I only wanna be wanted by you

You know how you start a card and then you look at the end result and think...okay how did I get there!?LOL! So today Im gonna steal a line from one of my fellow stampers...heres my story.. (hugs Cindy!) and warning this is going to be a long post!LOL!

Its challenge time at Kenny K for team B so I started out with this image b/c it was fave from Kenny K's new images just released last week. Shes a cowgirl so of course Im going to color mostly browns b/c our challenge this week was monochromatic. Well as I got everything colored I couldnt figure out another brown color I wanted to use for her top so I decided to give it just a pop of color and stick with mono for the card base. Okay so image is colored so I went looking for a some choc chip dp designs and came across this retired dp from SU. I dont remeber what the name of it was (maybe outlaw) but its the dp that matches the Wanted stamp set so of course now the wheels are turning and I go pull out that set. Now at this point a song keeps playing over and over in my head and its a song by a girl named Jessie James (LMBO!). This song actually used to be my ringtone when my hubby called. So b/c of that then I start making this card for him for a little fun. Since I know now this is for my hubby I started distressing some layers and embossed one of the layers with distressed stripes ef (note: dont distress then run it thru cuttlebug b/c then your dp is VERY easily torn b/c your distressed edges get flattened out in the cuttlebug so emboss first distress 2nd!LOL!) I stamped the medallion from the Wanted set onto the cs tone on tone then embossed it using the stars folder. So by now I've got all the dp layers attached and I have my ribbon and button on. When I put my image against the card it still needs something so I grab the wanted sentiment and hope it fits...good enough so I stamped it off twice and then onto the image. Great!! Now at this point I drop the stamp and have a brown smudge at the top of my dp so now we have stars there and I added one at the bottom just for a little balance. I decided then she had to have some bling so I added some rhinestones to the stars and the twine. Done! Yayy!! Now the reason for my story is this....I took pic of my card done the editing all that fun stuff and so proud of how my card turned out go to load into challenge forum for KK only to realize that ummmm....it was supposed to be a monochromatic CHRISTMAS card!!LOL!! Those blond roots must sure be deep!LOL!! So I hope you enjoyed my monochromatic NON Christmas card! I'll list copic colors below but I wanted to share this song with you since I've sang it all day on the post below. Have a great one!!

Cutie Tag

Today brings another Kenny K challenge. This week we are playing with tags. I decided to actually make a tag instead of just using a tag on my card. I have never made just a tag and I had alot of fun making this one. I even used a jumbo eyelet and I havent pulled those out in forever. I used nesties labels 14 for the top of my tag for a little something extra instead of just the normal looking tag. I used Queens Cutie from the Glam Gang and added some of the Christmas accessory images (the present and the hat) to make her a Christmas image. I love this set b/c with it you can make any of the KK images work for holiday cards or in this case tags!LOL! You gotta love any way to get more out of your stamps and you can even use the present for a bday card instead of Christmas. I colored Queens Cutie and the present up to match the Cosmo Cricket Jolly by Golly dp. Since I wanted some dimension on this I popped her up on the present. I also added some SU felt snowflakes and SU wild wasabi ribbon. I hope this has inspired you to make some tags and then come join the KK Krafty Girlz on the challenge blog here.

Skating Sparkle and Spots

Todays Kenny K challenge is an easy one for me. Sparkle and spots. I pulled out my MME glitter Christmas stack and paired it with this fun scene my Mama and I came up with. Mama was over here playing and we were messing around with Gimp and we had the idea to pair this fun skater girl image (last months freebie image) with the gift boxes so it looked like she was skating and knocked over the boxes. I love how it turned out! The image is colored with copics and I sponged some SU soft sky around the edges. I added some shine with my sakura clear glaze pen to her eyes and lips then I went over her earrings, bracelets, and zipper on her jacket with the sakura silver pen. I used this weeks Friday sketchers for my layout. It was a great layout to get me out of my CAS kick. I added some bling and pearls for some added sparkle. Im also playing along with the Crazy 4 challenges Christmas challenge. Be sure and check out the Krafty Girlz sparkle and spots creations and then come play along with us! Have a great day!

Drummer Danny

Now that October is finally over with I hope to be back to posting regularly again and not just DT stuff!LOL! I LOVE being on the DTs Im on but sometimes I wanna stamp just to stamp. KWIM?! Now even though this is one of Kenny K's images and Im on that DT I have been wanting to make this card for awhile now. I flipped when Kenny released these Rock Squad images. This image reminds me sooo much of my hubby that I had to use it and since his band played a big Halloween party Friday night I figured it was the perfect time to give him a "you rock" card!LOL! Of course the image is colored with copics to look like my hubby and I colored the drum kit like his. I also added his band logo to the drum head and he flipped when he saw that!LOL! I didnt want a busy card so I just added some faux stitching and some mini gold brads to the image. I still seem to be on a CAS kick but I had so much fun coloring this image I didnt want the card to be busy especially since I was giving it to my hubby. When I think of masculine cards I usually think CAS. I dont have alot of pics of him in the band but I found this one I took one night at practice and this pic is from Friday night. Blacklights and cellphones dont mix so its a terrible pic but I thought I would share it anyway. Danny couldnt play with his Papa Smurf costume on but it was too funny when he did have it on and Ricky the singer is a hippie. Matt is on guitar and he came out of his costume too!LOL! I didnt get Brandon on bass in the pic but he was Hannibal and he looked freaky!LOL! Have a good night!

Kenny K Guy Stuff

Sorry this is late. Im having computer issues so this post will be short and sweet. Today Kenny K is releasing some new Guy Stuff images. These images range from the nerdy boys to the blinged out guys to super heros. I used one of the super hero images for my card and paired him with the BG Wander dp. My sentiment is printed on the dp and is hard to read but it says "Hope you birthday is packed with POW!" Be sure and check out what the Krafty Girlz did with these images on our challenge blog here where the theme this week is anything goes! Then stop by the Kenny K store and take a peek at the new Guy Stuff images! Hope you have a Happy Halloween today!

Smitten Weather

...I mean mitten weather!LOL!! Today brings a new challenge from the Krafty Girlz at Kenny K and this week its a sketch from Donna. Yayy! I bet you didnt know I LOVE sketches!LOL! I did have to tweak the sketch a bit b/c I couldnt wait to color up Mrs Claus for this sketch. I mean come on!! She would melt any ice around!LOL!! Mrs Claus was released last week along with several other fabulous images from Kenny including an accesory set so you can turn in of your fave Kenny K images into Christmas images! Gotta love that!!
I resisted coloring her in the traditional red so I went looking through my dp for some inspiration and found this Cosmo Cricket mitten weather dp. I think she is rocking the purple outfit. I added LOTs of sparkle and shine to her too. For her eyes, boots, the bells and her lips I used my very much loved Sakura clear glaze pen. I added frosted lace stickles to all the white parts of her suit and hat. I added sakura gold to her belt and the bells. Then I added some Martha Stewart snow glitter to the ground and snowflakes. Be sure and check out the fabulous creations from the Krafty Girlz here!

A Cute Lion

Today's Kenny K challenge is pulling double duty!LOL! First up is a sketch by the Lovely Donna AND...we are showcasing some new images! yayy!! This new set of images from Kenny are called Cute Critterz. I used cute lion for my card and paired her with some MME Quite Contrary dp. I loved the flowers in the dp and used some circle punches to mimic the flowers. My oldest daughter had a fit over this card and has already taken it over!LOL! I guess that's a good thing right?!LOL!! Be sure and hop over to the KKKG blog to check out what the Krafty Girlz have created with these new cuties!!

All stitched up

It feels like its been forever since I made a Kenny K card. Our challenge today is stitching it can be machine, hand, or faux stitching. Since I dont have a sewing machine I added faux stitching...alot of it!LOL! I had a friend of mine come up to me last week and ask me to make a card for her daughter. She wanted LOTS of white, polka dots, flowers, and a sassy rock image. Okay so most of that I can handle. Kenny K's rock chick image is the first thing that popped into my head but...LOTS of white?! Uh HELLOOOO do you not KNOW ME?!!LOL!! I just got this polka dots ef and loved how it matched the size of the polka dots in the MME Quite Contrary dp. Of course I colored Rock chick with copics (listed below) and added some sparkle and shine using sakura clear glaze for her lips, shoes, and earrings, and I went over the guitar strings with the silver pen. Be sure and check out the challenge blog for the rest of the dts cards that will have you in stitches!LOL! Sorry I had to do it!LOL!

Copics: r81, 83, 85, bg23, 15, 49, b21, 23, 24, n01, 3, 5, v01, 15, 06, e000, 00, 11, 30, 31, 55, 57

Lady Raven

This weeks Kenny K challenge is to use pearls and swirls. I used Lady Raven and paired her with BG Junebug dp. I used a sketch challenge from somewhere but cant remeber who now since I made this last week and forgot to write it down. Of course Lady Raven is colored with copics and I added some sakura clear glaze to her lips and tattoos. The dp is sponged with antique linen and ran through the swirls ef. I had all my layers all ready put together minus the main image and realized I had no swirls on my card so I just ran it through and actually like it better!LOL! Check out the other pearls and swirls creations here. Have a great day!

Lime Rickey Bomb

Its Sunday so you know what that means...another Kenny K challenge. This week is Team B (my team) and we are up with a bold and bright challenge for you. When I think of bold and bright this BG Lime Rickey dp always comes to mind. I love the fun and funky colors and patterns in it. I paired the dp with Kennys Da Bomb image. This is my first time coloring her up. I just love her shoes! I used this weeks SCS sketch challenge for my layout. A great layout and I finally used my EK Success spiral punch. The "right on" sentiment is from TGF's Anya says sentiment set. I even pulled out my library clips. Now head over to the blog and check out my other DT members fabulous creations!!

Summertime Donna

Its Sunday so you know what that means....another Kenny K Challenge! Team A is up today with a "in the summertime" challenge. I could not resist playing since I've been dying to use this DCWV citrus stack dp and I thought it was perfect for this challenge. Im still playing with some of Kennys Gothik Angelz and colored Devlish Donna with copics. I've also been on a stickles kick lately!LOL!

Okay so a little info on this card...I started with Donnas hair and Im going to be honest w/you and tell you there are sooo many colors on here I cant even remeber what I used!LOL! I kept trying to get it just the way I wanted. She was so fun to color! I also got to use some new SU goodies. I used daffodil delight cs and ribbon on this card. After I had the card put together I thought it need something so I went back and added some paper piercing and lines to match the background in the dp. Its really hard to see in the pic but behind the flowers has line and dots and I TRIED to mimic that on the sides to give it a little something extra. I really wish I would have used yellow instead of red but I didnt have a daffodil marker! Sorry I dont have the copics listed if you would like to know the colors I can try to figure out what I used. Have a great day!

Mad Skillz with Pizzazz

I had alot of fun coloring this Kenny K image. She looks like my girls singing karokee on the Wii!LOL!!Betty asked me to make a sample for todays color challenge: Daffodil delight, pear pizzazz, and crushed concord. Of course I said YES!LOL! Since I dont have my SU order yet...fingers crossed for tomorrow! I had to improvise a little. I sponged the so saffron layer w/so saffron ink for a close daffodil delight. I stamped SU linen background on certainly celery w/versamark and sponged the edges w/versamark for a close match to pear pizzazz. For the concord crush I used Coredinations blue violet. I used Jens sfytt for my layout but changed the oval to a rectangle.

Copics used: r00, e00, e11 for skin, e93 and e95 for blush and tounge, r35, r37, and r 39 for lips, e50, e42, e43 for hair, bv00, bv11, bv13, and bv17 for concord crush, y11, y21, and y23 for daffodil delight, yg11, yg21, yg23, and yg25 for pear pizzazz.

Movie Star Hugz

Hello! Sorry I've missed posting a couple of days this week but this is the last week my neice and nephew are staying here and I've been getting lots of love to last!LOL!!

Today is the Kenny K challenge and Team A is up today with a sketch...and you know me I cant pass up a good sketch!LOL!! I've used Movie Star and she is so cute!! She looks to me like she's got her arms out to give a big hug so I used a hug sentiment on the inside. I paired Movie Star with some MME Penny Lane dp. NO telling how long I've had this!LOL!! I only have this one sheet though and its textured so I prolly ordered it at ATS. This sketch also gave me a chance to pull out some much neglected SU Hodgepodge Hardware. Talk about dust!LOL!! I ran some polka dot ribbon I got from the $1 bin at Michaels and tied on some twine. Its hard to see in the pic but I put some bling on the knot of the twine. Well thats it for me today. Monday I get to go to our classroom and start unpacking everything I spent a week packing 2 months ago! So not ready for the summer to be over!!

Copics used: hair e53, e25, e59, e49: skin r00, e00, e11: clothes v01, v15, v06, g20, g21,g24, e40, e41, e42

Download Diva

Today is the second Kenny K challenge and Team B is up with a sketch. I love this layout and will be using it again and I hope you want to play along too! For my card I used Kenny's Download Diva image and colored her using copics. I paired her with some BG Lime Rickey dp. I love the yellow and greens in this. So fun and summery! I was inspired by Toris sentiment panels. I love how she airbrushes them but since I dont have the airbrush system I decided to do some sponging instead. I sponged yoyo yellow in the center and went around the outside with pti new leaf ink. I also used some Bazzill bitty blooms and SU 3 flower punch for my flowers. Check out what the other girlz did here.

Olivia cutie

I know...surprise...surprise another Kenny K card!LOL!! Im sorry if you're tired of them but I just love coloring them!! I promise I do have something else to share tomorrow and then Sunday is the Kenny K challenge.

The image I used for this card is called Queens cutie and I just love the look on her face and I thought this sentiment from MFT just fit. I colored Cutie with copics and used my fave brunette combo e71, e74, e77, and e79. I used e000, e00, e11, and e13 for her skin. Rv42 for blush and lips. For her clothes and shoes I used r000, r11, r22, yg91, yg95, yg97, bg10, bg72, bg78, and c0-c9 to match the Olivia bg dp. I drew a line under her to ground her and colored using the c0-c3. This image is perfect for the out of the nestie technique so her legs are out of the box. I used Jens sfytt for my layout-another fabulous layout from Jen.

My little man had a great day yesterday. We went to his fave place to eat for lunch and then we went to a local place called Wilder's world. The kids love it! Its a huge place filled with those inflatable bouncing/jumping things, slides, everything. So they bounced their brains out yesterday and then we came home to fix his bday dinner of double decker tacos and strawberry cupcakes w/strawberry icing. Of course we had to finish it off watching Avatar on Netflix. Have a great day!

All that

well..not so much today!LOL!! This another card that Im not totally happy with, but Im sharing it anyway. Sorry about the pic too...I was running short on time and just had to go with what I had and there are alot of shadows on my card.

First off Im having a blast coloring up all these sassy and cute images from Kenny k. This one is actually called All that. I colored her with copics to match the MME jack and jill dp. I wanted to do something a little different so I decided to cut her out. I used Mercys sketch for my layout and then realized the bottom is supposed to be 3 panels not 4..oh well!LOL!! Just one of those days!LOL! We're heading out today to spend the day celebrating my baby's bday. Cant believe hes 7 yrs old today!! Have a great one!!

Troublemaker

I wanted to make a quick card before I met my lil sis for lunch today so I took a peek at the sketch. I already had my image colored so I threw this card together for todays sketch challenge. I colored this Kenny K girl using copics to match the BG euphoria dp. I only have one sheet and didnt know what it was until Pam posted a card for Mercys sketch last week. I added some cotton candy stickles to her ice cream and sakura clear glaze to her eyes, teeth, and lips.

Copics used

skin: e000, e00, e11, e20

jacket and shoes: v01, v15, v06 (lovin this combo!!)

Green At Heart Angel

Yesterday was an exciting day! We had a pool party for our birthday babies! I have 2 with a bday in July and Aug and my step sis has a little one who turns 1 today. So we had a big Toy Story 3 bday bash at my Moms yesterday. Yesterday was also the first challenge over at Kenny K's Krafty Girlz. The DT is divided into 2 teams and team A had the first challenge and its pastels. So pull out your pastels and Kenny K images and play along here and check out team A's gorgeous creations! Next Sunday team B (that Im on) will bring you another fun challenge.

Okay enough blah blah!LOL!! Onto the card..I got some goodies in the mail this week that included BG Green at heart dp. Ohhlala!! Love the colors in this! I had this KK uptown angel image waiting to be colored up so I grabbed her and colored her with copics. I tried a new (for me) skin tone on this one. I used r00, e21, and e95. I used e93 for blush. Her hair is colored using e13, e15, e17, e19. I was going for a khaki for her pants so I used e30, e31, and e33. For her shirt and shoes I used yr12, yr15, and yr18. I also added some orange peel stickles to her earrings and some clear glaze to her eyes, lips, teeth, and belt. I sponged memeto canteloupe ink around the nestie. I used Friday sketchers for my layout. A fun sketch but I had to try REALLY hard not to add a bow to that dusty durango polka dot ribbon!LOL! It really did look better without it though! I added some kraft brads and colored a paper daisy using yr18 and added a button and some pti twine. Well thats it for me today! Have a great one!!

Exciting News!

If you follow along on my blog you may remember a couple of cards I made with some new sassy and cute digis from Kenny K. I applied for the DT call and guess what?!?.....Yeppers!! I am a Kenny K Girl!! Yayy! You can check out all the other Kenny K Girlz on my sidebar along with the shop and a new challenge blog that will begin July 11.

So of course since I was so excited I had to make a card!LOL!! Hey we're stampers thats what we do!LOL!! I knew I wanted to use this Star image but I wanted to give her a more of a goth look. I went digging through my halloween dp and came across this BG dp from last Halloween. SCORE!! Love it! So I colored Star to match the dp and added some SU perfect plum (geesh cant even remember last time I used that color!) sponging around the nestie. Of course she had to have a little bling and sparkle so I added some black rhinestones to the stars, stardust stickles to her boots and silver stickles to her guitar. Oh and BTW Brayden says this is his girlfriend!LOL!!! I used Sketch Saturday for my layout. I think this is actually my first time playing along with their sketch-it was a fun sketch to work with. Oh and I was a good girl and wrote down my copics!
