Custom Card Monday - Cookie Fairies

Hello my friendals!  Hope everyone had a great Mother's Day weekend! :) Happy belated Mother's day to all the Moms out there (whether a Momma of humans or beastlies!)

It's Monday! Time for another custom card! Here's one I made for some friends who wanted to give a card to another mutual friend! This friend loves thin mints and we sent her a few boxes with the card.

The digi is from Paper Makeup stamps.  Its from the Jennifer Scull set. :) I colored her with Copic markers and added a copic colored thin mint into her hand.  Just some simple embossed paper, paper doily, spellbinders die cut, computer generated sentiment, pearls, and glitter was left to add.

Entering this in the following challenges:

Tuesday Throwdown - Special Lady

New Challenge at Party Time Tuesdays

We have a color challenge at Party Time Tuesdays! Bust out your red, green, and gold!  Here's my project:

This digi is called Holly Fairy and it's by Paper Makeup Stamps.  Colored her with Copics.  Used some scrap Stampin Up Christmas paper.  The rub on and punches are also SU.  Added some Dazzling Diamonds glitter to her wings, Crystal Effects to her cheeks and poofy trim (on her coat and boots) and also colored some SU pearls gold to go in the corner of the card.  

Can't wait to see what you guys create!

Update on me: Still on jury duty!  Looks like the case will go way into January.  I'm off from work, but spending my holiday break in the courthouse.  Very interesting experience. Now that my craft fairs are all done, I'm looking forward to my weekends back! Hooray! Hopefully I can update my blog more, visit you guys, and replenish my Etsy shop! 'Till then!

Carri's Birthday Hop!

Hey guys!  Welcome to Carri's birthday blog hop!  Carri is an amazing, talented woman from Double Click Connections.   She is an inspiration to many of us in the hop and today we are hopping along to celebrate her birthday and what a wonderful woman she is!  You should have arrived here from Nitasha's page.  If you just stumbled upon this hop while visiting me (oh, you're so sweet!), be sure to check the line up at the bottom of this post and start at Georgiana's page.  Lot's of talented people on this hop!!!

Without much further ado, here's the card I sent Carri for her birthday!

The digi is called Natalie from Paper Makeup Stamps.  Inked her up with Copics and added some Dazzling Diamonds to her wings.  The paper is from The Paper Studio and the sentiment is an old Stampin Up hostess set that I can't get myself to get rid of!

How about some blog candy???? :D

Stampin Up's "Perfect Words" stamp set is perfect for this hop and telling your most special people what they mean to you!  (Each of these sentiments describe Carri to a T!)  To win, become a follower and leave a comment on this post with a way to contact you. :)  That's it!
