The moon and stars...


I have created this card for 3 challenges.

Midnight Madness Sketch #47
Play Date Cafe #23-shades of blue
Stampin' for the Weekend #36 -ribbons and bows

I actually heard this saying on the radio today and I knew I had this stamp so it gave me the idea to make this card! The stamps are StampinUp. I embossed the stars in silver and the moon in Zing blue and then colored with Copic Markers. I sponged blue around the edges and the saying is done with varying shades of blue. I added stars, ribbon and bows. Thanks for stopping by!

She always ate dessert first!


I have created this card for 4 challenges

Cinema Saturday Challenge #72-Julie and Julia
Stamp Something-Doodle Something
Get Sketchy #31
Colour Create Challenge #41-pick your own pastels

I think of this movie as being named after me because there are certain people in my life (like my father-in-law and my Aunt but they are in heaven now) who always called me Julie! I liked this movie and it gave us a look into Julia Child's early life. These die cuts by Etcetera reminded me of Julia in that era. The pink paper came in a card kit by TPC Studio. The blue paper is Creative Memories that I stamped with French Script by StampinUp. The saying is Queen Kat Designs. I doodled little hearts around the circle. Thanks for stopping by!

The ribbon is 7 Gypsies. Thanks for stopping by!

a naughty mouse...


I have created this card for 2 challenges

House Mouse Challenge #65-a sketch
Stamp Something-Distressed Somethings

I just love this stamp, I had to get it of course! This little mouse has been a little bit bad, kind of like my dog today! He had an accident in the house:( Anyway, I colored it with Copic Markers and the saying is Penny Black. The papers are Autumn Leaves that I distressed and I crumpled the striped paper. I added the staples to make it look like it is patched up like the cup! Thanks for stopping by!
