Blogger's challenge 64-designer paper



Here is my 1st card for the Bloggers challenge group. This weeks challenge was to make a card using designer paper. It couldn't have been a easier challenge for me seeing I am a complete pattern paper addict. I am dead serious when I say, I have so much pattern paper, that I no longer have a clue as to what I actually have.
This card was inspired by Jeannie Streiff from Lizzie Anne designs. Which recently has become one of my favorite companies. Well, Here is to my 1st bloggers challenge. I am looking forward to playing some more. Have a great Friday.

Stamps: Lizzie Anne Designs
Paper: My minds Eye
Cardstock: SU
Ink: Memento, watercolor crayons, rangers distress
Misc: Baubles colored with brown copic, copper brad.

CHECK THESE OUT!














I was browsing around some blogs and I came across a post about Starving Artistamps. I have heard of them, but have never "really" looked at them. They are so cute, and now they are releasing their New Halloween stamps. So Cute. They are giving away some of their new stamp sets. All you have to do is leave a message on their blog and spread the word. Now, go on over to their blog and leave a comments for some blog candy and let me know what you think. I think I may have to make a purchase (that's a shocker).

If the broom fits fly it!


How funny is this saying? I made this card for a paper challenge for SGGW. I am so ooo into Halloween. If you have ever came to my house on Halloween, you would think we're a bunch of freaks. My hubby has the place decked out to the hilt. We wait all year for halloween. It is one of the best "holidays" of the year. What is better than Candy and dressing up?
Anyways, I my friend Kerry DC stamped me a few images of her new witch stamp, and she just happens to be my partner for the challenge, so I wanted to show her what I could do with her stamp, but also I wanted to say "me too". I kinda impressed myself with the moon. I traced a circle, and then colored in. Hehehe proud! Well, I hope she likes it. It was a fun stamp to work with.
Material used:
stamps:whipper snapper
Paper: SU cardstock, and dp by pebbles
ink:watercolor crayons
misc: brads

Hqppy Birthday Little Dude








Happy Birthday little Dude. I think that saying is so cute. I made this card for a secret image challenge for SGGW. These monkeys keep coming to haunt me. This is the second Chanhito monkey stamp I have received for a secret Image challenge. These images are definaetly a challenge for me.


Ont his card I used my copics, and for the first time I used these little baubles. I think they are put out by robins nest. Kerry DC was telling me that I could color them any color with the copics, so I did. I used a Blue copic and colored them. It is a messy event. If anyone has a better way to do this PLMK. Well, what do you think of this card?

Supplies used:
Ink:copics, white pen, memento
Cardstock: SU
pattern paper:
Stamps: Changito Monkey, and sentiment by Amuse
Misc: punches, cuttlebug embossing folders, baubles

I used my new favorite Lizzie Anne Design stamp. I also used my NEW copic markers. That's right, I jump on the copic band wagon. Up until today, I was not enjoying them. Today I sat and played with them. I mixed colors, and today I like them.
