Elisabeth Bell's Kiki with Dolly... So Stinkin' CUUUUUTE!

 I LOVE this sweet Little Stamp! I am so happy that Sweet Pea now carries Elizabeth Bell... how darling !

My precious Ava had a little outfit like this when she was little...and this stamp just reminded me of her at that age! And yes... she was SASSY! I tried to make the flowers look like strawberry blossoms... and all the dots... well, they just make me happy!

I colored this image with distress inks and the skin was copic markers.

Paper Pretties Preview... Are Ya Ready For Some...

FOOTBALL??? How darling is this little foot ball guy? I love the stamps for boys... (now that I have one) and I just dont think that this guy could be any cuter! I colored him with copic markers and had so much fun doing it! I Really enjoyed the versatility of this stamp because it comes with many other sayings that are just perfect for boys of all ages! I adhered him to a cranberry panel after I cut him out and I thought that this football "star" would look awesome on some paper wmbossed with stars! Then I added the sentiment and detailed it with Viva Decor pens. Be sure to check out the Paper Pretties blog on Wednesday for a fun blog hop and lots more eye candy! Thanks for stopping in!

Hello everyone! I am here today as the guest designer for Paper Pretties! They have asked me to join their Design team for September and October as a guest and I am delighted! We have a sketch challenge over at Paper Pretties and here is the sketch... and here is my take on it...

Woodware Challenge... Anything Goes!

So... when a challenge reads "anything goes" I tend to step outside of the box and let the creativity go. SOOO, that being said... I got out the Woodware Peel Off stickers and the Pearl Ex and this is what happened. I stuck the stickers onto the cardstock and then I got my Versamarker out. I colored in the empty spaces with it and then I rubbed Pearl Ex into the when I removed the stickers, this is what I was left with. I added the Merry Christmas in the corner and tied the organza ribbon. So no real stamping at all... but I did use stamping supplies... cuz ANYTHING GOES! please remember to play along with us this week and you can be entered into a drawing to win a great monthly prize! Check out the details here...

This is my take on the Challenge over at Woodware USA. This is a 3-2-1- challenge and that means that you will use 3 different papers,2 embellishments and one image! So here is my take on this using this precious dog set. I colored it with copic markers and then i used the bow and the hearts for the embellies and the

3 papers are the brown, the red and the argyle! I hope that you will play along with us this week at Woodware USA and we look forward to seeing what you will create!
