Happy Spring....

I don't know about you, but if Spring doesn't get here soon, I might go crazy!! Of course, if you don't like the weather, wait a minute and it will change....at least here in Southern Illinois. What's funny is the fact that when I moved here, and I heard people say that, I didn't really understand what they meant. Now, after living here awhile, I get it!! Today it was rainy and crazy foggy....my drive home from work was VERY interesting. It looks like the setting to a scary movie out...fun!! NOT!!

My card today is for this week's sketch challenge on my friend Mercy's blog. Mercy is the most amazing person and has the most AWESOME sense of humor. I swear from the minute I get around her, Pam and Jessica I am LAUGHING non stop. I used the new My Basket of Eggs(currently out of stock) stamp from My Favorite Things. It is part of the Pure Innocence line, which I love. The images are so cute and BEYOND fun to color!! The image was stamped on an MFT Perfect Panel and colored with my Copics. My DP and cardstock, as well as my ribbon and brads, are all from SU.
Well, that is it for me now! Thanks for stopping by and have a great day!!

I stamped my image on an MFT Perfect Panel and then colored it with my Copics. I then layered it with Mellow Moss and Always Artichoke.

Dollar Find Friday

Here is my post from the There She Goes blog from today!! I just copy and pasted it here, but if you would like to see the original, head on over to the There She Goes blog!!

Hey everyone!! I am back with this week's Dollar Find Friday post. As you all know, I am NOT a fan of altering....well, you may not all know that, but now you do, so for my project, I try to find stuff that isn't too challenging....so I don't scare myself, LOL.

For this week's project, I decided to make a shadow box wall hanging. I picked up the frame at the Dollar Tree for, you guessed it, a dollar! I started by stamping several images from the Loads of Fun set, coloring them with my Copics, and then cutting them out. I then stamped several of the clothespins and colored and cut them out as well. Crazy right? Then, I used glue dots to attach them to my "clothesline", which is hemp twine from SU. I then used more glue dots to attach the line to the insides of the frame.

My background was made by attaching a piece of Slumber Party DSP from SU to the back of the frame. I stamped my sentiment on it before attaching it, and added some socks as a little extra something.


Pretty simple, but I LOVE it...and I can't wait to hang it on my wall, if I ever get my own place!!

Thanks for stopping by!! Hope to see you tonight at the Friday Night Chat !!

Dirty Laundry...

Hey everyone!! Sorry I didn't post yesterday, I was doing so good too!!LOL!! I am in a huge hurry today, so this is gonna be short and sweet!


This is my card for this week's sketch challenge on my girl Mercy's blog!! I used my current favorite set from There She Goes, Loads of Fun. The image was colored with my Copics and then then layered with Bashful Blue, So Saffron, and Riding Hood Red. My DP is Washington Apple, my ribbons are from SU, and my brads are as well. I got my spiral clips online....will have to add a link later.

Friends With Stamps...

Welcome back!! It is my week to be featured on the There She Goes blog again this week, and for today, I have challenged you and all my fellow DT members to make a card or project using at least three different embellishments. It can be any three that you choose, and you can use as many of each as you want...but you must have three and no more!! I of COURSE chose my three favorites...Brads, Ribbon, and Spiral Clips. Yayy!!!

For my card, I started by stamping my stack of paper from the Craftier Taglines set on an MFT Perfect Panel. I then colored it with my Copics and cut it out using my Cuttlebug and circle Nesties. My CS is from SU, and is Kiwi Kiss, Cameo Coral and So Saffron. The DP is from SU as well, but is retired. I used SU brads, a spiral clip or two, and some SU ribbon. I LOVE this sentiment, and when I saw last Monday's Mojo Sketch, I knew that I had to use it!!
Well, that is it for me now!! Be sure to check out the TSG blog for all the challenge details, and to play along!! Can't wait to see what you all create!!

Tweet This....

So, when I saw this sentiment in the new Birdie Wishes stamp set from There She Goes....I giggled uncontrollably. Not that I have anything against Twitter, per say, but I have just never gotten into it...updating my Facebook status and blog pretty much occupy all my time. I do, however, have a lot of friends that "tweet", and I have been known to tell them, in jest of course, to "tweet this", hehehehe. For all of you that have heard that from me, this card is for you!! LOL!!!

I started by using Mercy's Sketch from Tuesday. I stamped my branch with Rich Cocoa Memento Ink on an MFT Perfect Panel, and then, I cut it, and it's layers (Chocolate Chip, Regal Rose, and Pumpkin Pie) out with my Cuttlebug and Circle Nesties. The bird was then stamped separately and popped up. I stamped the bird with Regal Rose ink, and it's beak with Pumpkin Pie. My ribbons are all from SU, and my DP is as well(Sweet Always).
Well, that is it for me!! Have a great day!!

Crazy 4 Challenges- Birthday!!

Hey everyone, and welcome to this week's Crazy 4 Challenges challenge. This week, Lori, challenged us to make a birthday card---since I am ALWAYS late with these, the sentiment on mine is PERFECT.

I decided to use my Elegant Artsy Swirls set from Innovative Stamp Creations. They are our beginning of the month sponsor on the C4C blog. I stamped my image on a piece of Vanilla cardstock with Rich Cocoa Memento Ink, and then I sponged Bravo Burgundy on the edges to soften them. My DP(Parisian Summer) and CS(Bravo Burgundy, Pink Pirouette, and Very Vanilla) are all from SU, and the ribbon is from May Arts. My sentiment panel was created using all SU punches, and the brads are from SU as well.
Well, that is it for me now!! Be sure to head over to the C4C blog to see what the other girls have created for this challenge.
