CQC32 Special Day and IC232, WT270, QFTD09 Life's Moments

Happy weekend!!!

I can't even begin telling you how happy I am that it is weekend!!!  What a crazy week it has been...good crazy at least. So much going on and so little time!!! I was so looking forward to Friday night...because I usually have some stampin' time!!!

Did I mention my hubby is off for the next 75 days.....in a way it's nice, but then again he is the one who keeping me busy...because of him I don't get any stampin' done :( !!! I hate to say it, but I'm counting down the days till the University is back in session.....LOL!!!

Anyway...I did escape tonight to my super messy stamp room. I started out with this card......the color combo is from this weeks CQC32 - using Kiwi Kiss, Groovy Guava, Kraft, Basic Black and Vanilla.

I used the Branch Out Set from Stampin' Up. The tree and tire image were inked in Memento Desert Sand. The sentiment is from a stamp set that is unkown and I inked it in Basic Black along with the little birdy image. The leaves were inked in Kiwi Kiss and Groovy Guava. The Kraft CS was embossed with the awesome Retro Diamonds Folder from QuicKutz. I finished the card off by adding two stripes of Black Ribbon and the Black Pearls.

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

Of course I couldn't wait to play this weeks Inspiration Challenge #232 ~ Two Lumps of Sugar over on SCS. I chose this New Hope Vintage Fabric as it reminded me of the fabulous new Elements of Style image from Stampin' Up. I combined it with this weeks Queen for the Day #9 Challenge. This week the Queen is Linda Hotwheels aka *Hotwheels*. I chose to case this card from her. Along the way I discovered that the WT270 is all about distressing....and added this technique to my cards as well.

I'm really lovin' this new Stampin' Up Set....it is so versatile and sooooo gorgeous!!! I inked it in Memento Black and colored it with Copic Markers - R22, YR00, R000, G12, G24.

I distressed & color distressed the edges with Chocolate Chip Ink. I added the Wild Wasabi Ribbon with the Copper Label Holder as well as the matching Copper Brads. At last I bedazzled the flowers with some Dazzling Diamond Glitter....voila!!!

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

Before I go I want to share another Elements of Style card.......

I just remembered that I totally forgot to show off my card from last weeks Queen for the Day #8 Challenge. I added it to my SCS Gallery, but not to my blog.....you can read all the info right HERE!!!

Have a fabulous weekend!!! I have to go to bed now, because my hubby has another fun *house project* set up for us in the morning....he wants us to cleaning all the windows ...yikes!!! All I can say is 74 days till he is going back to work.....LOL!!!!  Hugs ~S~

IC229 Happy Mother's Day and MTSC70 Friends

Happy weekend!!!

The weather is once again fabulous here in the South...(sorry for rubbing it in)!!! Mimi and I are getting our hair done today...did I mention Miriam gave herself a little haircut a few days back?!? Well it looks terrible...it's right on the side and I can no longer hide it.....so today she will get a *cool for the pool* haircut!!! It's the second time she has done that and I was a bit mad, because her hair finally started growing longer and now we have to cut at least 3 inches off...yikes!!! Oh well!!! If Mimi let's me I'll show you a photo of her this upcoming week.

I noticed a new Challenge over on SCS called *Queen for a Day* hosted by the fab Mrs. Ann Ryan.....and this week *Cathleen aka ctorina* is the lucky *Queen*!!!  I love Cathleen's cards...she has a very elegant style and of course I couldn't resist playing along. I chose this gorgeous card from her gallery.

I wasn't sure what colors I wanted to use on my card....until I saw the IC229 ~ Green Rainbow Challenge. I saw these super cute Eco-Paints and they reminded me of the SU In-Colors. Well, I really have not used them too often and before some of them retire I figured I better use them a few more times!!!

The flowers are from the SU Vintage Vogue Set. The DP is from the Razzleberry Lemonade Collection. I I used the Top Note Die for the center. The leaves were created with the Sizzix Little Leaves Die and at last I added the Silver Pearls.


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

Since I had everything out I created another card with the same Stamp Set, DP and changed the sentiment. I used the layout from the MTSC70 Sketch. I combined this card with the WT267 - Mixing Patterns and the TLC269 - Piercing.

The sentiment is from the Friends 24/7 Set. I added the piercing, the Silver Pearls and the Rich Razzleberry Ribbon. Hope you like it???

Here are few more challenges my cards fit to: 

ODBDSLC11  ~ Mother's Day

Have a wonderful weekend!!! Hugs ~S~

LSC218, WT216 Fresh Cuts

Happy TGIF guys!!!

Here is a card I whipped up quickly for the LSC218 - Border Crossing and the WT216 - using black on your card.

I was looking for an image that already has a border on it and I still had my SU Fresh Cuts on my table - I thought it's perfect for the Challenge!!! We got a bonus point *wink* if we use a flower image - so double points for me - LOL!!!

My card measures 5 1/2" x 5 1/2". I inked the image with Basic Black and then layered it randomly using Black and White CS. Each panel was raised with Stampin Dimensionals.

To dress it up I used a Styled Silver Label Holder tying it off with some Black Satin Ribbon.

Have a wonderful weekend and I hope to see you for the OCC Challenge tomorrow!!! ~TFL~

As most of you already know....the *There She Goes Challenge Theme* this month is to use *Stampin Dimensionals* and I sure used a lot of them!!!

I used the Mojo71 Sketch for my layout. The sentiment and the image were inked in Memento *Rich Cocoa*. Did you know that this is the best ink to stamp your images if you use Copic or Prisma Markers??? I learned this helpful hint from my buddy Denise - thanks GF!!!

To dress the card up a bit I embossed the Pink Pirouette CS with the CB folder *Heart Blocks*. The Ribbon is from SU - 5/8" Regal Rose and I added the fancy Styled Silver Ribbon Holder. At the end I added some Silver Brads.

Julie came up with a fun idea for the WT197 - last minute gift ideas - don't we all need them - LOL???

I made a card/gift card holder for my friend Sharon - that is always there when I need her!!! I've been putting it off and putting it off.....so finally I made a card and I hope she will like it?!?

The Stamp is from *There She Goes* called *Let's Get Together*. Perfect for all you coffee drinkers out there - LOL!!! For this card I used the Sketch from the Dirty Dozen Girls . (you can only view it if you are logged in on SCS!!!) My card measures 5" x 5". I used the Kiwi Kiss DP, Tangerine Tango, Chocolate Chip and Whisper White CS.

TSG Teabag Holder, WT195 &TLC156

Happy Thanksgiving everyone!!!

Hope you will enjoy yourselves with family and friends?!? We'll spent our day with my In-Law's and I'm so looking forward to it!!!

This is a perfect time to count my blessings - I have a wonderful family, we are healthy most of the time - LOL!!! We have a roof over our heads and we have Christ in our Life's - this is more than I can ask for!!!

There is one more thing.....I want to *thank you* all for stopping by my blog and for all the wonderful comments you left or will leave in the future!!! I'm so grateful for that!!!

My blog has become my *outlet* and I have grown so much as a stamper because of you all - I get inspired everyday by the SCS Challenges or even by individuals like in today's case by Kay Kalthoff - she has a fabulous gallery and a fun blog. I came across this fun little project Kay made not to long ago - isn't it cute??? Well - I loved it and had to create one for myself with this new Set from *There She Goes* called *Tea for Two*.

I used a regular 4 3/8" x 5 3/4" envelope for the base and punched the sides out with the large SU Tag Punch. The DP in the BG is *Windsor Knot*. I added a Chocolate Chip Scallop Edge on the top and bottom. Next I inked the Tea Pot with Timber Brown Stazon onto the *Windsor Knot* DP and I trimmed it. I placed a small Filgree Brad in the center and raised the image up with Stampin Dimensionals. The Whisper White Circle was cut out with a Nestie and then placed onto a punched out Scalloped Circle (Marvy Uchida). Again each layer was raised with Stampin Dimensionals. Before I added everything permanently I dressed the Teabag Holder up with the yummy-luscious Satin Chocolate Chip Ribbon.

Have a fun day and I'll see you later!!!~TFL~

Add on: I submitted this pouch for the WT195 and TLC156 Challenges on Dec 5th, 2008.

WT194 and *There She Goes* Challenge!!!

Happy Wednesday everyone!!!

I had some more trouble with our local networking last night.....Right as I was in the middle of posting this card they have turned off the internet connection without any warnings!!! How cruel is that - LOL???

Anyway - I made this card for the *There She Goes* Challenge last night - you can read about it right here . I also made this card for the Sneak Peek Preview that starts today - Jessica will release five new Set's!!! She will also show you each day a Sneak Peek!!!

This cute Set is called *Year Round Sentiments* - it's a Set of 21 stamps - how cool is that??? It's perfect for any occasion!!!

The layout for my card came from Julee Tillman's VSHR1 Sketch. The CS I used is - Pumpkin Pie, Chocolate Chip and Whisper White. First I inked the *Thanksgiving* Circle in Timber Brown Stazon. I punched the circles out with the 1 3/8", 1 1/2" and 1 3/4" Circle Punch. Then I stamped the leave in Pumpkin Pie and cut it out. I used a Chocolate Chip Marker to color the edges. I added some Medium Copper Brads (Michael's) and a Brown Satin Ribbon (Michael's). I raised the leave and the whole circle with Stampin Dimensionals.

Hope you have time to play along??? If you do please use TSG01 for the keyword over on SCS!!!! I'm off to do some shopping!!! ~TFL~

Add on: I submitted this card for the WT194!!!

LSC195, WT193 and SDDC2 Happy Thanksgiving

Happy TGIF!!! Hope you have great plans for the weekend???

My hubby is taking me out for a movie and dinner - oh yeahhh - looking forward to it!!!

We have some sweet friends that are willing to watch our three diva's.....they just love our girls to death!!! It's so cute - they cook for them and really make a big deal when the girls come over!!! Of course our girls love that too - LOL!!!

Anyway - we have some good challenges going on this week over on SCS. I missed the WT193 - adding Pearls yesterday and then I did a bit of blog hopping last night and saw this fun challenge over on the Stamper's Dream blog - SDDC2 - to create a *Fall* card with a view. So I tried to combine all of those in one LSC195 card....

I used the super fun *A Tree for All Seasons* (sorry I thought it was retired, but it's still on the Dormant List). I inked it in Timber Brown Stazon. Then I colored it with a Blender Pen using - Pumpkin Pie, Chocolate Chip and Old Olive Ink. My card measures 4 1/4" x 4 1/4".

The image itself was stamped on a 2 1/4" x 2 1/4" Very Vanilla CS. Next I used Chocolate Chip CS and started creating a hole with the 1 3/8" Circle Punch. Then I trimmed around it so I would have a 2 1/2" x 2 1/2" Square!!! Next I pierced around the CC CS. Before I layered it all together and added the Pumpkin Pie CS - I used Stampin Dimensional to raise each panel up. At the end I added the Chocolate Chip Satin Ribbon and the Gold Pearls (Michael's).

The sentiment is from the *Holidays & Wishes* Set and I also inked it in Timber Brown Stazon!!!

Have you seen my *Guessing Game* yet??? Since we are going out tonight.... I have to postpone the drawing of the Winner to tomorrow morning 10:oo am!!! Thanks for playing along - I have to giggle at all the answers - he,he,he!!!

WT192 Lord is my Shepherd

WOW - I can't believe that my Guest Designer time is almost up with *Our Daily Bread Designs* - I have so much fun stampin' with Kelley's gorgeous Set's!!!

Usually I don't get to stamp on Thursday's. I always have so much to do plus my husband is teaching that night....so my girls want all my attention!!! Well not today - LOL!!! I squeezed in this card for the WT192 using *Watercolor Paper* - it's nothing super fancy - I tried to keep it simple.

The base of my card is Very Vanilla. I added a Soft Sky panel and embossed it with the *Argyle* CB folder. The Set I used is called *Lord is my Shepherd* and I inked it in Timber Brown Stazon. Then I colored it with Old Olive, Sahara Sand, Soft Sky and Baja Breeze. The Watercolor Paper and the Chocolate Chip CS were both distressed and I pierced around the image. At the end I added the Copper Brads and raised the image with Stampin Dimensionals. The Bible Verse was also inked it TB Stazon.

Hope you like it??? ~TFL~

WT186, CC186 Butterfly Happiness

Happy day everyone!!!

I love Julia's WT186 Challenge - I have so many beautiful poems and sentiments I could show off, but today I used a new one from Jessica Knutsen *Butterfly Happiness* Collection.

If you are not familiar with Jessica's new line of Stamps - click here and take a look!!! She just had a new Release yesterday!!!

The layout I chose for my card is from Lynda Benden. Isn't she super talented??? I love her creations!!! Here is another card I made with this layout.

Anyway - I also used Jody's beautiful CC186 from Tuesday - Really Rust, Chocolate Chip and Baja Breeze!!! I added a panel of DP from Imaginisce - Wicked Whimsy.

I did a little *Faux Stitching* around the sentiment. I added the punched out butterfly from MS and some Silver Pearls.

Hope you like it ~TFL~!!!

WT181 Beautiful Flowers

Hey you all!!! Hope you are having a great week so far???

Today I made sure that I read the whole WT181 instructions before I got started... LOL - so I wouldn't mess up again....!!!

When I was a *Guest Architect* for *Innovative Stamp Creations* - Betsy Griffin the owner - was so generous to mail me a whole bunch of her gorgeous Stamp Sheets....and one of them is called *Beautiful Flowers* - I have not had a chance to use it unit I have seen today's
WT Challenge and I thought it would be perfect to color this particular image.

I've used the Watercolor Pencils from SU and added this *Color Float* (Delta) to shade and highlight my image. You can buy this product at Michael's.

My card measures 4" x 4". I used Whisper White as my card base. Then I added Basic Black plus Tangerine Tango CS.

The fun part is after I used the *Color Float* with the lighter Red from the Watercolor Pencil it's a perfect *Tangerine* match - wahhhhoooo!!! I also added some Dazzling Diamond Glitter in the center of the flowers. The gorgeous Brad is from *Anna Griffin* and the Black Satin Ribbon is from Walmart!!!

Hope you like it??? ~TFL~

Julia has designed this beautiful *Tree Stamp* called*Chirp* - it has a lot of beautiful extras....All the *new* Set's will be available August, 26th!!!

I have used the Sketch from Jen del Muro to create my card plus the wonderful WT180 Challenge -All Torn up!!!

I have started out with a Very Vanilla base and added a Chocolate Chip CS. On top of this CS I have added the SU retired DP *Outlaw*. Next I have pierced around the edges and did some *Faux Stitching*.

The main image was inked up with Sage Shadow, Chocolate Chip Ink and Markers. I have torn the Chocolate Chip CS to my liking before I have added the main image. The sentiment and the *Tree* image were raised with Stampin Dimensionals. Then I have added the Sage Shadow circle according to the Sketch and added some medium Copper Brads.

ISC11 Challenge plus WT179

Hello everyone!!!

I had to make a quick card for the WT179 - Crazy for Copics!!!!

I own a couple of them and just don't use them often enough....

This card was done very fast and I have used the Whisper White CS as my base. Then I have stamped the new *Serene Spring* Hostess Set II with Close to Cocoa Ink and colored it with the following Copics:
YG91 Putty, R29 Lipstick Red, Vo9 Violet, G94 Grayish Olive, B34 Manganese Blue, Colorless Blender Pen and a Prismacolor Marker PM65 Sienna Brown.
I have added the Barley Banana and Pretty in Pink Marker on the *Butterfly* - which was raised with Stampin Dimensionals.

When the image was all done I have layered it onto Riding Hood Red CS and tore the bottom of it.

Next I have inked the sentiment in Close to Cocoa. To jazz it all up I have bedazzled the *Butterfly* plus *Flowers* with Dazzling Diamond Glitter. I have added the beautiful Mellow Moss Taffeta Ribbon and some Gold Mini Brads.

Hope you like it???


Here is a project that was suggested by Kathy Tucker a Innovative Stamp Creations team member.

Hello again!!!

Remember I was telling you about my project that I was working on the other day.....???

For my creation I have used the SU *On Board 5"x 5" Art Journal*. I have covered the front page with a Whisper White CS and distressed it with Chocolate Chip Ink...I was still in the *getting dirty mood* from Laura's DD Challenge - LOL!!!

Next I have layered it with the stamped image using Tangerine Tango and Chocolate Chip CS. Then I have added the flowers - which I have embossed with Chocolate Chip Craft Ink and clear EP. The flowers were colored with a Blender Pen using - So Saffron, Wild Wasabi and Tangerine Tango Ink.

In the center of the flowers I have used some Silver Jumbo Eyelets and matching orange Gemstones. I will also submit this for the WT178.... The side of the Journal was dressed up with Ribbons. Hope you like it???

WT167 Father Knows Best!!!

Today's "Way to use it" Challenge is to create a masculine card. Perfect for Father's Day which is right around the corner....

I've caved again and bought this wonderful Papertrey Ink Set called *Father Knows Best*. I love the tree images and the sentiments that came with this set. If you don't know Papertrey Ink yet - click right here to check them out.

The card I have created was done with these colors - Marigold Morning, Chocolate Chip, Wild Wasabi and Whisper White CS.

The swirled tree top was inked with Wild Wasabi. The stem and sentiment were inked in Chocolate Chip.The circles were punched out with the 1 1/4" and 1 3/8" Punch from SU. The scalloped circle was cut with the Nestie. I have raised the sentiment with Stampin Dimensionals.

To finish the card off I have added the DS Wild Wasabi Ribbon and the Copper Brads from SU. Hope you like it???? ~TFL~

Today is my Rebecca's 7 th Birthday and we already had a little family "Birthday Bash" and I have given her the card that I have made - she said she loved it and she was so happy I have used her favorite color *PINK*!!! I just love that little stinker!!!

WT166 Thank you very much

What an interesting "Ways to use it challenge"....I have never heard of *inchies* - must be because I'm a foreigner - LOL!!!
Since I didn't have any I had to create my own....

My grey cells had to go in overdrive and I had to surge for a stamp set....and I didn't even had my second cup of Cappuchino yet - LOL!!!

So I finally found a set and this is what I did - I have used a wonderful set called "Spring Blooms" and it's from Impression Obsession. The images are small and I have created another card with this set that you can see here.

I have added some Silver Micro Brads in the center of each flower and underneath the sentiment from the retired "All Year Cheer II".

To give the card a little more punch I have added the wonderful new Real Red Striped Ribbon from SU. To balance the card I have added three more brads on the right hand side.

For the centerpiece I have cute the Real Red CS 2 3/4" x 2 3/4". The Whisper White layer is cut 2 1/2" x 2 1/2". The flower images and sentiment are 1" x 1" and the Real Red frame is 1 1/4" x 1 1/4".

Hope you like it??? ~TFL~

WT165 Flower Chipboards

Hello everyone!!!

Did you get your "CHIPBOARD'S" out yet????
Hope you'll have time to play in today's "Way's to use it" Challenge #165?!?

I have so many Chipboard's that it was really fun to use them again!!!

For this card I have used the "On Board Blooms & Basics" from Stampin Up.

I love to "bedazzle" mine with Glitter and in this case I have used the Martha Stewart "Tourmaline" color that matches the Purely Pomegranate and for the center I have used "Silver" with a clear Rhinestone Brad!!!

I like to ink my Chipboard's first with the color of the Glitter I'll be using...that way if something will wear off it's not as noticeable!!!

Hope you like the card??? ~TFL~

WT164 Big Gir'ls Birthday

Hi everone!!!

I'm so glad the "Way's to use it" Challenge is about "ruffles".....that gave me the wonderful idea to make a birthday card for my little daughter's friend who is turning 4 years next weekend.....

The only thing that I could think off was the super cute ruffled "Fairy Tale" Ribbon from SU. What a life saver - LOL!!!

Anyway - this little girl - her name is Anna - is a totally sweet girly girl and I thought I'd make her a pink girly girl card.....

I have used the Pretty in Pink DSP from the Hostess Pack and placed it have way on the Whisper White CS. Then I have added the cute ruffled Ribbon.

For the main image I have used this fun "Big Bold Birthday" Set that hasn't seen much Ink in a long time!!! The bottom of the cupcake was stamped in Regal Rose to make it stand out more and the top was stamped in Pretty in Pink. I have added the 3-D Liquid Applicator and filled it around the image. Then I used my Heating Tool to speed up the drying process..

To make the cupcake more fun I have added a "Build a Brad" from SU and added the little flower image that comes with this set. Of course I had to add a little "BLING" !!! The whole thing was place on a rectangle Pretty in Pink Nesti and I have also raised it with Stampin Dimensionals.

The sentiment was stamped in Basic Black and I have pierced right below it - voila - that's it!!!

Hope you like it??? ~TFL~

I'll post my Blog CANDY this afternoon!!! Make sure you'll stop by again......
