Little Paper Shop sketch challenge

I found some time today to play along with another great sketch challenge! The Little Paper Shop blog has an awesome sketch challenge going on right now. Check out their blog for all the details!

Here is their sketch:

Unfortunately I don't have any Little Paper Shop stamps to use for the sketch but I thought I would play along anyway. For my card I FINALLY used one of my Whiff of Joy stamps. I have loved this image since it was released. I bought it the day it was available but I have never used it until today. I'm still working on my coloring technique. I'm really starting to like my Prismacolor markers!Supplies used: Main image from Whiff of Joy, Sentiment stamp from SU, Basic Grey DP, SU CS, Cuttlebug embossing folder, misc ribbon, foam dimensionals, Prismacolor markers, Kaiser self adhesive pearls.

I hope you are all having a terrific week! Thanks for stopping by today!

TGIF!

I am so glad it is Friday, but not for the usual reasons...I am sick. I have one of the worst colds of my life. I'm hoping that I can sleep every minute of the entire weekend (although I'm sure the chances are slim). Right now I feel like my entire head is going to explode, but of coarse a mom doesn't get sick days so I'll have to endure.
Here is a card I made yesterday after my day from hell babysitting. I used the SCS sketch challenge #172. Riley Moose from Hanna Stamps is another image I got in wishRAK. I don't think I've used one of my own stamps except for sentiments all week long.
The sentiment is from the retired SU! set Espress Yourself. Colors are Basic black and So Saffron. All Paper is SU!. The image is colored in with Prismacolor markers and the black gems are something I got on clearance at Target a while back. Also, if you haven't noticed yet, I didn't add gliter anywhere...*gasp*.
Not sure how much creating I will do today or tomorrow or Sunday. It all depends on how fast I can kick this cold in the butt! I hope you all have a wonderful weekend!

Another CASE of The Kub

I got a few minutes of stamping time this afternoon and thought I would share the card I made. Once again this card was inspired by Kurtis (Stampin' Kub). If you haven't checked out his blog and/or gallery I highly recommend it! His cards are phenomenal! I used the same card to case as I did with my monster card last week. Here is a link to his card if you missed it in my other post. Tom is always telling me that I add too much to my cards so I knew he would like this one (he did). I got the tulip stamp in a bag of stamps at a garage sale last weekend, it is from Hero Arts. I just LOVE it! It is colored with prismacolor markers with just a touch of, you guessed it, GLITTER! The background is Weathered from SU! and the sentiment is from PTI's Birthday Basics. The baubles are some of the Bella Baubles that Jen gifted to me. They are great, but the cheaper ones from Michael's work just as well (speaking of that I saw that Michael's now carries them in a sunflower yellow color, I may have to pick up a bag). The card base is SU! Sahara Sand and the layered pieces are SU! Real Red and GP white. This was a nice change from the BUSY cards I've been making lately and I really liked how it turned out. I hope you all had a wonderful day. Thanks for stopping by.
