All you need is...


LOVE!
Did you see it?
I made this for Naomi's "Whatever Challenge" weeks ago...and never posted...
I used my sale-a-bration stamp from SU (and fresh snow ink from PTI) and some chipboard shapes from Michael's that I made look like LOVE!
Cute huh? :)
Very simple and quick!

Cheer Up Buttercup

This card I did when I first got in my new umbrella stamp set from PTI. I sponged some clouds and cut out others from paper (I made it so long ago, I can't even remember what the name of the paper is! or what co.or inks I used!)

But the ribbon is from Michael's and the button is from creative cafe.

I thought it was a cute card, hope you do too!

Nite!

Thinking of You

I missed the caardvarks challenge like 2 weeks ago...bummer...


it was a tree challenge. the only trees are have are from hero arts (which I used one here) and just stamped and then stamped again (before reinking) to make a shadow. The I used my glue pen and some microbeads.



I inked the sides with PTI ink (fresh snow) and stamped the sentiment with it too.

The sentiment is from SU (bird on a branch).

Finished off with some raffia.

Enjoy!

I Love Nestabilities...and full nights of sleep!

Super quick post tonight as I have put in 40 hours of work in 3 days...AH the holidays at a flower shop!

Anywho - I LOVE NESTABILITIES!

I really do...wow...these little babies are awesome, I just wish my scrap room wasn't 110 degrees, lol, Jim needs to fix the fan!!
The dot stamps in the background (on white cardstock) are PTI's polka dots stamps and raspberry fizz ink. The paper is all PTI minus the dark grey from a random set.
The little things in the corner are adhesive embellies from Joann's and I finished off the front flower with glossy accents in the white dots (thanks Sarah!!)
And of course...nestabilities "Peony". Yum
Off to bed I go!

Color Challenge - Fabulous Friend!

Great colors Kristina! For some reason, I always end up having to make at least 2 cards though...because I'm not happy with the first. They tend to be a little bit "busy"...and I'm really trying to do simple and clean. Ugh.

Well, this is my interpretation:

I had some uber-fabulous new supplies (yeah!) that I found all over the place.

luding Peachy Cheap (um hello, awesome deals!) - they only sell 1 thing a day but I've noticed you need to visit early in the day or the SELL OUT! goo...i don't like it when they sell out.

So that is where I got my American Crafts "Flair" - I got 5 packages for like $3.99 - woah! (This is the high heel shoe)

The little clear pins are from Michaels - on clearance - and the FABULOUS tulle is from our local store, K2. I love them over there!

The pink and white papers are PTI - "Raspberry Fizz" and the yellow is American Crafts. The "abulous" and "riend" are both from PTI's Mega Mixed Messages. The big glittery chipboard is from Michael's and the chocolate ink is Brillance (which you can buy at Michael's).

I love the way this card turned out - I hope you do too!

Nite all - by the way, don't forget your mother/grandmother/etc this Sunday!
