Have you checked out all of the beautiful cards from Stephanie and her Team yesterday? LOVE them!!
What a bunch of creative girls!!

Today i will be showing you one of my favorite new Set's called Sweet little Sentiments!!
I love...love the font,and how sweet that they match her Word Dies!! I am still missing some of her Word Dies, since they are always sold out right away!! Hopefuly next time!! :)

For my first card,i did a little watercoloring on the background using Distress Inks.
I've also used Clearly Besotted's beautiful Elegant Butterflies Stamps and Dies.


For my second card,i again did some watercoloring using Distress Inks. First i stamped the background using Clearly Besotted's Love Hearts and Mini Love Hearts Stamps and heat embossed them with white embossing powder.I stamped a butterfly from CB's Elegant Butterlies on Vellum and also heat embossed it with white embossing powder!
The banner comes from the Basic Banners Set!


And for my third card i used Clearly Besotted's Love Blossom Set!!

Freshly Made Sketches #139

Hello everyone,

Happy Wednesday!!

So,how was your week so far?

Welcome to a new Freshly Made Sketches Challenge!!
This weeks Sketch is made by Rita!!! Awesome Sketch,just like all of the cards she creates!! She has an awesome style!! Love it!!


I must admit,it took me 3 tries,until i kind of liked my card! Maybe because i haven't used Tags on my cards for quite a while.One thing that still bothers me,that i cut the twine a little short.But i glued it down with Glossy Accents,and didn't wanted to tear my card,by trying to take it off.Oh well...!! ;)


supplies: My Creative Time - Tag Dies, Clearly Besotted - A little Sentimental - You Are - Diagonal Stripes, Avery Elle - Hello Die, Hero Arts - Shadow Inks, MME - Enamel Dots, Sequins, Glossy Accents, Wink of Stella, AC - Eyelet

What a fun Set!!
Like yesterday,i will be showing 2 cards!

For my first card,i used a diecut from this set and embossed it with gold and silver embossing powder. I kept it pretty simple! The stripes in the background is made with Clearly Besotted's Basic Stripes! I used 3D foam on the middle one for a little dimension!!



For my second card,i've used one of the cute chemistry bottles.The background was also created with one of the stamps that are included in this Set.I stamped it a few times,heat embossed it with white embossing powder and went over it with Distress Ink.
The stars underneith the bottle was cut with Clearly Besotted's Superstar Set!

Text Me - Clearly Besotted Guest Design

Hello everyone,

You have NO idea how happy and excidet i am to be Clearly Besotted's Guest Designer this Month!!!!!
As i was reading Stephanie's e-mail,where she asked me,if i would like to be her Guest Designer in June,i thought,"yeah right...where is the hidden camera"!! ;)
So i read it again,well,quite a few times,until i realized she really did ask ME! No way,i would have said no...so i did my own little happy dance...don't ask!! haha

This Stamp and Die Set called Text Me,is so perfect for all of the Teenagers in our lifes!! Incase you may struggled sometimes ( at least i did ),to create the RIGHT card for a young grown,with this set you no longer will!! Oh my...that just sounded like a cheap commercial! haha
My daughter Jamie is 14,and she LOVES it! She never really cares much for my craft goodies,i mean hey,there are more exciting things out there for a Teenager...but she was so into this Set,that she wanted to diecut the phone and stamp it! Let's say,i had a little help on my first card!! ;)

I thought,it would be fun to turn the phone into a shaker card!
I had two diecuts of the phone, and cut out the middle part on the top one and glued acetate behind it.
For the bottom layer of the phone i used distress ink to color it in,and glued down the little app icons!
The striped background was created with Clearly Besotted's Basic Stripes!


other supplies: Hero Arts - Shadow Inks, String, Sequins, Distress Inks, Glossy Accents

Here comes my second card using the same Set Text Me
This one looks pretty girly,but using different colors...perfect boys card!!
I love these cute little controllers!!

other supplies: Simple Stories Papers, MME - Enamle Dots, Glossy Accents, Doodlebug - Glitter Paper

All of the new Clearly Besotted goodies, that will be shown in the next few days will be available on June 5th!!

Just a few...

Hi everyone,

Happy Friday!! :) Yes...finaly! :)
I hope everyone had a wonderful week!! Ours was ok,like always! ;) The weather isn't as good as it could be,but it could be worse!

I made a few cards the last couple of days and they are all made with Clearly Besotted goodies!
I got a few new Set's that i haven't used right away,and with the fair going on in town,it gave me a little time to make some cards using these Sets! My girls just enjoy their time with their friends there and Mom get's to craft! hehe

I hardly craft cards anymore just because.Actualy most of them are made for Challenges.But only because i am drowned in cards! ;) I cut back,the moment i realized, i have way to many cards,and not enough family members or friends to give them to! hehe
Anywhom...

Yes,a Easter card! :) I mean hey,there will be another Easter next year!! ;)

Happy Wednesday!!
I hope all of you had a great week so far!! :)

Welcome to a new Freshly Made Sketches Challenge!
We have one awesome Sketch for you this week,by Narelle!!
I loved her Sketch the minute i saw,so easy to work with!! Love it!!


I finaly got the Elegant Butterflies Set from Clearly Besotted,they where always sold out pretty quickly.I did some watercoloring on the Butterfly,using a Waterbrush and Distress Inks.To make sure the colors stay in place ( i am sure i would have colored over the lines ;) ),i stamped the butterfly with Versafine Black Onix Ink and heat embossed it with Clear Glitter Embossing Powder!
For the background i used Heidi Swapps Chevron stencil and dabbed Distress ink over it.
