Happy Birthday to Deb!

My dear friend Deb had a birthday yesterday and I couldn't post this until I gave it to her.
I love this funky cake from Taylored Expressions! So fun to color with my Copics!
The paper is It's Your Day from Fancy Pants Designs. Great colors!
The frosted pearl on top of the cake is from Pizzazz Aplenty.
That little chipboard banner is Jenni Bowlin.
So Happy Birthday my friend Deb V!
Thanks for stopping by!!!

Halloween Mini - Brayden!

Halloween 2010!

This album was soooooo much fun to do! Maybe it's because it's my daughter and my grandson Brayden ;)
I picked up this Little Yellow Bicycle House album a while back. I'm sure my friends thought it would sit (like all of the other ones I've picked up), but I was determined this time!
I received my kit from The Girl's Loft with all of the yummy papers and embellishments and I knew I would use it on this album. Most of it is from The Girls' Paperie. Gorgeous! Everything I used on this album, except for the black ric rac and a button was from this kit. Perfect! And I have a ton left!
Excited to get to Robinette's and get a pumpkin!
Silly
Kiss for Mom
Beautiful! Who could not love this? My favorite page, my favorite picture! The chimney is covered with the black lace from the kit that I pleated. And that charm at the top is awesome!!!
He had two bags of goodies from his Aunt Cathy!
Suckers!

Excited to get going!
Time to go!

Thanks for looking! I appreciate the visits, and the comments ;)
Have a phenominal day!

Suzi Blu Poem

I have been wanting this Suzi Blu stamp since I first saw it. I love it! I was so excited to ink it up!
The picture above shows some of the supplies I used. See those yummy Copic colors? I shaded the little diamonds on the floor she's standing on. And of course there are buttons!
A lot of paper piecing went into this! I used Sassafras Indie Girl paper. I just bought it when I bought the stamp. They go so well together. The little pearl is from Pizzazz Aplenty. I used a white pen on a lot of the image, including little highlights on her eyes.
Thank you for stopping by! Have a great day!

Hip Hop Sketch 29

Using October Afternoon Seaside again! I love this paper, but it makes me want summer back.
I used the Unity Hip Hop Sketch Challenge #29. I added the banner for a little texture. I punched circles, folded them in half, laid down some adhesive, put them on a piece of crochet thread, and we're good to go!
A fun cheery little card! I think this is going to Operation Write Home!
Thanks for stopping by! I hope you have an extraordinary day!

A Couple of Hot Air Balloons

I have two very different hot air balloons. Both of them are awesome in their own way.
This one is paper pieced using Seaside from October Afternoon. First time opening that pack. Love it! Paper piecing is so time consuming, but I love the look!
I made clouds using White Craft Ink by SU. I punched out two circles, held them in different areas of the cardstock and sponged around them.
This card has a totally different feel to it.
The map paper is from Seaside by October Afternoon too. The grid and polka dots are from SU. I sponged around the edge of the map paper and the tag with Tim Holtz Black Soot Distress Ink.
Thank you for stopping by! Hope you have an awesome day!





Christmas Ribbon Tree

Another Christmas card today! Not sure why, but I keep reaching for the Christmas paper and stamps. This is for the Unity WCMD Ribbon Challenge. Getting in under the wire ;)
The ornaments on the tree are Webster's Pages Sparklers. So sparkly in person! The presents are Grungeboard pieces that I sprayed with Peppermint Stick Glimmer Mist. I tied some red & white baker's twine on for ribbon. The ribbon is Wild Wasabi from SU. Love that color! The Merry & Bright is Unity from the Merry & Bright Winter Wishes set.
The paper is Imaginesce from last Christmas season. I loved it and bought a bunch. You'll be seeing more of it!
Thank you for stopping in! Love visitors!
Have a terrific day!!!



Merry & Bright Snow

Here's a fake shaker. I used clear packaging that some embellishments came in. It was a small little bag. I cut it down shorter than it was, put my acetate (which was a piece that some stamps came on) inside with the snowflake embossed on it, and filled the bottom of the package with white flock, SU Dazzling Diamonds Glitter, and SU Clear Microbeads. I taped it closed, and taped that to the card, mounted the card front on top of that with red line tape to keep it attached.
The stamps I used are from Unity's Merry & Bright Winter Wishes. Loving this set!
I glued some new light blue flatback pearls from Pizzazz Aplenty. I have to tell you about this! I ordered a bunch of flatback pearls at VERY reasonable prices. Judy sent them to me very quickly! She's communicates and has some great products! I will be buying from her again!
I finished off with some ribbon and a tag cut from my Papertrey Ink Label Die. I tied that to the ribbon with baker's twine. I attached the tag with a SU Dimensional to keep it in place.
Thank you for stopping by today! I am so happy you did!
