Paper Pretties Blog Hop...Inspiration: Halloween!!!

Welcome to the blog hop! If you came here from Amber's Blog... you are in the right place... if not... please start at the Paper Pretties blog so you wont miss anything.

This is a darling new stamp from Paper Pretties... I love getting boy stamps because I have the most precious little boy and I forget how darling boy stamps can be. I colored this little guy with copic markers and I added him to this piece of patterned paper that reminded me of school doodles. I added glittery star punches and here is my creation! It was hard for me to do Halloween with this guy... but I Imagined it being my sweet little guy dressed as a basket ball player!LOL how is that for using your noodle? The next stop on the hop is Jennifer ... thanks for stopping in!!!

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!

Happy Birthday Simply Betty!

I have been a fan of this company since the beginning... I love their stamps and I bought these a LONG time ago and I whipped one out to help them celebrate their birthday.I colored Rio with copics and I used a die cut for the gigantic cupcake. I added the pearls with Viva Decor and glittery icing and of course... a cherry on top! So happy birthday Simply Betty ... and many MOOOOOORRRRREEEEEEE!

Nothing Like a Pig in a Tutu to Get a Party Started!

I love this stamp from Art Impressions! I colored her with Derwent Inktense water color pencils and then added the trim and such! I of course used Viva Decor for the pearls in the corners. I will never buy sticky pearls again with all of the choices available from Viva Decor! I AM LOVING THESE!

I had this image colored for a while and then I finally decided to make it into a card and i am so glad that I did! i had a blast using all of my copics to deck her out and then i used glitter and ribbon and punched and here she is!
