All white entry


I made this card for a blog candy entry for my SBS3 sister, Deb. She has a great blog!! Her contest is to create a card that is all white!! Luckily she provided some fabulous samples so we could see what she meant.
So there's no stamping on this one!! I used whisper white cardstock with my swiss dots and stylized flowers CB folders. Tied a piece of white grosgrain ribbon and added some flowers and pearls from the pretties kit. Super easy!!

2 posts in one day!!!!


So when it gets warm, you play outside, kids nap and there's no inside mess to clean.... sooooo I decided to stamp!!! It feels great!! I decided I'd better make the most out of my "free" time and combine 2 challenges into one card. I used the sketch from Alex's, my fellow DT member, blog. She's offering some fantastic candy along with this great sketch!! And cute card Thursday's challenge, a christmas card.
I used SU's retired wintergreen DSP for the snowflake background. I then brought out the greatest little truck from loads of love. I paper pieced the truck with wintergreen DSP and popped it, the sentiment and one little tree up on dimensionals.
I'm going to try to squeak one more card in or eat lunch haven't decided yet!!

Featured Stamper

Last Sunday's featured stamper on SCS (FS69) was my SBS3 sister, Maren from Zany not crazy known as MMBC on SCS. If you haven't visited her blog yet, you have to!!! She's an amazing stamper and super blogger. There are always new projects to check out with great ideas!!

So I cased her card seen here for a workshop I had on Friday with 16 fabulously talented ladies!!
Here's my case------->
I needed something simple because 16 is a large number, yet something great because over half the ladies are experienced stampers, so this card was perfect! So, my talented group then cased my case to come up with 16 new ideas (I showed them the sample, gave them the materials and they were off!!)!! I told them next time I'm bringing the camera!!

So I decided to make another card casing the favorite elements from my gals and added a rhinestone brad, guava stitched ribbon and dimensionals.

Shower thank you



Hope everyone had a great weekend!! It was super hot here!! Here's a quick post of the tank you notes I did for my SIL's baby shower. I think they actually qualify for Stamp Something's wild challenge too!!!





I used a bunch of my new fun toys...my nestabilities and my swiss dots cuttlebug folder, everything else is SU. I stayed with the guava, blush, river rock combo from the invites.

This is a great layout for making a bunch of quick cards and can be used with such a variety of stamps too.

Something Wild

Things are wild over at stamp something!!
This week we are featuring Layers of Color with Laura as our guest designer. The theme for the week is to do something in the wild. I used Under the sea by layers of color. What a great set, I fell in love with this little puffer fish and just had to use him!!
I used tiny bubbles CB folder for my soft sky layer. And I paper pierced along the edges.
The sentiment is from last years sale-a-bration set, very punny.
I finished off the seaweed with some rhinestone brads for a little sparkle.
Be sure to link to stamp something so you can be entered to win this fabulous set!!

Happy Birthday Jo!!


This is the card I made for Jo from only Joking for her birthday blog candy. She wanted a pink card. So I used pretty in pink and pretty in pink DSP for the base. I used my coluzzle since it was out from the stamp something challenge for the ovals. I used one of my Tilda images that I thought would look cute for a birthday card and colored her in with my aquapainter and ink refills. I then used the sentiment from short and sweet in close to cocoa. That great ribbon I actually found at Target and had to have it!!
Happy Birthday Jo!!
If you haven't yet, check out Jo's blog and wish her a happy day:)
