There She Goes: Dance/Beautiful Spring BHC

Hey everyone, and welcome to this month's first There She Goes Blog Hop Release challenge!! This month we are releasing two full size, and three mini sets. Today, I have two of the mini sets to show you, but first I wanted to share some news with you, and tell you about the challenge. First, today we are saying goodbye to a few of our fellow Trendsetters. Maki, Dawn, Gretchen, Jackie, Julie, and Wendy are all leaving the team, and I am SO SAD!! I know I haven't been around much, and I can't say that I know all of them as well as I would like to, but I have enjoyed working with them and seeing their work each week. You will all be sorely missed.

Now, would you like to have a chance to win one of these sets? I thought you would!! Just be sure to go through the entire hop starting at Jessica's Blog. Leave a comment there, and then on each one of the participating Trendsetters blog's along the way. When you are done, head back to the There She Goes blog and enter your name in the Mr. Linky box. A winner will be chosen on release day(Saturday, February 27th). Now, onto my cards!!

My first card was made using the new Dance mini set. It is a GORGEOUS mini set, if you ask me!! I started by stamping my sentiment and flowers on an MFT Perfect Panel. The images were then colored using my Copics and then cut out. I used my Cuttlebug to cut out the sentiment panel and it's layers(Riding Hood Red, Pink Pirouette, and Kiwi Kiss). My DP is from the SU Bella Rose pack, my brads are from Michael's, spiral clip from Amazon, and my ribbons are from SU.

For my next card, I used the new Beautiful Spring mini set. It was also stamped on an MFT Perfect Panel, and then colored with my Copics. I know I have been using these colors and DP(Georgia Peach, Regal Rose, So Saffron, and Old Olive) a lot, but they are so perfect for Spring, how could you not? My sentiment panel was created using SU punches, my ribbons are from SU, brads are from Michael's and my spiral clip came from Amazon.
Well, that is it for me now!! The next stop on the hop is at my girl Jodi's Blog. I love that chick and I am SURE she has something that is going to knock your socks off!! Thanks for stopping by and have fun!!

Celebrate...

I haven't had much time to stamp or blog of late, but I have had this card done for a week now, and just haven't had the time to post it. Uuuugh, life is so hectic when you have to actually go to work, LOL!! I know I had whined before about trying to figure out a good balance between my social/stamping/work life, and I have my moments where I do really well, and then others that aren't so hot. This past week hasn't been so hot....but things will get better, I am sure!!

For today, I have a card I made using the GORGEOUS new stamp from My Favorite Things, Birthday Balloon Jolinne. Isn't she pretty!! I stamped her on an MFT Perfect Panel, and then colored her with my Copics. I then paired her with my SU Cottage Wall DSP. The CS colors are Rich Razzleberry, Orchid Opulence, and Old Olive. My ribbons are from SU, as well as the punches used for the sentiment. I got my brads from Michael's and my spiral clips from Amazon.
Well, that is it for me for now. Thanks for stopping by!!

I used the same colors, papers, and accessories as I did on my WTG card....I love this paper and color combo, so I just couldn't help myself. We are also releasing a new digital paper pack called Easter Daisies, also designed by Stephanie.

For the inside, I used more of the DP, but I also stamped a cute little chickie from the set, and added my sentiment....SUPER CUTE, huh!!??!!

Happy Valentine's Day!!

Happy Valentine's Day to all of my readers, followers, family, and friends!! I hope you all have a wonderful day filled with love and laughter!!
Today, I decided to play in Jen's Sketch For You To Try. Since it is Valentine's Day, I had to use my FAVORITE new set from There She Goes, Chemistry. Don't you just LOVE it??!!

I started by stamping my images on an MFT Perfect Panel, then they were colored with my Copics and cut out. I adhered them to a piece of Gina K. white, and layered it with Red, Kiwi Kiss, and Black. My DP is from the SU Rockabilly DSP, and all my punches used for my sentiment panel and my ribbon, are from there as well. My brads are from Michael's, and my spiral clip was purchased through Amazon.
Well, that is it for me now!! Thanks for stopping by and have a great day!!

Crazy 4 Challenges-RED!!

If you haven't guessed...red is one of my FAVORITE colors!! From the red in my hair, the red on a ton of my cards....I also own a ton of red clothes, and a red car!! So, when I saw that this week's Crazy 4 Challenges challenge was to use red, well, that's not really a challenge for me, LOL!!
For my card tonight, I decided to use the SUPER cute new ROFL Taglines set from There She Goes. Isn't my little cow a CUTIE!! The sentiment cracks me up....and you should check out the rest of the set if you wanna know the punchline!! It's HILARIOUS!! This card is working EXTRA hard tonight, since it is not only for the C4C24 challenge, but also for Mercy's Sketch, and the There She Goes challenge from Monday. Yayy me!!
Well, that is it for me now!! Thanks for stopping by and be sure to check out the C4C blog for all the details, and to see what the other girl's have for you to ogle!!

Have A Blooming Good Day

It's no secret that I LOVE these cutie little Pure Innocence images sold by My Favorite Things...I only tell you at least once a week, right?? Well, this little cutie was released this past release, and I LOVE her!!

I started by stamping her(she is currently sold out, but I will let you know when she is back!!) on an MFT Perfect Panel. I also stamped her on a piece of Cottage Wall DSP, and then paper pieced her dress. The rest of the image was colored with my Copics. My CS and DP are all from SU, as well as my accessories. Of which, I just realized there isn't a spiral clip....the HORROR!! How on earth did that happen??? Must of been having a blond moment....I am famous for them, LOL!!

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!!
