't able to get one created.  I went out and bought the new ribbon this morning, but I need my son to put it in for me (I'm so lost when it comes to those things).  So, to make my long story short, I don't have a card.  But there's lots of great inspiration over on the Word Art Wednesday blog and YOU can play along for your chance to win a 15 pound prize to Heffy Doodle.  How cute is there stuff?  LOVE💗

What I would like to share with you today is LOTS of exciting news!  First, I'm sharing two photos of my sweet granddaughter, Taylee.  She was just introduced to Gerber 1st Foods.  Above, you can see her getting her first taste of bananas.  Most babies LOVE the bananas and fruits.  But Taylee's favorite?   It's a bit more unexpected.

Green Beans!!  She LOVES them.  In fact, as you can see in the photo above, she grabbed the spoon right out of Mama's hand and held if for herself.  She was smacking her chops, and couldn't get enough of those good....GREEN BEANS?  Hey, I'm glad she has a healthy palette.  Personally, I'd prefer the bananas, but...we're all entitled to our own opinions.  Well, as a new Mom my sweet Andrea is doing an amazing job.  But as you can imagine, diapers, formula, food, medications, etc. all start weighing on the young couple.  We've ALL been there!  So...Andrea is having a BIG SALE in her sweet Etsy Shop hoping to make some sales to keep her going.  Here's the link to AJM Designs by Andrea.  No coupon is needed...EVERYTHING is 25% OFF!  There's lots of great hand-made jewelry including bracelets, earrings, necklaces and more.  It might be a great time to pick up a Birthday, Christmas gift, etc. or even something for yourself.  Andrea (and I, of course) would certainly appreciate it.

Also, if you're playing along at Word Art Wednesday, you may have seen the comment I left telling how how to win some vintage laces, trims, embellishments and goodies from me.  Just visit our sponsor, Heffy Doodle, and then leave me a comment telling me the name of your favorite Heffy Doodle product.  You'll automatically be entered to win this FUN prize package.  Thanks so much for stopping by.

Cards Need Really Reasonable Ribbon

Hello to all of you paper-crafty, ribbon and flower loving friends!  Welcome by today as I share a series of cards I created for Really Reasonable Ribbon using a sweet line called Spring Market by Carta Bella.  I made several cards using this line, and as always....the cards are much sweeter when I've added some of the lovely touches from Really Reasonable Ribbon.  I won't repeat the patterned papers, stickers, ephemera, chipboard, etc. for each card because every single one in this post uses that same Carta Bella Spring Market line.  I'll just let y'all know which RRR products I used on each card.  And I'll tell you this...Really Reasonable Ribbon ALWAYS has the perfect ribbons, trims, Mulberry Flowers and Embellishments to match everything we make.

Like all of my cards, this first card (above) was put together using strips of Scor-Tape; a fabulous Adhesive to help hold together your cards and projects for many years to come.  This first card also includes a length of the lovely Moss Green Seam Binding.

My second card includes some Mulberry Flowers including the Miniature Ivory Sweetheart Blossoms as well as Mixed Pink Sweetheart Blossoms.  I also bundled up some Ivory Burlap String and placed it underneath each flower cluster.  Did you know that we carry nearly 20 colors of Burlap String?  It's another fabulous trim that costs just ten cents per yard, and is the perfect touch for SO many products. 

Card number three includes Cream Seam Binding, some Moss Green Seam Binding, Open Roses, Miniature Ivory Sweetheart Blossoms and Miniature Pink Sweetheart Blossoms.  I also tucked in a few Double-Head Stamens.  I love them SO much!

My fourth card includes some White Seam Binding, Vivid Pink Seam Binding, and to perfectly match the colors in my sweet patterned papers, I used lots of GORGEOUS Sweetheart Blossoms including lots of flowers from the Miniature Sweetheart Blossoms in Mixed Purples/Lilacs a WOC Green Mulberry Leaf, as well as Ivory Burlap String and (once again) lots of wonderful Double-Head Stamens.

The fifth card I'm sharing today incorporates my bow using a length of Cream Seam Binding, and just one lonely little Mixed Pink Sweetheart Blossom.  It doesn't matter if you use a little bit of embellishing or a whole lot.  Each card has some little touch of goodness from Really Reasonable Ribbon.

My sixth and final card for today uses just one extra touch.....and that would be the sweet little pieces of Solid Cream Baker's Twine tied from my three tags.  This AMAZING trim comes in over 30 gorgeous colors and costs just ten cents ($0.10) per yard.  There's a perfect color for every project and it's got so many fabulous uses.  You'd be surprised just how REASONABLE the products at Really Reasonable Ribbon really are.  Not only do they carry an awesome selection, but prices are low and shipping is very reasonable.  Today is a great day to treat yourself!

Thanks so much for stopping by.  I sure hope you'll join us in two short days from now for the monthly Really Reasonable Ribbon Blog Hop.  YOU could be the lucky winner of the gorgeous Ribbon Club Assortment this month.  I hope to see you there.  There's always something FUN happening at Really Reasonable Ribbon.

I'm sharing my cards (well, one anyway) in the following:

Mod Squad Challenge Blog - Challenge: Green, Green Everywhere - My cards (numbers 1 and 3 above) both have lots of green; but I entered the first card (at top of page).

Green, Green Everywhere

Well, here we are in March already.  It seems that the older I get, the faster time seems to pass by me.  Our precious little granddaughter, Taylee, is already going on five months.  I miss her every day, and can't believe how quickly she's growing, learning and changing.  What a blessing to watch our daughter enjoying her own little one as much as we enjoyed watching her grow and develop into the beautiful lady God planned for her to be.  It's a blessing like no other, and we're so excited to see what the Lord has planned for Taylee's life.

I made this sweet little card today using some patterned papers and stickers from Echo Park (Reflections Collection by Lori Whitlock), JilliBean Soup ephemera, half a die-cut doily, a sentiment die-cut (thanks) from Studio Calico, lots of Really Reasonable Ribbon products including the Mulberry Leaf, Natural Crochet Lace, Stamens and Mulberry Flowers, Seam Binding, and Green Burlap Ribbon.

Lots of green as you can see.  And that was inspired by the fun challenge over at Mod Squad.  I love to play along in challenges when I'm able, and I was honored to earn a Top 3 honor in their last challenge.  Now, I forge forward hoping for an actual "win", which hasn't happened for me in a very very long time.  But a girl can dream...and create, and keep trying.  If we didn't have to struggle a bit, it would be called a "Challenge" now, would it?  Thanks for joining me on my crafty journey.

Blessings,
Karen

Stamping's Fun With Joy Clair Stamps

It's always SO much fun to pull out my Joy Clair Stamps and create something wonderful.  I love learning new stamping techniques, and finding different ways to use all the amazing stamps carried at Joy Clair Stamps.   I am a HUGE fan of their vast selection of Custom Stamps such as oodles of cute Return Address Stamps, Personalized Stamps, and SO many other awesome choices.  It's truly the best selection of adorable personalized stamps I've ever seen in one shop.  OK.....I'm rambling.  Let's talk about the newest Joy Clair Stamps I used on this project.

This sweet little journal page (in my day planner) was created using a sentiment (Blessings) from a set called Martha's Flowers, and the flowers are from the Easter Greeting Stamp Set.  I stamped the word Blessings on this page so that I could start making a list of ALL the BLESSINGS in my life (and there are many).  I just love the versatility of these stamp sets.  They can be used to create fabulous cards, stunning scrapbook pages, encouraging Bible journalling, and SO much more.  I also created a sweet little bookmark using a sentiment from the Reckless Love Stamp Set.

I colored the flowers with my Copics and did some shading, and then I fussy cut them to place on the page.  If you're not into fussy cutting, the images can be stamped directly onto your page or card, etc.  They're so easy to use and SO much fun.

Before I run off today, I also wanted to share two more quick cards with you that I created using some patterned papers and stickers from a Crate Paper line called Portraits.  The card above uses a sentiment (Thank You) from the Spring Stroll Stamp Set.  The second card, shown below, uses a sentiment (Thinking of You) from the Martha's Flowers Stamp Set.  All of the stamp sets at Joy Clair have darling images and sentiments to help you make the most of your stamps.

We hope that you will be encouraged by the projects we share each day, and that you will treat yourself to some wonderful Joy Clair Stamps.  Happy crafting, everyone, and thanks for stopping by today.

Sweet Stripes

I'm having fun this week playing along in the Mod Squad Challenge where the theme this week is STRIPES.  I'm pretty sure we all have oodles of stripes in our stash, so why not create something new for this fun challenge?   I had created a similar card this past week for my inspiration card in the new challenge at Word Art Wednesday and I decided to use these similar papers again to create this card for the Mod Squad Challenge.

I used a sentiment stamp from Stamp Simply Clear Stamps called Farmhouse Scriptural Thoughts.  I just love the font used for the sentiments in this sweet set.  I used a Martha Stewart border punch on the piece at the top, and I also ran some White Crochet Lace across my card as well as a string of tiny pearls.  I added some Stamens, Sweetheart Blossoms, and Pink Burlap String to my card, and inked my card with Tim Holtz Distress Ink in Hickory Smoke and Spun Sugar.

Thanks so much for stopping by today.  It's always nice to hear your thoughts.  I hope that you're enjoying your crafty time, and that you will be able to play along in these fun challenges as well. I'm having so much fun with these stripes that I'm entering one last time through my Instagram. I look forward to seeing what you've been creating this week.

Blessings,

Karen

Lucky Charm Event With Joy Clair Stamps

Hi there to all our stamping and creative friends, and thanks for visiting today.  I'm sharing a little tag set I created to showcase the cute new Lucky Charm Stamp Set from Joy Clair Stamps.  Just in time for St. Patrick's Day, this sweet stamp set is SO much fun!  There's a leprechaun, rainbows, four-leaf clovers, darling sentiments and more.   Each of my teammates from Joy Clair has prepared something special to share with you today featuring this wonderful new stamp set.  And for hopping along with us, one lucky person who leaves a comment will win a $25 gift certificate to spend at Joy Clair Stamps.

I made two tags to share with you - one larger and one smaller.  For the larger tag, I stamped the leprechaun and the pot of gold which I colored with my Copics and attached to the tag.  I stamped the sentiment Good Luck! at the top and added some ribbons and a gold button.

For the smaller tag, I stamped the sentiment Happy St. Patrick's Day and the smaller four-leaf clover.  I attached some ribbons and a button with baker's twine.  Pretty simple little tags, but I really just wanted to show you all how adorable this stamp set really is and how versatile it is.  I also love that the new Lucky Charm Stamp Set also contains a Happy Birthday sentiment because that's one sentiment that we ALL need....all year long!

Here's the link to the Joy Clair Blog where you will see ALL the amazing projects my teammates have created using the fun new Lucky Charm set.  Joy Clair has SO many great stamp sets to help you stamp up something beautiful for ANY and EVERY occasion.

Have a blessed day,

Karen

Sweet Monochromatic Stripes

Hello again, friends!  It's been quite a while since I've had two posts in one day; but when I saw the new challenge this week over at Mod Squad Challenge Blog, I knew that I wanted to play along.  I love Pink & Main, and I also love stripes, so their challenge really inspired me to play along.  I used a striped Crate Paper patterned paper from the Portrait line.  Then, I stamped my sentiments and images onto a second patterned paper from this same line.  The butterflies and sentiments are from a sweet Pink & Main Stamp Set called Inspire.

Once I had my images stamped, I attached the two patterned papers together.  Then I ran two strips of lace on my card, one white and one black, and I topped that with a Maya Road canvas tag with two tiny black buttons.  I like using lots of great textures and layers.

I had a blog friend tell me this week that she's been having some trouble leaving me comments, and then when she tries to do so, she gets the verification thingy and I don't know how to fix this problem.  I've already changed my comment settings, but if anyone knows what might be causing this little glitch, I'd really appreciate your input because I love getting comments and I want to make it as easy as possible for people to leave them for me.

Have a blessed week!

Karen

I'm entering my card in the following challenges:

AMAZING With Really Reasonable Ribbon

Welcome back to my little ole' blog!  Today I'm posting for Really Reasonable Ribbon by sharing this sweet and simple card I created by using a few lovely items from my favorite ribbon and embellishment shop.....the FABULOUS Really Reasonable Ribbon.  I started with a cardstock base, and added one piece of pink/white striped patterned paper.  I covered that with a die-cut background template, then added half a doily and a sentiment sticker.  Then came the really fun part.....adding all the wonderful touches from Really Reasonable Ribbon. 

First, I ran a length of Cream Seam Binding down the left-hand side of my card.  I used that same Cream Seam Binding along with some lovely Baby Pink Seam Binding to create my bow.  I tucked in some Miniature White Double-Head Stamens, Miniature Pink Double-Head Stamens and Miniature Green Double-Head Stamens.  On top of the Seam Binding bow, I added a 30mm Tow-Toned Pink/White Mulberry Leaf and some pink, green and white flowers from the Mixed Pastels Miniature Sweetheart Blossoms.  By the way...they're GORGEOUS!

The final touches include some circle-shaped stickers and some sequins.  I just LOVE how the ribbons, stamens and flowers give the card such a soft, sweet, and romantic feel.  Ribbons and trims also add texture and life to our cards and projects, and there are SO many choices at RRR.

There's lots of great inspiration every day on the Really Reasonable Ribbon Blog, and lots of great products in the RRR Shop.  We hope you'll stop by often, and let us know if you have any questions about anything.  We're here to help.

Enjoy your day,
Karen

Simon Says Stamp Wednesday Challenge - No Stamps Allowed - And I didn't stamp a single thing.  My sentiment is a piece of ephemera with shiny gold lettering.

Three Amigos Blog Hop Challenge #23 - Inspiration Photo - I was SO drawn to the sweet pinks and gold accents, and all the other little touches of color.  Such a fun challenge and an inspiring photo.  Come, play along!

God's Promises With Joy Clair

Welcome by today, everyone!  Today I'm posting for Joy Clair Stamps to showcase more of the amazing stamps found in the various stamp sets that were just released last month.  These 12 beautiful sets each contain sentiments and images that can be used independently or in combination with one another (and other Joy Clair Stamps).  The card I'm sharing today does just that....it combines two of the newest sets.

I started with a cream cardstock to make my base, and I added a piece of inked patterned paper that I machine stitched to the base.  I topped that with a cream die-cut piece onto which I stamped in various colors with the Swirls (small swirly image) found in the Reckless Love Stamp Set and then in dark brown a sweet sentiment that's found in the God's Promises Stamp Set.

I also machine stitched on some small inked patterned paper strips.  Then. I added some pink prills, and some stamped leaves that were created using a leaf stamp also found in the Reckless Love Stamp Set.  It's always fun to use smaller stamps to create a background, and this card was a great combination of smaller stamps from one new set, and a sentiment from another.  All the stamps found at Joy Clair are AMAZING. 

Please be sure to let us know if you have any questions at all about techniques you see, products used, or anything we can help answer for you.  We want to help you make the most of your Joy Clair Stamps. and to see how beautifully they all work together to compliment one another.  I like making matching bookmarks and decorating my cards' envelopes so that they match my cards.  By using an image from a stamp set along with my Return Address Stamp from the Custom Stamps selection at Joy Clair, I'm able to make my envelope so much fun to look at and to receive in the mail.

For this card, I created a quick matching bookmark by attaching some patterned papers, doing a bit of machine stitching, and adding some stamped leaves and flowers using the Reckless Love Stamp Set, and a sentiment (Good Luck!) from the cute new Lucky Charm Stamp Set.

Thanks again for visiting,

Karen

It's Release Day at Paper Sweeties

Hurray!  The Paper Sweeties February New Release is finally here!  This month we are featuring a new stamp set from our Planner Series called All Occasions (for all you planner people); but since I'm not a planner person, I had to get a little more creative.  That just goes to show you that all of Paper Sweeties stamps are incredibly versatile and can be used in so many different ways.  I sure had fun using this sweet new set on my projects this month.

Today I'm sharing a card that I create by starting with a pink cardstock base.  I attached a piece of sweet patterned paper that I inked and machine stitched to the base.  Next, I used the same pink cardstock and cut a rectangle using the Scalloped Rectangle Frame Sweet Cuts, and again in ivory for the inside of the rectangle.  I stamped Abigail and Madison onto white paper and colored them with my Copics; and I used the Abigail Sweet Cut and Madison Sweet Cut to cut out the girls.  I attached them to the inside of the Rectangle Scalloped Frame.

I cut some borders out of these recurring patterned papers using the scalloped border found in the Sweet Borders Sweet Cuts.  I inked those borders and attached them under the girls to create a little base for Abigail and Madison to rest on and, well....just look cute.  I used the new Planner Series: All Occasions Stamp Set and All Occasions Sweet Cuts to stamp and cut the little flag borders/banners, and the cute little flowers.  This new set has 15 adorable little images that you can use to stamp, cut, journal, and create in so many ways.  

By the way, I used a set called At The Beach to clothe Madison today; and Abigail is wearing an outfit found in the Stamp Set.  I also added bow using Frosting Seam Binding and pink baker's twine.  I layered and attached several Marshmallow Sequins and Robin Egg Sequins along side of a sticker I attached that holds a sweet sentiment (LOVE) which can be found in the Merry Stamp Set.

It's so much fun using all of Paper Sweeties products together.  I love them all...older and newer.  They're all SO sweet, and we know that you will love Paper Sweeties as much as we do.  Here is the list of the other ladies sharing projects with you today.  Enjoy the creative journey.

Paper Sweeties February New Release Sneak Peek

Hello, sweet friends!  Welcome by today as my teammates and I begin to reveal the February New Release from Paper Sweeties.  We have so much inspiration to share with you this month as we take a look at the new Planner Series: All Occasions Stamp Set and coordinating All Occasions Sweet Cuts being released this month at Paper Sweeties.  As always, this set works great on its own or when combined with other Paper Sweeties products.

I'm sharing a very quick little project today just to give y'all that little "Sneak Peek" I promised.  You're going to absolutely LOVE this new Planner Series: All Occasions Stamp Set and coordinating Sweet Cuts.  It contains 15 darling image icons to represent each and every season/occasion throughout the year.  For today's project, I made this sweet little tag.

I cut this tag from blue cardstock using the Stitched Tags #1 Sweet Cuts.  Have I mentioned how much I LOVE this set?  All the Stitched Tags sets from Paper Sweeties are adorable (there are three).  Next, I stamped the star image (a few times) using the new Planner Series: All Occasions Stamp Set and cut them using the coordinating Sweet Cuts.  I also tied on some Robin Egg Seam Binding and added a few Cookie Dough Sequins.  These shapes are all SO cute and they make such great accents.

I had a lot of fun stamping these little images and adding them to my projects this month.  And - to show you just how versatile this set really is....I'll be using this set in three very different ways in each of my three Paper Sweeties posts this month (today, tomorrow and Saturday) as will all of my talented teammates - so I really do hope you will pop by our blogs each day to see some AMAZING creativity and say hello.   You will see SO many fabulously fun ways to use this adorable new set.  I think it's time for some much-need retail therapy at Paper Sweeties!

Here's the list of all my teammates sharing their talents with us all today.  Enjoy!

It's Blog Hop Time at Really Reasonable Ribbon

Welcome to the Really Reasonable Ribbon Blog Hop today, everyone!  You should have arrived here by way of my talented friend Bonnie and her wonderful blog.  Wasn't that fantastic?  Her creations always blow me away.  And this month's Ribbon Club Assortment is absolutely gorgeous!  Just look at these wonderful greens and purples.

As I most often do, I created a fun hair bow using (almost) ALL of the fabulous trims found in this month's Ribbon Club Assortment including a length of the 3/8" Grape Satin Swiss Dots, 5/8" Apple Diamond Satin, 3/8" Random Circles White Orchid Grape, 5/8" Kiwi Satin With Grosgrain Edge, 3/8" Purple and Green Confetti Dots on White Grosgrain, 5/8" Grape Checkerboard Satin, 5/8" Light Orchid Delicate Stitch Satin, and the 3/8" Kiwi Satin Swiss Dots.  The only one I didn't incorporate was the sweet 3/8" Stars on Apple Green Grosgrain.

I also wrapped my bow with some Violet Burlap String, but you can't see it because it's covered by the gorgeous White Sweetheart Blossoms and Deep Purple Sweetheart Blossoms that I added.  I also tucked in some White Double-Head Stamens, Lavender Stamens and Green Stamens.  The hair bow itself is secured to a French Clip.  So sweet!

The next stop on this inspirational Really Reasonable Ribbon Blog Hop is at Kathy's Blog, and I know she has something extra lovely to share with you all.  Don't forget to answer the question at the end of the Blog Hop on the RRR Blog so that you'll be entered to win this month's lovely Ribbon Club Assortment for yourself.

Happy Hopping,

Love You Beyond Measure

Hello friends!  Thanks for visiting me again today.  This is a card I created for Really Reasonable Ribbon, and I always have making cards that include their wonderful products.  I love the warmth and texture that ribbons, twines, trims and laces give our cards.  Not to mention all the other wonderful things found at Really Reasonable Ribbon.

I started with a red cardstock base and added a layer of vellum.  Next, I cut a cream backdrop using a decorative rectangular Spellbinders die.  Next, I ran a width of Red Center-Stitch Burlap Trim across my card as well as a width of Red & White Plaid Houndstooth and 3/8" Red & White Gingham.  I wound a long length of Black Licorice Baker's Twine around my card and tied on a grungy tag with it.  The tag is stamped with a PTI sentiment (beyond measure), and the die-cut center hearts are also PTI.  The stamped sentiment (love you) is from Stamp Simply Clear Stamps.  The 3-D medallion (Happy Valentine's Day) is from Crate Paper.

I also added three die-cut wool felt hearts and added a 11mm White Heart Shaped Flatback Pearl Accent to the red heart.  I also tucked some Miniature White Double-Head Stamens and Miniature Black Double-Head Stamens under the 3-D medallion.  Just look at all those GORGEOUS textures on my card.  That's what ribbons and trims can do for any project....just make them POP!

Thanks for visiting, and don't forget to stop by each day for more inspiration and to find out about special sales and promotions.  We also have our fabulous monthly Blog Hop coming up in just a few days, so be sure to visit again soon.  There's always something wonderful at Really Reasonable Ribbon.  Speaking of which.....don't forget to join us this Wednesday, the 13th, for our BLOG HOP.

Blessings,

Karen
