Do Overs...

Don't you wish life was that easy? I meant to keep up my blog, I meant to show all the fun stuff I've created- but didn't. SO, I've given myself permission to start over. And you know what? It's O.K. I'll try again. I haven't stopped paper crafting, just haven't made the time to post. So here I am again. Hope you come along side to be inspired to let yourself do it over and start fresh! I'm jumping right back in to a swap over at Splitcoast Stampers. Hope you like these magnet butterflies I put on clothes pins. Enjoy!

Card Candy

I was going to use this card candy for convention... but since I'm not going, I'm going to have to join a card candy swap! This is a beautiful butterfly. I also used the Sizzix tag die, I love the way it layers so well.

Love the HOT SPOT

Archivers has a section of "hot spot" items that are all $1.99. Can you believe this bird stamp was a hot spot item? More colors that I am venturing out to use too. I also used the large scalloped circle from Nesties. A little bling on the left side just gives it a little balance. Hope you are inspired to try new color combinations too.

BEE- HAPPY

I cased this tent style card from MISH of course. It's her signature card. This little bee came from a set that I picked up at Archivers. Not sure if you can tell, but the heart is filled with Sickles! Did you also notice that I pulled out my button collection too? It's been forever that I used them- I do love thos buttons.

Love ths set...

I really like this SU set- These are some of my favorite colors. These are the same colors I used in re-decorating my bedroom too! This is one of the sets that will take on a whole different look with various color combinations. Have a great weekend and Happy 4th of July!

Get well...

I didn't have any get well cards in my stash! I totally cased this one from Mish- I love her work! I know I've said before that I stalk her blog daily! The slipper stamps is Karen Lockhart stamp.

These colors are a little different for me- but I'm always trying to get out of my comfort zone!

HELLO...

I really thought summer time would slow us all down and give me more time to "create"... WRONG! I hope everyone is enjoying their summer. Still getting use to this Colorado weather- hot in the day, thunderstorms and lightening in the evening. CRAZY! Well, for starters, we just had our 22nd wedding anniversary, so I have to show you what Joey made for us. Lots of artistic talent running in the Casa de Lilya!

I actually ave managed to come up with a few projects myself.

Hope you like this card
