Thanks a latte!

Boy am I glad its Friday!  I think I need some retail therapy!  If its not one thing its ten others. 

Yesterday I went to Joanns because I need some yellow paper and theirs was on sale.  I not only found my yellow paper but I also got this really cute stamp set by Fiskers called Latte Love.  I had to ink it up right away and this is what I came up with.

I took this weeks OCC Sketch challenge and moved the layers around and left off the ribbon (cause I forgot about it).  I stamped all the images on PTI white cardstock and colored them with my Triart markers. I also added a little Glossy Accents to the coffee in the cups to give it a liquid look. The PP is from the K&Co Faded China Paper Pad by Amy Butler.  I'm also entering it into Penny's Paper-Crafty Challenge as it is a open week.

I hope eveyone has a fab Friday and a beautiful weekend.  I'll see you back here on Monday!

Well I"m back!  My back is feeling much better and I'm hopping to be able to get an appointment for some tests soon.  I need to find out what's trigering the spasms the only downside is that they will be trying to make my muscles spasm and its not very fun.  Thanks to everyone who sent their well wishes!

 I was able to get into the scraproom last night after the girls went to bed.  It did not go well at first.  I ended up stamping and coloring my image five times before I liked how it turned out.  So I got the February issue of the UK magazine Cardmaking and Papercraft as a gift and it came with this almost 6x6 stack of My Mind's Eye Pretty Please paper.  I love love love this paper!  I'm going to have to find more or it.  I will be making all my Easter cards with it.

Okay so on to my card.  The sentiment And image are from the Spring Elves set from Sweet November by Amy Young. I stamped this cutie on PTI cardstock and then colored him with my Triart markers.  All the paper is from the above My Mind's Eye stack.  The bling is from my stash and I used glossy accents on the egg to make it stand out a bit.

I'm also entering this card in the challenge at the OCC Sketch Blog

Thanks for stopping by everyone!  I hope that you Monday is sunny and fabulous!

Birthday card for my Favortie Little Guy!!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY WESTIN!!

My friend's little boy Westin will be two tomorrow!!  This is the card I put together for him.  I love all the bright colors!!  The PP is from a set that I got from Oriental Trading a couple of years ago.  I unearth it last weekend when I was cleaning up my room.  The image mats are from my scrap stash.  I used three different images for this one.  The main image is Bigsby from Karen Doodles.  Isn't he just the cutest thing ever?  The cupcake is a Imaginisce.  The sentiment is another perfectly clear stamp by Stampendous.  I stamped it on three different colors and paper pieced it together.  I thought that it was perfect since he is turning 2.  I printed my image on PTI white cardstock and colored them with my Triart markers.  I think I might actually be getting the hang of them.  A big *muah* to Rachel for helping me get started with them and to my Hubby for indulging me when I wanted to expand my collection!!
