SFYTT Challenge - Pop on By!

Card #2 was super fun to do. I knew I wanted to use a stamp from my new "Comfort Food" set from SU (that I got for free for being a hostess) yeah! So I used the "pop on by" stamp and used a couple different colored markers from CTMH. Then I stamped the kernels again because I wanted to 'pop' them up...haha.

Then I paper pierced the little dots under the kernels. The border I used was Fiskars Treading Water on some really fun paper.

All the patterned paper was from some set from Target I think...sorry I don't know.

At the bottom instead of some buttons or anything I wanted to do more little kernels!! lol, I thought it was really cute and I paper pierced a little more to go along with above.

Hehe, I hope you all like! Be sure to throw a SU party so you can have this fun little Level 1 set. It has 3 other stamps (a loaf of bread "I loaf you", a donut with a frown face "donut be sad" and a milk carton "feeling sick? milk it") haha!

Loopdie-Doop Cupcake!

I've been searching the web like crazy today since I was home from work (sick...not as much fun). And I came across yet another challenge: Sketch For You To Try. This really gets me going - however, since I don't have any color scheme to work from, it takes me a tad longer ...say TWO HOURS! Why? I dunno, maybe its me not feeling my best or that I have a creative block or that this paper was way too cute for me to use because I wanted to keep it for myself! lol, but I can't be a paper hog.

This card is my cousin, Amber, who is turning 16 (oh my gosh) tomorrow. I'm going to her party :) One of the many traits I love about her is that she is not a girly-girl. She's a little bit of a rocker-punk-pretty girl. (and not to mention she is very, very technologically advanced, even when she was younger! She's such a smarty pants!)

So, it took me a little bit more time - and I just got in my free hostess set "Hand Drawn Bundle" including the little cupcake from the stamp set "It's a Loop Thing" and the patterned papers. YUM.

I stamped the cupcake on some transparency with brown Staz-on and glittered it with Doodlebug (love that stuff). The "Seize the Cake" is from Hero Arts and the ticket corner punch is from SU! and the brads from Michael's. The green paper was run through the Cuttlebug (one of my fav toys) in the Tiny Bubbles embossing folder.

I think it looks pretty enough to eat...and it took me longer than it would if I would have just made her cupcakes. LOL. ...she better enjoy this!
