Rainbows

Good Wednesday to you! I hope you are having a good day. I have a new image to share with you today, one of my illustrations from Sweet 'n Sassy Stamps called Rainbow Scene. I have a friend that wanted a Mother's Day card for her daughter that likes rainbows and this image was born:) I had to look up the correct order of colors because I wanted it to be accurate, so I believe it is;) I colored the image with Copics. Again, I kept it flat for mailing, but love adding the embossing and stitching so it still has texture and interest. I hope you like it! Thank you so much for all your sweet comments, they really do brighten my day:)

Sherrod Studio New Release

A new digi release over at Sherrod Studio today! A pretty set called Fluttering by that has a couple of sentiments and pretty butterflies. For my card I used the largest butterfly and colored it with Copics to match my Mind's Eye paper. Isn't that paper gorgeous? I added the sweet little sentiment, some ribbon and called it good:) The card was cut using my Cricut and Sentimentals cartridge. Love the scallops. I used an 1/8" hole punch for the tiny holes.

Be sure to visit the rest of the team (on my sidebar) to see what they did with the new release and hop on over to the Sherrod Studio blog too:)

Hope you are having a fabulous day! Thanks for fluttering by!

Little Love

I love this little hippo Snag'em Stamp that you can get for only $.075 cents at Your Memories Here! It makes great baby cards or even birthday would be cute. For my card I did another neutral gender baby card and added lots of little embossed squares to give kind of a quilt like feel. The Cuttlbug embossing folders I used were Swiss Dots and Moroccan Screen.

We had a fun weekend and my daughter's bithday party was wonderful, she loved the enitre thing:) Thanks for all the Birthday wishes!

Be sure to hop on over to the store and pick up a few goodies:)

A Good Book, A Good Friend

Here is a new image from SNSS, Milton Reading. Isn't he sweet there sitting under a flower enjoying a quiet read? *sigh* This is going to mailed to a friend who loves reading, so even though my card is fairly flat I still added lots of fun details. I hope you are having a wonderful Friday, anything fun planned for the weekend? We are celebrating my daughter's 2nd birthday, should be fun! Thanks for stopping by:)

Digi Day!

It's Thursday so that means digi day over on the Sweet 'n Sassy group at SNR. Come join us today and get a chance for a freebie digi and a challenge prize too:) I'mstamp for the challenge and decided to make a gender nuetral card. I used Copics hosting today and the challenge is baby! Couldn't be more up my alley for cards:) I used my Biride Delivery to color the image and added a Cricut cut sentiment, some faux stitching, embossing and of course a few dabs of Stickles. I hope you have a lovely day and thank you so much for stopping by:)

Tuesday Throwdown-Rock 'n Roll

No silly, not the rock 'n roll band kind...the ink kind! That's this week's Sherrod Studio challenge, to use the rock and roll technique. Such a fun, but pretty technique to do. I inked up one of the large blossoms from the Friendship Blossom set in 2 complimentary colors of ink and stamped it. Then I added some piercing around the flower to help it pop. The flower in the middle is one of my crocheted flowers with a sewn on button to finish it. I hope you'll hop on over to the Sherrod Studio blog to see the other DT's cards and check out the Sherrod Studio store too:) Thanks so much for dropping by!

Ice Cream, it's your Birthday!

Good Monday to you! I have a pretty little birthday card to share with you today using some fabulous Your Memories Here products. Isn't that icecream cone the sweetest? It's a snag 'em stamp as is the cute round, Happy Birthday sentiment. I also used some Dew Drops and pulled out one of my Cuttlebug Frills embossing border folders for my border strip. The paper is called Rosy Nook. I added some piercing around my image to make it pop a bit more and of course some Stickles. Hope you have a wonderful day and don't forget to check out the new things over at Your Memories Here. :)

For God...

It's Thursday and that means a challenge on the Sweet 'n Sassy groups over at SNR! For my card I used the really pretty digi stamp, Bible:John 3:16. I used Copics to color the image and used some of my CTMH paper. The pretty mat is made by cutting two of the Spellbinders Fancy Tags and to finish it off I added some paper piercing. I kept it simple and flat for mailing:) Be sure to come by the SNR SNSS group and join in the fun!

Praying for You

Good Wednesday to you! My card today uses the really pretty digi stamp from Sweet 'n Sassy called Fluttering By. I colored the image with Copics and added some stitching detail. The bodies of the butterflies have silver Stickles. In order to keep the card mailer friendly I used my hole punch to create faux brads. I hope you are having a great day and thanks so much for stopping by!

TT, Criss Cross Card

Today's Tuesday Throwdown challenge is to make a criss cross card. This was fun and easy to do:) I used the cupcake and cupcake border images from Birthday Ella set from Sherrod Studio. I colored my cupcake with Copics and added some Stickles for my frosting and topped it with a punched flower and rhinestone. Stop by the blog to see the rest of the DT creations and thanks so much for stopping by!

Paper Pieced Die Cuts

Good Monday to you:) My card today was the result of playing around with paper piecing some die cut images. It is a bit tedious and you end up cutting the same cut multiple times, but I think the results are fun and worth the time. This is a pretty simple card using A Child's Year cartridge that I paper pieced together. I would recommend when doing this technique and there is a skin tone color you need, to cut that as your base and build the rest around that. I used some products that you can find for a great price at Your Memories Here. The wonderful Swiss Dots embossing folder, a Prima flower and of course the Cricut cartridge. I hope you like it!

Bella and Baby

A sweet girl baby card to share with you today using one of my images from Sweet 'n Sassy Stamps called Bella and Baby. This thought for this image literally just popped into my head one evening when I was playing with my kids:) I colored the image with Copics and then added lots of Primas, some buttons, rhinestones and bow to finish it off. Be sure to stop by the Sweet 'n Sassy shop to see what' s new! Thanks so much for dropping by:)

TT, Pocket Card

Today's Tuesday Throwdown challenge is to make a pocket card. I am sure there are many ways you could do this, but for mine I cut a slit in the middle section of my main panel of paper with a craft knife and made a the tag that slips in the now made pocket. I used the Friendship Blossoms set and some MS punched butterflies. I hope you take a look at the other DT creations at the Sherrod Studio blog and maybe do some shopping at the Sherrod Studio store. Thanks so much for dropping by!

Mommy is my name

I so enjoyed creating this LO. I used lots of fun and pretty products on this LO, many that can be purchased at Your Memories Here. The Cricut cartridges I used were the spring mini, Mother's Day and Lyrical Letters and Home Decor. I also used my favorite Dew Drops and some Prima flowers. To add some extra texture I used the Swiss Dots and Damask embossing folders.

The paper is some of the prettiest I have ever seen and I am proud of myself for actually using it and not just hoarding it;) It's a piece from the DCWV Mariposa stack. All I can say is if you love butterflies and vintage colors you will adore this paper as much as I do. It was lovely to scrap a recent pic of me with my kids, don't you notice once you have kids you are never in any of the pictures?! I really enjoyed journaling about what the name "mommy" means to me and was reminded all over again how incredibly thankful I am that I get to be a mom. I hope you have a wonderful day, and thank you so much for your comments, they truly do brighten my day!

Thank You Card Set

Happy Saturday to you! Today I am sharing with you a thank card gift set I put together for a friend using some newly released images in the birth flower line from Sweet 'n Sassy Stamps. I stuck with the same layout for each card and just colored each image differently with my Copics. The paper is from K&Co. and the border punch is MS lace. Be sure to hop on over to the store and see what's new, and pick up an image or two while you're at it;) Have a beautiful day!

The Chair

Over at the Page Maps Blog there is a contest going on, so I decided to play along. I love the sketches from Becky Fleck so much, I am always inspired by them. This is my LO based on the sketch for this contest. We had just bought this sweet little chair for my daughter and I caught her reading a book on it all by herself, so sweet:) I used Lyrical Letters and Home Decor, Home Accents and Damask embossing folder.
