I'm cuckoo for you

Hi everyone and happy Sunday! The birthday party yesterday was a success....well, other than some drama over the pinata apparently not having enough candy in it, lol! Today we're just taking it easy. Parties are exhausting, aren't they?....FUN, but exhausting. Anyhooo....enough babble and onto my card.

It's actually the second one I made today because I hosed the first one with a big ink spot (arghhhh!) when it was all done. The stamps are from my Hero Arts Cuckoo clear set from Stamper's Dream. They're stamped in Memento Cocoa and I added some Stickles to the grass and flowers in the clock. The polka dot panel is up on foam tape. The DP is Farm Fresh by October Afternoon and the blue panel is Prism Baby Blue Light. The green flower was made with a Spellbinders die and I added a Chocolate Kaiser Craft Pearl to the center.

Hope you're having a very relaxing day!

JR Valentine

Hi all! I'm still plugging away at getting ready for all the birthday festivities this weekend, but after several days of no stamping...well....I was jonesin' to stamp and determined to do it today! I made this card for today's Valentine Love Challenge on the JustRite Stampers blog. The poppies and circle border are from my Plant a Little Love set, and the sentiment is from my Loving Thoughts set.

The poppies are stamped on Cryogen White and the card base is Spirit Red Feltweave. Both are available at Paper Temptress.

Here's a close-up:



Hope you have a GREAT weekend!

Things with the letter P

Good morning! I got a chance to play along in a few challenges this morning (fun!). The colors are from Betty's Color Challenge on SCS (blush blossom, melon mambo, pretty in pink), the layout is Mercy's Sketch, and I used things beginning with the letter P for the Timeless Tuesday Challenge. I used pearls on the i's in the sentiment, a wavy dot punch, pink CS and pink Copics, and fruit punch stickles.

Have a great day!

Just Because

Hi all! I spent the past couple days organizing closets, cabinets, and doing some cleaning to get ready for the birthday party next weekend. I have more to do today, but wanted to make a card first. Doesn't the day just go better when you get to start it out with stamping? I think so, too! {smile}

For this card I used a couple new JustRite stamps, My Garden Borders & Centers and Just a Note Borders & Centers. The yellow circle is up on foam tape and I added mini rhinestones to the sentiment and yellow panel. All the stamping was done with Memento Cocoa ink.

The layout is Karen's Sweet Sunday Sketch.

Have an awesome day!

Here's a card I made for Cindy's CCEE sketch. The DP and large heart with the white edging is from my Be Loved DP pack. The other hearts (from my OCL Hearts & Hugs set) were stamped in Riding Hood Red and Groovy Guava inks, and they're up on foam tape. The card base is Wild Cherry Pop Tones.

Dad's Birthday

Hi all! Just a quick post today because we're headed down to my Mom and Dad's. It's Dad's birthday today and this is the gift card holder I'm giving him. You can see the tutorial for the pop-up GC holder HERE. This is my favorite GC holder to make. Really easy and quick!

The CHF truck image and Flourishes sentiment are stamped on sparkly Cryogen White from Paper Temptress.



The matted blue layer behind the truck is up on foam tape. I added some Cryogen White to the inside and embossed it with my diamond plate EF....Dad loves diamond plate!



Thanks for stopping by today!

Prince Naveen?

What do you think? Could this frog be Prince Naveen?



LOL, I took my daughter to see Princess & The Frog last night at a second-run theater...SUCH a cute movie! When Prince Naveen wants Tiana to kiss him to turn him back into a prince, she asks, "Just one kiss?" He answers, "Just one, unless you beg for more." Hehe, cracked me up, so that's what I used for my inspiration today....that line from the movie.

The Penny Black Viva Diva image is from Stamper's Dream along with the Prism Sunflowers Light CS. JustRite started up some Friday challenges and the first one is to get creative with font. I used my Times Roman Lowercase 25 pt for the letters in my sentiments and Times Roman 15 pt for the dots on the inside, which you can see here:



The layout is Karen Giron's Sweet Sunday Sketch.

Have a great Sunday afternoon!

Hi all! I've had time to participate in a lot of challenges this week....and it feels good! :) This card is for Cindy's CCEE Sketch and Julia's Where's the Birdie Challenge on SCS.

Have a great day....TGIF!

Red Ruche Cherries

My girl Silke is hosting a sketch challenge this week on the Flourishes blog so I just had to play! I colored up my image on Tuesday and knew I wanted to use my red crepe ruche CS (love the texture on this stuff!) from Paper Temptress, but then I was stumped on what greens to use on the card so I let it sit. Well, LeAnne to the rescue!....yesterday's Color Throwdown colors were razzleberry, moss, and garden green...or you're allowed to use something "close" to those colors. I used the moss and garden greens, but switched out razzleberry for this red crepe color.

Have an awesome day!

Valentines with Bubs

Hey there and happy hump day! Here's a card I made for Taylor's Sketch. I used my Bubs Beaver set from OCL and paired it up with some Cocoa Ruche from Paper Temptress. I thought the ruche CS went really well with the tree image. The sentiment tag and large circle are up on foam tape.

*Edited to Add*
Someone asked yesterday what MME (in my supply list) stands for...It's My Mind's Eye. Just thought I'd mention it since I used MME paper on this card, too.
