Dannie's creative outlet

Hello again Friends. I created this card and I absolutely love it. I wanted to create the trellis effect with vines and flowers going thru it. I actually created this card for no reason and then I was looking at some challenge blogs and realized this one would work for Crazy 4 Challenges . My colors are Pretty in pink, Cert. celery, Bashful Blue and Smooth white. I also punched out the flowers with my flower punch and I used a Martha Stewart punch for the Trellis's. The Butterflies are a sizzix Stampin Up! die. This card is not a standard A2. It is actually 6.5X4.5. I think this creation is super pretty, I haven't put a sentiment on it as I can do that when I am ready to use the card for something special. What do you think? Well, all for now. Time to watch Extreme couponing. Oh how I love that show and oh, how I love my coupons. I too am a coupon junkie!!! I will see you all real soon!

Hello Friends, How is everyone doing? I have been pretty un productive the last 2 weeks.I again am off of work for epicondilitis(or aka, Tennis elbow) I will be having surgery withing the next 3 weeks and recovery is possibly 8 to 12 weeks. This for me sucks because I will have to go back to work in Sept. for the beginning of the school year. I just have to really take it easy all summer long. I will be extremely limited in my creative endeavors but will try to at least do some coloring of which will not put any strain what so ever on my hand or wrist. I will keep you all posted on my elbow situation but for the moment, I have a challenge card to share with you all. This is for 2 challenges. The color throwdown of which the colors are And for the sketch challenge, It is from "clean & Simple Stamping" This was a pretty simple sketch to follow and since I havent been around too much lately, I wanted to have something to share with my friends. The sentiment I used ...

Well here I am friends. A day late but that's ok. I completed my 2nd. sketch challenge this week and it's only Tuesday. Yayyyy! This sketch is from Mojo Monday . Don't ya just love the Mojo Monday sketches? They are so fun and for me they always get me thinkin! I actually did minimal stamping on this one. The sentiment and the floral on the tiny tag is really the only stamping I did. My color scheme is Bashful Blue, Mauve Mist, Wild Wasabi and white. The DP is from American Crafts and what I did was cut out some of the flowers on the DO and added pop dots for some lift. The white ribbon was in my stash and was already tied into a bow so that was easy! I attached the tiny tag into the center of the bow with a paper tagger. That is my new little toy. I have been looking for things to make that I can use that nifty little toy! So, there you have it. My entry into Mojo Monday. I hope you all enjoy my creation and keep coming back to see what I have going on! See you all real so...

Happy Sunday my Friends. Well I am starting off the week with a challenge card. This one is for Sunday Sketch & Stamp I haven't been too productive lately. Have you ever had those days where you just sit there and look at all the pretty creations that your friends are making but you cannot come up with a darn thing? Well, That's where I have been lately. I have even gone off and worked on other projects just to get the creative juices flowing. Right now, I am sewing, scrapping, trying to decorate my home with the shabby chic/Vintage feel. I think I need some more projects. LOL ! So, I was pleasantly surprised at how this creation turned out. This is the first time I have used my new stamp sets ( Tiny Tags from Stampin Up! & "Sew Cute" from My little shoe box) My color scheme is Taken with teal, Chocolate Chip & rose red. I also used my tag gun to attach the tiny tag sentiment and added some gems to the form. I am not sure of the DP as it was some scr...

Hello my friends, Today I am sharing something different with you all. I really have every intention on catching up on my scrapbooking. I have been married almost a year and This is only the 2ND. page I have finished. Isn't that terrible? LOL! Well, For this layout I used a sketch from a wonderfully inspirational site called Sketch Inspiration . Take a look at the sketch above. Isn't it just fun? Well, as you can tell, my Wedding colors were Brown/Pink & Ivory so that is the reason for my color scheme. I also used my oh so wonderful and just beautiful Glimmer mist in "Tattered Leather" & "Cadillac Pink" on the flowers. Oh how I love the Glimmer Mists. messy but sooooooo much fun!! I added silver brads to the middles of each of the flowers. Sketch Inspiration has a different sketch challenge every week so I am going to try and make it a point to complete at least one page a week. I don't think I can do anymore than that so One a week will be goo...
