TIOT: Spring Gift

Welcome to this week's SCACD Try It Out Tuesday challenge (on Thursday)! To change things up a bit the design team has split the week up with half of us posting on Tuesday and the other half on Thursday. This week our challenge was to make a Mother's Day or Spring Gift!

You all know that I'm not very good with non-card items. I took the cheaters way out with this week's challenge by making a gift tag for some Mother's Day flowers...it's still a gift, right? LOL!




For my card, I used the new Elisabeth Bell stamp "All Grown Up". Isn't she just adorable! I am completely in love with this entire collection. All of the stamps are INCREDIBLE!!! The Elisabeth Bell images are available to purchase individually or you can purchase the entire collection for an incredible discounted price! I stamped "All Grown Up" with Momento Tuxedo Tuxedo Black ink and colored her with Copic markers.

Susana has added TONS of fabulous new products to her store...including Our Craft Lounge Stamps, Zva Creative, Copic Multiliners, Kraftin Kimmie stamps, Pink Paislee and lots more! Also, if you been dying to try the new Viva Decor pens... Susana has tons in stock including the Viva glitter holographic liner pens! She also has links to some fabulous tutorials for the Viva Decor pens right in the store listings!

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

Paper Pretties Wednesday Challenge and Blog Hop!

It's Wednesday! That means it is time for another fun Wednesday Prettie Challenge and blog hop! This week our challenge comes from Prettie Girl Wendy! Wendy challenged everyone to make a card using earth element colors along with a neutral white or vanilla.

This week the design team will be using either the set Look Who's Perky or Happily Ever After. These are both super cute sets and both stamp sets featured this week will be on sale for 35% off all week. Also be sure to check out the new digi stamp section of the boutique, Christie is adding new digis all the time (there are several adorable Sophia and Cooper digi stamps)!

I didn't use either of this week's featured sets for my card. Somehow I got my weeks messed up or something because I didn't realize I used the wrong set until about 2 minutes ago when I was typing up the last paragraph. Oops! Anyway...I still have a card to share though.

I also made my card for the Cupcake Crafts Challenge. The challenge this week is to use more than 1 button on your card.

If you are just starting at my blog, head on over to Christie's blog to start the blog hop from the beginning. You definitely won't want to miss any of the stops! If you are following the hop, the next stop after my blog is the blog of Prettie Girl Wendy!

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

Jacksonbelle Tuesday Challenge: CAS

Welcome to this week's Jacksonbelle Tuesday challenge! Our challenge this week is to make a CAS card! We'd love for you to play along! If you do be sure to let us know...leave a comment with a link to your project on the challenge post on the JB blog!

I love CAS cards but I have a really hard time making them. I'm just not a CAS girl, LOL.
For my card I used some gorgeous Pink Paislee designer paper, some Prima flowers, some Zva Creative roses and some Shimmerz Blingz...all from Jacksonbelle. My sentiment stamp is from Unity Stamps.


My layout comes from the current Clean and Simple Stamping sketch challenge:

One random commenter will win a $15 Gift Certificate to the Little Paper Shop store for leaving a comment on all the DT member’s blogs in today's blog hop. Your comment needs to be posted no later than 9:00pm EST tonight.

Since it is Monday we also have our Monday challenge for you. This week it is a color challenge.

Ok, I know what you are thinking...where is her raspberry. Well the thing is, when I started my card I picked out some dp that had blue, green and raspberry in it. As I worked on my card I changed some things around and picked a different paper. When I finished my card I was happy until I realized I had picked the other paper for a reason...the raspberry colored dots. Opps. No going back when you use Mono Multi glue, LOL. So you just have to pretend that you see some raspberry somewhere on my card, LMBO!
The next stop in the blog hop is the blog of the fabulous Ann Kranitz! I hope you all have a terrific day! Thanks for stopping by!
