YNS is going DOTTY!!!

With their challenge that is! It's time for Your Next Stamp's next byweekly challenge...todays challenge 15 is...yup, you guessed it...dots! I deceided to use severals kinds of dots. Dotted paper, white gel pen dots and big giant yellow dots...there are more, but they're hiding :)

I really love how this card turned out! I had origionally stamped the image and was going to leave the background white, but then I got a bee in my bonnet and decided that I wanted to bust out my craft ink pads and a sponge and go to town! So I made some masks (in honor of the Post-it Notes 30th Birthday) and made some masks for Fhionna and the clouds and then sponged using my craft ink...I love the way this looks, so bright and line free! Since I had already adhered it to the orange CS I went ahead and just pulled the sponge just to the edge and then let it be...SOOO cool I think!

I don't ususally use these bright colors, but i think they look FABBY...so bright and cheery! Love it!

Supplies:

Stamps: Flying high Fhionna by Your Next Stamp

Ink: stazon black, craft tempting turquoise

Paper: PTI white, Karen Frost DP, only orange by SU!

Accessories: Marvy scallop punch, white gel pen, sponge, 1 inch circle punch, watercolor

pencils and blender pens

Thank you Lord Jesus for loving me enough to give me such a wonderful, loving husband! For this I am truly thankful!

This is one of my FAV wedding pics! It was taken at the church grounds where we got married, Cala Lillies are my FAV flowers!!


We met at Ruby Tuesday's, I was his waitress, so we thought it fitting to go have pics taken there, and I am sooo glad we did!

WOW, two today! Look out world, and a prayer request!!

Okay I know I'm a little out of my norm by making two cards in one day...but I wanted to stamp and the Ways to Use it challenge wasn't posted yet (since I'm 7 hours ahead of east coast time).

-So I did a sketch challenge, then the kids were napping and the Ways to use it 267 challenge on SCS was posted, so I stamped!

-Plus, I was over at MelStampz and she has some super fun FREE images that were "sew" cute that I just HAD to make a card with them! See THIS post!

-And last but certainly NOT least, there was an inspiration challenge #46 over at Tree House Stamps that was super inspirational!

Here is my card! What do you think? I love the colors and how this image was already pre-cool for me to make something with...for the background I used some scraps of DP and adhered them to white and then ran them through the printer again with another FREE background paper from Mels blog, then I stitched it with my Janome Sew mini machine...I love that thing! Colored it with my watercolor crayons and then added a sentiment.

This is going to a friend of mine that was just diagnosed with a brain tumor, it's a pretty large one and one that is not easily treated, so I just ask that you keep her in your prayers, her name is Danielle, she's only 37 and I just pray that even if I am so far away I can be there for her in spirit and prayer! This will be a journey for her and her husband...I pray for them!

Thanks again for looking! I appreciate your visits and your comments, you truly fuel my creativity!

Hugs and Happy Stampin'

Puppy Love, BABY!!!

I made this card for a friend of mine that is about to have a ababy boy...and for the fun sketch challenge found here at Taylored Expressions

My fav thing about this card is how the little heart just slightly peeks over the edge of the orange...too cute! It's a simple card to make, but the little extra details really add up...I love the sponging around the dog and the stitching really set it off!

Supplies:

Stamps: {Little one} and {Puppy Love} both by Little Paper Shop

Ink: Stazon black, baja breeze

Feelin' SCS CAS-N-Sketchy

I was browsing the challenges on SCS and I really loved todays sketch 275 and I also liked Mondays CAS challenge...to use only a sentiment stamp...so I combined the two challenges and this is what I came up with!

The paper I used is called "The Whimsy Stack" by DCWV. I loved the colors in the papers and the swirl...not to mention that it was already glittery and shimmery...BONUS! So once I cut my pieces all I did was attach. I cut out a scallop rectangle with my large rectangle nestabilities and then a simple textured white piece of bazzil paper. Add some delicious flowers and a designer brad and dimentionals...Voila, your card is complete!

Supplies:

Stamps: {Moments} by Little Paper Shop

Ink: stazon black

Monday, Monday Monday!!!

Can you believe it...the weekend goes by sooo quickly...how does that happen? Thank goodness we're on Spring break and I can relax a bit longer...although with spring cleaning the porches and driveway I don't think there will be much rest! Anywho, here is todays Little Paper Shop Challenge...it's a fun sketch!

Okay, so this is your warning, my card doesn't so much look exactly like the sketch...but it's pretty and it resembles the sketch somewhat! LOL

I used two stamps from LPS...one is a more recent release called {Moments}
The other set I used is an older one...but still awesome in it's own right! The set I used for the cool border is called {Flourished Dove} I really like this set...it has some amazing stamps that you can use as main images or accents like I have done here!

So, I know you want to play along! This week as your FREE PRIZE is {Mermaid Jena} digi...isn't she cute? Please check out the LPS BLOG for all the deets and to see what the rest of the DT has come up with!


ohhh and we have 3 new guest designers along for the ride...please check out their awesome creations as well!
