Christmas Leslie.

Happy Monday, folks!

I hope you are having a good start of the week so far. I had a weird, but good weekend. Hubby's away on business so I'm a single mom right now :). But life still had to go on with birthday parties and get-togethers. I am, however, now knowledgeable about how to call internationally from my phone! LOL!

Today's card features this cute Karber digi (Christmas Leslie). She'd be perfect for any Holiday card!

Have a fantastic day!

Happy Monday, peeps!

I've got this cutie Leslie Photo stamp from Karber.

I love how she's carrying her camera everywhere, kinda reminds me of myself!

Have a great week! Hope you visit the Karber blog for more DT inspiration!



XOXO,

Queen Leslie.

Hello, hello, hello!

I've got a Karber digi card for ya today!

Isn't Leslie super cute? I've dressed....err, colored her up today for Halloween as the Queen of Hearts aka the Red Queen from Alice in Wonderland. I wanted to do one more Halloween card before the holiday. And I thought she'd be cute as one.

I am quite partial to the Red Queen if you remember :) (refresh your memory with this post).

Enjoy your Monday!!

Karber Hawaii.

Good Monday morning,' folks!

I'm here for my Karber DT post, and this week, I am in a l'il tropical mood! One of my dear friends, M, celebrated her birthday. She just came back from a trip to Hawaii, and she is currently going through paradise withdrawals! LOL!

So I thought the Hawaii Clear Stamp set was perfect! It used to be sold at Sparkle Creations Rubber Stamps but she no longer lists them. If you are interested, I can ask Berenice (owner of Karber) where they are still stocked.

This clear set is really very cute. I love Millie is so cute and pretty, and she comes with two sentiments and four other stamps - the pineapple, butterfly, sun, and flower (the sun and flower are not included here).

My plans changed this weekend, and I wasn't able to take a picture of my card until Sunday night. The sun had gone down so I photographed them two different ways -- one was with flash and one without. They are both included here. (With flash is above).



Have a great week!

Hope You Feel Better Soon!

Hey guys, happy Monday!!

I am off from work and am in a great mood! I got a lot done on my to-do list! :) Hope you had a great weekend too!

For my DT card today, I've got Sick Leslie from Karber. I just love Leslie's big eyes and glasses. She is so adorable..but I do hope she feels better soon! LOL!

Speaking of Karber, they've got a great challenge going on at the blog: Challenge 50 is to use your favorite embellishment and a Karber stamp. The winner will get a $50 gift certificate (U.S. Dollars) to any online crafty store of their choice!!! Some of the digi Karber stamps are as low as $1.20. It is the ONE time I am sad that I'm part of a Design Team. Haha!!

You can buy the digital stamps by clicking here. Or if you would like rubber stamps, you could buy them at Sparkle Creations Rubber Stamps.



Pardon my coloring. Let's just pretend Leslie's room is filled with candlelight so there are lots of shadows. Am trying this new combination for my Copics on faces and I need to blend better or buy more ink! :)

Thanks for visiting,

2 Challenges.

Ugggh...This is really frustrating.
This is actually my second time writing here. I wrote up a post about this pic already, but somehow when I published it, the picture was the only one that showed up. I also linked it up to two challenges so I hope people didn't get too mad when they saw that the post was empty :(.
Made this lovely card for the Deconstructed Sketch 51 and the Sparkle Creations Rubber Stamps Challenge 79 Week 1 (Use flowers).
For the card, I used up lots of Amy Tangerine's first line and Karber- breakfast Leslie for the stamp.
Sorry to be so short. I am actually doing more stuff for work and just happened to see this blank post on my blog. Have a good rest of your weekend!

Sweet Ice Cream.

Good Sunday mornin' to ya, folks!

Today, I've got another card featuring the new Karber - You Are So Sweet acrylic stamp set from Sparkle Creations Rubber Stamps. This time, I made a card outta the two other images from that set -- the ice cream cone and the popsicle. These new stamps are just so adorable!

From the looks of this card, it seems that I am holding on to Summer. That is true, my friends. Although I look forward to the crispness in the air and the upcoming holidays, it'll also mean the ends of:

1) flip-flops on my feet,
2) my stint as a SAHM (maternity leave will soon be over....boo),
3) and warm weather.

This time, my style is back to cutesy with the bright Copic colors and Echo Park papers. I used the Deconstructed Sketch No. 22. Boy, that triangle was tricky...but I just lined up my cone and I think it works!

I added a pearl liner by Viva to their eyes, and used a Martha Stewart punch. The sentiment is hand-written, although now I am liking this less and less. Now, I want to actually stamp with sentiments, LOL!

Sorry to cut this short. It's a big day for our family today. I'll tell you why soon. And of course, I'll be posting some pictures. Thank you sooo much for visiting today and for leaving me some love ;).

XO,

You Are So Sweet!

Hi everybody! Welcome to the You Are So Sweet Karber preview for Sparkle Creations Rubber Stamps.

Although starting with this release, the Karber stamps will be clear acrylic. You Are So Sweet also comes with four stamps and two sentiments! How cool is that?

For this card, I chose the main image, Leslie, and the cupcake. I can't get enough of this paper with the electric mixer from Lily Bee's Designs (Domestic Bliss). And then, I was pleasantly surprised to find this embossed KI Memories paper (Love Elsie)...aren't those cupcakes amazing? I enhanced them with metallic rub-on pigments from Craf-T products. The ribbons are from Crate Paper. Miscellaneous items are the pink ink, corner rounder, Copics, and pearls.



And if you look very closely, you'll see that Leslie's glasses are real!! Teehee! They have that reflective film due to Glossy Accents, a trick that the lovely Arabella has graciously taught me. Thanks chickie! (She designs for Karber digi and has been a wonderful inspiration!). My version wasn't quite as good as you can see: There are tiny air bubbles and I've gone past the lines even!

Thanks so much for visiting!

Joyful!

Hello, everybody!

Just like Karber for SCRS' Rainbow Leslie here, I am:

1. JoyFUL
2. Elated
3. and so, so EXCITED!!

I am now part of the Sparkle Creations Rubber Stamps Design Team!!! WOOT WOOT!!!!



More specifically, I am to design for mostly the Karber rubber stamps! Aren't they so cute?!

I was very honored when Sparkle asked me to be a part of her team. I was also pleasantly shocked! Uh, me?? I thought to myself, "Are you sure?" while jumping up and down!! My hard work has paid off!!

I LOVE it when the 'popular and talented' peeps in the stamping world give newbies like me a chance. Thank you, Sparkle!! (And many thanks also to the other fab designers who have accepted little ole me in their teams in the past and present-- Amy Young & PWCO).

Watch out, here comes a fresh face .... yippeeeee!!!!

I hope you join me back here and the SCRS challenge blog on Tuesdays! And coming soon, there is the reveal of a new Karber stamp -- she is so adorable!

And one more thing.... did I tell you that I am so very excited?!!

Haha, because I am.

No, really... if you couldn't tell from above, I truly am!!

EXCITED!

And ELATED!

LOL!

Ok, because I'm bordering on being annoying as well and would probably soon lose my audience, I also made this card for the Deconstructed Sketch # 20.

Supplies:
CS- Neenah Solar White. Bazzill.
PP- Bella Blvd.
Stickers- American Crafts.
Scissors- Martha Stewart.

Thanks so much for visiting! :)
