Delightful Daisies Week 2

Good Friday Morning Everyone!

No card for me this morning. Although I do have some free time this morning, so don't be surprised if you see one later today or tomorrow! For now, however I am here to share this week's Delightful Daisies awards.
I ended up having to change one of the requirements for being eligible for this award. I decided that the only thing you have to do is to make at least one comment on any one of my posts through the week. You don't have to become a follower. I know that I make a lot of comments on various posts throughout the day and while there are great blogs out there, I don't necessarily feel the need to become a follower of each one. Therefore, I do not feel as though it is fair to make the same requirement of other people for my blog.
So, without further ado. Here are this week's fabulous creations. Be sure to stop by and leave them some love. Good luck to all the entries for the random drawing at the end of the month for $15 Gift Certificate to Two Peas. Also, don't forget to grab your "Delightful Daisies" picture from the sidebar to display on your blog.

Just Saying Hello!

Hi Everyone!

I know I said I wasn't posting anymore this week; but the hubby had some errands to run this morning, so I decided to take advantage of the extra time I had this morning and put together a quick card.
Don't forget tomorrow is the day I choose this week's Delightful Daisy awards. If you are unfamiliar with this make sure and read about it here so that you can participate and be eligible for a $15 gift certificate to Two Peas.
Since I don't have a whole lot of time, I am just going to list the challenges I am entering this card into and use them to describe my card.

1. ABC Challenge: N is for Neutrals: I chose black, brown and white. I figure you can't get more neutral than those colors.

2. Tuesday Morning Sketch: Easy as Pie sketch, and I loved it!

3. Tuesday Throwdown: Buttons. You know me and buttons! Never pass up a challenge that requires buttons!

4. Crafty Creations: 3 Little Words. My sentiment is from Hero Arts

5. Fab n Funky: Texture. I used my cuttlebug to emboss the white piece (which is a bit hard to see in the picture) and the brown piece as well.

So, there you have it. Simple and easy; but I hope you like it! Have a fabulous day and don't forget to leave a comment so I can come and visit you to see if you are a "Delightful Daisy" this week!

Butterfly Birthday

Hi Everyone!

Lots to talk about today, so pull up a chair and grab a good beverage.

First, if you haven't read about my chance to be a Delightful Daisy and win a $15 Gift Certificate to Two Peas, go read about it here.

Second, this is my last card for this week. The hubs is deploying on Sunday for Afghanistan and I am going to spend the week soaking up all the time I can with him. I will do my best though to surf around blog land and keep up with what everyone is doing. I will post Delightful Daisy awards on Friday.


Third, I want to share a blog award that was given to me by Ann Marie over at Stampin' Anne. I was so honored to receive this award. Thank you so much for thinking of me, Anne!
The rules of the Liebster Award are simple:
1.) THANK the person who bestowed it on you, with a link to their blog
2.) ACCEPT the award by posting it on your blog
3.) SHARE the bloggin' love with 3-5 fellow bloggers.

So, here are some fellow bloggers that I am proud to share this award with. I really wish I could have picked more than 5...that was really hard!

2. Broni at Splashes of Watercolor
3. Jackie at Kreate with me 2
4. Fiona at Leaves from my Notebook
5. Becky at Diamond in the Rough

Finally, I suppose we should talk about my card! LOL! This was such an easy card to do mainly because of the patterned paper which is from Cosmo Cricket's "Togetherness" pad. Now, I have to apologize for the crooked picture. I am so terrible at taking pictures! Normally I scan all my cards; but I didn't with this one because I wanted to show the butterflies along the center and I didn't want to squish them!

Here is the list of challenges I am entering this card into, which is not nearly as long as the last one. Wow! Wasn't that insane?!

1. 365 Cards: Use at least 3 1" circles on your card

2. Craft Your Passion: Anything Goes

3. Cupcake Craft Challenges: Use Red

4. Outlawz Monday Birthday Challenge: Make a birthday card and use butterflies

5. Ginger Loft: Red

6. Techno Monday Lunch Sketches: Sketch

Valentine's Day Love

Hi Everyone!

I hope you all had fabulous weekend. Mine was lots of fun just spending time with the family. We even had a snow day in San Antonio on Friday. Now, that's something I never thought would happen! The best part was that my hubby got into a shopping mood, so we all went shopping and got the kids new clothes! Yay! I always feel better when they have everything they need. I don't know, must be a mom thing!
So, I have a very simple card to share today. When I was looking through the challenge list to see which ones it would fit, I discovered that it went with A LOT of them. Obviously, Valentine's Day cards are hot topics in challenges at the moment! This card was fun to put together, I had not done the foiled embossing technique for a while and I liked the way it turned out.
