I have been having so much fun playing with my new Sophia stamps that I made 2 cards for today's challenge. This first card uses the adorable Make A Wish Sophia. This image just screams GLITTER to me. I love adding lots of sparkle to this sweet little thing! She reminds me of my own little cutie!
The weather here has been in full Fall mode for a couple of weeks now. Our tree is turning colors and it is only a matter of time before we have to start raking. With all of the fall festivities going on I couldn't resist inking up Falling For You Sophia for my 2nd card. I absolutely adore this image. Isn't she adorable! I'm the last stop on this week's hop. If you are just starting at my blog, head on over to Christie's blog to start from the beginning. You definitely won't want to miss any of the stops!

Thanks for stopping by today! I hope you all have a terrific day!

SCACD WCMD challenge

I hope you all had a great weekend. Did you get lots of stamping done on WCMD? Unfortunately we spent most of WCMD dealing with doctors and dentists. Beckett woke up Saturday morning with half of his face completely swollen. Unfortunately a couple weeks ago when he hit his chin at the hotel, he not only cut his chin open but he cracked a tooth. Ever since the accident his tooth can been bothering him but we just thought his jaw was sore from the fall. Unfortunately for 2 weeks the cracked tooth just got infected. Saturday afternoon after a trip to the urgent care and then to the emergency dentist he had to go through a very traumatic tooth extraction.
Here is a picture of him and his poor swollen face:
Thankfully the antibiotics and pain killers have helped out a lot. He seems to be doing a lot better today. He still looks awful but the swelling should start going down soon.
So with all of that craziness yesterday, my WCMD stamping had to be postponed until today.
I got a little bit of time to stamp this afternoon so I decided to play along with the challenge posted over on the SCACD blog. They had a fun 2 part challenge...sketch & color. The color requirement was to use Christmas colors: red, green, gold, silver, white.

Here is their sketch:
I flipped the sketch to work with my image. I used this adorable Victoria Case image "Matthew" from SCACD. Isn't he so cute...totally reminds me of Beckett. (Sorry for the wonky lighting - I just finished my card at 7pm and the natural light is zero. I'll try and take a better photo in the morning)
Check out the resemblance between the card and the picture of Beckett...the fact that he is wearing a red shirt with a green dino is a total coincidence.

Thanks for stopping by today! I hope you all had a great weekend!

This is my 2nd post of the day. To see my Little Paper Shop Release Day post, please scroll down to preview post.

Welcome to Paper Pretties' festivities for World Card Making Day! Not sure if you all noticed my side bar but as of Thursday I am officially a Prettie Girl! I was so excited when Christie asked me to join the Pretties team! I adore all of the Paper Pretties images and can't wait to start sharing more projects with you.
To celebrate World Card Making Day, Paper Pretties is hosting 3 fabulous challenges throughout the day: 1 in the morning, 1 in the afternoon and 1 in the evening. Be sure to check the Paper Clip for all of today's challenges. You can pick 1 to do (or all 3 if you like ). On October 5th at 11:00 pm Christie will draw a winner from all of the entries in the Paper Pretties Challenge Gallery in the Paper Pretties Forum (please use keyword WCMD when you upload your card) to receive the newly released set Season of Joy. That means you'll have all weekend to work on your challenge card. You can use any products you like, but the main image must be one from Paper Pretties. The winner will be posted on the Paper Clip on the 6th!

Also, don't forget that ALL day today you can get 15% off your entire Paper Pretties order - even clearance merchandise! Just enter the coupon code wcmd (case sensitive, no spaces) when you check out! With the whole store on sale, it is a great time to stock up on all of those Sophia and Cooper stamps I know you've be wanting!

CHALLENGE #1

The first challenge was given by our incredibly talented design team member Jana. Jana's challenge is to make a project using the following colors: Light Pink, Medium Pink, Taupe, Black and White.

I just got Make A Wish Sophia in the mail a few days ago and I couldn't wait to get her inked up. Isn't she just adorable.
If you are wondering where my taupe is...I colored the table with a taupe-ish color Copic, LOL.

For more color inspiration check out the blogs of my fellow Prettie Girls Jana Weaver and Christi Thorsen

Be sure to check the Paper Clip throughout the day for challenges #2 and #3.

Thanks for stopping by today. I hope you all have a fabulous World Card Making Day!
