Have fun! And have a wonderful weekend! I am off to catch some sun at the beach for the first time this Summer! Yay!

I got an Award?!

Yes! How cool is that? Alright, I'll start from the beginning...
So, the day after I posted my last entry I lost my internet connection. (GRR! Stupid money!) Since I didn't have internet access for a few days I decided it would be a good time to sit and get a couple more cards made for my family and friends. (I'll share those in a minute) Needless to say, our friend who received the last card I shared really liked it. That makes me so happy! I feel like I give a little piece of my heart out with each card. <3 But what's really cool is, when I get my connection back, there is a comment under that post letting me know that my card was spotted by the Paper Craft Planet Blog! It was highlighted with 3 other beautiful cards/gifts. I am SO honored! See it here. Now if only I can figure out how to put the little award on my own blog, lol!!

So, you want to see the other cards I've made this weekend? Alright. I love sharing ;)

I made this one for a dear friend, who I actually met through my Grandma. She is the sweetest person I know!! I just love her. Here is Caryn's card:

 And the inside, which covers the entire inside of a 5x7 card:

The kit I used is "Pinky Swear" by Ellie Lash. I made the template based on a sketch from Karen Giron at  Sweet Sunday Sketch Challenge #101. Here is the layered template if you would like to make your own card. Obviously, I rotated it to make my card ;) (image is linked)

This is one I made for my Poor Grandpa, who is going through a tough time lately. He just spent from Wednesday through Sunday in the hospital again.

And the inside, again it fills the whole inside:

For this one I used Ellie's kit "Happy To Be". I just love the warm colors of this kit. And my template for this one was based on a sketch by Arlana Patten at Sweet Sketch Wednesday challenge #86. Again, I played and flipped this one a little, too.Here is my layered template. (image is linked)

And, one last one. This is one for anyone who just needs a little pick me up ;)

And the inside: 

For this card I used a kit by Loreta Labarca Designs called "Fabulous Girl".  And my template is based of  another sketch by Karen Giron at Sweet Sketch Sunday Challenge #96. She makes the most fabulous sketches! I love 'em!
Here is my layered version:

Well, I hope you enjoyed my cards, and I would LOVE to see what you can create from my templates! Leave me a comment and maybe a link to your creations below! I LOVE hearing from you!!!

He Loves Me...

Well, my hubby DOES love me, but I'm talking about Ellie Lash's new kit "He Loves Me". I had the pleasure of working with it this week and I just LOVE it! It is SO cute, but also very elegant. You can find my newest QP set in Ellie's store, and, as always, it's 30% off this weekend only! The image is linked to the store, so check it out!

Of course, I also have a QP freebie for you. I hope you like it!

I also made a Freebie for Ellie's CT Blog. It includes a Paper Stack, Cluster and Word Art. Click the image to find that one.

I hope this is the beginning of a wonderful weekend for you! Enjoy!

Update...

My Gingerbread QP pack is now available in the Ellie's personal Shop and it's 30% off this weekend! That makes it only $2.44. But after Sunday it will be full price at $3.49, so you better hurry if you want that discount! Here is it again:

I am now working with one of Ellie's newest kits, "He Loves Me". I LOVE this kit! It is SO adorable! In fact it's the kit I used to decorate my blog! ;) It's already in her shop, and at the same 30% discount through this weekend. Take a look, it's linked to the shop :

See? Isn't it too cute?! Don't you just LOVE that little froggy? My set will be finished very shortly and I just might have another freebie for you, too! So, watch for that!

Have a wonderful weekend!

And now the BIG news!

I am SO excited to share some exciting news with you! I am always being told that I should sell some of my cards and scrapbook pages to make a little extra money. But I've never taken it too seriously. I do what I do because I love it! But! I thought about it some more, and since I love Ellie Lash's kits so much I decided to ask her if she would consider taking me on as a QP Artist. Guess what?! She said Yes!!WooHoo!

She has this adorable kit in her shop called Gingerbread that I had to honor of working with for my first set. Here is a preview of the kit:

And here is my first QP set, which is linked to the shop:

But, because I love you all so much I made a QP freebie that coordinates with the set to give you a little taste!  ;)

I really hope you like it and I hope you will enjoy all my QP sets that are soon to follow! Oh! But I'm not only doing QPs, I will also be making Cluster Frames, Stacked Papers, and possibly some word art sets with some of Ellie's kits! I'm so excited ! I hope you are too! Thanks for supporting my new adventure!
