Hand Stamped with a Little Lagniappe

Sketch Challenge 174

This was a fun challenge.  I had done not a challenge in a while.  I used Karen Foster's Adhesive Cork sheet and Karen Foster's Flip Flops.  I used SU's Blue Bayou and Close to Cocoa.  The stamp set is My Favorite Things Hit the Beach set.  I thought the Blue Bayou looked plain so I had some Crystal Effects sitting on my stamping table.  I think it looks like water drops.  I think I might have to  make some of these for some friends for the beginning of summer.

TCPTUES03 Challenge

I made this card for "The Cat's Pajama's Tuesday challenge.  It was a sketch challenge.  I used the SU set Unfrogettable.  The designer paper is SU's Cutie Pie along with Whisper White, So Saffron, Certainly Celery and Bashful Blue.  I used my new Cuttlebug embossing folders for the squares.  I used the SU markers to color along with a white Gel pen.  I really like how it came out.

I want something sweet to eat

Sorry I missed yesterday.  We spent the weekend in Baton Rouge.  We had a great time watching Conner, Caroline, Clifton, Analynn and Timothy play.  They had a lot of fun together.  This is  card I had made when I made the April bella of the month card.  I really like stamping with PMSabella.

Bella Sistah Package

I got a great package from my bella sistah Christi.  The ribbon organizer is wonderful and now full of my StampinUp ribbons.  Christi introduced me to a new stamp company called Sweet'n Sassy.  I love this set.  I know it will get a lot of use.  Thanks Christi!  I loved everything.

New Stamps from Scrappsaurus

The new scrapbook store Scrappsaurus opened and I am so excited.  They carry some STAMP sets.  I got this set by Impression Obsession called Masculine set.  I love it of course because it has Fleur de lis on it.  I used chocolate chip craft ink and embossing powder on the squares.  I then cuttlebuged some old olive and sponged it with chocolate chip.  I love this fleur de lis designer paper.  The new store also carries some My Favorite Things stamp set.  I bought a new set also.

Time for You

I made this card for the SCS's color challenge. You had to use Mellow Moss, Creamy Caramel, Apricot Appeal and Cameo Coral. I really like this color combination after I finished my card. I used SU's sets Time for You and Two Cute. The bicycle is stamped on watercolor paper and colored with an aqua painter. I used light brown grosgrain and antique brads as finishing touches.

My First Sweet’n Sassy

Yesterday I got a great package from my bella sister Christi. In it was a Sweet'n Sassy stamp set. I had not stamped with this company before and was very anxious to play. My friend Donna loves to purse shop so I thought of her when I was making this card. The colors are So Saffron, Real Red and Tempting Turquoise. Hope you enjoy. We are off to the city this morning.

Friday Bellaholic Challenge

 

This is the card I made for last Friday's bellaholic yahoo color challenge. I had bought this paper from Target some time ago and when I saw the colors I was so excited I could use it. I have really been practicing using my Prismacolor pencils(thanks Tanya) and Gamsol. I need to get a sanding stick to sharpen my stumps. I like how the paper piercing came out at the top of the card. I made four other cards that I will have to share for this challenge. I could only enter one of the challenge contest. Sparkle's card was great and she took the prize.
