Well, in the midst of it all, I put together a card.  I love my card making and paper crafting..it is a happy place for me.  not all my creations I am totally happy about, but it is more about the fun than the gratification at the end..do you know what I mean??   Well enough blubbering...here is the card I made with Whimsy stamp,"Bella Sole collecting flowers" and papers from My Minds Eye..Here is happy record it.

I am new at this coloring with markers thing, I used Spectrum Noir markers.  I have to practice more, but oh what fun.

Creating Blog Hops Cafe HOP!!

Happy Saturday

and

Welcome to this months Blog Hop

So, grab yourself a Latte', sit back and hop along with us as we share our projects with you.

For my project, I made a small Easter mini with the chipboard mini shapes I got when I purchased the Cricut Artiste cartridge Bundle from Close To My Heart.  I used the Artiste cartridge to cut the papers out to cover the chipboard mini as well, fit perfectly.

I made the flower with the Artbooking cart and Art Philosophy, I believe and the pieces for the chickie, were actually  a leaf from Create a Critter, the beak was from CAC too, from a mushroom cut and the chickie feet are actually acorn tops from the same cartridge.

The papers I used were from a paper pad I bought at a local discount store...

And this is my little mini:)   It was fun making it, and the papers are so fun and cute.  so now you can continue on with the hop make sure to give all the girls some love, I am sure they all worked hard on their projects, and besides..who doesn't need lovin"??

Challeng #46.  For today's sketch I decided to use the papers from the "Pro Player" Paper packet.  I do not have any Birthday cards for a young man, so I took advantage of this time to do one.  The card is 8 1/2 by 5 1/2, and all materials used are CTMH..

suppies...Artiste cartridge, ProPlayer papers, Square studs,

I put a few arrows on the inside of the card, and on the envelope too to dress them up.  Was a fun easy card to make, helps when you have great product to work with ;)
