Almost Valentines Day!

Good morning guys! Today I wanted to show you the other card I made for my friends daughters for Valentines Day. One daughter likes flowers and bling so that was the card I showed last week, her other daughter prefers things a little simpler so this is her card.

This is Catherine nibbling chocolate, one of the fabulous Uptown girls of coures. After I made it I wish I had done more of a black and pink scheme but I stuck that baby down with extra strong adhesive so it wasn't budging! I did add some pink cardstock to the back of my doily to make it pop a bit more. Ok, time to get back to work and have you played along with our challenge yet this week? It is an easy one, "Anything Goes" and Emily just had a new release to spend those bella bucks on if you win!

Bellarific Friday!

This is my second post for today, if you are looking for the MIC blog hop it is below this one. This weeks challenge for Stamping Bella was a sketch and I really liked this one, will definitely be going in my stack!

I have used Ramona and her Wagon today and one of my fav color combos, yellow and red.

I believe these papers are older MME (I am really trying to use my older papers up!) and the lace was a gift from my friend Lisa, isn't it pretty? I thought it was perfect for this card and so glad she thought enough of me to send it to me awhile ago. Ok, next week is easy, "Anything Goes" and don't forget to check out our biweekly challenges at SCS!

MIC Valentines day Blog hop!

Hey everyone, today is the Valentines hop for MIC and I am showing off a bit of a CAS card using Geeky Love, I just love this image! Hopefully you have arrived here from Bron's blog, she is a sweetie and I am sure her card is awesome!

They are colored with copics and some chalk pencil for a little shading. Ok, next on the hop is Rhea and if you comment on everyones blogs as you go along you will be entered to win one of the new Wedding images available in the store. Good luck!

Short but sweet

Hi everyone! Just a quick post from me today as I am a bit behind and need to get the ol butt moving this morning. I wanted to share a Valentines card I made for a friend to give to her daughter, I will show the other one to you next week. This daughter is all about the flowers and bling so that I chose Uptown Girl Lucille sends her love and colored all of the hearts in with glitter.

 Be warned if you do this it may warp your paper a bit and I had a heck of a time trying to get it to lay flat. Some flowers, a little lace (thanks Patty!) and a sentiment (thanks Elaine!) and she is good to go. Ok, don't forget about our challenge for this friday which is a sketch and our biweekly challenges on SCS.

You're So Sweet!

So glad it is Friday but I have a busy weekend coming up too so have a feeling I will be going non stop for the next week or so. Oh well, that is life at times right? Today it's time for another Stamping Bella challenge and our theme for the past week was "You're So Sweet" and here is my take. And check out the end of my post for some exciting info.

This is Ramona loves Cake and unfortunately, she seems to be out of stock right now. I know Emily is clearing out the store to make room for some new images so I am sure she will be getting in new rubbah soon. She is colored with copics and I used conte pencils for a smidge of shading, still getting use to them. And do you see that MIC chipboard I framed the image with? Can you guess what I painted it with, huh can ya? Nail Polish! Yep, had some glitter nail polish I wasn't using and thought I would give it a go, I am telling you, this is my new go to paint for chipboard! They even come with their own brush haha! Ok, this week we have a sketch for you to play along with.
Good luck, make sure to email your entry to Emily and don't forget about the biweekly challenges we have going over on SCS. Lots of ways to win some bella bucks! And Emily has decided she needs to make room for new stuff (woohoo!) so starting today, Feb 1st thru Feb 3rd, if you use the code "ineedtopurge2013" you will get 15% off everything, including sale stuff!
