CPS and Core'dinations

First of all here's my card for CPS sketch this week. Not sure I'm happy with it but may play with the sketch later this week again. American Craft papers and the stamp is from Unity Stamp Company.


The next to share is a page I did with one of the Becky Fleck sketches at Scrapbook and Cards Blog. For this I used some of the new Cosmo Cricket Papers that Core'dinations is putting out together with some of the new Sable Core Amour. The color palette is Chocolate Strawberry, Such fun papers to work with. The adorable subjects of the page are my grandson's Collin (who will be 13 next week as he tells everyone!) and Kadin a big 6 years old together with their buddy Jack.

Thanks for looking!

Happy Easter!

Happy Easter and Happy Birthday Mama! My Mom is 83 years old today - second time also for her birthday to fall on Easter - although I think it will like every 11 years from now on (she had this all figured out). We had dinner at my sister's yesterday and visited with my niece and her little girls and then the girls took a trip to the outlet mall (well my son went too) and bought us some bargains!!


Next I combines two challenged. The sketch challenge over at The Sweet Stop together with the freebie digi over at Delightful Inspirations. Used Crate Paper on this one.
Finally here's a page I did using the sketch challenge over at Scrapbook & Cards Today that Sarah Hodginson created combining Becky's sketch and Colour Lovers. I used a color combo called Sunkist together with Core'dinations Cardstock and some Queen & Company using this sketch. This page is done with all Core'dinations Cardstock - some from the Core collection, the Vintage collection and the newest from the Jillian Collection.

Saturday - Easter weekend!

First off today I have my card for Card Patterns fun sketch this week. This week we got to play with some of the cutest images . I had a friend drop by last night and we sat out in our little corral and chatted. Me not being able to sit still managed to get all the leaves raked while we were talking - leaving the clean up for my dh next week. Tomorrow is my mother's 83rd birthday and we are off today to Round Rock to have a party for her. She wants a new storm door for her birthday so we have all chipped in to get it for her and get it installed. I also hope to make a run to the outlet mall to a couple of stores who have advertised some good sales. Hope your day is wonderful - it's supposed to be up to 85 here - YEAH!
Our sponsor for this week is Prairie Fairy Design. Our team was once again was fortunate to have a chance and play with Prairie Fairy's supplies.
When I saw this little guy I was immediately drawn to some papers I had from American Crafts Easter collection.

Next I have the card I created for the sketch at Unscripted Sketches this week. I used another image from The Stamping Boutique together with some American Crafts papers and an SRM sticker.Then I found this sketch at Taylored Expressions blog and using some Crate Paper (love this line) and a SRN sticker, Jillibean button and some ribbon from the LSS made this card.


Hope you all have a blessed Easter and I'll be back tomorrow with more cards to share. I also hope to get a layout done but will see.

Thursday and Mojo Monday; Core'dinations and Noel Mignon

First off finally got home a night early enough to get a picture to post my card for the challenge over at Mojo Monday. Used one of my new Unity Stamps for this one and some My Mind's Eye.


Then this card I made with some Best Creations papers and an SRM sticker for my Mom's 83rd birthday this weekend.


Next I have several pages here that I have done recently and just finally gotten around to posting here. Here's some pages I have done recently with Core'dinations. The first one here is of my two twin grandchildren when we took them to Sea World one year using the WhiteWash collection and my Score-Pal and Cuttlebug folders.

This next page is my little great-niece's birthday party using some of the new Jillibean Soup Collection from Core'dinations - isn't it yum?
This page is my another new Core'dinations collection done with Cosmo Cricket. Another line that is just so fun and easy to work with.
Next is a page I did of my son down at Corpus last summer with another sheet of the new Core'dinations and Jillibean Soup. I love the flowers on it.

Last but not least at two pages I did with some of the kits I have gotten from Noel Mignon. Her kits are just fabulous - everything you can possibly want is already there - just have to lay it out! The first page is my adorable youngest granddaugther, MaKenna - just being MaKenna.

This page is my little great-niece, Katy Bug who really thinks her name is Katy Bug.
Thanks for stoppign by

The Sweet Stop

Well I can't seem to get all my cards in the same post today so there's several postings but wanting to make the best of my time on the weekend before I head back to work tomorrow (YUCK! - No I don't hate my job - just hate that I have to work period!) For this challenge I used some American Crafts papers and a stamp I just got in my monthly kit from Unity Stamps.


Thanks for stopping by yet again!

Stamptacular Sunday card & CPS

This card is done for the Stamptacular Sunday blog hop challenge. Card done with one of my favorite Elizabeth Bell stamps and some Crate Paper. My favorite color on here is guess - pink!

Now I'm going to add my CPS card as well. For this cute and simple design I went straight for some of my new Core Amour Onyx Collection from Core'dinations.
Can I just say it's fabulous! You can either leave it as is or you can sand and see the underlying core which I did on this one to show the wavy lines. I added a Maya Road tag and a SRM sentiment and some ribbon and done! This is only one of an entire pack of wonderful pages from Core'dinations Onyx collection. Each one is just beautiful alone or mixed and sanded or left as is.
thanks for stopping by!
