WCMD 2015 - Card Share!

Hi all! It is me once again, and I wanted to share with you one of the cards I've made today celebrating World CardMaking Day!  I've actually made two cards today, but the other is a birthday card for my mom, and I don't want that "published" yet as you probably would understand :)

I made this card using various supplies from various of my favorite stamp companies!  This card is serving many purposes - obviously for today's special day, but also I will share this on the Simon Says Stamp Blog for the celebration of WCMD.  I also wanted to send this card out to a special friend!!  

I am obsessed with THIS Cover Up die from MFT!  It is so fun and versatile!  I wanted to add a big of texture to my frame, so I embossed it with a diagonal stripes embossing folder.  I also used THIS stamp set from Mama Elephant.  It is one of my favorite stamp sets ever!!  I also used the Friend Die that coordinates with the stamp set.  The pattern paper I used is also from MFT!  Love this mint color!  My fav!!  And, those adorable sunflowers..well they came from Gleeful Gardens from Lawn Fawn.  A lot of my favorite products were used making this card - but that's what its about - using your favorite products making cards you love!

Hope you've had a fantastic and fun day!!

Happy World CardMaking Day 2015!

Hi all!! I wanted to wish all my card making friends today Happy World CardMaking Day!  This is a special day for card makers!  We all love this hobby for one reason or another, and I am sure that we share a lot of the same reasons!

It is a hobby that brings out your creativity!  It is a hobby that allows us to escape our everyday stresses!  I am happy and so blessed to have found this hobby - more or less it found me.  I can't believe its been 6 years already that I've been crafting, and creating cards - but I have loved and learned every day since.  I have also made some amazing friends - which I have never met in person, but hope to one day.  That sure hasn't diminished the friendship quality though!!

I have also discovered the world of Youtube, and becoming a "Youtuber" - and the whole video making process.  If you would have told me that I would currently have almost 1600 subscribers on my YT channel, I would have laughed!  Me...on video...making cards??!!  But here I am, and I have loved the whole process of growing with that as well.

Of course, there are many of our favorite companies that are helping us celebrate, and here is just a few!!

I hope you are able to take the time today to get creative and crafty!!  The weekends are my filming days for my YT channel - so I will celebrate too!!  Have a fun, festive happy day!! #WCMD15

I'm back!! Happy WCMD!

Hi all!!  First let me say it has been a rough and an emotional few months - Sadly - my father in law passed away two weeks ago - so needless to say I've had to focus on my family lately, but with anything - life does go on, and we have to move on and live life.  So - I am glad to be back on the blog.  OK- with that said -

Happy World Card Making Day!!!  For Card Makers, this day is a happy one.  To be quite honest - I really haven't had the opportunity to celebrate this day the way I'd like since I've become a card maker.  However, I enjoy looking at all the inspiration and excitement for this day around blog land!!  It makes me happy that I involved with such a happy hobby!!  There are so many wonderful people in the crafting community, and I have made some wonderful friends along the way!!  I hope to meet some of them in person one day! So -
I thought I would share a card to celebrate the occasion!

This card was a fun one to make!  Most of the supplies used are from the SSS July Card Kit.  I hope that if you are a card maker, that you are able to enjoy the way it is intended -making cards!!!
