it's exhausting...

I am still working on inking up my stamps and trying to use them at least once.

I got a new shipment of Art Impressions stamps in the mail last week and just had to use this image as it so me reminds me of ME and my BFF Judy.

(Copics Used: E000, E01, E02, R20, R35, N0, N1, E09, E23, E25, 

E29, Y02, Y06, YR15, YR18)

This Laughing Set was such a fun image to work with. 

I paper pieced most of the clothing and colored in the rest of it with my copic markers, I then added a couple strips of matching papers to the top and stitched them on at an angle leaving the tails long. Next up I added a flair badge that matched the design pretty well. (or at least I hope it does)

Thanks for stopping by my blog today it really means a lot to me.

Shades of Red - Challenge 2

It is time for our February challenge over at Scribbles Designs and this month it is all about "shades of red".

I used the 'hearts truck' and colored it with different shades of red using my copic markers and then used papers from the Fancy Pants 'the good life' collection.

I must admit that this little truck is my favorite image right now.

I hope you will join us this month and play along in our 'shades of red' challenge.

Make sure and stop over at the Scribbles Designs blog and check out what the rest of the design team has come up with.

Thanks for stopping by my blog today it really means a lot to me.

I'm back! Did you miss me or didn't you even realize I was gone? I have been busy scrapbooking and have completed about 15 layouts so far this week.

I have a card to share with you today that I created for this weeks Merry Monday challenge.

I used papers and stickers by Fancy Pants along with a Spellbinders die and alpha stickers by October Afternoon and Jillibean

Here is the sketch that inspired my card.

Thanks for stopping by and as always I appreciate those of you that leave your comments. So I am thinking of shutting down my blog here, what are your thoughts? Will you miss me? Do you even really care?

snow much fun

Happy Monday! Did you all have a great weekend? We had beautiful weather here in Minneapolis this past weekend.

Yesterday was card club at Anchor Paper Express where I teach with my friend Bonnie and Kathy. We had a full group and it was a lot of fun.

I created this card the other night using "Saint Nick" papers by Fancy Pants. I used a Martha Stewart border and snowflake punch and the sentiment is an SRM sticker.

I used this weeks Card Patterns sketch as my inspiration.

Thanks for stopping by to look. I love comments so if you read my blog please do me a favor and leave a comment because who knows when I will sling out some of my handmade wrinkle ribbon as a give away for one commenter. :P

A quick post this morning before I leave to spend the day with my BFF Jeanne and her twin sister Judy.

This card is for the sketch challenge over at CCEE I have used my new Vintage Valentine papers by Fancy Pants. I love that they are Kraft papers. To them I have added some Ranger distressed Vintage Photo ink and a Heidi Grace Heart Stick Pin.

Enjoy your day and spend it with the people you care about!
