Fashion-ista Card ~ Peachy Keen Sketch Challenge


A few weeks ago my friend Katie gave me this set of stamps from Stampin' up. She had received them from a friend that was done with them but Katie never thought that she would use them so she passed them on to me.
And when I saw them I just couldn't wait to use them!
Peachy Keen has a wonderful sketch challenge going on right now that I thought would be perfect to try these stamps out on.

Here is my card.

Recipe:
Stamps: Stampin' up "Steppin' Style" colored with Bic markers
Paper: paper Studio "Safari Untamed"
Ribbon: Michaels (.33)
Others: i-rock Gems, White gel pen

I'm a Guest Designer Today :)

Today I have the honor and pleasure to be a guest designer over at Jen's blog

Here is the info for my project: Today I decided to make a Spring banner. The umbrella was cut from the "Create A Critter" cartridge at 6in. The purple paper I used came from the DCWV "Summer Dream" stack. The font cartridge I used was "Don Juan" and the letters were cut at 2.25in in pink glitter cardstock from DCWV's "Glitter Cardstock" stack. I also inked all the edges with brown ink.
This was really very quick and simple but I love it.


I hope you enjoy my project and have a great day!

Ladybug Scrapbook Pages

Hello and welcome!! Today is our first Whimsical Wednesday Challenge. We will be having these challenges every week with each challenge staying open for two weeks!! You will love the themes they are so fun, and a scrap booking challenge the first Wednesday of the month.
for this weeks challenge the theme is:
"Spring or Easter Layout with a critter or insect incorporated on the LO."


For this LO I used glitter card stock to cut the title at 1.25 in using the "Ashlynn's Alphabet" cartridge. The leaves were cut from the "Don Juan" cartridge at 2.5 in and the ladybug was cut from the "Doodlecharms" cartridge (but I forgot to write down the size.)


The lady bug I used for the journaling tag was also cut from the "Paisley" cartridge.
It was cut on RDS at 3.75in for the black layer, 2.5in for the red layer and the white layer was cut by hand at 2.25in (I couldn't get my center point to cut this layer out right.)
The polka dot flower is from Doodle Bug Designs.


The extras on this 2 page LO are: white gel pen, green gel pen, ribbon, stickers, and black Stickles on the ladybug and title.

I hope you get a chance to play along. To take a peek at the fabulous layouts the other DT team members have come up with swing on over to the

Throwback Thursday ~ You're a Good Noodle

I made this card for the Emma's Throwback Thursday challenge.
For this challenge it had to be cricut-less and you also had to follow a sketch.
The digital stamp came from MelJen's Designs under the freebie section.
(I got this months ago so I'm not sure if it's still available.)
I colored the stamp w/ Bic markers and added fruit punch & cinnamon Stickles.

This is the inside.
The sentiment stamp is from Scrappy Moms Stamps.
The meat balls were made with a 3/8in punch I distressed them and covered them with Cinnamon Stickles.
(My niece bumped me when I was doing the sentiment. )
I love you Mia. :)
I hope you enjoy and have a great day!!

Wild Flower Scrapbook Pages

Hello and Welcome to the Whimsical Wednesday Blog Hop!
We are glad you could join us. You should have arrived here from Stephanie alwayscrafting. If you just stopped by to say hi you can start at the beginning of the hop by clicking here Whimsical Wednesday.
Here is my project

Here is the first page: My page sizes are 8.5x11. My family and I find this to be the best size for us as they fit perfectly on a book shelf in our living room and it is easier for our kids to look through them then the 12x12 scrapbooks.

Here is the second page: For this layout the title was made using the "Sesame Street Font" cartridge (Sunny Day w/the shadow) I alternated between lowercase and uppercase. The 3 sunflowers were cut from the "Stretch Your Imagination" cartridge also with the shadow. The title has diamond Stickles on it, and the sunflowers have yellow Stickles also all edges have been inked with brown.
Here they are side by side.

This is the card I made.
I decided to use the left over paper I used on the LO on the card. This sunflower was also cut from the "Stretch Your Imagination" cartridge. The sentiment is from Scrappy Moms stamps. The extras on this card are: White gel pen, gold gel pen, Cinnamon Stickles, brown ink, and Fiskars Threading Water punch. The button was tied with yellow and white bakers twine.
I hope you enjoyed and a have a great day!
