Butterflies and a Release Party!

Sweet 'n Sassy is celebrating the release of 10 new stamp sets with a Release Party on SNR tonight between 9 pm EST - 11 pm. There will be lots of FUN, games, challenges and PRIZES, plus a chance to talk with the design team (that means ME)! See you THERE!! I've made 3 cards for the challenges, so make sure you drop in to see them and the rest of the team's creations!

It's Midnight Madness Challenge time again, and boy did I struggle with my card! First I did the wrong sketch, and thankfully there was enough time for me to make the correct one. But wouldn't you know it, when you are under pressure, everything seems to go wrong! Anyhoo, I finally completed the card using a fabulous butterfly image from Fred, She Said Designs and here it is! Midnight Madness weekly sponsor is priscillastyles store and the monthly sponsor is Katstamps!

Happy Monday Challenge...

There's a fun challenge over on Deedee's Digis Challenge blog today! For the Happy Monday Challenge you are to use the colors of  turquoise/ocean blue, pink and green! They are giving away the flipflops and sentiment so you can play along! I printed and cut out my flip flops then colored them with Copic Markers. I added a fun flower pearl to them, but you can just color the flower in the image if you want! I was thinking about adding tiny pearls along the straps, but will save it for another card! I used another piece of Basic Grey "Lemonade" paper for my background and finished it off with a multi-colored bow!

There's a lot of things happening this week, so make sure you tune in everyday, to join in all the fun!

Holiday Sunday - Wicked...

Well, it's Holiday Sunday and I've made the cutest darn card for Halloween! The digistamp is from Tiddly Inks and she's called "Higglety". I colored her with Copic Markers, and my designer papers are from Basic Grey "Eerie" paper stack. The fabulous spooky letters I got today at Michael's! How can you not love the witches shoe ribbon? Terri got me to buy that one!! The spider web is a stick on by Jolee's!

For Us...

A quick Sneak Peek of an image about to be released from Deedee's Digis! My designer paper is from Basic Grey "Lemonade" stack, which I've fallen in love with, and have to have more!! Sometimes all you need is a nice sentiment to make a pretty card! Then add a fluffy bow and some pearls to it! I love this card!

Pink and Orange...

Yesterday was Digi Day on SNR with Sweet 'n Sassy Stamps, and the challenge was to create a card using orange and pink as the main colors! Well, I really made an orange and pink card, I'm telling you!! I used a sweet new image that has just been released and it fits a lot of occasions.

Happy Father's Day...

My dad was a fantastic man whom I miss every day of my life. It's hard to make Father's Day cards now that he's gone, but I did manage to make two this year. The scenic deer card was made for my kids to give to their dad, and the other was for Digi Day for Sweet 'n Sassy Stamps on SNR.

I love you, Daddy.

This card measures 5 1/4 x 5 1/4 inches and I added lots of pearls for bling!

a True Friend ...

My card uses the new CLEAR STAMP set called "Poppies & Greetings" which was recently released. by Sweet n' Sassy Stamps. What I love about this stamp set is how crisp the images stamp, and the delightful little greetings that come with it. They are a perfect size to stamp in small spaces on your card. The set includes 2 images and 9 sentiments, and measures approximately 4 x 4 inches. This is a MUST have set, in my eyes!

Fruit Wreath...

My card today is for Our Creative Corner's Sketch Challenge! I used the new Lotus die from Spellbinders, and a fabulous digital image from Isabella's Sketchbook called Christmas Fruit Wreath. I used tons of gold and white pearls, and colored the wreath with Copic Markers. My sentiment is from the See D Morsels Scentiments stamp set. The border punch is from EK Success.
