So Sweet Cocoa

Here's a little 4" x 4" card I made with So Sweet Cocoa.....and I think the image is just that...sooooo sweet!



The main panel is up on foam tape, I added Espresso Pearls to the chocolate chips (fun!), and some platinum stickles to the cookies and on Cocoa's nose (more fun!)! Of course, now I'm totally hungry for some cookies, lol!....so maybe I should go find me some. LOL! Bye!

Just for You

Okay, this was going to be a tag but somehow ended up turning into a 4.25" square card....funny how we end up going in totally different directions sometimes, huh? The hedgie and gift is one big stamp (called Kisses) by Penny Black. I stamped it once on vintage cream CS and colored the hedgie; stamped it again on the Togetherness DP, cut out the gift and ribbon, and glued that over the base; and then stamped it a third time, colored the ribbon, cut out the ribbon and tag, and popped it up on foam tape over the DP. For embellishing, I kept it REAL simple...just some sewing and piercing.

Have a great Monday! I can't even believe it's November already...

Happy Halloween!

Ahhh....I'm seriously in LOVE with these Mimosa stamps from Bildmalarna. When I placed my last order, Cindy stamped me one of these CUUUUUUTE Mimosa Witch images (thanks, Cindy!) that I've been itching to color since I saw it on Suzanne's blog (click HERE to see her gorgeous card). This has to be THE cutest little witch stamp I've ever seen.

The main image is up on foam tape and I added three different colors of Stickles to her outfit and the milk she's pouring. Here's a close-up...



So are you off to do trick-or-treating today or did you do that last night? We're off to do that this afternoon with my brother, SIL, and nieces. Should be fun!

Autumn Lovin' Cocoa

I got to spend Saturday afternoon with my new friend Korin (owner of Sweet & Sassy Stamps) and she let me play with some of her stamps (fun!). Here's my very first Cocoa card...isn't that little mouse's face just the sweetest?! Love it!

Pink Snowman

Did everyone have a nice weekend? Ours was very nice...too fast though. When we came back from our geocaching yesterday, we couched out in our jammies and watched the last half of the race. I thought for sure Kevin was gonna win that one....dang!....oh well, third isn't bad at all!



I made another card with my sweet Be Jolly snowman and paired him up with this pretty Echo Park paper...I especially love this tree pattern! The snowman panel and the large DP panel are both up on foam tape, the stars are up on pop-up Glue Dots, and I roughed up the edges of the DP with my fingernail.

That's it for me today. I'm headed to the post office this a.m. and then it'll be time to work, work, work.....{sigh}

MFT Cheerleader

It's gonna be GORGEOUS here in PA today.....highs in the 70's and sunny! I had plans to clean all day today but then when we saw the weather, we decided that we should all go outside and enjoy the day as a family. So instead, I got half the cleaning done this a.m. (good enough, I say!) plus this card for my niece, who will be celebrating a birthday at the end of this month, and then we're all gonna go hiking and geocaching!



I thought this MFT Cheerleader that I got from Stamper's Dream would be cute for Courtney's birthday card. I paired it up with a sentiment from my MFT Birthday Balloon Jolinne set. The main image, sentiment and pom-poms are all up on foam tape, and I added some stardust Stickles to her uniform.

Okay, we're off to get some fresh air and much needed exercise!

It's a 12x12 page, the stamped image is from Bildmalarna (from Stamping Scrapping), and the papers are from Cosmo Cricket. Most of the clouds are up on foam tape. The Mimosa Umbrella image was stamped on Cryogen Irridescent White (from Paper Temptress), colored with Copics, two dots of stardust Stickles were added to her buttons, and popped up on foam tape as well.

Thanks for stopping by and spending some time with me today. {smile} Have a good one!

Mice on Leaf

Hi all. Hope you're having a great weekend. Mine has been AWESOME! I was lucky enough to hang out with Korin Sutherland yesterday at my local stamp store and then we went out to lunch together (I had sooo much fun with you yesterday, Korin!), I had to make a small trip to Wal-Mart, and then later last night Hailey and I went out shopping for stuff to make Halloween costumes. Today, me and my girls all had crafting projects to work on ....and I made this card. Ahhhh, all weekends should be this fun. {big smile}



The image is from Stampavie and it's called Mice Couple on Leaf. You can find it in the Tina Wenke section at Stamper's Dream. The sentiment is from MFT's Essential Sentiments clear set. Both clouds (also from MFT) and the main image are all up on foam tape.

Enjoy what's left of the weekend!
