Celebrate!

Hello Friends! I'm late for all of my favorite challenges, but I always like to play along so here is my card for this past week's Blogger's Challenge (Birthday theme), Forgotten Stamp Friday, and the sketch from the My Favorite Things Wednesday Stamp Club. My Pure Innocence girl is from the My Favorite Things Bunch of Blooms set. The sentiment comes from their Birthday Princess set. She is colored up with Copic Markers (BG01, BG02, E000, E00, E11, E25, E29, G82, YR15, YR16, and YR18) and popped up on these wonderful papers from the Stella and Rose collection from My Mind's Eye. The Aqua Mist Twill and Button are from Papertrey Ink. The sweet, little heart in the corner was made with the MFT Die-namics Hearts-A-Plenty die. Thanks so much for visiting with me tonight...Toodles! :D

Some Signs of Spring!

Happy Tuesday Friends! I have made some cards for Right At Home Scrapbooking store to share with you today. I hope that you can take some time to sit back and relax and get inspired. All of the cards showcase these wonderful papers from the Life is Good collection from Echo Park.

This little sweetie is from the Pure Innocence Mud Buddies set from My Favorite Things. She is colored up with Copic Markers (BG11, BG13, E000, E00, E11, E15, E17, G20, G21, R20, R81, R83, and R85) and then added to a panel with some zig zag stitching. The grass is made with My Favorite Things Die-namics Fresh Cut Grass Die. I added some Basic Grey buttons in place of the flower blossoms. The sentiment is stamped in Memento Rich Cocoa ink and accented with a button and some Baker's Twine. The chocolate colored twill is such a great accent for these papers.

My next card also uses the Mud Buddies set. I've colored her up with Copic Markers (B93, B95, B97, BG000, C1, C3, C5, E000, E00, E11, E15, E17, E27, E29, E40, R20, R35, R37, YG17, YG25, YR21, and YR24) and I sewed this layer to the green panel. This time I paired her with the My Favorite Things Die-namics Simply Scallops Die and I added some Kaiser Crafts Crystals.

I hope that you are still with me because I have two more cards to share. This was a layout from one of Jen Del Muro's past sketches. My little Mud Buddy girl is colored up with Copic Markers (BG01, BG02, E000, E00, E11, E25, E27, R20, G20, G21, R81, R83, and R85) and cut out with Nestabilities. I added some Basic Grey buttons to the bottom right corner that I accented with some more Baker's Twine. The sun was made with the My Favorite Things Die-namics Sunshine die and accented with another Basic Grey button.


Are you ready for my last card today? Here it is...


This time around, I used the My Favorite Things Die-namics Rolled Rose die along with some Bo Bunny polka dotted card stock to make the flowers. I LOVE these blue blossoms. The leaves were made with the MFT Die-namics Sheltering Tree and Leaf Trio Die. I also added the MFT Die-namics Little Open Scallop Strip Die as an accent. The sentiment is from the My Favorite Things Die-namics Framed Greetings set. Thanks so much for hanging in there with me for this longer than usual post. All of these supplies can be found at Right At Home Scrapbooking store in North Attleboro. You'll find their link in my right side bar. I hope that you have a beautiful day...Toodles! :D

Happy Spring!

Well, technically, it isn't Spring yet, but when half of a foot of snow melts in one day...a girl has hope! I hope that you enjoyed your weekend. I spent yesterday with some stamping friends, and then I worked on this card last night. Today was just sunny enough for me to get a fairly good photograph of it. I used this past Wednesday's sketch from the My Favorite Things Wednesday Stamp Club. If you would like to play along as well, you can find all of the details and the sketch here. I received this wonderful My Mind's Eye paper in the mail yesterday. It is from the Stella and Rose collection. LOVE it! My little sweetie is from the Pure Innocence Out On a Limb set from My Favorite Things. She is colored up with Copic Markers (E000, E00, E11, E25, E29, and R20) and her dress is paper pieced with some more of the Stella and Rose papers. My card stock layers are Stampin' Up's So Saffron and Basic Black. The ovals were made with my Nesties. Some zig zap stitching, a bit of Stampin' Up Black Grosgrain Ribbon and a Papertrey Ink Button finish off this card. Thank you for stopping by tonight. Have a wonderful start to the week...Toodles! :D

Have A Blooming Good Day!

Happy Friday Friends! I'm looking forward to the weekend! Tomorrow, I'll be stamping with friends and that's always a good thing! I hope that you have something fun and crafty to do! Today's card is for this week's Blogger's Challenge (use the colors green, peach, and white) and for Forgotten Stamp Friday. To play along with either one of these challenges, just click on the colored words above. My "Forgotten Stamp" for this week is this sweet bunny from High Hopes Rubber Stamps. I've had him for quite awhile, and this is the first time that he has ever seen ink! He is colored up with Copic Markers (BG000, C1, R20, YG63, YG67, YR00, and YR12) and then cut out and popped up on a circle of A*Muse Gingham card stock. The green patterned paper is from a retired pack by Stampin' Up. That panel is sewn onto a piece of Pumpkin Pie card stock. To bring some green over to the right half of my card, I added a button with some craft thread to the top and I stamped my sentiment (from the MFT Blooming Good Day set) in Old Olive ink on the bottom corner. It's been quite a busy week, so I kept this one very clean and simple. Thanks so much for stopping by today. I'm hoping to finish up my card for the My Favorite Things Wednesday Stamp Club Sketch tonight, so I'll be back some time tomorrow. Until then...Toodles! :D

One of My Favorite Things!

The way that my schedule goes lately, I seem to post my challenges for Wednesday on Monday...lol! I guess the that the most important thing is that I'm at least creating something, and that's what it truly is all about. So here is my version of the My Favorite Things Wednesday Stamp Club Sketch. If you would like to play along too, you can find all of the details and the sketch here. Here are the supplies that I used. I off started with the sentiment from the My Favorite Things Framed Greetings set. It is stamped in Memento Rich Cocoa ink onto one of the pieces from the MFT Layered Labels Die-namics. All of the patterned papers are from the Fine and Dandy collection from My Mind's Eye. The main layer is sewed to a panel of Chocolate Chip card stock from Stampin' Up and the Aqua Mist ribbon is from Papertrey Ink. My other accents include a piece made with the MFT Simply Scallops Die-namic and the stars were made with the MFT Stacking Stars Die-namics. Everything is put together with foam adhesive squares for some added dimension. I'm keeping tonight's post short and sweet. Mr. Migraine paid me a visit today. I've taken my medicine and I'm feeling a little bit better, but I'm off to get some more rest. Thanks so much for visiting with me...Toodles! :D

Wishing You A Beautiful Day!

Happy Sunday Friends! I have a project to share with you today. I made this for the My Favorite Things Guest Designer Challenge. This time around, the lovely Ladies over at MFT would like you to get Die-mentional. One of the best ways to add dimension to your project is to use your MFT Die-namics. If you would like to play along too, you can find all of the details here. As you can see, I had quite a good time with my Rolled Rose Die-namic! I used my Cuttlebug to die cut 20 or so roses from card stock and then I got to rolling! They are attached to a Styrofoam ball (that I painted a rosy pink first) with corsage pins (found these in the bridal department at Michaels). The leaves are from the Sheltering Tree and Leaf Trio Die-namic. The sentiment (from the MFT set Framed Greetings) was made with the same colored card stock as the roses and some patterned paper from the Fine and Dandy collection from My Mind's Eye. These pieces were cut out with the Die-namic Layered Label Die. This project started with one of those biodegradable pots that you use to start seeds in and then you can put the entire pot in the ground when you are ready to plant it. This one won't be going in the ground though...lol! Here is a close up shot of the top of the bouquet.

Here is a close up of the sentiment. You can see all of the texture the little planter has. It's a wonderful Kraft color too!

Thanks so much for visiting with me! I'll be back tomorrow with my version of the My Favorite Things Sketch from Wednesday! Until then...Toodles! :D

Hello There!

I'm going to start this post by saying that I'm not in love with this card, but it's growing on me the longer I look at it...lol! It has been forever and a day since I've used this set (Stampin' Up's Cheep Talk). While I love these stamps, I just couldn't seem to get it all to turn out the way that I planned it in my head. I made this for my two favorite Friday challenges. This week's Blogger's Challenge is a sketch. You can find all of the details here and you can play along too if you'd like. Just remember to add your link over on Lisa's blog. My other favorite Friday challenge is Jessie's Forgotten Stamp Friday. Jessie challenges you to to make a card or project using a stamp that hasn't been used or has been owned and NOT used for at least six months. This set works perfectly because I haven't used it for over a year!!

Here are all of the details about my card. The base and the Die-namics Little Open Scallop Strip from My Favorite Things is made from Stampin' Up's Pumpkin Pie. The flowery patterned paper is from October Afternoon and the orange gingham is from A*Muse. The ribbon is from Martha Stewart. I added a Doodlebug Designs button with a little piece of Baker's Twine to the bow. The main image panel is colored with various Stampin' Up markers (Chocolate Chip, Old Olive, Certainly Celery, Bashful Blue, and Pumpkin Pie) and then I added a few Making Memories brads.

That's about it for this card. Thanks so much for stopping by today. I'll be back again soon! Until then...Toodles! :D

Just For You!

This is my second post for today! Can you believe it? If you are here looking for my post for Right at Home Scrapbooking, just scroll down a little. This card is for the My Favorite Things Wednesday Stamp Club. Each Wednesday, they come up with a wonderful sketch and here is my take on this past Wednesday's. You can find all of the details and the sketch over at the MFT blog.

For the past two days, MFT has been giving a little "Freeze Frame" of some of their new stamps that will be released on March 1st. I noticed that they are going to release a new Fred Bear stamp and that inspired me to pull out one of my Fred Bear sets. This one is called Fred Bear and the Butterfly. I love bears and this little guy is no exception! Fred and his little butterfly friends are colored up with Copic Markers (B24, B26, BG000, E11, E15, E17, R29, R59, and YG17) and then I cut them out to add to the sketch. The sentiment was stamped on a flag that I made with my die from Lil' Inker Designs. All of the patterned papers are from the Campfire collection from October Afternoon. They are sewed to some panels made with some Papertrey Ink Pure Poppy card stock. The wide grosgrain ribbon is from Stampin' Up!

Thanks so much for stopping by tonight. Have a delightful evening...Toodles! :D

Right At Home Scrapbooking Creations!

Good Monday Morning Friends! I have LOTS to share with you today. The first two cards showcase the "Lather. Rinse. Repeat." set from the Pure Innocence collection from My Favorite Things stamps. I paper pieced the shower caps and I used Copic Markers (BG000, C0, C1, C3, E000, E00, E11, E25, E27, R20, Y32, YR24, and the Colorless Blender) and glitter to bring her to life. All of the patterned papers are from the Alphabet Soup Girl collection from My Mind's Eye. They are accented with Bazzill and Bo Bunny card stock. For the card above, I used the Classic Circle Spellbinders Nestabilities. I also used the My Favorite Things Die-namics Hearts A Plenty die that I accented with a Basic Grey button and some Baker's Twine. The My Favorite Things Die-namics Open Scallop Border die is accented with a few little pearls. For the card below, I also used the Classic Circle Spellbinders Nestabilities. I accented this card with the MFT Die-namics Hearts A Plenty die with a Basic Grey button and some Baker's Twine as well. As you can see, I had a lot of fun using a couple of different stitches on my sewing machine on these two cards.

The next two cards that I'd like to share with you showcase the "Lollypop" set from the Pure Innocence collection from My Favorite Things stamps. This little sweetie is colored up with Copic Markers (BG11, BG13, E000, E00, E11, E25, E27, E40, R20, R22, and R24) and I added some glitter to her lollipop to make it sparkle. She is layered onto a piece of patterned paper from Crate Paper (School Spirit Collection). This piece was made with using the MFT Die-namics Textile Rectangle die. The other patterned papers for this creation are from the Alphabet Soup Girl collection from My Mind's Eye. Another heart, a Basic Grey button, some more Baker's Twine, and a wide piece of twill finish off this card.

This little, lollipop loving sweetie was also colored up with Copic Markers (BG000, BG11, BG13, E000, E00, E11, E33, E35, R20, R22, R24, Y11, Y21, and YR24) and accented with glitter. The classic oval and scallop oval were made with Spellbinders Nestabilities. As you can see, I really put my Hearts A Plenty Die-namics to good use for all of these cards. A few more Basic Grey buttons and some craft thread finish off these accents. The polka dotted paper is from the Alphabet Soup Girl collection from My Mind's Eye and the solid card stock is from Bazzill.


You can check out all of the supplies for these cards the next time you stop in for a visit at Right at Home Scrapbooking. Thanks so much for taking the time to visit with me today...Toodles! :D
