Happy Birthday Teddy Bear

Hello all! I hope you all enjoyed the blog hop over the weekend! Did any of you win anything? I had one lucky winner of the Stampin' Up! Sale-a Bration stamp set on my blog. She will be getting it by the end of the week! On to my Teddy Bear birthday card.


I used alot from my stash- but am really happy with the outcome. What do you think?

Happy Birthday Mo Digi

Hello everyone! I hope you all are having a fabulous week! Spring hit- and so did a snow storm here! YUCK! I am so ready for spring. This card I made using Mo's digi stamp. Isn't she cute? She is colored with prismacolor pencils using the gamsol technique. I had some embossed panels in my stash, along with some grosgrain ribbon. I hope you like her as much as I do! The little flowers are Recollections. I love these, and sad that Michael's has discontinued them! :( I bought them on clearance for $1.50! I should have bought more! Silly me. I used a SU stamp, and chalked the edges of the image and sentiment with cat's eye chalk ink.  I hope you enjoy the card! Let me know what you think! :)

Little Miss ATTITUDE

HAPPY MONDAY EVERYONE! I hope you had a fantastic weekend! I spent mine with my family. I also enjoyed watching the Packer game! I am happy they are one step closer to the Super Bowl. Today I am showing you a layout I made for my youngest daughter Brittany's scrapbook. I used the Alphalicious cartridge for the title. The letters were cut at 2 3/4 inches in shadow and regular font. The flourish was cut from an accucut at my old LSS. I used Blue Viva Decor pearl pen for the accents on the prismacolored digi girl. She is a Mo Manning digi. Isn't she so cute??? I had to use her for this layout. It fit perfectly. The journaling section is also a free digi, but I forgot where I got it from. (sorry!)

I hope you all enjoyed my layout! I will be posting more this week- I have made quite a few this weekend, and am DETERMINED to get caught up with my childrens scrapbooks this year! I am several years behind. Please let me know what you think!

Thank You Card

HAPPY FRIDAY EVERYONE!!!

I hope you all had a wonderful week! I made this Thank You card last night, and really love this little girl! I got this image from a crafting  buddy of mine, Teri. Thanks so much Teri! I hope I did her justice! :) I used smaller notecard base to make this card. I used spellbinders nestabilities to cut the scalloped circle. I then embossed that scalloped circle using the Divine Swirl embossing folder. I colored this little girl using prismacolor pencils using the gamsol technique. I added some sheer ribbon, punched from my SU punch, and stamped sentiment with my SU stamp set, Smooch Spritz for shimmer, some bling, and inked the edges with Timber Brown Staz-On ink. I used Viva Decor Blue pearl pen to add a little oomph to the sentiment. Thanks for looking! Let me know what you think!

Have a great day!

Hot Cocoa Card Mojo Monday Challenge

This is my entry for the MOJO MONDAY blog! Its a really fun card, and I am in love with it! I hope you all agree! I used a Sugar Nellie Stamped image that my wonderful friend Jessica has stamped forme. I also used the Christmas Cheer cart to create the cute little tree tag. The ribbon is discontinued Stampin Up! I am unsure what the embossing folder used in this background. ENJOY!

Happy Birthday Steph!

This card I made for a good friend of mine! I sure hope she likes it! Happy Birthday Steph!

I used a Stampin Up stamp for the sentiment, and a stamped image that was colored I got from Peachy! Thanks so much hun! :) I distressed the edge of the stamped image, and inked both stamped sentiment and image with timber brown Staz-On ink. I chalked the edges of the base of the card with VersaMagic Chalk ink.

Please let me know what you think!

Have a wonderful day!

Reminds me of Fall

Here is a card I made using a Whiff of Joy Stamped image. I got this gorgeous girl from my sweet friend Jessica! I can't thank her enough for sending me such adorable images to color! Thanks so much! I figured this could be used for a simple note card, or a thinking of you card. I used the ribbon because it reminded me of cooking- the pattern of the ribbon. I used a paisley background from a few swaps I participated in on the Cricut Messageboard. I chalked the pattern, chalked the edges of the image to tie the two colors together. I really like how it turned out. It reminds me of fall... not sure why... but it does...

Tell me what you think! I love receiving comments to let me know what you think of my creations!

Similar Children's Birthday Cards

This stamped image was from a stamped image swap. Cute little monkeys blowing bubbles... I thought, HEY! THIS WOULD BE CA-UTE FOR A CHILD BIRTHDAY CARD! So, I took that idea, and ran with it! I had some bright colored embossed card front panels. Number Collage and Happy Birthday Cuttlebug folders were used on these, along with a Stampin Up! stamp. I used Prismacolor Pencils to color the image, using the gamsol technique. I hope you like them as much as I do! Comments are great to let me know what you think!

Thanks for looking!

Another Christmas Card

Here is another Christmas card that I made with non-traditional colors. This was colored with Prismacolor pencils, using the Gamsol Technique. I brightened up a few spots with doodle dots using the white sakura gel pen. I used a bit of stickles to add some pop, divine swirls embossing folder on the backround, and sheer ribbon as well! Please tell me what you think! Enjoy!

Happy Birthday Card for Kayla

Hello everyone! I am happy to show you a card I slapped together! HAHA! Yes, slapped together- made this card in 15 minutes while rushing out the door on Friday evening! I had some stamped images on hand, some embossed cardstock from a swap, so I quickly decided what I'd like to do. The birthday card was for a 17 year old girl. Hard to decide what to do, when they are that age! HAHA! So, I decided a Tilda stamp was appropriate, with the Happy Birthday embossed cardstock. I took some Distress ink over the cardstock (Tim Holtz Broken China). I colored the Tilda image with prismacolor pencils using the gamsol technique. I raised the image using pop dots, tied light blue grosgrain ribbon, added a swirl clip, and tada! I hope you like it! I impressed myself by getting this done that quickly, and was still happy with the outcome!

I love comments! Please let me know what you think!

Lily of the Valley Miss You

Here is a card I fell in love with after I finished making it! I hope you, too like it as much as I do! I got the stamped image from my friend Peachy. I sure love coloring with Prismacolor pencils! I keep hearing about all this copic talk, and I just dont think I can move away from these fun pencils! Let me know what you think!

Daffodil Card

Good Morning Everyone!

Here is a Daffodil card I made that you could use for any occasion.

I used the Abundant Hope Daffodil Stampin' Up Stamp using StazOn ink. I used pop dots to make the image 3-D. I also used my new addiction- epoxy stickers by recollections to put the little blue and green dots on the two opposite corners.

I colored the stamped image using Prismacolor pencils and the gamsol technique.

I think it turned out nice. Please leave me a comment to let me know what you think! Thank You!

Fairy Friend Card

HAPPY FRIDAY EVERYONE!!!


Here is a cutsie friend card I made using a fairy Inkadoo clear stamp. I stamped the image using Timber Brown Stazon Ink. I colored the image using Prismacolor Pencils and the gamsol technique.


I chalked the edges of the yellow cardstock and the stamped image using Dark Brown Cat's Eye Chalk Ink. I used some bling to jazz it up, some prima flowers, and a cute epoxy sticker I got from JoAnn's. It says "A friend is a gift you give yourself." I pierced the edge of one side, and used a scallop scissors on another edge, then distressed the edges of the yellow cardstock. I used Popdots to make the image 3-D.

Terrific day for a Birthday Card!

Happy Terrific Tuesday Everyone!!!

Today, as promised, I am showing the birthday card I made. I really like the effects with the glitter that I used. I am addicted to the JoAnn's Essentials Crystal Glitter... it's on sale at JoAnn's this week! I used prismacolor pencils with the gamsol technique on coloring the image. I received this image in a stamped image swap on the Cricut Messageboard. Isn't it just darling?! I used stickles to jazz things up a bit here and there, and chalked the edges with VersaMagic Chalk Ink Dew Drop. I am unsure of the maker of the ribbon I used, but I love the effect it leaves with this card! I also used some of my own decorated skittles to finish the card off.

Colored stamped image, and watermarking tryout...

I colored this image for two people. My best friend, and my friend/partner in my GIBBS ROUND 2 swap! I really like how it turned out! I used Prismacolor pencils using the gamsol technique. I will be putting this image on a card...

I also am trying out watermarking my images using the free photoshop online. So far it's not too bad. Definately different than what I am used to doing for posting pictures on here, but it is a trial and error!

Please tell me what you think about this image. I really really love receiving comments! Makes me feel like people are actually looking at my blog!
