Thanks a Cherry Bunch

Hi All. Happy Saturday to you. My card today was made for this weeks SCS Sketch Challenge. SC238. Now this is one of those cards where I kept switching things up a bit and then at the end still say...coulda shoulda woulda...

I used my much neglected Tart and Tangy set from SU with some left over retired Summer Picnic Paper and paper from Ski Slope. Heres my story about this Tart and Tangy set. When I decided I wanted it last year it had been taken out of the catalog so what do I do if I want hard to find items. I turn to ebay. Where I found it being sold for $25. I bought it. Little did I know it would be put back into the catalog at 12.95!!! Oh well. You win some you lose some. I actually just hit it right with some Cosmo Cricket paper on ebay for an outstanding price. But anywhoo... so I stamped my 3 images after coloring them with marker and doing the old huffing routine. My cardstock is Bashful Blue, Real Red, and Basic Black. Brads are from the Pink Hedgehog and ribbon is from Michaels.

Thanks so much for stopping by. Hope you have a fantastic Saturday!!

Have tea with me!!

Every night I climb into bed with my daughter to snuggle then when my hubby comes upstairs he brings me a cup of hot tea. It is a great winddown and nice way to have a conversation after a long day. That is why I just love this Flopsey. He/She is so relaxed under a nice shady tree drinking hot tea. AHHHH.....So this stamp is called Tea with Flopsey from MFT. LOVE IT!!! I guess I have a thing for cute little bunnies. Well I stamped my image onto PTI Cardstock with memento tuxedo black and colored with my copics. My dsp is also from MFT. It is thier summer pack and let me tell you how yummy this paper is IRL along with my beautiful sheer ribbon also from MFT summer bundle. MMM MMM MMM!! My cardstock is baja breeze from SU and the red I found in a brights pack from DCWV. It matched perfectly!! Brads I had in stash and that sweet little white flower was purchased in a little tin from Michaels Bridal Section. They have a bunch of different colors and they are very sweet. My sentiment was cut out using my oval punches from SU. And my card is complete. Hope you like this little guy as much as I do.

Thanks so much for stopping by. Have a great night!!

IC168

This weeks Inspiration Challenge IC168 over at SCS was to use the site called Flutter. They have great home furnishing. I was really inspired by this particular rug:

Now truth be told, I knew in my head what I wanted to accomplish but I have to tell you that I stamped ALL kinds of different flowers before deciding on whipping out my old fiskars flower punches. None of the stamps I own were working well with what was in my brain, but I am soooo happy with the final result.

For this card I used Baja Breeze, Old Olive and Whisper White card stock. My dsp is from Green Tea. My flowers were stamped with fiskars punches. 3 different kinds and then my center is a simple silver brad from Making Memories. The swirl is stamped in Old Olive and that swirl is from a set called Stars over at Paper Makeup. My sentiment is H&M Stamps.

Thanks so much for stopping by. Have a great day!

I never did this weeks sketch challenge over on SCS for some reason so I decided to give it a try today. I also took out paper that I had and never opened. CAN YOU IMAGINE? A crafting item bought and not used. Impossible. LOL. So I used this adorable Magnolia whose name I do not know. How do you all remember their names. They are not on the packages. Any whoo.....My paper is from SU Muirfield and my cardstock is all SU too. Primas and brad, nesties for sentiment and we have ourselves a card. Oh and of course I used my copics to color.

Now here is my big question and maybe it has been asked before and I missed everyones answer BUT...on the Magnolias do you color thier hands as if in mittens with the winter stamps or do you color them in flesh tones? I never thought about this until today but would like to know what everyone else does.

Thanks so much for stopping by.
