Ever After More then Just for I Do's!

Hello everyone!

Hoping everyone is having a wonderful week. Here in NY it is rain and rain and MORE RAIN..my Ram's games have been canceled he's not too much of a happy camper I tell you that much but for me the stamper well I don't mind it because its made me buckle down and well stamp (ok doesn't take that much to make me stamp! HA..)

So Remember last week I shared all those cards I was making... well I thought really now am I going to stamp ALL the cards the same oh man I can't... and then I thought hmm do I have a Wedding set.. hmm NO I don't then I remember HEY since I'm a demo with AWESOME customers I was rewarded a free set from the Sale-A-Bration sale we had. SOOO I clicked over and picked my free set which I decided would be : Ever After... and before I knew it.. Mr. Brown was knocking on my door with my free goodies.. IT ROCKS TO BE DEMO! lol..

Then I thought OH MY GOSH Mother's Day is around the corner! I have to make some cards and then I looked at my new set and thought WELL HEY why not... and here are my Mother Day Cards! Ok if your a mom and happen to be a friend of mine too look away... cause you'll be getting one of these! HA...




Here is a close up of the cards :




OH and Look I even stamped the inside! Ha... (I used my All Holidays set for the sentiment)



If your wondering how I got my multi colors on my heart well THAT was the fun part I just took my Stampin Up Markers and scribbled on the stamp and stamped.. Don't they look like I worked so hard Ha.. I love that image and how fun not having to worry how I was inking it up cause they all are unique and pretty!

Well I am off as now I need getting them addressed so they can be sent of! As always thank you for stopping by and don't forget tomorrow is Diva Wednesday!

Why Not I'll Play Too!

Kristina's 50th Color Inspiration that is.. I went over to look at it and I think that a quarter of all bloggers have gone to play cause she has some INSANNNNNNNNNNNNNNE goodies to give away to celebrate..In my style I waited last minute to play along too. Wasn't actually going to cause well I actually got nervous w/so many entries But you know what like Nike says "Just Do It" lol..

So Now look what we all had to play with!




Aren't those colors SCREAMING to be played with? So this is my little number.. A Baby card.. BUT I really felt like throwing a curve and created something I don't think I really ever would, but I like how it came together...






So out of my element Who would have thought I would make a card like this.. BUT there it is again.. elements and more elements! I really had fun playing with these colors. I hope everyone is enjoying their weekend. We have to go to a Party shortly but I wanted post my little card before we left. As always Thank you for stopping By!

Diva Challenge #125

Hello everyone!

I'm posting this late! Soo sorry to my Divas! I don't know where my Wednesday went! I was so busy I had lunch at almost 9 pm yesterday! lol... Now with out further ado here is this week's challenge.. A Sketch you all know how I love them!









Here is my card I created for this challenge :



I confess I have a thing for textured cards plus when it so easy especially using the Big Shot why not right? I also added more textured w/my paper cutter and my bone folder again. I loved that look of the squares as I was making this card I got another idea for another card (I'll share at a later date)

For my scalloped frame I used my scalloped punch and got 4 sq. together and there you go with my little frame :) and then I was looking at my lonely Sweet Stems Set that I had to use it for this card. No Sentiment as I thought I could use this card for so many occasions.

Well Now go check out the rest of the Divas and see what Delish creations they came up with!

Beautiful Day....

Hello Everyone!

Sorry I went MIA for a while I've been busy want to see doing what...





I still have loads of these to finish as I need 75! But I already have put a dent on it so its ok :) Of course I took a break and had to stamp with some goodies that I received. I had been eyeing the rub-on from the Mini Occasions catalog. I LOVE them.. Of course the awesome offer of a free goodies from the Reg. Catty is still available on page 208 with the purchase of $40.00 before shipping/handling from the Mini until April 30th. I used "the Thank You-Mini Not Card stamp"

Here is a little card I made.. Oh and I also used the a Jumbo Grommet for another accent... I really love how this little card came out. To get the scored line I just used my cutter w/a bone folder around the card. I also used my Big Shot to get the texture on the Choc.Chip Cardstock





Hope everyone is having a wonderful and beautiful day. As always thank you for stopping by. I am off as I think my son has practice today OPPS.. Tomorrow is his first Official game. I can't wait! :)



FYI: my mass production cards used Hostess Level 2: Echo of Kindness & sentiment is from Dream de Jour and I colored with my Pastels

Diva Challenge #124

Welcome to another Diva Challenge!

For this week we have a Color Challenge. Using colors that pretty much are describing the Spring New York is having right now! lol






I decided to use this weeks challenge along with the weekly sketch from SCS and this is what I came up with.



I Used Designer Paper from my fav. Urban Oasis and stamped the flower from the Hostess Level 2 set : Echo of Kindness, then when I went to put it away.. I just happened to see my Dream De Jour Set and I knew I had to use that sentiment on my card as well.



Don't forgot to visit The other Diva's At our Blog and see everyone else amazing and beautiful creations!

Inspired by the Great JanTInk!

Hello everyone!

Did you miss me? I've missed you.. Got a little busy around here as my oldest is starting Little Leauge and its his first time about so we are getting use to what comes with it. Also over at Stampin Addicts (if you don't know about that place you better GO and check it out so much fun! and all SU related) I'm getting excited w/my Sistahs as we are getting into Stampin Up Convention Mode. I can NOT wait I tell you. Lets just say I have signed up for enough swaps that if I add one more I will need more fingers.. and THATS all I'm saying! Ha..

One of our Sistah's who comes for visits is the awesome and oh my gosh super talented gal JanTInk. I am pretty sure you ALL know who she is right? Well a couple of days ago she posted on her a blog a card using the set : A Kind Word.. That card made my heart STOP! Oh my gosh just GOJUS.. WOW..she actually stamped one of the little gals on Kraft paper (already with my weakness of Kraft paper I KNEW I had to give it a go) and she used watercolor pencils to color it..
I actually don't have watercolor pencils ( I know I'm adding it to my list of what I need to get! lol) BUTTTT I then I thought WAIT.. I have my pastels my beloved pastels who are put away and hadn't gotten any love in a while... Could I use those to create my JanTInk card? ....


WELL look yourself!



Man was I ever channeling Jan! Ha... But I used my pastels to color the little girl and kitty and then used my Kiwi Kiss and Chocolate Chip ink to give her walking field. (oh and I used my white watercolor crayone for her apron )I had to go and grab My Branching Out Stamp set (you all know how I love that set!) and add a few butterflies. and even the sky I used some pastels to create it. SQQUUEAL is all I could say and after doing that card well OF Course I had to make another right!!!


So again took my pastels and got to work and created this little card. For this one I used my Gel Pen as well. I really have been having fun doing this. It really is relaxing after you get started.
Well its late and I have to work on my card for tomorrow cause its Diva Challenge Wednesday tomorrow! I do have something in the works that has to do with some Candy again! This time we are gonna play a game! More details to come tomorrow!
As always I thank you for stopping by!
