Little Paper Shop Monday Challenge!

I hope you all have a fabulous weekend! I managed to get a little rest and a lot of cleaning done around the house, so overall I'm pretty happy with the weekend! I also managed to get 3 cards done too, woohoo! One of those cards was for today...yikes! I usually try to have my design team projects done at least 2-3 weeks ahead of deadline but lately I've been a bit behind. It is seriously not like me to be working on a card 2 days before I need to have it done. Behind or not, I still got it done and I'm excited to share it with you.
It is Monday so that means it is time for another fun Little Paper Shop challenge. This week our challenge is a sketch courtesy of the talented Allison Fillo. We would love for you to play along with us. A random participant in this week's challenge will win the new Christmas set {Merry & Bright}. If you play along be sure to leave a link to your project on the challenge post on the LPS blog!
Here is the sketch:

For my card I used one of my favorite LPS stamp sets {Beautiful Things}. This set has a bunch of fun 2-step flowers as well as a bunch of GORGEOUS sentiments!
For more sketchy inspiration be sure to check out the blogs of the rest of the fabulous Little Paper Shop design team!

Thanks for stopping by today! Check back later this morning for the winner of my Little Paper Shop blog candy!

It is time for some blog candy!

Hope everyone is having a great week. Beckett is recovering well from his tooth infection and I have actually managed to get a little bit of sleep this week, YAY!!!
Today I wanted to share another Halloween card I made with the new {Jena Witch} stamp set from Little Paper Shop. I just adore this little cutie. She is so fun to color. And for some reason I just can't help but add some glitter to her.


It has been a while since I gave away some blog candy so I put together a fun little package of goodies for one lucky blog reader. I will leave my blog candy open until Monday Oct 12th at 7 am CST. There are a few ways to get your name entered into the drawing:
#1. Just leave me a comment telling with favorite color combo - there is entry #1.
#2. If you are a follower of my blog, leave me a comment on this post telling me so and there is entry #2.
#3. Join the Little Paper Shop Forum and add me as a friend - there is entry #3
#4. Make a card with one of the FREE digi stamps found on the LPS forum and leave me a link to your card - this is entry #4

So there you go, there are 4 ways to get your name added to the drawing. Now, I suppose you want to see the blog candy. The blog candy consists of 2 super fun stamp sets from Little Paper Shop as well as 3 Studio G sets and some Making Memories Crystal brads.

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!

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!

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!

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

Lady Liberty

Today I thought I would share another card that I made for last week's Paper Pretties fun foam blog challenge. I have to say I'm not a huge fan of fun foam but it was fun playing around with it. This time around I "borrowed" some squiggle fun foam pieces from Annabelle's fun foam gingerbread man kit. I thought they were too plain as white so I added some Stampin Up Dazzling Diamonds to jazz them up a bit. The main image and sentiment are from the Lady Liberty set from Paper Pretties. Lady Liberty Sophia is colored with Copic markers.

Little Paper Shop Monday Challenge (and a preview)!

I hope you all had a great weekend. Thankfully I was able to get in a teeny tiny bit of R&R over the weekend. Probably not as much as I needed, but enough to keep me going for a few more days. Tom is starting to feel better. I think he is actually planning on heading back to work today for the first time in a week. This is a good thing... I really need him to go back. Not because I don't want him here, but honestly I need our life to get back to normal.
And speaking of getting back to normal, I did get a little bit of stamping time this past week. Good thing, since today is the first preview day of the October Little Paper Shop release.

The October Little Paper Shop releases are AWESOME. Actually AWESOME is an understatement. I absolute love every single one of them! Are you ready to get working on your Christmas cards? If so, this is the release for you! The new release sets will be available to purchase on Saturday Oct 3rd.
Today the design team is giving you a fabulous sneak peak at the first of 4 new sets...{Katie Caroler}. This set is totally adorable and so fun to create with!
Not only is today preview day #1, but it is also challenge day. We have a super fun sketch for you this week. We'd love for you to play along too. If you do, be sure to leave a link to your creation on the LPS blog. One lucky challenge participant this week will will {Katie Caroler). You also have a 2nd chance to win {Katie Caroler} just by leaving a comment on the LPS blog today!

Here is the sketch:

Here is my card:

This sketch was so much fun that I made a 2nd card with it. My 2nd card uses the recently released {Jena Witch} set. I just think she is the cutest witch EVER!

Is it the weekend yet?

Man do I need some down time. The weekend can't get here soon enough. With Tom sick not only am I doing all of my normal duties but I'm also trying to do his. He normally takes Annabelle to school which doesn't seem like a huge thing but trying to get her up and dressed and breakfast is hard enough, but then I have to get myself together and get her to school. Not to mention trying to deal with getting Beckett up and to school too. Thankfully today he can stay in bed while I take her since he doesn't have school today. I've also been sleeping on the floor in the kids' bedroom the past few nights in an effort to stay away from Tom (who the doctors said most likely has H1N1). My back is killing me and I am dead exhausted.
Ok, enough of my pity party...

Here is another card that I made for the Taylored Expressions Birthday Bash a couple weeks ago. The main image is from Wiff of Joy and the sentiment is from Verve.
Thanks for stopping by today! I hope you all have a great day!

It's Wednesday...

Boring blog post title, but I couldn't think of anything else. The kids are at school and Tom is in bed with what we think is the flu. Crossing our fingers that it isn't H1N1, but either way he is totally miserable. I'm being sort of psycho about quarantining him because I really don't want the kids to get sick. I spent the morning shopping in an effort to stay as far away from him as possible. I went to Joann's and picked up a few things and then headed to our local scrapbook store. I'm hoping to play with my new goodies this afternoon, but we'll see how things go. I may be taking Tom to the doctors office, who knows. For now, I thought I would share a card that I made using one of the Victoria Case images from SCACD. I absolutely love this image and had so much fun paper piecing her. The sentiment stamp is from Verve.

Thanks for stopping by today! Don't forget about the Jacksonbelle September Challenge contest going on right now. You could win a $50 JB gift certificate. Check out all the details by clicking on the JB contest blinkie on my side bar.

It's a 2 post kind of day...

If you want to see my Little Paper Shop Monday challenge post, please scroll down to previous post.

Since I took such a long break from blogging over the weekend I thought I would share another card today. When I got home yesterday I needed to unwind from the chaotic weekend so I decided to stamp for a bit. I decided to combine a couple challenges from last week for my card. Danni's Flutter By challenge last week was to make a card with butterflies and sparkle...the Paper Pretties challenge was to make a card using fun foam. So... I combined them both and made a card using sparkly fun foam butterflies, LOL.
Isn't Flutter By Sophia adorable! I just love all of the Sophia stamps from Paper Pretties. I paired her up with this gorgeous Jenni Bowlin designer paper that I got from Jacksonbelle. Jacksonbelle has 8 different Jenni Bowlin collections in stock. The glittered fun foam butterflies are from Making Memories.

Thanks for stopping by today. I hope you are all having a great day! Check back tomorrow for the newest Jacksonbelle Tuesday challenge!

Little Paper Shop Monday Challenge

I'm back! I know it has been a few days since I last posted but I'm back now! We left on Thursday morning for Minneapolis so I could take the Copic certification class. I can now say that I am certified! The class was a lot of fun and it was even better because I got to take it with my friend Kisa. It was so fun meeting her and hanging out for the afternoon. The rest of the weekend was filled with lots of other fun activities...Scrapfest, Annabelle's birthday, an afternoon at the amusement park at Mall of America, a visit to Underwater Adventure aquarium...lots of stuff. Unfortunately in amongst the fun we also had to make a trip to an urgent care clinic at 7:30 Friday night due to a mishap at the hotel pool. Thankfully they were able to super glue Becketts chin instead of stitches! Needless to say it was a busy, EXHAUSTING weekend. I am happy to be home and sleeping in my own bed!
With all that said...it is time for another fabulous Little Paper Shop Monday challenge! Before I get to the challenge part, I want to wish my fellow LPS design team member Bonnie a HAPPY HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!! Be sure to stop by Bonnie's blog and give her some love today!
Now...the challenge...today we have a fun color challenge for you....Rose Red, Summer Sun and Pumpkin Pie. One random lucky participant this week will win one of the newly released sets {Jena Witch}. If you play along be sure to leave a link to your project on the LPS blog to be eligible to win. If you upload to SCS or PCP please use keyword LPSC34.

Here is my card for this week:

Paper Pretties Inspiration Challenge

Last week the Paper Pretties blog posted an inspiration challenge. I am not usually very good at these types of challenges but I thought I would give it a try.

Here is the inspiration piece:

It took me a while to decide what elements to use for my card...I wasn't sure if I wanted to go with a southwest theme or a quilt theme, but in the end I just went with the sure and safe color challenge. I picked teal, ruby and yellow out of the comforter as my color challenge.
Here is my card:
I was really happy with how this turned out. Sophia always puts a smile on my face! I used some new Jenni Bowlin designer paper that I got from Jacksonbelle Embellishments. The colors coordinated great with my cardstock. The border punch is from the Martha Stewart collection. The Sophia image is from Paper Pretties and the sentiment is from DRS Designs.

I hope you are all having a great week. I am leaving bright and early tomorrow morning to head to Minneapolis to meet up with Kisa and take the Copic certification class. I am SOOOOO excited. Then Friday is Scrapfest at Mall of America! Talk about all around fun! Saturday is Annabelle's birthday so we are going to do some family stuff around Minneapolis and then Sunday the long drive home. I won't have much time for internet or email so please don't think I'm ignoring you if I don't answer emails or visit your blogs until Sunday.
I hope you all have a wonderful weekend!!
