Happy Birthday - FS327

Good Friday Morning!

Happy Long Weekend to those that are able to enjoy it!
Our weather here is going to be crappy :(
Rain which we NEED but that means no real outdoor time.
I shouldn't complain because it COULD be snow, right? ha!

Last Sunday I played along with the Featured Stamper #327 on SCS and cased Silke's card here.
I stamped the background script and flowers in Wisteria Wonder. Wow I can't recall the last time I opened that ink pad. The stems and sentiment were stamped in Lucky Limeade. A little bit of Stickles were added to the poppy for pizzazz ;)
Thanks for stopping by today!

Big Birthday Wishes - DS101

Hello and welcome to another edition of Deconstructed Sketch!
Check out this week :)
I always play way ahead if possible so I created this cute MFT card a couple of weeks ago.
Can't recall the paper but I think it's MME Happy Day.
The sweet PI is from Being Cute Is What I Do and the sentiment comes from an ALM set.
Ready to see what the rest of the DT have created?

Flower Girl - Freshly Made Sketch

Happy Wednesday and half way through the work week!
I'm off on a road trip to Cranbrook today and tomorrow. 
No more little puddle jumpers until fall...yeah!
Love the drive! It's so pretty!

Anyway, I had a lot of time this past weekend to do whatever I wanted and of course I chose stamping :)
This was another card I created using the Freshly Made Sketch from last week.
I tried to mimic the flowers in the designer paper rather than just colouring up the daisy she was holding in her hand.
Stamps are from MFT and paper is Doodlebug.
Thanks for stopping by today!

Happy Birthday

Happy Tuesday!
I think we are finally going to see rain here in Calgary!
It's sooooo exciting! LOL!
We are in desperate need of moisture. My lawn needs to green up!
This card above makes me dream of my gardens growing :)
I combined the Freshly Made Sketch #85 with the Dynamic Duos Anniversary Challenge of choosing an old colour challenge. I chose to DD #18 of Pure Poppy and Lucky Limeade.
Stamps are from Papertrey.

Let's Celebrate You - MFT Sketch #123

Hello :)

Yesterday I did manage to sneak a few quiet hours into my stamp room. It was heavenly!!
I haven't coloured an image up for a bit and when I'm itching to dig out the copics I typically reach for a cute PI image from MFT.
Stamps: PI Birthday Girl, PI Make Mine a DoublePaper: White, Sno Cone, MME Happy Day DPInk: Memento BlackAccessories: copics, MFT flat bottom clouds, MFT Fishtail Banner Dies, Mat Pack and Paper Piercer, Dimensionals
This was their sketch from last week. As you can see I turned it so I could use the sweet flat bottom clouds that I had sitting on my desk from an earlier project.

Thanks for stopping by!

Live Your Life In Color - SSSC184

Hello and Happy Mother's Day!

I haven't stamped in a week! Crazy eh?
I think as a present to myself....I will lock myself in my craft room for a few hours today ;)

It's time for another Sweet Sunday Sketch.

I really wanted to make another card using the Dream In Color by Reverse Confetti.
I just love this set with all the wonderful sayings. They make me happy :)

Ready to see the rest of the Sweet Sunday Sketch Team?

Countdown to Confetti - I Like You Sneak Peeks


We are onto day THREE of sneak peeks!
Are you ready for the release tomorrow?!
Of course you are....lol

Today we are showcasing the last set with this release called I Like You.

I've created a couple of cards to share with you today.
First one I began with stamping i like you & a few different words/sayings.
Funny thing that not everyone knows about me is that I don't really like chocolate! LOL! But it worked for this card :)

Second one I started by scoring little one inch squares and then creating a pattern using three different inks. A little stitching and some scallops finish the card off.

Some details for you....
Be certain you like us on Facebook so you don't miss a beat ;)
Sign up for the newsletter over on the blog.
And lastly....
