Sympathy Card using Bo Bunny stickers

Like most of you I am sure I dread making sympathy cards as it means someone is suffering. I tend not to stockpile them in my stash, it's almost a superstitious thing for me. A wee little peek into that brain of mine lolz. Of course there are times when you need to have one and in this case I needed to have one in a hurry. I found this sticker pack from Bo Bunny from the Jazmyne line as I have a hard time resisting anything that is purple, my fave colour. Pair it with green and I am done lol. I took a white sheet of Bazzil cardstock , placed the sticker and stamped a sentiment inside. This sentiment I grabbed from SGD from The Stamp Barn did my heart in..."When someone you love becomes a memory, the memory becomes a treasure". Just perfect and it totally made my heart twinge.

Hope you like this suuuper fast card and hug the ones you love today. xoxo Andi

All things Unity Inspiration 07

Sara has given us a cool photo to use as inspiration for our All Things Unity challenge. I used a quote from one of the previous kit of the month's paired up with the DeLovely line by Cosmo Cricket. Such fun bright colours to play with! I also used some of my treasured ribbon I got from SGD along with my paper. I used a Martha punch along the bottom, added some flat backed pearls and voila! Oh, and I TOTALLY borrowed the sketch from Papercrafts magazine's Sketch a day book. Pretty much exactly heh heh. I am soo layout challenged. I hope there are others out there like me!

Texture time at Kraftin' Kimmie stamps

This week's challenge over at Kraftin' Kimmie stamps is to add texture to your card. Lots of different ways you can do this one such as adding fabric flowers and flower soft like I did or even distressing your paper. I used one of my fave Cindy and Mindy stamps called 'Daddy's little girl' as it just melts my heart. To help get some more inspiration hop on over to our challenge blog by clicking here and see how the other Krafty Girls added texture to their card.

Have a fabulous weekend! xoxo Andi

Happy Canada Day from my High Hopes card...

Okay, I am soooo in love with this Canada themed stamp. Seriously......seriously!! It was one of my fun stamps that I received from Amy from the cool Paper Romance online store. You can find this image by clicking here under the new Dustin Pike High Hope images. I really like his drawing style! I coloured him a differently than the sample supplied by Dustin on Amy's website and used pics I found online as inspiration. I then used strips of red leafed paper from the fall Basic Grey release.

I have always meant to send cards for Canada to show more of my patriotism. I also have a cool cake I want to make (or have hubby make lol) from the Kraft Canada website that uses strawberries to make the shape of our flag.

Hope you have a great weekend and great weather where ever you are! Andi

Better late than never- let's get our Whimsy on!

*please click on pic for a closer look*

I am soooooo late today with my post. Lot's of reasons why but let's just say life gets in the way sometimes lolz. BUT I am here now and ready to share my card today again using our sponsor Sweet Pea stamps. Before I go any further I would like to thank our May sponsor's Sweet Pea stamps and to steal Jacquie's great term the awesomated Randi for organizing this for all of us. Our guest inspiration kiddies today are Kim's girls Kaeli and Emilie and their dare was to make our cards sparkle. Oh...sweet girls after my own heart- I am such a glitter girl! I coloured my mermaid with copics and then used different colours of glitter on her mermaid tail. I hope my card has enough bling girls- if it doesn't it's because the rest of the glitter is all over me, my dog and my 2 cats from the clouds of glitter from my craft studio. Yep you read that right....my studio...formerly known as my craft room. A couple of fun ladies I was colouring with last night decided we are 'artiste's' (said with a hoity toity tone) and one lady correctly pointed out that as an artiste my work space can't be called just my craft room but rather my craft studio. I agree and I appreciate you bringing this to my attention.

Okay...now lean in closer....I want to let you in on a little secret- we may have a big announcement to share with you next Wed and let me just say I am soooo jealous about what part of this announcement means for you. I am soo terrible at keeping good secrets. My hubby and I have to buy each other's gifts the week before Christmas or we run the risk of caving and exchanging them early lolz.

To help get your mojo running I invite you to hop on over to the challenge blog to get started on this week's challenge details or to see my fellow daredevil's delish creations. I have also included the links below. Enjoy your day and thanks for stopping by!

May card kit from SGD using Zoe gazing at butterfly

Just wanted to pop in and share my card that I made using the May card kit from SGD. I used Zoe gazing at butterfly from Stampavie and I just adore how much she reminds me of a Holly Hobby image. Did anyone else used to love Holly Hobby? I even had a Holly Hobby oven as a child- no easybake oven for me! Sadly my parents informed me that it was very hard to get the cake mixes for this oven and I never got them again after making up all my mini cakes and forcing my parents to eat them. My mother has a weak stomache and I can still remember the look on her face. I also remember getting my Cute Grandma (that's what we called her) to eat one and she got a weird look on her face and asked if hers had coconut in it. I don't think it did hee hee. Pretty sure I know why those cake mixes were so hard to find- yah sure Mom and Dad! Mind you my kids have a few toys that regretfully you can only buy replacement batteries for them in Japan. So sad **cough cough**. hee hee.

We just had a long weekend here in Ontario and it was perfect weather on Sunday and Monday. Saturday wasn't as nice but I ended up with a touch of belly flu so it was a good day to stay inside and watch telly. I was able to spend some time directing my hubby on how to do the gardening on Sunday. I am SURE he appreciated my feedback =).

Well, I am off to my craft room. Enjoy your day!
