have a happy day!

Hi everyone!!  I'm trying so hard to get back into stamping regularly again but it sure isn't working very well!  I was sick and in bed for 2 days, yuck!!  I haven't been that miserable in a long time!  Enough about that!  I made this card on Sunday, it is for this weeks CPS sketch, so many possibilites, I love it!!!  I knew right away I wanted to use this great sentiment from Gina's new one free with 3 One in a Million set.  I cut three little strips from the Sunshiny Day pattern paper pack, I thought this pattern was perfect for the sentiment!!

I have another idea so I may be back yet this week with another card!

Thanks so much for stopping by!!!

You turn me on

Hi everyone!!  My card is for this weeks CPS sketch,  love the simplicity and all the possibilities!!  I love this fun set, Boob Tubes from Paper Smooches!!  I used a few different stamps from the set to make a background and used silver embossing powder.

Chase your Dreams

Hi everyone!!  Today's card is for Regina's challenge on Stamp TV and this weeks CPS sketch!!  Regina's  challenge for us is to have distressing on your card and add a tag!  I love distressing so I was excited when she told me what her challenge would be!  I used Theresa's new set Whimsical Spring, such a fun set!!!  I started out by stamping the outline stamp with Tim Holtz Frayed Burlap Distress ink, using my Stamp a Ma Jig, I offset the solid leaves a bit using TH Peeled Paint.   I used my distress tool around the edges and rubbed with Frayed Burlap.  For the circle portion the sketch calls for I pierced.

VSN vs CPS

Hi everyone!!  My card for today combines this weeks CPS sketch and Jen's "Layer it On" VSN challenge on Splitcoast.  We were to use at least 6 layers on our card.  Truth be told, I was a little nervous, that is a lot of layers!  When I'm making a card I never think of that but once I got going it wasn't difficult at all, especially combined with the sketch!!

CPS230

Hi everyone!!  My card is for this weeks CPS sketch!  I was stumped at first but I started going through my stamps and when I got to this set I knew I had to use this image!  I originally wanted to use a smaller image like Tami posted in the sketch but that will have to be for another time, this sketch is so fun!!  I used my markers on the image and then spritzed with water, while the paper was still in the die I sponged Antique Linen around and ran the pad around the ivory layer as well.

For You Son

Hi everyone!!  I am SO excited!!  I was asked to be CPS's Featured Facebook fan!!!  If you've been with me for a while you may remember I was honored with this once before!  I'm over the moon!  *giggle*

This card was made for my son.  I am so happy for him, he bought a brand new townhouse and will be moving this weekend.  It is bittersweet, because I am so happy and excited for him but I will miss him terribly.  I will be away this weekend so I won't be able to help and it will be strange coming home with an empty room.  Hubs and our youngest will be helping him though.  It is a good thing I won't be here, I'm sure I would be a blubbery mess!!

Anyway...if you would like to be featured all you have to do is upload your cards each week to the CPS facebook page!!

Thanks so much for stopping by and sharing my excitement!!
