Home Sweet Home

Im on my way...Im on my way...Home Sweet Home!!LOL!! Sorry had to do it!

Im so glad to be back home. Tonight I have a card to share with you I made a few weeks ago. I used MFT I heart books set. I got this set at CHA. It was a must have for me because my kids LOVE to read. I think this bookworm is just soooo cute!! Alana loves to play the computer game bookworm too so thats what she thought it was when she saw the card!LOL! I colored the worm and books using copics using the colors from my MM dp and added ground using prismacolor pencils. Crystal effects were added to the glasses for a little shine. I sponged some versamagic sage ink to the top while my image was still in the nestie. I used my nail to distress the edges of the dp for an worn look. To finish off my card I added a sentiment and finally found a use for the library clips I have!!LOL! I also added two mini buttons. I love these tiny buttons! So cute! I love how this turned out!!

Stamps: I heart books-MFT

Paper: PTI white, coredinations blue and brown, MM dp slab from Michaels

Ink: memento, copics (forgot to write them down)

Accessories: mini buttons, library clip, crystal effects, rectangle nesties, dimensionals

No post today

Sorry! No post today! Im in Macon at a workshop for school. I planned to bring my card and upload once I got back to the room but Im so not a morning person and I overslept!LOL!! I will be back tommorrow with a post. Hope you had a great day!

Holy Hairy Dimension

I think I have more dimensionals on this card than I have ever used before!LOL! I used todays colors and colored up this silly monster available on Sept 15 from I heart papers. I wanted the monster to look like the purple people eater even though hes not one eyed or one horned!LOL! My FILs bday is on Halloween so I thought this would be a fun card to give him from the kids. I used Jens sfytt for my layout and this is how I ran into all the dimensions!LOL! I love the sketch but I had a hard time with it!! So glad Im not mailing this card!LOL!

All ears for Lori

Todays featured stamper is my sweet friend Lori! Yayyy Lori!! I had to case one of Lori's High hopes card since thats how we met on SCS! Lori and I also worked on THDT together. Mama and I actually got a chance to meet Lori irl at CHA and we had a blast! We laughed so much! Heres a pic of us after a long day!!LOL!!

Okay now onto the card...I chose Lori's We're all ears card. I used the same image and colored up the crows with copics and added some shadows using prismacolor pencils. I loved how Lori colored some of the kernels on the corn different colors so of course I added that too! I changed the layout to the wsc96. It was perfect since I wanted to use some new Recollections dp I picked up at Michaels yesterday. I stamped the sentiment from SU Lots of thoughts in more mustard and punched out with the ww punch and added a bridal flower. I added some paper piercing to finish off my card. This card will be on its way to Lori Tuesday to celebrate her special day!!


Stamps: We're all ears-HH, Lots of thoughts-SU
Paper: GP white, Coredinations blue, Corediantions brown, recollections dp
Ink: memento black, more mustard, versamagic wheat
Accessories: prismacolor pencils, gamsol, circle nesties, bridal flower, choc chip brad, sponge dauber, ww punch

Boo-tiful scrapling

I warned you I'd be back today!LOL! This is my first scrapling and I thought it would be perfect for a little card to slip in my kids backpacks! I just love Halloween and have really been ready to make some fun Halloween cards so I couldnt resist using this set coming soon from I *heart* papers. Sorry Kate I just had to!!LOL! When Kate sent me this set I just giggled! Such a cute and fun set. Look for the announcement for the two new Jannie Ho sets on my blog on Sept. 8! I outlined the ghost using copics w1 and w3 and then smoothed the lines with the colorless blender. I popped up the ghost and stamped the sentiment onto the SEI lime cs. That sentiment cracks me up! too cute! I also added some gingham ribbon, white brads, and some distressing to finish off my card. Who knew I could get all that on a little 1 1/2 x 4 scrapling?!!LOL! I think I'll stick a green lollipop on the inside with a glue dot and Alana will just love it!! Have a great day!



Stamps: Silly monsters
Paper: black, white, sei lime cs

She's ALIVE.....ALIVE!!!!!

LOL! Yes Im here and Im alive. I will not bore you with the long drawn out story about why Ive been away I will just say a big Thank you to anyone who comes to my blog and I truly have missed being able to share with you!! I love reading all of your comments..makes me feel all warm and fuzzy inside!LOL!

I was so glad to see Julias sanded challenge today. I love to sand the edges of my dp and I needed to stamp!!LOL! I colored up this sweet Singing Catrina image using copics (I had to get this image since my girls are both Hannah Montana crazy!) I had a hard time trying to match that razzleberry! Geesh!!LOL! I used primsacolor pencils for the shadows and sponged the edges with crushed curry. If you look real hard you can see I used Jens sfytt for this week but you have to look hard!LOL! It feels so good to stamp today even if I only got to do it b/c I had a child home sick from school today. I did actually get a couple more cards made so I will have something to share with you tommorrow too!! Yayy!! Dont fall out of your chair from shock now!LOL!! Have a great day!!
