For the love of the game


I feel like its been forever since I stamped!LOL! I couldnt let a sketch challenge go by without me doing it though!! I also used yesterdays color challenge for my combo card. When I saw the colors I thought they would be great for a masculine card. I love this set from H & M stamps. This set will be on sale Jan 6-7 for Heathers BIG garage sale!!! You wont want to miss it!!!!!I also had to use the diamond ef and prints b/c of the golf shorts/pants I see!!!LOL!!
Since its been awhile since Ive posted I wanted to update you! Things have been a little hetic around here the past week. We had family here from out of town and then my husband's granny had surgery the first of the week. We've done alot of going back and forth. We're hoping she will get moved out of ICU today!! Oh and I have to tell you we had the craziest day on the day of her surgery!!LOL! Different hospitals use different codes but if you are ever in Valdosta hospital and hear Code gray find a place to hide!!!LOL! (PS I can laugh about it now but I sure wasnt laughing then!!!)

Love turtles


Since I didnt get a chance to stamp yesterday I wanted to make a quick card for the sketch challenge today. I colored this adorable image from Whipper snapper (Thanks Lori!!) using gamsol magic. I used the scallop circle punch to make clouds then used daubers for the sky and ground. Cindy needs to come give me some pointers on my scalloped sky!LOL!!! Hope you have a great holiday!!!!

Go ahead and dance


I had some stamping time this weekend so I made a card for Laurens sketch. I thought it would be cute for this little dancer from H & M stamps. She is from Livin the girls life. I love the sentiment!! I used some retired dp called spring showers (I think!LOL!). I colored the girl with copics and went over the skirt (tutu?!!?) with diamond stickles. Can you tell my girls dont dance!?!LOL! They stay busy enough with cheerleading! I colored the bridal flower from Micheals with the copic too I just love how they shimmer!!

Just a click away...

Congrats to Paula todays featured stamper. I love Paula's gallery. She has amazing coloring skills. I sat just oogling her coloring trying to figure out how she does it!!LOL!! I cased Paulas bella card here. I changed the stamp to Clickabella. I kept the layout but used a ribbon instead of paper for the strip. I also left off the sentiment and added the brads and washers instead. I changed the dp and colors to the retired SU kit I think its the one that went along with Delight in life.

I carried the design to the inside of the card(except the ribbon and brads) and I handwrote the sentiment Just a click away...

Hope you have a great day!!!

This months theme is Obscure holidays. Did you know that Jan 13 is make your dreams come true day? Well this littlel girl from H & M stamps Livin the girls life is making her dreams come true livin like a rockstar!LOL! I used the DD sketchfor my layout.
I watercolored the girl using SU markers but Im not bragging about that!LOL! I havent used the technique in awhile and it seems I've forgotten how to do it!LOL! I colored two images and popped her up. It looks really cute IRL.
