Happy Birthday, Grace!

I made this card for my cousin Grace who will be turning 10 in August. I have to mail her gift to her because she lives so far away. Being the girly girl she is, I thought it was time to get her into Vera Bradley, so I got her a Cupcakes Pink lunchbox, and my Mom got her a matching purse and change purse. I wish I could be there to see her open it!

I made this card using the card sketch from Let's Scrap for this week. I stamped this Sophie image from Paper Pretties, paper pieced her dress and colored her with Copics. The dp is by Basic Grey (Gypsy). The sentiment is from a new SU! set, and the felt flower is also from SU!.

Just for Fun!

Hello! We have a snow day today because of the snow storm that hit the eastern part of our country last night and this morning! It's still snowing a bit, but that doesn't stop anyone, does it? Cars are flying by right outside my window. Sometimes I wish they'd all stay home and let the snow accumulate on the roads so that we could get another snow day out of it! Oh well, a girl can wish, right?

I had this image left over from last night at the Prettie Pajama Party, so I thought I'd make an Easter card with her.  This is the Sophia from the Bunny Hop set, which was just released last night on Paper Pretties.  I colored her with my Copics, and added some Doodlebug glitter to her bunny ears and the eggs in her basket.  I used the Delicate Dots dsp, which is available through the Sale-a-bration promotion that SU! is currently holding.   I layered some SU! punches for the sentiment panel.  The final touch was some ribbon tied around the corners of the bottom layer.

I'll be back later with a Mojo Monday card, enjoy the rest of your day!

Prettie Party

Good evening! I've been having fun tonight participating in some of the challenges on the Paper Pretties Pajama Party.  I thought I'd share my creations with you all!

The first challenge was to use colors inspired by your favorite cartoon. I chose The Little Mermaid, and pulled out the colors red, green, and purple.  I paired these colors with the Raspberry Tart dsp from SU!, and used the stamp set "Flutter By".

The next challenge was to make a set of 3x3 notecards, and I used Cuddle Me for the cards, as well as the Sell-a-bration "Delicate Dots" paper, along with the ribbon bundle.  

Thanks for stopping by tonight!

Gliding By!

March is in like a lion...we are currently expecting a snow storm over night!  Hopefully the saying will stay true, and March will roll out like a lamb!

I made this card today to keep me in the wintry, snowy mood, and to use another new Sophia stamp by Paper Pretties.  I followed this week's Mojo Monday sketch (MOJO75), but decided to make my card 5 1/2" by 5 1/2" since I had a larger focal image than the sketch allowed for.  I stamped Sophia and paper pieced her dress with SU! dsp called "Sweet Slumber".  The rest of Sophia was colored with Copics, and her ear muffs and stole (is that the right word?!) were covered with Martha Stewart glitter.  I used additional paper from the Sweet Slumber paper pack, and added some machine stitching here and there.  The sentiment actually reads "Gliding by with a winter hi" but I only had room for "Gliding By" so I masked the rest of the sentiment to just stamp this part, and then cut it out with my SU! oval punches.  The snowflake in the upper left corner is a Felt Flurries, and the glittery brads are from the Oriental Trading scrapbooking catalog.

Thanks for stopping by this afternoon!

Easter is on it's way!

Hi again! I made this card for Taylor's sketch challenge for this week (TECC57).  I just got this simply adorable Sophia stamp in the mail from Paper Pretties.  I joined their Pretties club, so each month you are mailed a new Sophia and matching sentiment in the mail.  She is simply precious, especially this Easter one.  I paired her with some Bella Birds SU! dsp.  On my striped panel, I punched a Martha Stewart punch along the bottom edge.  I cut the sentiment out with my SU! oval punch.  The buttons are from the Button Latte set from SU! (love these!).  I also added some stitching around the outside of the bottom two layers.

Thanks for stopping by!

Need a Cuddle?

Happy Snowy Sunday! I woke up to about 2 inches of snow outside (yes, on my newly washed car!) this morning.  I started to make this card yesterday afternoon, but got side tracked, and finally finished it this morning.  It follows the Taylored Expressions Cupcake Challenge #51 (TECC51), which is actually a sketch challenge that doesn't require cupcakes, unless you want it to!  I used a paper pretties stamp called "Cuddle Me" for my card.  I thought she was adorable, and I think I'll be sending this particular card to my Grandma, who is in major need of a cuddle or two right about now.

Here are some card details:  I used the designer prints packs from SU! in Certainly Celery, Close to Cocoa, and Pink Pirouette.  The felt flowers are also from SU!, and the brads are Basic Grey, which I picked up in Michael's clearance section last week.  I stitched around the card with a zig zag stitch.  

Thanks for stopping by!

Flutter Your Mojo!

I got some new stamps yesterday, from Paper Pretties, and had NO time to stamp with them yesterday, but I finally found some time tonight! I used the mojo monday #68 sketch challenge for the week, as well as "Flutter By" by Paper Pretties.  Isn't she just adorable?!

For the card, I used BasicGrey dp, called "Two Scoops," as well as matching SU! cardstock.  I colored the girl with my Copics, and paper pieced her dress with the dp.  Instead of stamping the butterfly flying out of her hand, I used a Martha Stewart punch to punch out some butterflies.  The butterflies are coated with a Sakura glitter pen, and a teeny tiny pearl was placed in the center. For the larger butterfly, I used a BasicGrey brad.  For the green grass the girl is standing on, I used a bit of the faux tearing technique with some ink and scrap paper.  The sentiment was stamped on vellum, and layered over a green oval with a punched butterfly adhered to it.  This is actually only part of the sentiment, the whole reads "Flutter your wings and fly."  The green baubles are from Stamping Bella.  I sewed with my Sew Mini around the border of the small plaid/blue piece.  

I think that's all! Thanks for stopping by, and have a fabulous day!
