CTD224 Floppy Bunny

Hi everyone! It's Color Throwdown time and Lori is our hostess this week.  These colors she picked are so sweet...

Here's my card...

The stamp is Floppy Bunny by Whipper Snapper Designs, it's colored with Copics (0, Y00, G21, G40, V12, V15, V17, R20, R81, R83, and R85), and I added some Stickles to the bunny's tail.

Be sure to check out what my CTD sisters have created for you today or you can click on over to the Color Throwdown blog to see everything all in one place.

Sunnin' Mouse

I've had a lot of extra time to craft lately (my transcription hours have been cut and I'm VERY part-time now....which is totally okay....I think I was burned out from it anyway) and it's been really fun to participate in so many sketch challenges again.  This one is for Sweet Stop Sketch #159 ("Sketch with a Spin") and I added ruffled ribbon for the "spin."

The "Sunnin' Mouse" stamp is by Whipper Snapper Designs and the sentiment is from my MFT "Beach Bum" set. The main image circle is up on foam tape. I paper pierced the scallops with an Ornare piercing template (they stopped selling this one, but I think they should bring it back...I love it!) and then traced in some lines with an orange SU marker. Stickles were added to the sand, sunglasses, and floral shorts.

I want to BE this mouse right now....on the beach...sunning....ahhhhh! :)

Copics: 0, E41, E42, E43, W1, Y32, YR15, YR21, YR24, YG11, YG13, YG17, R00, R02, R81, R83, R85

Hope you have a great Monday!

Tweetie Pie

Hi all and helloooooo weekend! We just got back from Kara's soccer game and it is SUCH a gorgeous day out there. I love it!  We're having one of Kara's friends over for a play date today and I think we'll all be outside enjoying the sun.

I was up early this morning so I made this card before we left for the game.  The stamped image is called Tweetie Pie by Whipper Snapper Designs, the sentiment is from My Cute Stamps, papers are Ooh La La by My Mind's Eye, and the layout is Deconstructed Sketch #52.  The punched sentiment and the kraft diamond-shaped panel are both up on foam tape.  Stickles were added on the dots around the image and to the pie.

Have a REALLY awesome day and I hope you get to enjoy the sunshine, too.  :)

Ants in a Picnic Basket

I LOVED yesterday's Mojo Monday sketch and just HAD to play. I used this Whipper Snapper Designs (Ants in a Picnic Basket) image that I colored over the weekend. 

Papers are Quite Contrary Jack and Jill by My Mind's Eye. The sentiment is from my MFT Essential Sentiments set and the ribbon die is also from MFT. The sentiment ribbon is popped up on foam tape. Stickles were added to the tablecloth, hearts, and random dots around the image for some sparkle. 

Copics used: E41, E42, E43, W1, W3, W5, R20, R22, R24, YG11, YG13, YG15 


Thanks so much for looking and have a great day!

Happy Cluckin' Birthday

Yes....I, of course, had to make a CARD with chickens...lol!

The chicken stamp is by Penny Black and the curved sentiment is from Anna Wight's Crazy for Chickens set.  The main panel with the chickens is up on foam tape.  Papers are Farm Fresh by October Afternoon and I added Stickles to the balloon, straw, and flowers. Here's a close-up of the curved sentiment...

In my last post, I mentioned that I'm doing a mud run this coming Saturday and that Hailey and I had made the shirts for everyone on our team.  Andrea said she'd like to see a pic....so here they are....

All I did was iron the shirts and iron on the turtle appliques.  Hailey did the lettering on all 9 t-shirts.  "Fast and Dirty Turtles"...lol!...that's us!  :)

Have a great day all! I'm off to go walking with my friend Dawn and then I gotta hit Walmart and Lowe's.  Go go go.....

Floppy Bunny

Hi all! How's your Saturday going? I went to breakfast this a.m. with Carol (had a REALLY great time), came home and helped hubby strip the rec room floor, went to yoga, and now we're just going to relax for the rest of the night.



I've had this Whipper Snapper Floppy Bunny image colored up for about a week now and finally made it into a card this morning before I left for breakfast. The CAS layout is just something I threw together using scraps. Not sure if I'm totally in love with it, but it'll do. The sentiment is up on foam tape and I made it on the computer.

We just got some new living room furniture. We still have a plaid chair/ottoman and two plaid pillows coming (in 6-8 weeks), but this is what we have so far. I'm so excited!



...and last night we went to PetSmart to buy Rusty his OWN new piece of "furniture" so he stays off our new stuff. He's NOT happy about it.....you should see the dejected look he keeps giving us because he soooo wants to get up on the couch. He's been allowed on the furniture for 12 years....so this new "rule" will take some getting used to. :)



Have a great night!

Hope

So this card was made for someone going through a breast cancer scare. {shaking my head}....breast cancer touches TOO many people. I won't get on a soapbox with all my thoughts about that horrible disease, but I will say this....if you're due for your yearly mammogram, *please* go get it done. :) Early detection really is key. Okay....'nuff said about that....



The stamp is from Whipper Snapper Designs. It's one of Anna Wight's cling sets called "Think Pink." Papers are "Howdy Doody" by My Mind's Eye, I sponged the paper doily with Ranger Vintage Photo ink, and I popped the main sentiment panel up on foam tape. I cut two butterflies out with Verve's Flutterby die and popped both of them up on foam tape as well. The layout is Freshly Made Sketch 22.

Hope you have a REALLY great Sunday! NASCAR is back so that's what will be on our TV today. :)

Happy Cluckin' Birthday!

....bwahahahaha, I seriously L-O-V-E that sentiment. Cracks me up every cluckin' time! :)

I made this card for a girlfriend of mine...and I think she'll get a real kick out of the sentiment....heehee!! Stamps are by Anna Wight for Whipper Snapper Designs. The stamp set is called Crazy for Chickens.

Yesterday I took Kara shopping for new pajamas (and oh man, was the mall CROWDED!!...as in the-week-before-Christmas crowded), got some for myself and Dan, came home and we did some more yard clean-up from the snowstorm. There are now three HUGE piles of limbs in our yard....hmmm, maybe we should have a bonfire....

Anyway, we have some more yard clean-up to do today and I still need to get all the potted plants off the deck.

Have an awesome Sunday!

HYCCT Think Pink

Instead of working yesterday, I went out to lunch with my daughter Hailey (yay!), took her to the salon to get a feather extension in her hair (fun!), and then made a couple cards (whoo-hoo!). Here's one of them...



This one is for Teresa's HYCCT heart challenge. I used Anna Wight's Think Pink set for Whipper Snapper Designs. Here's the inside where I used the BC ribbon from the set and popped it up on foam tape.



Okay, so since I blew off work yesterday, I have some serious "making up" to do. On that note, it's off to work I go.

Have a really great day!

Hope You Can Cling To

Hi all! I have a card to share with you today for one of the Hope You Can Cling To challenges on SCS. If you're not aware of the HYCCT card drive, you can read all the details by clicking HERE. Breast cancer is very near and dear to my heart because I lost my grandmother to the horrible disease back in 1998.




My buddy Lori is hosting a color challenge today and here's the card I made for her challenge.....



I used one of my favorite Whipper Snapper Designs images (Good News Puppy), colored it with Copics, and added Stickles for some pretty sparkle.



If you get a chance, head over to SCS and play along in the challenges, and most importantly be sure to mail off those cards to the UT MD Anderson Cancer Center. HERE's the link again to the challenge forum where you can find three challenges posted each day throughout the month of October. :)

Have an awesome day!

Sweet Stop Sketch 103

Hi all! It's time for this week's Sweet Stop Sketch #103.

I haven't inked up my Good News Puppy for a long time, so I decided it was high time to do it. Isn't he sweet? Love him! I paired it up with a sentiment from my Sentiments clear set. The main panel is up on foam tape and I added a bunch of Stickles to the image.

Here's Korin's sketch if you'd like to print it out and play along.

New Whipper Snapper Release!

Hi all! Today Whipper Snapper Designs is releasing two new cling sets by Anna Wight. Click HERE to see the featured designers gallery on Splitcoaststampers or HERE to see the sets on Anna's blog.

I have two cards to show you today. Here's the first one....



It features a sentiment from the new set called Got Mistletoe. I paired it up with my sweet Bundled Up Mike....one my favorite winter images! I added some Stickles to the snow and pom-pom on his hat.

Here's the second...



On this one, I used BOTH new sets from Anna. The snowman is from For the Love of Snowmen and the sentiment is from Got Mistletoe. The circle with the snowman is up on foam tape, I added white Sparkly Fluff to the hat, and diamond Stickles to the snow on the ground. Tip: If you want to have a sentiment on an embossed panel, stamp the sentiment first and then emboss it.

Thanks for stopping by and I hope you have a really great day.

Just a Blog Hop

Happy World Card Making Day! I've been SOOOOO looking forward to today for two reasons. One....I'm off in Wilmington, DE to enjoy a Copic class with Suzanne Dean...eeek! I'm so excited to see how that girl works her magic with Copics! Two....Jami Sibley had this SUPER FUN idea to put together a blog hop to stamp *Just for Fun*...choose either a new uninked stamp or an old favorite, choose a challenge to play in, and create a card and then mail it to someone.

If you came here from Charmaine Ikach's blog then you're right on track with the hop. If not, then you'll want to head over to Jami Sibley's blog to start the hop from the beginning. Next stop on the hop after me is Emily Gunnell.



I decided to use one of my favorite Whipper Snapper stamps that hasn't seen ink in a very long time. I think it's SOOO adorable and totally makes me happy. The Labels One nestie shape is up on foam tape and I added some diamond Stickles to her wings and the bubble dots. Thursday's Cute Card Thursday Challenge was to make a card with a time theme so I included the sentiment that came with the stamp....



Now hop on over to Emily Gunnell's blog and see what fun she has to show you today.

Thanks for visiting me.
