For my card I used A Little Treat as my stamp set. I stamped my chef, her plate, and the cake on X-Press It blending card, and then colored it with my Copics. She was then layered with Pink Lemonade, Blu Raspberry, and Wild Cherry cardstock from MFT. My paper is from the Crate Paper Paper Hearts line. I used Satin Edged Wide Grosgrain in Red from the Ribbon Carousel, and some Blossom Twine from MFT.

Well, that is it for me for now!! Be sure to head to the TSG blog to see my teammates GORGEOUS work!! I can't wait to see what you all do with this week's challenges!!

For my first card, I used the new Primitive Pumpkins set. It is more of a Halloween set, but I decided I wanted to do something a little different with it, and go for Fall. I cut the pumpkins out of some old SU DP, and then added them to a Sweet Tooth oval cut out with my Oval Stax Die-namics. I layered it with the Oval Decorative Doily Die-namics in Hot Fudge.  I did a little sponging, but not much, with some Cocoa ink. My swirls are the new Large Fancy Flourish Die-namics in Sage Shadow(SU). For my base I used Hot Fudge, Sage Shadow, and Orange Fizz. My ribbon is Orange Fizz grosgrain, and I used some of the yummy Hemp Twine from MFT, along with a Hot Fudge button. The border I used was cut with the Faux Crochet Border Die-namics. To finish, I used the new High Rise Alphabet Lowercase Die-namics.

For the inside, I used pieces of the swirl, and a sentiment from the Inspired by the Front Porch-Fall set.

For my second card, I used the new Fairy Dust set. She was stamped on X-Press It blending card, and some Basic Grey Eerie DP. I paper pieced her wings and dress, and colored the rest of her with my Copics. She was then layered with Sour Apple, Grape Jelly, and Black Licorice. My background was created with the new Jumbo Fishtail Banner Die-namics, and the Large Fancy Flourish Die-namics. I tied a bow with Black Licorice grosgrain, which I attached one of the new Halloween Charm Die-namics and some Honeydew Twine. My sentiment is from the Primitive Pumpkins set, and was stamped on a strip from the Sentiment Strips Die-namics.

For the inside, I used another sentiment from the Primitive Pumpkins set, and some more of the Basic Grey paper.

Here are the Die-namics I have used:

Well, that is it for me for now!! Thanks for stopping by, and be sure to head to Kim's Blog to see a list of all the other stampers that are showing Teasers today!

For my card tonight, I used the Bombdiggity set, which I masked the bomb out of her hands, and added a number from the Numbered Days set. I colored her entirely with my Copic markers, and then cut it all out with my Oval Stax Die-namics. I then layered the main image with Hot Fudge cardstock  cut out with the Oval Open Scalloped Doily Die-namics. My sentiment was punched out with my oval punches, and I used MFT Hot Fudge grosgrain and Michael's brads.

Instead of scrapbooking, I made a card using the new Donkey University set from There She Goes. I LOVE this cute little donkey and his nifty shirt sayings. I paired him with the Nikki Sivils Noah Collection Kit. I used two different papers from the kit, which I paired with Fossil(MFT), Really Rust(SU), and Night of Navy(SU) cardstock. My ribbon is from the Ribbon Carousel-White Twill and Natural Jute Twine. To finish, I added some brads from Creative Expressions.

Back to School with the Ribbon Carousel

Hey Everyone!! It's time for another Ribbon Carousel challenge, and 

This week our super talented Crewmate Wendy Ramlakhan is challenging us to create something with a "Back to School" theme.  The kids will be going back before we know it so get crackin' on making some back to school treats for the kids and the teachers!

For my card, I used the Pure Innocence You Make the Grade set. I stamped her on X-Press It blending card, and then colored her with my Copics. I followed this month's Guest Designer sketch from MFT, too. My cardstock colors are Bazzill Peppermint, Blu Raspberry(MFT),Orange Fizz(MFT), and Sweet Tooth(MFT). My colors were inspired by the new MME A Mother's Love paper pad...it is SO gorgeous!! I used White Twill ribbon, and Red Jute Twine for my ribbons, and the MFT By the Letters Die-namics for my letters. The only other things I added are Michael's brads, a Creative Express Spiral Clip, and a tab cut out with the MFT Mini Tabs Die-namics. 

For the inside, I used more of the same supplies!

Well, that is it for me for now!! Thanks for stopping by, and be sure to check out the Ribbon Carousel Blog for more details and samples! Better check out the MFT Guest designer contest, too!!

TSG171-Be My Squishy

Hey everyone! It's time for another There She Goes challenge, and this week, Kim Teasdale is challenging us to make a card using the sketch she provided. I LOVE a good sketch challenge, so I had to play. I didn't get a chance to use the new Enjoy Life-By the Sea set during the release, either, so I jumped at the chance to use it! It's darn near irresistible!

For my card, I started by cutting out my shapes using the Enjoy Life dies. I then stamped my jellyfish heads and legs(tentacles...googling...hold please...tentacles, yes) on their cut out shapes, and colored them. I LOVE that Jessica had Melyssa design a set PERFECT for these dies...it makes them SO much more versatile!!!  My paper is from the Lime Rickey Basic Grey pad, and I paired it with Wild Cherry, Orange Fizz, and Sour Apple card stock from MFT. My oval and it's scalloped oval layer are from the MFT Die-namics Oval Stax and Oval Open Scalloped Doily Duo. To finish, I used some Michael's brads and some Red V Striped Twill ribbon from the Ribbon Carousel.

Well, that is it for me for now! Be sure to check out the There She Goes blog for more details, and to see which of my teammates are playing along!!

Have a great day!

C4C151-Inspired By My Girls

My nieces were at my house today, and they wanted to see me make a card...how can you tell their cute little faces no? You can't says me!!!LOL

I let them decide on everything, but had to control a bit of it since I had PROMISED I would put it on my blog...so here goes girlies, this one's for you!!

This week's Crazy 4 Challenges challenge is a sketch being hosted by Silke Ledlow. The girls chose to use the new On the Move stamp set from There She Goes. I colored my image on X-Press It blending card with my Copics, and then layered it with Bazzill Cotton Candy, SU Cool Caribbean, and MFT Fossil. I used the Echo Park Hello Summer paper pad, SU punches for my sentiment, MFT Pink Lemonade, and finished off with some Michael's brads. I used the MFT Photo Corners Die-namics for my corner.

Well, that is it for me for now! Be sure to check out the Crazy 4 Challenges blog to see who all is playing along!
