Going Green!

In Honor of St. Patrick's Day! I know Valentine's Day just passed, but it's time to move on to the next holiday already! I've had this goodluckabella for a whole year, and never used her!  For my card, I followed Mercy's Sketch Challenge (MTSC31).  I colored goodluckabella with Copics, matching the SU! colors Lovely Lilac, Certainly Celery, and Wild Wasabi.  I used the Sizzix top note die for the cut out behind the image, with a Studio G sentiment stamped on it.  I got the ribbon at Michael's last night, it is by American Crafts.  For the bottom purple border, I punched some hearts from a Martha Stewart punch, and then glued them onto the piece of paper to look like shamrocks.  

Thanks for visiting today!

A Little Birdie made a Wish!

And his wish came true! I got some new SU! stuff today, from a Bulk order I had placed.  In it was some new designer paper called "Morning Sunshine".  It is so pretty! I love the bird/owl theme that seems to be all over the place these days.

For my card, I used Mercy's sketch challenge (MTSC29), which are always fab because she has so many neat little layers and pieces to her sketches.  I used the stamp set "Petal Pizzazz" along with a bird image from Hero Arts.  I stamped the bird and stem onto my white piece of paper, and then stamped the leaf and flower 2 times on white cardstock and cut it out, and then layered the pieces together.  The brown flower is a button (also from the bulk order, the new Latte button set) with a brad placed in the center.  The sentiment is SU!, I'm not sure the set though.   

Thanks for stopping by tonight!

Snowy Day

Wow! My 3rd post for the day.  I made this card in honor of my snow day today! I thought it'd be cute to send to some teacher friends, since this time of the year, we are all praying for snow days!  I used Mercy's Tuesday Sketch (MTSC 28) for this card, as well as participated in the All That Scraps Design Team #34 challenge to use as many brads as possible.  I used 6, which I think is just about enough without going overboard!

I used the Itzie Inkies Stamp set called "Wintertime Fun" by CC Designs.  It's another set I ordered last month with my CC Designs order, and I hadn't used it yet.  I colored the image with copics and stamped the snowflakes, then added some glue with a glue pen and sprinkled it with glitter.  The dp is from the SU! holiday mini catalog, called "Ski Slope". I know it's a bit Christmas-y, but I thought it looked okay enough to pass for winter.  I punched a snowflake and layered it with a felt flurry in the corner. I actually moved my sentiment to the bottom because it seemed to fit better.

Thanks for stopping by!

Always Sweet Sadie

Here's one more for today, using Birthday Sadie from CC Designs.  I followed Mercy's Tuesday Sketch Challenge #26 for this card.  This is my first time participating, but I've been seeing cards in blogland with her sketches and I really like all the layers she incorporates.   For my card I used dp by SU! called "Sweet Always".  Sadie was colored with Copics, and her balloons were paper pieced with the dp (all except the brown one, I colored that and added dots with a white gel pen).  I used some machine stitching as well.

Thanks for taking a look!
