The Fresh Batch Sketch #30

I'm a pink freak...I admit it! I love the combination of pink and brown! I used the "You Warm My Heart" set from Stamps and Smiles. My paper is kraft paper from Hobby Lobby with Chocolate Chip and Pretty in Pink (both Stampin Up). I added Stickles in cinnamon to the cupcake top for some sparkle. I stamped the cupcake, chocolate chips and background texture in Adirondack, Espresso. I sponged the kraft paper in the same. Be sure to check out the other contributions to this sketch at The Fresh Batch! You don't want to miss out~have a great day!

Halloween Tilda

This little card was selected in this week's Gallery top 5 at SNR Card Universe! If you have an account (they're free) here's the link. Thanks for the honor Cheryl!

Oh yes another fun halloween card! I love making them hehe. This one was particularly fun. I used a stitching template by Bazzill Basics, two actually. The thread is Krelink black thread...not easy to use lemme tell ya! I decorated around the stitching holes with chalks before I stitched. The witch Tilda is a Magnolia. Here's the link where I buy mine. The witches brew and little spider friend are from I Brake For Stamps, here's a link to that sheet. The base paper is Natural Confetti, Stampin Up. I painted the entire sheet (after I applied the chalks) with Luminarte's Shimmering Mist in Iridescent Gold. I wanted to have some sparkle and set the chalk. To get the cool burn around the brew recipe I used a candle and nearly drove my family out of the room from the smell hehe. I'm using this card in the Creative Inspiration Challenge this week. Hope you enjoy my little witch!

Project Tuesday-Treat Box

This cute little box is my take on this week's project at Project Tuesday. Here's a link to a complete tutorial. I changed mine just a little...I made my designer paper the same size as my front window and the window is also covered on the inside by clear plastic. I know...there's no stamping at all, but the little pieces I had matched my paper soooooo well I just had to use them! I filled my box will Jelly Bellies! Cute fun project! Be sure to stop by the blog to see everyone else's creations this week!

MoJo in Michelle's Honor

Michelle Hale WWW.RandomCrafting.Blogspot.Com

I'm sad to share that a stamping friend of mine, Michele Hale was struck and killed as she was jogging today. I am so sad for her family and will miss her wonderful creative work and words of encouragement.
This MoJo Monday Sketch card is in her honor. I am sending it to her family. The flower is inspired by Michelle Zindorf's tutorial here.
Please keep her family and friends in your prayers.

Copic Marker Book

I made this little book to use when I needed to compare colors easily! I put all the files to share on Splitcoast. Here's a link. Maybe it'll be handy for you too!

Woooo Nellie!

This little lady is a Sugar Nellie stamp. I have no affiliation with them at all, but sure think they're cute! This one is my entry for the Our Creative Corner Challenge this week. This challenge is cool...they have NO TIME LIMIT! Gotta like that! We needed to use some of the new In Color Stampin Up Colors....like that's hard hehe. I love love LOVE the new pretty Soft Suede! I don't think I'll ever get tired of it! I made this little sketch up all on my own (shock I know lol). The precious teal buttons are Doodlebug...found them in the bargain bin at Archivers :) Hope you like her!

What a hoot!

What a fun card! I love this image from Whimsy! The little owl's expression is adorable. Here's a link for you. They have the cutest stamps! This card is for the Whimsy Challenge this week to use ribbons. The orange ribbon is easy to see, the dark brown ribbons are the border on the left and right of the designer paper strip. The little sentiment cut out is a Sizzix. Boy are those tricky to work with! Hope you give a hoot for my card hehe.

My Desk Partner

Just had to share this with you all. This is Tiffers (Aka Tiffany). This is her bed on my left desk drawer that is pulled out. She sits here with me as I work on things. She is a pretty good desk partner, though she does whine on occasion for help down or "snacks". Her bucket of "snacks" is on my desk hehe.

Lighthouse by Night

Oh is this image gorgeous! I love the sketchy look of it and enjoyed using it for this card so much! I think it looks like a painting! It's from KLM Designs and you can see it and all of her wonderful images here. I printed it out twice and used one as a mask so I could sponge the background. I wanted to do a night scene with it and thought the dark blue sky with the lighthouse light would be cool. I'd never done a night scene so I was completely winging it hehe. I colored the house and trees with dark colors then went over all of it with a gray. I am really pleased with how it turned out. I'm also using this card for this week's Midnight Madness challenge and Digital Tuesday Challenge. Hope you like it too~
