Who is the Boss here anyway!!

So here sits my little kitty..  Just look at her sitting there acting
all sweet and innocent.   Can you see where she is sitting?
That's my table in my craft room.  Well I guess lately all my stuff
has been in her way and she is having trouble getting to the window to
look out..   So she solved that problem..  She just takes her
paw and pushes the clutter right off the table..


The funny thing is that this table has been here under the window for
at least a year!!  And she has just decided in the last couple of week 
that this table is hers..


*****

Well I have a fun little Tag to share with you today.
I made this Tag for this weeks Tag Tuesday Challenge.
The theme this week is Valentine!



When I saw this image I just knew I was going to use it..
I just think it is sooo sweet..



I got this image from Clearly Vintage.


Punched me a couple of hearts and stamped on them..
and of course some stitching and a pretty bow
to finish it off..

To take a look at all the other entries you can hop on over to
Kard Krazy!  Thanks Louise for another fun Challenge.


Well I guess I'm just going to have to learn to share!!
Wait a minute...
Does that make her the Boss?

I hope everyone is having a wonderful week!

Hugs, Linda

Where the heck did it go!

 I don't know if this has ever happened to you.. but I have
lost it..  You know what I mean don't you..  Sure you do!
I just woke up the other morning and it was gone..
I looked everywhere for it..  But nope.. No where to be found..

You know what I am talking about don't you..  My Creative Mojo..
I looked under my bed and in the dishwasher..
  But I can't find it anywhere..  It's really hard to get things done with out it..
  If you know what I mean!!  If someone know where I can find
 it please let me know.. Cause I really
do miss it!  Have you ever lost your Creative Mojo?

Well I guess I better get down to the business at hand..
It is that time of the week again. Time for another challenge over at
City Crafter Blog Challenge.
Yep! Yours truly is Hosting this week!
 (Can you believe it, I am hosting with out my Mojo).

I did come up with a fun little challenge before I lost it.

SEW FUN!

I must say I think it is a perfect challenge.. If you know me at all
you know I love to put stitching on all my projects..
SEW that's it.  Just add some kind of stitching to your project.
 Or you can just create a project with something to do with sewing..





I used kraft paper and brown card stock to create this card.
That little stamped tag is from stamp'n up..





Of course some sewing and ribbon and buttons.. I even put on a couple of snaps.




So if you would like to join us this week you can get all the details over

I am also entering this card into a challenge going on over
at The Kraft Outlet - Where anything goes.


Thanks so much for stopping by and listening to me go on and on
I really do appreciated it!   I just know for sure I will
get my mojo back any day now!!

Hugs, Linda

Tag Tuesday!

Hello Friends, I am back with my Tag I made for this weeks
Tag Tuesday Challenge.

This week Louise has asked us to make a Winter Tag!




This weeks Tag is a little different than what I have been doing!
I pulled out my inks and Decoupage Finishes..
I just love using this sepia finish from Royal coat..



I am pretty sure I got this image from the Graphic Fairy.
I have had it for so long I kinda forget where I got it from.
 
The Background was printed from a site that I had just stumbled onto.. Cemerony!
  A lot of wonderful images there!
To see all the other entries you can hop on over to
Kard Krazy to check out all the other entries..

Thank you for stopping by..  All your sweet comments make me Smile!

Thursday Already...

I am always amazed at how fast time goes by for me..
I can't believe it is already Thursday..

So I am back to show you a fun little card I made for one of the
gals I work with..  Today is her Birthday!


I got this image sometime ago from Bugaboo Digi Stamps..  I just think it is such
a cute image..  Then again I think all there images are adorable.


I kinda whipped this one up pretty quick so I didn't color
it as well as I would have liked to..


I added some stitching and some punched little flowers.

(inside)

I bought her a bottle of Wine for her Birthday
so I thought this card would go perfectly!



I am linking this card up to Sunday Sketch and Stamp.

Thanks so much for stopping by..
I always love the company!

City Crafter Challenge #40

Another week has flown by.  And here I am again doing my post
for City Crafter Challenge Blog.. But before I get started I
just wanted to say Thank You all so much for all the
sweet comments..  It really does make my heart happy!
Thanks again! I really do appreciate it!



So here we are already on week #40 over at CCCB!
Our wonderful leader Kirsty is Hosting this week and she want us
to do a project with handmade flowers..

  So Here is what I came up with!




I know your think another Tag for goodness sakes!  But This is not
just a Tag as you will see!



Of course I had to add some stitching and some yummy seam binding,
I got from Kirsty (Thanks)..  And my little Thanks stamp is from Verve.



So here is my hand made flower.. This is the first time I have made one
like this..  And I must admit it was pretty fun to make..
Yep.. That is glitter again..  Two weeks in a row.. What was I thinking!



So this Tag has an extra little pocket to Tuck in a little gift card..



I made a bunch of these about a year ago and
gave them to the ladies I work with.. I put a little candy bar in
the pocket instead of a gift card!  But a Tea Bag would work
well also!


Here are the die cuts I used to make my flowers..  So that's it!
That's my little project for this week!

 To get all the details on this challenge you can hop on over to
 CCCB! 

The winner this week will get to be our Guest Designer.

I hope everyone has an awesome week!

Hugs, Linda

Tag Tuesday...

It has been a such a nice week for me so far.
I am back to work and getting back into the groove of things..
I can't believe it is already Thursday.  Time is just flying by!

I am so Happy that I got to play along with Tag Tuesday this week!
I was so busy last month that I didn't get a chance to play along.

Louise at Tag Tuesday has come
up with a great theme this week.
 Mosaic.



So here is the Tag I am entering in the challenge..
On all my little squares I used K&Co Paper.
As you can tell I used my square punch and
 I also used my butterfly  punch. 



OK, so I didn't do such a great job with the glitter, But I
didn't know that till I got this close up shot on the computer.



This little sentiment I got from Verve.



I really am happy with the way this turned out.
Except for the glitter..  Hee Hee..

If you would like to see all the other entries you can hope over to

Kard Krazy
HERE!

I have some yummy soup in the crock pot and hubby
should be home anytime.. So I better get off this computer.

Take card my friends and I just want to say Thank you so
much for all you wonderful comments. They do make me feel
so happy..   Hugs, Linda
