Just popping by to share a couple of cards I made for a recent Paper Crafts call based on a sketch. Neither card got picked up so I thought I'd share them with you. :)
That's all for now. Time to finish writing out the rest of my Christmas cards. :)

Paper Crafts magazine Presents: Card Creations: Get Inspired Blog Hop!
Hi everyone!!
Today I'm excited to be part of Paper Crafts Card Creations: Get Inspired blog hop!
I had so much fun working on cards for this issue! I enjoyed going through all the inspirational pieces and trying to figure out what I could take from them and put on paper. Since I'm a stamper at heart a lot of this involved going through my stamps and seeing how I could work them into projects that represented the inspirational pieces.
For today's blog hop I decided to make a card based on my daughter's new snowsuit. I LOVE the pink, gray, and white colour combination and the design of the scattered flowers. (The cute girl wearing it didn't hurt either). ;)
I took the yummy colour combination and paired it with some scattered snowflakes to come up with a Christmas card for this great cause:

Paper Crafts Holiday Cards & More project
Hi everyone,
I'm back to a share a project of mine that's in the current issue of Holiday Cards & More by Paper Crafts. I'm still waiting (impatiently) for my copy to come in the mail as I have 5 projects in this one (a record for me)! :)
Anyways, here's the one I decided to share:
The case insert is made with Hero Arts and Papertrey Ink stamps, Echo Park and Papertrey Ink papers and my beloved Sizzix snowflake die. My initial thoughts for the CD itself were to use Staz-on ink with the Hero Arts snowflake stamps on a regular CD. I really wanted to use blue ink and only had white and black Staz-on. Going through our office supplies I came across some printable CDs and thought I'd give inking on one a try with regular (chalk) ink. It worked!
Hope you all have a great day and enjoyable weekend! My kids are at the in-laws today and I'm trying to take advantage of it and get a little touch up painting done around here.

Feeling blue...
Hi everyone,
Popping in real quick to share an "overlooked card" that I submitted to the latest Paper Crafts call (for their January/ February 2012 issue). One of the categories was for 'blue' cards. I only made one card for this catty but was really happy with it. In fact it was my favourite of the ones I submitted over all. I do have 3 projects in this issue so keep your eyes open for it. ;)
Anyways, here's my card:
I had fun embellishing all the butterflies that were die cut from My Mind's Eye Stella & Rose papers and like how they look against the gray background...
Hope everyone has a happy day. I'm hoping to get some housework done, do some organizing, and spend some good time with the kids.

Christmas Reject
Hi everyone,
Thought I'd pop by and share one of my rejects from the Paper Crafts 'Holiday Cards & More' call. I was fortunate to have some things picked up for the issue but here's my favourite reject:
I thought it'd be fun to stick a candy cane on the card and am happy with how it turned out. Part of me is glad it wasn't picked up... I'd be worrying away about the candy cane breaking in the mail or while waiting for it's picture to be taken. I've tucked it away in my stash and will be sure to give it to someone special (and local) at Christmas. I had a very different one with 2 candy canes on it that I wasn't all that thrilled with and happily took it apart so the kids could split the candy. ;)
Anyways, I'm glad it's no where near Christmas. I'm enjoying the warmth and sunshine we're FINALLY getting. Puts me in such a happy mood. :) The fact that we're down to the last few subjects with our homeschooling helps too. ;)
Hope everyone's having a great week too!
Hugs!

Thank you! (and giveaway winner)
I just wanted to thank everyone for the sweet comments left during the Lily Pad Cards blog hop! You're all too sweet! Although following my blog wasn't a requirement for my giveaway I'd like to thank those of you who do. I can't believe that my # of followers went from 99 Monday morning to 156 as of today! Wow! Thank you! :)
So without further ado, the winner of my giveaway (picked by random.org) is:
I also wanted to share a card I made this week for a very special man who's battling cancer.
This dear man has been an amazing example to me of trusting God during the difficult times. He's been experiencing more pain lately and so if you could keep Jack and his family in your prayers I'd appreciate it. Thanks. :)
Hope you all have a wonderful weekend. It's finally starting to feel like spring here. :)

Pairing up with Tanya... take two!
I'm back from Scrapfest and getting back into the swing of things here at home. I'm planning to post about my adventures (along with a giveaway) tomorrow. Today I'm excited to post the 2nd of 3 pairing up challenges with scatteredstamper (Tanya) from the Hero Arts flickr group. I'm also entering this is the Caardvark CAS challenge found here. This week we decided to use Hero Arts 'Kiss from the Sun' clear set. I hadn't broken this one in yet and so I was glad for the extra motivation.
Here's my card:
