Crazy 4 Challenges- Sketch

This week's Crazy 4 Challenges challenge was brought to us by the super talented, Frances, and is being sponsored by Alota Rubber Stamps. Frances' challenge this week, is a sketch challenge....yaaaaaaaaayyyy!! I LOVE sketches!! Wanna play along? Here are the details!!

If you would like to play along with us, all you have to do is create a card/project, and upload it to your blog and/or to your SCS Gallery using the keyword C4C51. Don't forget to go back, here, and link it on Mr Linky so that everyone else can see it too.


For my card, I decided to use my NEW stamp set, What The Cluck?, from Paper Pretties. I know, I know, it has been FOREVER since I have used any of their stamps, but now that they have a new owner, and some AWESOME new sets and illustrators, I just couldn't help myself!! Besides, who doesn't need a stamp that says, What the Cluck??? LMBO!! Isn't it the CUTEST??

Happy Birthday Jacque!!

Hey everyone, welcome to Jacque's Birthday Blog Hop!! The hop started at Frances' blog, so be sure to go back there if you are just getting started here. My girl Jacque is amazing, as a friend and a fellow DT member. She is so cute, and spunky and FUN!! Around these parts, she is referred to as the officer...cause she tries to keep us in line..but seriously, she is usually the one that shoves us out of line, lol! I still love you though sister!!

By now, you have picked up on the whole TWILIGHT theme...cause we Pretties are obsessed with our werewolves and vampires...me, I am partial to a werewolf, one very hot but very young, lol, werewolf!



So Jacque, I hope you don't mine but I brought my friend Jacob to the party!! One word ladies...YUMMO!!



Anywho, since we were going for the Twilight theme, we chose to use a Red, Black, and White color scheme...I hope you LOVE it Jacque!! I used my FAVORITE Sophia Image, Cuddle Up and colored he with my Copics. I then colored her bear with my Sakura Stardust Glitter pen and added an E to his belly, so he is now her Edward teddy bear!! I bet Jacque already has one, but I made her another, teeheee!! All my accessories, papers, and supplies came from SU, and my sketch is one of the Mojo Sketches from this past week.

Well, that is it for me now!! The next stop on the hop is Christi, so be sure to check her out now!! Happy Birthday again girlie!! Here is the hop order in case you get lost!!

Take Time To Enjoy...

I love this new set from Paper Pretties called Everyday Picnic. It is so fun to color, and I LOVE the sentiments that come with it. I made this card for the Paper Pretties Stamping In Your Jammies release party.

The challenge was to use only buttons for an embellishment....you all know me, this was TOUGH!! I was a good girl though, and not only played in the challenge, but I completely followed the rules....I even used paper to go through my button holes so they wouldn't be naked!!LOL!! My DP is from the Bella Rose Pack, and all my CS(Kiwi Kiss and Riding Hood Red) and my corduroy buttons are from SU as well. The image was stamped on Gina K. White, and then colored with Copics. Thanks goodness piercing was allowed, or I would have cried!!
Well, that is it for me now!! Thanks for stopping by!!

Prettie Wednesday- Vellum

Happy Wednesday everyone!! Another week half way over, WOOHOOO!! Is it just me, or is time FLYING anymore though? Anyway, Two weeks ago, Christi challenged the Prettie Girls to make a card using vellum. Well, me being me, I assumed that I had a ton of this stashed somewhere...hmmmm, nope.LOL!!

I actually went to make my card tonight and could not find any ANYWHERE!! The only vellum I could find was this Dragonfly vellum that SU carried YEARS ago. I decided it would have to work though since I needed a card by morning...stupid procrastination!! For my image, I stamped the super cute Give Thanks Sophia(from Paper Pretties) on an MFT Perfect Panel and then cut her out using my Circle Nesties. She was then colored with my Copics, and paper pieced with some Thoroughly Modern DSP. The scalloped layer is Soft Suede. I attached my vellum using silver brads. Under the vellum, there is more DP, as well as under the image. All of it is from the same collection. The ribbon is from SU as well, but the spiral clip is from Joanne's. I used this past Saturday's Sketch For You To Try for my card as well.
Well, that is it for me now!! Thanks for stopping by and have a great day!! Be sure to check out the other Pretties to see what they have been up to!!

The sentiment is from the Bugs And Fishes set. I used Melon Mambo, Soft Suede, and Bermuda Bay cardstock along with my thoroughly modern DSP. The brads are from SU, as well as the ribbon, and the spiral clips are from Joann's. The image was stamped on an MFT Perfect Panel with Memento Tuxedo Black ink and then colored with Copics!!

Nothing New....

ETA: I just saw today's LSC, and even though my card isn't new...it is new to all of you, so I am including it in that challenge, lol!! The challenge was to make a card using a summer activity as the theme. Well, for me, swimming is DEFINITELY a summer activity!!

My nephew is still here, so instead of stamping a new card, I decided to show one that I made for the Paper Pretties Stamp of The Month gallery. It used to be a private gallery, but now that it is open to the public, anything we make is fair game!! I used the SUPAH cute set, Make A Splash, and if you haven't seen the new add on set, it is FABULOUS too!! The DP is from the Slumber Party DSP that retired from SU. I used Riding Hood Red and Baja Breeze DSP, and all my accessories are from SU. I LOVE this card, so I am so thrilled to let you all see it!!

Well, I better get to bed, who knows what he has in store for me tomorrow..but good news, my sister is on the mend. Hopefully she will be fully recovered and soon because she is missing him PRETTY bad!! I however am still trying to adjust to having him around. I am fine to take care of him during the day, but keeping him all night is an adjustment. Let's just say we both didn't get as much sleep as we should have...but we made up for it today with some spectacular naps!!LOL!! Thanks for stopping by, have a great day!

Happy Birthday Danielle!!

Hey everyone and WELCOME to Danielle's Birthday party blog hop!! By now you should have been through the whole hop..but if you are just now starting, head on back to Jodi's blog to get started!! If you are hear now, you should have come from Jacque's Blog!!
For today, which is normally Prettie Wednesday, we decided to still do Jacque's FABULOUS color challenge, but we all made our cards for our girl Danielle!! I chose to use Canadian Sophia for mine. I masked her flags and shirt so that I could add a D for Danielle on mine!! My image was colored with Copics after being stamped on an MFT perfect Panel. The sentiment is from the Bugs and Fishes set and was punched out with my SU oval punches. The DSP is from the Thoroughly Modern DSP pack, and I paired it with the challenge colors of Bermuda Bay and Soft Suede. All my accessories are from SU, except for the spiral clips.
Well that is it for me now, and you have reached the end of the hop!! So, now it is time to hop onto Danielle's blog and wish her a Happy Birthday!! Thanks!!
Here is the hop order, just incase you get lost!!

Happy Birthday Katie!!

Today is my niece's fourth birthday, so if you get to see this...Happy Birthday Baby, I love you!! Katie is the youngest of my three niece's and is a PEACH!! She has the BEST personality and is so sweet she just oozes!!
LOVE HER!! Of course, I love all my other nieces just as much, but it isn't their birthday!! But I love you guys too!!
Okay, for today, I have a birthday gift card holder that I made using the super cute new Make A Wish Sophia from Paper Pretties.
She is just so dainty and pretty, I love her!! I stamped her on an MFT Perfect Panel and then colored her in with my Copics. I added some glitter to her wind over the candles to make it sparkle.
The base of this card is Melon Mambo, and I paired it with Orchid Opulence. The DP is from the Cottage Wall DSP pack. I used SU ribbons, and SU punches for my sentiment. I didn't have a birthday gift card to put in here, so I covered the one I did have with DP to make it match the card.
Well, that is it for me now...thanks for stopping by!

Prettie GLITTERY Wednesday

Well, today is Prettie Wednesday and we have a SUPAH sparkly challenge this week!! This week's challenge was given out by Jackie R, and she challenged us to make it shine, sparkly and glitter! Well, I don't know if you have noticed, but my blog isn't very sparkly...in fact, I hardly if ever use glitter. So basically, this was challenging to say the least. It doesn't help that as I was finishing my card I spilt my glitter all over my table and will now be covered in glitter for weeks to come! Oh well, right? Such is the life of a late night stamper, lol!!
Any who, my card was made using the SUPER cute new Stamp of the Month, Make a Wish Sophia from Paper Pretties. She was colored with Copics, and then I added glitter to her hat, waist, and shoes. The ribbon is from SU, and my glitter dots were bought from Gina K. The DP is part of the DCWV Glitter Stack. I paired it with Lavender Lace and Barely Banana card stock.

Well, that is it for me now! Be sure to check out the rest of the girls and see what they have been up to! And if you haven't already, be sure to check out the new releases, they are FABULOUS!!

Tonight's The Night!!

I have had the song from the new Target commercials, Tonight's The Night, STUCK in my head for days...grrrr. I hate it when that happens, and more than that, I hate to be the only one it is happening too, so here's hoping it gets stuck in your head too...LOL!! Totally kidding, I REALLY hope it doesn't, for your sake!! Anywho, tonight IS FINALLY the night where we will be releasing the new Paper Pretties stamps!! YAYY!! The party starts at 8pmEST in the Paper Pretties forum, so be there or be square!!

Today, I am SO EXCITED to show you the next Stamp of the Month, Make A Wish! Isn't she a PEACH!! I just love her cute ruffly dress and her little foot popped up!! Of course, I can't remember the last time I DIDN'T like a Sophia...cause it hasn't happened!! She is my FAV little girl!! For my card today, I decided to use Jen's Sketch For You To Try. My circle got a little big, but it is still the sketch, lol! My image was colored with Copics, and the circles cut with Nestabilities and my Cuttlebug. All my embellishments and punches are from SU, except the spiral clip from Joanne's. My CS colors are Regal Rose, Pumpkin Pie, and Chocolate Chip. I used Sweet Always DSP from SU as well.
Well, that is it for me now!! Can't wait for tonight!!

I started my card with Cindy's Dare To Get Dirty sketch in mind,(you must be a fan club member to view this link, so get signed up if you haven't already!!), and this week's Prettie Challenge. I added the details at the bottom!! I stamped the pool and duck floaty on Gina K. White, and colored them in with my Copics. I then cut them both out. I decided to add the pool, and lean the floaty up against it...cute huh! After coloring them, and adding them to my main circle panel(Gina K. White, Cameo Coral, Summer Sun, and Tempting Turquoise), I did some piercing and then covered them both in Crystal Effects to make them shiny. I used SU punches for my sentiment panel. The DP is from the Pink Flamingo pack from SU. My Ribbon is also SU, brads are from Hobby Lobby, and the clip is from Joanne's.
ETA: I totally lifted this from Daniellen's blog so if it sounds like dejavus, it is, lol!!

Prettie Wednesday- A Favorite Embellie- or Four, lol!

So, two week's ago Jodi challenged all the Prettie Girls to make a card using their favorite embellishment. Me being an equal opportunity embellishment lover, I couldn't pick just one, so I used four, LOL!! I also, after some smooth talking from the Pretties, decided that we could start peeking the new sets today instead of tomorrow so you get to see the AMAZING new set, Everyday Picnic too!! YAHOO!! Here are all the release details, and then we will get to the goods!!

On Saturday, August 1st Paper Pretties will be having their monthly Stampin In Your Jammies party!! The party starts at 8pm EST and will last until 10pm.

Still here? Good!! Here is a look at the new Everyday Picnic set...isn't it FABULOUS!! It is this main image, and a few FABU sentiments that are PERFECT for many occasions! I had so much fun with this image. It was colored with Copics, then I added Crystal Effects to the wine glasses and bottle to make them shiny. The DP is from the Thoroughly Modern DSP and was paired with the new Soft Suede and Rose Red. The white is from Gina K. All the ribbons are from SU, the sentiment was punched out with an SU punch, and the brads are SU as well.

Dare To Get Dirty!!

I don't know if you have been playing along, but it is Dare To Get Dirty time at SCS!! The fun started yesterday, when Jen kicked everything off with a fabulous challenge!! These challenges are for fan club members, so if you aren't already a member, now's your chance to join, and join in the fun!! I was honored that fellow DD/DDA member, Deb Saaranen(DeborahLynneS) asked if I would like to make a sample for her challenge.If you can't tell by my card, her challenge was all about texture, and there is a TON of it on my card!! My main image is Angel Sophia from Paper Pretties. She was stamped on watercolor paper and then watercolored using my SU reinkers and an aquapainter. I cut her out and added her to my SU Whisper White oval. It was then layered with Not Quite Navy. The wings have a touch of glitter on them from my Sakura Stardust glitter pen, and the trim on her dress was done with Liquid Applique. The DP is from Heidi Grace, and has a ton of texture to it as well. The White layer on the back was run through my Cuttlebug with the snowflakes folder. All my ribbons are retired SU, the brads are from Hobby Lobby, and my sentiment is from the retired SU Season's Greetings(I think).
Well, that is it for me now, be sure to check out the challenges and play along!! Have fun!!

It's Jessica's Birthday, woot woot!!

Today is my good friend, and fellow Prettie Girl-Jessica Diedrich's birthday, and you KNOW we pretties LOVE our birthday hops, so of course we had to have one today to celebrate our girl Jessica, LOVINGLY known as NJ(if you want to know, she may tell you)!! The Hop started at Christie's Blog, so you need to go there to get started!! For her party today, I of course had to use Pink and Butterflies...cause they ARE her favorite!! I started by stamping my Flutterby Sophia on an MFT Perfect Panel. I then colored it in with my Copics, and layered it with Pumpkin Pie, Melon Mambo, and Old Olive. The butterfly was cut out separately and then added on. I added some white brads, ribbon from SU, and used my SU oval punches to do my sentiment. The sentiment is ACTUALLY from Jessica's very own set recently released by The Greeting Farm. The DP is from the Razzleberry Lemonade pack from SU.
Well, that is it for me now...now it is time to hop on, so head on over to Julie's blog!!
Here is a list of the blog hop participants, just in case there is a break or you get lost along the way!! Thanks for stopping by and be sure to go wish Jessica a HAPPY BIRTHDAY at the end!!

Prettie Wednesday- My Sketch

ETA: I just wanted to say a HUGE thank you to all my fellow Prettie Girls for their surprise hop for me today!!! If you didn't get to see it, go to Christie's blog!! I really needed this today too! The swelling set in yesterday, and last night was pretty rough. I am trying to take it easy today, so far so good. Thanks for all the well wishes girls, you are the best!!



So, two weeks ago I challenged my Prettie Girls to make a card using a sketch I had drawn up. I loved my sketch so much, you may be seeing a lot of it!! Basically it is one that I use as my go to sketch, which I think we all have!! For my card, I decided to make a masculine birthday card, I don't know about you, but I am a girlie girl. I NEVER think about making masculine cards until I need them, so it is kinda nice to be ahead for a change!! I started by stamping my Luke image from the Paper Pretties set, Right on Par. I stamped it on an MFT Perfect Panel and then colored him with my Copics. His shirt was paper pieced with a piece of Prestwick DSP(retired SU). I then cut him out and embossed him with my Cuttlebug and Oval Nesties. The layer is Garden Green, and the othe color on the card is Brocade Blue. My sentiment was punched out with the new modern label punch. I added Brocade Blue wide grosgrain from SU , white brads from Hobby Lobby, and a spiral clip from Joann's. The Blue layer was embossed with my Argyle Cuttlebug embossing folder.

Well, that is it for me now!! I am so excited because the next Paper Pretties release is coming up and the new sets are TO DIE FOR!! The peeks will start a week from today, so stay tuned!! While you are at it though, blurf around and check out what the other girls have been up to!!

Rain, Rain, Go Away...

Seriously, I don't know about any of you, but I am SICK of rain!! I know it is great for the farmers, which I am surrounded by so that I am thankful for that...but come on!! I can't remember the last weekend we had without rain. I guess I shouldn't complain though. So far, it has been a pretty mild summer here in S. IL., with the exception of a week of VERY hot temps, KNOCK ON WOOD!!
For my card today, I decided to use the Rainy Day Friends set from Paper Pretties. It is now available in rubber, which means I need to get my order in!! I love clear stamps, but if I can have rubber..that is the way I go!! I don't know if it is because that is what I started with, and love, or what, but I still love them. What's funny is the fact that it is WAY easier to stamp with clear stamps, and they take up less space, but I just love the smell of new rubber!! Anywho, I stamped my Sophia from the Rainy Day Friends set on an MFT Perfect Panel, and then colored her in with my Copics. She was then cut out and embossed with my Cuttlebug. The colors on this card are So Saffron, Bashful Blue and Certainly Celery. the DSP is from the Delicate Dots pack from SU. I stamped my sentiment directly on my DP with memento Tuxedo Black, and then added the brads from Hobby Lobby to the bottom and top corners. The ribbons are all from SU, and the spiral clip is from Joann's. I used a large white grommet from SU to put my ribbon through. Isn't it cute??
Well, that is it for me now!!! Thanks for stopping by and have a great day!!

Prettie Wednesday-Making a Background

So, I think I may have cheated on this one, but I don't know!! Two weeks ago, Danielle challenged us to make our own backgrounds using something around our house. I chose to do a technique my SU upline taught me years ago....unfortunately, I didn't remember ALL the important rules, but I do like the end result!! I started by taking my Dad's shaving cream and putting some on a paper plate, then I took my Rich Razzleberry, Melon Mambo, and Crushed Curry reinkers and put a few drops of each on top of it. I then took a paintbrush and swirled the color in. I apparently went a little heavy on the Melon Mambo, but oh well!! You then take a piece of glossy cardstock and place it glossy side down on the cream. Pull it up, wipe off the excess(I used a paper towel) and viola...a swirly background. Now you are asking, where is it. Well, I made it, then put it on my card and proceeded to cover it all up, LOL!! It is the bright pink panel behind the main image. I think if you click on the picture you will be able to see it better, but no guarantees!!
For my main image, I stamped my Give Thanks Sophia from Paper Pretties on an MFT Perfect Panel and a piece of Razzleberry Lemonade DSP. Her dress was paper pieced, and then I colored the whole image with my Copics. She is layered with Rich Razzleberry, Melon Mambo, and Crushed Curry. All the ribbons are from SU and the brads are from Hobby Lobby, and the Spiral Clips are from Joann's.
Well, that is it for me now!! Thanks for stopping by and be sure to check out what the other Prettie's have done for this challenge!!

A Prettie Sketch

This week's Paper Pretties Weekly Challenge is a sketch challenge drawn up by our fabulous Danielle. She is a ROCKIN sketch artist, and just a ROCKIN artist period!! For my sketch I chose to use one of my favorite Prettie stamps, Simply Special. The watering can was paper pieced with some Parisian Breeze DSP and the rest of the image was colored with my Copics. I used my SU scallop punch for the DP circles. The colors on this card are Chocolate Chip, Kraft, and Baja Breeze. The ribbon is from the retired Valet Ribbon Originals. I am in a huge hurry this morning, so be sure to check out this thread for all the details about the challenge and to play along!! Thanks for stopping by!!
