Let it go.

Let it go.


Because they are day where the past comes back to haunt you.

Because they are days where what you thought were long forgotten things are coming back to the surface.

Because sometimes you see someone loosing its time with something that belong in the past.

I made that card.

A Sparkle'n Sprinkle balloons bouquet stamp, a white moon copic marker and a very simple font for a pre printed message.

Until next time

I Believe

I Believe.

Audrey Hepburn is one of my favorite actress, not only because of the way she acts (who can forget Breakfast at Tiffany's), but because of her humanitarian work.

Close to 10 years after her death, she is very much present, because of her undying image, and because of the legacy in charity works still  in operation today.

Nobody could have said those words below better:

Be Merry and Bright

Be Merry and Bright.

Same idea, but this time I punched three snowflakes with a QuickQuz die cut called Sparkle.

I punched those out of shiny white paper, for the "bright" part.

The sentiment was printed beforehand.

Until next time.

Warmest Wishes

Warmest Wishes

A quick and seasonal card, at least if you are lucky enough to live where palm trees  are in your everyday life even during the holidays.

I used a palm Tree All Night Media stamp and printed the Warmest Wished from my computer beforehand on Kraft paper.

I also stamped the palm tree trunk on a white fuzzy paper and added it to the stamped image.

Wishing you Rainbows and Sunshine (pastel colors)

Wishing You Rainbows and Sunshine

100 posts ago, I did a card that I really adore (post # 46) but it was pure hell to make.

After falling in love with those floral embellishments from Recollections, I revisited this lovely card, using pastel colors instead.

I added a drop of 3D paint in the center of the flowers.

I also punched the clouds out of a sky blue distressed paper with my Fiskars clouds punch.

Less work, more pleasure and a prettier card. Winner!!!!!

Until next time.

Where Has the Time Gone

Where Has the Time Gone.

Another birthday, another holiday and you cannot prevent your self from thinking, we were just there, but where has the time gone?

I used the Sprinkle'n Sparkle Birthday stamp set and used my copic markers to add touches of color.

The top sentiment is highlighted with sponged ink.

The edge is cut with a Martha Stewart edger punch.

Until next time.

Have Your Cake

Have Your Cake...
... and eat it too.


On your birthday, they should be procuration and you should be able to do the craziest thing and not be penalized for it. Like eating a pound of your favorite cake without worrying.

This is what the designers at Sparkle'n Sprinkle were thinking when they thought of that stamp.

I punched a small circle to let the image of the cake stand out and added the sentiment on the outside flap.

I then used a Martha Stewart edger punch to add a decorative edge to the card.

Newborn Feet

Newborn Feet.

Same card in different color... I found this baby feet image on the internet and printed it on a white linen liner. I then added a color card stock, and punched a little window with a Martha Stewart Punch all over the Page punch.

I used an EK edger punch to finish the card and added a little piece of ribbon at the spine of the card.

Happy Birthday Two Gifts

Happy Birthday Two Gifts.

Same card, different version... instead of a line of gift, I chose to use an EK punch and add two gifts from the Martha Stewart stamp and punch..

I added a little swirl punched with a Recollections mini punch, and an embossed sentiment from the Thanks a Bunch set from Sparkle'n Sprinkle.

Until next time.

Happy Birthday Hanging Gift

Happy Birthday Hanging Gift.

Another card of the same line, cf post # 129 and # 130.

I embossed the stamped sentiment this time, and added one more hanging gift.

The rest is the same: Martha Stewart edger punch, Martha Stewart stamp and punch Gift and Sparkle'n Sprinkle Thanks a Bunch set.

Here i the same card on a baby blue card stock. A whole different card... funny.

A Friend

A Friend...
... is the nicest thing to have.

Patricia, who commented below, should know it.

We have been friends since a little after being out of diapers (I wish) , 33 years ago. That makes us both 29.

In true friendship, the giving is sweeter than the receiving. In many occasions, I noticed that we both think and act the same when confronted with the same situation.

I don't know which one "bled" on the other, but that must be the meaning of sister souls.

-137-

I printed the quote with two fonts, so that "nicest" and "best" would stand out.

I added a Teddy Bear stamped image and a blue matting.

Until next time.

You Make Me Smile

You Make Me Smile.

When my kids were little I had this Disney characters crib linen that got ripped but in no way was I going to trash it.

I actually use it... a lot! Not for crib lining, but each time I need a Disney Character... do you see it, bottom right?

Yes, it is made out of cloth.

I printed the sentiment on white linen, added a touch of color with my White Moon copic marker, a stamped on striped blue card stock teddy bear and a Martha Stewart bow.

All that on kraft paper.

Until next time.
