believe ~ fms#111

I worked on a few cards this morning for some upcoming design team post and also found time to play along with sketch #111 over at Freshly Made Sketches.

For my card I used papers by Heidi Swapp and the tree element is by Fancy Pants. You can't really see it but I embossed 'believe' in gold glitter in the lower right corner. Should have went with black but too late now.

happy birthday

This week at Seize the Birthday we are using the same sketch as last week only this time around we are making a masculine birthday card.

I always create both of my cards at the same time so then I keep ahead of the game.

I used papers by Fancy Pants from the 'swagger collection' and added some score lines with my scor-buddy and then I  colored that cute little dog image and applied a couple pop dots and then added some glossy accents to the time.

Quick and simple my favorite kind of card to create.

Celebrate "man of the hour" - STB13

This week at 'Seize the Birthday' they are using the same sketch as last week but want to see Masculine cards. I always create both of my cards when the new sketch comes out.

Along with the sketch I used papers and embellishments by Fancy Pants from the "swagger" collection.

Happy Spring - BLD44

Its time for a new challenge over at By Lori Designs and this week we want to see Spring time cards.

I couldn't resist using this new image by Lori called 'lollipop prue'. Isn't she just too cute?

I used copics to color the image and the stickers, paper, flair badge and frame are all by Fancy Pants from the 'park bench' collection.

I hope you will play along with us. The challenge will last two weeks so lots off time to play. Make sure to check out the BLD blog and see what the rest of the design team came up with.

hello friend - SSSC171, LRW158 and TPE173

I am starting my New Years resolution early, and that is to use all of my stamps at least once. I am starting early as I figure if I start using all the ones that have never been inked now I will probably be done by 2016 if I don't buy anymore stamps.

I love the Pure Innocence stamps and this one has been sitting on my desk for about a month just asking me to use her.

When I saw Karen's sketch this week over at Sweet Sunday I knew her day had come. 

I colored her with Copics which is currently my favorite way to color other than paper piecing. I added some stickles to her wings and glossy accents to all the circles on her shirt, papers are by Fancy Pants Designs from 'the good life' collection.

I am also entering this in The Pink Elephant challenge this week which is to use your favorite coloring element and also Little Red Wagon challenge which is coloring.

Thanks for stopping by my blog today it really means a lot to me.

really good

One more quick card to share with you today. 

For this card I finally inked up this Technique Tuesday stamp (life is good) that I have had for over a year. It didn't ink up as nice as I thought it would but I still love it.

Papers are by Fancy Pants Designs from the 'life is good' collection. The flair button is by BasicGrey.

I used Karen's sketch over at Sweet Sunday for my inspiration.

buzz buzz

I took a long nap today so awoke with lots of energy and decided to play in the craftroom for awhile this evening.

I created this card using papers by fancy pants designs from "the good life" collection, the image and sentiments are by Pure Innocence called "honey bee". Don't you think she is just adorable.

I added some alpha washi tape, a couple enamel dots by My Minds Eye and some glossy accents to her pumpkin.

Inspiration for my card came from the newest sketch over at try stampin' on tuesday.
