I used this great sketch from From the Heart.

Then I went to Catch the Bug and found this great color inspiration.
Perfect for a vintage look!

New Birthday Chick!

I have to show off this great project that my mother just created.
After many, many, MANY years of telling me she was NEVER getting into
scrapbooking, or card making, my mother has ventured into our world.
 
Today she has made her very first project.
This is also the very first time she has ever used her Copic markers
 that she got for her birthday.
Which, I must say, she did a fabulous job with.
 
 
She used this adorable Birdbrain Birthday Chick from From The Heart stamps.
She used some really cute paper from a DCWV stack.
 
I am so proud of her!
 
I would like to enter her into the following challenges:

Hockey!!

It's hockey time!!!
Most people don't know this about me, but I loooove hockey!
I don't get to see much of it, but I do love me a good game.
My daughter and I get to see about one game a year in person.
I really wish we could see more.
 
The other day I came across this great stamp.
It is absolutely perfect for my daughter and me.
 
This is a great Lacy Sunshine stamp.
I couldn't decide exactly how to color it, so I decided on doing 3.
When you can't make up your mind, just do them all!
 
I was inspired by this great sketch from From the Heart.
 
Sketch054.jpg
 
I combined this sketch with this great quote I found on Pinterest for inspiration.
 
http://www.pinterest.com/pin/138696863498598184/
 
 
This is the first one and the original.
 
 
 
My second tag is for the Kentucky Thoroughblades.
This was the first hockey team we had ever seen in person.
Unfortunately, they didn't last very long.
 
 
The third tag is for the team that we get to see now.
We now root for the Knoxville IceBears.
 
 
 
 
 
I love this stamp!!
I tried to do each tag to represent each team's colors and logos.
Lots of layers and different designs. So much fun!!
I am going to put these tags on a scrapbooking page with our hockey pictures.

My daughter has a birthday party to attend today.
So, I decided to make a pretty little tag for the birthday present.
 
I was inspired by this great color challenge over at Catch the Bug.

I used this adorable little digi stamp from Wee Stamps.
 
I added a little bit of glitter to the fairy's wings to add a little bit of sparkle.
Then I added some beautiful cream and brown laces, and some
flowers in cream and pinks. I put a little pearl for the center of each flower.
 
And of course topped it all of with some pink, creams, and brown fibers.

Get Well Soon!

I have another cute card to share with you today.
 
I had a close friend that I wanted to make a very special Get Well card.

 
 
I used some really pretty rose paper, and some very sparkly pink paper for the background.  I also added some purple glitter paper with an eyelet diecut, and some cute paisley paper.
 
I used an adorable Bugaboo image and added a pretty pink fabric rose
and 3 pink buttons for a nice final touch.

I made this beautiful little baby card for a very special friend of mine.

 
 
I used this cute little stamp from Sassy Studio Designs, Glowing Gwen.
This is actually for a little girl.
They are naming their baby Daisy, so I wanted to use some pretty
daisy paper and some adorable pink flowers.
 
I decided I wanted to make the present a little extra special,
so I made a tag to match the card.

For this fun challenge I got to use a fabulous stamp by Stamp N Doodle.
 
 
I love this stamp!!!
I colored the cowboys with my trusted Copics.
(I even added a Skoal ring to one of the Cowboy's back pocket -my Mom's idea)
 
Added some DCWV Burlap stack.
I also added some brown paper to look like leather.
Easy to make!
All you have to do is wet your cardstock, crumple it up,
spread it back out, and dry.  Easy huh?
 
Lastly I added the lyrics to one of my favorite songs, "My Heroes Have
Always Been Cowboys," to the outside edge of the card.
 
It is so hard to find a good manly stamp that suits my guys.
But this one is perfect!!

Happy Valentine's Day Cupcake!

Happy Valentine's Day!
Or as my daughter says, she is celebrating
Single Awareness Day!
LOL! That's OK, she and her other non-dating friends are going to the movies.
Me personally, I celebrating it by eating my Reece's Cup
Easter Egg that one my very best friends bought for me.
 
Well however you are celebrating today,
I hope everyone has a very special day today.
 
For my husband's Valentine's Day card I decided to use this great
new stamp I got from Bugaboo stamps.
I fell in love with her instantly!
 
 
I added some pretty red glittery ribbon, a red rose, and of course some crystals!
I had to have some bling!
Since it was for my husband, and he likes the simple cards,
I kept it simple.
 
I couldn't help myself, on the inside I wrote
"I love you more than cake!"

Flowers for My Sweetheart

Since it's almost Valentine's Day, I wanted to another tag.
I know, everyone is probably tired of them, but I really love the tags.
They can be a work of art on a smaller scale.
And they are just so delicate looking.
 
For this tag I was inspired by the challenge over at
 
http://cupcakeinspirations.blogspot.com/2014/02/challenge-247.html
 
 
 
 
I used a darling Saturated Canary stamp that I hadn't used in a while.
For the bottom of her skirt I added some pretty little white hearts.
Just for Valentine's Day.
 
I used pretty pink and white papers from My Mind's Eye
Lost & Found Blush 6x6 stack.
I added some pretty lace and some white glittery ribbon.
Some pretty pink and white fabric flowers added a nice touch I thought.
And of course glitter.
I added glitter all around the edges of this tag.
I even added a touch of glitter to the center of the pink flowers.
