Hello, I am popping in to share a card I made for the Moxie Fab Beautiful Borders  Challenge.  I used my favorite notebook edge border punch and my new Damask decorative paper from PTI that I recently bought. What do you think? Sorry for such a quick post but I have a few things to take care of before our shows start tonight. The hubby and I are really into the new show NY INK. It is a reality show about these tattoo artist that set up a shop in Soho. It follows the lives of the various tattoo artist and their clients. It is amazing to see the various people that come in and out of the shop and the stories behind the tattoos that they create. It is such an art form. Thanks for stopping by, Brandi

Hello... Hope you are having a fabulous week. I am counting down the days until our Fourth of July holiday weekend. The hubby has Saturday off this week, so we will be able to spend a three day weekend together. It has been awhile since that has happened. We have so much on our to-do list, so hopefully lots will be checked off soon. LOL! I wanted to pop in to share a card I made for the latest challenge at the Embellish blog. The theme this week is a rainbow color challenge. Rainbows can pop up unexpectedly in life. I think that is what makes them so amazing, the fact that they are rare. I once saw a double rainbow last year and tried to take a photograph of it but could not get the second rainbow to appear in the photo. It was the weirdest thing. Thanks for stopping by for a visit, Brandi

Hello, Hope your having a great week. It decided to rain today, which can be wonderful weather to hide away in the craft room and get crafty. I decided to take the time to make a card for the latest Tuesday Trigger  Challenge at the Moxie Fab World. The theme this week consist of these beautiful colors. I thought they would be perfect for a baby boy card. So this is what I came up with. Hope you find sometime today to get inky! Thanks for stopping by, Brandi

Hey y'all, I am back after enjoying another fabulous weekend of summer. The hubby and I went to see the Green Lantern. It was not that good honestly. I usually love the comic book movies but not this one. Oh well, they can't all be winners. On Saturday we went over to a friends house for a backyard bbq party. What is more fun than a group of friends playing boccie ball, grilling, drinking a few coronas (with 2 limes please) and hanging out by a fire pit under the stars? Sounds like a perfect summer day. How did you celebrate the weekend? I wanted to pop in quickly to share a card I made for the latest CAS-ual Friday Challenge #7. The theme this week is Color Blocking. Thanks for stopping by for a visit. Brandi

Neither! LOL! I'm just really enjoying the summer and finding it hard to keep myself in my craft cave (as  Jen )  would call it. Do any of you feel the same way? It amazes me how many of you are on DT and have all of these deadlines. I wonder how you do it. I find it so hard to be creative if I'm not feeling it, you know? Anywho, I have had alot going on in the past two weeks. If I sound a slight more mature, well that's because I turned 31 this week. Or as I tell everyone else, I am 30 and holding. LOL! I am here to share a card I made for the latest Wee Memories Challenge  #59 , where anything goes and you are supposed to free your creativity. Simple enough, I say! I decided to use this as an opportunity to make a card for my pops! He is so wonderful. I am very blessed to have such a fabulous Dad. Just recently we started going on father/daughter trips. Since he lives in Arkansas and I in NY, we find a destination to meet. We spend a few days shopping, seeing the si
