Crazy 4 Challenges- Valentine!!

It's Saturday(ish), so it is time for another Crazy 4 Challenges challenge. This week, Robin challenged us to make a Valentine card/project for a special someone. Since it is the first saturday of the month, our first sponsor for February is The {Stamps} of Life by Stephanie Barnard. Being the first Challenge of the Month, this is our Prize Challenge, which has been donated by The {Stamps} of Life by Stephanie Barnard. One lucky person will be randomly chosen to win either 2 clear sets per winner OR 5 digital sets ..... so time to start creating! We will announce the winner with next weeks challenge post. Be sure to head to the C4C blog for more details, and to get entered.

For my card, I used the super cute new Chemistry set from There She Goes. I started by stamping my image on an MFT Perfect Panel, and then I colored it in with my Copics. The image was cut out using my Cuttlebug and Circle Nesties, then layered using Regal Rose, Taken With Teal, and Chocolate Chip. My ribbons are from SU, my brads are from Michael's(Recollections), and my spiral clips were purchased online. My edge punch is from Martha Stewart, also purchased at Michael's.
Well, that is it for me now!! Be sure to head on over to the C4C blog to see what the other girls have cooked up for you!!

Hoppin' With My Favorite Things

Hello everyone and welcome to this month's My Favorite Things Blog Hop!! As always, this month's hop started at Kim's Blog. If you didn't get started there, head on back to get started!! If you are here now, you should have come from Christina's Blog!! Today, I am featuring the new Flopsey set-Basket Full o' Flopsey. He sells for $9.00 and is now currently available, so better get to shopping, after the hop of course!! I have a weakness for Flopsey's big ears, so I couldn't WAIT to get this little cutie pie inky, again!!

For my card, Flopsey was stamped on an MFT Perfect Panel, and then colored in with my Copics. I then layered his big eared little butt with Regal Rose, So Saffron, and Old Olive. For my card today, I decided to use the Easter eggs, but the set also comes with hearts(which I showed the other day, and flowers). Isn't he a CUTIE pie!! I paired him with my Georgia Peach DSP from SU. All my accessories, except the spiral clip came from there as well.

For the inside, I used the same colors and DP, but I stamped a row of the eggs and colored them in with my Copics. I am LOVING the fact that I am FINALLY finishing the inside of my cards. I never used to, and the fact that they are basically ready to mail is VERY appealing to me!!
Well, that is it for me now!! The next stop on the hop is CINDY'S BLOG!! I am POSITIVE she has something spectacular that will wow you, so enjoy!! Thanks for stopping by and have a great time on the hop!!

MFTeaser- A Twisted Dance

Today the girls at MFT are showing you teaser's using three of the FABULOUS new sets coming from My Favorite Things. These sets are: Dance The Night Away(Amanda Baird), Clearly Sentimental About Emerson, and Twisted Threesome. If you aren't familiar with the MFT Twisted Sentiments series, you should be!! They are not for the faint of heart, though!! Today, I decided to combine the new Dance the Night Away and Twisted Threesome set.

For my card, I started by stamping my girl on an MFT Perfect Panel, and then colored her with my Copics. She was then layered with Real Red and Basic Black. My DP is from the SU Rockabilly pack(retired). All my ribbons are from SU, as well as the brads. My clips were bought online. I used the "men" and "suck" stamps from the Twisted Set, and then punched them out using SU punches.

For the inside, I used more of the ribbon and paper, and a sentiment from each set. This card is for a friend of mine who just split with her husband. She couldn't be happier, and I think she will love this card. Girl, if you are reading this, it's on it's way!! LOL!!
Well, that is it for me now!! Head on over to Kim's Blog to see who else is going to be teasing you with these SUPER fabulous sets today!! Have fun!!

Crazy 4 Challenges- Lollipops!!

Hey everyone, and welcome to another Crazy 4 Challenges challenge!! This week's challenge was hosted by the SUPAH talented Lori, and did I mention how darn sweet she is?? Her challenge was to make a card using a lollipop. Since this month's sponsor is The Greeting Farm, I decided to use the super cute Lolli Anya stamp. She is SO CUTE!!

I stamped her on an MFT Perfect Panel and then colored her with my Copics. I had originally made this card for LAST week's challenge, then realized that I needed a lollipop card for this week, so it is ALL pink again!! I used Pretty in Pink, Regal Rose, and Rose Red. My white is from Gina K., and the DP is retired SU. All my ribbons are from SU, as well as my punches, and the spiral clips were bought online. My brads came from Michael's.
Well, that is it for me now!! Be sure to head to the C4C blog to see what the other girls have created, and check out the challenge!! Have a great day!!
