A Bouncing Baby Buggy

Happy Black Friday!

Did you shop til you dropped? I certainly did, lots of good deals out there and I managed to get everything on my list (and then some lol!!)

I'm sharing a card that I made a few weeks ago for a friend of mine on a Yahoo group. When I saw this adorable bouncing buggy from Squigglefly, I had to get it.

The new one did baby's room in black and white and it looks so very cool. When I found this Imaginisce paper in my stash, I knew it was perfect!

Here is the SFYTT sketch that I used.

And for once, I decorated the inside.
The sentiments are from the Congrats set from Stampin' Up. First time inked!

Supplies Used:
Stamps: Bouncing Buggy ~ Squigglefly, Congrats ~ Stampin' Up
Paper: Imaginisce
Ink: Memento (for the inside), copics: RV11, N7
Accessories: Marvy Extra Giga Scallop Punch, zig writer, SU corner rounder, EK Success scalloped border punch, stardust stickles

Thanks for looking!

Happy Thanksgiving!!

Happy Thanksgiving Everyone!!

When I think about this last year, I get all teary eyed....happy tears, of course! I have so much to be thankful for this year...wonderful family and friends, without them I don't know where I would be...they have helped me become the person I am today. I am thankful for my new house and engagement. I am thankful that I am still working. I'm thankful for the wonderful online community of friends I have made and to those that have helped me grow as an artist this year. Your encouragement and support means the world to me!

Here are the last of the Thanksgiving cards to share:

Here is Riley with his turkey. The layout was a sketch challenge in one of my card groups. My favorite thing is the buttons, I finally bought some Scrapper's Floss to finish them off.

This is Indian Sadie from C.C. Designs. I used Unscripted Sketches #31 for the layout.

And last, but not least:

This adorable mouse is from Great Impressions. I bought him last year and never used him. I couldn't let another holiday go by without making a card with him. The layout is TESC91.

I hope you have all a blessed holiday!

More Fall Cards!

*2nd post for today - please scroll down to see this week's Flutter By Challenge*

Before I start with the 25 Days of Christmas on December 1st, I wanted to be sure to share with you some fall cards that I made over the last few weeks.

I love how this card turned out. I had a great time coloring it.


Last Riley with pumpkins for this year :) I used Sketch #39 from Card Patterns.

If you'd like any of the other design details, please email me or ask in the comments section.

Enjoy the rest of your day!

Flutter By Wednesday #85

Welcome to Flutter By Wednesday #85!

Today's challenge is to use a circle or circles with a butterfly, fairy or angel. If you'd like to play along with us, please link your card or project to Danni's blog.

I would like you to meet Miles, this cutie is from Mo's Digital Pencil. When I saw him, I knew I had to have him and share him on a Flutterby day.

I saw it as a personal challenge to include as many circle elements as possible lol. So I started by punching the image out with my Extra Giga Marvy Scallop Circle punch and then I picked this neat layout by Sketch Saturday.

I would have loved to make a circle card, but I haven't figured out how to do that yet since I don't have a circle cutter. I do have Cricut Design Studio, but I've never used it lol. Any advice out there on how to make one? Since I couldn't do the circle card, I did the next best thing and used my CM circle punch, brads and made dots with one of my copics. The plain circles were driving me nuts, so I stamped the Hi (from Hi There!) and butterflies from my Hero Arts Thinking of You set, one of my go-to sets.

Please be sure to visit my Flutterby teammates, links are on the left sidebar. I promise I'll make my rounds this week, girls!!

Today will be a busy day. I'm moving more stuff out of my parents' in the morning and then hopefully finishing the trim painting in the craftroom so I can start setting stuff up, while I wait for the electrical to be finished and the shelving to go up in the closet.

Supplies Used:
Stamp: Flutterby ~ Mo's Digital Pencil, Hero Arts
Paper: Basic Grey Marrakech
Ink: Memento
Copics: E00, E25,E27,Rv21,N7,E41,B37,G99,R29,YR68, colorless blender (on the overalls)
Accessories: CM circle punch, brads from stash, Marvy scallop punch, SU corner rounder

Have a great day! Thanks for fluttering by!

A Magnolia to share

This is a cute Magnolia card that I made a few months ago and never shared.

I'm not sure which Tilda this is, but I got the image from my good friend, Sandy, who loves Tilda as much as I do. I used SC243 for the layout, very fun sketch to work with! My favorite part of this card is the sparkle and bling :)

Supplies Used:
Stamp: Magnolia Stamps
Paper: Basic Grey Eva
Copics: RV13, E33, Y32, Y35, C1, R01, V17
Accessories: stardust stickles, Kaisercraft rhinestones

Thanks for stopping by! Be sure to come back tomorrow for Flutterby Wednesday!
