SC218 Birthday Surprise..., CC208 For You....

Happy Wednesday everyone!!!

When I saw the SC218 last night...I thought I'd better not play, because I have soooooo much to do and soooooo little time..LOL!!! Well I slept on it and my creative little brain didn't give me a rest at all...he,he,he. So I got up and started a project that I've been dying to try!!!

I have seen this incredible fabulous purse including the tutorial over on Julie Buhler's Bl

og. OMG - let me tell you she rocks!!! She really inspired me to try it...!!!

Anyway - I'm still trying to be a good girl and use my *older* SU items that I have been collecting over the years...and I came across the Simple Scrappin Kit *Special Delivery Girl*. I really liked the soft CS and DP in this Kit!!!

I used the Textured Apricot Appeal, Groovy Guava and the PTI White CS for this purse and card. The gorgeous Stamp is from *Innovative Stamp Creations* called *Nature Silhouettes I* - if I have not mentioned it - this is my absolute favorite Silhouette Stamp in the whole wide world - LOL!!!!

The only different thing I did than Julie is that I used Scor-It Tape instead of Glue to pull this purse together. The main purse image is scored and I also added some Martha Stewart punched out butterflies. Plus I added some of my fav Silver Brads (Michaels) plus Silver Brads. The Satin Ribbon is matching the Groovy Guava tone and I don't remember where I bought it...sorry!!! Here is a close up look onto the main purse image.

I hope you will have a chance to create one of these wonderful purses yourself?!?

Now I have to go and make some more matching cards.....~TFL~

********************************************

This is my card for the CC208 I made yesterday. Sorry for not posting it earlier I completely ran out of time again......!!!

Anyway - I totally loved this Color Combo - Pink Passion, Chocolate Chip and Kiwi Kiss (opt. Old Olive). I did use Old Olive on my card!!!

For this card I used Taylor's TECC57 Sketch. The gorgeous Silhouette image is from *Innovative Stamp Creations* called *Nature Silhouettes I*. I colored it with the Pink Passion and Old Olive Markers. Then I scored the image in 1/4" lines creating a grid look.

Before I added the image onto the card I adhered the Pink Passion CS according to the Sketch. Next I layered the image onto Chocolate Chip CS and raised it with Stampin Dimensionals. I also had to use the cute little butterflies from the Martha Stewart Punch. I placed some pretty little Chocolate Pearls from Kaiser onto the center. At the end I stamped the sentiment from the *All Holidays* Set in Chocolate Chip Ink and also added some Copper Brads.

Thank you for being so patient and for stopping by!!!

SC206 Simply Delights, Mojo64 Silent Night

Hello everyone!!!

It is *full moon* and I couldn't sleep last night - again!!! I'm a mess - LOL!!!

Anyway - I saw the SC206 posted and I must tell ya - I love this Sketch - isn't it awesome???

My dilemma was that I couldn't find the Set I wanted to use right away...that's the bad part about moving stuff around - LOL!!! So I went on a search for my *Simply Delight* Sent Kit...well I forgot I took the Stamp Set out of the box and added it to they other ones....I think it took me 30 minutes to realize that.....but I was soooo happy when I finally found it......

Here is what I did with it - I inked the medallion in Chocolate Chip *Craft* Ink and embossed it with Clear EP. I punched them out with the 1 3/8" Punch and layered them onto 1 1/2" Chocolate Chip Circles. The gorgeous DP is from the *Haiku* Collection. The center panel - also layered onto Chocolate Chip - and the medallions were raised with Stampin Dimensional. To finished it all off I added the sentiment from *All Holidays* and I added the big Halfback Pearls from the *Pretties Kit*.

Hope you like it????

Here is a card I made for Julee Tilman's

Mojo64 Sketch.

I used this cute Stamp cleaning up the other day it's from Stampendous called *Silent Night Snowman* I bought this many years ago at Archiver's - I believe - LOL!?!

I colored the snowman with Ballet Blue and Pumpkin Pie Markers. I bedazzled it with DD Glitter. The DP in the BG is from the Mini Holiday Brochure *Frosty Day*.

The Ribbon is also from SU - Ballet Blue.

I added some blue Gemstones from Hero Arts and scored the bottom three times. This makes a quick card for the Holidays and I still need a few!!!

Thank you for stopping by!!! Have a wonderful day!!!

OCCC, IC154 Silhouettes and Sparkles

Happy Saturday!!!

I was so excited when Denise asked me to be the Guest Stamper for this weeks OCC Challenge!!! Thank you Denise for inviting me!!!

Today she has made my dream come true by using *Silhouette* Stamps and by adding some *Sparkles*!!! How cool is that???

I always had a passion for *Silhouette* Stamps, but I think I really fell in love with them when I was a Guest Designer for *Innovative Stamp Creations*. (If you like you can click here and look at the cards I made).

Anyway - for this card I used a *Stampendous* Stamp called *Agapanthus Cluster* (P107).

The colors I chose are - Whisper White, Real Red and Old Olive CS. The whole image was inked with Real Red. Next I used a Q-tip and wiped off the RR from the stems which I then colored with an Old Olive Marker.

Then I used my brand new *Curved Rectangle* Nesties - I bought them at *Stamper's Dream* (Thanks Michelle for the super fast delivery!!!) I also used the CB folder *Tiny Bubbles* on the longer Real Red panel. I raised the image panel with Stampin Dimensionals and added some Silver Brads on the right hand side. At the end I bedazzled the Clusters with Dazzling Diamond Glitter.

I think I was a bit to excited, because I couldn't go to sleep last night.....I was waiting to see what Stef has cooked up for the IC154 and of course I was hooked immediately on those pretty scraves!!! I chose this one for my card. I must admit knowing today's OCC Challenge.....I just had to use a Silhouette Stamp.....This one is from *Penny Black* and it's called *Constellation* (3867K).

I used Chocolate Chip, Whisper White, Old Olive, Tangerine Tango CS and the DP is from SU *Haiku*.

The image was inked in Tangerine Tango and I also used an Old Olive Marker for the stems. The sentiment is from *All Holidays* and I inked it in Chocolate Chip.

Sorry the picture is a bit blurry - I think it is all the DD Glitter and since it's late I had to turn on all the available light....LOL!!! (click on the little photo to see a close up).

I used a lot of Stampin Dimensionals to layer the different panels. Next I finished it off with some Gold Brads (Making Memories) and the yummy-licious Satin CC Ribbon.

Hope you like it??? If you have time please play along I can't wait to see your favorite *Silhouette* Stamp!!!!

Have a wonderful weekend !!! ~TFL~vderful weekend!!! ~TFL~

FS90 Merry Christmas

Hello again!!! After I posted my *birthday* post (down below) - I had to find out who the *Featured Stamper* is.....and I was so happy to see that Kay Kalthoff aka *Speedystamper* was selected!!!

Congratulations Kay!!! Your gallery is gorgeous and I so love your style!!!

After getting lost in her gallery I finally decided to case this card. Since I have to make more *holiday* cards I stuck with the holiday theme.

I changed the layout to Beate's WSC63. I changed the colors to - Whisper White, Pink Pirouette, Chocolate Chip and Bashful Blue. I embossed the BG with the CB *Snowflake* folder. The sentiment is from the *All Holiday* Set and I pierced right in between. To dress my card up I added some *Silver Staples* on the side. I still had plenty of *Star* Chipboard's from the retired *On board Garland Greetings* leftover and decided to make that my focal point. I bedazzled the *Star* with some light blue MS Glitter.

Hope you like it??? ~TFL~

FS73 Friend

Good Morning!!!

I'm usually not home on Sunday's, but my oldest came down with a *cold* and I'm staying home with her today.

Of course I had to get my fingers busy while she is resting....and I've decided to play along on today's Feautured Stamper. The lucky girl is Michele Kovack aka *Chelemom* and you can see all the details right here.

Michele has a gorgeous gallery full of cards and scrap pages and I have chosen to case this card right here.

I have kept the layout of the card and made some minor changes:

I have changed the colors of the card and I've used Basic Grey DP for the side panel plus Old Olive CS. I have used different Ink - Plum Pudding and a different Stamp Set - *All Holidays*. I also added some Rhinestone Brads from SU instead of the sentiment. The Ribbon was switched to a Satin Plum Pudding Ribbon from *Papertrey Ink*.

Have a great Sunday and ~TFL~!!!

IC131 Happy Birthday

Good Morning everyone!!!

Have you seen today's *Inspiration Piece* that Stephanie has chosen??? If not I have the link for you right here.

I have chosen this picture for my card. I was inspired my the colors and the mirror. After seen the Great Swap Girls Sketch Challenge I knew I wanted to use this layout.

My base is Whisper White. I have added a bigger strip of Bashful Blue and a small strip of Pixi Pink first. Then another smaller strip of Bashful Blue on the bottom. Next I have added the DS Bashful Ribbon.

The main image is from the fabulous *Live Your Dream* Set which I have stamped with Wild Wasabi and Pixi Pink Stampin Spots. The little butterfly was inked in Basic Black. Next I have cut the Basic Black scalloped oval and the center piece with Nestie's. This part was raised with Stampin Dimensionals.

The sentiment is from the *All Holidays* Set and it was also inked in Basic Black. To finish it all off I have added the *medium* Silver Brads from Making Memories.

Hope you like it and maybe you will be inspired by Stephanie's awesome *IC*?!? Stay tuned I have another card coming!!! ~TFL~

ssnotime38 - Happy Birthday

Here is my card for Sharon Johnson's ssnotime#38. Today's challenge is about stamping with a *Silhouette* image.

Of course I had to use my super gorgeous Stamp from *Hero Arts* called *Silhouette Corner*.

Actually this would have been a combined submission for Sharon's and Beate's Challenges until I have messed up....the image ended up to big for the WSC Sketch and I figured I just have to suck it up and make another card.....(hate when that happens - LOL)!!!

At least I had a Sketch already....I have started with a Whisper White card base. Then added the Wild Wasabi and Pumpkin Pie CS. I have adhered the cute DS Wild Wasabi Ribbon. Next I have started piercing along the top and bottom of the CS's.

The image was colored with Pumpkin Pie and my self made Wild Wasabi Blender Pen. The image was raised with Stampin Dimensionals before I have added it onto the card.

The sentiment is from the *All Holidays* Set and I have stamped it with Chocolate Chip and I also pierced right below the sentiment. ~TFL~

Make sure you check out my card below that I have made for Beate's WSC51. Don't want ya to miss it - LOL!!! Have a great weekend!!!

LSC169 Happy Father's Day!!!

Oh my goodness - no hardware allowed on today's Limited Supply Challenge - I thought I'm gonna pass out - LOL!!!

I have discovered I'm addicted to my *BRADS*!!!

I was definitely struggling this morning....and I had to think....a lot....about what I should create. The masculine theme from yesterday's WT Challenge was also still stuck in my head and that didn't make it any easier!!!

Here is what I have come up with.
I have made this 4" x 4" card starting with Chocolate Chip and layered it with Whisper White.
BTW - did you know that Jackie Pedro deemed me to be the *Queen* of White - LOL!!! You are too funny Jackie - LOL!!! Love the title - he,he,he !!!

Anyway - the "Happy Father's Day" sentiment is from the "All Holidays" Set. I have inked it up with the Chocolate Chip and Old Olive Stampin Spot's.

Then I have layered the sentiment onto Old Olive CS and raised it all up with Stampin Dimensionals.( I'm addicted to those too - LOL!!!)

The little Chocolate Chip and Old Olive circles are punched out with the 3/4" and 1/4" Punches from SU. I have also added the cool CC Poly Twill Ribbon from the new Mini Brochure.

Stay tuned I have one more card to show you!!!
