Time for Cake!

Sorry this post is so late, peeps! I've had a busy morning (errands, appointments, mama duties...). And now, I've got five minutes to blog as today is my Mother-in-law's birthday celebration.

Used Taylored Expressions Sketch Challenge # 19. Starring Kraftin' Kimmie's Francesca. Luv her hat and cupcakes!

I also found some metallic rub-ons from Craft-T Products in my closet. See them on the cupcakes? Sorry for the blurry pic but you get the idea...



Used some PP from her craft line. Such great Spring goodness. Speaking of, my birthday's about a month away.. right smack in the middle of Spring. I've got an extra rub-on set that'll be part of a bday blog candy :). Stay tuned!

Have a great rest of the day!

My Favorite Fairy

Happy Saturday, everyone! I apologize for the quality of the past couple of pictures. When I work 12 hour shifts, I don't even get to see the sun so I have to rely on indoor light.

This lovely thing is for Taylored Expressions Sketch Challenge # 92. What a cool, cool lay-out Taylor!



Can I just say that I am absolutely IN LOVE with this card?? Sure, it's more fall-like than winter what with the leaves from the American Crafts DSP. But I have to say I adore all the other elements. The strip of tie-dyed paper towel that I folded into a ribbon is from Traci Bautista's line, kol laj. It's decorated by scrapper's floss from Karen Foster. The CS is Bazzill and the whimsical bird DSP is from Crate Paper. The pearls are from Recollection and the stamped burgundy paper (I call that the purse :)) is also from kol laj.

And, of course, my most favorite part is Amy's Sweet November stamp - Fidget Goblinspider. When I started stamping for cards, I came across Amy's blog when she posted her fairy drawings. She is so talented, and I was ecstatic when her creations finally came to life in the rubber stamp world!! Truly an inspiration!

Here's a close-up of a portion of the card. I love Fidget's fiery-shaped hair and that her eyes are hopeful. I think these feminine creatures are so beautiful! I also think the ribbon is darling....although you can't see it very well here. Anyway, I usually hand-write my sentiments but I forgot to here. I think the card could do without :).



Have a great Sunday, everyone! I'm hoping my shift goes quickly!

All Boy

Super simple post today. Working an extra six hours this week. Take my commute of half hour to and from and that leaves little time to craft :(. I just keep thinking overtime *cha-ching*...and more stamps and a better Christmas will make it worth it :).

This card is for the Taylored Expressions Sketch Challenge #89. I always have a hard time making 'boy' cards as I love to 'accessorize' my page! This card is very simple for me.

The supplies are all from stash. The only one I know of is the striped DSP (Cosmo Cricket). The stamp is Ian from TGF. He's colored by Copics.

Happy Tuesday, everyone!

ARRRRgggHHHHH!!!

..that's my pirate impression! :)

Hi everyone! Today's card is meeting three challenges! I had a wonderful time doing this and it was easier than I thought!!

The first is for the FFF's Punch Drunk challenge at TGF. We are to use two different punches. I used a border punch from Martha Stewart-- it is white & to the right of the paper with the whale. The second is the scalloped punch behind pirate Anya!

The second is for the Diedrich Dare # 6. The goal was to use a pirate treasure map for inspiration! I saw Randi's takes on the dares and I LOVE all of them. She is such a genius and so very unique!

The card is also for the Taylored Expressions Sketch Challenge # 88. What a cute sketch, huh!

CS: Bazzill, American Crafts
PP: Sassafras
Mini Coasters: S.E.I.
Punches: Martha Stewart Border, EK Success' scalloped circle
