That is one BIG Egg!!

I have loved this stamp from My Favorite Things since I first saw it, so I wanted to use it this year on my Easter cards. Life has DEFINITELY gotten in the way and I still haven't even got mine mailed out yet, but better late than never right?!! For this car, I used this week's MFT sketch, but I had to flip it to make it work. The image was stamped with Memento Tuxedo Black and then colored with my Copics. I used the free SAB DSP pack for my DP. All the accessories are from SU, except for the spiral clips. My sentiment was stamped on Gina K. White as well and then punched out with my 1 1/4in punch. I always feel so sorry for that bottom chick...it sure is carrying a heavy load!! Well, that is it for me now, be sure to check out this weeks sketch in the MFT member forum!!

Eastern Sketch/Color Challenge

This week's color challenge on SCS was to use Close To Cocoa, Bashful Blue and So Saffron. I paired it with Wednesday's sketch and one of my favorite SU sets, Eastern Influences. I stamped the flower twice with Memento Tuxedo Brown ink and then colored it in with my Copics. The flower on the second one was cut out and popped up. The DSP is from the SU Bella Birds pack. The brads and ribbon are all SU too, but of course...the spiral clips aren't!! Hate to blog and run, but I am up WAY to late and I need to get my butt to bed!! Thanks for looking and have a great day!!

Prettie Wednesday- Jules Sketch!!

Two weeks ago, Julie challenged the rest of the Prettie Girls to make a card or project using a sketch that she had drawn up for the Stamp New England gathering. I decided to use the May Stamp of the Month for my card. This is Splish Splash Sophia, and you have until April 3oth at midnight to get signed up and have her mailed to you before she is available to the public. I used some Good Morning Sunshine DSP for my card...doesn't it look like bubbles? I think so!! I paired it with Gina K. White and Pacific Point. The image was stamped out and then colored with my Copics. I added some silver brads and a spiral clip with some Pacific Point ribbon on it. The edges were scalloped using my SU scalloped edge punch!!

So, have you seen the big surprise release over at Paper Pretties?? Christie released our very own stamp storage binders this past Wednesday, and they are amazing!! Be sure to check them out!!

Tweeterpated Sketch!!

Good News all you fellow There She Goes lovers....Holly has posted this month's sketch over at Paper Craft Planet, and it is a GREAT one!! I had never played along before, so I decided that there was no time like the present, lol!! I used my new Tweeterpated set too, yayy me!! I stamped the Chick with Memento Tuxedo Black on Gina K. White and colored it in with my Copics. The shell, beak and wing were all stamped separately and then cut out and glued on top of the chick. I layered it with Cool Caribbean and Pumpkin Pie. The DP is from My Mind's Eye..love this stuff!! All the accessories are from SU, except for the spiral clip. If you decide to play along, be sure to use the keyword: TSGAPRSC, when uploading your cards!!

Little Paper Shop Sketch

I am LOVING the Little Paper Shop challenges posted every Monday on the LPS blog, and I think there is a prize this week since it is their anniversary month, so woohoo!! I don't know about you, but I like to win free stuff, LOL!! For my card, I followed the sketch using my Chick in Egg digital stamp. I paired it with the sentiment from Blessings. The DP is from Imaginesce and is part of the Twitterpated line. I added a spiral clip with some Celery ribbon, and some Celery brads to the top. The other ribbon is red gingham from SU and some white that was sent to me from my girl Julie!! I colored the image with my Copics. The colors on this card are Certainly Celery and Real Red.
Well, that is it for me for now, thanks for stopping by again!!

Who's That Girl Monday!!

It has been FOREVER since I was able to play in a Who's That Girl Monday challenge from the My Favorite Things member company forum on SCS, and I am super excited to finally get back to them!! This weeks challenge is to use You Take The Cake and embossing. I stamped my Who's That Girl holding the cake on Gina K. white with Memento Tuxedo Black ink. I then colored it in with my Copics and layered it with So Saffron, Cameo Coral, and Kiwi Kiss. The DP is from the Walk in the Park pack from SU. I followed Jen's SFYTT from this weekend too. The embellishments are all from SU as well, except my spiral clip. The sentiment was embossed with Black Embossing Powder.

Now, for some MFT news!!

Flopsey Sketch

Isn't this new Flopsey with Flowers so CUTE!! It was released this past Wednesday by My Favorite Things and it is ADORABLE!! I didn't have it in time to preview with the release, so as soon as I got it, I decided it would be the first stamp I used from the new releases. I decided to use it with this weeks MFT Sketch Challenge. I stamped Flopsey on Gina K. White with Memento Tuxedo Black ink. He was then colored with my Copics and cut out. I popped him up on another piece of Gina K. White and layered that with Riding Hood Red and Kiwi Kiss cardstock. The base is the same colors, but the white was run through my Cuttlebug with the Swiss Dots folder. The DP is from the SU Bella Rose pack. My sentiment was stamped on Gina K. white also and then punched out using my SU large oval punch. I then layered it on my circles that were punched out with my SU circle punches. The brads and ribbon are both from SU.
Have you been keeping up with the MFT Idol competition? We are down to 7 and let me tell you, the competition is FIERCE!! Seriously, I have a real fear that one or more of these girls are going to steal my spot...they are SERIOUSLY rockin' the competition!! Each week there is a voting poll on SCS in the Member Company forum, so be sure to go vote!! The next time to vote is April 7th at 10pmEST. Good luck to all the remaining contestants!!

Inspirational Cupcakes

Today's Inspiration Challenge, was to chose something from the French Bull website to be inspired by. I chose these plates, mainly because I loved the colors and the patterns. Since I haven't had hardly any stamping time this week, I decided to pair this challenge with this week's Cupcake Sketch and the Limited Supplies challenge. I stamped my SUPAH cute image from the Taylored Expressions Sweet Spring set on Gina K. White with Memento Tuxedo Black ink. I then colored it in with my Copic markers and cut and embossed it with my Cuttlebug and Circle Nesties. The DP is from the Pink Flamingo DSP from SU. My one CS color, as per the LSC, is Tempting Turquoise. I used my three embellishments-brads, ribbons, and spiral clips. Well, that is it for me now!! I need to get to bed or I am not going to be able to get up in the morning!!Thanks for stopping by!!

Here are some more RAK's that I have received!!! I hope to do some stamping tonight after work, wish me luck!! These are all from some of my fellow Prettie Girls...if you notice, there is an "adhesive" theme. I know that they did it on purpose, but I can't tell you how TRULY symbolic it is to me. You girls are the glue that holds me together...I love you guys!!

Thanks again for stopping by!!

Yesterday, I went to the eye doctor to get my eyes dilated....ya, no stamping for me, lol!! I really needed to get some stuff done tonight, but I just can't see all that well still, so I am going to show you part of the MASSIVE amount of RAK's I have received over the last few weeks. During my difficult time right now, I really NEEDED the support and love that all my friends from the stamping world have shown. I have been SHOWERED with gifts and card full of love and kind words. To each and everyone of you, you have NO IDEA what that means to me. You truly make me proud to call myself a stamper. I promise to share more later about the situation...promise!
