Monster Tea Party

If I was going to fall in love with a Monster, this would be the one. I think he is so sweet! This is Monsters Tea Party from Victoria Case Art Designs. These Monsters are so cute. I colored this with my Prisma's and googone. Mounted it on Bazzill shiny cardstock I got from Loreen. I used my paper shaper swirl punch also from Loreen. I had these cute little flower rhinestones for the tip of the swirl. DP is from my stash, flowers are Prima's, also from my stash. The metal heart I bought last year on clearance and ribbon from... where else? JoAnns $ bin.
I just love this "MONSTER"!

Holly in the Garden

She is so cute and so fun to color! I colored her with my copics. DP and ribbon are all from my stash! This is a good spring card for anyone that has the winter blahs!
Thanks for stopping!

Angel on the Moon

Well I didn't make one card last week! Then yesterday in the mail came Angel on the Moon by Victoria Case Art Stamps.
When I first saw this design I knew I loved it. After a couple of MONSTERS from Victoria, this was the next on my list. That moon is to die for! Look at that face! Who wouldn't want to take a nap right there? I used my Prisma's to color and cs was from my bits and left overs! I used my paper shaper swirl punch for the two corners and I dug out my sequins for the corners. Sequins DO NOT stick with glue dots nor glue, so I had to use, SHOE GOO! Talk about stinky stuff! And I really don't think it is archival safe! But they stuck! I used little blue rhinestones in the center of each sequin and my ribbon is from JoAnns' $ bin.
Thanks for stopping by!

Nuther Pollycrafts

I don't remember when I had such a hard time putting a card together. I think I need to quit for awhile and regroup! This is another great digi image from Pollycrafts. Colored with copics! I had this DP in my paper drawer and finally found it. I knew it was in there! I cut some pink tulling for this. I have a whole roll I bought when for my daughters babyshower when I made a diaper cake. Well I have more than the whole roll left! I used my Paper Shapers Swril punch and DewDrops. I tore the paper! Yes I did! That is why the ribbon is on the bottom, to cover up the tear! I had to put dewdrops there to cover it up even more! Its crooked and wrinkled! So on that note....I am taking some time off from card making! Think I will crochet! LOL
Hope everyone is having a great week!!
C-ya later!

PollyCraft

While crusin the stamp world I found these great digi images from PollyCraft. These are new digi images from the Promise Collection. I colored this with copics. I struggle with my copics! Maybe because I don't have colors from the same family! Anyway, I think it turned out pretty cute! The paper is from my stash of "left overs" and flower are Prima's and I used DewDrops in the corners and flower centers. I love the softness of this card!
Have a great week!

Valentine

I recieved this image from a friend of mine, THANK YOU!! She knew I didn't have any Valentine Tilda's! I colord her with my Prisma's and googone. My heart and sentiment are from Darcy's and are OLD! I used my cuttlebug and heart folder for the background and my new paper shapers swirl punch from EKSuccess that was a gift from Loreen!
Thanks for stopping by!

All Dressed Up

I love digi images! I like it cuz you can have it right now, while your waiting maybe for the letter carrier? I found this cute image at SquiggleFly. Talk about fun to color! I made this one into a Valentine card. I used my Prisma's and googone to color her. The flower in her hat, pearls and earrings I colored with my Glaze pens. The "frame" is the pocket border from a stamp I got at a rummage sale! I figured out who those are by also, Darcy's. The whole lot I bought were from Darcy's and they are sooo cute. They are old! I colored the pocket lace with my Prisma's and cut out all FOUR of them! Framed the image. I used another old stamp for the background, by Impress.
I used my nifty swirl punch that was a gift from Loreen at Wish on a Scrap, I so love that punch! I couldn't find any cs that would match my pinks so I punched out the swirls on white cs and colored them. I have these great pink "diamonds" from Me and My Big Idea's.
She is really pink, but I love her! Everytime I make something pink, I think of Kim and Loreen. They're my pink girls!

Tilda

A couple of weeks ago, I challenged the Magnolia-licious group to make a Valentine Card, using a NON-Valentine image. I made a couple of them, only because I have no Valentine Tilda's. Its amazing what you can do with a stmap and make it into what you want. Imagination! This is Windy Tild, I think that's what she is called. Anyway, I just covered up the autumn leaves with hearts, added a few extra. I used my EKSuccess heart punch for the little hearts, and ran some Stickles over them to glitter. Everything else was in my stash, and as usual, used my prisma's and googone! Gotta love that googone! LOL
Hope everyone is having a great weekend!

Valentine.....

I used my Sweet Love set by Papertrey Ink. I love the simplicity of this set. Basically it's the same card except for different DP I used and changing ink colors around. I used my nesties on the ovals. Ran ribbon through a round punch hole and voila, simple as they come, but I just love these.
Hope everyone has a great weekend!

PuppyCakes Bag

I bought these little bags at the $ store awhile back and have only used two of them. We have a neighbor that is less fortunate than most of us, but he has his faithful companion Star. Stars birthday is coming up and I thought maybe she deserved a present. This is Puppy Cakes by Victoria Case Art Designs, one of her great digi images. I colored Star up with my prisma's and googone, dp was in my stash. I used my SP to scor my edges and double sided tape to adhere to the bag. I have a sizzix die of puppy feet that I didn't even remember I had. Two little rhinestone brads at the base of the handle, and Star has her own little bag!
What is going in the bag?? A little doggie magnet, a coupon for $ off a box of treats and of course a few treats for right now. She'll be happy!

Tilda and Edwin

I posted a challenge on the mags group to make a Valentine, using a NON-Valentine Mag image. This is what I came up with. This was fun. These are two of my favorite stamps and two of the first ones I bought. I cut my heart out on my cricut and used my edging scissors to cut the heart in 1/2. Then I used DMC and sewed the heart back together. I put Tilda and Edwin sitting on bandaides. Used my EKSuccess corner punch for the two corners. Big eyelets for the two corners running ribbon through each eyelet. The card still looked blah to me, so I added the little white dots. Tilda and Edwin were colored with my Prisma's and googone. Cardstock is from my stash of pieces.

Cross stitch Tilda

I colored this little cutie a long time ago and had it in my stash of colored images. I finally put it together. Very simple card. The sentiment is from StudioG. I used one of my other corner punches from EKSucces that I got from Loreen at Wish on a Scrap. These punches are so fun! Colored with my Prisma's and googone and used my nesties on the cutout.

MonsterHugs

Isn't he just the cutest! This is from Victoria Case Stamps.
I LOVE these Monster Rubber stamps she has! They are sooooo fun! My grandkids are going to love these! I colored the image with my Prisma's and googone. I also added some beads to the background cutout. I used my nesties, fiskars treading water border punch, Prima's and the heart I had in my stash, just inked it up with my SU Pixie Pink.

Tilda's Cookies

This is the first time I've colored a Tilda with the cookies. She is so sweet. I used my Prisma's and googone, I used the fiskars punch for the slot punches and my EKSuccess punch for the hearts in the corner. The dp I had in my stash, it was bought at Michaels in their clearance section last year. Flowers are from my stash of flowers! and dew drops for the centers.
Thanks for stopping by and hope everyone has a great weekend

Approaching Wedding

I don't know how many of you remember, but I was doing STD's for my daughters upcoming wedding. Well I'm happy to say, they are in the mail! We have a little less than 6 months before her big day! I've been cutting paper for the last two days, getting the Wedding Invites ready to put together. She wanted them very simple. When I made the STD's I made several different layouts for her to see. STD's and Invites. She picked the one she wants and it was a go. Also I am making RSVP's to put on the inside. I'm waiting on some Vellum for the insert, I will print off the Union on the vellum. I have cut,scored,embossed,punched and nestie'd!
Here are the STD's that are in the mail, and one of the 3 Invites that are completely finished!
Hope everyone is having a great week.

Victoria has new digi designs out!! She put her new ones up yesterday on the site. Click on her name and it will direct you to her store! This cute little guy is called PuppyCakes. Colored up with my Prisma's and googone. My good friend gave me a gift of images from DottiesWorld. I love these images and of course, you can't buy them in the US! I check at least once a week to see if they have changed their minds yet! LOL I love the Pooch Parlor! The little doggie feet I've had in my stash forever. I bought the feet and a cocker spaniel images long ago and can't remember who they are by. The Happy Birthday and two little cupcakes in the window are from StudioG. Ribbon is from my stash!

I was playing with my Hanglars and colored this image a couple of days ago. I had that great dp out and continued to make this one! This is so simple for me. I kept looking at it, laying different bling on it, and decided I really liked it better much more plain.
Have a great weekend!

LuvBirds

Another fun image by Victoria Case Art Design.
This is another digi image that I feel in love with! I colored the image with my prisma's. I made it into a pocket card. Used my SU scalloped border punch, stitched around the pocket. I had some white tags in my stash and covered them with dp, tied the ribbon added a flower with brad to each tag. The sayings on the tags, that you can't see are from a set from Uptown Rubber Stamps, Boyds Bears that I have had for years! One saying is "Love Conquers All" and the other "Love 50c" and "Kisses 5c".
The heart in the background with the bow is a Hanglar. I think these little Luv Birds are just toooo cute! I'm not sure who the paper is by, but I dug deep and found it and LOVE IT! Should of bought more!
Thanks for stopping by!

So playing today with my new digi stamp, Bubbly Fun. I colored the image with my prisma's. The circle and corners were punched using my EKSuccess punch that I got from Loreen at Wish on a Scrap. I used my cricut to cut out the heart. I have my Marvy heart punch for the hearts. I took 2 hearts and glued them back to back, pierced them, used my Krenick blending filiament to hang them with. Ribbon is from my daughters "wedding invite" tote! LOL

Blog trouble??

I don't know how many people are having trouble with blogger, but I am! I re-took some photos yesterday and was going to exchange them with the ones on my blog. I went in and removed the HTML for my son's birthday card and it won't upload the new pic! So I had to remove the whole post!
Anyone else having the same trouble?
Hope everyone is having a great week!!
