Little Paper Shop Monday Challenge

Scroll down one post for my There She Goes Blog Hop post!!


Every Monday on the Little Paper Shop blog there is a challenge posted. I have a bunch of LPS stamps and I have ALL the digital images, so I like to use this challenge to use them!! GO me!hehe!! Anywho, for today's card, I used this weeks challenge, which was a color challenge(LPSC09). The challenge was to use Riding Hood Red, Kraft and Chocolate Chip. I used my Katie Swing digital image and colored her in with Copics. The DP is from the Slumber Party DSP from SU(thanks Officer Jacque!!). I used both the Bouquet and Latte Buttons from SU, all of which have some linen thread put through them. The ribbons are both SU, but the spiral clip is from Creative Express. My sentiment was stamped directly on the DP with Memento Rich Cocoa. The sentiment is from the LPS set, Bound By the Heart. I love this set because you can fill in the blank with whoever you are giving it too(ie. Mom, Dad, Mother, Father...).

Well that is it for me now!! More to come later!!!

The Final Day!!

My blog is gonna be pretty busy today, so be sure to keep checking back for posts!!(There should be 4, yikes, I know-I promise not to make a habit of it, but it's release time baby!!!)

Today is the final day of the There She Goes pre-release blog hops!! Today's hop started at Jessica's blog again, and after you get done here, you need to go to Joanne's blog to continue on the hop. Three new sets are being released on April 1st, and they are SO CUTE!! Want a chance to win one of the new sets? I thought so!! Just be sure to comment on all the Trendsetters blogs and then go back to Jessica's blog and put your name in the Mr. Linky box provided!!

Today's peek is of the new set, Tastes Like Chicken...it is HYSTERICAL!! Maybe it is the country/small town girl in me that can really appreciate this set, but man I LOVE it!! When I saw this image, I started crackin up. For those of you that have never been in a rural area, I have seen toilets as planters, tires, and actual bed frames sticking up out of the ground...people are nuts, what can I say. I decided to use the toilet image for that very reason! I stamped the toilet on Gina K. White with Memento Tuxedo Black ink and colored it in with my Copic markers. The image was then cut and embossed with my Cuttlebug and Circle nesties. I then layered it with Kiwi Kiss, Baja Breeze, and Pretty in Pink. The color combo was this past week's SCS color challenge hosted by my pal, and fellow Trendsetter, Jodi- blame her!! For the base and center panel, I used some Walk in The Park DSP-seriously YUUMMMMYYYY!! The white brads are from American Crafts and the ribbon is from SU. I punched my sentiment out with my Scalloped Oval punch and large oval punch. The sketch is actually from this week's Featured Stamper, JustPaintingAround...super talented chick!!

Well, that is it for me for now...like I said before, lots goin' on 'round here today, ya know!!hehe

For my card today, I used the new Tweeterpated set to make a baby card for some friends of mine that just had a baby girl!! I stamped the sentiment, dotted swirls and flowers with Memento Tuxedo Black on Gina K. white card stock. I used my Copics to color the flowers(there are actually two of them there connected by a brad). The sketch is this weeks Weekend Sketch Challenge, designed by my girl Charmaine. I used my Cuttlebug and Nestabilities to cut it and it's Certainly Celery layer. The other color of card stock is Regal Rose, and the DP is from the Nana's Nursery Baby Girl pack. My ribbon is from SU, as well as the brads. I added some Icicle Stickles to the dots, though now I wish I hadn't have...oh well!! Well that is it for me now, off to Joanne's blog!!

From my blog, you will be hopping to Joanne's blog. Three new sets will be released on the first, so we will be having a blog hop for the next three days.

The colors on this card are Pink Pirouette, So Saffron and Bravo Burgundy. The pink ribbon is from May Arts and the Vanilla taffeta is from SU.

Happy Friday!!

Happy Friday!!! Today is my day of the week to post something Prettie for ya, but before I do that, here is some info you need to know!!

Paper Pretties is having a release on April 1st so that means it is time for another CUTIE PIE CONTEST!!! All you have to do to enter is upload a card you have made using Paper Pretties stamps to the Cutie Pie Contest gallery over at the Paper Pretties website. Entries must be in by no later than 8pmCST on March 31st to be considered for the prize. Besides getting to call yourself a CutiePie, you will also receive all the new stamps that are released on the 1st!! Good luck!!

Okay, now that I have that over with, here is my share for today!! It is actually a set of 3x3 cards and a box to hold them. I made them for the last Prettie party and just haven't had a chance to share them yet. I used the April Stamp of the Month, Hola Chica, and paired her with some Bella Rose DSP. I made the box and cards using a template that I found on SCS. All accessories and paper came from SU, except for the white which is from Gina K. You have until midnight on the 31st to get signed up for the Stamp of the Month Club and get Hola Chica mailed to you before she is released.

Thanks for stopping by, have a great day!!

Spring Sprouts

Sadly, while I was away for a little bit, I missed the mid month release at My Favorite Things. This month we released two new sets from a BRAND new artist. The new artist is Sara Williams, and she is TOTALLY talented and fabulous!! Her two new sets, Funky Flowers and Spring Sprouts, are part of the MFT Presents line and are so CUTE!! For my card, I used the new Spring Sprouts set. I stamped two of each of the flowers that I used from this set. For the larger two, I stamped them twice and then popped up the flower. I colored them all with my Copics and then added a glitter dot to their centers. The colors are from this weeks Color Challenge, hosted by my girl Jodi, and the sketch is this weeks MFT Sketch(74). My sentiment is from the Essential Sentiments set from MFT. The colors on my card are Pretty in Pink, Baja Breeze, and Kiwi Kiss. The DP is from SU, along with my two ribbons. The spiral clip is from Spare Parts and the brads are from American Crafts. Well, that is it for me now..busy busy busy with new release samples so stay tuned!!

Prettie Wednesday- Bookmark

Two weeks ago, Christi challenged the Prettie Girls to make a bookmark. For mine, I used my favorite Parisian Breeze DSP and some Chocolate Chip cardstock. I stamped my image from Simply Special twice, once on Gina K. white and once on more of the DSP. I paper pieced the watering can and then colored the rest of the image with my Copics. I did some piercings, added some brads from American Crafts, and used some Valet Ribbon Originals for the top. The images were stamped with Memento Tuxedo Black.
Want to play along? All you have to do is make your bookmark and leave a link on any one of the Prettie Girls blogs so that we can all see your work. Here is a list of the other girls participating!! Thanks so much for stopping by and have a great day!!

Happy Birthday Frances!!

Hoot! It's a Birthday Blog Hop Prettie Girl style... with a dash of owl-y goodness tossed in for fun! The amazingly talented Frances is celebrating a birthday today and the Prettie Girls just had to throw another virtual party! The hop started at Jacque's so if you didn't start from there you might be missing out on some of the fun! :) When you reach the end of the hop make sure and leave a little love for Frances wishing her a Happy Birthday! The next stop on the blog hop is Jackie R's blog..so be sure to go there next!!

Since Frances LOVES owls, we all decided to try to incorporate owls into our cards. I used my Flutterby image, which I stamped on Gina K. White with Memento Tuxedo Black ink. I then paper pieced the dress with some Good Morning Sunshine DSP. The flower and pearls were colored in with my white gel pen. The rest of the image was colored in with my Copic markers. The sketch is from this past week's SCS sketch challenge. My cute little owl is from the My Favorite Things set, We're Not Scared...cute right? I did a TON of paper piercing and added lots of embellishments, all of which are from SU. The sentiment is from the Paper Pretties set, Bugs and Fishes. It was punched out with my word window punch. W

Well, that is it for me now. Be sure to head to Jackie's Blog for the next stop on the hop!!

Not For the Faint of Heart...

Did you know that There She Goes is having a Changing of the Seasons sale? Here are the details taken from Jessica's blog!!

Everyone loves a sale and starting this month There She Goes will be having a Changing Of The Seasons sale! The sale will be from Friday the 20th (the first day of spring!) - Tuesday the 24th. There are 4 stamp sets that are each 15% off! This season's sale sets are-Crafty Taglines $12.75 (reg. $15.00)LOL Taglines $18.70Welcome Home $18.70Special Delivery $12.75 (reg. $15.00)

I decided to use the LOL Taglines set so that I could tempt you to go shopping, is it working?? Honestly, for this sentiment alone, the stamp set is worth whatever you have to pay for it...if you ask me, LOL. You can see why I said not for the faint of heart though, right? I just didn't want to scare anyone off.hehe. I stamped the muffin three times on Gina K. White and then colored the tops in with my Copics. The bottoms were paper pieced with some Washington Apple DSP. I then added some Crystal Effects to the tops to make them look yummier! I then used my 1 1/4in square punch and my scalloped square punch to make the three image panels. The sketch is Beate's Weekend Sketch Challenge. I added some SO Saffron Poly Twill ribbon as well as some Riding Hood Red taffeta. The panel behind the images was made using my Scalloped edge punch from Su and some more Washington Apple DSP. Isn't that sentiment priceless!!

That is it for me now..thanks for stopping by!!

My First Little Paper Shop

Isn't this image SUPAH cute!! It is one of the new digital stamps(ETA: I got a question from someone that didn't have a way to directly reply to them...she asked if a digital stamp could only be used once...the answer is no. You buy it, download it, save it your computer and it is yours forever!!) from the Little Paper Shop. I paired it with a sentiment from the new Blessings set that was released on the 17th. I used this past Monday's Mojo Monday sketch for my card as well. The image was printed three times, twice on Gina K. White and once on some Sweet Always DSP. I paper pieced the egg and then colored the rest with my Copics. The hands were cut out of the third image and added on top of the egg. The end of the image panel, as well as it's Pretty in Pink and Regal Rose layers were rounded using my Large Oval punch. I added a spiral clip with some Pretty in Pink taffeta on it, as well as some white satin ribbon from SU. The brads are also from SU. This card also works for the Little Paper Shop blog challenge(LPSC08), to make a monochromatic card.
Well, that is it for me now!! Thanks for stopping by and have a great day!!
