More Exciting News...

Hello!  I have MORE news to share...   I was asked to join the Clear Dollar Stamps Digital Design Team!

And that is not all...  My friend Lisa Lara has designed her first digi stamps, and they are available with the new releases TODAY!!   I have been fortunate to have some of Lisa's original doodles, and am so happy that she is finally able to share her talents with everyone!  Congrats, Lisa!!  I'm so excited for you!!!  You can see all the new releases today on the Clear Dollar Stamps Blog.

So, of course I chose one of Lisa's cute images for my card today!  This one is from the set called "Cheeps".

I paper pieced the bird image, and colored the branch with Copic markers.  The papers are from Everyday Flair and Dilly Dally (My Mind's Eye).  The sentiment was hand cut...  just followed the curve.

Thanks for stopping by today!  We are enjoying an unbelievable stretch of 70 degree days here in Minnesota.  Almost unheard of in March!!!  I hope you get to enjoy a beautiful day wherever you are!

Hambo Challenge

Hello Everyone!  


I am sharing a card today that I made for the Hambo Hoedown Challenge.  It is a sketch challenge this week:

Here is my card:

I used the digi stamp called "Monster Weights" from Hambo Stamps.   I printed the image in two sizes.  I wanted to exaggerate the size of the dumbbells, so I printed it about twice as big as normal.  If you look closely, you can see the normal size dumbbell shows...  I colored it to make it look like a spot!!  


Supplies: 
Cardstock: More Mustard, Riding Hood Red, Not Quite Navy, Old Olive (SU), White, Vanilla (PTI); Copic markers, Star punch (SU); Paper piercer (SU); circle die


Thanks for visiting today!!

Market Street Stamps Guest Designer

Hello Everyone!  I am so excited to share with you my two projects that I made for my Guest Designer spot at Market Street Stamps!!  THIS card won me a spot as a Guest Designer!  Also, there is a new free digi, and an opportunity to be a Guest Designer, at the Market Street Block Party!  You can see my feature on their blog here:  Market Street Stamps Blog.

Ok, on to my cards.  The first one uses the super adorable set called Birds of a Feather.  I used a real peacock feather on my card.  Who knew that a feather was going to be SOOOOO hard to photograph??  In person, the colors are much softer and have such an amazing shimmer.   I got this feather from my son, who has started a little chicken coop and also has two peacocks...  just for the "fun" of it.  haha.  They are LOUD!!!

 This card will be given as a wedding card to a couple getting married this summer.

She used a peacock feather stamp on her Save-The-Dates, so I think it may be her theme!

I colored the peacock with watercolor crayons, and then used a paint brush to apply gold Smooch spray.  The little hearts have dimensional glaze on them.  

My next card uses the sweet set called Cool Cats.  The cats are actually two separate images.  I just love how they cuddle up to each other so nicely!!!

I used my new My Mind's Eye paper called Dilly Dally to paper piece the cats.  

Lots of little fussy cutting here!!

I really enjoyed working with my Market Street Stamps!  Be sure to check them out!
