Something for the first day of spring!! and some super exciting news!!!

I am so happy it's spring!!! I can't wait to get outside and start planting and being warm! We're warming things up at Stamp Something with a spring challenge sponsored by Roses on paper. I decided to use Springtime Lola from Rachelle Anne Miller Stamps. I also wanted to use my floral fantasy CB folder. The ribbon and DSP are from a retired SU scrappin kit. I colored Lola with copics and added white gel accents. I used the flower brad on the ribbon.

Now for the exciting news.......................I can't tell you YET!!!!!!! Check back here later today for the announcement!

New Sarah Kay and fun news!!

I can not believe it is Thursday already, this week has just flown by!!! I was a bit behind on challenges, so I decided to combine a few to catch up. I finally this Sarah Kay stamp, I've had my eye on it for quite awhile! I needed a few other items, so I just had to add it on to my order:)
I started with a sketch from Truly Scrumptious. Then I chose my colors based on the brown + 1(pink) challenge over at Cupcake Craft Challenge blog. Finally I added some gems to the center of the flowers to finish the truly scrumptious challenge and to qualify for the spoonful of sugar challenge! Whew! I also used my new floral fantasy CB background on the pink pirouette circle, a bit tough to see under the primas, but it goes so well with the Bella Rose DSP from SU! The ribbon is my new favorite, white satin from SU's occasions mini. I colored the image with copics and added some doodles.

Now for the fun news!!!!! Whimsy stamps is now offering Basic Grey papers and embellies!!!! Check out the site for some sneak peeks at spring animals and the yummy goodies now available!
See you tomorrow for a new stamp something challenge!

Digital Stamp Oasis Sketch

Hope everyone had a great St. Patrick's day!! We had a fabulous bolied dinner with hot cross buns and soda bread! Spent today at a playdate and had a wonderful time with adult chit chat!! I made this card using the sketch Ellie from Digital stamp oasis created for her DT call. I used pajama time Emma from Whimsy stamps. This card is currently in the mail to a very special birthday girl who turns 3 today:) The papers are K&Company . I used my copics to color Emma and added some yummy kiwi satin ribbon. I added a pink crystal to the "i" in the sentiment after I photographed the card. But I left my camera at my parents' so I couldn't update it. ooops! The sentiment is from All year Cheer I, a retired SU set.

Something Green

Happy Friday! Over at Stamp Something we are getting ready for spring and one of my favorite holidays, St. Patty's Day by asking people to stamp green. We are sponsored this week by Rare Image Rubber Stamps. They not only donated a fabulous stamp set for blog candy, but gave one to the DT as well. So check out the samples that use this great garden set. I chose kiwi kiss as my green. I used DSP from urban garden and bella rose. The image and sentiment are Rare Images. The center flower, Hyacinth (I think, I'm not great with flower names), is popped up on dimensionals as is the sentiment. I also used some dew drops and yummy kiwi satin ribbon. Well I'm going to IKEA today, hope I don't leave too much "green" there!!!

Whimsical Wednesday

It is Whimsical Wednesday with Whimsy Stamps over on SNR Card Universe. Denise is hosting a great challenge to use this sketch. So head on over and play along for your chance to win two brand new Whimsy stamps, I don't even have them!!!(yet...)
So I used my delicate dots DSP from SU along with bashful blue and Sahara sand. I also used my 3 for you flower punch to add some banana flowers to this owl's branch. He is colored in with yep, copics! A bit hard to tell in the photo, but the owl is stamped on the white layer, then layered with an additional cut out owl. I wanted to take a close up photo, but my camera was beeping "low battery" at me, so I didn't want to push my luck! I found these flower brads on clearance at Target. Finally I sponged a little bashful blue behind the owl and added a few doodles. The sentiment is Whimsy and is on a dimensional as well.
