Welcome to the  2017 SPRING Coffee Lovers Blog Hop!!!!

For starters here is my project for Day #6

I am making my card all TH like and then I realize, wait a minute this is suppose to be spring. I don't know but for the life of me I keep forgetting this is a SPRING theme. So I added a flower to one of the cups a heart to another and then some leaves in vellum coming out of the third cup to give it that first sign of greenery you see on the tip of a branch just after the last snow. The low battery need caffeine stamped image is from Hero Arts - "Need caffeine" inked with TH walnut stain. The three little cups are from cottage cutz and the dp is DCWV and the washi tape at the top is from the sweet stamp shop

Happy Sunday and a butterfly

CLICK HERE for DL.ART Thankful Thursday #148 Challenge "HAPPY NEW YEAR"



Happy Sunday,

I wanted to share a "blast from the past"  I made this a couple of years ago for my mom. She loved it. With the pink it is so feminine and pretty and I thought it was perfect for mothers day.

I made the resin butterfly with Creative inspiration paints. I came across this photo and thought I might like to make another. This was super easy and quick to make, the box that is.  The resin butterfly was easy also, it just took some patience waiting for it to dry, so I could use it.

Supplies:

DCWV- mariposa

vellum

SVGCUTS

rhinestones from CIP

I loved making this.

Have a blessed day, Diana

Link up at  my friend Karen's blog Little Scrap Pieces

We had a beautiful Sunny day here yesterday. I had a  dinner to go to last night, so I started on this at 8:00am.  I ran out of dowels had to go to the craft store to buy more. While I was out I thought I might as well get a gym workout in.   I was running out of time other wise the hosts would have gotten 12 roses. Traffic was horrendous, normally it would take 10 minutes to get to where I was going for dinner, this time it took 45. That is what happens when you live in a tourist town and it is memorial weekend.
Happy memorial Weekend.
I love the holidays.

CLICK HERE for my DL.ART Thankful Thursday challenge ending September 8

Hi again Friends,

In between all the labor that is going on around the house today. I was able to eek in another card.

I thought my card was looking rather elegant until I added the peachy face, now I think it has a lot of character, which by the way, is the name of the stamp set everyday character faces. I always love these MOJO  sketches, but for some reason today I feel way behind, maybe because I am doing extra things.
I am being very careful of my shoulder. (I know that's what your all thinking she better not injure her self again) I promise I will be careful.

I hope you like my card.

Falls around the corner

Good Morning Friends,

Fall is around the corner and I am always inspired by the fall colors, textures, patterns and smells.
With the going back to school Frenzy I thought I would decorate a composition notebook for my self.

Composition notebooks of today don't look to bad the way they come,  but isn't it always nice to decorate one and have it be original, totally you. I love hounds tooth and herringbone, they definitely remind me of the fall, but also very masculine. I added a little bit of the lacy paper to give it a slight touch of femininity.  I went for clean and simple look on this.  I cut the little swatches of card stock out at 2 inches square, except for the brick patterned on it would have ruined the design.

 I used PTI smokey grey and Kraft, all my other papers are DCWV

The labels are form spellbinders label eighteen

My Twine is from the twinery, cappuccino and my button is from MME indie chic

This will be the journal I will use for the rest of the year, unless I decide to give it away.
I hope you like my project and I hope you have a blessed day, Diana

Tuesday Evening- Peachy Keen has a sketch challenge going on here it is.

This is for the Peachy keen Sketch challenge this week. I did  not use a cricut cut, although I did use two punches. My card stock is PTI and DCWV. I used Inkadinkadoo for the sentiment and Jenni Bowlin Brown sugar ink. This is a 5 x7 card.

This card also qualifies for the Tuesday Throw down: Circles.
Thanks for coming by, I enjoy reading each and every comment.
I hope you are all having a stress-free pre -Thanksgiving  countdown
Sisterhood of crafters: polka dots 

What happened in 1621?

Tuesday- Celebrate the Occasion CHALLENGE #40 celebrating Thanksgiving

This is Challenge # 40 over here at Celebrate the Occasion.

The challenge is to create a Thanksgiving card and you must use a button. I hope you will visit all the CTO design team members for inspiration on this challenge and then begin a design of your own, then link it up before Sunday November 27th  by 11:59 p.m.

I went for the simple design here.  I fussy cut this wreath and cut about a third of it off glued it to the paper and then stamped Happy Thanksgiving, I rounded the corners and that is the end of the story.

EASY . Oh yes I added a button with twine. I took along time cutting out the wreath. I think it came out very pretty the paper is from DCWV.  My stamp is and old one that I have had for years a good old fashioned rubber stamp by stampendous. I used versamark onyx black ink.

I hope you all have a very stress free and Blessed Thanksgiving.

Big Hugs, Diana

THURSDAY-- THROW BACK THURSDAY-CHALLENGE

I'm back again, another Challenge.
This time it is for the Throwback Thursday challenge which (or is it WITCH, because of the theme)
the THEME is Purple, Green, Black and Orange.

I did not use any white on mine at all , and for the sentiment I used Black Sakura GLAZE, which is really cool because it is shiny-- and I wrote Stay Safe!!!- Hopefully everyone will be.
This is an A7 size card
The paper for the card is Recollections from Micahels
The other is DCWV
and Debbie Mum from Joannes

The ribbon and lace are from Holiday inspirations
I used foam tape and ATG gun scotch 3m quick dry
I did not use any cricut cuts on this
