Aloha!

Two posts in one day, isn't that a treat. I almost forgot that today is the deadline over at 2 sketches 4 you challenge blog. I made this card using Imaginescince snag 'ems stamps (Now available at Michaels- YAY) I saw these at my LSS, didn't buy them and then next thing I knew they were out of business. So I was really happy to get these little guys at last. I wanted to stamp an 'Aloha' sentiment on the card, but I had a problem with doing it on the glittered paper. So, instead of ruining my card, I put the sentiment on the inside. I colored in the Penguins with Radient Pearls and some watercolors. Thanks so much for looking.

Back in the Groove

Well, I apologize my dear bloggy friends for deserting you. I've been having the most amazing time with my family. It's been surreal to have my Hubby home and I've been savoring every second. This weekend I've been hanging out with the girls over at Vintage Plum. They had their first ever online crop. It was tons of fun. Lots of great challenges and prizes to be won. Here are 2 of the layouts I made. If you can't tell from first glance, I was in a Sassafras Lass mood. I made this card to match Kevin's birthday party theme. I used the Citrus Stack form DCWV and the Wild Kingdom Cricut cartridge.

A new card and Candy Alert!

This is a card I did for a challenge on cafemom. I love the bunny image. I bought 3 bunny stamps for 4 dollars at a yard sale last year. I was so happy to finally make a card with one of them. I stamped on watercolor paper and used my watercolor pencils. The sentiment stamp is from K&Co. I wanted a Happy Easter sentiment, but I never got around to getting one. I used up some scraps that I've had forever and that makes me happy. :) Also, the lovely lady that hostessed this challenge, Pam, is giving away some yummy blog candy on her blog. Go check her out. If you are in a purchasing mood, Pam also has another blog where she gives you good deals on great stuff. Check it out :)

Happy Everything!

Well, can you tell I am losing hope that I am going to get all my Christmas cards sent by the sentiment on this card? I hope it gets sent by Christmas, really I do, but it is getting closer and closer.I made this card based of a pagemaps sketch that I really loved. The image is from a swap I did on cafemom, so I'm unsure of it's origin. I colored it in with watercolor pencils. I used Distress Stickles for the snowman noses and to accent the snowflakes. I cut the heart out on my Cricut, used some Doodlebug glitter on it around the edges. I busted out the scallop edge scissors on the purple paper. This card is for a dear friend of mine, so check your mailbox in a few days/weeks to see if it is you :) Thanks for looking! Have a great day!
