Beauty & the Beach

Hi all! Hope you're week is going good so far. The weather here today is totally gorgeous so we spent the morning outside with some friends.

I made this card for today's SCS sketch (flipped sideways) using my Beauty & the Beach set from OCL. Granny is up on foam tape, I added Platinum Stickles to the sand, and some Diamond Stickles to her jewelry and glasses.

Catch ya later!

Let's Celebrate

I don't always get a chance to play along in the FS challenge on SCS, but man-oh-man, I love when I do!....especially when I see cute little cards like this one from Debbie, today's FS! I've never made a Labels One folded card, loved how she placed the images in the corners, and loved her colors so I kept all that the same. I just changed the stamps to my Impression Obsession Celebrate set and used some black gingham ribbon (only because I didn't have red...why don't I have red gingham??....I need to get some). I added a bunch of Gold and Candy Cane Stickles to the stars. The images were stamped in black Versafine ink and colored with Prisma pencils. The Lemon Tart panel is up on foam tape.



Thanks for stopping by and I hope you have an awesome Sunday!

I combined my sweet Penny Black Yearning stamp with a sentiment from my JustRite Birthday Centers Round.

The hedgehog was stamped in Memento Tuxedo Black, colored with Copics, and I added some Stickles to the flower and grass. Oh, and I also added some freckles to his cheek with a white gel pen and glitter pen. The papers are a combination of MME Lush Blue and Cosmo Cricket Earth Love.

CASE'ing LeAnne!

My fellow PA stamping friend LeAnne was picked as Sunday's Featured Stamper and I couldn't wait to CASE her. CONGRATULATIONS, LeAnne!



I chose to CASE her CAS26 Gingham Flower card....what an awesome CAS layout and I love how she paired a large flower with the gingham panel. For my card I used a bloom from my OCL Pretty Petals set and sentiment from Say It with Flowers. The bloom was stamped in Memento Black and colored with copics, I added some Fruit Punch Stickles around the edges, and popped it up on foam tape. The plaid scalloped square behind the bloom was cut from my Report Card DP and it's also up on foam tape.

Thanks for the inspiration, LeAnne! It was so fun to CASE you. You are bloomin' fabulous, girl!

Good morning! Hope your week is off to a good start! The sun is shining bright here in PA this morning, the humidity we had yesterday is gone, and last night we enjoyed a really fun dinner out with my brother, SIL, niece, cousins and their boyfriends.

Hope

Hi all! While my daughter was eating breakfast this morning, I made this card for the CAS-tastic challenge (focus on sentiments) and Friday's Fall-to Layout 92. Whenever I hear about putting focus on sentiments, I think of JustRite stamps so I pulled out my Hope set from Stamper's Dream. Both labels one nestie panels and the large swiss dot panel are all up on separate layers of foam tape. All edges were sponged with Memento Rich Cocoa ink and the plaid ribbon is by May Arts.

Have a fantastic day!
