Hello! I hope you are all having a wonderful weekend!! I am looking forward to the wonderful temps that the weathermen are telling us are coming this way.I can't believe we are already to the end of May. School ends this coming week, and I am really looking forward to having that time with my girls. Also, coming later this week is one of my closest friends. Her and her husband will be spending the next two weeks with us while they await their first grandbaby!! So, for this week's 365 Cards Challenge we were given a new prompt word each day, and today's happens to be "light." So, I used an adorable stamp by this week's sponsor, Sparkle Creations . It is called Cupcake Ruby and you can find her here . I have been coloring in my images so much lately, I thought I would take a break and leave it just stamped. For the "light part of the card, I used my glitter pens to color in the flame and make some flare around it. I really don't know what I would do wi...

Hello! Glad you could join me today for my next inspirational project for Market Street Stamps ' Sketch Challenge 2. I had a lot of fun with this weeks sketch. Though it is pretty simple as a sketch, there was an added twist to use a background stamp as an embellishment.  Here is the sketch: And here is my card. I used the Woodgrain background and stamped onto some patterned tissue paper, then punched them out with a scalloped circle. I layered then, put a brad through the middle, scrunched up each layer, unfurled them, and wallah! super pretty flower. I then added some bling for some added pop. I then took a scrap piece of the green cardstock and placed a piece of painters tape where I wanted my sentiment to go, then stamped the Woodgrain background on the piece of paper. Finally, I took off the painters tape and stamped the sentiment. Hopefully you can tell, I took my clear glitter pen ans traced over the letters for a little extra sparkle.

Today's challenge is: use a bunny on your card, or use the word "hop" in your sentiment - anything goes as long as you are thinking about "bunnies"! I chose to use Eggstraspecial Bunny by this week's sponsor Digital Delights by Looby Lou . I think she turned out "eggstrordinary." Thanks for stopping by today!!!

Welcome to another post featuring Market Street Stamps ! I once again used the set Hippie Chic, which I love oh, so much. It makes me happy!! What I did today was repetition stamping. It's great for those medium to small stamps that you love to use, and don't want a whole lot of white space. If you haven't gotten a chance yet, check out the Color Cue Challenge that Market Street is hosting. You can find that here . You have a chance to win the Loopy Loo background stamp and an XL background block.

Hello, all! I hope you are having a wonderful day. Today, I am bringing you a card using Blast Off from Market Street Stamps . This set is so adorable and fun to use. I, myself do not have the pleasure of having any boys, but I do have some nephews who I know will totally enjoy anything I make with this set. For the background I used, of course, one of my favorite techniques, blending, using Distress Inks. The colors I used were Tumbled Glass, Weathered Wood, Faded Jeans, Broken China and Black Soot. After it was nice and blended I took my Marshmallow Glimmer Mist and sprayed it across the background to give it the Milky Way look. I then stamped and cut out the stars and outlined them. For the rocket, I used my Copic markers and added some sparkle to the flames with an orange Spica pen. I hope you enjoy!!!

Here are a couple of quick cards using one of Unity's Itty Bitty stamps. I love using them. They are so cute and you can easily whip up some fast projects or use great detail on them. For today, I used the "Sweet as a Bowl of Cherries." The first one is a 4x4 card. I stamped the bowl onto kraft cardstock and used my Copics and Spica pen, then added the October Afternoon patterned paper. Around the edges of the patterned paper, I used my peircing tool to string the twine through. The second card is a 3x3. I again stamped the bowl and colored it in using Copics and then just simply wound some twine around the front.  Card Recipe Card 1 Patterned Paper: October Afternoon  {Seaside collection} Ink: Tim Holtz Distress Ink Markers: Copic Glitter Pens: Atyou Spica Twine: Rusty Pickle Card 2 Ink: Momento Markers: Copic Glitter Pens: Atyou Spica Twine: The Twinery

Welcome to my last post as a guest designer for Peachy Keen Stamps . I am very sad to see my week end, but I had such a great time. I would like to thank you all for stopping by to visit and for all of the wonderful comments. For my last project I decided that I was going to make one last card. I am normally a scrapbooker, at least have been for quite a long time, but lately cards just seem to pull to me, so I have been going with it. I used the St. Patrick's Day stamp set. For the backgrounds, even though my pictures don't show it very well, I used a variety of sprays for added texture and shimmer. They were used on the base card as well as the lighter green up top. I then used my Copics and Spica pens again to enhance the images. One final time, I would like to thank you all for being here with me this week. I hope you enjoyed the projects that I have shared. Don't forget to leave a comment here and over at the Peachy Keen blog in order for your chance to win the Valent...

Welcome back to day number two!  I am so happy to see you all back here for my Guest Design Team spot for Peachy Keen Stamps . For today's project I will be using the Tuesday Sketch Challenge from the Challenge Blog . I used the Cheers and Green Beer stamp set for my card. I have been so focused lately on Valentine's Day that I have completely blocked out St. Patty's Day! But here is a card to remedy that. I used my Copic Markers to color in the images and used my Spica Glitter Pens for added definition. I am glad to say that I think I am finally getting the hang of these markers. I masked the coins to give a continuous border of them and used a pop dot under the mug of green beer. Don't forget to leave a comment here and at the Peachy Keen Blog for your chance to win the Valentine Cupids stamp set! Thanks for stopping by!!!

A happy hello to you all on this wonderful night! If you made it here from the Market Street Blog you are in the right place. If not, start out on the blog here  and I will see you again in just a bit. Welcome to the Market Street Stamps January Release and Design Team Celebration Blog Hop. The projects you will see along the way are Designer's Choice, so they might not necessarily all be using the new sets. This month kicks off Market Street's journey of monthly releases. Angelica will be releasing new sets on the last Friday of every month, and the design team and guest designer of that month will be doing sneak peeks leading up to that day. She will also be adding some VersaMagic Dew Drop inks to the store . Now, on to my project! The card I am sharing with you tonight is made with the brand new set Celebrate Cake. This set has a lot of amazing elements to give you such a variety in what you can make. I stamped the images using Momento Ink and drew on the stripes using my C...

Sorry this wasn't posted yesterday, but I was a lot busier than I had anticipated. Here are some projects I made using Peachy Keen Stamps . The owner, Kathy, is so very talented and she always comes out with the cutest stuff! Don't forget to go to Monday's post and leave a comment and become a follower if you are not already one for a chance to win, win, win a set of Snow Cuties 1 1/8" from Peachy Keen Stamps! For all three of the cards, I used Echo Park's Merry Christmas line. For this first card I used the Lorie and Al Gingerbread Set for the image and the saying is from the Bite Me Ginger set. I also used Peapod twine from The Twinery, my white Signa Uniball pen for the frosting, and Copic Markers to color in the image. The saying and image was stamped using Memento Rich Cocoa. On this next card I used the Bite Me Ginger set again. I used Copic Markers to color in the image, a Spica Pen to color in the heart, and on the frosting areas I used Diamond Sti...

Here is a new card using a couple of Market Street Stamps new background stamps. I used Bit of Burlap and Perfectly Pretty Grid . I wanted the distressed look with the Bit of Burlap, so I randomly pounced my ink pad on the stamp, then stamped on the orange cardstock with it. I think it turned it out even better than what I was hoping for. On the green cardstock I randomly stamped bits of the Perfectly Pretty Grid around the edges. And of course the robot is Robo Star , also from Market Street Stamps. The yellow patterned paper is from Cosmo Cricket. The twine up on top is from The Twinery . I totally heart the the colors that they have in stock. I have been using it on just about everything I am making these days. In the close up, I hope that you can see that I used the Atyou Spica markers. It adds the perfect amount of glimmer in the small places. I also used Copics to fill in the star and the area around it and layered the yellow Spica on the star. More projects using Market Str...
