Hanna meets Ginger (Blossom that is)

Hello again. I am slowly catching up.

Did you know that the most talented Beate is back and in full swing. She posted a weekend sketch challenge for us and as usual it was great. I did mine with Hanna. She is just the cutest little shopper. I paper pieced her dress and bags with the new designer paper from SU! and colored the rest of her in with copics. The paper is all SU!, the main image is stamped on confetti cream. The other colors used are textured river rock and smooth cameo coral and ruby red.

I used circle punches and scallop circle punch from SU! I highlighted Hanna's shoes with Sakura gelly roll stardust pen and I gave her a little shadow. The pic did not really pick that up. The ribbon is river rock double stitched available from SU! I used stickles on the heart. The sentiment is from MFT Essential Sentiments proving that they are essential.

Thanx for looking and any comments are appreciated but be nice I have feelings too. LOL!

Have a stamp happy day!

Baby girl

Good Monday to everyone. I just can't get my act together on the weekend. I seem to be so busy and can't take the time to post anything. I am behind again. Today my card is for the sketch challenge over at Amy's blog. She asked our opinion on what day to post the sketch and Friday won. Great now if I can get my act together and post sooner I will feel better.

I made this card because soon a new baby girl will be born and I would like to be ready (this is not the norm). I usually make the card on the way out the door to the event. I work better under pressure.

Anywhoo I used Bazill paper in pinks and the white is stampers select from PTI. The organdy ribbon is retired from SU! I colored with my copics and highlighted with a spica glitter pen but alas I was unable to capture that with the camera. No sun here today. The heart brads are from my stash so I do not know where from, the flowers are primas and the button is doodlebug. The stamps are from TAC and the congrats sentiment is from Stamping Bella.

You can find this sketch over at Amys blog it is labeled AMYRS9.

Have a stamp happy day!

Sunflowers

This card was made for the sketch challenge over at SCS this week (SC157). I did have to move one panel a bit and I guess that is against the rules. It was my first Sketch challenge with such strict guidelines and as I mentioned on SCS authority and I are not the best of friends.

I started with pumpkin pie as my base and used so saffron and retired designer paper for the other layers. My main image is stamped on stampers select from PTI and layered with old olive. I colored the image with my copics and added a dew drop. A little ribbon and some dimensionals and I am happy with the turnout. TFL Have a stamp happy day.

Snowbunny

Hello all! I think there is a light at the end of this cold tunnel. It is supposed to warm up here this weekend. I hope so b/c this cold weather is for the birds.

I made this card for the bella sketch challenge 09. You can find all of the challenges at the Stamping Bella Member Company Forum over at Splitcoast. I don't know what we stampers would do without Splitcoast.

I used Whisper White as my card base and designer paper from TAC. I stamped the main image on stampers select cardstock from PTI. I love that paper for coloring it is the best. I colored with my copics and then added some bling with my new shimmer chalks by Pebbles available through your TAC rep. I had to take so many pics to capture the shimmer. I hope everyone can see it. I sealed the chalk so that it would not rub off on everything it came in contact with. I also used a sakura gelly roll pen for more bling. The brad is from my paper pretties kit.

Thank you for looking. Have a stamp happy day!

MFT Sketch Challenge

Hello everyone! Another freezing cold day here in NEPA. But today is the end and then next week is going to be in the 50's. Crazy weather this winter. It was in the single digits over nite. Today I am posting the card I made for My Favorite Things Sketch Challenge 10. You can find these challenges over at SCS Member Company Forums. They are always lots of fun. My card is a bit late but I am trying to catch up from the holidays.

My second pic is a bit dark but I wanted you to be able to see her boots with the liquid applique on them. I love that stuff. I just ordered more colors from All that Scraps. What a great store that is.

I used all my supplies from my Pretties Kit to make this card. Novembers kit had such pretty stuff it just begs to be used. I colored with copics and used some dew drops that I got from Ellens store. Her coat is paper pieced. Everything got a little bling from a Sakura gelly roll pen.

I hope you have a stamp happy day!

More fun with Karen Lockhart stamps

Hi again. I wanted to post all of the cards I did yesterday so here is card #2.

I used another new stamp from Karen Lockhart. I just love these stamps.

For this card I used elegant eggplant, taken with teal and certainly celery. This color combo was inspired again by the ribbon. I have been hording this ribbon and don't know why it is so pretty it really should be used and besides if I use it then I have to buy more right? Good reason to shop right? Well anyway the dp is also from SU! and is certainly celery designer series prints. The white is from PTI. That cardstock is so nice to color on with copics. I also used some dew drops which were also new from Ellens store. No bling on this card I liked the flowers just the way they are.

This sketch is also from Amy over at http://prairepaperandink.typepad.com Thanx for the great sketches Amy!

I hope you enjoy and have a stamp happy day!

Happy New Year!

Hello everyone. I know it has been a while but I have been very sick and got nothing accomplished.

The kids went back to school today and the quiet is wonderful. I can think and type all at the same time. I enjoyed my time with them but stamping and kids don't really go well together. We played lots of games and lots of Wii. It snowed here a little bit so finally we got to sled. It was a great vaca but I am ready to get back to the regular schedule.

I did take some time yesterday to play with my goodies from Ellen Hutson which I have to say came super fast. I am talking ordered on December 27 and I got the box on December 29. I live on the east coast and her store is on the west coast. I am thrilled with the service they provide and you should see the stamps. I finally ordered some for myself with some birthday money.

I made this card to send to Ellen to thank her for the great customer service. I got my inspiration from the ribbon. It is from american crafts and has been sitting in a drawer just waiting to be used.

I used basic grey, orchid opulence and pixie pink from SU!. The white is stampers select from PTI. I colored the cupcake with my copics, also from Ellens store and highlighted with the spica glitter pens. The sentiments are from MFT Essential Sentiments. The dp is retired from SU! This card was a lot of fun and I am pretty happy with the turnout. You can't see the glitter very well in the pic but it is there. I also used the corner rounder and scallop circle punches from SU!

As always TFL and please share your comments on this card. Have a stamp happy day!

I forgot to add that this sketch was from Amy Rysavy and labeled AMYRS5. Thanx Amy!
