Flutter By Wednesday #76 with SC247

Woohoo, I did 2 challenges in the same week that they were posted!!!

I just had to do Danni's Flutter By Wednesday challenge. Its still her birthday month and you can enter to win a sweet digi image designed for her by Christy Croll, I so want it!!

Here is my card:
I used SC247 for the sketch, it fit perfectly with the image (by Unity!) I picked out of my stash and was perfect for layering with this Basic Grey Urban Prairie paper. Copics used are B02, RV14 and Y32. I embellished the card with Crystal Stickles and prima flowers. The cute mini flower brad is by Making Memories.

Thanks for looking!!

What's this??? A new post from me!!

Yes, I am finally posting!!! Wow, I can't believe its been over 2 months since my last post!

Life has just been super busy...crazy and awesome and everything in between!! I bought a house and will hopefully have a new craft room to share in a few months! I also got engaged!

I had the opportunity to create some cards over Labor Day weekend (Thanks Pat!!)...and I also did a few over the summer. Hoping to share them all here eventually.

This card was created using a Whimsy stamps image from a swap I participated in ages ago. The stamps are packed up so I am happy to have a huge stash of images to work with. I used a sketch from Taylored Expressions which can be found HERE.

Isn't he adorable?! I just had to add Glossy Accents to his shell, it made him pop!

What I used:
Stamps: image from someone else (Whimsy Stamps), sentiment (Hero Arts)
Paper: BG Sultry, Georgia Pacific
Ink: Memento
Copics: YG25, YG67,B21, B23, T3, E43
Acc: Fiskars scallop border punch, Ranger Glossy Accents

TFL!! I'll post again soon!

Flowahbella x5

This will be a loooong post! Last month I participated in an MMM card swap, Marvelous Monday Mailers. The challenge was to use the same stamp or stamp set on the 5 cards. I chose to use Flowahbella from Stamping Bella since she is one of my favorite stamps. I love how she looks different in all of the cards, yet at the same time it was a little tough coming up with a new idea each week LOL!

I'll show each card and link to the sketch I used and then show supply lists at the bottom.

Happy 4th of July!

I hope you all had a great day with family and friends. I had a nice quiet day at home and then I went to the fireworks with my mom and boyfriend. IKEA (where Mom works) was a sponsor and had a tent and front row seating for us, it was very cool!

Here are a few cards that I created a few weeks ago. I'm not sure who makes the images as they were sent to me by a friend, I think they are very cute.


I used sketches for these but I can't find my notebook to give credit, sorry!

Last night, my boyfriend and I went to see his hometown fireworks, here are a few pics:

Not too bad...I think tonight's were better, but I'm too tired to download and resize them right now. I think I got enough decent shots to have some good scrapbook pages for this year.

Goodnight!

Stamptacular Sunday #13 - Party Animal

As soon as I saw this challenge on Sunday, I immediately knew that I wanted to use the penguin stamp from the TCP Smells Like Cake set. Don't they look like party animals lighting up that yummy cupcake?

I decided to make my first gatefold card...I have to say it didn't turn out quite like I expected. I think I finally figured out the problem, the sentiment is too big to cover just a tiny bit of the main image (which is why I moved it to the bottom!). I'll have to try it again soon and see if I can get it to close!

I also decorated the inside a bit since it peeks out from the front.

The Recipe:
Stamps: Smells Like Cake ~ The Cat's Pajamas
Paper: DCWV Sweet Stack, GP, brown (stash)
Ink: Tuxedo Black, Angel Pink ~ Memento, Copics ~ Y32, E57,R43,R81,YR16
Accessories: Labels One Nestabilities, stardust stickles
