If yall get a chance over on the MB  there is this challenge.  There are some amazing ladies over on this challenge that make some very beautiful cards.  Each week there is a different host for the challenge.  There are 3 or 4 card sketches that you can either do one or all.  There is also an ad color challenge also.  This week the ad colors were pink, dark pink, mint green.   I love these colors together, so this week was very simple for me.  I have used almost all my scraps in these cards.  All the frames,( not what they are called) but yall know what I mean, came from the Lacy Labels cart.  Lorraine from Cards Creations had shown how to use this on her blog for those of us that didn't have Spellbinders Dies.  I cut out some of my vellum flowers and used a ribbon.  The Happy Birthday is from Little Friends Stamp set from StampinUp.  The inside stamp is from M's $ bin.

This second card is also from Lacey Labels, and sketch #1 on the blog that I have highlighted at the top of my blog.  Its very simple and this was all done also with scraps.  This was a very simple card to make.  Thank you all for looking and all comments are so very welcomed.

3 Weeks agao I entered the FCCB blog challenge.  The theme that week was for Camping.   I was honored by winning the challenge for that week.  Here is what I got.  I have been wanting this cart for a long time and kept putting it off.  WELL  to my surprise when I got my mail today.  I'm jumping up and down.  Can't wait to play with it.

Have a good evenong everyone.  please check out RAQ'S card challenge if you get a chance.

Good morning everyone.  Yesterday was a down time for me.  Larry had his last big treatment for his cancer last Wednesday.  The next day he had to have the Nuelasta shot. which wipes him out about 3=4 days later.   So he slept most of the day.  When he does that I can craft, because he sleeps on the couch which is in my sunroom/craftroom.  Here is what I came up with. I went to alot of blogs yesterday to get some inspiration on what i wanted to do. Nothing popped into my head.  My card measures 5x6.5.  I used a MS punch for the top and bottom border. The ribbon on the left side is from my stash.  The sentiment mats are from Lacy Labels cut @3" reg and shadow. The sentiment mat is cut at 2.50"  The sentiment I saw in a card magazine, so i computor generated it and then cut it out with LL's also.  I really like the way it came out.  Thanks for looking and I would love everyones feed back on it. 

Cardinal card and Butterfly card

Here are two cards that I made from Looking at Linda (Nothing Fancy) blog spot.  She had made these cards and I really like how they came out.  Thanks Linda for the inspiration on making these cards.  The cricut cuts are all from Lacey Lables.  I never knew these cuts were on this cart until I saw Linda's blog. I  used the branch folder  and rounded the corners of my card. the saying was computor generated.

Christmas card

I do a Card challenge every week over on the mb in the card forum.  The challenge is called Raq's Challenge.  Each week there are 3 sketches that you can get inspiration from.  Also there is a color ad challenge with this also.  I made this card with the ad colors and also sketch #1.  Please check out this challenge over on the card form.  Its alot of fun and some very talented and super fun ladies.

I made a twisted easle card.  I used Lacey Lables for the red center. I used the Devine Swirl cuddlebug folder to emboss the middle.  I used Bakers Twine.  I used some buttons for embleshments.  The Merry Christmas is from MS Seasonal Cake Art cart.
