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!

This is an Emerson Quillin image from American Art Stamp. Isn't she fun!? I used a bit more of my MME Just Dreamy paper for this. After that, all I added was some SU! ribbon and some bridal flowers that I colored with Copics and finished off with Dew Drops.
Recognize this sketch? I also used it for my Call Me card I did on Monday! Very easy to work with, but the angled line in the bkgd adds so much interest! It's also a fun sketch for PP, and you all KNOW how much I love THAT! :)
Tomorrow I'll show you what I did with the cover of my sketchbook. I finally altered it! Till then...

This is another card featuring some AAS images, Kim Bowles' Girl Talk and Kathleene Callei's sentiment. I've colored the image with Copics, also adding silver Stardust pen to the chairs and table. The PP is Just Dreamy, by MME, and I used PTI cardstock. I also used a Prima flower, SU! rhinestone, and PTI ribbon.
So, I've been working on some DT stuff, trying to get ahead of the game before my crazy month of July starts. I've already got three MFTeasers done with some GREAT new sets that you're going to love! Wohoo! :) Now, I'm just waiting for my happy mail to get here, so that I can get started on that stuff, too!
LAD has some AWESOME sets coming out, as well, in their summer release, slated for July 16th. I have about ALL of the new stuff coming to me, so you'll be seeing some of that soon, too! They've also got some big surprises for you, including contests, a release party, and blog "strolls"! You're not going to want to miss it!
In addition to THAT, I've got a fun announcement for next week! :)
So, I'd better get running! Got to take some pix before I get ready for work! Till later...

Happy Friday! This is a Karen Stolper image from American Art Stamp. I love all of her images! They're so whimsical an fun! This one makes a perfect Father's Day card!
I used some Wild Asparagus PP and an A Muse sentiment to make this. The image was colored with Copics (from now on, I'll try to only tell you when something ISN'T colored with Copics!). The ribbon is SU! and the button is from Creative Cafe.
Well, folks, that's about it for now! I've been stamping my fingers to the bone, so you have lots to check out over the next few days! See you then!

This is a journal from Michael's that I altered with some American Art Stamp stamps. Both of these are from Marsha McCarthy. I stamped the sentiment that is part of the image on the inside. The sentiment that you see here is a separate stamp.
This image is a lot of fun to color. When I first stamped it, it didn't look like much to me, but after adding color to it (with my Copics), it seemed to come alive. It's also VERY sparkly! I had a LOT of fun with my Stickles on this! 
The sentiment is one stamp that I cut into three separate layers. The first layer is black, the second is Pink Passion, and the third is Brilliance Pearlescent Lime - so it shimmers, too! The ribbon is all from May Arts.
Well, thanks for stopping by! Tomorrow should bring a PTI card. See you then...

This card uses another AAS Marsha McCarthy image, Lotus. I embossed it with white EP, and sponged on color, then wiped off the extra on the embossing with a paper towel. This is a 4 1/4 square card.
Can you see my new toy??? I got my Fiscars Threading Water punch about a week and a half ago, and I'm just now getting around to using it! I love it! It makes the prettiest little scallops!
Also found on this card is some May Arts ribbon, SU! buttons, K&Company PP, and a PTI sentiment (from Mixed Messages). The butterfly was punched with a MSL punch from the back side of the main PP. It ensures coordination! :)
Tomorrow, I've got my first June MFTeaser, and these sets ROCK, so don't miss it! I think the consensus with all of the DT girls is that this is the best release yet, so make sure you check out everyone's blog, starting tomorrow! All of the girls' links are on my sidebar. The big release is this Wednesday!
Till then...

Good morning, Sunshines! :) I'm feeling accomplished by my day of slaving away yesterday, and thought that I'd take a minute to post a card for you! This is a 4 1/4 square card that I did for my AAS DT. I really like the simplicity of this card. I also really like this Lillies (Marsha McCarthy) image stamped in the white chalk ink on the craft!
All paper and ribbon is PTI and the button is SU!. I'm really loving the PTI Craft! It's got such a nice weight and smoothness to it! The sentiment is also from PTI's Garden of Life set.
Still having computer issues. The problem is this - we don't know what the problem is! Dave thinks it COULD be fixed if we buy some $150 part, but maybe not. If that's not it, then the issue is with the motherboard, and then all of our info stored on the computer (no, I didn't back much up) is lost! Big nightmare.
And now I'm off to feed the child! Have a wonderful weekend, and I'll catch ya later! :)

This is another image from American Art Stamp (AAS), specifically an image from Adriana Cirstea - Angel with Child. Can you see the sparkle in their wings? They're covered with MSL silver glitter, hence the post's title. :)
From now on, just assume that if it's a colored image, that I used Copic Markers. I'll let you know if I used something different! LOL
OMGoodness, I just got my extra Sketches in and filled out my blank Copic Color Chart that I found on Sharon Harnist's blog, and let me tell you that that has made coloring so much more enjoyable!!! No more scribbling colors onto scrap pieces of paper to see if they match! It also makes finding the right blending colors SO much easier. I also can't believe that I didn't have my markers in numerical order for so long! Now I feel so much more organized with them. If you use Copics, I seriously suggest you print out the chart!
Anywho, back to the card. My color combo came from a page in my latest Pottery Barn magazine. The flower is one of those bridal flowers from Michaels'. I colored that with Copics, too. Ribbon is from AC, and the sentiment is from PTI's Little Lady.
Welp, dinner's almost ready, so I'll have to catch up more with you later!

This is my first American Art Stamp card. It features Adriana Cirstea's Angel with Flowers. Isn't she (this stamp, not my coloring) just beautiful?!?
I couldn't decide on a pic, because the one above has more accurate colors, but in the one below you can see all of the shimmer, SO I just posted both! :)
You can find more out about this card on the AAS blog HERE.
Also, don't forget that the new MFT stamps are now available on the website, so click on over there to check them out!
Till later...
xox, Kirsten
