Hello everyone! For today's card I made a bright butterfly card with some older paper I had in my stash. I added a border from a border punch and stamped the sentiment and added bling to the butterfly.

The butterfly used was from the KaDoodle Bug Designs CUTESY SPRING OWLS  pattern set which you can purchase for $1 now HERE>

#1 Poodle Card

Hey everyone it's a brand new year 2015 and I'm gonna start numbering my projects again to see how many I can create within the year. Unfortunately most of my scrapbooking materials are buried in storage boxes so I apologize for this not being my best work, I am making do with what I have.

I made this card using KaDoodle Bug Designs Paris Girls pattern along with my Cricut Explore and a very old stamp set from Michaels $1 bin. I didn't use any ribbon here just all patterned paper. Hope you have a great day! :)

Hi everyone! Here's sneak peek #2 for the newest Scrappy Moms Stamps this set is called WEDDED BLISS! Perfect for any wedding you can make card or even wedding invitations with this set.

 The Cricut cartridge I used is the Close To My Heart Artiste cartridge for the envelope, card base, and also all shapes on the card. I used my Cuttlebug to emboss the background and I pulled out one of my favorite tools which is the i-rock it's been forever since I used it I actually had to replace the battery lol!

 I couldn't resist stamping the inside of this card this stamp set is just so beautiful! You can also see the embossing on the inner part of the card.

 This card would be perfect with someone who has a pink colored theme wedding I actually had pink as my main color because pink is my favorite color lol! I also added white tulle on the bride to make a vail and also silver stickles to the couple. The ink used on the sentiment is Close To My Heart WHITE DAISY ink Z2163 and the cardstock is also CTMH... HOLLYHOCK, BLACK, and WHITE DAISY.

#75 SMS Sneak Peek 3 Forgetful Daisy Card

Hi everyone! I am so sorry I totally forgot to schedule this post like 3 days ago yikes lol! Just like the card says Ooopsy Daisy!! ;)  I guess my mind has been all over the place lately with my honey being back from deployment I am so happy he is home safely in my arms we missed him so much!

This sentiment is so cute and adorable and I thought it went so well with this Daisy stamp from Peachy Keen Stamps PK-229A Large Flower Renee which I colored with Prismacolor pencils and also Stickles. I really wish I could get me some Copic markers but I know if I will be able to get my hands on some of those so I figured I will just practice my coloring more with my pencils I will make do with what I have and be happy! I used my fringe scissors to cut the grass and the sentiment is from Scrappy Moms Stamps new release FLOWER POWER STAMP SET available for purchase HERE!

#40 Sweet Angel Shaped Card

Hi everyone! Here's my 2nd Scrappy Moms Stamps sneak peek. I feel so horrible for not being able to craft much lately I don't know where my creativity has gone lately! I guess it's because my mind has been on a bunch of different things like my hubby is currently deployed in Afganistan I am so anxious for him to be home already this is our first deployment that we've had 2 kids. My baby girl is turning 1 already on Easter Day! Also, if you are a FACEBOOK FRIEND of mine you will know that I have been working extremely hard at losing weight! I started my weight loss journey on Jan. 18th and so far I have lost 32.4 lbs and also 2 dress sizes woooo-hoooooo!!!! I am actually thinking of posting my weight loss stuff/journey here on my blog or maybe create a separate blog I'm just not sure what to do! I  feel like this is just a scrapbooking blog but at the same time I get so inspired to hear about other crafty people's weight loss success so we'll see ;)

I decided to make a shaped card for this week's KaDoodle Bug Designs Facebook Challenge which is "Shaped Cards Challenge Week" I found this shaped card freebie on Birds' Cards Blog, and I used the KBD "Angel of Love" pattern for the heart, angel and cloud. I embossed the background using a butterfly swirl embossing folder for my Cuttlebug and stamped the sentiment using NEW SMS "From The Inside Out 2" stamp set. The face stamp I used is from the PKS 450-Wide Eyed Kids Assortment

Here are the new stamp sets available today in the SMS Store!
