Wednesday Stamp Club Time!!

It's Wednesday(on the East Coast), so it is time for another Wednesday Stamp Club challenge. I am trying to make sure that I participate in all the challenges this year, and now that it is a sketch, that should be CAKE!!

For today's challenge, I used the newly released Pure Innocence- You're So Tweet stamp set. I stamped my image on an MFT Perfect Panel, and colored it with my Copics, except part of her dress, which was paper pieced. My DP is Basic Grey Urban Prarie, and I used Wild Cherry, Black Licorice,and Berrylicious card stock. My ribbon is from Michael's, brads as well, and I used an SU punch to cut out my sentiment. My scallops were made with the new Simply Scalloped Die-namic.

Well, that is it for me for now!! Be sure to check out Kim's blog for a list of the other designer's participating today!!

It's a HOP!!!!

Hey everyone, and welcome to this month's My Favorite Things new release HOP!! Tonight's hop started at Kim's Blog!! If you are here now, you should have come from the fabulously talented, Jody's Blog!!

Tonight I have a card using two new sets for you, Pure Innocence- Out on a Limb, and Twisted Foursome...LOVE IT!! I just love the sassy little look on her face, so I thought this sentiment was PERFECT for her!! Isn't she a cutie!! She was stamped on an MFT Perfect Panel, and then colored with my Copics. I then layered her with Black Licorice, Berrylicious, and Crushed Curry card stock. My DP is from the Urban Prairie Basic Grey pack. I used the new Simply Scallops Die-namics for my scallops as well. All my ribbon is from MFT, and my brads are from American Crafts.

Capture Each Moment...

Hey everyone, and welcome to day two of this month's New Release Teasers from My Favorite Things. Tonight we have three new sets to show you again: Flopsey- Smooth Sailing, Twisted Foursome, and Jolinne- Catch a Star. I have chosen to use the new Jolinne, but the other two are CALLING to me!!

For my card, I started by stamping my Jolinne on an MFT Perfect Panel, and then colored her with my Copics. She was layered with Dusty Durango and Crushed Curry. My butterflies were cut out with the new Butterflies Die-namic being released this month!! I added mini brads down their centers to make them special, lol! My sun was cut out using my Curry card stock, and some more DP...Razzleberry Lemonade from SU. My ribbon is from May Arts, and my brads are from both Michael's and MFT. I used the new Simply Scallops Die-namics to make my scalloped layers, as well. You can't see my sentiment very well, my bad, but it says Capture Each Moment...so pretty!!

Crazy 4 Challenges-Vintage/Shabby Chic

Okay, now seriously, be kind to me....BE KIND. I am NOT a Vintage-y, Shabby Chic, kinda girl...at all. I LOVE the look of it, and admire people that can pull it off, but I HATE it when I do it. It never looks right to me....egad!! Unfortunately for me, this week's challenge over at the Crazy 4 Challenges blog is to make a one of "those" kind of cards...and not being one to back down from a challenge, I struggled through.

I literally pulled out all my tricks for this card. I even used flowers, PRIMA flowers, and my old Vanilla Hodge Podge Hardware kit from SU. Wow. I started by stamping my Cupid image from the My Favorite Things Inspired by Love set, in Pale Plum ink. I then stamped my sentiment over that with Perfect Plum. I then layerd the image with those two colors of card stock, and some Mellow Moss. The edges were lightly sponged with Pale Plum ink, as well. My crochet trim came from MFT, and I used the MFT Faux Crochet Border Die-namics.


Well, that is it for me for now. Thanks for stopping by, and have a great day!! Be sure to hop around and check out my other crazies!! LOVE these girls!!

You Spin My Spurs

WOOHOO!! It is time for this month's My Favorite Things new release teasers to start, and I for one, and SUPER excited!! Aren't you??!! Tonight, we have three new sets to show you, as well as a peek at a new companion line for the Die-namics!! I have made a card using the new Fred Bear Out West....cause I love me some Fred Bear!!

I won't bore you with a ton of details, but I will say that Fred was stamped on an MFT Perfect Panel, and then colored with my Copics. I then layered him with Really Rust, Sage Shadow, and Hot Fudge. My DP is an OLD SU pack. My border was made using the Star Border Die-namic, and my stars were made using the Stacking Stars Die-namic. The ribbon is one I got from an MFT pack from a long while ago...so long, I don't remember which one, LOL!




For the inside, I used more of the same supplies, and I stamped the cactus from the set onto my DP.

Forgotten Stamp Friday-Week 8

Hey everyone, and welcome to this week's Forgotten Stamp Friday post!! This card is pulling double duty this week, as it is also my sample for this month's Guest Designer Challenge for My Favorite Things. For more details about that, check out this thread here, on SCS. I can't WAIT to see what you all come up with using our "Recipe For Love". LOL!! Don't forget, the winner can get up to $100 worth of free stamps, as well as, get to post along side the DT next month during teasers and participate in our monthly blog hop!! Cool, right??!!

If you aren't familiar with the Forgotten Stamp Friday challenge, it's a challenge I pose to myself, and all my friends and readers to make a card or project using a stamp that hasn't been used or has been owned and NOT used for at least six months. You don't have to post ON Friday to play along, so don't worry about that, just have fun, and be sure to leave a link so I can jump around and see what you have been up to!!

For my card, I used the Amanda Baird set Love at First Sight. Apparently, I am a moron, an it is no longer available, which is just about par for my course, but it is a stamp that I own, and love, and I haven't used in FOREVER....oh well, I suck. LOL!! My DP is an old SU pack, and my card stock is all from SU.
Well, that is it for me for now....better go, before I mess anything else up. Thanks for stopping by, and have a great day!!

To My Favorite Secret Agent...

Happy Birthday BOOOOOOOONNNNNDDDDD!!!! LOL!!

If you are just now joining us, no, I am not having a seizure!! Today, we are celebrating the birthday of the ever fabulous, amazingly talented, wildly hilarious, and SWEET as sugar, Wendy Bond!! You may know her from her blog, Bond Girl Bliss, but if you TRULY know her...she is a TREAT!! I love her more than I can explain, so when I was asked to participate in her birthday hop I was MORE than enthusiastic!! Today's hop started at Karen's Blog...the ringleader. If you are here now, you should have come from Cath Groden's blog.

For my card, I used the super cute, Time To Celebrate à la mode set. She was stamped on an MFT Perfect Panel, and then colored with my Copics. I used the MFT Banner Strip Die-namic, and the Banner Day Alphabet, to make my Wendy banner. She better know that I love her, because I used the LAST of my FAVORITE paper on this card...I may have a tiny strip left, but not much!! I used the Small Scalloped Border Die-namic to make my Wild Cherry scalloped layer under my FAVORITE DP panel.



For the inside, I used MORE of my favorite DP...because I LOVE her....LOL!! I also used one of my favorite sayings from the MFT set, Lovin' From The Oven.
Well, that is it for me for now!! Your next stop is Jody Morrow's blog....isn't she FABULOUS!!

To my girl Wendy:
Thank you for being there for me when I need a laugh, a cry, a shoulder, a pat on the back, a friend, a partner in crime, and some of the best advice I have ever received. I never imagined that meeting people through this little hobby(obsession), would allow me to meet people that I connect with INSTANTLY, and think of as friends....even though we've never met in person, I feel like I know you and I KNOW that we would be the BEST of friends if you were here in "real" life. I love you girl, hope you have a birthday that is as amazing as you are, and as amazing as I think you are!! HUGS and KISSES......you ho!!!
