Festive Friday #36

Hello my friends!

I hope everyone has had a wonderful week! The weather here has been unbelievable, highs in only the 70's. That is unheard of here for this time of year. I just wish it would last :)

It's time again for another challenge at Festive Friday!

Here is the gorgeous inspiration photo for this time around. I was inspired by this photo to try a white on white card. I have seen this done and admired it so much. I've always wanted to try it, so I did!

I was also inspired by that bunny on the table ;)

I first cut out the grey blue mat , layered the trees and snow hills in the background. I cut out and added the fence with foam tape, then added more snow hills in front of that. Next I cut out all of the greenery ( or do I say whitery?) and just kind of stuck it here and there with a dab of glue. Last but certainly not least, I added the sentiment and that cute bunny.

Supplies:
Mat and snow drifts- My Favorite Things
 Fence- Papertrey Ink
Bunnies- Impression Obsession
Branches- Poppy Stamps
Holly- Impression Obsession
Fir Tree Border- Impression Obsession

I hope you will play along with us at Festive Friday!

You can also check out the amazing talent from the other design team members at Festive Friday!

Also, I have added 20 new ornaments to my Etsy store! 10 full size ornaments and 14 mini ornaments! You can see them all HERE

Thank so much for stopping by!

I hope you all have a safe and happy weekend! 

Hugs,

Kay :)

More Lawn Fawn Cuties and New Ornaments!

Hello Friends and Happy Thursday!

I have a few more of my Lawn Fawn cards to show today!

These were created with the Life Is Good stamp set and matching dies from Lawn Fawn. The stitched mat is also from Lawn Fawn and the big yellow sun is from Hero Arts. I colored everything with my Copic Markers.

I want to thank you all so much for your sweet comments about my new mini ornaments, and I want to thank you for buying them too! Now I have stamp money! haha! So happy!

I have added some new full size ornaments to my store this morning, and I want to let everyone know, that while I do not do custom orders, I will accept things like " do you have anymore butterflies" or "if you had a purple house I would probably buy it".  I'm okay with that kind of thing ;) So most of these I just put on are because of statements like  the ones above, except I made up the purple house one :) 

Anyway these are FUN!! :D

If you want a closer peek you can find them at

My Joyful Moments Etsy Store

Thanks so much for stopping by! I'll be back tomorrow with some Festive Friday Fun!

New Mini Ornaments added to My Etsy Store

Hello dear friends!

I had a lot of people wanting to know if I was going to add the mini ornaments I showed in one of my last post to my store. Well, I was making them for my own little tree, but since I had so much interest I made some to go in my store.

I just added ten new minis to the store today! You can check them out at My Joyful Moments Etsy Store if you're interested :)

They each measure approximately 2 inches in diameter and they are only $6.00 each!

Here are just a few previews of some of the ones I put on:

Thanks so much for stopping by! 

I'll be back tomorrow with new cards!

CAS(E) This Sketch #79 and Other Stuff

Hello all!

Hope you all had a nice weekend.  It was cool, overcast and drizzly here, but I kind of like that kind of weather. It's better than hot by far :)

Anyway, I haven't done any challenges in a long time other than the ones for my design teams, but I kind of got the itch to do some over the weekend. I loved the sketch for CAS(E) This Sketch;

so I gave this one a try.

The flowers and leaf stamps and dies are from Papertrey Ink, the little Enjoy sentiment is from Verve, and I am sorry, but the papers are just little scraps out of my scrap drawer of unknown origin. 

I've also had a few other little piddling projects going on in the craft room lately. I've been playing with my Perler Beads a bit, and made a fun design to fit in a little frame that sits on my shadow box.

And yes, that La La Loopsy is mine! heheh!

I've also been playing with my clay. A couple of weekends ago, we took a little day trip to a town called Kimswick, where they have the largest Christmas store in Missouri! Oh my! :D Of course I had to stop, and it was lovely!! I bought an adorable little snow covered Christmas tree. It's only about two feet tall. On the way home, all I could think about was making tiny little clay ornaments for my precious little tree!

I'm so excited about them! I love making them even better than the big ones. I've always liked miniatures and tiny things though. I can't wait to see them on my tree! The only thing is that they are so small, it's taking me forever to fill up my tray to bake them!

So that's what I've been up to lately!

Thanks so much for stopping by! Hope you all have a happy week!

Hugs,

Kay :)

Butterflies and Little Houses!

Hello dear friends!

I just wanted to pop in here and let you all know that I have added a few new ornaments to my Etsy Store. 

I have lately been obsessed with butterflies and little houses :) I'm having a real hard time not keeping them all though. I keep telling myself, I can make more, but I really have a strong aversion to making the same thing twice, so when I really like one, I keep it! :D  

I have managed to let a few of them go with the thought that I do have pictures and if I really want to, I could make another one :)

I've also finally released my hold on Christmas, and moved into Spring with some new pretty pastel and summery bright colors. I'm loving it and having so much fun with these!

Here's just a few of the new ones I've added. If you want to see them all you can check out my Etsy Store here.

Okay the little house is still a bit Christmassy, but I am working on some Springy flowery ones at the moment :)

Thanks so much for stopping by!

Hugs,

Kay :)

New Ornaments in Etsy Store!

Hello my friends!

I hope everyone had a wonderful Easter and is enjoying some warmer spring weather :) We have been in the 70's for the past few days and it's been sooooo nice. The flowers are blooming everywhere!

Here is a picture of me with Mr Frito on Easter standing in front of the blooming crabapple tree. Isn't it gorgeous!! The tree not me! haha!

So I wanted to pop in and let everyone know that I just added a bunch of new ornaments to my Etsy store, some in some pretty springy colors!

Here are a few of my faves:

If you'd like to take a look at all the new ornaments you can see them all in 

My Etsy Store.

Thank you so much for stopping by!

I'll be back tomorrow with a new card and challenge for Festive Friday!

Festive Friday #29

Hello my friends!

I hope everyone has had a wonderful week!

It's time again for another challenge at Festive Friday!

I'm so sorry  that In linkz wasn't working properly last challenge. I hope that won't deter anyone from playing along with us this time around. I think we have  it all fixed now :)

Here is the gorgeous inspiration photo for this time around. Meredith picks out the most beautiful photos! I am finally giving some of my lovely WPlus9 stamps a good work out :)

Here is what I did with the inspiration:

All of the stitched panels are dies from Lil Inkers. I cut the arched window out of the white one with a die from Sizzix. The lacey border is an older stamp I have had for a long time from Recollections. I just recently rediscovered it and am loving it! Everything else is from WPlus9. 

I hope you will play along with us at Festive Friday!

You can also check out the amazing talent from the other design team members at Festive Friday!

Also, I added a few more ornaments to my Etsy Store. I have had a lot of people encouraging me to make some Springy ornaments and some for other holidays, not just Christmas, so that's what I'm doing :) I am loving using some bright and fun Spring colors and I'm looking forward to doing something cute for fall and Halloween too!

Here's what's new in the Store:

I hope you all have a safe and happy weekend!

Hugs,

Kay :)

New Ornaments in My Etsy Store

It's Friday!  Yay!

I used to not care so much about Friday until I started homeschooling, now the kids and I live for Fridays! haha! Hope you all are having a good one!

I just wanted to pop in here before the weekend and let anyone who might be interested know that I added 12 new ornaments to my Etsy store. 

Here's a little preview.

I'm having so much fun making these and I am so thrilled that people like them!! I do have to save a couple out of every batch I make to keep for myself. I think this Christmas I might do a whole tree with nothing but these! 

I can't believe I am already thinking about Christmas! haha! It'll be here before you know it though! I am having a seriously hard time believing that it's already April!

Anyway, thanks so much for stopping by my blog! 

I hope you all have a safe and wonderful weekend!

Hugs,

Kay :)
