My Pink Stamper Color Challenge

I made this shaped card for the MPS Color Challenge. http://www.mypinkstamper.com/ It didn't quite work the way I planned it, but I did get all 4 colors on it! You need to use brown, green, orange and pink. The only pink is the lips, but it's still there! I wanted to add a sentiment, but there is no where to put it on a frog--LOL! I designed this in my gypsy and welded 2 shadow frogs from Mini Monsters together. It didn't fold the way I liked, but the bow at the top hides that :-) Then I cut the rest at the regular size to add the features. I outlined the whole thing with a white pen and added the black eye part with a black marker. No bling today :-( I just didn't know where to bling a frog!

Make a Wish!

I originally designed this card for my MIL's birthday. She loves dogs and has a black one. But I think this would work for a boy's birthday. Not sure yet!

I designed this in my Gypsy. The dog came from Animal Kingdom and had some spots that I took off. The thought bubble came from Indie Art and the bones are from Paper Doll Dress Up. I use way more carts on one card now--LOL! I used a white pen to add some features to the dog. black stitching on the bone and thought bubbles and gold stickles for the dog tag. I had this paper in my stash, but I think it was from Oriental Trading. And the blue rick rack was just in my drawer too! The Make a Wish! is from MPS Friends & Family--these are my new favorites :-)

Peachy Keen Challenge 31, Cuttlebug Spot Independence & New Blog Candy Winner

Wow, is that a long title or what?! This card covers 2 challenges. First, the sketch came from Peachy Keen Stamps Challenge Blog #31. Go over there to see the sketch and this is my take on it! http://peachykeenstampschallenge.blogspot.com/ Next is The Cuttlebug Spot Celebrate Independence Day challenge. You can see that here http://thecuttlebugspot.blogspot.com/ I don't usually do 2 challenges in one card, but it worked this time ;-)

I designed the entire card on my Gypsy. I just got this on Saturday and LOVE it!! I can't believe how easy this went together after planning it on there. The circles came from Plantin Schoolbook (I haven't been able to load George yet) and the stars came from Graphically Speaking (love the search feature!). The small rectangle I stamped on came from the Gypsy too. The card size is 5 x 5 inches.

I followed the sketch, and the stamp is from Peachy Keen. I used a marker and just colored in the fire part to stamp around the firecracker. Then I colored everything in with Stampin' Up! markers and stickles on the outside part of the fire. MPS Family & Friends stamp, gold stickles, SU! ribbon and pop dots on the stars and sentiment. The patterned paper was from a Martha Stewart pack I got on clearance a while ago. Last, but not least, I used the Swiss Dot folder through the Cuttlebug on the blue cirle and the stars (just added gold stickles to the dots on the stars)

Finally, I waited over a week and did not hear from one of my winners so I drew another name and it was Flowerdisco! I already heard from her and her package went in the mail Monday.

The Cuttlebug Spot Embossed Tags

I made this tag for The Cuttlebug Spot Embossed Tags challenge this week. http://thecuttlebugspot.blogspot.com/ I just got Tags, Bags, Boxes and More from the Cricut Rewards site and had time to play! I cut the Flower tag and the shadow with the hole feature at 4 1/2 inches. I ran the cream layer through the Cuttlebug with the D'vine Swirl folder. I then inked the whole thing with black ink pad. The small flower on top was cut at 2 1/2 inches with no hole. I used a MPS Family & Friends stamp and pink gems all around. The ribbon is some old Stampin' Up! that I just love :-)

Thanks for visiting!

Friends Fur-ever Card

Hi everyone! I hope you all are having a good week so far. Not long till the weekend--Yay!

Another card today. I used Paisely again--just love this cart :-) I cut the dog at 4 1/2 inches. I'm not sure if I got all the layers right, this one was a little confusing. The hula hoop didn't cover the whole bottom layer--I'm not sure why. But I just made it meet in the middle and it popped it out and gave it a 3D effect which I like anyway! The patterned paper (isn't it fun?!) came from My Paper Studio Safari Untamed. I added some white accents to the dog's paws and of course some Stickles (Cotton Candy). The stamp is from My Pink Stamper's Punny-licious set. And the dog was pop dotted on.

It's a lot of purple, but let me know what you think!

Throw Back Thursday at My Creative Time

I am so late posting this! I made this Saturday night for Emma's Throwback Thursday at My Creative Time http://www.creativetimeforme.com/ but wanted to wait until daylight to take a picture. But we had church, then lunch for Father's Day, and then we met friends at Six Flags. I am exhausted!

This week we needed to use Paper Doll Dress Up and alter an item. I used a 6 x 6 inch cork board and covered it with cardstock. I also lined the edges of it with orange ribbon (not sure you can see this) Then I used a 4 inch paper doll and used the girl pirate dress. The face stamp is from Peachy Keen (love these!). I used a white pen to add some doodling to make the cuts stand out a bit more. With the map, used a black pen. I used some brown skittles at the top. The black mat is for a picture. I am planning on using this as a wall hanging after we go to Disney in the Fall. My daughter is going to be a pirate girl while we're there for a Halloween party!
