Hello to Glamorous You!


My hubby isn't feeling too well today so he is sleeping and I am making cards! I have created this card for the Cinema Saturday Challenge #93-Annie-use red. It has been a while since I have participated in this challenge. I can't get It's a Hard Luck Life out of my head now! The inspiration was Annie as an orphan transforming into a cute little girl at Daddy Warbucks. She also had a lot of love to give. I also found this new challenge called Gingersnap Creations-Color Challenge-where the challenge is to use red and black.

The stamps that I used is Hero Arts for the dress and saying and the background is StampinUp embossed with white. I cut the tag with the Cuttlebug and added ribbon and bling. Thanks for stopping by!

a sweet little card ...


I have created this card for 4 challenges.

Penny Black #116-Summer Lovin'
Allsorts #67-Park Inspiration

you're so fabulous!


I think that I am stuck on making bright cards! I guess there could be worse things! I have created this card for 2 challenges. Stampin' for the Weekend #45-Anything Goes and Midnight Madness Sketch Challenge #68. The stamp is Stamping Bella and the saying is Hero Arts. The paper is Sasafrass Lass. I embossed the image with black and the saying with black embossing powder.I chalked the background. I used a glue pen and added the blue flocking for the dress. I got it in a kit so I am not sure what the technical name is for it! I added red bling and ribbon. the bead flower is K&Co and the punch is Martha Stewart.

Another bright card to cheer up a little girl


My friend told me that she was going to send a card to a little 2nd grader who had broke her elbow. Her son just got over an injury just like it. I told her that I had just the stamp for it and that I would make one for her. For the House Mouse Challenge #76 you were supposed to draw inspiration from the cute little photo of a mouse. My inspiration was the colors. I used the sketch at the Truly Scrumptious Challenge #39. I colored the image with Copic markers. The saying is Stampabilities. The paper is Sassafras Lass. I ran the yellow and teal panels through the Cuttlebug. I added flowers and bling. Hubby had to work this weekend so I have been cleaning the house, now just being lazy waiting for him to come home! Thanks for stopping by!

she's goin' to the chapel...


This is a fun card that I made for my future daughter-in-law. She and my son are getting married in October. This card is for her wedding shower next month. I used the colors at The Play Date Cafe #43. I also used the card sketch at Midnight Madness Sketch Challenge #67. The stamp is Shirley's 2 Girls. I embossed it with black embossing powder and colored it with Copic markers. I ran the blue and light green panel through the Cuttlebug embossing folders. I put pop dots on the saying and the bride. I added a ribbon and bling and Dazzling Diamonds. I just have to wrap my present and I will be ready for the shower! Thanks for stopping by!
