Kini Bella----mmmmm not so much in TX today

It's raining it's pouring....I used to love that little song when I was a kid. This whole week has been rain or the threat of rain. I don't think Kini Bella would be very happy about this weather! I made this card as part of the Amy Rsavy sketch challenge last week. Her blog is fabulous...check it out if you get a chance http://prairiepaperandink.typepad.com Also I noticed she talks about sneak peeks for All That Scraps today....



Hope you enjoy the card and the weather where ever you are!

My friend Kim made one with this sketch on its side and I love the way that looks too.

What's your favorite way to spend a "me" day? Mine is probably...drink a cup of coffee or two still in my PJ's and then spend time creating in my craft room while listening to/watching my favorite romantic comedies! Leave me a comment and let me know....I would love to hear from you!

The Cat's Pajama's for today!

Hello! Well this has been a very busy week! I did sneak some time in to work on The Cat's Pajama's challenge for the week. It was brought to us by none other than Carolw Burrage! (http://www.motherslittlehelper.typepad.com/) She always has such fantastic cards on her blog! The sketch this week pretty straight forward but I struggled with too much space, not enough balance, embellies weren't working, blah blah blah. Here is the final product. I actually like it I just needed a little time away from it!

My goal was to make a card that wasn't too girly so I can give it to my dad for his upcoming birthday. Well if it is too girly...he will just have to pretend it isn't!

Hope you have a great day!

The second thing I want to share with you today is a cute card I made from last weeks TCP challenge! It was so fun but is definitely bright. The challenge had you use Pink, Orange, and Yellow. I actually had trouble coloring the image b/c it was so bright and kinda did hurt my eyes! I figured the only alternative would have been coloring with my sunglasses on but that would have been pretty silly! It makes me laugh just picturing it! Hope you like the card! You can hop over to The Cat's Pajamas blog to see all the other entry cards in a slide show! There are some awesome ones ... http://dancinginpajamas.blogspot.com/

Monday and something other than a card to start the week!

Hello! Well it was a very relaxing weekend! I got a lot of time to play and surf the net admiring other peoples creativity along the way. Today I am sharing an altered book I made this weekend! I used a blank book I got at Michael's for only a $1. You just have to love those dollar bins! I knew I wanted to use my new grunge board that I got on http://www.pezadoodle.com/ to write out the words GO GREEN and for the butterfly on the notebook! This was my first time using this grunge board and I really love it. The grunge board is really cool and I was able to color it using my markers but I am sure paint or inking it up with a stamp pad would work great too! I also knew I wanted to use my Branching out set from Taylored expressions b/c I just can't use this set enough. I love, love, love the owls! I pulled an assortment of ribbons from my stash and I was on my way. I am already using this notebook to keep track of all my crafting ideas and sketches.

Well I hope your week is off to a fantastic start! I have a lot of new cards to share with you this week.....

Notebook details:

Stamps: branching out from Taylored Expressions

Paper: The green stack (DCWV), Kraft CS (SU), White CS (Papertrey ink)

Ink: Graphite Black-Brilliance

Accessories: Copics, rectangle nestabilities, ribbons, grungeboard letters and shapes, dew drops, red tape, glue dots, dimensionals, and adhesive

Easter Egg Hunts, Hollow Chocolate bunnies, and peeps oh my...

I miss the old days. When we were kids Easter was one of my favorite holidays. I remember waking up and seeing my Easter basket on the mantel with my sisters right next to it and all the candies inside. Larger than everything else would be my hollow chocolate Easter bunny. Now I give my Easter candy away because I don't need it (calories/health/cavities) etc.((well most of it anyway :0)) Oh....to be a kid again!!!!

Hope you are having a wonderful Easter today and you are getting a chance to go back and re-live some of your childhood traditions.

The card I am sharing today is from the Easter set from The Cats Pajamas. This was a card from the challenge three Tuesdays ago. Initially I wasn't real happy with the end product so I left it apart on my table for a week or so. My friend saw it and convinced me to finish it up! Thanks Kim! Hope you like it!

Phoebe Khetto a little funky and a lotta fun!

Hello everyone! Well I got a chance to hang out with my friend and make some cards (well 2) last night. I had a lot of fun though! The two challenges I worked on last night challenged me but in a good way. I did the TCP challenge you can check it out on www.susiestampalot.blogspot.com. It was bright but way too fun! I also did the Bella challenge b/c I was just dying to ink up a Khetto. These little Khetto images are so fun! I am going to have to get some of my own or move into my friends stamp studio...? Anyway...I am really excited b/c I took out some of my new Pez-a-Bling for this card. You may be wondering what that is....It is kinda like the dew drops but squares and they are glittery and gorgeous as a new/different kind of embellishment! You can get them in a single color set or a multi color set on www.pezadoodle.com. I have a mixture and will be using them on our new stamp releases real soon!

My card today is using Phoebe Khetto. I struggled with this b/c the paper I picked I absolutely am in love with (Girl Friday from Cosmo Cricket). It is so gorgeous. When I went to do the challenge the flower side of the paper didn't work but the lined side finally did! I love this Kiwi Kiss satin ribbon and I actually used one of the 500 flowers in my studio. I struggle with putting flowers on cards but I am trying to get better. I don't know why it just never fits for me. Okay...I will stop talking now b/c I have to go give Taylor (www.tayloredexpressions.blogspot.com) and Jen's (www.iheart2stampg.com)sketch a try and do some chores (yuck on the chores part).

Have a Super Saturday!

CARD DETAILS:
Stamp: Phoebe Khetto (Stamping bella)
Paper: Girl Friday (Cosmo Cricket), Blue Bayou(SU), Kiwi Kiss(SU), and white (Papertrey ink)

By the way...Stamping bella has done it again...she has created a fantastic inspiration challenge that I can't wait to try! http://www.stampingbella.com/ (click on blogabella).

The card I am sharing with you today was made for the bella color challenge last week!

This card is using the Georginia Glamourpuss stamp and this oh so sweet saying from Coco Chanel. I love the way this turned out although I was very challenged by coloring on Very Vanilla paper rather than White for this one. I also made the corner with a scallop punch... the measurements are a little tricky but I got it to work finally. Hope you enjoy it!

Have a FABULOUS weekend!

TCP Challenge and Happy Saturday!

I saw the TCP challenge this week and didn't know what I would do for it. After looking through all my DP I found it! The perfect paper for the challenge (don't you just love that). I flipped through some splitcoast sketches and away I went. I am pretty happy with the way it turned out but feel it could have used something more. I am still working on figuring out how to do more and balance....It drives me crazy sometimes but I just have to keep learning how.

This was the picture to inspire the TCP challenge for Tuesday!

I am really excited that it is Saturday b/c that means two things MARCH MADNESS final four games (Go UNC!!!) and two days of sheer relaxation with no pressing plans.

I am off to start figuring out what stamps to create with today and watch the Sex in the City movie (AGAIN).

Have a Sweet Day

Hello everyone! I am glad it is almost the weekend so I have some downtime to create again! Being out of town last weekend really threw me for a loop. I like to try and post a couple times a week and I really had nothing done :0(. I did pull a few midnighters in an effort to get caught up but it didn't really work. The card I am sharing today is one of those late night creations. I made it with a Stamping Bella girl I picked up while I was out of town. I used black velvet ribbon along the bottom but it is hard to tell in the picture. I really love this saying by amuse. I think that it will work when you just wanna give a card to someone for no particular reason. I hope you enjoy it!

Got Huggabugs?

I always like that saying Got Milk? and thought it is appropriate here. I love love love these Huggabugg stamps from Stamping Bella and would probably get them all if my husband would allow it!

This was a layout from Jen Del Muro's Saturday sketch last week. www.iheart2stamp.com

Well I woke up late....so I can't really be too gabby today! I will update the card with the blog deets later.

Happy Thursday!

Fuzzy slippers and a bathrobe....can I get back in them today?

Hello! I am back.... Last night I stayed up way too late making cards and doing various other chores and now I am exhausted. Hope my cup of coffee does its thing this morning.

I made this card to participate in the MFT Who's that girl challenge this week! I like paper piecing and this is just the perfect set to do it with. I hope you like how it turned out.

Today....marks my official first day of my Pez-a-doodle design team! I have lots of new goodies from their website to play with. You can hop on over and check out all of their products at http://www.pezadoodle.com/!
