Totally Hues Challenge #4...

Image
Hello, Hope you girls had a wonderful weekend. This weekend the hubby and I went to see Lincoln Lawyer (which was excellent), did a little shopping and watched alot of college basketball. I tell you though, I will be glad when college basketball is over so our shows will come back on. I miss my weekly episodes of CSI!  I wanted to pop in to share a card I made for the latest Totally Hues Challenge  #4. I just love the color combo Heather picked this week. I decided to use another one of Jane's Doodles cute digital images (polyanthus flower) that can be found here! I don't know if you use digital images or not, but they are so great. One of the pros is that you can resize the image to whatever scale you want. Have a great night and good start to the week! Brandi

Enjoy The Journey...

Hello, It is time for another challenge at the Embellish blog. The theme this week is to make a masculine card using the following colors. I just love the Whole Cycle stamp  set  from Practicing Creativity. I thought that this set would be perfect for the theme. I'm off to catch up on some shows. Thanks for stopping by.

Tuesday Trigger...

Hey y'all, It is the weekend. Woo Hoo! I hope you are doing something fun and relaxing. The hubby and I went out to Starbucks for a Caramel Macchiato (I just love those, yummy) and went to see the new movie Limitless with Bradley Cooper. He is so stinkin cute. The movie was so entertaining. I wanted to share a card I made for the latest Tuesday Trigger Challenge  at the Moxie Fab World. I just love buttons and put them on almost every card I make. It adds a little something extra. Don't you think? Buttons just happened to be the theme this week with the challenge. One of my college girlfriends just had a baby boy and I wanted to make a card for her and her hubby to let them know I was thinking about them. What do you think? Thank you for stopping by...

Spring is Near...

Happy St. Patties Day! Just popping in to share a card I made for the latest Wee Memories Challenge  #47.  The theme this week is Spring. Spring is in the air around here, for sure. Today we got up to 55 degrees and it was sunny. I was able to take my little dogs out for a walk. I am sure they enjoyed it very much because our winter has been brutal. I could not go through St. Patties Day and not make a card for the event. This rainbow shamrock image was a free download from Kim Hughes that you can find  here!    Kim is uber talented. She is the owner of the new stamp line Paper Smooches. She has created all of her new stamps by hand. I am sure you have seen them around in the blogosphere! I just purchased two of her stamp sets today and can't wait til they come in. Well I am going to call it a night. I hope you all have a fun and safe holiday!

Embellish Challenge With Music

Hey y'all, Thanks for all the emotional support regarding yesterdays post. LOL! You girls made my day. Luckily most of the snow has melted away and has turned to slush. I want to share with you a card I made for the latest Embellish  Challenge . The theme was to somehow incorporate music into your design along with a fabulous color combo. I knew I wanted to jump in on this one since I recently bought the PTI Sheet Music background stamp. Love it! Before I go I wanted to thank my fabulous friend Judith for this award. Judith, if you are out there, you are the best and definitely put a smile on my face with this one! She is so crafty, so if you get a chance please stop by her  blog. I wanted to pass this award on to a few blogs that I visit everyday. These girls have become some of my good friends and are uber talented as well. So girls, ENJOY! 1.   Kasia - My good ol' Canadian friend whose clean and simple design is top notch in my book. Fun fact: she is the first Rolle

Totally Hues Challenge #3...

Hey girls, How was your Monday? I woke up to an unexpected surprise of 8" of snow! Yippee! Just kidding. I drove to work this morning and got stuck in the parking lot. Let me rephrase that, I got stuck getting into the parking lot. I was blocking the entrance to the parking garage and had to dig myself out with my little ice scrapper. I used it as a shovel. LOL! Embarrassing. So needless to say, thank goodness my Monday is OVER! I wanted to share a card I made for the latest Totally Hues Challenge  #3. I just love these new color challenges that Heather has come up with. They are so fun and the color combos are so pretty. If you have time, pop over and join in!

Wee Memories Challenge #46

Hey girls, Well it's Sunday night and it seems that the weekend has flown by. I had a fun weekend with the hubby. We went to a couple of movies to see Unknown and Adjustment Bureau. They were both soooooooo good! Today we took a day trip over to Massachusetts to some shopping outlets. We were shopping for some new spring clothes for our upcoming Disney trip. It is so hard to shop for t-shirts and shorts when it is still so cold out. I wanted to pop in to share a card I made for the latest  Challenge at Wee Memories. The theme for Challenge #46 is Woodland Friends. I was able to use one of Jane's Doodles digital images (Bird Watching) that you can find  here!   Thanks for stopping by for a visit!
