Cupcake Card

Hidy Ho! Woohooo. Its Wednesday! Thank goodness. Only two more days until I leave for craft-n-camp. My twice a year 3 day 2 night scrapbooking retreat. I am sooooo ready! This is a little card I whipped up for a friend of my daughters who turned 10. I still love pink and black together. The card base is PTI White and the pink is PTI Sweet Blush. The black is DCWV. Ink used is PTI Sweet Blush and Pallet Black Noir. That ca-ute cupcake is CTMH Cupcake Sprinkles. The HB sentiment is also CTMH Happy Birthday set. The stars were punched out with Stampin Up large and small star punches. I punched them out of CTMH adhesive sheets (retired). Then sprinkled pink and black glitter on them. I really liked the large grain of the glitter. I got it at Hobby Lobby in the Christmas Clearance stuff. The bottles were pretty big and only like .70 cents. Okay kids, gonna run...got MORE laundry to do!
Thank you for stopping by!!!!
Cheers!

Will You Be Mine?

Hi Guys!! Hope your Tuesday is great. We are getting closer to the weekend! I wanted to share another card I made from the Cosmo Cricket kit Chemistry. I used the sketch that comes with Cosmo Cricket kits. It gives several scrapbooking page sketches as well as couple of card sketches. Gotta love that. So this is what I came up with. Came together pretty quickly!! I sold a bunch of Valentine's Day cards at work today! woohoo gotta love that too! Now I have more money for STAMPS!!!!! Anyway, so today I got crazy and signed up for a Hip Hop class at my daughters Dance school. How insane is that!! I watched a few dance teams at her competitions doing Hip Hop and I LOVED watching it. So, her school has an adult hip hop class and I just did it! My first class is Thursday, I will be sure to let you know how it goes unless I am too sore to type afterwards! teehee. Thanks for coming to see me! Hope to see you again tomorrow! Have a warm evening. It is super chilly here tonight.
Cheers!

Grandbaby's Valentine Card

Hola Senoras' and Senoritas'
Hope you all are having a wonderful Saturday. Mine has been just great, the house was already clean except for a few loads of laundry (how does it accumulate so dang fast???). I got to meet my 5 very best girlfriends for lunch today. It was awesome how we all managed to have a Saturday free at the same time and on just a moments notice! Well, on to todays card I want to share. This Valentine card is for my precious grandbaby Logan. He is only 5 months old but I am sure he will love to look at the vibrant colors...so much so that he will try to eat it (he is trying to cut some teeth) teehee. I did not have any paper that had these colors in it (shock!!) I thought I had everything. So, what is a crafty girl to do other than make her own. I made the stripe paper with my Prismacolor Markers and the orange is Copic Ciao Marker making some imperfect lines. Then for the pattern I used the lined star from Reach for the Stars from CTMH and the solid star and heart from Around and About by PTI. For the sentiment I used PTI again Heart Prints I did have to mask off ( 's) from Valentine. That super cute UFO is CTMH Reach for the Stars. I used my Copic markers to color it in. I still need lots of practice with Copics but, I am having fun in the process. The red cardstock is PTI Pure Poppy the Orange is CTMH and the blue I got from my stash and I think it is Hobby Lobby. So anyway, I have rambled long enough. Got to start dinner. It is an early bed time tonight as we have another dance competition alllll day long tomorrow. Thanks for the visit!! I appreciate your time.
Cheers!

Valentine card and a Dance pic

Hidy Ho Folks!
Well, we made through our very first dance competition. Here is a pic of the chaos backstage. Grace and the team did great. They won a couple of first place,second and third places. We have to do this again next Sunday, sheesh I was exhausted from just running backstage to change hair and outfits then back out to the audience again. It was fun though and the girls had a blast. Well, I imagine you came here to see a card...and I do have one for you. I made a bright Valentine's Day card using my new Raspberry cardstock from PTI, oooooooooo, I love,love,love this color!
You should really get some. The stamp set is Heart Prints also PTI. I also used PTI colors Summer Sunrise, Spring Moss, Lemon Tart and Plum Pudding. I made a few scor lines using the scor pal and some delicious Swiss Dot Raspberry Fizz ribbon. You should really get some of that ribbon too. You should just get the entire collection of Raspberry Fizz. Okay, that's it, I NEED to make some hot chocolate for the family. Thank you for the visit today. I hope you enjoyed!
Cheers!

Evening boys and girls. Thanks for making your way over here today. Since I shared a Fathers Day card yesterday I wanted to share a Mothers Day card today. I used all PTI schtuf. The stamp set is Floral Frenzy and Mother is from Women of Life I stamped on Vintage Cream and used Ocean Tides and Aqua Mist ink and cardstock. I am sooo sorry but I forget where I got the sketch although I want to say I got it from Splitcoast Stampers. I raised the main image on foam dots. Pretty simple. My mom loved it though. Would she really tell me if she did not like it? Hope you enjoy the rest of your day and tomorrow!

Ah, sometimes he is just the BEST! Today I wanted to share a Fathers Day card I made using PTI card stock and Father Knows Best patterned paper.
