Hi everyone!!  I haven't been able to stamp the last couple of days so I thought I would share a card with you that I made a while back for Tami's VSN challenge on Splitcoast.  She had a song to use as our inspiration and it made me think of this image.  I just love this image, too cute!!  The song reminded me of hubs and I so I tried to color them like us.  Heehee!

Thanks so much for stopping by today!!

Hi everyone!!  Another card for today!!  This one is for Kelly's Four by Four challenge on Splitcoast for the Hope You Can Cling To challenges.  We were to use 4 layers and 4 different embellishments.  That was tough, trying to pick out different things that I thought would look good together.  I think this image is so cute and I had a ton of fun coloring it.
Thanks so much for stopping by again today!!

Hello everyone. It with a heavy heart I am writing this post and created this card. My Dad passed away Friday morning. Usually when I create there isn't anything else on my mind, I am focused on just the card, but tonight I was thinking of him the whole time. He always liked getting my cards and would say such nice things that made me feel so good!

I was feeling the need to make a card, I had colored this image early in the week for the Hope Stamps Eternal cupcake inspiration challenge, the colors are awesome, I paired it up with Taylor's sketch challenge, I thought they went so well together.

Thanks so much for stopping by today.

Cupcake Friday!!

Friday's are great, it is Taylor's cupcake challenge!!! Taylor's love for cupcakes rubbed off on me a long time ago and I have a hard time using other stamps but cupcakes!! I had it stuck in my head to use this fun cupcake from Magnoia stamps, Alota Cupcake. Love this one!! I stamped the image on Papertrey White Select cardstock but wanted to have decorative paper. I dug through my stash of Basic Grey and thought these 2 papers from my Infuse paper pack would work perfectly!!! It also gave me a great excuse to use my Cool Caribbean cardstock, retired from SU! a long time ago, but I love this color!!! I stamped the paper portion of the image on the decorative paper and attached. I then ran the panel through my Cuttlebug using my square Nestabilites, part of the top of the cupcake was cut off, but I did that intentionally. I colored the cupcake and frosting using my Prismacolor Pencils, Gamsol and blending stumps, I then cut out the cake and frosting portion separately, the cake portion is up on dimentionals and the frosting portion is up on Pop Dots. They are a little thicker and I wanted that to stand up a little more. I applied Christmas Red Stickles to the hearts and Liquid glass to the remaining areas, I was trying to achieve more of a "gooey" look!! On the Cool Caribbean base, I used a corner punch in the two right corners (I tried with my first piece to punch all 4 corners but the punch wouldn't to through 2 layers!!), I then applied a piece of Papertrey Dark Chocolate and the dp from Basic Grey, punching the right corners. The circle was cut out using my circle Nestabilites and attached to a piece of Dark Chocolate cutting out using my scallop circle Nestabilites. The horizontal layer was punched with my Martha Stewart Cornice Edge Punch, then embossed the "Celebrate" from Taylor's A Year Of Sweets Sentiments set then adding Taylor's Tiny Twinkles on each side of the sentiment followed by wrapping Papetrey's Dark Chocolate Twill around the layer and tying in a knot. The white panel was too bright with the rest of papers so I sponged around the cupcake using Dark Chocolate ink.
