Congratulations!!

MFT Al la Mode--It Must Be Love!! My oldest daughter and I are in the "throes" of planning her wedding, fun and challenging and busy!! When I saw this set, I wanted to make her a card. Well, I finished it yesterday and took some pics {which was a good thing because when she came by for supper last night and saw it- she scarfed it right up!!}. Image was stamped in memento tuxedo black onto a nesties and colored with copics. May have gotten a little carried away with the glass glitter on the diamond but, she does like "shiny" things!!
The layout is for this week's MFT wednesday sketch challenge which you can check out here on SCS.



TFL!! Appreciate when you stop by and all your kind words. Makes my day!!

Marissa...Thinking of You!!

Now, Marissa knows I am not being creepy!! She is a blogging friend of mine who just so happened to be the Featured Stamper this week on SCS. Finally got my card done, based on this card of hers. I changed the colors, nestie, and sentiment but, kept the layout and layered ribbon. I am NEW to the featured stamper and when I reviewed I discovered that I shouldn't use a sketch card of hers as it is really a case of the sketch. Good intentions, though!!!

My card:


TFL!! Love when you stop by and appreciate all the kind words!!

Ingredients
Stamps: Verve Kind Words
Paper: black, crumbcake, BoBunny Mama Razzi {even thought of Marissa with this as some folks call her Mama Rissi?}
Ink: memento tuxedo black
Accessories: nesties, SU ribbon, rhinestones

Thoughts!!

MOJO Monday sketch and Stacey's colors. Struggled a little... love these colors and started out with this Basic Gray Capella dp which is gorgeous. It had the blue,chocolate, and artichoke--- then, how to incorporate the cajun craze. Tried several different combos and finally gave up... KWIM??? Flowers are the smallest from Verve's Great Friends and the flower in Amazing Wishes--- Julee always creates sets that mix and match... how wonderful is that!! Sentiment is from  Amazing Wishes also. Have some friends that needed some sympathy cards and this will work.

Here's the colors:

Here's my card....

Honestly, have been trying to load ".gif" files {the sketch is a gif file} and my blogger won't allow, although it says I can... must be doing something wrong... any tips???

Thanks for looking. Love and appreciate when you stop by!!

Love!!

Worked on this card last weekend when I was having computer problems and based the sketch off of Teresa Kline's card, guessing at what the sketch looked like. Now, I LOVED Teresa's card and I adjusted the sketch a little- we both took a "little" liberty with the sketch!!! Or, I should say, Teresa had fun with the sketch to her liking and then, I did too!!

Hearts and sentiment are from Verve's last release, Text Objects, I absolutely adore this set and haven't had a chance to play with it as much as I would like. Paper is Circa 1934 by Cosmo Cricket {in love with this too!!}. The circle was stamped with an image from Waltzingmouse Stamps Circular Sayings which are nestie compatible. Added buttons from my stash and some divine twine from The Cats Pajamas.

TFL!!

No Small Miracles!!

When I was making this card, I was thinking of snowflakes and how they are all so different, intricate, and beautiful but, today.... I'm thinking-finally back online blogging!!! We bought an iPad for Xmas {yes, it is pretty nifty!!} but, somehow when the WiFi got hooked up to our wireless- it messed up my access to blogs. This card was made for a previous Cat's Pajamas challenge to use lavendar, aqua, and light blue. The image is from the latest release and she's adorable!! The image was stamped on a nestie and colored with copics. I took a copics class a while back and learned to color brown hair {actually did well in the class} but, it seems to be eluding me. Amber Hight at The Stamping Scrapbooker recently posted a tutorial on coloring hair so, I'm going to have to try her technique!!

I am lovin' the snowflake die from the Cats Pajamas, layered in three colors with SU punched flowers, button , and divine twine!! Stamped the scarf, colored with copics and popped on top. Added some divine twine linen thread for the fringe on the scarf and bow on the button. Used an older CB folder with snowflakes.

TFL!!

Ingredients
Stamps: TCP
Paper: Mitten Weather. SU lavendar, bashful blue, teal
