JGN Challenge #8

Image
Hey y'all, I wanted to pop in to share a card I made for the latest Challenge over at Jay Gee's Nook. I just thought the photo this month was fabulous and full of inspiration. I bought this seamstress stamp from PTI awhile back and thought it would go perfectly with the theme. Thanks for stopping by, Brandi

CAS-ual Friday Challenge #4

Image
Hey y'all, I hope you have had a wonderful weekend. The hubby and I are on our last day before we have to start back to work and if the weather remains sunny, we are heading out to the golf range. I am in desperate need of some swing practice. It will be our first time out this year. I wanted to pop in quickly to share a card I made for the latest CAS-ual Friday Challenge #4.   The theme this week is graduation. I made a mini diploma by rolling up some white cardstock and wrapping it with twine. I also used my favorite dotty biscotti patterned paper from PTI. Thanks for stopping by, Brandi

Hang in There

Image
Hey y'all, I am so excited it is the last day of work before a three day weekend. My brother-in-law and his family are coming into town to hang out with us. We are going to go see Hangover 2, work on my nieces Disney scrapbook and hangout. What are your plans? I wanted to pop in to share a card I made for the Make it Monday Challenge #16 . The theme this week is to make a sympathy card. I used the colors from the latest Tuesday Trigger Challenge at the Moxie Fab World. I just love the inspirational photo that was provided. Thanks for stopping by for a visit! Brandi

Chevron Chic

Image
Hey y'all, I am popping in today to share a card I made for the Chevron Chic Challenge over at the Moxie Fab World. According to the World English Dictionary the word Chevron means: any V-shaped pattern. I had been eyeing this challenge for awhile but did not have a stamp that I could use. So what did I do? I took a border punch I had and cut out a V-shaped border than took some markers and traced the outline. Voila! I had to bring out the owl from one of my favorite Paper Smooches stamp set called Chubby Chums. He is just so cute and plump! Hope your having a fabulous day and thanks for stopping by, Brandi

Happy 1st Brooks!

Image
Hey y'all, Just popping in to share a card I made for the latest Wee Memories Challenge #57. The theme this week is to just "stamp it". How fun and easy right? I chose to create a card for my best friends son who is turning one. He is so adorable and has the cutest name "Brooks". I hope he likes the circus! LOL! Thanks for stopping by, Brandi

Birthday Wishes

Image
Hey y'all, Hope your enjoying your weekend. The hubby and I stayed pretty busy. We went to see Pirates of the Caribbean in 3D, caught up with some friends over great mexican food and margaritas and managed to sneak in some yard work. We ended up having nice weather after a week full of rain. Another thing I was able to accomplish was a card for a couple of challenges. I usually don't combine challenges but I couldn't resist the colors for the latest Totally Hues Challenge #7 and the theme for the CAS-ual Friday Challenge #3. I'm off to catch up on some shows and rest! Have a great night! P.S. I wanted to thank each and everyone of you that left a comment on my anniversary post. They meant so much to me and I enjoyed hearing some of your stories as well. Brandi

Love is ...

Image
Love is patient, Love is kind...... Those are just some of the words I remember six years ago today when I married my husband. It is hard to believe that much time has passed. It is true that time flies when you have fun and that is what the last six years have been, full of fun times and everlasting memories. I rarely post anything that doesn't involve something crafty but I thought I would share a little bit about something more important to me. I wanted to share a few pics of that special day. Since the hubby is from New York and I from Arkansas, we got married in the south. It was so nice that his family and friends were willing to fly all the way for our special day. We got married at the historical Arlington Hotel in Hot Springs, Arkansas. I feel in love with it as a child, vacationing there with my family. It was a perfect day!         Thanks for letting me share a little bit with you today! Hugs, Brandi

Play Date Challenge #80

Image
Hey y'all, Was the latest challenge #80 at the Play Date Cafe hard? You betcha! Wow these colors gave me a run for my money. I rarely use orange, much less orange and red together. I was amazed at how pretty and simple this challenge was to the other people who entered because there is some major talent shown in the other entries. Well this will have to do because my brain is fried trying to figure out another option. Thanks for stopping by, Brandi

CAS-ual Friday Challenge #1

Image
Hey y'all, Woo-hoo, the time has come for the first CAS-ual Friday Challenge  #1 .  I was so excited that a new challenge site started up that focuses on clean and simple design. The theme this week was to use some sort of text in your design. This is what I came up with. What do you think? Well I best be going, the hubby and I have some shows to watch. Have a good night! Brandi

Colour Q Challenge #83

Image
Hey y'all, Hope you mothers are having a wonderful Mother's Day. Since my mom lives 1400 miles away from me, we are going to celebrate by phone. If I was with her today, we would probably share a cup of coffee, play some hidden object computer game together and sit out on her back deck in the afternoon catching up on life. I miss you mom and Happy Mother's Day! I am so excited today because I finally was able to play in the Colour Q Challenge. It is their 83rd one. I have been eyeing the beautiful color combos for a while now and finally had time to jump in. Hope you all have a sunny and wonderful Sunday! Brandi

Wee Memories Challenge #54

Image
Hey y'all, Just popping in to share a card I made for the latest Wee Memories Challenge #54 . The theme this week is paper piecing. It is so easy to do with this little monster from the "Fallen For You" stamp set by Paper Smooches. I just think he is so adorable! Thanks for stopping by for a visit! Brandi

Totally Hues Challenge #6

Image
Hola, Hope your week is going well! Since Mother's Day is just around the corner, I decided I needed to get a move on creating a few special cards. I thought that the colors for the latest Totally Hues Challenge  #6 were perfect for what I wanted. I had this cute patterned paper in my stash that picked up all of the colors for the challenge. I just love when things like that work out. I made this card with my husbands mom in mind. She is such a wonderful mother-in-law. I thought that this card would fit her perfectly. Thanks for stopping by for a visit! Brandi

Play Date Cafe #79

Image
Hey y'all! I am in the process of coming off of a wonderful vacation with my family and trying to get back into the swing of things, including crafting! Is it just me or when you stop being creative for a week it is hard to get back into it? I thought a few challenges would help boost my mojo. I loved the unique color combination that was used for the Play Date Cafe Challenge  #79.  I decided to give it a whirl and here is what I came up with. I appreciate you stopping by! Brandi
