Happy Tuesday friends. Just a quick post to share my creation that I made for the Sweet Stop sketch challenge . This time it was with a spin. The spin was to use dry embossing. I totally love my embossing folders. The one I used here is a Tim Holtz "Swirls" embossing folder. That is the one accessorie that I couldn't live with out. My embossing folders. So fun!!! The dress on the hanger and the sentiment are from an Inkadinkadoo stamp set. The bottom left with the ladies face, That is stamped not only on a clear button but also on white cardstock and I lined the face up and used liquid glass to attach the button to the cardstock. It is a really simple but pretty creation and I just wanted to share with you all. I am going to head out for now. Time for me to call it a night. I hope you all have a wonderful week and I'll see you all real soon!!

Hello Friends. I hope every one's New Year has been wonderful so far. Mine so far has been good. You know, the usual, Work, sleep, eat, on and on. LOL! Well, Here is a creation I made for Valentines Day. I have made about 10 of these so far for people at work. I absolutely love valentines day. Pink is my favorite color. That's why when I saw this challenge over at "The Paper Variety" which was to create a project using pink, I had to play along and this weeks sponsor is really cool too. It's Robyn from "My pink stamps " If you have never seen her videos, You have got to go and check them out. She is so adorable. I am really excited that I get to meet her at CHA in Los Angelas at the end of this month. So, for my creation, I used the tutorial I found on Splitcoast Stampers. Easy Peasy! I don't remember the maker of the DP that I used, It was a double sided though with the stripes on one side and the words on the other. The card stock is Bazzill i...

Happy New Year everyone. We are almost 1 hr. into 2011 and you know what I did for my new Years eve? I completed a sketch challenge! I had a great time doing it too. I don't do much partying so I am perfectly happy being home stamping and scrapping! I had the tv on in my craft room and listened to some LMN movies(lifetime movie network) and created. That is my perfect Friday night!!! So, onto the challenge.This sketch challenge is from Friday Sketchers . I have kind of slacked off in the sketch dept so I am starting the New Year off right by completing a challenge. My creation is for Valentines day. I have been buying the Valentines papers and stamps and such like a crazy person so time to put them to good use. The image I used is from Kraftin' Kimmie. All of the DP I used is from a Bo Bunny 6X6 stack called "Crazy Love collection"(I love Love Love those 6X6 stacks) The color scheme is Real red, Choc. chip and whisper white. The sentiment is a clear sticker from my s...

Hello everyone, Wow, Did Christmas just come and go or what? I knew it would. I wish Christmas Day would last more than 24 hrs. Just to be able to visit with and hang out with the family more. The only one thing that makes me ok with Christmas being over is Valentines day is just around the corner. Now that is my most Fave Holiday. I love the pinks and reds and hearts and glittery things. I feel so much more creative when it comes to making my Valentines day cards. So, from now until the end of Jan. you will see lots and lots of pink! This is my first Valentine challenge card that I have made this year. This sketch challenge is from Friday Sketchers . They always have great sketches and this one was no exception. I went to the scrapbook store today and did a little stocking up on red and pink and glittery papers and just cant wait to use them. On this creation, This DP is from Bo Bunny "Crazy love fudge & Flowers. Pink and brown are the best combo and this is what this DP has...

Wow, Only 3 more days until Christmas. Where does the time go? Well, I think this will be my last Holiday card for this year. This card was created for 2 challenges. The color Throwdown and Our creative corner . For The color throwdown, The colors are Riding hood red, Choc. chip/Kraft & Cert. celery. These colors work well together for the Holiday Theme. For "Our creative corner" the challenge was to add color and depth to dry embossing. For this, I used my brayer to add Choc. chip ink to my "Swiss dots" embossing folder. That is my most fave EF so I just had to use that one. Not only did I add it to the riding hood red Top note, I also added it to the punched corners. I also embossed the center cert celery "Labels one" nestie with D'vine swirls and once again used my brayer and colored the swirls with choc. chip. There you have it. 1 creation, 2 challenges. I hope you enjoy my creation ! I wish all of my blogging friends out there a wonderful Hol...

Hello all , It's been a while since I have created anything to share with you all and I have missed you all so much so here I am with a cool challenge creation that I created for Crazy for Challenges & Charisma Cardz Challenges For Charisma Cardz, there is a twist. No image, only sentiment. Sooo, this is what I have come up with. This was easy as I didn't have to do any coloring or shading, I just needed to find a sentiment that would take up the space on such a large card. This is a square 5 1/4 X 5 1/4. I love this DP that I used, It is from "October Afternoon" and is called Fill the stockings. I love this DP as there are so many colors on the backside that I can coordinate it with many other papers! I like it when that happens. I am so bad with putting colors together. I used my Nestabilities Beaded circles ad my smaller scallop circle to place the sentiment on. I also punched some of the peppermint candy looking circle out of the DP an added them around the s...
