thank you

Hi everyone!  Today I have a card for a few challenges.  First, today's SCS CAS challenge to use ribbon, this months OWH ODBD March challenge, and finally my sketch is from the Clean and Simple Stamping challenge.  I stamped my sentiment from my Avery Elle Oh Happy Day stamp set using Platinum embossing powder and added a few sprinkles that matched the paper.

I hope you enjoy and thanks so much for stopping by today!

you make me happy

Hi everyone!  Today I have a card for ~Fee~'s Dare to get Dirty challenge on SCS and for this weeks Clean and Simple Stamping's sketch challenge.  I used my Simon Says Bracket die on the white layer and ran it through my machine again with my Linen & Canvas Impression Plate.  I wrapped the ribbon around 1 1/2 times and cut it fishtail.  The sentiment from my Avery Elle So Happy stamp set was cut out with my oval die and up on pop dots.  I randomly attached the black sprinkles and the card was finished!  Quick and simple!

I hope you enjoy and I will see you later with my CAS challenge card!

Thanks so much for stopping by!

hi hey there hello hey

Hi everyone!  Today I have a card for this weeks Clean & Simple Stamping challenge.  A really fun sketch that I had a lot of fun with!  It was fun going through my Paper Smooches stamps and picking out the sentiments to use!  I went with Chilly Chums, Sentiment Sampler, Just a Note and Boob Tubes.  And just because this image is too darn cute I had to add her in too! 

 My card is also for this weeks Simon Says Monday challenge, anything goes and Paper Smooches Sparks Anything Goes challenge!

I hope you enjoy and thanks so much for stopping by today!

You're Purrrr-fect

Hi everyone!!!  My card is for this weeks Clean and Simple Stamping's sketch, fun!!!  I think this lion in Our Craft Lounge's Jungle Love set is soooo cute and thought he would be perfect for the circle!!!  I moved my sentiment from how the sketch is set, it didn't look right below the lion to me!  I wanted some texture so I used my Linen and Canvas Impression plate and thought it went well with the theme.  I colored a second head and tip of his tail and popped them up with pop dots.

Season Greetings

Hi everyone!!  Today's card is for this weeks Fall to Layout sketch, and for Julie's Hope You Can Cling To vintage challenge.  I used vintage buttons but I think these images look vintage too, especially the little truck.  It reminds me of a little truck that sat in my grandparents dinning room that was his from when he was a little boy.  Even though they are small, they are so much fun to color and worked perfectly for the sketch!

Hi everyone!!  I hope you have had a great weekend!!  Ours has been busy but a great one!!  Some friends stopped over Friday night and were here into Saturday afternoon and today was a big clean up and getting ready for winter (*shudder*) day! 

Today's card is for the Clean and Simple Stampings sketch for this week, fun!!!  When I saw the tree in the sample I knew I wanted to use this fun tree from Our Craft Lounge's set Tweet Trees!  After I stamped the tree, I added one of the new Sparkly Fluff colors Wicked Green.  I was hoping to get this card done and a photo taken a little earlier so the sparkle would show a little better but the phone rang!   I sewed the buttons on with jute twine, didn't want naked buttons for this card :)
