MFT WSC56 ~ Celebrate!

2012-01-25T10:51:00.004-06:00

Hi all! I hope everyone is doing well in dealing with the crazy weather we've had all over! I know some storms rolled through here around 5am and woke me up! Moving on... here's my card for the latest MFT WSC. I used little miss Cause for Celebration, which, because of the sentiments, you may feel is geared more towards New Years. Well, obviously she's ready for ANY type of party with that pretty dress and noise maker! I colored her to match the dp, which she does by the way, despite what this pic may show... you know how that goes! The sentiment is from the First Class Friends set.

The inside sentiment is from the Sweet Greetings PI set.

Thanks for swinging by!

Hugs,

Hi all and happy Monday! Here's my card for this week's Totally Stampalicious challenge - For the Men. Who doesn't love Gus?!?! The old man cracks me up! I paper pieced his boat and colored everything else with copics. I took a little paper clip and bent it so it was more like a fishing hook then attached the sentiment! Ha! My only other embellishments are a strip of twill and a zig zag dienamic border.

The inside:

***Don't forget to check out my blog candy post HERE!!! I'll be selecting a winner on Sunday***

Hi all! I wanted to share this card which I made for Karen G's Sweet Sunday Sketch. This is my first time inking up the Buckets of Love set from There She Goes. With Valentine's day around the corner, I decided to use the hearts. I had to add the extra strip for my sentiment. I used two dienamics, some brads and my piercer to add the finishing details.

Thanks for stopping by!!!

Hi and welcome to another MFT sketch challenge! I had this Crazy for Daisies PI inked up and she was staring me down, so I figured I better use her! She was colored with copics and is up on pop dots. The smaller kraft layer was cut out using the First Class Friend dienamic. I also used one of the mini rolled roses, one of the mini tab foursome and the postage border dienamics (on the inside). I decided to continue the rounded corner theme from the First Class Friend dienamic on the bottom corners of the card front and on the inside, as well.

I finished it off with some bling on the mini rose, some taffeta ribbon and two different embossing folders. Thanks for stopping by!

Hi and happy almost afternoon! I apologize for the late post! My husband's Giants won last night and we celebrated with friends. So here's my card for this week's Totally Stampalicious challenge - Sweethearts! I used one of the newly released sets, Monkey Love. These monkeys are TOO CUTE!!! He was colored with copics then cut out and popped up on pop dots.

I'm so happy I got to use some of the heart shaped bling that I got oh, probably over a year ago. I finished it with a felt heart, a glittered "u" and some sparkly ribbon.

Thanks for stopping by!

Hi! Everyone ready for the weekend? I know I am! Here's a card I made for the Flourishes Blog challenge for their new release. The paper pieced bassinet is from their Baby Love set. I used a few different dienamics ~ file tab, dizzy border and fringed perennial. I've had this pretty shiny ribbon for years and am happy to finally use some of it! This card measures 3 5/8 x 6. I know, a little odd but I like it!

A peek at the inside. The heart was cut out using a dienamic from the homespun birdhouse die set. The sentiment is from the Flourishes set called Friendly Reminders. A row of pink bling finishes off the inside.

Hi! Here's a card I made for the first MFT wednesday sketch club challenge of the year! I used this week's Color Throw Down challenge which was black, grey and red. The only stamping on this card is the sentiment on the front and the "XO" on the inside.

The heart is cut out of MFT felt using dienamics. I used a couple of other dienamics on here and finished everything off with big brads and a button with twine.

And Happy New Year!!! Hope everyone had fun ringing in the new year! Here's a long 9 1/4" x 4" card I made for the latest MFT guest designer challenge which is to paper piece! My birthday was yesterday (yes, on New Years' and yes, my mother calls me her hangover and no, we're not going to discuss what age I am now! ha!) so why not make a birthday card?! The PIs I used are Hello Cupcake, Crazy for Daisies (inside) and Aim High. The sentiment and little frog are from the Feeling Froggy PI set. I used the Flat Bottom Clouds dienamics to cut out the blue dp then filled the cut outs with white corrugated flat bottom clouds. The Branches with leaves dienamic was perfect to have the Mini Pennant "Happy Birthday" banners hanging from, which is stamped using the Banner day alpha.

Now for some detail shots... here you can see that I stamped the cherry onto textured cardstock and added glossy accents to make it shine. I also hand cut every. single. sprinkle. on that cupcake! The frosting was stamped onto a "chocolate" textured cardstock then layered on the polka dot dp cupcake "liner".

Her shoes were also stamped on and cut out of textured cardstock. The "grass" was cut out using the medium simply scallops dienamic.

This sweet girl has two different dp's used on her dress and look! Her socks match the top half of her dress, then I pieced her white shoes on top of those and added more glossy accents to them so it looks like she's wearing some darling patent leather shoes. Also, you can see that sweet little frog has also been paper pieced and has glossy accents on him because after all, frogs are shiny, right?!

And now on the inside I used the First Class Friend dienamic for the sentiment which is accented by a line of silver pearls.

Little Miss Crazy for Daisies has her dress paper pieced using two different dp's, as well. Her shoes were also cut out using textured cardstock.

Silver brads on the front and faux stitching inside and out finish everything off. Thanks a ton for stopping by! Here's to a CRAFTY and EXCITING new year!!!

Hugs,

You Bring Me Joy

2011-12-31T14:43:00.002-06:00

Hi all! Here's a card I made for a couple of challenges on SCS. I used MFT's Precious Little Lamb - Where Flowers Bloom. I added some texture to his fur with a Le Plume white gel pen. The rest of him was colored with copics.

The sentiment was cut out with one of the mini tab dienamics. Some silver brads, a white corrugated heart (cut out using another dienamic) and a button with some twine finish off this card.

The sentiment is fitting as my last card of 2011 because all of you who stop by my blog, whether you leave comments or not, certainly do bring me joy! I wish you all MUCH JOY in the new year!!! Be safe!

Hugs,

CAS Christmas cards

2011-12-22T21:23:00.005-06:00

Ok, I'm pretty positive these are the last Christmas cards I'll be posting for the year... I just couldn't resist inking up and coloring these CUTIES!!! I couldn't resist getting this HoHoHo set from There She Goes. The sketch is from the Clean and Simple challenge from SCS. These were all colored with copics, added a button and twine, and some glittery "snow". The "Merry Christmas" and "Merry & Bright" are from MFT.

As always, thanks for stopping by! I don't know about y'all, but I am definitely ready for Christmas!!!! :D

Hugs,

Sick of Christmas cards yet?!

2011-12-20T19:31:00.004-06:00

I sure hope not! LOL! Here's one I made using one of the sweet new PI's from MFT. The sketch is their WSC50. I gave her a glam look by making the top part of her dress all glittery and the coloring the bottom part with copics so it looks satiny. She's cut out and on pop dots.

I used twill for the middle part of the sketch. The extra holly leaves were cut out using the Christmas Ornaments dienamics. Here's a peek at the inside:

Thanks for stopping by!!

2011-12-19T08:47:00.003-06:00

Hi all! This week's challenge on the Totally Stampalicious blog is to add some sparkle or bling to your project! I added bling to a lot of the corners and along the sides of the layer under the main one. I also used a gold spica pen to color in her boots - SO shimmery!

Lots of sponging on here, too! Thanks for taking a peek! And don't forget, Totally Stampalicious has an AWESOME SPECIAL going on now, so don't miss out!!!

Hugs,

TS Monday - Eat, drink and be Merry!

2011-12-12T05:00:00.000-06:00

Hi and Happy Monday! Can you believe how close we are to Christmas?! Wow, I know I can't! Here's my card for this week's Totally Stampalicious challenge which is to have some type of food and/or drink on your card. Uh, can't go wrong with a big ol' cup of cocoa! Love this sweet image called Poppi Cocoa. He's colored with copics and is up on pop dots. My sweet 8 y.o. loved how I colored the cup and wanted me to color one for him like that because it looks like a "real shiny cup". So sweet!

I kept the layout simple and just added some small scallop dienamic borders at the top and bottom. Some satin ribbon with a MS snowflake punch, part of the fringed perennial dienamic and a pearl add the finishing touches. The whole main layer is also up on pop dots. Here's a peek of the inside where I've stamped one of the sentiments from this set, more dp and another small scallop border.Now head on over and check out the rest of the dt's creations! And don't forget about the fabulous special going on over at TS! It's a great time to do a little Christmas shopping for your favorite stamper - YOURSELF! *wink*

Hugs,

Snow Much Love in blue

2011-12-11T19:33:00.002-06:00

Hi ya! Here's a card I made for the latest Mojo sketch and for Sue's VSN challenge on SCS, which is to make a Christmas card using blues. I just love this newly released Frosty stamp by MFT! He's colored with copics and is up on pop dot. The sentiment, also from that set, was cut out using a Verve oval die. I added a MS punched snowflake and brad. A little piercing around the popped up main layer and done!

Thanks for stopping by! See you in the morning with a new Totally Stampalicious blog challenge!

MFT WSC49 - Feel Better

2011-12-07T11:00:00.001-06:00

Hi! Everyone recoup from the release party and shopping?! Ha! Well, here's my last hoorah as guest dt... I had this sweet Fred Bear Gives Comfort colored and ready to go for a few days now and decided to save him for the sketch. Is he not the sweetest?! He's colored with copics. I used like a dotted technique to give his fur some depth and dimension. I used the circle from the Fishtail Banner dienamic behind the big, fancy brads. The sentiment was cut out with the newly release Mix & Match Banner dienamic. You can only see a little of it, but I also used the Scallop Ribbon border dienamic.

A peek at the inside... Here I've used the crown border and just stamped Fred's sweet face peeking around the corner.

Thanks for stopping by! Off to the mall - wish me luck!

Hugs,

Cup of Tea?

2011-12-06T21:00:00.001-06:00

Well, hello again and welcome to the MFT Product Tour! I'm featuring the Always Time for Tea dienamics and stamp set. You have GOT to get your hands on this set and the matching dienamics! It is loaded with so many wonderful sentiments in a delicious font, plus fun flourishes and several stamps to let you decorate your tea pot and cup however you wish! FUN!!! First, this card measures 9 1/4" x 4", so it fits a standard business sized envelope. I wanted a lot of space to work with and haven't made a long card in forever, so I thought this would do the trick! I may have gone overboard on the girly-ness of this one! Don't all those rows of scallops remind you of the little girl under pants with the ruffles on the bottom?? Hehe! I did a lot of faux stitching with my rose red marker {a plus of "faux" stitching - you can pick any color 'thread' you want, whenever you want!}. There's a strip of the gingham dp that I cut out with the small scallop dienamic (told you I was obsessed!) and attached it to the bottom of the sentiment. And yep, I have another strip of it on the left side but that piece was cut out with the postage stamp edge dienamic and has a strip of pink small scallops under it. The tea pot was added to the Vintage Cameo frame dienamic using pop dots. Other finishing touches are antique butons, honeydew twine and some fancy flourishes cut out of sour apple MFT felt.

For the inside I added a matching cup, saucer and spoon. Notice the steam coming up from the hot tea? *love* And notice the flourishes in the opposite corner? *double love*
Detail shot...
Another detail shot...
And now... the time has come... Ok, sorry, I was about to get all "Elvis" on ya! Ha! But seriously, I'm sad to see my guest dt gig come to an end. It's always SO MUCH FUN!!! Thanks beaucoup and bunches for ALL of your sweet and encouraging comments!!! *sniff* Before I get all sappy on ya, head on over to MFT to get your hands on all the new goodies!!! Happy Shopping and until next time... ;)

Hugs,

I decided to add to my Christmas decorations and made a super cute little banner using the Mix & Match Banner dienamics and the By the Letters dienamics. This didn't take long at all! I chose two of the banner shapes and just alternated them. I punched little holes in each corner and threaded some silver cord (because I have like a gazillion yards of it!) through it. I also added little accents to some of the pieces with the Christmas Ornaments dienamics because MFT is cool like that and makes everything work together! ;) You can see them better on the close up pics. Oh, and I added a couple of pieces from the Fringed Perennial dienamics, too! How easy would it be to make one for every occasion?!!! You can add a banner to a gift bag to dress it up, add it to a present, makes one for your child's teacher to hang in her classroom - the possibilities are endless, I tell ya!!!

*** This is my 2nd post of the day ~ the MFT Teaser post is below***

Well, hello again! I'm back for the Totally Stamp

alicious blog challenge which is to use snow on your project. I had to ink up these cuties, Deacon and Ava HoHo. The "HOHO" is paper pieced and everything else was colored with copics. I added some liquid applique to the little snowflakes around them. I also used a Martha Stewart snowflake to the center of my loopy bloom dienamic. The sentiment is from the Deacon Elf set.

I loved the December SFYTT sketch, so had to try it out! Thanks for taking a peek and don't forget the AWESOME sale going on at Totally Stampalicious!!!

MFT Teaser - day 6

2011-12-04T22:44:00.007-06:00

Hi all! Guess what today is?!?! Yep, it's Pure Innocence Teaser Day!!! Wahoooo! I can not WAIT to show you my cards, but there's some important info you might need to know:

Here are the details about the upcoming release on December 6 at 10 PM EST:

First up is the Heart Warmer PI. I just adore this little guy! Now, as cute as he is, doesn't mean he can't be up to "snow" good! HA! Don't ya just love that sentiment?! He does come with one little pile of snowballs, but of course, I had to make him a whole mound if he was going to be up to no good, er, snow, good. I broke up the sentiment and cut it out with the mini pennant dienamics whose exact name escapes me. He's up on pop dots and was paper pieced, obviously. The sketch is from Karen G's SSSC146. I also used the small scallop border die (slightly obsessed!) and the dizzy doily duo dienamics.

My second card features the Cause for Celebration PI. I had to use her because I'm a New Year's baby! She's colored with copics. For her dress, I was going for that fancy satiny look. The sketch is an older from from Deconstructed Jen's blog. I wanted the crown border dienamic to peek up over the top, so the actual card base was cut a little shorter so it's still a standard A2 card size. And because she's out celebrating at night, I thought the new Skyline border dienamic was fitting!

And a close up of the cutie!!!

Thanks for stopping by!

Hugs,

It's A la Mode day and I have the new Ski Bunny for you! Goodness, how sweet is she?! I love this red and bright pink color combo with pops of white. I paper pieced part of her hat and jacket, her pants and who wouldn't love a set of plaid skis?!?! lol! The rest of her and the background were colored with copics. I cut her out using the Clearly Sentiment dienamic (perfect size for these slim ladies!) and popped it up on pop dots. I used a craft knife to cut along the bottom part of the skis and her boots so it looks like she's standing in snow, which I made using the small scallop border dienamics (just got it in the mail yesterday, and oh my word, i love it already!). I pulled a Jody and cut up the sentiment so I could stamp each word separately on one of the Mix & Match Banner dienamics. I added lots of twine, faux stitching ('cause my sewing machine died, sniff!) and also cut out some Fringed Perennial flowers which all have button centers. The layout is mine... just knew I wanted to use a circle and everything else fell into place. The circles are layered on the largest of the dizzy doily duo dienamics.

Here's a close up of the large Fringed Perennial dienamic and the "snow" around her boot and skis. I used a glue pen around the entire main image and also on the "snow mounds" (which is the small scallop border dienamic cut out twice) to add some glitter.

Thanks so much for stopping by and enjoy the rest of your weekend!

Hugs,

Today we're featuring the All-Star dienamics and stamp set and the Always Time for Tea dienamics and stamp set! I went with the All-Star dienamics and stamp set because, well, I have boys and am usually in need of boy cards! I about flipped when I saw this set and matching dienamics!!! Sooo right up my alley! Here's a pic of the set with the dienamics:

And now for my trio of 4 x 4 cards I made using it:

Close up of the baseball card:

And the football card:

And the basketball card:

I went with the same layout and used a few elements on all three such as some corrugated paper, brads and stars. I used the new Mix and Match Banners dienamics and the new By the Letters dienamics! These are SOOO versatile, I know I'll be using them tons!!! The word "Star" was stamped out using the Banner Day Alphabet.

As always, thanks for stopping by and have a FABULOUS weekend!

Today I'm featuring this mont's Triple Scoop Set, Pearls of Wisdom. It's loaded with such wonderful sentiments! The dp is from the Simple Stories Baby Steps 6x6 paper pad. Yep, it's baby themed but I loved the soft color palette for this card. I stamped one sentiment onto the dp then cut it out using the Decorative Doily Oval dienamic. I left most of the fancy little cut out pieces in to kind of give it a different look, then ran some hemp through the edges. Again, I used a few pieces from the new Fringed Perennial dienamic for the three circular embellies. There are copic colored pearls in the centers. I braided some MFT honeydew twine (I don't have girls, so I have to do girly things like braiding whenever I can, hehe!)and added it to the embossed sahara panel which is edged with the medium scallop dienamics. For the inside, I used the negative of the medium scallop dienamic, stamped another awesome sentiment from the Pearls of Wisdom set and added more chocolate (colored with copics) pearls. And if you're wondering, this card measure 5 x 5.

I know we still have a few more days of teasers to go, but I wanted to say how sincerely grateful I am for each and every comment!!! Reading them just makes me SO happy!

Enjoy the rest of the teasers from the utterly amazing MFT team!

Hugs,

Today I've decided to use the Inspired by Flowers set #4. Yum, Yum, YUMMY! There are three different flowers and four different sentiments in this set. I opted to not color in the mum and stamped one of the sentiments over it instead. There's a tiny bling in the flower center, can you see it? I used one flower from the new dienamic, Fringed Perennial, for my ribbon/button/thread/bling embellie on the lower left corner and added extra bling to the opposite corner. Some piercing on front and the postage stamp border dienamic and more piercing inside top it all off.

Thanks for stopping by! I KNOW you're enjoying the teasers and what's awesome is we're only on day 2, WAHOOOO!!!! Lots more super-cool-all-star-tea-ific stuff to show you! *wink*

*** If you're here for the MFT Teaser Day 1 post, it's below!

Hi, twice in one day! First, how about that new Who's That Girl?/Who's That Guy? set MFT is sneak peeking today?!?! UGH, I LOVE it!!!! I guess I was in a Who's That Girl mood because I thought this one, Who's That Girl Gets Cozy with Cocoa was perfect for this week's WSC48! It took a little time, not much, but was well worth paper piecing her sweater AND her gloves and scarf! Oh, and the background around her! Almost forgot! I love how it turned out, so yes, well worth the time, if you ask me! The cup o' cocoa was colored with copics. The flower was made using the loopy bloom dienamic. After I ran it through my 'Bug, I cut it in half, rolled it up and got this look. LOVE how versatile it is! The sentiment is also from that same set.

I also used the You Move Me dienamic, added some baja ribbon, piercing and silver pearls to finish her up!

Thanks for stopping by and don't forget, there are more peeks tomorrow!

Hugs,

It's time for MFT Teasers!!!

2011-11-29T23:00:00.004-06:00

First up this month is May I Have This Dance? which is the newest Who's That Guy? Who's That Girl? set! I just love this sweet couple and all of the awesome sentiments that come with it!!! Perfect for no-brainer Valentine's and anniversary cards, among other occasions. His jacket and her dress were paper pieced and I colored the rest with copics, but I did go over his shirt with a white gel pen. I've paired them with the new Skyline Border dienamic for a cool "night out on the town" feel. I added glittered dp behind it so you can see "lights" through the cut out windows. And you see her "diamond" bracelet? It's covering a boo-boo, shhhh... ;)

TS Monday - non-traditional Christmas

2011-11-28T00:00:00.000-06:00

Hi all! I had a wonderful Thanksgiving and can hear the gym calling my name! LOL! Hope everyone else had a fab weekend and is getting in the Christmas spirit! Speaking of Christmas, here's a card I made for this week's TS Monday blog challenge - to make a Christmas card using NON-traditional Christmas colors. I decided to break out Going to Town Gus. Hehe, he cracks me up! The sketch is from the Sweet Stop sketches #136. I paper pieced his hat and suit and added liquid applique. Everything else was colored with copics.

Kept everything else simple. Well, I've got LOTS 'O stampin to do... ;)

Hugs,

Happy Thanksgiving and a Totally Stampalicious special!

2011-11-24T20:12:00.002-06:00

Hi all! At this time of the evening, I hope everyone is relaxing on the couch letting all that yummy turkey and all the fixins digest while enjoying some quality time with family and friends.... because that's exactly what I'm doing!

I wanted to let you in a deal that starts at MIDNIGHT EST and will last 24 hours - ALL stamps over at Totally Stampalicious will be 25% off!!! Just type in BLACKFRIDAY25 at checkout - that works out to $6.71 a set! WOW!!!

2011-11-23T11:05:00.003-06:00

Holy Hannah! Don't you LOVE when your computer doesn't cooperate!?!?! Anywhoo.... here's my card for this week's WSC. Had to use this sweet girl since Thanksgiving is tomorrow. Lots of paper piecing. I used the Tag You're It dienamic to cut out the cork.

Thanks for taking a peek and stop by the MFT Blog to see all the gorgeousness!

Hugs,

Drink and Be Merry

2011-11-23T09:44:00.003-06:00

Hi all! Ready to gobble up some yummy food tomorrow?! I know I AM!

This is late, but here it is anyway... I made this for this week's TS Monday blog challenge which was to use two different sets together. I used Morning Margaret, which is not a Christmas set, with a sentiment from the newly released Going to Town Gus. Who knows what is in Margaret's mug, but hopefully it helps her get into the Christmas spirit! HA! With that expression on her face, I just had to add some gray roots showing through in her hair (incase you're wondering why I colored her hair that way), hehe! The sketch is from the SSSC144, I just turned the ribbon.

Thanks for stopping by! I'll be back later with another post! I know, right?!?!

Hugs,

MFT sketch time!

2011-11-16T11:00:00.001-06:00

Hi and happy Wednesday! Time for another MFT WSC! I used the Christmas ornaments die and stamp set. The sentiment is from the latest Triple Scoop set. LOVE the fonts in that set! I embossed several different snowflakes onto the dp. I also embossed the design on the ornament and the word "Cheer" onto the little tag. HOW stinkin' cute is that tag?!?!!! Seriously! I distressed and curled some edges. That border strip is the negative, I guess you could say, from the new Crown border dienamic. Pretty cool looking, if you ask me!

The ornament topper was made using silver liquid pearls. I put a blob of it on paper, let it dry, then cut it out with the dienamic.

Thanks for stopping by! Check out all the fabulous DT cards on the MFT BLOG!

TS Monday - 3D projects

2011-11-14T00:00:00.000-06:00

Hiiiii! How's everyone?! By the time you're reading this, hopefully I'm well on my way to recouping from our middle son's baseball tournament! Getting up at 5:45 am for a baseball game on a Sunday just isn't right... {we had to get up that early to allow him time to get ready, eat and get to the field 45 min. before game time... yea, good times} On to my project...

The Totally Stampalicious challenge this week is a 3D project. I HAD to make this Christmas Shopping List Holder after I saw THIS POST by the mega talented, Jessie Rone. So fun and sooo easy! Before you ask, don't you love my wonky stitching?! Yep, totally on purpose... again! The straight stitching on the bottom layer is faux {let's be real, folks...} I decided to use the newly released Margaret December because she kind of looks how I'm going to feel after all the Christmas shopping I need to do, ha! She's colored with copics and has accents of silver gel pen. I popped her up on a nestie and added some bling. The sentiment is included with her set. Did I mention we have a TOTALLY awesome sale going on that involves FREE STAMPS?!?!? Read all about it HERE...

On the inside left is more dp and a pocket to hold your receipts. On the right is a notepad for all those naughty and nice lists. :)

Thanks for taking a peek and be sure to check out what the rest of the crew has for you! {links are on the right--->}

MFTWSC45 - Happy Holidays

2011-11-09T11:00:00.001-06:00

Hi! Here's the card I made for this week's MFT weekly sketch challenge. One more Christmas card done - wahoo! I've had this sweet PI Stocking Girl on my desk and her pj's were begging to be paper pieced! The rest of her was colored with copics and I popped her up on dimensionals. The white part of the stocking was colored in with liquid pearls. I used the medium scallop dienamics and the tag from the Tag, You're It set.

And a pic of the inside, sweet and simple:

Some satin ribbon, metal bling and MFT twine finish it up. Now, you MUST play in these weekly sketch challenges because there are PRIZES! Swing by the MFT Blog to see what crazy cool stuff the dt has made!

As always, I truly appreciate you stopping by and any comments you leave!

Hugs,

TS Monday - Anything goes!

2011-11-07T07:11:00.003-06:00

Hi and Happy Monday (let's pretend, ok?!)! This week's challenge on the Totally Stampalicious Blog is Anything Goes! I decided to ink up Deacon Elf. He could NOT be cuter!!!! I originally meant to use some newer dp but I had a pack of some Basic Grey oldies but goodies sitting around and I realized they matched him better. Probably better than this photo shows. ;) He's up on pop dots and was colored with copics. I used a gold spica pen to color in parts of the gifts. Lots of layering and a little bling in the border dienamic finish it up.

Yay for another Christmas card done! Thanks for stopping by and do NOT forget to take a peek at what the rest of the dt has for you - some yummy eye candy, fo' sho'!!!! Just click HERE...

Have a great week!

Hugs,

Trio of Christmas cards

2011-11-05T16:19:00.006-05:00

Hi all! I wanted to share this little set of 4x4 Christmas cards I made using new stamps from the latest Totally Stampalicious! release. Can you say ADORABLE?! I used the same layout for all of them, used different border dienamics and highlighted the with some bling. All images were colored with copics. I also added some pearl Smooch to the white parts of all the hats for extra shimmer.

And close ups of each:

Thanks for stopping by!

Hugs,

Craft room wall art and AWESOME NEWS!

2011-11-04T13:20:00.005-05:00

Hi all! TGIF, right?! Not that I won't have a busy weekend - one of my younguns' has a baseball tournament. Good times...

I wanted to share the project I made for the most recent MFT guest designer challenge! I'm SO proud of it especially because I WON!!!!!!! Yeah, baby! The challenge was to Bling It On. I started this piece on Friday and didn't finish until Monday. I just kept having to walk away and think about it... it needed to be just right. Not gawdy or tacky. I wanted it to be classy enough that any crafter out there would be happy to have it hanging in their craft space. The sentiment is from their You Move Me set {adore it!}. I broke it up and cut it out using the dienamic that comes with the set. The flowers were made using their new loopy bloom die {fun!} in colors that matched the dp. I added bling to several of the petals and also sprayed them with gold glimmer mist. The leafy flourishes were cut out of matching dp and I added some bling to parts of them, as well. I used the open bracket border and the postage border dienamics under the flower dp (which is up on dimensionals) and added LOTS 'O BLING to them. More bling here and there and some glitttery velvet ribbon finish it off.

Detail shot:

And another:

And yes, if you saw this on Splitcoast, these pics are different. I just broke out my OLD (I'm talking over 6 yrs old!) point and shoot camera instead of using my dslr. These pics came out clearer, I think, which is better for posting here and on SCS.

Thanks for taking a peek. I have one more card to finish up for a set I made for the latest TS Monday challenge, which I am obviously super late for! So stay tuned...

Hugs,

TS Monday - Happy Halloween and a SPECIAL!

2011-10-31T00:15:00.005-05:00

Hi all! Our challenge this week is Halloween! So before you head out with the kiddos to get some candy, ink up those Halloween stamps one more time. You can make a card for your Halloween party hostess or get ahead for next year! Halloween cards can be so fun especially when you have a fun gal like Witch Brawd from Totally Stampalicious! I just love this sentiment that goes with her! And let me make something very clear... I am not a seamstress. Not even when it comes to cards! Goodness, do you see that wonky stitching?! I meant to do that {that's my story and I'm sticking to it!}!!!

She's colored with copics and is up on pop dots. Her hat and that greenish dp (from Authentique, I believe, or is it Echo Park?) match very well IRL. I anchored the green and orange with a bit of black and kraft. The sentiment is up on pop dots, as well, and I added two big brads to one side.

And speaking of treats...

Let Us 'Treat' You Right!
We have a brand new promotion designed to reward you for your AWESOME taste in stamps!

2011-10-18T11:45:00.003-05:00

Hi! How's this week treating you? I'm really enjoying the fall-ish weather, though today it's a little too windy for me, but at least it's not 100 degrees out!

Here's a card I made for MFT's weekly sketch challenge. The sentiment is from their latest triple scoop set. I used several of their dienamics. Not sure if you can tell, but the green postage frame is up on dimensionals. It really adds so much! I distressed the floral layer and did some faux stitching on there, as well. The inside was finished with more dp and a leftover strip of one of the dienamics.

Thanks for stopping by!

Hugs,

TS Monday - a color challenge!

2011-10-17T13:37:00.001-05:00

Hi all! This week's Totally Stampalicious! challenge is to use BLACK, ORANGE AND PURPLE. They may be more suited for Halloween cards, but I decided to go with Morning Margaret. Love the sentiment! Pretty suited for a Monday, right?!?! HA! She's colored with copics and is up on pop dots. The sketch is this weeks' MFT WSC. I added faux stitching on the polka dot panel, the purple scallop and right above the sentiment. Lots o' bling finish it up!

Have a fab week and be sure to check out what the rest of the DT has created for you!!! **all links are on the right-->**

Hugs,

Merry challenge

2011-10-14T10:32:00.003-05:00

Hi! Here's a card I made for one of the Flourishes blog challenges. You had to make a card using items based off your initials. So here's my AMR card:

A-angled layer

M-Merry Christmas sentiment

R-red (and ribbon)

Fortunately, a little birdie gave me some help with the "A" because I was stumped! Here's my first Christmas card of the year! To say I'm a little behind the power curve is an understatement... I had to grab this beauty of a set, Christmas Classics. LOVE it! The bells were colored with a silver gel pen. I spritzed the dizzy doily dienamic (behind the main image), the vintage flourish dienamic (tucked into the ribbon knot) and the sentiment layer with marshmallow glimmer mist. Of course, we all know how well shimmer photographs, so you can't see how cool it really looks! The angled layer is embossed. The main image and sentiment are up on pop dots.

The dp is a new Christmas pad from JilliBean Soup.

Thanks for stopping by!

Hugs,

Bright birthday boy

2011-10-12T14:08:00.003-05:00

Hello, for the third day in a row! It's funny how much stamping time you can get in when you're stuck at home because you discovered a leak in your garage! Yes, we finally got some MUCH needed rain in these parts and low and behold, we had a leak coming from the ceiling, down the inside of the wall and making a puddle in one corner of the garage. FUN. Not. But thank GOD for warranties - it's all getting fixed!

Anyway, I decided to make a bright birthday boy card using the Sweet Birthday Kids set from Totally Stampalicious! I colored him up over a week ago and found this week's sketch challenge on SCS perfect for him! I don't have enough kid birthday cards on hand, so now at least I have this one in my stash!

I love the fun rounded edges! I added some piercing, metal bling and popped this cutie up on pop dots for the finishing touches.

As always, thanks for stopping by!

Hugs,

Thankful

2011-10-11T15:48:00.002-05:00

Hi! Here's a card I made for the MFT weekly sketch challenge #40. There's nothing more inspiring than using new goodies, right?! Love this a la mode with that big ol' pumpkin! She's colored with copics and marvys and the pumpkin was paper pieced. The sentiment was cut out using the fishtail banner dienamics. I also used the new postage stamp edge dienamic and one of the dizzy doily dienamics. Faux stitching and a button with some twine finish it up.

Thanks for stopping by!

Hugs,

TS Monday - Thanksgiving!

2011-10-10T00:00:00.000-05:00

Hi! Happy Monday! Time for another Totally Stampalicious! Monday challenge. Now, it's not quite time for Thanksgiving, at least not in the U.S. but Happy Thanksgiving to all our friends in Canada! So this week's challenge is to make a thank you card. I used Desiree Lollipop ~ CUTE!!!~ and one of the sentiments from the same set. "You're so sweet" is another way to say "thank you", I think, so I went with it! The sketch is from this week's SC on SCS. She's colored with copics. I added some bling and popped some layers up on pop dots. The sentiment was cut out with a dienamic.

Lately, I've been using the leftover dp from the card front on the inside so it cuts down on my scrap pile. Can I get an Amen for less scraps?! :)

Thanks for stopping by and be sure to check out what the rest of the dt has cooked up for you!

Hugs,

TS Monday - embossing

2011-10-03T16:07:00.003-05:00

Hi! This weeks' Totally Stampalicious! challenge is to add some embossing, wet or dry, to your creation. I took the easy way and went with dry embossing on the tilted dp layer. After I embossed it, I sanded the embossed areas so it would stand out a little more. This is the sketch from last week's SC on Splitcoast. Sweet little Storybook Elizabeth worked perfectly with this sketch! The sentiment is from the Sweet Birthday Kids Bugaboo set from TS. And yes, I did that dotted background around Elizabeth again - it's so easy and such a fun look!

I apologize for the late post - drove over an hour to hit up a not so local scrapbook store and got some yummy new dp! Yay!!! Be on the look out... :)

Hugs,

Enjoy the simple things gift set

2011-10-02T18:59:00.014-05:00

***little warning: picture heavy post***

Hi all! Hope everyone's enjoying nicer weather! It's crazy how cool a high in the upper 80s feels compared to our 100+ degree norm of the summer. On to the project!

I made this sweet little gift set for the latest MFT guest designer challenge. I've had that glass jar for at least a year and it was calling my name for this challenge! Ever since I got the new fence dienamics from MFT, I've had the idea to use the leafy flourish dienamic as a vine and weave it through the fence. That's where this whole project started! On the jar itself, I've used the

following dienamics: medium scallop, leafy flourish, woodgrain fence, dizzy doily duo, You Move Me, Homespun Birdhouse, and mini rolled roses. On the bag, I used these dienamics: leafy flourish, Tag You're It, dizzy doily duo, woodgrain fence and You Move Me (the little butterfly). The card has the following dienamics: woodgrain fence, leafy flourish, dizzy doily duo, You Move Me and the file tab for the sentiment, which I shortened using Joanne's helpful hint! Between the three items, I used the following stamp sets: Tag You're It, Aim High PI, Homespun Birdhouse and Feeling Froggy PI. The finishing touches are twine, lace and lots o' bling! Oh! And the "post" that the birdhouse is on was stamped onto cork then cut out.

If you made it all the way to the end of my post - thanks! Hope you enjoyed the extra detail pics! I'm happy to say that I have one teacher's gift DONE! And yes, those are peanut M&M's in the jar - don't worry, I won't be giving her those! She'll get a fresh batch, ha!

Hugs,

Halloween Fairy Ava

2011-09-26T07:03:00.002-05:00

Hi and welcome to another TS Monday challenge! This time, we're winging it! Yep, we're looking for anything with wings. I decided to use Fairy Ava but went for a Halloween theme. Her dress and socks are paper pieced, used copics for the rest of her. This is my first attempt at a dotted background, reminds me of pointilism (sp?) in art class during my senior year of high school. I did it around her and in the corners of the nestie. Then I sponged around it and the sentiment with cocoa ink. There are black stickles on her antennae and diamond stickles on her wings.

I added a flourish around the sentiment using an MFT dienamic. The black strip, which you can't see much of, is a negative piece leftover from a different dienamic. Gotta love using scraps!

Thanks for taking a peek! Stop by and visit the rest of the TS gals to see what cuteness they've created!

Hugs,

BLOG HOP TIME!!!

Here are the latest additions to the Totally Stampalicious Collection from artist Sylvia Zet

and here are the latest and greatest from the Bugaboo Line by Jodie Mackerell!

Here's one I made using Road Trip Stella. Oh, I think she is so funny! I really felt her car needed

to be paper pieced! The rest of her is colored with copics. I also drew a road for her with some grass and sponged in a little blue for some "sky". The sketch is from SSSC135. I used my white gel pen to outline the two larger panels for a more cohesive look.

And here is Yoga Dottie. I know lots of moms that wish for "Serenity now" on a daily basis!

Ha!!! She's totally colored with copics, then I cut her out and popped her up on pop dots. The sketch is the latest from MFT. Love this dp, so I colored her to match it. I'm really, really trying hard to use up everything I have. Some bling and (another) button embellie thing in the corner finish her up!

Hi again! Let me introduce you to Storybook Elizabeth by artist Sylvia Zet! What a doll! I colored her with copics and sponged around her with pretty in pink. She's also up on pop dots. The sentiment is one of three from the set. I also sponged around it and popped it up on pop dots. The sketch is from this week's Mojo Monday. I don't usually color "blonde hair" on my images, so I thought I'd give it a try. Whatcha think? Added a pink bow that I made using my bow easy and some brads to finish it off.

Thanks for stopping by and be sure to check out what the rest of the DT made -->links are on the right side bar.

Off to my high schooler's open house! Ack!

TS Monday - challenge and a SNEAK PEEK!

2011-09-18T23:35:00.002-05:00

Happy Monday! Yes, it's a HAPPY Monday because we have a new challenge AND a sneak peek! That's right! Totally Stampalicious is releasing 5 NEW STAMP SETS this Thursday at our Blog Hop! First though, this week's challenge is to make a birthday card for a child. Easy, right?! Well, when you're using a cutie pie stamp like this one, yes, it is easy! Here's a peek at Fairy Ava. She's one of the new Bugaboo stamps that will be released this Thursday. A-DOR-able! I colored her with copics then cut her out. I used the newest sketch from CPS. The two little clouds are part of this sweet little stamp, so when it came to cutting out the sentiment, I thought I'd use another cloud. It's an MFT dienamic. I added the black outline so that it matched the little clouds, then popped it up on a pop dot. Lots of sponging on the MME Blush dp and some faux stitching top it all off.

A three layer Flourish challenge

2011-09-16T12:57:00.003-05:00

Hi all! I found some time to stamp and just HAD to participate in a Flourishes challenge which you can see HERE! Their stamps are so beautiful, I never have a hard time creating something with them! This was made for their Three's a Charm challenge, which was to make a card with only three layers! Kind of a tough one, so I added texture to the main panel by running it through my 'Bug with the polka dot embossing folder after I colored it with copics. I also distressed and rolled the edges of the dp layer. Some satin ribbon and a button w/ hemp finish it up.

Thanks for stopping by!

Hollyhocks

2011-09-12T12:46:00.003-05:00

***This is my 2nd post today! To see my Totally Stampalicious card, please scroll down!***

Hello again! I decided to play in this weeks' Flourishes FTTC which was to use "water" in your creation. I chose to ink up their new Hollyhocks set using Bermuda Bay (fits the challenge, right?!) on watercolor paper. Then I took my aquapainter, which hasn't been touched in quite some time, and just blended the ink to color in the flowers. The sentiment is also from this set and I used a Verve die to cut it out, added a brad then attached it to my satin ribbon using a glue dot. And I apologize for the blurry pic, I'm forcing myself to use my camera on the manual setting. :)

Thanks so much for stopping by!

Hugs,

Are YOU stampalicious???

2011-09-12T08:11:00.004-05:00

Because I AM TOTALLY STAMPALICIOUS!! That's right! I am now a part of the Totally Stampalicious design team! WAHOO!!! Our challenge for today is Anything Goes! Can't get any easier than that?!! I decided to color in one of the Cute Turtles - how adorable! The sentiment is also from this set. The sketch is this month's SFYTT. Had to bust out the trusty ol' corner rounder. I kept it fairly clean and simple but dressed it up with some piercing, a button and twine.

Now, go check out all of the dt blogs (link is above and on the side bar) and get inky!

Thanks for stopping by!

Hello, my pretty

2011-09-07T10:49:00.004-05:00

Hi again! It's Wednesday and that means another MFT sketch challenge! This is also my "last hoorah" as the guest designer this month. *sigh* It's been a blast! And you can bet your rear that I'll be trying out again and again and again... :)

For this weeks' sketch, I had to ink up this sweet Little Witch PI. And yes, I colored her face green! How fun!!! Her hat and dress were paper pieced with some fun Halloween dp from a year or two ago! I attached her using pop dots to some cardstock cut out with nesties. I'm so thrilled I finally got to use this self adhesive Flocked Lace! Added a pic of the inside - she's trying to be spooky peeking around to the side but she's "too cute to spook!" HA! Stop by the MFT BLOG to see what the other designers have cooked up for you!

Thanks again for all of the kind words! Y'all are awesome! I do hope you'll continue to visit... especially since I'll be starting on a new venture. *wink*

Hugs,

MFT BLOG HOP!

It's time! It's time! The new sets are available NOW!!! Before you scoot off to shop to your hearts' content, I leave you with this clean and simple card I made using the new Inspired by Flowers (set 3) with a sentiment from the All Smiles set.

This beautiful Poppy stamp was colored using copics. I cut the sentiment out using the middle part of the new postage stamp die from the First Class Friends set which is an absolute must have set!!! I popped the flower up on pop dots and added 3 silver brads to finish it off.

*sappy alert* I am truly grateful for all of you that have stopped by and left comments! Many many thanks to Kim and the entire MFT DT - you ladies are truly amazing and so encouraging and generous! Hope to be sharing the spotlight with y'all again some day... I've had such a blast!!!

Ok, now RUN, don't walk to Kim's Blog to check out the rest of the blog hop and GO SHOPPING!!!

Today's THE day!

Shortly after receiving these dies, I had the idea for this mini album. I have to say, I. AM. IN. LOVE. WITH. IT!!! I had planned on maybe sending it to my mom since we recently moved two hours away from her and I know she misses her grandsons... but I may have to make another one so that I can keep this one! For the first and last "pages", I used the Homespun Birdhouse dienamic to cut out some chipboard to make the album sturdier then covered it with dp that I also cut out with the same dienamic. The roof of the birdhouse was also made using chipboard then covered it with cardstock that I stamped with the woodgrain stamp in the set. The bottom part of the house was also done the same way. The sentiment is from the same set, but I cut it apart once I stamped it.

Right inside the cover, I used the bird dienamic from this set plus the leafy flourish die, part of the You Move Me die and the dizzy doily which I just cut to fit the page. I stamped "Home" from the set onto the mini ticket border die and attached it with a mini paper clip. And that's the 1st day of school smile I get from my 14 y.o.! Too cool to smile, so I just get a smirk, *sigh*...
For pages 3 and 4, I used the banner day dienamic and layered the little postage die from First Class Friends dienamics and stamped it with a heart from that set. There's also a bit of the medium scallop on there with some ric rac. Under my sweet 10 y.o.'s pic is a bit of the You Move me dienamic and some lace.
The dienamics on pages 5 and 6 are the heart from the Homespun Birdhouse and bit of the postage die from First Class Friends. I also added some ric rac and fancy ribbon. "Love" was stamped onto the mini ticket border die and attached with a mini paper clip. My 8 y.o. might look happy here, but was not near as much on the 2nd day of school, poor kid. It's better now (thanks to the book, The Kissing Hand!)...
And a quick pic of the back... I punched holes and added eyelets to every page then tied it all together with cappucino twine. I SO love how this little project turned out!!! It was so super easy to put it all together because all of the dienamics work amazingly well together!

Ok, the countdown is on for the release PAR-TAY!!! WOOT! WOOT! I can't WAIT!!! Hope to see you all there, shopping lists in hand!

Thanks a TON for visiting me every day and for ALL of the encouraging words!!! Y'all sure can make a girl feel special!

Hugs,

MFT teasers -day 6

2011-09-04T23:00:00.002-05:00

Hey!!! Guess what today is?!?! It's Pure Innocence day!!! I know these sweet images are hugely popular and MFT is releasing 5 new PIs this month! I have two cards for you today. First up is Morning Glory. The flower was colored with SU markers and everything else was colored with copics. I cut out the main image with the tag dienamic from Tag You're It and attached it at an angle (and on pop dots). I also used the butterfly, dizzy doily and dizzy border dienamics. The dp is from Authentique. Olive satin ribbon, pearls and vellum add some finishing touches. I also sponged around the main image with saffron ink.

And now we have Astronaut Girl. I could not help myself - I just HAD to make a little scene!!! The "space" ship is from the You Move Me set with matching dienamics. SOOO made for each other, right?! I used silver cord to make it look like she's floating around in space. Hehe! My "earth" was cut out with some old SU dp using nesties, then I hand cut some "water" out of some shimmery cardstock that was on my table. The "stars" were done using liquid pearls. Oh, not sure if you can see it, but there is crystal effects on her helmet. I cut out the sentiment and attached it like a banner, added a button with more silver cord. Finished off the inside with another sentiment from the set (they're separate, so no harm was done to any sentiments in the making of this card. :) ) and added a strip of the open zig zag border die. Everyone ready for release day?!?? I know I AM!

MFT teasers - day 5

2011-09-03T23:00:00.001-05:00

Hello again! It's a la mode day!!! I'd like to introduce Blue Without You! Being prior Air Force and with my husband still in (18 yrs and counting!), I have to say I love this girl and her sentiments! OH! And guess what I did?! I cut apart this sentiment. Jody made me do it! Ha! It definitely made it easier to stamp on the banner day dienamics! I also used the medium scallop and the dizzy doily dienamics. I added liquid pearls around the scallops and the edges of the red dp, which I'm not sure I should have because it already had dots on it. Hmmm, what do you think?? Her shirt is covered in a white glitter called something marble, I forget, and I obviously covered the star with yellow glitter after coloring it with copics. Added the twine to make it look like, well, a banner! And lookie, I finished the inside! These girls on the MFT dt are inspiring, aren't they?!?!!!

MFT teasers - day 4

2011-09-02T23:00:00.000-05:00

And welcome back for day 4 of MFT teasers! How awesome is it to have 7 days of teasers now?!?! I love it!

Today I'm featuring the First Class Friends dienamics and stamp set. I know it's called First Class Friends, but there are SO MANY stamps in this set, I found that it was just what I needed to make my hubby an anniversary card! (17 years today! wahoo!) The blue dp layer was stamped with the text stamp in the set. I inked it up with light and dark brown markers, though I only used part of the stamp. I love that little circle sentiment which reads, "You have my heart" (cue the *sighs*) and cut it out with the circle die that comes with the set and popped it up on a pop dot. The curvy postage lines, the "LOVE" and the "XO" are all in that set, as well. It's awesome, let me tell ya! The "XO" was cut using the super cute little envelope die that embosses and cuts at the same time! You may not be able to see the envelope lines on it because of the dp I used, but it is too cute! The strips going across under the main layers were cut out using the mini ticket border die. The top part is the actual die cut out and the little striped part is the negative of that die. *love* Added some cappucino twine and a little key to finish it up. OH! This card measures 4.5"x6", so the MME dp I used fit perfectly (love the swirls in the corners).

MFT Teasers - day 3

2011-09-01T23:00:00.001-05:00

Hi all!!! Welcome to day 3 of MFT teasers!!! For my card, I've used the Clearly Sentimental about Family set which is this month's triple scoop set. I just adore the sweet and wonderful sentiments in this set! And the word "family" is separate and comes in two different styles so it's super easy to color it up with a different ink, as I did, and fill in the blank of the sentiment. The sentiment is stamped on the middle part of the new postage die, which I used yesterday. Yep, the die cuts out the middle for you along with cutting that awesome postage frame! How SWEET!!!! I then layered it onto a saffron piece I cut out with the You Move Me dienamic and then layered that onto one of the dizzy doily dienamics and popped it up on pop dots. I also used the medium scallop on the left edge, added some mini rolled roses with brads in the centers and a few leafy flourishes dies. The two celery strips were embossed for added texture.

Today the MFT DT and I are showcasing the Inspired by Flowers (set 3). B-E-A-U-T-I-F-U-L is all I can say! I was told by some very helpful people (thanks, Barb and Jody!) that this is a poppy. I don't know if they come in this color, but these are the colors I thought of when I first saw it. Ain't it gorgeous?! Nothing but fabulousness can be made with these bad boys! Oh, and that cool postage die framing the flower??? Yep, it's a new dienamic! Yeehaw!!! And I just love this big, bold sentiment that's included in the set. The sentiment is cut out with, you guessed it, the file tab dienamic. The kraft panel behind the main was embossed, not sure if you can tell. A couple of layers are popped up on dimensionals, white taffeta ribbon and some pearls finish it up.

Thanks again for stopping by! Don't forget to go to Kim's blog and leave comments on the dt blogs for a chance to win a $10 voucher!

The card that almost wasn't...

2011-08-31T11:00:00.001-05:00

***Check out Day 1 of MFT teasers in the post below!!!***

Oh, this sweet little PI looks innocent enough, but don't let her fool ya! She gave me such a hard time and I've got the ink on almost every finger to prove it! Really, it's not her fault and I can neither confirm nor deny that my not eating breakfast and having way too much coffee this morning had anything to do with the fits this card gave me. Yes, I just finished it this morning but that had nothing to do with it either... ok, maybe it did... *done whining* :)

I totally had different dp in mind when I was coloring this Sunflower Girl. Hope you don't mind me using this MME dp again because I just love it and well, it totally worked with her today! I think I'm starting to get used to these wonky panels, too! The sentiment is from the All Smiles set and was cut out using the file tab dienamic. Instead of the circle on the sketch, I just cut apart a Leafy flourish dienamic and placed it under the main panel. And yes, I did mean to leave her shoes white! They're actually colored in with a white gel pen... makes me think of those patent leather white shoes little girls wear. The scalloped edge on the main image panel was cut using the medium scallop dienamic. Yes, I loooove my dienamics!

Thanks for stopping by and be sure to check out the list of designers on the MFT Blog to see their magic with this sketch!

Are y'all ready for a week full of FUN?!?! I know I AM!!! Up first is this month's Who's That Girl...

Er, I mean, Who's that Mummy! That is one sassy mummy! And don't you love that sentiment?! Ha! She is completely colored with copics (and a little bit of SU's barely banana marker). I drew the lines on the floor for a cool black and white tile look. I used 4 MFT dienamics on this card: dizzy doily duo, file tab, open zig zag border, and tag you're it. A button and a little gingham top off the tag. I added two more buttons, some faux stitching and two hand-stitched X's to finish it all off.

Sketches make me happy!

2011-08-24T11:00:00.002-05:00

Hi all! Well, the boys are back in school! I thought I was ready until I dropped off my middle one at middle school (the 9th grader caught the bus - ACK, one in high school!). Seeing my sweet middle child walking around those monstrous high schoolers (his campus is combined with the high school) freaked me out! I cried! Ugh. Then dropping off the 3rd grader wasn't any easier... but they all came home and said they had a pretty good day, so I felt better. On to the craftiness!

This week's sketch was a tough one for me! Something about skinny tilted panels... so I took the easy way out! Dienamics to the rescue! I finally broke down and got these Butterfly dienamics. Aren't they so pretty!?! I decided to go all Jackie Pedro on you and ruffle up some velvet ribbon. Maybe I should let Jackie do it since she's better? :) The only stamping is the sentiment, which is from the Triple Scoop promo set, All Smiles. I highlighted the word "You" with a marker. The sentiment was cut out using the File Tab dienamic, but I snipped off the edges so it looks like I just rounded the edges. The panel that the sentiment is attached to is up on pop dots because of the bulky ribbon. I added silver pearls to the butterflies, partly because I had to cover up a small boo-boo (he!), then added larger pearls to all four corners. On the inside, I simple added some dp cut out using Dizzy Border dienamic with another strip of dp on top.

Thanks for popping in! Be sure and check out the MFT Blog to see the list of designers working with the sketch this week!!!

I like MFTWSC33 a latte!

2011-08-16T23:00:00.000-05:00

Hi! Here's my take on this week's sketch challenge for MFT. I decided to go with a fave of mine, the Miss You a Latte a la mode. I paper pieced her pants and the part of the cups with my new MME six by six dp! Love! She's also cut "out of the box" (see her legs kinda hanging over the ribbon?). I split up the sentiment so it would fit in a circle and added a blingie circle that I got from M's a while ago. I used the Mini Ticket border dienamic and highlighted the cut out notches with extra bling. Lots of dp used here and I LOVE it!

Thanks for stopping by and be sure to swing by the MFT BLOG to see the list of amazing designers participating in the sketch!

Berry sweet

2011-08-12T15:51:00.003-05:00

Hi! Yes, I stamped again! I'm on a roll and I love it!

Here's a card I made for one of Flourishes release challenges which you can see here. I love coloring the images from Flourishes sets! Used various copics for the berries and leaves and outlined the image using SU's barely banana marker. I sponged around the main image with saffron ink. I used riding hood red to sponge the center of the sentiment panel, which is up on dimensionals. The moss panel behind the main image was stamped using one of the leaf images in versamark from the same set. I used my moss SU marker to add more color to the leaves. I'm happy that I got to use up some old SU dp and riding hood taffeta ribbon. Added a button, some bling and faux stitching to finish it all up!

Thanks for stopping by!

Boyish birthday tag

2011-08-11T20:34:00.005-05:00

Hi! Gee, can you tell I have "birthday" on the brain?!! My BABY will be 8 on Saturday (he's the cutie wearing the birthday boy pin that I made a few posts below)!!! ACK! Makes me sad, but he is thrilled to be turning a year older. *sigh*

Anyway, he's a tag I made for Verve's Get Your Diva On challenge, which was, duh, to use tags. It felt SO good to use up one of the SU chipboard tags I've had, honestly, for years! I covered the tag with some dp, then sanded and sponged the edges in

brown. That sweet sentiment is from their Birthday Bash set, as are the two balloons which I paper pieced and popped up on dimensionals. I cut out the sentiment using Verve's Charming Oval dies and layered it over two different nesties. The corrugated border strip is an MFT border die. I added the button, which may look like it's actually attached to the twine from the balloons, but it's not! hehe! Some green metal bling finishes it up - I thought as long as the "bling" is a boy color and metal, it'd be ok to add to this grungy-boyish tag! Whatcha think? Here's a pic highlighting more of the texture:

As always, thanks for stopping by! I truly appreciate your comments!

Thinking of the latest MFT sketch!

2011-08-09T23:00:00.002-05:00

Hi! One of the perks of being a guest designer for MFT is getting to post the weekly sketch challenges with the rest of the design team. So here ya have it - MFTWSC32! I love me a good sketch and THIS is a great sketch! I paired this sweet Are We There Yet PI with a sentiment from the Because You're Special PI. I colored her with copics and added "texture" to her purse with my colorless blender - I wanted it to look like a blue jean-type fabric. Other MFT goodies I used were the You Move Me die, which is under the main image, one of the mini rolled rose dies, the medium scallop border die and honeydew twine. A double row of faux stitching finishes it all off! Check out Kim's Blog to see the list of the AMAZING design team so you can check out their fabulousness with this sketch!

And here's a peek at the inside of my card...

Thanks for stopping by!

Beautiful friend and AWESOME news!

2011-08-08T11:23:00.005-05:00

Hi! Have a great weekend?! Ours was nice, nothing crazy, had some fun with friends, etc... Dh left yesterday for a work trip for the week, so I had some crafty time last night! I made this one for the latest MFT sketch challenge. The bird and sentiment are from their Inspired by Spring set. I'm really trying, as are a lot of you from what I see in blogland, to use up the DP that I have on hand. I've barely touched this Basic Grey paper pack and thought the bird would look cool colored to match this pretty paper. This card is a 4.25" square card and the base is SU's going gray (I believe!). The doily is an MFT dienamic (*love*). Mr. Bird is popped up on a dimensional, added some taffeta ribbon, a fancy brad and made a sentiment banner to finish it up.

Thanks for taking a peek!

Oh, yea, you want to hear my AWESOME news?!!!!? Remember that cool birthday boy pin I made for the MFT guest designer challenge?? Well, I WON!!!!! Yes, ma'am!!!!! I will get to show off next month's sneaks with the rest of their AMAZINGLY TALENTED design team!!! ME!!!!! A "no one" in the stamping world! Unfrigginbelievable, huh?!?!!!! I'm B-E-Y-O-N-D excited!!!!!!!!!! Ok, thanks for letting me share that news with you!

Till next time -

2011-08-01T00:15:00.004-05:00

Hi all! Hope everyone enjoyed their weekend! I had some time to get crafty today and worked on my entry for this month's MFT guest DT challenge. My youngest will turn 8 (gasp!) in a couple of weeks, so he was my inspiration for this pin. I had a BLAST making this! The boy is from their Ahoy Matey set. He normally has an eye patch over his right eye and a scarf on his head, not to mention his entire lower body! I only inked up part of his face and upper body so that I could add his right "eye" and a birthday hat! Fun, right?! His hat (and the pointy "spikes" around the outside of the pin) were made using one of their banner dies ( I forget the name!). I also used two of the dizzy doily dienamics, the fishtail banner dienamics and the dienamic that comes with the You Move Me set. LOVE 'em all!!! The kraft colored piece I have the boy mounted on is actually a piece of corrugated paper I've had forever and finally used! OH! Almost forgot... the red strip is one of their border dienamics, too! Dimensionals and two embossing folders add LOTS of texture and, well, dimension! The glitter brad was "approved" by my soon-to-be 8 y.o. - as long as it was green! He thought the pin was pretty cool and proudly showed his brothers! Yay!!! :) Here's a pic of him wearing it:

Ain't he cute?!!!

Ok, well, wish me luck and have a great week!

Hugs,

Hi again! I'm playing catch-up on the MFT Wednesday Sketch Challenges. This is for week 28. All of the stamps are from the newer You Move Me set. My poor scooter sure is
facing an uphill battle, huh?! Ha! I also used the scooter to make my own dp for the panel under the main one. The little strips of dp are from JilliBean Soup. The sentiment "scooting by to say hi" is all one stamp, but I broke it up so it would fit on the file tab dienamic. The two larger cloud puffs are dies included in the You Move Me set (how cute, right?!?!!). I cut the smallest one by hand. The sketch called for two little embellishments on the upper right, but when I started adding buttons, I decided to go with a stop light! Here's a pic of the inside:

Nothing fancy, just the rest of the sentiment, another stamped scooter and some matching dp. I'd much rather use those extra strips of dp, than have them laying around my craft room!

Catch ya later,

knock, knock - Is this thing on?!

2011-07-25T22:30:00.003-05:00

Loooong time, no see! How y'all been? I'm thrilled to report that we are just about all settled into the new house and I just got my craft room about 95% set up!!!! Can I get a *WOOT* *WOOT*?!?!!! I'm truly blessed to be able to have a craft room, though it did mean that two of the boys have to share a room now. They're little and don't mind one bit - well, maybe the 10 y.o. does some, but not the 7 y.o.! :) On to the card...

I've had a nice stash of new goodies patiently waiting for me. This card uses the new Aim High PI by MFT. There are 4 different MFT dienamics on here! The little flourish next to the rolled rose doesn't actually look like that. Once I cut it out, I clipped it here and there to piece it together and make it work for that spot. All of the dp is from the new Authentique 6x6 pad. It's so yummy! They also have a pack that has blues in it and one with pinks - something just drew me to the yellow one. And who doesn't love a kite with a blingy string! Some faux stitching, a few panels up on pop dots and a brad in the center of the rolled rose finish it all up. I'm loving how her hair turned out. While blogging, I noticed a few people saying that they blend too much when using Copics, so I tried not to blend so much and definitely got the look I was hoping for.

Ok, I sure do hope to see y'all around here more often!

Hugs,

Hi! Here's a card I made for this week's color challenge on SCS and for the MFT WSC 22. The flowers are from the Inspired by Spring MFT set and the sentiment if from a PI set. I just love when I use up some old dp! The one I used here is a retired SU dp. I used the medium scallop MFT dienamic in two places, can you spot them?!?! One is obvious - the melon strip across the card. The other is on the bottom. I placed the die on the card base, flipped it over, then used a pencil to "emboss" the scallops. Had to add pearls to accentuate the scallops!'

Thanks for stopping by!

hugs,

Goodness, me!

2011-06-06T21:59:00.004-05:00

HI ALL! Yep, long time no see... hopefully you'll be seeing more of me now that I'm done with work for a few months.
If you visit here, you know I love MFT (and Flourishes and... ok, I'll stop there) so I couldn't resist the MFT guest designer challenge. We had to "personalize" something, so why not go for a Father's Day card?! I tried to keep it as manly looking as possible, but did have to add some brads and twine. ;) The fishtail banner and pointy border die are both from MFT. The stamp is from one of their "Inspired by..." sets, can't remember the name but I love it! I decided to color the tree in with some copics. The tree and banner are all popped up.
Thanks for stopping by!

hugs,

An Easter card

2011-04-12T18:19:00.002-05:00

Hi!!! Here's an Easter card I made using a new PI, who I think is sold out at the moment - just tried looking for her on the site and couldn't find her! Anywho, I paper pieced her dress and colored everything else with copics. Used some dp I've had a while (yay!) and ruffled some ribbon around the edges. Nesties, sponging and brads finish it up. I made this using a sketch from MFT and for Flourishes release challenge.

Thanks for stopping by!

Hugs,

Shabby MFT flower girl

2011-04-04T17:16:00.006-05:00

Hi all! Here's my latest card for this months' MFT guest designer challenge - Shabby Chic! Whatcha think? Too much? I have to say that I had a BLAST making this card! It was one of those where you just keep thinking, "oooh, what else can I add??!". The card base is kraft and I used a combo of crate paper and MME designer papers. I pieced her cute little dress and jacket, the rest I colored with copics. The doily behind her is from a pack of Martha Stewart ones that I got a while back. I made the half rosette myself - *side note~I'm sure it's much easier with a die!* The little strip of scalloped kraft (next to the dp that's yellow with flowers) is from the MFT banner die. It's supposed to be the top part of the banner, but I thought it made a cute border. I added liquid pearls to it, though most of it is covered by everything else! ;) I cut out some kraft using the dizzy border dienamic from MFT and covered the middle with some lace trim. The main layer that she's on is up on dimensionals. I broke up the sentiment so that it fit in my Verve die. I poked a hole in one end, added some MFT twine, an antique button and a cute little key to dress it up even more. Lots of sponging on the sentiment die, the doily and the black-ish dp layer. I roughed up the edges of the main layer that she's on and the yellow flowery dp. Here's a close up of the sentiment detailing:

Oh, and don't forget the bling! I added some swirls to the left and two little ones on the upper right! Ok, too much description?!? Hehe, sorry! Hope you like it! I'd just be thrilled to PIECES if I won!!! ;) Oh, I almost forgot!!! I finishes the inside, too! Nothing too fancy, just another bit of dizzy border, matching dp and that sweet girl stamped off to the left.

Hugs,

First a la mode card!

2011-03-18T19:17:00.003-05:00

Hi all! After spending a good part of the day at the zoo, I came home and finished up a card that I'd started last night. This one was made for MFT's latest sketch challenge. I've had my eye on this particular a la mode for the longest and finally broke down and bought it! My mornings just aren't right if I don't get my coffee! ;) I colored her with copics and cut her out with that out of the box method, I think it's called. She's also up on dimensionals, as is the sentiment. I happily used up some of my dp stash (October Afternoon here) and some bling to finish it all off.

Thanks for taking a peek! Hope you're all enjoying some pleasant weather - I know we are!

Get some butta...

2011-03-16T11:38:00.004-05:00

'Cuz I'm on a roll! HA! I made this for 4 challenges! Today's sketch challenge on SCS, two of Flourishes' blog challenges and once I was done, I realized it fit Joanne B's Blogaversary challenge! Love how things work out sometimes!
I loved how easy the SC was for today, so I started there. I stamped the Gerber daisies from Flourishes onto SU's newest pink cs. I used copics to highlight parts of the flowers. I then sponged and distressed that layer. I finally broke down and used some of that scrumptious MME Stella and Ruby dp you see almost everywhere these days! Is anyone else like me and doesn't like to waste dp? It looks like I've used a nice big piece of that pretty paper doesn't it? Nope, I cut out a rectangle in the center, which is obviously covered up by the main images. Now I have a good sized scrap to use on another card! Moving on... I used that fun dizzy border die from MFT behind my sentiment and added some twine (I think this one is the honeydew, picks up the green in the dp) and popped it up on dimensionals. The butterfly has stickles on its wings and is also up on a dimensional. Ok, any clue as to why my stitching is coming out backwards? I swear I didn't sew it upside down! Just showing off my sewing skills there, ha!

Thanks again for stopping by!

Hugs,

A trio of challenges...

2011-03-15T15:56:00.002-05:00

Hi all! Hope everyone is enjoying their spring break - well, at least it's spring break for us! I'm so grateful to have some time to do some spring cleaning and STAMPING! ;)
I made this card for three challenges. One is today's color challenge over on SCS. I haven't posted a card on the same day as a challenge since last summer, I think! The other challenge is MFT's weekly sketch challenge. And the final challenge is Joanne B's blog challenge. You had to pick three things from a list she gave and my 3 are faux stitching, kraft paper and twine. This is my first Fred Bear stamp from MFT and let me tell ya, he was SO fun to color! I colored him with an aquapainter using suede and baja inks. I used copics for the grass, a gold copic spica pen for the flower centers and a white gel pen for the flower petals. Fortunately, I was able to use some of my new twine, also from MFT, and their newest border die, which I think is called the dizzy border, but it seems to be sold out. My mini rolled rose has liquid pearls in the center because I didn't have the right size pearl bling to put in there. I decided to not put a sentiment just yet, because I'm finding myself short on birthday cards lately.
Thanks for stopping by!

Hello... Is this thing on!???

2011-03-09T21:57:00.003-06:00

Thought I fell off the face of the Earth, huh? Ha! Nope, just a busy, busy mom. And I must apologize for the fact that I don't post in weeks and here I go making another pink and brown card! Well, I needed this one for a coworker's baby shower. I used MFT's sketch from last week. The stamp set is from Flourishes, but the sentiment is from an SU set. The bassinet was embossed with white ep. I'm thrilled that I used up some old dp! Added taffeta ribbon, a corduroy brad and some pearls. Ah, and I added a little faux stitching to the sentiment banner.

Oh, and here's what I've been doing a lot of lately...

Watching any one of my three boys rounding bases! Yes, sir, baseball season is HERE!!! I'm also working on getting a little side job going, but more on that another day.

Thanks for stopping by!

Hugs,

Ready for another PI?

2011-02-05T20:52:00.005-06:00

I hope so because I can't put these things down! :) And I don't know if it's me, but I can't NOT paper piece them?! It's just so easy to do and I love making their clothes coordinate with whatever dp I'm using! I also paper pieced her shoes and the cupcake "icing". This is for another fun MFT sketch challenge over on SCS. I colored the rest of her with copics and added a little watercoloring using regal rose ink around her to help her stand out some. The sentiment is from the same set, except I stamped the words individually so that they were on top of each other, rather than in one line so that I could easily punch it out. And yes, I had to add a couple of those sweet mini rolled roses with bling centers! Also added some brown pearls to the bottom scallops. She's up on dimensionals, in case you couldn't tell, with a cuttlebugged cocoa layer and some satin ribbon. Voila! Wish I could've stamped more since we had a SNOW DAY on Friday - yes, down here in southeast TX!!! Sadly, we didn't get any snow, just some not so fun ICE! Ick! So the boys made due with what Mother Nature delivered, as you can see here:

Some icicle, huh?! Hehe! Alrighty, thanks for poppin' in!

hugs,

Just thinking of an MFT sketch

2011-01-16T21:46:00.002-06:00

Hi all! Hope you've enjoyed your weekend! I'm fortunate enough to have Monday off, so I'm up late stamping!
I made this card for the newest MFT sketch challenge which you can see HERE. This sweet PI is one of the newest releases called Because You're Special. I paper pieced her dress and little jacket then cut her out and put her up on mini glue dots. The saffron dp layer she is on is up on dimensionals. Feels SO good to use up the dp I've had for years! I changed the position of the banner on the sketch and also moved the three little dots to the top left of the olive dp.
Thanks for stopping by and comments are MUCH appreciated ;)!!!

hugs,

Sweet apples!

2011-01-12T22:16:00.002-06:00

Hi all! Thought I'd share another card with you! Stamping regularly does wonders for the soul!!! ;)
I made this for the Flourishes blog challenge which was to use reds, pinks and white. I used the cute little apple from the Apple of my eye set. I colored them with copics and SU markers (but mostly copics!). The dp is from a retired SU pack. The red strips were scored and I pierced around the entire card base. The sentiment is from the set that has blueberries and raspberries (can't think of the name) and I sponged around it using pink and red inks. Oh, and if you can't tell, the apple layer is up on dimensionals! And guess what I did, can you see it? I stamped on the inside of the card! Haha, not a big deal and nothing fancy, but I think it's a nice subtle touch for the inside to stamp using the pink ink on the pink base.
Alrighty, time to hit the hay!

hugs,

A triple challenge card!

2011-01-10T17:34:00.003-06:00

Yes, it took me just a little motivation to stamp - three challenges!!!! This was made for the current SFYTT, Color Throw Down and the Flourishes blog challenge, FTTC99 (which I was 9 minutes too late to upload to, bummer!). I was lucky enough to find these scraps of baja and cameo cardstock to use for the color throw down challenge. This image was given to me a while back from my sweet friend, Stacy. See that little mini rolled rose on the center of my bow? That's my new MFT mini rolled rose die-namic! SO CUTE!!!! I added a silver gem to the center.
Thanks for stopping by!

hugs,

p.s. Can you believe I posted two days in a row?! ;)

New goodies and an MFT sketch

2011-01-09T22:37:00.003-06:00

Hi all, those few that still stop by to see what I'm up to, hehe! I got to stamp again! Wahoo! And look, I got some new MFT goodies!!! This is the set "I love us" from their newest release. TOOOO cute, huh?! Happy to say that my hubby's valentine's day card is done! The patterned paper is Echo Park's Be Mine pack. I colored them with SU and copics to match the paper. I used a gold spica pen for her eyeshadow and drew him a striped tie for extra details. Oh, and I punched out some hearts, laid them on the black cs and spritzed it with marshmallow glimmer mist. Yes, I went a little overboard with this card! Annndddd, I sponged around the main image and sentiment. Ok, done! Need to get to bed, loooong week ahead! Nite all and thanks for stopping by!

hugs,

Celebrate!

2011-01-03T20:56:00.002-06:00

Hi all! My hubby was nice enough to take the boys with him for an overnight getaway (he had to go for business), so I had time to stamp. Great way to start off the new year, right?! I made this banner card for the MFT guest designer challenge. The banner at the top is an MFT die-namic and the little patterned pink edging is from the same die. The sentiment was stamped out using an MFT alpha set, which I then cut into a banner, of course! Added some bling and there ya go - first new birthday card of the year!
Wish me luck!!! Now, back to reality tomorrow - first day of work in two week! Ick.

hugs,

Happy New Year and...

2011-01-01T13:23:00.004-06:00

Happy Birthday to me! ;) Yep, entering a whole new decade, NOT that I'm thrilled about it, but hey, I'm THANKFUL to be here and to have the most wonderful little family to celebrate with! Here's a pic (one of over a hundred!) I took last night. Our neighbors put on quite a display and I went a little snap-happy! Here's another fave:
I sure hope this year brings many wonderful blessings for you all!!! Enjoy the little things and take time for yourself - that's MY plan, anyway!!!

Hugs,

A manly sketch challenge with a Colour Q

2010-12-30T11:01:00.002-06:00

Hi all and Merry {late} Christmas!!!! I hope it was a great one with lots of yummy food and quality family time! We definitely enjoyed ours and the monsters seemed quite happy with all of their new things. On to the card!

First of all, I got a new camera and I mention this because I wanted to upload this card to Splitcoast and I can't crop it small enough to do so! Bummer! So I guess I need to check some settings (or if anyone has a clue what to do, please share!) and try again. I made this for the sketch challenge this week AND for the ColourQ challenge. I love their challenges and have stalked them for a while, but this will be my first time participating. We needed a card for one of my hubby's coworkers and since it's been sooo long since I stamped, I needed a LOT of guidance on where to get started. *note: I have never claimed to be much of a seamstress, especially when it comes to straight lines, so anything that does turn out straight, was purely an act of God! *a note on that note: Now I know why they're called a "seamstress" because "sewer" looks like that place where the alligators live (ha, name that movie!). Moving on... I ran the olive layer through my 'bug using the houndstooth folder and the basic gray layer is already textured. The tree layer is up on dimensionals. I colored the tree with SU markers. The sentiment is from an Elzybells (*sniff*) set. Added a little sewing and done!
Well, for those of you that check in once in a while, I truly appreciate it! I promise to make myself stamp more and therefore, POST more to my poor little blog!
I hope that 2011 brings you all many blessings! Happy New Year!!!!!

A merry Flourish challenge

2010-11-28T11:58:00.003-06:00

Hi again! Aaahhh, don't you just love holidays? Time off from work, spending time with your family and oh, yea, STAMPING time! Lots to be thankful for!
Here's a card I made for the Flourishes blog challenge FTTC94. I ordered this new set, Christmas Classics a couple of weeks ago and it has been calling my name! Love this set with it's classic images and sweet sentiments. I paper pieced the stockings and colored the rest copics and SU markers. I added frosted lace stickles to the white parts of the stockings. The sentiment was spritzed with some marshmallow glimmer mist.
Thanks for stopping by!

hugs,

Last but not least...

2010-11-28T10:29:00.002-06:00

This boy...

is the baby, but don't call him that!
is obsessed with Storm Troopers... slightly. ;)
is so full of energy!
has the sweetest puppy dog eyes that may or may not have gotten him out of trouble a time or two.
says the most random things.
is very competitive, as are the other two.
is the perfect piece to complete our little family circle.

Stay tuned... I actually have a card to upload! Yikes, I know!

hugs,

Now this boy...

2010-10-29T23:04:00.002-05:00

Is the sweetest middle child... ever.
Is turning ten on Saturday.
Is more thoughtful and considerate than most people.
Is a perfectionist.
Is an awesome baseball player!
Makes me proud every day.

Happy Birthday, sweet pea.

This boy...

2010-10-23T14:12:00.004-05:00

Is a ham!
Is making me feel old, now that he's a teenager.
Is smart.
Is a cancer survivor!
Is stronger than he realizes sometimes (see above!).
Is part of the reason I don't get to stamp much, but that's okay because he's awesome and there's nothing I'd rather do than watch him kick butt on the baseball field.

Dessert Rose sketchy card

2010-10-10T17:21:00.003-05:00

Oh my, I know it's been a loooong time since my last post. Not by choice, trust me!
Here's a card I made today for Julee's MOJO159 challenge. I used the small butterfly from Verve's Blue Skies set - cut it out and added stickles to it. The sentiment is from Flourishes (couldn't find one of my Verve sentiment sets! bummer!). I cuttlebugged the layer under the butterfly and the top part of the rose red layer. Love this lace ribbon I got during my last trip to A's. Added a button w/ silver cording for some extra detail.

THANKS for stopping by!!!

Do pearls go with gingham?

2010-08-13T21:19:00.002-05:00

Well, I think so! At least on this card, ha! Kind of an elegant country look, no? I made this for Flourishes new release blog challenge to make a card inspired by a games that kids play. I went with four square. I'd never heard of it before, but my boys have loved playing it at school for a couple of years now.
This is my first card with one of my newest Flourishes stamps. And btw, have you seen their new Sunflower set????!!! Jaw dropping, I tell you! This is colored w/ copics, then sponged with regal rose SU ink. The gingham dp is a retired one from SU. It was tough cutting that image into four squares, I have to say, but I like the final look. I added a button w/ hemp to the ribbon and some pearls on the corners of the riding hood red layer to finish it all up. I'll add a sentiment to the lower right square of the main image once I need it for an occasion.
Thanks for stopping by!

Hugs,
