I so love sketch challenges it's helping me get my mojo back, yay! Today's card is made using Sweet n' Sassy Stamps challenge blog called The Sweet Stop. I am loving the pendants that are so popular right now and this sketch was so fun to work with. For my card I used cup of cocoa.  The patterned paper is super old it's a  6 x12 pad made for the cricut called doodlecharms .&

For today's card I used another sketch challenge I just love them they help take the guess work out of card making . The sketch challenge I used this time is Mojo Monday's.   My image was a bit too large for the sketch so I turned it on it's side. I used one of the stamps from Stampin' Up's Greeting Card Kids I colored it in with my copics then I paper pieced her dress and added  a

For today's card I used the sketch form Sweet n' Sassy stamps challenge blog the sweet stop.  I thought it was an interesting sketch and I just had to use it with my so sweet cocoa stamp set. I love this stamp with little cocoa poking out of the doughnut. I colored the image in with my copics and added stardust stickles to the sprinkles.  I'm hoping I can get the hang of this

Wow I can't believe it's been over a year and a half since I last posted where did the time go? I know I said this last time but I really hope to keep up on my blog a little more than once a year lol. All but one of my kids are in school so that gives me more time to stamp and post. Well I recently purchased some kraftin kimmie stamps and started looking for inspiration when I came across the

I apologize for not posting or keeping you up to date. I just became overwhelmed and couldn't enjoy stamping. I would spend time in my scrap room and just stare and everything or organize it but I just couldn't make anything. On the rare occasion that I would make something I just couldn't bring myself to blog about it. My goal this year was to start blogging again. I've done it! I don't know

I had forgotten how much work a new baby is I knew I'd have less time for myself but I feel like I have absolutely no time at all. I'm lucky to even get dressed in the morning. Ever since I came home from the hospital with the baby one or more of my kids have been sick, then last Sunday the baby came down with a fever so we took him to the emergency room and had tests run well after staying two

I just wanted to let you know I had by baby boy on March 13th.I'm so excited he's here.The Dr. had planed to induce me this day so I knew a few days before what I didn't expect was when I went to the hospital we found out he had flipped again in to the breech position. Luckily the Dr. was able to flip him again to the right position, then induce me. At 4:28pm we welcomed Ammon Rhys Smith our

It's been awhile and I thought I would update everyone on how I'm doing. Last Friday I found out my baby was breech so Monday morning I had to do to the hospital to see if they could turn the baby. Luckily they were successful I was at the hospital from 6:30 to 10:00 and it only took the doctors about 45 sec. to turn my baby they said it was the easiest one they've ever had. Now I worry if it was

Wow it's been over a week since my last post and unfortunately I won't be posting much for awhile. I have no desire to stamp anything. Right now I 'm looking forward to having my my baby only three weeks away. I still have so much to get ready. I was looking forward and hoping my little one would come early but now my two girls are sick with a fever so I'm hoping the baby will wait a little

Last Thursday my daughter came down with a stomach bug or maybe it was something she ate because nobody else came down with it. Then came Valentine's day which is really no problem I mainly just celebrate it by giving my kids something I don't celebrate it with my husband because our anniversary is two days later which is today.

This is the last of Kimmie's challenges and this one we needed to use a boy or girl stamp with flowers. A friend of mine and his wife just had a baby girl so I thought I would make this card to send to them. Since I'm writing about babies did you know I only have 5 more weeks left of my pregnancy, and is it so bad of me to want my baby to come just 1 week early. I know I won't get much stamping

Chrissy asked me to be the guest designer for belli challenge #54 this is the second week how exciting. This weeks Belli challenge is to use doilies. I decided to make a box in abag instead of a card. You can find the tutorial here. It was so easy I don't know why I held off on making these it was so much fun. I used dcwv patterned paper and used the doily for the main image I used my circle

My photo is a little dark sorry about that. I made this for Kimmie's challenge # 5 to use patterned paper and hearts. I used dcwv paper and my heart is a confetti heart at the bottom along with the hearts in the dp that I used to paper piece the xoxo stamp but it's hard to tell that they are hearts. I have a lot to get done tonight so this is really short. Thanks for visiting.What I

Kimmie's challenge # 2 was a sketch challenge and to use embossing. For my card I used another doodle factory stamp this one is of the adorable robot named blip from the urban set. I used my cuddle bug embossing folder then sanded it so the white shows through. I also had to add the hugs stamp so I can use it as a valentine card for Courtney's challenge #24 to make a masculine valentine. Thanks

It's another one of Kimmie's challenges I have made cards for all of her challenges so you get to see them for the next few days. This one is challenge #1 to use purple and make it a birthday card. I don't really like this card much I think I should have put another white circle behind the purple scallop so it would stand out more but I had already glued it down and I didn't want to risk tearing

I had planed on posting this last night but instead I went to bed early. This card was made for another one of Kimmie's challenges this one is challenge # 4 to use an animal stamp and ribbon or rick rack. I just love these little doodle factory piggies from starving artists they are so cute I colored them in with my copics and put a little shimmerz on their snouts and the hearts. For the

This was the first time I have ever made one of these free standing pop up cards I was afraid to make one I thought it would be to difficult but it actually was pretty simple here is the tutorial I used on scs. I made this for one of Kimmie's birthday challenges she is having a week long celebration with challenges and prizes on her blog. This challenge is challenge# 3 to use pink and at least

I was trying to get all of Taylor's Year of cupcake sketch challenges done but, there were just too many and not enough time to get them done. I did do this one that was hosted by Jackie, and I'm currently working on another one but there is still 5 I never got to oh well. For this card I used another one of the faeries images I just love these they are so fun to color. I used my copic markers

I also used one of Taylor's cupcake challenge sketches TECC52VC. I colored her in with my copic markers and added shimmers blingz on her wings and the two hearts next to her I love that stuff it's so shimmery. Thanks for stopping by have
