MFTeaser: Tea with Flopsey

This card was made with MFT's new March Flopsey (to be released Wednesday!). I also used the flowers from the new Hooga Booga set - did I mention that I love that one?! I'll show a card with that set tomorrow.

Anywho, I used the BG Urban Prairie PP and the cutie MSL bird punch. Ribbon is from PTI, and I colored the image with Copics. Here's a close-up of the birdie...

The sentiment says "A cup of tea, a shady tree. Wish you could keep me company." Cute, huh?!
Well, that's about it! Till tomorrow!

MFTeaser: Monsters Ink

This is a Teaser that I created with the new MFT Monsters Ink (get it?! :)) set and SC215 on SCS. In case you didn't see it, Roxi used my card for the sketch, so I HAD to play along with the challenge! I made this card a while ago, but could only post it today. I hope you like it! I had SO much fun stamping my little "scene"! I'm in LOVE with these monsters!

The flowers, hearts and clouds are part of another new MFT set, Hooga Booga (I LOVE this one, too!). I'll show you that card on Wednesday, I think. ;) The grass was made with two different colors of green Flower Soft. I really like playing with that stuff - I just usually forget that I have it! LOL The purse and bow tie are elevated and adorned with Twinkle Stickers. The image was colored with Copics.

These sets will be released on Wednesday. Here's the deets...
My Favorite Things (www.mftstamps.com) is having a New Release Cocktail Party on Wednesday, March 4th from 9-10 PM EASTERN. This month there are 5 new sets being released including a Who's that Girl who is hanging with her peeps!
Head over to the MFT forum on www.splitcoaststampers.com to find out all the details and to find out how YOU can be the next MFT Guest Designer. We hope to see you there on Wednesday night.

Saturday Sketch Time!

This is my card for this week's SSC! I decided to treat myself for all of my recent hardwork and get a couple of PTI sets, and I thought that there was no time like the present to use them! You can find Lauren's sketch on her blog, here.

I used the new Background Basics: Retro, newer Forest Friends, and not-so-new Polka Dot Basics. The color combo is Summer Sunrise, Pure Poppy, Black, and New Leaf. The punches are Marvy, and the scallop punch is Fiscars. Ribbon is Creative Imaginations.

Now I'm off to try and get some more fun stuff done before Naptime is over! Check out the rest of the sketch team at the following links...

Getting There is Half the Fun!

This is another card that I made while playing around with my Things that Go stamp set, from Lizzie Anne. I used some older Scenic Route paper, and my new Kiwi Kiss CS! Yes, I am only just now using last year's SU! In Colors! LOL

I also used some SU! ribbon, a MM clip, and a MSL punch. The bus was colored with Copics, of course!

I'm going to cut this post short, 'cause I'm just starting an episode of CSI with my hubby! Have a good night! :)

Zooming Along as Fast as I Can...

This card was given to a super special little girl, for her third birthday, this weekend. It was made with LAD stamps, In the Background and Things that Go. I doodled the pink car with olive flowers and Cuttlebugged the background.

Quick post for today, as I'm off for work, but have a good one, and I'll TTYL! :)

Next Time, You're the Pool Boy, and...

I must say that this is one of my favorite cards that I made in the past couple of days. I used MFT's Maid for You and PTI's Grid Lines. I LOVE the color combo, and the fact that "she" is the only part of the image that's in color. The rest is "black and white".

Here's the deets... I used PTI's ribbon and paper (except SU!'s Basic Black - still have a ton of that). I also used Nesties, Copics, a Twinkle Sticker, and a bridal flower from Michaels that I colored black.

The inside of the card reads "and I'm the wealthy divorcee. Wink, Wink" I love that. I showed it to my hubby - 'cause I always show him all of my cards and can't wait to "surprise" him with one. Then I was bad, and said "now, I just have to figure out who to send it to..." (evil grin here) Well, oddly enough, he didn't like that. I laughed, and he poked me. I think I'm funny - you know, it's all good...

Well, that night he had a dream that I had cheated on him and he was irrationally angry with me! He blamed it on the card. Silly Hubster. ;) He's over it now, but we (really "I") got a nice laugh out of it. Dang, I love that man!

Well, have a good Monday, and I'll be back soon with some more LAD!

Till later...

Saturday Sketch Time, Baby!

Good Morning! I was finally able to get some stamping done yesterday, and I must say that it felt good! :) This is one of four cards that I got done. AND...I actually got some quilting done, as well! LOL I was having a little craft-fest!!

I wanted to say a big THANK YOU to everyone who emailed and left comments regarding my last post! We're doing good. It's depressing, but I know that things will turn around eventually. I also know that many of you are in the same boat. My prayers are with you as well. We're not starving, and we're lucky that I have a job that's so flexible. I was even able to sign a bonus contract for "Season". It's just an adjustment, and I hate not knowing what's next, as far as Dave and the possibility of relocation goes. But I firmly believe that whatever will happen is meant to happen. Sigh...I guess it's a lesson in patience. :)

Anywho, this card is for Lauren's SSC24 that was posted last week. This week is a pick-your-favorite week, so you can choose any of her past sketches to play along. Since I've been out of the game for pretty much the last month and a half, I have several to pick from that I haven't even done yet. I hope to catch up soon.

I used LAD's Things That Go for this (and two others) card. I popped up the plane and used white gel pen for the windows. There's also clear Spica on the cloud and sun. The sentiment is from LAD's High Hellos - one of my fave LAD sets!

So, that's it! For more sketchy inspiration, click through these links...

In Case You've Been Wondering...

I've gotten several emails from my "cyber friends", asking if there's anything wrong and letting me know that I'm missed, and I've got to tell you that I'm quite grateful for those emails and comments. Thank you so much for your sweet words!

The deal is that Dave has, in effect, lost his job...again. Well, it's not so much as lost as, on a hold. You may know that my husband is in construction, and the job that he's had for the past year and change has stalled. With no one spending any money on building houses, or anything else, he hasn't been paid since mid-December. He's been looking for other opportunities, but in his field, and especially in Florida, it's hard to stay positive in this economy.

Therefore, I've been working a lot more and spending my limited free time with my little guy, Wyatt. It's been hard to focus on anything else. Due to that, I asked my MFT boss-lady, Kim, if I could take a few weeks off, which is why you haven't seen me in the Hops or posting samples with the cool new releases lately.

That being said, I'm REALLY hoping to get my mojo up and flowing very soon. First step is to clean up my craft studio, so that I can be creative in there. Heaven knows that I've got oodles of fun stamps to play with. But I know that if I go in there, I might not come back out! Which then would turn up the guilt factor of not spending that time with my son... Alas, it's a vicious cycle! LOL

However, I will get it worked out. My goal is to get some stuff done this weekend, but I'm not going to promise, because for SURE it won't happen then! LOL I hope you understand.

Till later...

Saturday Sketch and a Tattoo!

For some reason, I struggled a bit with this sketch of Lauren's, but overall, I'm happy with the card. I used Lizzie Anne's Love Tattoo for the main image, and I've got to say that I'm loving it even more, now that I'm seeing it in COLOR! I think it's uber cool looking - what do you think?

I used BG's Ambrosia PP again - can you tell it's one of my new faves?! I love the cool colors in it. I can always tell how much I love a PP line when I don't want to put away the matching Copics! LOL (Same is true with Urban Prairie :)). Buttons are BG, too.

Ribbon is SU! and Marvy punches were used for the circles. I used my Scor-Pal for the score lines - in lieu of another piece of CS. I just couldn't get that to work, and I think this image works better with more white space.

So, I guess that's about it! Give some love to the other sketch girls at these links...

Saturday Sketch and New LAD!

I must say that I'm really happy with how this card turned out. I used Lauren's sketch (found here) and combined Lizzie Anne's So Much Love with this Basic Grey (Urban Prairie) PP. I think this might be Dave's Valentine's Day card - we'll have to see...

I colored the birdies with Copics and punched the hearts with my Marvy Mega punch. The main image heart is that linen vellum that PTI carries, so it's a little transparent.

I hope that you like it! Make sure that you check out the other girls at these links...

One Too Many Teacups!

I had to giggle after I uploaded this when I noticed that that the sentiment says "two teacups", and I stamped this stack of three - oh well! LOL I still like the card! :)

This is another card that I made with the new LAD set that is BEING RELEASED TODAY, Tea Time. I just masked the cutie little cups and colored them with my Copics.

All paper is from PTI, and the flower is from CTMH. The button is from Basic Grey and the scallop circle was made with the Marvy Giga punch.

Now, make sure that you run on over to the Lizzie Anne website to check out all of the new sets! I think that I have almost all of them, and I know you'll NEED them too! ;)

TTYL!

Lizzie Anne Sneak Peek: So Much Love

This is a little set that I had fun making the other day, using the FS challenge for this week (JulieHRR) for the card, and altering this little playing card set. The new LAD set (to be released this Friday) is called So Much Love, and it's now one of my favorite V-Day sets - it's SO cute!

I was going to add something else to this card, but everything I tried took away from the clean-ness of it, so I left it alone. It's nice to do a CAS (clean and simple) card once in a while! Here's Julie's card that I CASEd.

I took these pix at night, and even though I have a light box, I still really need the natural light to get really nice pictures. Oh well...
Here's the playing card box. I covered it in some Bazzill paper and black velvet ribbon, and froo-frooed up the top. The flower punch is from EK, and the Dots are from Stamping Bella.

And here's the open box. Hope you likey! Tomorrow, I have another Tea Time card. It will also be release day, so don't forget to check out all of the cutie new sets!
Till then...

MFTeaser: Owl for All Seasons

Tonight is release night! Wohoo! :) I'm sure if you're "hopping", you're catching the excitement for the four new sets! They're all awesome!!! Which one is your favorite???

I'm in love with this set! It's called Owl for All Seasons, and with all of the cutie combinations of images and sentiments, I know that you'll love it too! :)

I used SCS SC208 for this layout. The PP is from Basic Grey's Urban Prairie, as are the buttons. Ribbon is PTI, and punches are SU!. The tiny flower is from a MSL punch, and the rhinestone is a Twinkle Sticker.

Here's the deets for what's on tap tonight. I just copy/pasted...

My Favorite Things (www.mftstamps.com) is having a New Release Cocktail Party on Wednesday, January 7th from 9-10 p.m. Eastern time. This month there are FOUR new sets being released including a Who's that Girl set that is Maid for You!

Lizzie Anne Sneak Peeks: Knight and Super Girl

Only TWO more days till the LAD release on Friday! Here's a couple more peeks for you...Isn't this little Knight adorable? He works perfect with Once Upon a Time, too! I used my Copics and some Basic Grey PP and buttons, as well as the Nestie Label 1 die for this. Ribbon is from SU!. This layout is one of LAD's more recent layout challenges. This is Super Girl. I've paired her with Out of this World and some Disney PP. The star is from Heidi Swapp, and ribbon is from May Arts.

Hope you like the new "little people"! I believe I have all but one of them that Meridith has created, and I love them! They're just so cute!

Make sure that you stay tuned, because I have more peeks coming up tomorrow! ;)

MFTeaser: Good Knight

Make sure that you keep on scrolling, because I have another peek today for you to check out! :) This cutie new set is an up and coming one from MFT, called Good Knight. It will be released tomorrow evening, along with three other must-have sets. Oh, and in case you're new to the MFT release schedule, tomorrow is also the MFTeaser Blog Hop, so you won't want to miss that, either.

Okay, so back to the card! LOL I used the SCS SC209 for the layout, but made a few changes to it. The images are colored with Copics and certain areas are also colored with Shimmerz, like the shield and the dragon's fire, to give some sparkle.

I masked the dragon before stamping the castle, mostly to save room! LOL The sentiment is one of many in the set - and as usual, they're all cute! PP is from BG and ribbon is from PTI.

That's about it with this one for today. Tomorrow, I'll have a card using the new Stephani Fizer set for the Hop. See you then!

xox,

Lizzie Anne Sneak Peek: Tea Time

This is the first of three days of LAD sneak peeks, all culminating to the release on Friday the 9th! This cutie set is called Tea Time. It is a buildable set for tea lovers, and probably coffee lovers alike! I love the images, but the sentiments are too cute, too! I've used two of them for this set.

I couldn't resist creating a little box full of Celestial Seasonings (or is it Seasons? I can't remember! LOL) chamomile tea bags. The box ended up being 3x3x4, and it fits the bags perfectly! It opens at the top.
I used PTI paper and some May Arts ribbon. The background stamp is from LAD's In the Background, and I stamped it in white Craft ink. For the circles, I used my Marvy punches, and used a Cuttlebug tag die for the sentiment.

Below is the matching card. It is a 3x3, and can you believe that that is the first time I've ever made one that size! LOL I used that In the Background stamp again, and I'm so going to use it again soon - I love those overlapping circles!
I used some PTI ribbon and a scallop rectangle Nestie die. The images were colored with Watercolor Crayons...HA! Just KIDDING - I used my Copics, as usual. Did I get cha?!? Huh? Huh? ;)

Well, that's about it! Tomorrow, I'll have another cutie peek for you, so come back soon, ya hear?! :)

Christmas Baskets

I made four of these baskets this year. One for each set of Wyatt's grandparents and one for my dear friend, Mimi (although hers was a slightly different). I'm really happy with how they turned out, and I hope that the recipients were as happy with them.

I picked up these baskets at Michaels, and filled them with my homemade canned applesauce and apple butter, Spice Cake mix, and a plate that was painted by Wyatt and myself. Then I froo-frooed it up with some pretty filler and some organic pine cones and things.I have had this red ribbon for a while and just rediscovered it when I was looking for something festive for these jars. I tied on one of PTI's recipe cards that I gussied up with the Recipe Box stamp set.The plate painting part was an especially fun thing to do with Wyatt. We went to a local place, called Bisque It and painted three of them.

For the labels, I used a MSL apple bunch, PTI's Simple Alphabet and Borders and Corners Circles, and the JustRite Stampers Baking Ensemble. The apple is dimensional.
And one last pic of the goods.
Well, that's about it for now! Have a wonderful weekend! I'll be back tomorrow with a SSC card!

From the Heart Card Set

This is a card set that I made for someone special, using Lauren Meader's All Boxed Up template and one-sheet-wonder template. I needed something that I do without reinventing the wheel, and this idea was perfect!

I used Lizzie Anne's Dreaming of Dots and Circle Sentiments for the whole set. For the front, I also used Basic Grey's buttons and the flower Cuttlebug dies. Ribbon and paper is from PTI.

The inside...

This is the first card, and like Lauren's there is two of each card in the set.

This is the second card. I love that the "happy birthday" sentiment fits perfectly around the scallop punch.
Didn't change much for the third card. Can you see the matching envies?

I changed the fourth one up just a bit.
Well, that's about it! I hope that everyone had a wonderful and safe New Year's Eve! We had a quiet night playing Apples to Apples with good friends.
Till later...

My New Little Piece of Heaven

Welcome to my little corner of the Earth! This (<-- Click link) is what my stamp room looked like before last week. Some improvement, huh!?

The new island is my Christmas gift from my Hubby, and I'm in LOVE with it! We got the over sized butcher block, so that I can sit at it, and I love all of the work space! And the drawers! A stamper's heaven, I tell ya! :)

This is an existing bookcase that holds mostly SU stamps, plus stamps in CD cases, 8x8 and 6x6 PP packs, scrapbooks, and some odds and ends. The white boxes are ones that I painted from Michaels. They fit the CDs perfectly! I got that idea from my friend, Mimi.

This is a shot of the counter top behind my island. The candy jars are full of ribbon and Primas. And my dad asked me what in the world I was going to do with all of that ribbon! Ha! I scoff! Silly man.
Ah, I LOVE these bars from Ikea. No it's not a novel idea, but the drawer that these puppies were previously stored in was BEGGING us to put these up on the wall! LOL It was SO broke and U-shaped that it was pitiful.

Now, this little beauty is something that my Hubster built for me and my grown-up candy. I love it, and it holds so much ribbon - and there's even room for MORE! LOL

Now, this pic is not to show off the beauty of this set-up, but to show how I've got my paper/PP stored. It's purely functional, but it does a nice job. That box on the top is my other Christmas gift. It's a kareoke machine that's also a iPod charger, docking station, player, CD player, and radio. Love it too! :)

And finally, here's my throne. These 24in. chairs were also from Ikea. This is what this space pretty much always looks like - my iPod within easy reach, along with my Copics, acrylic blocks, sketch book, water, and tool caddy - or as I call them, my Necessaries. :) The quilt on the wall is a fish quilt that I made for Dave. I'll replace it with the one that I'm making now, when it's finished.
Well, that's about it. Hopefully you enjoyed the tour. Tonight I had Mimi over, and actually made a card! That is a big deal, if you knew of the day that I had...
Here's the gist - I bit the bullet and went to the Dr and had an x-ray on my toe. Good thing, too, cause it was far too injured to have healed with just taping it to the other toes! I have a spiral oblique break that was twisted and was nowhere near in correct alignment. It had to be set - which was an experience that I don't want to repeat anytime soon, and now I have to wear a gigantic knee-length boot for the next four weeks so that I can avoid having surgery on the stupid toe!!! And I won't even mention the bill... All for kicking a wall! Good grief, Charlie Brown!
So, anyways, I hope that your day was better than mine. Now I'm off to snuggle my Christmas Elf. Nighty night!

I KNEW That Cleaning Was Hazardous to My Health!

Wow, I can't believe that it's been like a million years since my last post! Well, probably more like 2 weeks, but STILL! It's just one of those times of the year when it's all that I can do to get all of my Christmas stamping, baking, wrapping, and buying done in time for all of the festivities. Then comes the Christmas "hangover"! We STILL have toys all over the house and cookies all over the kitchen, how about you?

In addition to all of that, my wonderful husband remodeled my stamp room, and reorganized all of my stuff. So, I'm sure that you can imagine that it then required a lot of REreorganization from me, but I was happy to do it, because it was a much needed chore. Now, I have an uber cool room that I will share pix of later. I really love stamping in it, HOWEVER...

On Sunday evening, I thought it would be a good idea to clean up the master bathroom while Wyatt was in the tub. Well, I was trying to hurry and talk to him at the same time, and saw something on the floor that needed picking up. I ended up kicking the corner of the wall (obviously really hard) and broke my toe. I won't describe it to you, because it's pretty gross, but suffice it to say that it was VERY clear to us that it was broken.

Now, I'm utterly BORED because I have to sit or lie down with my foot up all day, and CAN'T PLAY IN MY NEW ROOM! GRRR! Thank goodness that Dave is off this week, because he's a huge help. You know, it's a little difficult to move my computer from place to place while hopping around on crutches and a surgical shoe. LOL

Anyways, I have some things to share, and I will soon, but I wanted to drop in first and tell you what's going on! Our Christmas was wonderful - Wyatt was thrilled, and everything was perfect. How about you all? I hope that it was magical for everyone!

New BCDzyns: Daydreamer

Okay, so Sunday turned into Wednesday! It's such a busy time of year, and my to-do list is long. I'm sure I'm not alone in that!

This new set is Daydreamer, and it is new from BCDzyns (available from MFT). She comes with loads of sentiments, and even a thought bubble, too! You can grab her up at the above link.

I've colored her with Copics and paper pieced her shirt. The PP is from Basic Grey's Eva, as is the buttons. The ribbon is from PTI.

A close up...And I'm leaving you with that! I hope that you love her! Till later when I have time to edit a bunch of pix, so that I can post them... :)

Saturday Sketch To Be Delayed :(

I can't tell you how crazed I've been this week gearing up for my party tomorrow night. So, because of that, I haven't had time to stamp anything that wasn't party related. I have some pix that I will share very soon, but my sketch sample will have to be made and posted after this weekend. It's just that time of year, kwim!?

So, have a great weekend, and hopefully I'll have some fun stuff to show you on Sunday!

"...I've got to go home - Oh, baby, you'll freeze out there..."

This is my card for last weeks MFTSC. I used one of my favorite oldies but goodies from MFT, Baby It's Cold Outside. I used some PP from Scenic Route, Copics, Twinkle Stickers, Scallop Scissors, chunky snow, and MSL ribbon. Detail pic...

So I just "elfed myself", and I'm LOL-ing at the three of us in our little disco video! Too funny. I've gotten several of these in the past couple of years, but I've not seen the disco version. Cute! I tried to post it here, but the video didn't work after I changed the title of the post. Goes to show me not to mess with a good thing! LOL

ETA: Try this link to see our video.

And now I'm off to get things done. Have a good one!

Make a Wish!

This is my SSC make-up card from a couple of weeks ago! LOL I wanted to play with one of my newer sets of AAS, and I thought that it would perfect with this sketch. To see Lauren's post, click here.

I used some Eva paper from BG, rub-ons and brads from SU!, Copics, and ribbon from PTI.

I'm going to keep this post short, but stop by tomorrow, and I'll have an MFT card for you! Till later!

Sketch Challenge Cards

These are both cards that I made last week, for the SC on SCC. The first one uses the LAD set, Ooo La La and LAD's new PP. I colored the image with Copics and used SU!'s ribbon. Buttons are from Basic Grey and Moxie. This one was made with a cutie TCP image that I had fun gussying up! I used a tiny pom-pom on his had, Stickles on the fire, and chunky snow on the ground.
For the marshmallow, I used Liquid Applique, heat set, and then dabbed it with some shimmery brown chalk so it looks toasted. That's my favorite part! :)

So, I went to the cookie party that I mentioned yesterday, walked in the door, and someone yells "she looks just like her picture!"! I was like "huh?". And then I realized that I was meeting a stamper! A sweet lady, named Angela, who reads my blog! HI ANGELA! :) How fun! I love meeting "online people" IRL! LOL

We had a great time eating too many cookies, making ornaments with glitter and glue, and decorating our cook books. Oh, and I won like three prizes! Love when THAT happens, too! LOL Thanks Sherree! Had a great time! :)

Well, that's about it for today. Hope you all have a wonderful week!
