As it is with most of my cards I had no idea what the end result would be on this card, but as I went along it seemed to come together and this is what I ended up with! The stack of beads is one of my Big Lots finds. They are from Provo Craft and I love them! Yay for Big Lots! My poor blog has been neglected this week but I just haven't had a lot of time for card making. It isn't very easy to see from the pic but I used beads in the center of the flower. I've only used beads once before on a card, but now I think I will incorporate them more often. They add such a nice touch to a card. I hope everyone is having a great week! Two more days till the weekend, yippie!

I'm Gonna Rock Your World!

This is another card I made using my new "Cutietoots" stamps! I love this image and sentiment. It makes me laugh because it is soooo true. Babies do change everything, not neccasarily in a bad way, but you have to learn to do things in a different way. The papers I used are SU Wild Wasabi, and More Mustard, and the patterned paper is from the DCWV Baby Girl collection. It is tough to tell from the picture but I used a gold glitter pen to outline the word "rock", and to outline the 3-d guitar. I used my aqua-painter and inks to color in the guitar playin' baby. I love how this turned out!

Cutietoots Rubber Stamps!!

I recently discovered a SUPER cute Rubber Stamp company "Cutietoots" and I will be designing cards and other projects for them. Yesterday I received my stamp order and I am in LOVE! The quality of rubber is fantastic and the stamped image is sharp and clear. If you have any little ones in your life you should definitely check out their website!! I made this card using my DCWV papers, bazzil, and SU card stock. I colored in the stamped image with my prisma colored pencils. If you want to see more cards and projects using these stamps keep checking back because I will be adding new creations daily. Have a Happy Easter Weekend!

Easter Tulips!

Today's Color Challenge was to use Orchid Opulence, Sage Shadow, and Kraft. I hate Sage Shadow so I have never bought the ink pad. So, I used Mellow Moss instead! The set I used is an "ancient" one from 2000 called "Tulips". It was given to me and this is the first time I have ever used it! This card took me all morning to finish because Cam was being a grumpy bear today. Thank goodness he is napping right now!!

This was today's "Try a New technique" Challenge at SCS. The challenge was inking the negative side of the cuttlebug folder to give your image a nice deeply etched look. I used my SU set "Time Well Spent", and the colors I used on the card were Very Vanilla, Choco Chip, and Cameo Coral. I love that color combo!

I also want to remind everyone that I am offering FREE shipping with any Stampin Up order until March 31st! Orders can be shipped anywhere in the USA so please let me know if I can help you.

My little one has kept me busy the past few days so I have not had a lot of time for stamping but today I was able to grab enough free time to make this Easter Card. I am so loving my new Cuttlebug Folders!

Tuesday's Color Challenge

Hello! This is the card I made for today's color challenge. The 3 Colors in the challenge were "Purely Pomegranate, Basic Black, and Basic Gray. I had never used these colors together but I think they look quite lovely together. The stamps I used for my card were SU's "Butterfly of Happiness", and the Paisley, and Linen BG stamps. I stamped the butterfly on the white cs, and on a separate piece of CS. I then cut out the image and placed it on top of the same stamped image using foam dots for the 3-d effect. I'm happy with the way it turned out, and even happier that my baby boy let me play today! Thank you for checking out my blog!

As you can see I am just LOVING the new paper I bought "Baby Girl" from DCWV! This was the Splitcoast Challenge LSC 158 to use paper scraps to make a small card. My card is 4x4. I love this size for gift bags, and other goodies I often give to friends. The stamp I used is from the SU set "Riveting". Thank you so much for coming to check out my blog!

One More Try

This is my second try at yesterdays Sketch Challenge. I used the SU "Bundle of Joy" stamp set, and papers from the DCWV Baby Girl stack. I used my corner rounder to make the scallops, and the brads are from Joanns. I love that bunny!

I love doing Sketch Challenges because the sketch is already layed out and all I have to do is add my own spin to the layout. For this sketch I used the "A Little Birdie Told Me" SU stamp set. It is a fun set to use. The papers I used are from the new DCWV paper collection "Nana's Nursery Baby Girl". All of the papes are ADORABLE! DCWV also had a "Baby Boy" collection and you would think that since I have a baby boy of my own I would have bought but I didn't. It had a TON of purple in it. Purple for a boy? Strange. Anywho, thanks for coming to my blog!

This is a fun card I made using the Strawberry Shortcake and Friends stamp set I bought from "Stamp Affair" last year. The papers are from the new DCWV line "Baby Girl". All of those papers are adorable!

This is a card I made just for the "fun" of it this weekend using SU's "Priceless" Stamp set. As you can see from the picture I used only 3 colors, Whisper White, Purely Pomegranate, and Wild Wasabi. I used the coordinating stitched ribbon, and silver brads. I used a Cuttlebug Folder for the background. Man, I love those things, and I am on the hunt for the new ones! Thank you for checking out my card and have a GREAT weekend!
