June Artwork

Here are a bunch of cards I made this month! TFL!

Its a bird, its a plane...no its Superbella!

This card was for a sketch challenge...finally used this Hero Arts flower stamp that I've had for years.

I picked up this tin for $2 at Michaels. I altered it for a Sweet 'N Sassy Stamps altered tin contest. I am using it to store all the images that I've been trading with friends. Its nice to have them all in one place instead of a bunch of envelopes all over the place!

Here is Walkabella for a blue/brown card swap. I used Waxy Flax to tie on the buttons. Haven't used it in forever, its usually much easier and quicker to stick them on with a glue dot!

Here is Lemon Lips by House Mouse. Its one of my favorites. I got these images from Sandy and I just loved it so much that I had to get the stamp for myself. I used Glossy Accents on the ice cubes, needed to give it a little extra something.

Another Walkabella. This one was for a brown/black card swap. I just love bellas, in case it hasn't been noticed!

My first Cakeabella! I used it for a sketch challenge and sent it to my friend Linda for her birthday :)
Another day, another sketch challenge. I also used it for a Favorite Flower swap. The set is Bee Happy from Sweet 'N Sassy Stamps.

This is one of my favorite cards! My favorite color - pink! Fun paper from DCWV. Stickles...what could be better?

And finally...a card for a Frog swap. Sketch is all my own! Finally used the Designer Label punch from Stampin Up. Its hard to find things to stamp in it.

Will Work for Stamps...

I altered this clipboard at a friend's yesterday. I got it as a Secret Santa gift from my friend, Maria. Thanks Maria!

Its not quite done yet. I still need to color the Stamping Bella in and then list my Top 5 favorite companies. I haven't finalized them yet so it hangs waiting for me to finish. I also altered a lunch box for my bellas, but I haven't finished coloring it yet and forgot to take a picture to post.

Have a happy scrappy day!

Welcome to the world Grace Elizabeth!

My niece, Grace Elizabeth, was born into this wonderful world this morning. Isn't she precious?! She is such a doll and I can't wait to watch her grow up. She is already adored by her two older siblings and parents.


Here is the card I made for her parents. I just love House Mouse stamps. Thanks to Terry for this cute image!

Block Island Birthday!

Today Mike and I took the ferry from New London over to Block Island, RI for the day. It was my first time there. Lots and lots of walking. Little shops to peruse. Many eateries. We ate at a pub for lunch and went to a cheesecake place for lunch. It was to die for...but sadly I forgot to take a picture of it before I ate it. The above picture is the Statue of Rebecca. Below are some scenery shots.




Here is the fella card I made for Mike:
Happy birthday baby!
