For my card tonight, I used this GORGEOUS flower from the Bloom set...and believe me, it is GORGEOUS!! I stamped the image on an MFT Perfect Panel, and then colored it in with my Copic markers. It was then cut out, along with it's Summer Sun and Kiwi Kiss layers, with my Cuttlebug and Circle Nesties. I added a spiral clip with White Satin Ribbon from SU. The brads are from Creative Express. The sentiment was done with my SU punches and the DP is from the Good Morning Sunshine DSP pack. I used this week's Weekend Sketch Challenge for my inspiration.

Prettie Friday

Hi all, it has been a hectic two days, so this post is gonna be short and sweet. I needed a gift tag for a present I was giving my nieces, so I made a cute little ATC using the Paper Pretties set, Soakin Up The Sun. I colored my image with my Copics. The DP is from the SU pack, Pink Flamingo. My circles were punched out using my SU circle punches and my ribbon is also from SU.

See, I told you, short and sweet!! Have a great day!!

It's a Bella Blog HOPAROO!!

Welcome to the Birthday Blog Skip, Hop & Dance sponsored by Stamping Bella! If you've just happened upon my blog, you can CLICK HERE to start from the beginning at Bloggabella.

I signed up for this hop awhile back, and I knew it was coming up....but for some reason I kept thinking Friday Friday Friday! Well, I had PLANNED to make my card last night, but that didn't happen due to some health issues in my family. Everything is okay, but it was a long stressful night and I didn't feel like stamping when it came time for it . So, as not to miss the hop, or be a party pooper, or break the chain, here is a card I made awhile back with the super cute Latte Bella. Most of you will probably be new to my blog, so you won't have seen it anyway-hopefully!! I am sorry for slacking, and when I get home, I think I will make a card and update this post, or post a new one...don't know. But I will make something new I PROMISE!!




Thanks so much for stopping by! Now it's time to hop on over to http://www.davisfamilydoodles.blogspot.com/!! Have a great day!
How about a prize? In addition to the fabulous eye candy, we have decided to hide a prize somewhere along the hop! One pre-selected blogger will draw a random winner from the comments on her post, and the winner will receive a $40 Gift Voucher to Stamping Bella!!! The fun part is...we're not telling you who it is! So as you hop, make sure you leave comments on every post so you have a chance to win!! We will announce the winner on Monday in the Splitcoast forum. MWAH!If there is a mistake here, please let me know so I can fix it! Thanks to everyone who is playing with us!

Owl Be There...

It's time again for my FAVORITE sketch challenge, the MFT sketch challenge!! This week's sketch was drawn up by the UBER talented Cindy Haffner!! For more details on this challenge, and this week's My Favorite Challenge(paper piecing), check out the new weekly challenge thread in the MFT member forum. It will be stickied up at the top of the forum, and as soon as I can edit this post, I will directly link it!! Now onto my card!! For my card today I used my new Razzleberry Lemonade DSP from SU. I paired it with Kiwi Kiss(I am gonna miss this one), Melon Mambo, and Rich Razzleberry. The ribbon is also new from SU. My image is from the Owls and Bluebells set by Stephanie Fizer. It is part of the MFT Presents line. I stamped it on an MFT perfect panel, and then colored it in with my Copics. It was then cut out, along with it's layers, with my Cuttlebug and Oval Nesties. I did a bunch of piercing, and it was done!!

That is it for me now, be sure to check out the weekly challenge thread at MFT for more details and have a great day!!

Prettie Wednesday- Animals

Well, two weeks ago, Julie(jmasse), challenged the Prettie Girls, and all of YOU, to make a card using your favorite animal on the front. I don't really have a favorite animal, but I have a favorite animal stamp from Paper Pretties- Surf's Up!! I decided to knock out a few other challenges with this card so the color combo was yesterday's SCS color challenge-Pacific Point, Summer Sun and Tangerine Tango, and this week's Mojo Monday sketch. I started by stamping my Surf's Up image on an MFT Perfect Panel. I then colored it in with my Copics, except the surfboard which was paper pieced with some Good Morning Sunshine DSP. I used more of the DP for the base, SU brads and ribbon, and did a bunch of piercing. The sentiment was punched out using my new Modern Label punch from SU. If you can't tell, Snowflake was stamped, colored and cut out separately and then popped up.
Well, that is it for me for now!! Thanks for stopping by and have a great day!! Be sure to check out the other Pretties and see what they have been up to!

Thank You!!

Here is a card I made for the last There She Goes release and TOTALLY forgot to share...silly girl!! I LOVE this new set from There She Goes, Acts of Kindness, but as you may or may not know I struggle with solid images. I have the hardest time using them, and because I never do use them, when I do...it always feels forced. With that said, this card was SUPER easy for me and I LOVE the way it turned out! The card base is 3x6. I stamped the leafy branches from the set with Chocolate Chip ink directly onto some Bella Birds DSP from SU. I then stamped the flowers separately with Bashful Blue ink and then cut them out. To attach them to the panel, I used some silver brads from Creative Express. I directly stamped the sentiment onto the DP panel as well. The ribbon is Chocolate Chip taffeta from SU, and the other color besides Chocolate and Bashful is So Saffron.

Well, that is it for me now!! Wish me luck today...the A/C was broken at work yesterday and the PO I work in is in a VERY old block building. By the time I left last night, it was 90 INSIDE the PO. It was like spending the day in your own personal sauna!! YUKK!! The repairmen are SUPPOSED to be there first thing today with a replacement....but I am not holding my breath!! Thanks for stopping by and have a great day!!

Little Paper Shop Monday Challenge

Hello everyone and welcome to another Little Paper Shop Monday Challenge!!! Today's challenge is a sketch challenge, so be sure to head over to the LPS blog to participate!! Wanna play along? Just make a card and upload it to your chosen gallery using the keyword LPSC21. A winner will be chosen from the entries and that winner will receive 2 free Digital Images of their choice.

For my card I stamped my Katie Cupcake image on an MFT Perfect Panel with Memento Tuxedo Black ink. I then stamped it on two different pieces of Delicate Dots DSP. and used those to paper piece her dress, hair bows, and the base of the cupcake. I used my Copics to color the rest of the image. My ribbon and brads are from SU. The colors on this card are SO Saffron, Bashful Blue, and Certainly Celery.

Well, that is it for me now, thanks for stopping by and have a great day!!

FS124 CASEing Christy

Good morning everyone, and Happy Father's Day!! I hope you are all having a wonderful day!! I got up this morning and decided to play in the Featured Stamper challenge on SCS. Today's FS is Christy S. She has a wonderful gallery and a super fun blog. I chose this card of her's to CASE and I changed the image, although I left it a truck, the colors, used DP instead of solid color blocks, and added layers and piercing. I used my Classic Pickups set from SU. I paired it with some Prestwick DSP and Brocade Blue and Garden Green CS. The Ribbon is also from SU. The image was stamped with Memento Tuxedo Black ink and then colored it with my Copic markers. I am giving this card to my Grandpa today for Father's Day.
This is the first SUO card I have done in AGES and I have MISSED my SU stamps dearly!! I keep wishing my life will go back to normal soon, and I hope that it does...until then I will do the best I can to show love to all my stamps!! Thanks for stopping by and have a great day!
