Happy birthday card...clown

When I was yard sailing and bought a bundle of stamps...she had a bunch of Belle's and Whistles ones.  I was fortunate to grab as they went out of business recently.  They were one of my very favorite stamp collections.  So here I used my clowning around girl.  Added some ribbon and flower.  Hope you like this little cutie.  Entering it into a "ribbon" challenge over at http://pausedreamenjoychallenges.blogspot.com/2013/01/ch-1-use-ribbon.html

Happy "hump"day.

So I am learning to color...everyday.  Love my copics!

Here is Tilda sitting on a cloud. 

Did a little faux stitching along with adding a few hearts.

The lace looks faint in the picture from my phone.  Also, putting the left over paper underneath takes away from the card itself.  I've entered this card into a challenge "spotty" over at http://totallygorjuss.blogspot.com/2013/01/challenge-166-spotty.html.  My take on spots..

Hope you all have a wonderful Wednesday.  I squeezed in some crafting along with the house work.
Smiles...Tammy

My boy Valentine's card

Here is a little card that I made for my Hubby...It was made with Whiff of Joy's "Sailor Oakley".
I am learning to work with my copics more.  You tube and some blogs are helping me learn to shade.  Coloring is so much fun. Added some ribbon and a Kings crown.  My stamp I made to go words downward.   I hope you like my little Valentine card.
Have a wonderful day!  Entered anything with "blue" over at http://littlescrappieces.blogspot.com/2013/01/fun-friday-winter-blues-challenge.html  So excited to have won this challenge. Thank you ladies!

I'm back to making cards

I hope everyone had a wonderful New Year.  Mine has had some little bumps in the road.  My dad was just in the hospital this last week with his heart.  He is home now...resting.  My niece was in the hospital all week last week and I just felt awful for her.  Poor thing is 15 and was really ill.  Now she is home and slowly re cooperating.  So lots of praying has been going on around here.

I went to a wonderful yard sale and purchased a ton of stamps and copics.  So I am just thrilled to start coloring them and coming up with some new cards for Valentine's day and birthday cards.
So hopefully I am getting my mojo back.  Can't wait to see your blogs as well. 

For my card I used my new copics, ribbon, charm, stamps, and bling.  My image is Paper Makeup stamps "Moody for Fun".  Just a little hip happening Valentine card. Entered into challenge for "Ribbon" over at http://totallypapercrafts.blogspot.com/2013/01/challenge-149-ribbon.html

Be blessed today and always. 

Last set of tags for now

Finally the end...Tags take time for sure.  I have been trying to get cards and tags made for the holidays.  With us going away.  I needed to get a move on things.

 Going to have a yard sale on Thursday...I have so much to get rid of.  We are in the process of getting a new home.  So no crafting for the rest of the week.  Also, on Saturday we have my son Austens, district cross country race.  He made it to districts with his swim too.  Proud of him and of Jaxten.  We end these two sports and move onto wrestling for quite a few months.  Yipee!  One sport two kids.  I like that.

Smiles...always, Tammy

More tags

I just love these Holly Hobbie stamps.  I hope you are enjoying my tags and are not bored.  I have one more set of 3 to show.

Have a wonderful day!  Smiles...Tammy
Be safe :)

Next set of 3 tags

I have to show each of my tags.  Hopefully you can tell what elements I used.

 They take time to make but alot of fun.  I used alot of inks, glitter, punches, stickers, hanging charms and much more.

Be blessed...smiles, always!  Tammy

Tag time

Here are my first set of tags made with my new Holly Hobbie stamps set.  She is just too cute and fun to color in.  Each stamp is differently designed as you will see below.

 It was alot of fun to incorporate different elements to each tag.

Have a wonderful day :)  smiles..Tammy

Getting a head start

Here is a sweet Magnolia card that I made.

 Loved working with pinks...Still working on learning coloring techniques.  Fun to play around with.

Have a wonderful week.  I have been shopping for Christmas...a late start for me.  We are going to the mountains this year.  Can't wait as we have a cabin rented.
smiles...Tammy

My glass bottles

My antique bottles.

My husband was working at his job site and dug down deep and found some antique bottles.  He knew I would love them so he brought me home 60 of them.  All shapes and sizes.  I have been cleaning, cleaning and cleaning them.  As they were pretty bad from being burried for many years at least 70.  So here are some that I have cleaned and decorated.  Smiles...Tammy

Fall card

Today is just so beautiful out.  I want to shop for awhile this morning and enjoyed everybit of it.

Here is a Magnolia Tilda card.  She is looking ready for Fall.

 I used lots of ink, papers,flowers,stamp,ribbon and coloring. Tilda is 3d.  Hope you like my fall card for Thanksgiving.

Tomorrow is Homecoming at my sons, Austen and Jaxten's school.  Jaxten is on Homecoming court for 9th grade.  Unfortunately, Austen didn't make it this year but was on it last year.  I will be taking pictures at the football game when they go out onto the field.  Should be a fun evening.  Presten is evening coming in for the night from his University.  Then we wake up bright and early ...I mean early as we have to drive a bit to the boys cross country race.  They both run this.  Austen is still in swim and loves it.  Yesterday he got first in his Breast stroke at his meet.  Awesome!  Colten is growing up so fast and leaps in bounds in height.  Me and Rob sure do make tall boys. 
Well have a wonderful weekend.  I know we will.  Gators are #3 my favorite college football team where Presten attends.  We have a very important game this Saturday afternoon.  So excited. 
smiles...Tammy

Thanksgiving cards

I was so enjoying our brief bit of Fall weather.  Now it has gone away..bummer :(

 I have made a couple of Fall cards with a Belle's and Whistle image.  Baking apple pie's remind me of Thanksgiving. 

 I made these two different cards.  Added some different touches to them.  Hope you like them.

Trying to figure out what I will make next.  Going to browse through my magazines and get my mojo going again.  I need more holiday cards, too.
Happy crafting my dear blog friends.
smiles...Tammy

Bike bag

I have a couple of December birthdays and have to stay away from Christmas colors.

SoI decided to decorate a bag today with florals.

 I added some bling, ribbon, stickles on the yellow flowers in basket.  Went green on the image as it was an old card that I received.  So it is girlie for sure and not Christmas-y at all.

Love those Martha stewart scissors for the grass.  I'm I am starting out easy this time and hope to get more complicated in the future with my crafts. 
Smiles...always, Tammy

Beary twisted

Hope you all are having a wonderful day.

 I enjoyed using the freebies from my magazine.  I added some glitter stickles and some puff paint.
3d effect makes this card so cute. 

Now onto some more cards...then I want to make some victorian goodies.  Mind is wandering.  Have a wonderful week.
smiles...Tammy

Bear card

Here is another popcorn bear card...freebie.

 My fingers are getting tired of cutting. haha..
Hope you have a wonderful week.  See you soon...hopefully I will get to finding all your blogs again.  Miss ya!!!  Tammy :)

Bear Christmas card

This is mighty simple card.  Freebie from Popcorn Bear and added some papers and stickles,and puff paint.  That's all.  Too cute of a card.  Love the 3d effect.

 Hope this finds all of you well.  I know I have been quite busy with my kids and home life.

Doing well...me and the hubby are keeping  busy with all the boys and their schooling and sports.  It never ends but is so worth it.  Wish I could freeze frame time.
Oh well...gotta run.  Smiles everyone...Tammy

Beary cute

Here is a card that I made from Popcorn Bear freebie in a magazine I just purchased.  All I did was cut,cut,cut and then 3d the pieces add some background paper from the freebie and some stickles in the trees for some bling.  Cute stuff.  More to come.

Smiles always, Tammy

It's fall time

I've started making some holiday cards....Feeling the beautiful fall weather that we are having here in Florida has put me in the crafting mojo. 

 I used multiple papers, ink,stamp and photo from the computer. 
I've missed the blogging world.  I just purchased a couple of magazines that are made in
Sweden and in UK and I have been inspired to start crafting again.  So here is the first two cards that  I have made.  Keep a look out for some more. 

Smiles...Tammy

My Florida pride

Here is my my first t-shirt made scarf.  I of course did it with my favorite colors orange and blue...Go Gators!!!  I am making many of these for my neices this Christmas with their school colors. 
Have a blessed day!

First Christmas present made.

I've started making my christmas gifts...This is my first 14x14 frame for my brother in law.  It was fun to make...lots of rolling of paper and glue.  Used my cricut on clear contact paper to do the words Live and Love.  Sorry my picture is not clearer but lighting was off.
