Down Grace Lane

I'm sure by now you all have given up on me, but I have taken on a new adventure...or two. I am teaming up with my friend Brittany and doing a decorating blog. We'd love to have you join us over at Chapel Cottage Chicks. I have also ventured into sign making. Come check me out at Down Grace Lane.

Pansie Girl

It's another day at Sister Act Card Challenge and this week we're bringing a new sponsor and a bunch of new DT members. YAY! Fun times. You can head over there to see all the details...I'm going a little loopy here preparing to leave for our church camp. Why does it feel like we're moving?

 

This image is called Pansie and it comes from Art by Miran. I colored her up with Copics.

 

This card is for sale here.

Hello, Ice Cream Girl

Greetings everyone! Happy Friday. It's time for another challenge over at Sister Act Card Challenge. We'd love for you to join us. As always, the challenge is "Anything Goes."

 

This week we're being sponsored by Bugaboo. I chose to use the image Kidz-Ice Cream. I get in a rut coloring brown hair and decided to go with black this time. I used Copic markers. The flowers came from Micheals and Jo-Ann's. The scalloped shape was cut out on my Cricut using "Scalloped Edges" cartridge.

 

My card is for purchase here: https://www.etsy.com/listing/235957406/handmade-greeting-card-girl-with-ice?ref=listings_manager_grid

Let's Celebrate

A new sponsor is joining us at SACC. Melonheadz has a fun and whimsical style. I used some ants from the set Ants on Parade. I just placed them together in PS. 

 

Time to Share Cake

Hey Everyone! Thanks for all the well wishes last week over at Sister Act Card Challenge. We had a lot of fun and hope you did, too. 

This week we're being sponsored by Di's Digis. I chose to use Time to Share Cake. I tried to keep it gender neutral, but it screams boy to me now that it's done. HA! Oh well. I always have a plethora of girl cards, so I guess that might be a good thing to have boys on hand.

Also, the winner of my candy from last week is: Brenda B. Shoot me an email at sisteractcardchallenge(at)yahoo(dot)com with your mailing info. Thanks so much!

This card is for sale in my Etsy shop. I also have some hand painted signs available.

 

 

 

97th Blog Post Celebration!

In case you didn't come from Sister Act Card Challenge here is a little explanation of what is happening over there today:

Back a few months ago, when Jenn was counting up the challenges to get sponsors and information lined up, she had a very foggy post-pregnancy brain. She counted up what she thought would have been the 100th post and it landed on today. She, along with Trish-who was also recovering from a post-pregnancy brain, planned a big online party for the challenge blog. However, it was noticed that it is not quite the 100th post, but the 97th post. But, hey!!! We like to do things different around here and we're going to celebrate anyways! 

Each DT member has graciously offered up some blog candy in celebration of our big milestone and if you follow along the blog hop and the instructions you may earn some extra goodies this week. There will be a prize offered here like normal and an extra random prize for a commenter under this blog. WOW! Lots of fun stuff. 

We want to thank all of you for being a huge part of this blog and for showing your support weekly. Our awesome DT members are busy, but they are faithful in sharing their creations with all you card crafters. We love that you stop by and share yours, as well!! 

So, without further ado...

HAPPY 97th BLOG POST!!! 

 

The blog hop starts here. I used an older Saturated Canary image to play with this week. Added some lace, frantage, pearls and flowers. Love the vintage look!

If you'd like a chance at winning my blog candy, leave a comment. I'd love for you to become a follower, but it isn't necessary to win the candy. 

 Your next stop along the hop is Tricia.

Good For 1 Smile

Hey Y'all!

Today at Sister Act Card Challenge we're being sponsored by Meljen's. We have had them several times and always enjoy working with her images. I chose to work with Camera Mouse. I like playing around with photography, so I knew I needed to play and color him up.

Hope you're able to join us this week!

Lila Picking Flowers

Today at Sister Act Card Challenge we're being sponsored by Angie's Digital Stamps. They are a new sponsor to us this year. We appreciate them joining us this week to bring our challenge to you lovely peeps. I chose to work with Little Lila Picking Flowers and went with a Valentine's theme. I used the sketch over at deconstructingjen. The paper is from Crate Paper-Flea Market. The chipboard heart and yellow flower are from Michaels. The "happiness is" banner is a sticker from Simple Stories. 

Hope you're able to join us this week!

Winter Birthday Girl

Good Morning! Hope everyone has had a great week. We've had pink eye here. Now, ya'll can start rubbing your eyes because they automatically started itching...:) 

Today at Sister Act Card Challenge we're being sponsored by Digital Delights. We've been sponsored by them several times, so they shouldn't be a newbie to you. They have a ton of images and I'm sure you could find something to interest you and your addiction! :)  I did not work with a sponsor image this week, but chose to work with a WeeStamps digi image. It looks like you can't get them anymore. The paper is from Dear Lizzy and the flowers are from Michaels.

I hope you'll come by and join us. The theme is always "anything goes."

Edward Valentine

Good Morning, Card-Making-Crafters! Are you settled back down in to a more "normal" rountine? Has life slowed down any for you? Yeah, not here either. HA! It's already the middle of January, peeps!  I think I might be having a little anxiety lately over how quickly life is going. 

Today at Sister Act Card Challenge we're being sponsored by Bugaboo Images. We've been sponsored by them several times, so they shouldn't be a newbie to you. They have a ton of images and I'm sure you could find something to interest you and your addiction! :)  I chose to work with Edward Valentine. I added in some non-traditional Valentine colors, so if necessary, I could use this for another occasion.  I followed the sketch over at deconstructingjen. I hope you'll come by and join us. The theme is always "anything goes."

 

Christmas Mail

By now you're getting things wrapped up (no pun intended) for Christmas. This will be my last post until next year. I hope you all have an awesome holiday season.

It's time for another challenge at Sister Act Card Challenge. This week we're being sponsored by yours truly. So come join in the fun!

Christmas Girl

December...weren't you just here like a month ago?! In case you can't tell I am just having a hard time grasping how time is flying!

It's time for another challenge at Sister Act Card Challenge. This week we're being sponsored by Stitchy Bear Stamps. I chose to use Little Siannie Christmas Stamp. Just a clean and simple card. I have lost all mojo and I'm afraid it is gone for good. Sigh...

Winter Trio

Hi all! Welcome back. Did you have a great Thanksgiving? Anyone brave the crowds and go shopping?

 It's time for another challenge at Sister Act Card Challenge. This week we're being sponsored by Bugaboo Images. I chose to use Winter Trio. Don't they look like they're the best of buds? The cute little penguin brad came from Walmart.

3 Christmas Girls

Good Morning! Anyone else feel like their brain is in a fog? No? Just me? Well, that makes me feel better.

It's time for another anything goes challenge at Sister Act Card Challenge. This week we're being sponsored by All Dressed Up. Seriously, if you've never seen their images, you need to go check them out. Adorbs! (I can't believe I just wrote that).  I chose to work with 3 Little Christmas Girls. Is this not a fun and colorful Christmas card?

Good Morning! It's time for another anything goes challenge at Sister Act Card Challenge. This week we're being sponsored by All Dressed Up. Seriously, if you've never seen their images, you need to go check them out. I had never heard of them until a few months ago and I love them!. I chose to work with A Cuddle Makes it All Better. Blue and yellow is one of my favorite color combos and I really like how this turned out. I have several dog lovers in my family that this reminds me of.

Snow Bears

Hi Everyone! Fall festivities are all around and Christmas is peeking around the corner. Hope you're not too busy to enjoy these seasons before O' Man Winter sets in.

This week at Sister Act Card Challenge we're offering up a goodie bag to our winner. The challenge is always anything goes, as long as it's a card. I used a pre-printed image from Lili of the Valley. I bought these a couple of years ago, so I don't know if they're still available. 

 The tree punch is from EKSuccess.

 

Snowman Cutie

This morning at Sister Act Card Challenge we're being sponsored by Deedee's Digis. I used Christmas Cuties. This set came with several images, but this penguin made the cut. 

The paper is from Echo Park-Season's Greetings. The big flower is from The Paper Studio and the green flowers from Recollections. The sentiment came with the digi set. I also used some frantage to give it some added oomph.

Violin Girl

Good Morning!

Happy birthday to my wonderful hubby!

This morning at Sister Act Card Challenge we're being sponsored by The Rubber Buggy. Anyone who has been a follower of my blog for a long time knows that I used to be on their DT. They are an online store with lots of yummy products for your card making "needs."

Used a bunch of my stash on this one. It needs weeded out, that's for sure! :)

Sleeping Girl

Good Morning!

This week at Sister Act Card Challenge we're being sponsored by Whoopsiedaisy. This is a new sponsor to us. They have some super sweet images. The cool thing is that more than one image comes with a sheet. I used a little girl from Sheet541. Paper is from My Mind's Eye. The big paper flower is from a previous sponsor a couple of months ago called Cottage Chic Flowers. The others are from Micheals. 

Sweetie

Good Morning!

This week at Sister Act Card Challenge we're being sponsored by Stitchy Bear Stamps. They are no stranger to us. I used Fishing Time. Colored her up with copics and used paper from My Mind's Eye (I'm beginning to think those are the only paper packs I own). HA! The "sweetie" is an old chipboard sticker from K&Company. The flowers are mainly from Micheals. I also distressed the edges by using frantage. 

We'd love for you to join our "anything goes" challenge.
