GO GREEN on Thursday!

Good morning..

It's raining pretty hard here in NYC but I think that these days are the best days to get things done - cleaning up your scrap space, organizing things, and being creative. I was able to create another GO GREEN card using recycled material. Today, on the card I use a Dunkin Donuts Coffee Sleeve. It's what the butterfly is on and I love the way it pops off the cardboard. As you can see, Dunkin Donuts is a place that I am at often...LOL!

Thanks so much for stopping by and continue to do your part in taking care of our Earth!

GO GREEN!

GOING GREEN here in NYC!!!

Hey everybody...
I just couldn't resist. I love to plant flowers and this spring I am planting veggies...well tomatoes. I love them and I am excited to see how they turn out. If all goes well with them, then I will venture out to other veggies.

As you know, I live in NYC in an apartment, so I don't have a garden that I am sure you all may have, so, I have to make due with what I have. My terrace is pretty big. It allows me to put 6 window boxes along the railing, but I choose to have them along the floor so that when the flowers grow, they will fall over the railing. I am also growing Rosemary, Basil, & Curly Leaf Parsely and they are growing soooo well. Here are some pics of GREEN THUMB Kimba....LOL!....it's all in line with GOING GREEN!
Enjoy!

Thanks for stopping by!

This is one of my 6 Plant Boxes. I planted Marigolds, Impatients, and Petunias.>>

GO GREEN on Hump Day

Hey everyone,

It's Wednesday...only 2 more days til the start of the weekend and I need the weekend bad. I have so many projects that I need to complete and this weekend is the weekend to get them done!

In any case, I am posting another card that is a GO GREEN card. The stick along the left hand side of the card is an ice cream stick that my kids gave me. Remember, try and incorporate something that you have used in your projects. You'd be surprised at how creative you are...Good Luck! and GO GREEN!

HAPPY MEMORIAL DAY!!!

HAPPY MEMORIAL DAY!!

In light of the holiday, the MYSTERY MATERIAL MONDAY will be posted tomorrow morning. I have a break between grilling and I thought that I would post a card that I created.

One of the things that I am really trying to do is be more Take care of the EARTH/GO GREEN conscious. I have watched so many shows this past week about how each of us can do our part. I know that in my household, my children have been really getting into recycling. Old T-shirts we have used as rags to wash our car and to clean up around the house. I throw them in the washer and re-use them. Any scraps of food we have, we have been giving them all to our neighbor who is creating their own compost. I have even switched out all my light bulbs to use the ones that help save energy. So, in light of that, I have become more aware of how I can use things that I come in contact with everyday and think of a creative way to incorporate them w/in my cards. Well, I am going to post one card that I think I was successful at. The brown embossed background is a BROWN PAPER BAG. I cut off the top of the bag, ran it thru my CuttleBug, used some distress ink to make the texture of the embossed image pop and VOILA!!!

Let me know what you think. Maybe this can be away for you to challenge yourself in thinking about how you can "recycle"and incorporate them in your cards and projects. I would love to hear and see them.

Thanks so much for stopping by and continue to enjoy this Memorial Day w/family & friends!

MYSTERY MATERIAL MONDAY Challenge WINNER

Good morning all-

This has been a great morning! My son Jackson is a senior in elementary school. He is in the 5th grade and will be graduating this June 5th. Today, he had his Senior Trip. The kids were picked up at the school in an Escallade Limousine. They were then taken to the Pier in Manhattan for a cruise around New York. All the kids looked great - all dressed up! I will post pics so that you can see. My baby boy is no longer a baby....Time really goes by so fast..LOL!!!

In any case....I know that you are anxiously awaiting who the winner is and what the MYSTERY MATERIAL was that I used. Drum Roll Please..............................

The MATERIAL MATERIAL was the CORRUGATED CARDBOARD above the Ribbon. The MATERIAL was the A COFFEE SLEEVE FROM DUNKIN DONUTS...see the pic!

Now....some of you guess correctly that it was the corrugated cardboard but you did not state what the material was. Now, I know since last week we had no winner, I did not want to go this week w/no winner either.....so what I did was enter EVERYONE's NAME in the drawing to win!!!! I think that was a FAIR solution...don't you? It's Memorial Day weekend and what a great way to start it off with winning something...right? Okay....so now....what we have all been waiting for. Without further ado........the WINNER of the Tim Holtz Distress Ink Pad and Tool is............

CRYSTALS CARDS!!!! Congratulations Crystal! Please email me at kimba7669@yahoo.com and put in the subject line BLOG WINNER OF TIM HOLTZ's GOODIES and send me your address so that I can get this out to you.

Thanks everyone for participating in the challenge and thanks.....as always...for stopping by!
