I am hoping-even though I know she wants to get to it-that she will wait atleast until I get off of work today at 4:30!! Wish us both luck!! This is the card that I made for this weeks My Favorite things sketch challenge!! I will try to fill in more details later!! All I can say is this new line of MFTpresents stamps are fabulous, and can you believe I used Bravo Burgandy and it isn't making me gag!! Thanks for stopping by and have a great day!!
Here is my card for today's Prettie Wednesday challenge. I used the very first set I ever bought from Paper Pretties, Look Who's Perky. I was enticed into going by all the fabulous cards Charmaine was posting and lets just say, the rest is history!! Jillian's challenge from two weeks ago was to make it new again, so I thought that was appropriate. I stamped the tea pot twice, once on Daisy Buckets Secret Garden Dp and once on Very Vanilla. I colored in the parts I didn't paper piece, used some SU paper, followed the SCS sketch for today, and added my big bow at the top, you know I love em!! Next weeks challenge is being hosted by me and it is to use BRIGHT colors including ORANGE-yuk!! Joni is this weeks challenger and she has challenged us to write it out-to use our own handwriting or drawing on a card!! Be sure to go around and check out all the other Prettie Girls creations-their links are in my sidebar!! Okay, sorry I didn't go into more detail, but I gotta run!! I have a couple of things that I haven't shared yet, so at least I know I have stuff to post the next couple of days!! I will try to keep you updated on her progress!! Thanks for stopping by and have a great day!!
I used my Cuddle Me stamp set from Paper Pretties. I stamped her twice, once on Real Red DP from the Prints Pack and once on pearlescent white. I colored in the parts I didn't paper piece with my SU markers and outlined the whole image with my Prismacolor Cool Grey marker. I cut out my image and layers with my Cuttlebug and Nestabilities and layered it on some pearlescent white and So Saffron paper. The background is different strips of Dp with some red organdy and silver brads. That's all for me right now, I have more to share, but I can't concentrate until she calls me!! Thanks for stopping by and have a great day!!
So here I sit with this super cute image, that IMHO is gorgeously colored with my SU markers, aqua painter and glitter pen, and it's too big!! So instead of scratching the whole idea, I made what I am lovingly calling the Non-SFYTT. What do you think?? LOL!! The paper is by Daisy Buckets and I used my Oval Nesties to cut it out. The main image is by Stampavie and I bought it at Sweet n Sassy stamps. I added some ribbon, faux stitching with my white gel pen, a spiral clip with ribbon, and brads in all the corners. The flower on here is a sheer blossom, and for the life of me, I have no idea how to use them, so I stamped my sentiment on it, and called it good!! It is attached with a brad from the Stylized Silver hardware. That is all for me for now. I have a house full of girls and I had to steal away to get this done!! Wish me luck, and hopefully I will get to stamp tonight when they go to bed!! Thanks for stopping by and have a great day!! 
and I added a circle sentiment. I used my SU set A Little Birdie Told Me. I colored it in with my SU markers and aqua painter and cut it out with my Nestabilities. I had dug out these wire flowers for the ways to use it challenge this week, but never got to make a card, so I decided to put them on here. I am going to my sister's house today to help clean her house and get the nursery ready. She is on semi-bed rest, so she needs help. I have a feeling Jared is going to get here sooner than she thinks!! Have a great day!! 
How stinking exciting is that!! The card itself is so gorgeous, and I can't even tell you how lucky I feel to receive it!! It actually arrived at the perfect time. The sentiment on the front says"you're destined for greatness", and it is so funny that it came the day after Christie Ortman from Paper Pretties asked me to be her Design Team Coordinator!! How awesome is that!! It also came on my first day of work by myself, so that was super encouraging too!! Thank you so much Amy, you totally made my day!! Have a great day and thanks so much for stopping by!!
that I have never really been able to work with dew drops, but the last few orders that I have placed have had some on them. Oh well, I think it's worth it-translation- I LOVE this card!! It turned out just the way I planned, maybe even better and I couldn't be happier!! I embossed the branch from Artfully Asian on Bashful Blue with winter white EP and then colored in all the flowers and leaves with my white gel pen. After the gel pen dried, I colored over the top of the flowers and leaves with my markers. I did the gel pen first so that the true color showed up, and not the marker color mixed with the blue of the paper. I then layered it with white, Certainly Celery and Rose Red. I then took a piece of taffeta ribbon and a ribbon slide from the Stylized Silver hardware and tied my ribbon through it. The sentiment is a rub on from the SU Sellabration Love and Happiness rub ons and is framed with some more hardware. I added silver brads to all the corners too. The base is the same colors, minus the blue, and it was run through my Cuttlebug with the distressed stripes folder. I put a piece of blue satin ribbon around it that I got from a ribbon share with Jody(texasjodylynn). I then placed three white flowers from Michaels with some hydrangea Robin's Nest dew drops and it was done. That is it for me now. I have an AWESOME RAK to share and I hope to get to stamp some more!! Thanks for stopping by and have a great day!!
night at the release party. The challenge was to use black paper and embellishments on your card. I used some white, and some black and white, but I think you get the point. I stamped this image early this morning to make some 3x3 cards for one of the other challenges from the party last night, but I just couldn't get inspired to do anything with it. I had already had both of my sheep stamped on watercolor paper with black Stazon when I started to "see" my card, that was almost 11hrs ago, and I am just now done!! I am pooped, so I am going to make this super quick. I colored the grass in with my Old Olive marker and aqua painter. The grass stamp is from the MFT set It's a Jungle Out There. I sponged in the sky with Bashful Blue. The sentiment(isn't it perfect) is from the Paper Pretties set Wade E. Bug. I wanted it to look like a thought bubble so I used my black brads to help create that . The sentiment was punched out with my SU oval punch and the black oval was cut out with my oval Nestabilities. It looked kinda plain, so I used my white gel pen to add some dots to the scallops. I put liquid applique all over both sheep and heated it to make it puffy. Then I stamped a separate sheep and cut out his head and popped it up to give it some dimension. The black strip was run through my Cuttlebug with the Swiss Dots folder and then I used my corner rounder to make scallops. I added some black gingham ribbon and white brads and put that up on dimensionals. The SU Aida cloth background stamp was used to make the background. I added some photo corners and it was done. I really love this card, I just wish it hadn't caused me so much grief!! Wish me luck in the contest, there are always so many fabulous entries!! Thanks for stopping by and have a great day!!
(using only SU supplies of course) of any size or shape, as long as it wasn't a standard(5 1/2x4 1/4) sized card. My card is 3x6 and it was made using my favorite stamp set, Bloomin' Beautiful. I know I am not alone here when I say that I am DYING for the new SU catalog. Every year I get so excited just thinking about all the new eye candy!! There is still a ton I want out of the current catalog, but hopefully none of it will retire. If so, I will have a lot of explaining to do when our mad money disappears!! I used Cameo Coral and Old Olive for this card. The strip down the middle is some Old Olive DSP. The edges of the main image are distressed and the sentiment is from Warm Words. What do you think?
I stamped Cooper on watercolor paper and colored him in using my SU markers. The Dp is some Imagine That paper that I had leftover from my sisters shower decorations. The sentiment is from the retired SU set Riveting and was stamped twice, once in Ballet Blue, and then again in Pumpkin Pie. I punched both out and mounted them on Ballet Blue and Pumpkin Pie. The PP layer was cut out using the scallop punch then turned a little(while attached to another piece of paper) and cut again to make it "spiky" for lack of a better word. I added some Pumpkin Pie ribbon and silver brads and it was done. I sure hope they all it!! I have been meaning to post these cards for a week now, and I finally remembered to do it!! Yayyy me!!
This last card I recieved in the mail today from Jennifer(lovetostamp6) over at Jennifer's Sweet Designs. Isn't it beautiful!! Thanks so much Jennifer, I love it!!
Love"!!LOL!! I started by stamping my Luke and Lexi stamp from the Paper Pretties set Sealed With A Kiss. I then colored it in with my SU markers and blended it with my aqua painter. You can't see it from the photo, but I used my glitter pen to add some sparkle to her belt, hairband, pearls, and earrings. Then I used my Cuttlebug and Nestabilities to cut out the image and layer it with Ruby Red and Chocolate Chip. For my background, I used some more of my Cosmo Cricket Honey Pie paper. To keep to the sketch, I tied a Chocolate Chip Satin ribbon around the card and tied it in a knot. For the vertical piece, I used a scrap and just glued it around the card. The main image is up on pop dots and I added three ruby brads to the top and bottom of the card. For the sentiment, I used one of the many sayings from the Paper Pretties Made With Love set and I curved it on my block so that it would follow the curve of the circle. I always love it when people do that, but I never remember to try it myself and I was so proud of myself that I did tonight. Be sure to blurf around and see all the other Prettie Girls' work. So, you wanna play along? Good, we love it when you do, just leave a link to your card so that we can all see it!! Last week Jillian challenged us to make it new again by taking our oldest set and using it, yikes!! This week it is my turn to challenge the Prettie Girls and it is my first time to do so, yayy!! My challenge girls, should you chose to except it, is to make a card using BRIGHT colors, and of those colors, one of them must be orange!! Good luck girls!! Thanks for stopping by, and have a great day!!
