Etsy Shop Updated!!
I spent SEVERAL hours updating my Etsy store, today!! Lots more to go, but it's a start!! Now...SHOP!!!! ;)
MFTWSC26 Happy 1st Birthday!
Hey everyone, and happy Wednesday!! Since it is Wednesday, technically, it is time for another Wednesday Stamp Club challenge from My Favorite Things!! Next week is my ADORABLE nephew Ian's 1st Birthday, so I used this SUPER CUTE sketch to make him a card!!
I started by stamping my border stamp on GP White and then cut it out. I then stamped my Happy, 1, and st stamps with Memento Tuxedo Black. I used the First Place Award Ribbon Die-namics to cut out my Sour Apple layer, a Circle Nestie for my Tangerine Tango layer, and then the Award Die-namics in Black Licorice for the scalloped layer. My paper is from the Lime Twist Out of the Blue pad. I used brads from Michael's, and Charcoal Twine from MFT. My stars were cut out with the Stacking Stars Die-namics. For my border, I used the Open Zig Zag Border Die-namics.
For the inside, I used more of the same supplies and Die-namics, but my sentiment came from the Pure Innocence Rose set.
Well, that is it for me for now!! Be sure to check out Kim's blog for a full list of designers participating in today's sketch!!

Brighten My Day...
I had a little time to stamp the other day, and I wanted to use the GORGEOUS Forever set from There She Goes...I just LOVE the pretty flowers!
I stamped my flowers on an X-Press It blending card, and then colored it with my Copics. I then layered it with Baja Breeze, More Mustard, and Not Quite Navy. My paper is from the MME Stella&Rose Hazel line. My ribbon is SU, brads are from Michael's, and my spiral clip is from Creative Express.
Well, that is it for me for now! Thanks for stopping by!

Forgotten Stamp Friday
Hey everyone!! Since it is Friday, it is time for Forgotten Stamp Friday. If you aren't familiar with this challenge, it is a personal challenge that I have posed to myself to make me use some of my uninked, unused, and neglected stamps. The only rule is that it has to have been uninked or owned for 6 months. Digi images count, as well...we tend to collect those, and then never use them, too! If you decide to play along, just be sure to enter your name in the Mr. Linky, and when uploading to an online gallery, use the keyword...FSF25.
For my card tonight, I started with one of the first Pure Innocence images that were ever released, Fairy Girl. I stamped her on an X-Press It Blending card. I then layered my image with Sour Apple, Barely Banana, and Pink Lemonade. My paper is from one of the MME Lime Twist collections. I used MFT ribbon, Blossom and Honeydew Twine, Michael's brads, and a Creative Express spiral clip. I also used the Open Bracket Border Die-namics. My sentiment was cut out using the First Place Award Ribbon Die-namics.
For the inside, I used more of the same paper and the border, and another saying from the set.
Well, that is it for me for now! Thanks for stopping by, and I can't wait to see if you play along!

MFTWSC25- You're the Cutest Bride
Hey everyone, and happy Wednesday!! Since it is Wednesday, technically, it is time for another Wednesday Stamp Club challenge from My Favorite Things. This week's sketch is FABULOUS....except I made mine a square card...I needed some more room, LOL!!
For my main image, I used the new Pure Innocence-Wedding Flower Girl set. I paired her with a sentiment from the Pure Innocence- Ring Bearer set. She was stamped on an X-Press It Blending card, and then colored her with Copics. This is the first main image I haven't layered in a long time. This card could have gotten SUPER heavy SUPER fast if I had, LOL!! My Dizzy Doily Die-namic was used to cut my Fancy Pants-It's the Little Things paper. I paired it all with So Saffron(SU), Spearmint, and Black Licorice card stock. I used SU ribbon, and Michael's brads. My flowers were created with the Pretty Posies Die-namics. I then used the First Place Ribbon Award Die-namics to cut out my sentiment from the Ring Bearer set.
For the inside, I used all of the same supplies, along with a sentiment from the Pure Innocence Rose set.

Vroom/Hibiscus Blog Hop Challenge!!
It is night two of this month's There She Goes Blog Hop Challenges, and tonight we have two super cute sets to share with you!! Tonight's hop started at the There She Goes blog, so if you didn't start there, head on back there to get started. If you are here now, you should have come from Jessica's blog!!
This adorable car illustrated by Melyssa is great to make a fun, every day card for family and friends! The larger car featured in this mini set was sized so that it could also be used with Leah (who can be seen in the Freeze The Moment stamp set).
Vroom is a 3x4 set that includes a total of 6 stamps and will sell for $7.
For my first card, I started with the smaller card from the set, which was colored on an X-Press it Blending Card. I then layered it with Orange Fizz and Hot Fudge. I felt a little retro with this super cute little car...so it just worked for me! I used some MME Lime Twist paper, Cappuccino Twine, and Michael's brads. My sketch is this week's Sweet Stop Sketch.
These gorgeous tropical flowers were illustrated by Torico and will quickly become a favorite from your summer stamping collection! Use them to create beautiful custom designer paper, color in the line art images to use as a focal point for your project or pair them with a TSG sentiment stamp set for a card that can be given for any occasion.
Hibiscus is a 3x4 set that includes a total of 7 stamps and will sell for $7.
For my second card tonight, I colored my Hibiscus on an X-Press It Blending card, and then layered it with Jelly Bean Green and Red Hot. My paper is from two different paper packs- the Cosmo Cricket Homemaker line, and the October Afternoon Fly a Kite line. I used some Maraschino Twine and Michael's brads.

It's VIP Time!!
Hey everyone, and welcome to this month's VIP release from My Favorite Things!! In addition to the à la modes we have peeked the last two days-You are Unrepeatable and I've Met My Match, we are releasing this month's VIP collection!! Here is a picture of this month's goodies!!
For my card tonight, I started by stamping my mermaid on a piece of X-Press It Blending Card. I then colored her with my Copics. I used my Copic Blending Pen to add some texture to her tail...make it look more scale like. I layered her with Bermuda Bay, Rich Razzleberry, and Fossil card stock. I used the Leafy Flourish Die-namics to add some scenery. My sentiment was cut out using the First Place Award Ribbon Die-namics. My Mind's Eye Lime Twist Happy Go Lucky is the paper I used, one of my favorite lines!! The ribbon I used is from MFT, and my brads are from Michael's.
For the inside, I used more of the same supplies, and a sentiment from the special limited edition VIP mini set. You want it...you need it...trust me!! I also used the Catch a Wave Die-namic in Fossil. Along with the paper, it kinda makes it look like waves washing up on the sand...in my mind at least, lol.
Well, that is it for me for now!! Next stop on the hop is the EVER FABULOUS, Jackie Pedro!! WHOOP WHOOP!! Tell her Spanky sent ya!!
