Cute Daisy Mae


Good morning, hope all is well with you. Today I have a card I made for the Cute Daisy Mae challenge. Their challenge this week was to use 3 of a kind. I did that 3 times over(lol), the flowers, bling, and dew drops. The image is of course Cute Daisy Mae. The CS is Bazzill Bling, the DP is MM. I colored with prisma pencils, and added some garden green ink around the image. This card also uses the sketch from A Spoon Full Of Sugar. And it also qualifies for Digital Tuesday Challenge which is a recipe-1 digi image, 2 dp's, and 3 embellishments!!! So hope you like, and thanks for looking. Don't forget that tomorrow is a sneak peek of a new release from The Character Cafe'. Monday July 20th The Character Cafe' will be having another blog hop, to show all their new releases. So make sure you stop by and say Hi, and of course pick up some new adorable images! Have a great day!

Cupcake Craft Challenge and Mojo Sketch


Good afternoon, hope all is well with you. I'm having a very relaxing day, ALL of my kids are gone to their cousins house to play all day!!! WOO HOO!!! I'm so lovin this! So, this card is for the Cupcake Craft Challenge and the Mojo Monday Challenge. I just received my first Magnolia stamp from a ss swap on SCS. I cannot tell you how excited I was to get this. At first I didn't like these stamps because of the whole no mouth thing. But they keep growing on me, and I finally decided I wanted one. Although, I did not ask for a stamp, just some images. But, my wonderful ss sent me a stamp-yay me!! I can't tell you the specific name, because I can't find one on the pkg. The red CS is bazzill, and the DP is DCWV fun in the sun glitter stack. I colored her with prisma pencils and blender pencil. I used a MS butterfly punch, with a flower on the bottom. The ribbon is from the dollar tree. I used scallop scissors for the edges. The challenge for the cupcake craft blog is blossoms and butterflies. Hope you like it and thanks for looking.


YAY!! It's finally here-Sketch Girls #1


Good morning, hope all is well with you. YAY!!! I'm so excited! Today is the first day of the Sketch Girls Challenge Blog! So make sure you head over there to check it out. Like I said Today is the first day of the sketches, and there will be another one every 2 weeks. Ok, now my computer is being not very nice and won't let me highlight anything, so If you click on the picture of the sketch on my left side bar it will take you to the blog. I don't know what the heck is going on, but I'm getting frustrated already!!! So, onto my card. Annie did our first sketch(again go to her name on my sidebar). I decided to do a gatefold card. I used an image from Rachelle Anne Miller, and colored with prisma pencils and blender pencil. All CS is Bazzill Bling Line, and DP is MM. I used the square scallop nestie to mat the image. The ribbon is from my stash and either from Michael's or Wal-mart. I used prima's in the corner and the jewels are from Michael's. Make sure you check out the other girls creations, and show them some love. Have a great day!

Squigglefly Challenge #10


Good morning, hope all is well with you. Today is the 10th challenge over on the squigglefly blog!!! Rhonda was the hostess with the mostess this week and gave us the challenge of using 1oval, 1square, ribbon, and glitter. So much better!!!! For this weeks' challenge I used the image called "flowermice". Isn't it the sweetest! I colored with my copics, and cut around the image-there was too much white space for me. I used my nestabilites to cut the rectangle, and the ovals. CS is bazzill bling, and the green dp is DCWV, and the polka dot is MM. I cut the corners with my circle punch, and the ribbon is from Michael's. I added some stickles and voila' it's done! If you haven't been over to squigglefly lately, run, don't walk! They've added a ton of new images-all adorable! Have a wonderful day, and don't forget to go to the squigglefly blog to play along, their are prizes to be won!

Squigglefly Challenge #9


Good evening, hope all is well with you. This post is for the Squigglefly Challenge #9. Kim was in charge of the challenge this week, and let me tell you it is a doozy!!! She gave us the challenge of making a one layer card with only one embellishment(holy cow)! I don't know if I've ever made a one layer card, so this was definitely a challenge for me. I decided to use a sentiment which did make it a little bit easier. The sentiment is of course from Squigglefly, and called "bee happy". I just inserted it into microsoft office and from there could re size it. I colored with my copics and added some polka dots to the word "happy" with my gel pen. I added stickles to the wings and along the trail of the bee. I finished it off with some polka dot ribbon with knots on each end. The ribbon is from Michael's. So if you really like challenges I suggest you try this one. Thanks for looking, and have a wonderful evening!

The Character Cafe' Feature Friday Week 3


Good morning, hope all is well with you. WOW! I just realized that I haven't posted anything for a whole week. We got so busy with the holiday and family that it just got away from me. But today I have a card for you from The Character Cafe'. This image is called FairyBelle, isn't she adorable!!! The Cs is Bazzill bling line, and the dp is all from my stash(sorry)! I colored this little fairy with my copics, and addled a little stickles for accents! When you buy this image it comes in pdf format also, and that one has the extra wings on it that are slightly larger than the image. I used those behind the image and bent the actual wings up a bit. Hope that made sense, it's very late, and I'm tired(haha)! I popped her up on dimensional pop dots to make her look like she's floating through the air! I added some dew drops and pretty ribbon and voila', there she is! Don't forget that The Character Cafe' has Work It Wednesday, which is a tutorial done by the DT and also a challenge to go along with it. There are prizes, and of course it's lots of fun! Also make sure you check out the other DT members blogs for their projects for today!

TCC Feature Friday Week 2


Good morning, hope all is well with you. Today is the 2nd week of Feature Friday at The Character Cafe. I have used the Princess Ally image. She is the cutest! When I decided to use her, I immediately thought of Belle from Beauty and the Beast. So, this is my interpretation of it. All CS is Bazzill, and the CS is DCWV Fairy tale stack. I used the sketch from Mojo Monday. The flowers are from my LSS, and the ribbon is from Michael's. The sentiment is computer generated and cut out and matted with my nesties. I'm not sure where the little jewels are from, I found them in all of my stuff. I colored her with copics, and added the gold glitter with a spica pen. Make sure you check out the other DT's projects for today. And don't forget about the Work it Wednesday feature on the TCC blog. Thanks for stopping by today!

Squigglefly Blog Hop Day 2



Good morning, and welcome to the Squigglefly Blog Hop Day 2. If you've arrived her from Holly's blog then your on the right track. If you didn't then you need to go to Amanda's blog to start the hop. So, business first! If you haven't checked out Squigglefly lately, you need to get over there. They've released lots of new images. And they've started two new things. First, for the month of July they will donate 50% of sales out of the "animals" category to the ASPCA. Second, starting very soon they will be doing a rewards program. For every 15 dollars that you spend, you get to choose a free image. It can be any image you want, no restrictions! How cool is that? And of course since this is a blog hop, their are prizes. Squigglefly will give 3 images to one person that leaves a comment on all of the blogs today. (they did the same thing yesterday).




Ok, now that all of that is said, onto the card! Today's card uses the image "A surprise from Sara". I immediately fell in love with this image for 3 reasons. First she has my name, even spelled the same way. Second, she looks just like strawberry shortcake-to me. Third, she reminds me of my youngest daughter, Sabrina. I colored her with prisma pencils and blended with the prisma blender. I added some diamond glaze to the sun and clouds. The CS is Bazzill, and all dp is DCWV stack 5. The ribbon and bling is from Michael's. I did add a little bit of stickles here and there. I used the sketch from card patterns. So, hope you like it and thanks for hopping along with us. Now, you need to go to Shelly's blog for more fun!!!

Sassy Studio Designs Card


Good evening, hope all is well with you. Tonight I have a card that I made using a digi image from Sassy Studio Designs. The image is called "Cell Phone Cindy". Isn't she cute? It so reminds me of my girls, although they are mostly texting, but you get the idea. I colored her with prisma pencils, and add some stickles here and there. I used a sketch from Our Creative Corner. The CS is Bazill bling line, and the dp is unknown. It was already cut up and the name gone. On the pink panel I used a Studio G stamp and stamped it in CTMH denim blue and in versamark. The "Call Me" sentiment is from Studio G as well. The ribbon is from the Dollar Tree. I added a few buttons, and voila' it's done. Thanks for looking, hope you like it. Please don't forget that tomorrow is the first ever Work It Wednesday on TCC's blog. This will be a weekly challenge with a prize given away. Also tomorrow they are offering a "freebie" for you to play with, so have fun, and create fun. Oh, one more thing! Squigglefly is having their blog hop starting tomorrow with 1/2 of the DT, and the other 1/2 on Thursday. They also will be giving prizes. They've started something new too. For the month of July they will be donating 50% of sales to the ASPCA. This applies to images found in the animals category. Also they are starting a rewards program, for every 15 dollars that you spend, you get 1 free image! How cool is that! So make sure you visit both of these blogs and have fun.

Squigglefly Challenge #8-An ATC


Good morning, hope all is well with you. Today is challenge #8 over on the Squigglefly Blog. Rhonda's challenge for us today is to make an ATC. I just started making these little things, and I have to tell you-I'm hooked. They are so much fun. They're a little harder for me, because you have such a small space to work with. But, lots of fun. And they are perfect for digi images, because you can re size the images to anything you want. I used the "Pixie" image for this one, isn't she adorable! I cut my CS down to the 3 1/2 x 2 1/2 size and went from there. I can't tell you where the CS is from because it got sent to me from a secret sister. The burgandy and pink are bazill, and the white is GP. I used my only corner punch(really need more of those) for the corners, and then wrapped wire with a few beads on it around the whole thing. So, make sure you check out squigglefly for adorable images. They've just added a whole bunch of new one's too. Also don't forget about the squigglefly blog hop on July 1st and 2nd.

Cupcake Craft Challenge #45




Good morning, hope all is well with you. Today I have a card that I made for the Cupcake Craft Challenge. I also have been able to participate in these challenges in awhile. For this card I used a stamp set that my mom sent to me for my birthday. It's from Our Craft Lounge and it's called "Bubbles". I LOVE turtles, which I'm sure most of you know by now, so this set was perfect for me. I LOVE it! I finally got to use it, and this is what I came up with. I colored everything with my Koh-I-Noor pencils and blended it with the prisma blender pencil. The CS is Bazill, and the DP is from Miss Elizabeth, which you get at the dollar tree. I added some Diamond Glaze to look like bubbles(i think) with a glitter gel pen around them. The ribbon is from my stash, and i added the dew drops to the side. I also added a piece of the DP inside and stamped the saying"you're a star" on a star I cut out with my nesties. Hope you like it, thanks for looking. Don't forget about the Squigglefly blog hop on July 1st, and 2nd. Also, don't forget about the first "Work it Wednesday" from The Character Cafe, which is also on the 1st. They will be having a "freebie" for you also. Have a wonderful day!

House Mouse Challenge #43




Good morning, hope all is well with you. I've finally done another House Mouse Challenge. It seems like forever since I've done one. This week they had a sketch, and I love to do sketch challenges. And since I actually got to do this one, I went all out and made a card and a note book. WOO HOO!!! The card is made using the "Pop-ular Fun" stamp. I colored it with my prisma pencils and blender pencil. I cut the image out with my nesties, matted on green Bazill paper that I ran through the cuttlebug with an embossing folder. I sanded it a little bit to make it look distressed. The CS is Bazill, and the DP is DCWV. Both circles were cut out with my nesties and ran through the cuttlebug with the swiss dots embossing folder. The ribbon is from my stash, and I added some dew drops on the top and bottom of the circles. The note book uses the same DP, but the CS is from Michael's. The stamp for this one is "Balloon Journey". I also used my nesties to cut these out. I added my own polka dots to the circle and then went over them with stickles. I went around the green part with my glitter gel pen. The ribbon is again from my stash, and I also added dew drops to this one. Thanks for looking and don't forget about The Squigglefly blog hop starting July 1st, and then also the 2nd. And, don't forget about The Character Cafe's Work it Wednesday starting July 1st. Have a wonderful day!
