MFTWSC3- I Admire You

It is time for another My Favorite Things Wednesday Stamp Club challenge, and if you haven't heard the news, we have went to a weekly sketch challenge!! I LOVE SKETCHES!! This week's sketch kicked my butt...or maybe it's this monster cold that has grabbed a hold of me!

For this week's challenge, I used the new Pure Innocence- Carnation set. She was stamped on an MFT Perfect Panel, and then colored with my Copics. I should have made the card base bigger, to accomodate her big ol' flower...but oh well!! My card stock colors are Bashful Blue, So Saffron, and Certainly Celery. I used some SU Delicate Dots DP, along with SU ribbons, Michael's brads, and a spiral clip.
Well, that is it for me for now! Thanks for stopping by!! Be sure to head to Kim's blog to see the list of other designers playing along today!! For all the details, head to the MFT Forum on Splitcoast Stampers.

I started my card with this week's Sweet Stop Sketch challenge. My image was stamped on an MFT Perfect Panel, and then colored with my Copics. I paper pieced her boots, because rain boots should be FUN!! I then layered my image with Summer Sun, Pacific Point, and Hot Fudge. The DP I used is from the Good Morning Sunshine DP pack. My ribbons are from SU, and my brads are both from Michael's(the large and small). My brown DP layer was run through my Cuttlebug with the Swirls embossing folder.

For the inside I used more of the dp, and a piece of Hot Fudge card stock, cut out with my Little Open Scalloped Strip Die-namic. I stamped my image, and the sentiment...a little crooked, but I like it.

Well, that is it for me for now!! Thanks for stopping by and have an AMAZING day!! Be sure to hop on over to KIM'S BLOG to see a list of other designers who have peeks for you today!!

Welcome Baby- Verve Sketch

I am avoiding what I am ACTUALLY supposed to be doing, so I decided to play in one of the Viva La Verve sketch challenges from the SCS Verve Stamps forum.

I organized some paper today, and saw this paper in my stash, so I decided to use it. I love the colors. I used Pretty in Pink and Tempting Turquoise. My image is from the Verve set, Practically Perfect. I colored my bunny with Copics. My white panels are actually one of the MFT Die-namics, Framed Greetings, cut in half.

My brads are from Michael's, and my ribbon is from MFT.
Well, that is it for me for now!! Thanks for stopping by!!

Stampbook Saturday- Friends

Here's my post from the There She Goes blog...fun stuff!!


Hey, it's me, Jessie...the least scrapbookie Trendsetter here to show you just how untalented I am at Scrapbooking..LOL!! No really, I really do love making pages, I'm just NEVER do it!! This week was supposed to be Nat's Saturday, but she had some things come up...so I am filling in...especially since Jess filled in for me last week!!

I started out with my inspiration photo, a past Dollar Find Friday post by the ever so talented, and amazingly AWESOME, Jodi. She made this altered frame, and I LOVE it.

I drew my inspiration from the shape, layout, colors, and the flowers. I also loved the bling she put around the center. I drew my inspiration from that.

This picture is me and one of my DEAREST friends, Kristy. We were at our friend Rachel's wedding in Ohio. The marriage, has since been forgotten, but the wedding will NEVER be. We had SO MUCH FUN!! Oh, and that's koolaid in that glass, honest. HEHE!! I used the Flowers of Happiness, and Friendship Flowers sets from There She Goes.
Well, that is it for me for now!! Have a great day!!

The only rule is that you can only use stamps that are 6months old or older, or haven't been used for at least 6 months. Basically, this is a use what you have challenge!! Thanks so much to all that have been participating...it means the world to me!!

For my card today, I pulled out my first ever cling mount stamp set from Whipper Snapper Designs, called Posies For You. It was designed my the MEGA talented Anna Wight, and as soon as I saw it, I was in love. I have QUITE the collection of her sets...and I NEVER get to them, so be prepared to get to see them a LOT on Fridays!! I stamped my flower, butterfly, and sentiment all on an MFT Perfect Panel. I then colored them with my Copics. The cardstock colors I used are Celery, Curry and Baja from SU. I then paired them with some Early Bird DP from Cosmo Cricket. My ribbons are from SU, and my brads are from Michael's. My sketch is this week's Mojo Monday sketch.

SSSC99 Friendship

I don't know about you all, depending on where you are located, but I am TIRED of winter!! Snow, ice, cold....bleeeech!!! I really can't wait until Spring is here....winter is just depressing. I will say, though, the only good thing about Winter are SUPER cute stamp sets such as THIS one!! Wonderful Winter Wishes from There She Goes is one of the most ADORABLE stamp sets...like, ever. LOVE IT!

For my card, I started with this week's Sweet Sunday Sketch Challenge from Karen's blog. I started by stamping my image on an MFT Perfect Panel, and then I colored it with my Copics. She was then layered with Lavender Moon, Plum Pudding and Baja Breeze card stock. I used Cosmo Cricket Mitten Weather paper, as well. My ribbon is from PTI, and my brads are from Michael's. I used a Ribbon Slide Nestability for my sentiment panel. For my border, which I kinda covered up completely, I used the Small Scalloped Die-namic, and the Dainty Dots Border Die-namic, but like I said...I kinda covered up the scallops. Silly girl.
Well, that is it for me for now! Thanks for stopping by and have a great day!
