A Sweet 'n Sassy Birthday

Happy Saturday!!  :)  Whew...just about forgot about my post today.  We have been busy getting ready for 30 new baby chicks that are supposed to be here on Monday.  This will be my very first time raising chicks so I am pretty excited about the whole thing!!  Beds are all warm and ready for their arrival.  :)

Anyway, today I have a card for you using the new Sweet 'n Sassy digi images called "Circus Fun" and these are some seriously cute images!!!  You can also get them in stamp format for all you diehard stampers out there!!  :)  Here's the card I have for you today....

I ended up cutting my tent apart because I couldn't get it to look the way I wanted it to but I think it turned out pretty cute this way.  Aren't these images just too fun!?!

Check out all of the AMAZING stamps and digis to be found at Sweet 'n Sassy Stamps.  You won't be disappointed that you stopped by!!

Thank you for stopping by today and hope you have a totally awesome weekend!!!

An Easter/Spring Challenge at Phindy's Place

Hello friends!!  It is time for a new challenge at Phindy's Place and this week we are challenging you to use and Easter or Spring theme for your project.  I am so ready for spring especially since we received about an inch of snow today with another 2 to 4 inches expected tonight.  Ugh!!!  For my card I have decided to go with an Easter theme.  I have used this darling little image called "Eggstatic".  This little cutie looks like the little chicks that I am expecting to show up on Monday.  We're going to have 30 of the little cuties!!  Here's my card for this challenge...

 Isn't this image just adorable!!  I really had a lot of fun playing with this one!!  I am also using this card for The Outlawz Copic/Promarker challenge with I have issued the challenge of "Combining Mediums".  For this card I have combined my Copics with Prismacolor pencils and also use some Sakura glaze and stardust pens.  I really with you could see this image in real life.  It has so much more character than this picture shows!!!  :) 

Copics Used:
Chick - YR30, YR31 and Prisma's.
Egg - C00, C1, R81, R83, B21, B24, YR30, YR31 and E44  I also used a custom R81 and R21

Sentiment is from TLC Creations created specially for Phindy's Place.  :)

My DP is a really old Sassafras Lass but hey, it matched perfectly!!! 

Thank you for stopping by today and hope that you will check out the rest of the DT cards at both Phindy's Place and The Outlawz Copic/Promarker challenge!!  We hope that you will join us in both challenges!!  :)

Have a good one!!

Well, today is Korin's birthday, of Sweet 'n Sassy Stamps and we are surprising her with a birthday blog hop!!  I hope you will join me in wishing Korin a very happy birthday!!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY, KORIN!!!!  MAY IT BE THE BEST EVER!!  MAY GOD BLESS YOU IN THE YEAR TO COME.

Here's the card that I created for Korin using the new release stamp set called "Spring Tulips" and this set is absolutely gorgeous!!  LOL, I think I said the same thing about the last set I used but seriously, these stamps are FABULOUS!!  Okay....NOW here's my card!  :)

Okay, don't look at the embossing because my image obviously slipped when I was doing it.  Ugh!!  Oh well, the image is still pretty!!  :)  My image is colored with Copics and Prismacolor Pencils.

Thank you for stopping by today and your next stop on the Birthday trail is Sandy.

Hope you enjoy the blog hop!!!  :)

Sweet 'n Sassy Guest Designer

WOW...I can't believe that it is already April 3rd and I have failed to let you all know that I am so excited about being asked to be a Guest Designer for Sweet 'n Sassy Stamps for the month of April.  It is such an honor to work with this very talented group of ladies and to work with such an AWESOME company as Sweet 'n Sassy Stamps!!  I hope you will stop by and check out some of the beautiful stamps that Sweet 'n Sassy has to offer.  I LOVE THEM!!!!

For my very first assignment I have created a card with the new release stamp set called "Praise The Lord" and I totally fell in love with this stamp set.  I love all of the images that include scripture and inspiring words with them.  They just warm my heart!!!  Here's my very first card.....

I have to admit that I had to pull out my bird book so that I could try and get the color pattern right on my bird.  I really love bluebird although all we have around here are the Mountain Bluebirds so they have no rust color in them but beautiful nonetheless!!!  I have colored my image with Copic and Prismacolor pencils and I have to say, I love how it turned out!!!  It took me a long time playing with my pencils to achieve the wispy blend of the colors.  But alas, I prevailed.  LOL!!

I want to thank Korin and the Sweet 'n Sassy Stamps Design Team for giving me the opportunity to work with these beautiful stamps and hope that I have inspired you all just a little.

Make sure you stop by Sweet 'n Sassy Stamps and look at all of the awesome stamps they have in both acrylic and digital.  I'm sure you will fall in love with them just as I have.

Thank you for stopping by today and hope you have an awesome week!!

An April Fools Challenge

Hello friends!!  This week at The Outlawz Copic/Promarker challenge I have issued the challenge to color an embellie with your markers.  Here's the card I have created using the adorable Magnolia stamp called Tilda With Many Hearts.  Here's my card....

I'm not overly thrilled with my coloring on this one.  I wasted a whole sheet of paper trying to stamp an image yesterday.  OMGosh, I sure hope it's just spring fever and I'm not losing my mojo altogether!!  Eeek!

I discovered a new technique for me and although I've never seen it used before doesn't mean it's not out there already.  Anyway, I wanted a flower that went from dark around the outside to the cream in the middle like you see on flowers.  Well, I just made an outline with my marker around the outside of my flower and went OMGosh, that looks horrible so I took my colorless blender and started working it out a little and woohoo...I was able to get the look that I wanted, totally by accident!  :)

Thank you for stopping by today and I would love for you to join me at The Outlawz Copic/Promarker challenge this week.  Oh, I forgot to tell you that there are a couple of REALLY AWESOME prizes for April.  One is an ABS1 system being offered by Rusty at Oozak!!  WOW, talk about being generous but you can't win if you don't play!!  :)

Have a good one!!

Have a Little Humor

Hello friends!!  It's time for a new challenge at Phindy's Place and this week we are challenging you to use some humor.  Okay seriously, this was very very difficult for me as I have been missing my mojo and I'm sorry but there is nothing humorous about it!!  :P  WOW....what to do!?!  Well, this is what I came up with using this adorable image called "Bug Buddy"...

With all that curly hair, I just had to make it red and give him a few freckles!!  :)  Okay, I know my humor is really corny but none of us could think of anything that would be funny.  I tried to give him dirty knees but it ended up just looking funny.  Hahaha....there's my humor!!!  LOL...I think my humor card turned into an April Fools joke!!

Copics Used:
Skin - E0000, E000, E00, E11 and E95
Hair - E13, E15, E17, E18, E19
Shirt - R37, R35, R32 and BG10, BG11, BG13
Pants - Y0000, Y11, Y13, Y15

Thank you for stopping by today and we hope to see you at Phindy's Place this week.  Make sure you check out the rest of the DT cards.  Theirs was a lot better than mine!!

Come back later today because I have a seriously fun and awesome blog candy that you have a chance to win!!!  WooHoo....gotta love awesome blog candy!  :)

Have a good one!!!
