Craft Kitty kitty kitty!

This is my other image of Craft Queen that I was letting the bling dry yesterday! It was the turquoise stickles that took so long! I had so much fun with this one too! I love the color! Notice her outfit matches her eyes! LOL The card is 5x5. I wanted it a little bit bigger to get more bling on it. I have no idea where the paper came from. Most paper, I really don't pay attention to who makes it, if I like it, I pick it up! I do know it was at the bottom of my cube drawer so I have had it for awhile! The ribbon is by Offray. Such a rich color! Flowers are Prima's. I use my nesties to cut out my scalloped rectangle and ovals. Lots of bling, stickles, jewels and dew drops in the upper corner. I used my prisma's to color her. The edge is punched with my Fiskars Threading water punch.
I had so much fun working on these two Craft Kitty's..by Pink Cat Studio!
You really should stop over and look at Melissa's great stamps! Great selection and she also has some new releases coming out in June! No, I do not work for her, nor do I do anything for her business, Just one, more than happy customer!!

My New Header...

Well what can I say? I have a graphics program that is totally ignored! Tonight I was feeling "young" and thought okay, we are going wild! Thats about the extent of my wildness! LOL Over the years I have collected tubes for my graphics and tonight trying to make a nice classy header for my blog and searching endless disks for just that right look, I came across this tube. And then I was lost in playing and decided to make a few things to go with it and this is what I ended up with. Its my inner youth screaming to come out!! Oh I know we all have it somewhere deep inside, we just don't let it surface! Its bright, its funny and its totally me about 25 years ago!!
So thats my story and I'm sticking to it!
Hope everyone has a great evening!!

Craft Kitty

This is Craft Kitty by Pink Cat Studio. Isn't she a cutie! This is the first time I have inked this stamp up! I kept looking at all those little tiny space to color and couldn't imagine I could even begin to do it justice! Dug out my prisma's and gamosol and I started and I love the way it turned out! I even did another one, but the bling is drying! I knew the colors I wanted, green eyes, knew I needed green and red to go with the cape! So dug around in my Christmas papers and found this argyle design that I think fits just perfect! Flowers are Prima's and ric rak, local JoAnn fabrics.
Thanks for stopping by!

Billy

How cute is he?? He reminds me of my grandson Ethan. Ethan has a birthday in August and I was playing around with my Pink Cat Studio Stamps last night and stamped out the image and began coloring. I played around with a layout for my card, but just couldn't figure out what to do. So put it aside until this morning and it came together great! I love the bright colors and the ribbon and buttons. The ribbon & buttons are from the local craft store here in town. I had the paper for a gazillion years! He was so much fun to play with. I love those bright cards! I think he'll like it too!

Butterfly

I was cleaning my stamp room today and found this image I had colored way back when. Since it was raining out and dreary, he was nice and bright so decided to make a card. This was super simple but I love the paper! I have no idea who its by. Made my card 5x5 and put the 4 panels on the front. I love the ribbon which came from JoAnn's in the $1 bin! Thanks for stopping by!!

Inverted Scoring

This is so different for me and I just love the simplicty of cards like this. Really there is nothing simple about them! I used a set of clear flourish stamps from Inkadinkado. They are the prettest swrils I have seen yet! And I have LOTS! I themed it around my ribbon, green and brown. Dark colors for a pretty spring day! I scored the 3 1/2 x 3 1/2 inch square with my Scor-Pal and used the back side of it. I stamped the images with River Rock ink from SU. Used a sponge and lightly went over the white cs with chalk. I used my oval nesties for the embelishment and attached brads to each side. I used my fiskars border punch, Threading Water for the side. My green card stock has a white core which I wasn't real happy with but I needed THAT color! The Thank you is by Studio G. This was a fun card to do, something way out of the ordinary for me!!
I'm done for the day! Now its time to pick up my "creative mess"!!

Da Bug!

Have you ever been cruzing the net and looking at stamps and ran across one you HAVE GOT TO GET? You have no idea what you are going to do with it, but it just looks like plain old fun! Well this one had to be it. Many years ago, there was a "bug" in my life, a orange one. Loved that car! Wasn't my car, but someone at the time that was close to me. So seeing this was one of those "dejavu" moments in life! Coloring it was so much fun, trying to figure out the layout, not so much fun! But finally after setting it aside all day long, I think I figured it out! This stamp set is by Clear Dollar Stamps http://www.newcleardollarstamps.com/servlet/StoreFront, (my insert link does NOT WORK!!) You have to stop over and check out the cute stamps they have! and some are for $1!!
Thanks for looking and stopping by!

TV Lamp

Told you I liked Retro! Must be my age! I am retro! I collect TV Lamps. I don't know how many of you remember them, but the sat on top of your tv and had a dim light. They said that watching tv could hurt your eyes if there was no light. So the tv lamp was born! I have about 30, my mom has about 20. This pic is my favorite style. I have one in almost every color they came out with. The colors were limited. I have black, green and maroon. The colors also vary and there are two styles of the tulip lamp. This one having the tips of the tulip droop more than the other. My favorite is the black ones trimmed in gold. There is a pealized color in the lighter parts of these lamps. Very pretty! And I also collect planters that sat in a gold filigree stand. I love those things and think back on my mom's and gramma's. Always wondering why I didn't keep those! I have a swan planter that I won off of ebay. Looked for ever for it. My mom had one and an awful story to go with it! I must of been about 7 and babysitter had her boyfriend over and they were goofing around on the couch. I was in the chair and they threw the pillow and hit the swan that hit my moms glass globe lamp and guess what?? I GOT BLAMED FOR IT!! Broke the lamp, swan lived! I was grounded forever! And I didn't do it! I remember the swan and I wanted one so I went on a hunt for it! Found it and I make sure I keep it away from all glass things! LOL But I have my swan!! Might even be the same one! Who knows!!
Just thought I would tell ya how much I do love retro!!

Retro Dare??

After doing those 200+ Save the Dates my mojo was GONE! I tried working on a few cards but couldn't get the layout the way I wanted so gave up. Then talking about it at SCCB, Susan dared me to make a retro card! She knows how much I love retro! Well I just happened to have a stamp set from Cats Pajamma's and thought, okay Susan, your on. Well I have to admit, I had fun! Oh, and the best part is... I colored the tv with a copic! LOL This was a fun card to do. It reminds me of The Jetson's!! You've got to remember George, Jane, Judy, Elroy, Astro and Rosie the robot!! I loved that show! Once in awhile I can find a channel that has reruns and I sit there like a little kid wondering what it would be like to live in the space age!

160 Finished Save the Dates!

Well I'm getting there! I have 160 finished Save the Dates!!! 40 left to go! WOOOHOOO!! I set up a card table in the living room yesterday and went like crazy! I had everything prepared and just had to mount layers and crop my embossing cs. I was short 50, so back to the drawing board and getting those printed and mounted. I finally finished the last 50 at 11:30Pm, now just have to mount them on the back cs. Hopefully I will get those done this week. I can then attach my magnet to the back of the card and put them in the envie and call them finished!! Now just waiting to start on the invites. I have to play around for awhile with those yet. I decided I want some kind of pocket on the inside to hold the RSVP. Just have to figure out how I'm going to do this!! Oh, I did take a short break yesterday, I scrubbed the kitchen floor! LOL
Hope everyone had a wonderful weekend! Thanks for stopping by!!
