Baby Boy Blue

Hi everyone!!  It's Cute Card Thursday time!  I recently went to a baby shower (I just LOVE baby showers) and I made this card for the mommy to be.

I used copics to color this cute little hAnglar baby boy.  I used my new Cricut cartridge to cut the die and my new Magnolia dies for the branch.  Designer paper is from Little Yellow Bicycle.  There new baby paper is just the cutest!

I'm glad you stopped by!!  Have a wonderful day!

Fairy Tilda

Hi everyone!!  Today is Thursday so it's time for another challenge at Cute Card Thursday.  This week we want to see your creations that feature some distressing. Whether you want to distress with inks or papers using a distressing tool, or even using Distress Inks to colour your image...the choice is yours.

I distressed my paper and also used Distress Inks to color my image.

The gorgeous designer paper is from the new line at Stampin Up!  I got to order it through a special promotion they were having and I just LOVE the patterns on this paper.  I used Prima flowers and Wild Orchid Craft flowers.

Distress Inks used:  Stormy Sky, Bundled Sage, Milled Lavendar, Vintage Photo, Tattered Rose, Aged Mahogany, Antique Linen.

Thanks for stopping by!

Fairy World

Hi everyone!  Today I am sharing with you my submission to the Magnolia Ink Magazine Spring Contest...Make Your Craziest Fantasy.  I chose to embellishment this adorable paper cottage that I got from Hobby Lobby.  I also went crazy in the miniature isle there and got a bunch of miniatures for my scene.  I just love the china tea cups and wooden little table.  I made the mushrooms out of red and clear beads and painted spots on them.  I used my Cricut to cut the trees and fence.

Images I used:  Alva with Flower, Sittle Alva, Big Mushroom, Fairy Tilda, Fantasy Flower, Ladybug and Snail.  I covered the roof with moss and used tiny tiles from Michaels for the chimney.  I used Flowersoft for the grass.  I also added lots of bling and sparkles.  I found some miniature wooden flower pots and filled them with Wild Orchid Crafts rosebuds.

Hope your enjoyed my entry, there certainly is a lot to see!

CCT - Chocolate!

Good day everyone!!  Chocolate....well a lot can be said about chocolate.  For me, it is probably the biggest comfort food.  Chocolate cake, chocolate sauce, chocolate covered strawberries...I LOVE them all!!  Chocolate is the theme at Cute Card Thursday this week.  It can be the image or embellishments or the colour scheme....your choice!

I chose to do a chocolate color theme.  Browns are so much fun to work with!  I haven't used this adorable hAnglar image in a very long time so it as time to dig her out!  I colored her with Distress Inks.  I finally broke down and bought some hot press watercolor paper and I really like using it.  It is much smoother than cold press.

Thanks for stopping by today!

Dreaming of Summer Days

Hi everyone!!  Happy Friday and Royal Wedding Day!!  I don't live in England but I have always loved watching the royal weddings on TV!  I've always been a big Prince William fan so today is a big day for me!

Well...onto today's card.  This one is for Cute Card Thursday.  We are trying something a little different for sketch week. Instead of providing you with a new sketch we want to you either re-use one of our previous sketches, or you can use one from another challenge blog (just be sure to mention where it is from so we can check it out), or even make one of your own (but make sure you share it with us).

I re-used one of my old sketch but mixed it up a bit.  Here is the one I used:

And my card.....

I used distress inks to color my images.  I used Tilda with Cherries and Jar of Honey (but I made it into yummy cherry jam!!).  I also used the Cherry Magnolia Doo-Hickey.

Thanks for stopping by!

Sunday Sketch and Stamp 2nd Birthday!

Hi everyone!  Sunday Sketch and Stamp is celebrating it's second birthday!!  Pop on over to the blog to check out the great prizes they have lined up for you!  Keep reading there even may be a little something something for me at the end.

I made this card for my bff's daughter's birthday, which is next week, I just need to get it in the mail now :)

I went a little simple with this one because I thought the designer papers really gave it the umph it needed.  I used Congratulations Tilda (mainly because that is the one my bff wanted!, LOL!!) and I colored her with copics.

Now, leave a comment on this blog entry for a chance to win a surprise package from me!!  I will choose a winner next Sunday by Random.org.  Oh...and before I forget...my birthday is February 24th.

Thanks for stopping by!

Butterfly Dreams

It's time for Cute Card Thursday!  This week we want to see your projects that include NO text!  Easy Peasy!!

This was the first time that I watercolored with distress inks!  So please be honest and let me know what you think.  I think I need to soften the colors a little, my colors seem a bit intense.  Oh! and the hydrenga flower was homemade!  I used a Marvy punch and half of a stryofoam ball to create it.  I'm really happy with the way it came out and will definately be making more of those!

Thanks for stopping by!  It's so great to "see" you again!
