As Sweet As Can Be

Good morning! This is going to be a quickie post...sorry for the hurry! I am soooo stressed out...interviewing for a new staff person this week and my stress level is rather high...bear with me! Today's card I had created some time ago and never got it posted! Thought it might be a cute baby girl card. The embossing is a folder from Sizzix called Just as Sweet as Can Be...I cut the embossed areas apart and separated them. I chalked and matted the sentiment and used an SU marker to color the embossed area of the border. Sorry I really don't remember where the paper came from as it was in my stash of scraps! The flat pearls are from Pizzazz Aplenty. Speaking of Pizzazz Aplenty....you HAVE to check out their special for this week! Judy is having a BUY ONE GET ONE FREE

sale as the special this week! And she has gotten so many new products in! Geez, I want everything! I never really had a stash of "bling" until I was introduced to Pizzazz Aplenty. Now I am building my stash and you have seen many of the items I have purchased. Tomorrow's card will have even more samples of their wonderful products so stay tuned! Well, I need to run! Bless you all for stopping in to see me and thank you so much. You know I will be by to see you tonight I hope! Have a great day today and happy crafting!

HUGS!

Friends are Flowers

Well I am running a little behind! This card I had created for Stef's sketch challenge at The Stamping Boutique a few weeks ago and didn't get it posted in time...so I am going to show it to you now. This image is Sunflower Girl...it is so cute and fun to create with. I colored the image with my SU markers...not real fond of how they color but I just don't have a huge assortment of copics yet. I added the sentiment around the image. Hope everyone is fine...with all the snow we have gotten in the last few days I know it headed east...so to all my eastern friends I hope you are all doing ok. Wow you really got socked. I will be back tomorrow with a new card for this weeks sketch challenge. ON TIME! LOL...thanks so much for stopping by and leaving some love!

HUGS,

Squigglefly card

Well, I did make it back today! Better late than not at all! The card posted above was done with an image from Squigglefly...this image just spoke to me and my second passion...gardening! Oh how I would love to have a potting shed like this. Anyhooo, I colored the image with SU markers...no copics on this one. Tried to create the impression of a worn but loved potting shed. The image was mounted on SU card stock punched with MS Lace Border punch. The sentiment is from SU as well. It is very hard to see in the pic but I also did some scoring on each side of the image with my scor pal. Hope you enjoyed your visit and thanks for coming back to see me tonight. Tomorrow will be a Stamping Boutique challenge so be sure to come by to see what we have cooked up for you and join in the fun! Bless you all...

HUGS,

Season's Greetings

Today is a sweet day for my friend Stef! She has been working hard at creating her own digital stamps and has a few for sale. I couldn't resist the temptation so I ran to get a few. The card base is a Sizzix embossing folder called Poinsettia Corners...I found it so appropriate for Stef's beautiful image. I used Star Dust Stickles to add some bling to the embossing. The image was colored with a combination of Copic and SU markers. I cut out the top layer of the image and pop dotted it to the original colored image to give it a little dimension. The greeting is a collection of stamps purchased from Joanne Fabrics last Christmas. I am really liking how this one turned out. Thanks so much for stopping by to see me...I hope to be able to come see all of you tomorrow.
