Crazy 4 Challenges- Spring

Well, I don't know about the weather where you are, but today was GORGEOUS here!! Spring is definitely here and I am THRILLED. Since it is Saturday-ish, it is time for another Crazy 4 Challenges challenge. Today's challenge was to make a Spring-y card.

I LOVE the Spring paper pack from My Favorite Things, so I decided to use it for my card today. I started by stamping my Jolinne-Best Friends Always image on an MFT Perfect Panel, and then colored it with my Copics. I then layered it with Gumdrop Green, Bubblegum Pink, and So Saffron CS. My brads are from SU, as well as my ribbons. My spiral clip came from Michael's. I used SU punches for my sentiment. I haven't used this layout for awhile, so I thought it was time!!
Well, that is it for me now!! Thanks for stopping by and have a great day!! Don't forget to check out what the other Crazies have come up with for today's challenge!! Enjoy!!

Mercy's Sketch 65

Happy Thursday!! I had some time to stamp before work, so I decided to play along with Mercy's sketch for this week. I love her and her sketches, and this week's is FABULOUS!!

I started by stamping my chick image from the MFT What's Crackin'? set on an MFT Perfect Panel. I then colored the chick with Copics, and paper pieced the shell with some Georgia Peach DSP. I then layered it, using my Cuttlebug and Nestabilities, with Saffron, Rose, and Olive cardstock. My ribbons are all from SU, and my brads were purchased at Michael's. My sentiment is from the Pure Innocence set-My Basket of Eggs.
Well, that is it for me now!! Today, at least for this week, is my Friday, so WAHOOO!! I can't wait....two days off in a row, yayyy!! The next few weeks are going to be a bear, so trust me this weekend is welcomed and needed. My boyfriend and I have plans, and at the encouragement of my sweet and sassy friend, Jennifer Greco, he is going to make a card......stay tuned, LOL!!

I've Been Bad...

I have been VERY bad about sharing all the RAK's I have received over the last year. VERY BAD!! I literally have a box full of cards that I need to share, and to be honest, a box full to mail, so I need to get on the ball. Since I had no real stamping time this weekend, I decided that today is the day to start!! I will start showing them three at a time, til the box is empty!! To all my friends that have sent me cards I'M SORRY I AM SO SLOW!! LOL!! Without further ado....here we go!!
Julia Betemps- Owner of the Little Paper Shop
Sent as a Thank You for being a guest designer, to which I say, NO NO, THANK YOU!!

Barbara Anders- These next two are from her!! The first was from when I was recovering from dental surgery. The second, for my birthday!!!(yes, I've been that bad!!)



Thank you to both of you!! To the rest of you that have RAK'd me since my divorce...they are coming!! Slowly but surely!!!

Crazy 4 Challenges- Masculine

Hey everyone!! It's Saturday-ish, so it's time for another Crazy 4 Challenges challenge. This weeks challenge is to make a masculine card, something I struggle with. DRS Designs is our sponsor again this week, so I decided to use another one of their CUTE stamps!!

I started with Taylor's Sketch from today. I stamped my Sweet Offering Cutie Pie Kid on an MFT perfect panel, and then colored it in with my Copics. I then layered it with Kiwi and Baja Breeze cardstock. The DP I used is from a retired SU pack. My sentiment is from the Clearly Sentimental About You set by MFT. I used punches from SU to make my sentiment panel. My brads are from Michael's.
Well, that is it for me now!! Be sure to check out what the other Crazy Girl's have made for today's challenge!!

Mercy's Tuesday Sketch 64

I love sketch challenges, and Mercy's is one of my favorites!! I was THRILLED when I found out that she and Pam both, my stamping friends, would both be serving on the There She Goes team with me. WAHOOO!! I was also thrilled to see that Danielle, and Lisa, and Kim....all of whom I have served on one design team or another with before, were going to be a part of our team!! Also, to the other new girls: Chris, Heather, and Donna...I look forward to getting to know you all!!

For my card today, I started by using this week's sketch from Mercy's blog. I stamped my image, from Beautiful Spring by There She Goes, on an MFT Perfect Panel and then colored it in with my Copics. I then layered it with Bashful Blue and So Saffron. My DP is from the SU Delicate Dots pack. I layered it with So Saffron, and the striped layer with Certainly Celery. My border punch is by Martha Stewart, which I purchased at Michael's, along with my ribbons and brads. My spiral clip was purchased through Amazon.
Well, that is it for me now!! Thanks for stopping by and have a great day!!

Mojo Mojo Mojo!!!

Happy Humpday everyone!! I know I jinxed myself with my next to last post, saying my mojo was back and all that....but it really was. Then the weekend happened!! Between two jobs, spending time with loved ones, and trying to sleep somewhere in between there, I just didn't get a chance to stamp. But, I guess my mojo was going pretty good considering I was chosen as one of last week's Mojo contest winners, WAHOOOOO!!! I {heart} Julee and her sketches, and I was HONORED to be chosen!! Thank you, Julee!!

My card today was made using this week's Mojo Monday sketch....love it!! I started by stamping one of the new Pure Innocence images released last week from My Favorite Things, Sunshiny Day, on an MFT Perfect Panel. I then colored it with my Copics, and layered it with Bashful Blue, Red Hot(MFT), and Old Olive cardstock. My DP is from the SU, Summer Picnic pack. My ribbon and brads are both from Michael's, and my spiral clip was bought through Amazon.

For the inside, I used more of the DP, stamped and colored my image again on some GP white, and then stamped my sentiment. Cute, eh??!!
Well, that is it for me for now!! Thanks for stopping by and have a SUNSHINY day!!!

Crazy 4 Challenges- Piercing!!

It's Saturday(ish), so it is time for another Crazy 4 Challenges challenge!! This week's challenge is paper piercing, NOT PIECING!!!! There was a TINY bit of confusion prior to this challenge, so that is why I decided to warn you.....hehe!!! I love my CRAZY girls!! Since the challenge was paper piercing, it was NO problem for me. I can't remember the last card I made without piercing....easy peasy!! Here is some more info on the challenge:
Since this is the first Challenge of the Month, this is our Prize Challenge, which has been donated by DRS Designs. One lucky person will be randomly chosen to win a $15 gift voucher so time to start creating! We will announce the winner with next week's challenge post. If you would like to play along with us, all you have to do is create a card/project with paper piercing and upload it to your blog and/or to your SCS Gallery using the keyword C4C27. Don't forget to come back here and link it on Mr Linky so that everyone else can see it too.

For my card, I decided to use the SUPER CUTE Vincent Van Bunny image. It was stamped on an MFT Perfect Panel, and then colored with my Copics. I then layered it with Bubblegum and Gumdrop Green from MFT, along with their Spring Paper Pack, and some MFT ribbon. My sentiment is from the There She Goes Set, Hunny Bunnies.
Well, that is it for me for now!! Be sure to head on over to the C4C blog to see what the other girl's have created!! Thanks for stopping by and have a great day!!
