Stamper's Dream & Friends Blog Hop!!!

Hey everyone, I have a quick card for you today. My sweet friend Michelle Rodger's from Stamper's Dream has asked me a while back if I wanted to participate in today's blog hop and of course I couldn't resist saying no!

Michelle has invited some more friends to play along and she is also giving away some *Blog Candy* (see picture below).  Make sure to come out and hop around!!!

I have the pleasure of showing you a card with a sentiment from the JustRite Collection called My Rainbow Borders. The sentiment and the border were inked in Memento Black. I used the QuicKutz Retro Diamond Embossing Folder in the background and added a doily behind the PTI Guide Lines Design Paper. At last I embellished my card with the matching PTI Stitched Ribbon, Button, some Flowers and some Large Halfback Pearls.

Here is the photo of the candy Michelle is offering and a link to all the fabbo friends that created a card for today's hop:

SSSC62 Love You - Impression Obsession last day!!!!

Hello and happy TGIF!!!

WOW this week has flown by.....can't believe it's Friday already!!! I was invited to a Stampin' Up event last night and had the opportunity to meet Shelli Gardner.....yep that's right.....she is the sweetest person and I'm so thrilled I had a chance to meet her in person!!! My friend Penny and I had so much fun meeting new stampin' friends and I promise to share some photo's and projects soon (hopefully tomorrow)!!!

Anyway, today marks the last day for the Impression Obsession Week over at Stamper's Dream !!! It is also my last day with the fabulous ladies from the SD DT and I want to thank Michelle for the wonderful opportunity to be her Guest Designer!!! Thank you Michelle!!!

I inked up the sweet My Funky Valentine Set!!!  I used the Sweet Sunday Sketch #62 for my layout. The image was inked in Memento Black and I colored it with Copic Markers.  I embossed my background with the sweet Cuttlebug Heart Folder. My colors for this card are Red, Pink and Black. At last I added the sentiment, the Black Ribbon and the Red Gemstones.

Here is a *CAS* idea......

The flourished image was inked in Memento Black. The flower was punched out with the Scalloped Circle Punch and I used the DP from the Riding Hood Red Collection. I added a Large Silver Eyelet and a Clear Rhinestone Brad in the center. The sentiment was created with this Set. To finish the card off I added the Black/White Checker Ribbon.

Please make sure to stop by Laurie, Tosh and Michelle and see their ideas with the Impression Obsession Stamps. Just in case you missed the entire week of fabo Impression Obsession creations...stop by HERE to get caught up!!!

Stamper's Dream, JustRite, Color Throwdown and MTSC62

Happy Wednesday!!! I got up early and started stampin'!!!

I have two cards to share with you....starting out with the Color Throwdown - CTD82.  The Sketch is from the Tuesday Morning Sketch #35.

Here is my take on it.......I substituted the Navy color for Enchanted Evening.

The flower image is from the JustRite - Plant a Little Love Set. I inked it in Memento Black and colored it with Copic Markers - G94, R37 and Colorless Blender.

The BG panel was punched out with the Scallop Trim Punch. I finished the card by adding the Silver Pearls around the inked border and I topped it off with the Ribbon Bow. 

****************************************

Next is the MTSC63 Sketch....it's pretty straight forward.

I used another beautiful JustRite image called Beautiful Blossoms.

The image was inked in Memento Black and also colored with Copic Markers - RV000, RV00, RV02, V01, RV09, RV19, G07 and Colorless Blender.

The JustRite images are from the Stamper's Dream Store...at this moment Michelle is waiting for another shipment.!!! Please check back if you are interested in these items!!!

Have a wonderful day...I'm off to do some shopping and grab lunch with friend Penny :) !!! Hugs ~S~

Hey you all....did you know the Stamper's Dream Team is showing off some of the newest JustRite images this week??? Today is Michelle, Cammie, Tosha and my turn. Hope you have time to join us in this fun hop!?!

My little project is for a sweet friend of mine...I have totally forgotten her birthday and I feel rotten...hope this will put a smile on her face and she will forgive me :) !?! ETA: I also submitted this card for this Moxie Fab Challenge...it fits the Birthday catagory perfectly!!!

I used the fab flower image from the Beautiful Blossom Set. The sentiment was created with this Times New Roman Font Set. On my little candy pail I used the matching image from the Just a Note Set.

My images were inked in Memento Black and colored with Copic Markers - R30, R27, Y17, G94 plus Colorless Blender.

I purchased this stinkin' cute little pail on my last trip to Archiver's....it's perfect for little giveaways!!! The Flower Border Punch is from Martha Stewart. Of course I had to bedazzle my card and pail with my fav Silver Pearls.

Stamper's Dream...JustRite and Northwood

Happy Wednesday everyone!!!

Did you all play Betty's awesome CC258 yesterday??? Well... I really loved this color combo and I had to make two more cards :)

For my first card I used the beautiful JustRite image from the Plant a Little Love Borders & Centers. It's back in the Stamper's Dream Store...just in case you've been waiting for it!!!

I inked the flower image in Memento Black and colored it with Copic Markers.

The corners on the bottom of my card were punched with a Corner Rounder. I don't recall what brand the DP is from...I found it in my leftover stash...sorry. I dressed the card up with some Lace Ribbon, some Soft Suede Dotted Ribbon that I flipped around. I added some Silver Pearls on top and some punched out Scallop Trim Borders on the DP edges.

****************************************

My second card was inspired once again by the CAS54 - Wishing for Spring. The layout is from this weeks MMSC41 Sketch.

Easter is only a few weeks away and I thought I'd start working on some of my *Easter* cards. This sweet image is from Northwoods Rubber Stamps called Bunny with Tulips. Isn't it cute???

I inked this image with Memento Black and colored it with Copic Markers.

The image was layered onto another White CS and I pierced right around it. My BG colors are So Saffron and the Green DP is from the KaiserCraft called Lilac Avenue Collection. The card was dressed up with some Ribbon, some Small and Large Silver Pearls.

Hope you like my *Spring* cards :) !?!

Have a wonderful day and I'll see ya soon!!!

Stamper's Dream - JustRite and Impression Obsession

Howdy friends!!!

I haven't been feeling so hot these last few days....I came down with a *head cold* and my poor little Miriam has *strep*!!!

I think I mostly slept yesterday and took Miriam to the doctor....my poor baby did look good at all. I hate when my babies are sick!!! Thank goodness for medicine.....we are almost good as new - LOL!!!

I felt like stampin' this afternoon and created two cards. Both cards feature the same SSCC49 Sketch.

My first card has the colors from this weeks CTD77 - using Elegant Eggplant, Baja Breeze and Certainly Celery.

I used the newly released Plant a Little Love Borders & Centers Set from JustRite. I think Michelle already sold all of her stock...so please keep your eyes open for a new shipment to the Stamper's Dream Store!!!

The border image was inked in Elegant Eggplant. The flower itself was watercolored with Elegant Eggplant and Baja Breeze. The leaves were colored with Copic Markers. The BG was embossed. I finished the card off with the yummy Satin Ribbon, Glitter and Silver Pearls.

**************************************

My second card was created for the JustRite Challenge - JRC_003. 

The heart image is from the My Funky Valentine Set from Impression Obsession.

I inked the the heart with Real Red and trimmed right around the edges. The sentiment was created with the Times Roman Font Set from JustRite.

I found the cute Heart DP in the Dollar Section at Target. I finished the card with the Red Satin Ribbon, Button and a Red Square Rhinestone.

All the images are from the Stamper's Dream Store!!!
