For Taylored Expressions Cupcake Challenge #50

Hi All:

Well, the card I’ve made today is for Taylored Expressions. It is a little larger than normal size cards, but that is totally so I could get every little thing I wanted on the card, on the card. Does that make sense? Okay, I used "Crazy for Cupcakes" from SU. Most of my paper is SU. I colored the cupcakes with watercolor pencils & used glitter pens on the sides of the cupcakes & on the cherry. There is a piece of vellum paper covering the yellow cardstock and it comes from The Paper Company. I have pop dotted the sentiment up a small bit. What a fun sketch! I totally enjoyed coloring the cupcakes! It made me wish I had one. Of course, I would want white cake with the chocolate icing. . . YUM! Okay, let’s get off this subject.

Thank you so much for stopping by and do so often! I hope you enjoy today’s card, and become inspired. Enjoy your day, and Happy Stamping!

A Winter Wonderland Scene!

This is a card made from a sheet of U-Cuts from Darcie’s Country Folks. I colored my trees to make them stand out and embossed the snowman. I then outlined the images with a black marker to cover the white edges. The U-Cut sheets are so cute. I need to get more of them.

I have been on a roll adding to my blog. I’m so happy to have the time to do it. It is also great to have the time to actually get to make some other things. Now, I’m working on Valentine’s Day. It is so much fun. Getting away from Christmas, is sad. There are so many neat stamps. I am, however, ready to move on to something else.

Okay, I’m getting to my craft room for some work time. I hope that you are having a stamping good day! Thanks for stopping by and do so often. Happy Stamping!

CPS & SNSS Challenges

Hi All!

Thought I would try to join in the above named challenges this week. What I really enjoyed is that you could join two with the same card. I have the worse time picking and matching colors, but I love Pink & Black together. The new Luvvie stamp from Funkykits.com is great for Valentine’s Day. This card could definitely be for Valentine’s Day. The "love you" on the front of the card is a rub-on remark from Lasting Impressions, and the sentiment on the inside is from SU. Not sure of the set. I used mostly SU papers, the Top Notch Die on the inside, along with Creative Memories Cutting System on the outside oval. There are two designer papers, but I’m not sure the name of the company they come from. Luvvie is colored with watercolor pencils, both Prismacolor & SU’s. I used Papertrey White Cardstock, which is so good. Luvvie also has an embossed heart, which I used light pink embossing powder. There is a mini green Queen & Co brad in the center of the flower in her hair.

Thank you so much for stopping by, and I hope you do so often. Until next time, Happy Stamping!

Looks Like a Police Line-up!

Getting together with my girlfriends this week, it was Tessie’s turn to make the project. She did well, and I had a great time making mine, even though I had an off night. We each chose our colors and colored our images. I always use watercolor pencils. I love the stamp on the card. It is from the set called Holiday Lineup, an SU set. I’m not all that happy with the way it turned out but I loved spending time with my friends, and that was the best part. I do love the stamp, though. It does remind me of a police lineup.

The tag was made from a pattern Tessie got from a web site. I messed mine up several times, and so this is what I finished with. It isn’t that much like what she printed off for us to do. I just got to the point where I was ready to get it finished. You know what I mean? I had made way too many mistakes. I was definitely having a bad night. I guess we all have those, but it is never easy to cope with. Another thing that threw me off, I hate wiggly eyes. It is one of those things that really bothers me. I wish I hadn’t used them, but I went on with the project, and never mentioned it to Tessie. The only way she will know is from reading this blog. Hi! Tessie!

Okay, I have to say that I’m happy you stopped by to see the things I have worked on. I hope you will stop back by often. Have a great day! Happy Stamping!

Toota-loo,
