Brigitta Cupcake

I thought I'd give yall a break from my Tiddly Inks images and show you something else tonight!LOL! But I will be back with some more TI images soon...Before I get onto the card I wanted to let yall know that Amber Ink that I had the privilege of being a DT member of is having their 1st bday celebration this week on their Amber Inklings blog. Be sure and check it out and stop back by tomorrow for a Bday Blog Hop!

For todays card I used a new to me image Cupcake Brigitta from ATS. Now yall know I love me some swiss pixies!LOL! I got the EK success cupcake border punch awhile back from Michaels and was waiting for the perfect cupcake image to pair it with. I combined Brigitta with some American Crafts dp (I think!?). This is also another one of the cards I made awhile back so of course I dont have the list of copics. I did lots of sponging with antique linen on this card though. The Happy bday sentiment is from an old retired SU set birthday banter. Well thats it for me today. Hubby and kiddos are out fishing so Im sooo enjoying a quiet house!!Ahhhhh!!LOL!! Have a good one!

Tulip Brigitta

Yes its true! I really made a card!LOL! I've actually had this card made about 2 weeks now and since its for the Sfytt for June and today is the last day I figured I might better go ahead and post it. Nothing like waiting til the last day!LOL!

I dont even know where to begin to update you on all the things that have been going on in the last few months so I just give you a few quick updates in no particular order. After a years fight with leukemia my Papa passed away in May. Madison was saved and baptized. We had a great week of VBS where I helped teach a class. My husband is no longer in the band. We have been spending June in the pool just about everyday. I've lost almost 20 lbs. As of now I've decided to give Pre-K another go for next year since this will be Alanas last year at our school (sniff sniff).

Okay now onto the card. Even though I've havent been stamping alot over the last few months I've still been visiting some of my favorite blogs. My blogs are like my coffee for most of you...my day just doesnt start right without it!LOL! Since I havent stamped in awhile I combined a few things I jotted down for inspiration to give me a little push. I loved how Lesa colored the tulips and her top with the dots in this card. I loved Amys and Susan's take on the sfytt so I used both as my inspiration. For my papers and colors I loved Linda's card here. Its fun to case your stamping friends! I love how this turned out and it was just what I needed to get my mojo going. Im still not sure how often I will post something weekly at least. Hope you're all having a great summer and I will do my best to stop by your blogs and leave some comments!

I heart Neva

Todays SCS featured stamper is Neva aka Mom!! Yayy!! I had to play along today and since she is the Queen of Combos I had to throw a few challenges into one card. I got 4 in this card. I used this weeks SCS sketch, technique challenge(handmade tickets), ATS anything goes challenge and of course the FS challenge. I colored Rosalie with roses from ATS using copics and paired her with MME Be loved dp. Thats it for me today! Enjoy your week Mama from your biggest fan! Lurv ya!

Ladybug Polka Dots

I made this card for todays SCS WT challenge. The challenge is polka dots and I've been away from my stamp desk WAY too long. I HAD to make something!LOL! Since I've had Ladybug Nora out and ready to be colored I decided to play along with the challenge. Sorry for the pic. I think its time for a new camera. I've been having alot of problems with pics lately which is why I havent been posting. I have 6 cards ready to show but cant get a good pic of them! Uggghh!! 2 wks until Spring Break!! Woo Hoo!! So very ready!

Rainy Day Honey

I thought this card was appropriate for today since we had a rainy day today and will have another tomorrow. I have been wanting to use my PTI simply chartreuse cs and ribbon so I paired it with some blue cs from American Crafts tropical collection. Its very similar to SU tempting turquiose so I stamped the sentiment in TT ink. No dp used here! Just some embossing and look at all that white!! I added some raindrops to the image and sprinkled some dazzling diamonds glitter on it and it ended up looking more like snow than rain!LOL! I didnt write down the colors on this one! Sorry! I colored this Honey image about a month ago. I think shes super cute! Hope you have a dry day tomorrow and if not...remember to play in the puddles!LOL!

Stamping Honey

Im back today with a little bit more Honey for you!LOL! This is stamping Honey. She is ready for some craftyness!LOL! I paired Honey with some dp I got from Die Cuts r us which is now Claudia and Company. Its one of their 6x6 sample packs and I *think* its from the MME Quite Contrary line. I love the design though b/c it gave me a chance to use my Martha Stewart border punch that I havent used in awhile.

All 3 of the new Honeys are available here. Thats it for me today. The sun is actually shining here and the kids are outside playing! Its so nice and quiet in the house I am in the mood to stamp! Have a great weekend.

Pirate Honey

Its release Day at All that scraps! This is my fave card from this release. LOVE Pirate Honey! I colored her to match the Basic Grey Eerie dp. I saw a card awhile back using a pirate image and this dp and jotted it down but cant remember where I got it from. The sentiment I used is from TGF Pirate Anya and Ian set.

My second card is Hairdresser Honey. I paired her with some MME Quite Contrary dp. I love her green hairdryer!LOL! I made this card as a Thank You for my hairdresser who just put in some fabulous highlights for me which btw made one of my PreK students ask me if I painted my hair when we came back from Christmas holidays!LOL!

Be sure and check out the other DT samples on the ATS blog and for your chance to win one of this months Honey digi images leave a comment on the preview post here.

Honey with puppy

I had this card scheduled to post yesterday along with details about the card and I guess its lost in blog land somewhere!LOL!

I used Honey with puppy digi image on this card. Honey w/puppy along with 2 other Honey images will be available from ATS on Dec. 10. If you havent joined us in the blog hop see the post below for details. I paired this sweet image with some Cosmo Cricket Fly a kite dp. I used an old sfytt for this weeks challenge. I love this layout. I added some faux stitching and sponging to the papers. I also used some ribbon from my stash that has been sitting for a LONG time! I think I got it from Ribbons and bows oh my but it was a perfect match for this dp.

Im so very behind (AGAIN!) on visiting blogs but I plan to get around to your blogs this weekend. I have 2 Christmas parties this week and we had McTeacher night at McDonalds on Tuesday so its just been a week where I'm home long enough to sleep!LOL! Have a good one!

A Honey Blog Hop

Welcome to our first Digi Honey bloghop. You should have hopped here from Mandi's blog but if you didnt you can hop back to the All that scraps blog and start from there. I know Mandi wowed you with her beautifully colored creation.

We are showcasing 3 new CC Designs Honey's Digistamps created by Christine Wooden. And because it is our last Honey Digistamp Release for 2010 we wanted to make it a special one so a few of our digi dt mentioned a bloghop and here it is We like to please you all hahahaa. So on this hop you will get to know Honey with umbrella, Honey with Turtle and Honey with Puppy. The new Honey stamps will be released on December 10th at 12.00 PM est. This is also the time that our bloghop ends so make sure you leave us all a comment on our blogs as we will pick 3 winners who will receive her/his favorite Honey of this new digistamp release. The winners will be announced Saturday December 11. Our new Guest Design Team member is mostly known as Caz but her name is Caroline Sears and you can view her blog here.

Okay now onto the card!LOL! I used Honey with turtle. She is my fave of this release. Just look at that adorable turtle and Im lovin Honeys longer hair on this image. I colored Honey with copics (listed below) to match the BG Origins dp. I love the bright yellows and greens mixed with the black and brown in this set of dp. I thought it was perfect to pair with this Honey image. I used SCS sketch challenge from last Wednesday for my layout. I even got to use my new lacey square nesties on my image and I pulled out my flower nesties since I didnt have a prima in the colors I needed. I also sponged some SU yoyo yellow around the nestie. Now its time to hop on over to Shelby and be blown away by her fantastic creation. Happy Hoppin!

Cool Sweetie Pie

Its that time of month again when Honey comes out to play! This month she is a Cool Honey. I paired her with some BG Urban Prarie dp that I thought matched this cool girl!LOL! Since she is such a cool girl I had to give her some sparkle so shes sportin a sparkling shirt and hairbow. I used Mercys sketch for my layout but I had to leave off the ribbon since I dug ALL through my stash and found zip to match this dp! SO I decided to add a small strip of the pink dp with some faux stitching and a button. The sentiment I used is from a Kim Hughes set (I think birds and the bees) but I just thought it fit this Honey pie (tee hee). Be sure and check out the ATS blog for more sneaky peeks at what Honey is up to this month!

BTW Im so glad to be back stamping b/c I was a SICK girl!! UGGHH! I mean sicker than I have EVER been in my life!! Those PreK babies have been giving me some icky germs b/c last Monday I had bronchitis and was just starting to get over that when Friday I got a BAD stomach virus that didnt leave until yesterday. I could not even hold my head up for 2 days without getting sick and my hubby was just about ready to take me to the ER so it was NO fun! Im actually starting to feel like a normal person again(well...as normal as I usually am!LOL!). Have a great day!

Hansel with Pumpkins Throwdown

Today I have a card for you thats a little less CAS. I still didnt use any dp on this one though. Im going to break out the dp again this since I think its pouting!LOL!

Hansel with pumpkins is an image from CC designs I just had to use before I finished up my fall cards. Hes just too cute! The color throwdown colors (kraft, tangerine tango, marina mist, and riding hood red) were perfect for this fall card too and since I hadnt used Marina mist yet it was a plus. I think I've now used all my new SU colors except the blushing bride. Since the color combo had kraft in it it also fits for this weeks Anyone for Anya kraft challenge. I used the Sweet shops sketch for my layout and I do love this layout! I embossed the riding hood red panel with the distressed striped ef and went over it with distress ink for a barn look which I thought went good with Hansel and the pumpkins. I even pulled out some SU stamps!! I used the circle of friendship set for my sentiment. Brayden has had a student teacher in his class since the first day of school and next week she finishes up her student teaching so this will be the card he gives to her on her last day. Have a great one!!

Copics used:
skin: e50, 51, and 53
Hair: y21, yr21, y28
Riding hood red: r24, r29, r46

Angel Honey

Well its seems all my amusement in my previous post about Ski Bunny Honey was all for nothing!LOL! I got the name wrong her name its Skier Honey...just thought I'd let you know that!LOL!

Today as promised I have Angel Honey to share with you. She is a cutie too. I used a couple of SCS challenges on this one. I dont get to play in the SCS challenges like I used to so I was glad to get a chance. I used this weeks color challenge-old olive, concord grape, and cherry cobbler. I love these colors together and couldnt resist using that concord grape again. I also the SCS sketch challenge for this week. Since I made my other two Honey cards on the simpler side I decided to still go with that but this time I went old skool on this card and made my own dp. I decided to go with a hear theme since she has the heart on her shirt so I stamped the heart onto old olive tone on tone and used my copic r59 marker to make the dots. I also embossed the cherry cobbler layer with the hearts ef. I did use nesties on this one but did no sponging. I added some sakura gold to her halo and stardust stickles to her wings. I also gave her eyes, lips, and the heart on the shirt so shine with my sakura clear glaze pen. All the new Honeys are available now at All that scraps. Be sure and check out some the wonderful creations of the digi team using the new Honeys here.

Oh and I almost forgot to list my copics

Olive-yg93, 95, 97

Concord grape-bv11, 13, 17

skin-e000,00, 11 r20 blush

Have a good one!

New Honeys

I told yall I had a busy week!LOL! Im back today with two super cute new digis from CC designs. Meet Cheerleader Honey and Ski Bunny Honey (hey that rhymes!LOL! Im so easily amused sometimes!LOL!) Both of these images along with Angel Honey will be available Friday from All that scraps. On my first card I've used ski bunny Honey(teehee..still laughing at that one) and I've paired her with BG Eskimo kisses dp.

I was in the mood for a simple card so I used one of my fave layouts and left off the nesties. I did add some razzleberry polka dot ribbon along with a felt snowflake for just a little something extra. I also added some white sparkly fluff that I got from Eclectic Paperie for snow under her feet but it is hard to see in the pic. Doesnt she just look ready to hit the slopes?!

For my second card I went MUCH simpler. Im telling you this is as CAS as I can get!LOL! I really wanted to keep the layout simple no fuss with dp or nesties and I actually LOVE how this turned out!! I colored her up with our school colors and even added at TC for Tift County Blue Devils on her sweater. I had so much fun coloring up this little cutie that I wanted her to let her shine on the card. I added some stardust stickles to her pom poms and bling in the corners. The blue cs I used is from Coredinations and I have to say I just love how it pops with the white! I know my Mom will LOVE this since i used her very favorite color combo! Shes a true blue devil!LOL! I really wanted to add some blue horns to her head like a headband...Wheres Amy with all her altering of images talent when I need her?!LOL! I found this blue copic combo on someones website and I LOVE it and I had the website and the copics I used for both images written down and I cant find it anywhere! (If you find it Mama let me know b/c I was at your house when we colored these). Now its time to go check out what the rest of the team did with these super cute digis and be sure and check back Friday for my Angel Honey creation. Have a great one!

Stamp Something Halloweeney

Its Friday!! Which means another Stamp Something challenge..just another reason to love Fridays! This weeks challenge is Halloween. I pulled out CC designs Halloween Brigitta and played with her for the challenge. Isnt she cute?! Love the spiderwebs on her hat and dress. Ive been spider crazy this Halloween for some reason!LOL! I used Anyone for Anyas color challenge of purple, silver (gray) and white to color up Brigitta and I also added in some olive green for her hair for some two toned hair. I used a lighter shade of purple (Coredinations cs) than I would normally use for Halloween colors but I like how it turned out with the black and silver. The spider web dp is from Echo Park. I used Jenns sfytt for my layout.For the Glitterbabes challenge I added silver stickles to the lines of the embossed spider web. I also added some my sakura clear glaze pen to go over the punched spider, her eyes, her wings, and the spider and web from her hat. I really dont know how I ever lived without this pen!LOL!! I went over the spider webs lines on her hat with the sakura silver pen-another must have for me. Lots of sparkle and shine on this cutie! Now go check out the other Halloween creations here.

Copics-purple rv91, 93, 95, and 99

Honey is also pulling double duty today because its Friday and that means another Stamp Something challenge! This week we are getting punchy!

Keeping with my promise to myself about playing in more challenges Im also entering this card in The Pink Elephant childhood challenge. I added LOTS of sparkle and shine for the Spoonful of Sugar challenge.

Okay now onto deets about the card. I colored Honey with copics and added some polka dots to her witch hat and skirt using my black copics marker. I added some copper stickles to her hair. My Sister and I ALWAYS had to add glitter to our hair whatever our costume was!LOL! And good grief does that stuff ever stink!LOL! I went over her eyes, lips, the spider and web, and the cats eyes and nose with the Sakura clear glaze pen(dont know how I ever lived without this!LOL!) I also stamped the polka dot background on the button with versamark and embossed with glitter ep since I didnt have a button to match. The dp I used is from MME its another 6x6 sample pack from Die cuts r us.

Fall Pyrus Brigitta

Hello! I hope you all had a fabulous weekend b/c I did! I had a blast with my daughter and her friends on a Girls Inc. field trip Saturday (a Disney on Ice Princess wishes show) and yesterday we had a nice relaxing day... AND I got a chance to make a card.

I got this Basic Grey Pyrus dp in my happy mail from Die cuts r us and paired it with CC designs Fall Brigitta. I LOVE this pyrus dp but I will admit I had a hard time with the colors on it. Dont really know why I just did. I had so many markers out on my desk I couldnt begin to tell you what colors I used where..except for the hair. I do LOVEY how her hair turned out! Its a color combo from the wonderful Amys blog-yr21, yr12, yr15, and e99.

I used the Friday sketchers challenge for my layout. I added some sparkle to her wings for the Basic Grey sparkle challenge. This weeks Raise the Bar challenge is FALL. Flower, At least 2 ribbons, and Lots of Leaves. Finally this weeks Pile it on challenge is cute and charming and I think this image definetly fits that! 4 challenges! Woo hoo! Thats good for me!LOL! Im usually doing good to get in one but I do sooo miss playing in challenges so Im trying to get back to playing in them and 4 is a good number to start with. Now Im off to comment on all my blogging friends creations b/c yes I have been a slacker blogger friend again. Im hiding my face in shame over here!LOL! Have a good one!

ETA: Looks like I was late for the Pile it on challenge so it was just have to be 3 challenges.

Under Wraps

I know Im killin yall with all these CC designs images this week!LOL!! Have I said before how much I ADORE these super cute images?!LOL!! After I made my witch Emma card I had to show Trevor some love too! I knew I wanted to give this weeks Sketch Saturday a try so I used Mummy Trevor from last years Halloween release. I paired Trevor with some MME spiders web dp and embossed the dot and black panels with the spider web ef. I also used a quickutz button punched out in the dot design and popped it up with dimensionals. I really love this dp for a masculine Halloween card so I didnt want to add any girly elements to it. I used some twill ribbon sponged with antique linen to "dirty" it up some and also sponged the edges of the dp and main image. I also used my cutter kit to distress the edges of the dp. Well thats it for me today! Hope you have a great one!

Meet Bramble Lastleaf

Really quick post tonight! This is a late post b/c I had a nice post all worked up and scheduled for this image and I guess blogger was hungry cuz it ate the post!!

Anywho...the new digis are now available at ATS and you can check out some of the dts samples using the new digis here!

Eerie Witch Case

I wanted to stamp this morning so I went challenge surfing!LOL! I cased this card from todays featured stamper. I was inspired by the framing so I used it on my card and changed the layout to the Sunday sketch. I also used the BG eerie dp for the Stamp something spots and stripes challenge. Emma is colored using copics and I added some black rhinestones but kept off any other embellishments since the card was so busy from the dp!LOL!

Stamps: Emma witch
Paper: Coredinations purple, eerie dp, pti white
Ink: copics
Accessories: circle nesties, labels 3 nesties, black rhinestones, dimensionals

Meet Spindle Mossyrock

She is a new fairy from the wonderful Amy who creates the fun Sweet November stamps. The digi dt are playing with these fun stamps this month over at ATS. I paired Spindle with some MME so savy dp. I thought the colors in it were perfect for her! I love that there are fallish colors in the dp. I colored Spindle with copics and cut her out with the curved rectangle nesties and sponged some antique linen around her while it was still in the die. I also used one of the labels dies for the purple flowered dp panels and I covered most of it up with the large image but there is also a scalloped panel under the image. No bows on this card just a strip of the wide so saffron ribbon and a couple of quickutz flowers cut from the dp. I had to use these flowers b/c they reminded me of the flowers in the purple dp. This layout was a little different for me but it was one of those cards that just took on a life of its own!LOL! Check out the other fabulous dt samples here. Spindle and a couple of her friends will be released on Monday Sept 13.

Paper: MME So savy, pti white, sage shadow
Accessories: quickutz flower, gold brads, labels nesties, curved rectangle nesties, SU so saffron wide grosgrain ribbon, PTI large scalloped border die, dimensionals
