Love For Today

Hello friends and followers.  So glad to have you join me today.  I have 2 really bold cards to share with you.  

This first card is featuring the new release of Sheena's Stencils from Crafter's Companion.  This particular one is Wildflowers (will be available soon) and the Sentimentals set is Nature. The background is airbrushed with my eBrush and SN marker CT4.  The Stencil is airbrushed with Spectrum Noir BG5.  It has Really Reasonable Ribbon's Sheer Organza with Satin Center in Yellow Gold tied around the center.  I tied a double bow using the Bow It All 2.0.  

This fun Triple Stamped card is featured today at the Technique Lovers Challenge on SCS.  I have used Corsage Ribbon in Silver.  Pop on over to RRR it is currently 30% off!!!  I have also used Black Licorices Bakers Twine.  My stamp is Sheena's Bloomin' Beautiful Stamp Set and sentiment is True Colors from Crafter's Companion.

Thanks for joining me today.  Hope you enjoy your Monday!

Imagine The Possibilities

Hello everyone!  Been on a crafting hiatus these past few days!  Had to really think about what all I wanted to craft in the month of April.  I thought Imagine The Possibilities!  So with the little free time I have left after Bean's busy sports schedule, I will try to make a big impact with the projects I will be showing you.  I would love for you to follow me so you don't miss out on my upcoming creations.  I have several different ways to follow to the right------>>>>>

I am a brand ambassador for Perfect Paper Crafting.  I am so very lucky to test drive all of their fun tools.  Today I have a few pictures of some of their latest and greatest!  They have out the new Mini Perfect Layers tools.  They come in a pack of 2 with the possibility to make 8 different sized mattes for your pictures and projects.  They also can out with a Mini PINK healing mat to cut all of the mattes on!

My image and sentiments are all from Crafter's Companion.  They are the Sheena's A Little Bit Sketchy-The Butterfly Effect and True Colors.  My background is created using Fireworks Sprays also found at Crafter's Companion.

Rainbows Before Gold and A Blog Hop

Good morning.  Hope everyone had a fantastic weekend!  I am so excited to say my little Bean is officially a Green Belt in Kickboxing (MMA).  He worked so hard and is a fantastic fighter!  So very proud of him!  Also this weekend was the very nerve racking baseball tryouts.  Holy moly, we live in small town Grand Junction and you would think it was the majors!  Plus the disorganization and the head of the tryouts thinking that giving 7 year old a TON of info all at once would make for a successful tryout....NOT!  Those poor kids didn't have a clue what they were supposed to be doing!  But it went well for Bean 3 major hits and caught both grounders and the fly ball.  WOW, I couldn't do that!  The ball would have hit me in the face!  Great job Bean!  You are my little slugger!

On a different note, today is the official blog hop with Perfect Paper Crafting and Serendipity Stamps.  If you decide to buy from either of these companies (I hope you do...they are fabulous) please use Jenn5% at checkout on Perfect Paper Crafting or your can find all Easter items on Serendipity at 20% off.

I have a great Rainbow card featuring Floral Dragonfly Stamp form Serendipity Stamps.  You will also find this card on Split Coast Stampers TLC472 Challenge today.  I am one of the TLC challenge hosts and thought that this card made a great technique!

I have used Really Reasonable Ribbons Checkboard Satin Black Ribbon.  Perfect Paper Crafting: Perfect Layers tool #2 were used to create a 1/16" mat boarder in black. 

I have also made a card using the Serendipity Heart Bouquet

It features Really Reasonable Ribbon's Baker's Twine Green Solid.

Perfect Paper Crafting: Perfect Layer's Tool #2 and created a 3/16" mat boarder around this adorable image.
