A Ticket on a Tag?

Well I was starting to think I might not do this weeks TAG TUESDAY! I could not come up with a ticket. Yes, that was the challenge this week to put a ticket on your tag. I have not one ticket that I could find. So I made one. The ticket you see here was some Numbers I printed on my computer and then with a red pen I did the outlining and punched each corner and there you have it my ticket. The rest of it was a lot of fun playing with! I wasn't going to glitter my butterfly but when I saw the challenge over at THE SHABBY TEA ROOM, I decided to glitter it up so I could put it in there challenge which is Get your bling on. I think my butterfly has a little bling?

What do you think!

Thank you Louise over at Kard Krazy and Debbie at the Shabby Tea Room for your challenges!

It's almost Friday! YEA!

Thanks for stopping by and taking a peek!

Embrace The White!

Well I have had a smile on my face most of the afternoon,
that's because I had the chance to do some of my favorite challenges.

This is the card I made for This this weeks Shabby Tea Room.

The Challenge was to Embrace the White. The sketch

I used is from Mojo Monday!

This little guy just popped up on one of my vines

I have never seen flowers on it before so it

was a nice little surprise.

Some Monday Challenges!

Well Spring is here and I think more spring is blowing is as

we speak... It is so windy here in Vegas that I can't

even go outside to mess around in my yard. So not all

is lost, The next best thing is messing around in my

craft room!

Here is a card I made using two different challenges,

A lot of folks do this, but I usually stick with one challenge.

The card theme is from my new favorite card challenge,

"The Shabby Tea Room". The challenge is Spring Inspired

with stitching on the card. And the sketch is from none other

than "Mojo Monday".

I'm lucky enough to have a whole room just for crafting!

It's a work in progress, as you can see!

Here is my little stash of cards I have made!

Thanks for stopping by and taking a little peek!

Hopefully you enjoyed your stay!
