Vavavoom Samantha!

Well, it's been a shamefully long time since I've posted anything...It's not that I haven't been stamping, although, truth be told, I go through fazes (with all crafts). But, I have been taking part in some more challenges lately, and I just got an order in from Kraftin' Kimmie. This is Samantha...isn't she tha bomb! The sentiment comes with her too! I did this card for my best friends birthday this week. The challenge this week at Kraftin' Kimmie was to use flowers. I used my new Die-namics Flower Trio and Leaf. All my CS is from Stampin' Up! and my PP is an old deck from Making Memories called Sabrina. My little pearls are from Dollarama. I coloured her in using my Prismascolour Pencil and blending medium. I added some sparkle with my clear Atyou Spica pen. Hope you enjoy!

Have I mentioned my love of all things "Twilight"? I recently discovered a digi stamp company called Pixie Dust Studio and what did I find there..."Love Sparkles "How cute are they?

I stamped Edward and Bella onto some SU ultra smooth white cs and coloured them with my prisma pencils. I should also mention because it can't be seen in the photo, that Edward does indeed sparkle. I coloured his skin with my clear spica pen. I layered them onto some pp from Kaiser craft (that I ran through my CB using the Stylized Flowers embossing folder) that I've been hoarding for a while :) and all of that onto some Going Gray from SU and a purple from Bazzil. The sentiment is from "Fictionally Inspired" by Artful Inkables and it's stamped with Going Gray also. I finished my card off with some pretty purple ribbon that I picked up from Micheals.

Hope you like it and I'd love to hear from you...

Sweetness and butterflies...

Hello again! This weeks challenge over at Stamping Bella is "Free Form Friday", so I took the opportunity to finally ink up beautiful Gertie Lulu. Isn't she adorable?

I stamped her on Bellas Bestest white and used some Bazzil cs this week for the base and layers. The ds paper is from the Making Memories Love Struck collection and Basic Grey's Urban Prairie collection. I coloured her with you guessed it, my prismacolour pencils and used a yellow atyou spica pen on her dress (which looks darker in the photo than in rl) and a clear spica pen on the butterflies. I finished each of the 3 rectangles with a yellow rhinestone from Micheals.

I used my brand new rectangle and scalloped rectangle nesties for Gertie and popped up the image for some dimension. The pattern for this card was from a challenge at Kraftin' Kimmie. Thanks for stopping by and please leave a comment.

Time has flown...

Wow, I can't believe it's been a week since I last posted! I've been on vacation and spending time with my Mom who came to stay for the week. We've been pretty busy, hense, no posts. I did manage to make a card for the Bellarific Challenge today though. Todays was a sketch challenge.

I love sketchs, they are so much easier than straining my brain trying to come up with my own layout. And, I got to make it on my new table! So glad to not be hunched over my coffee table anymore...Anyway, back to the card...

I stamped my cute little Turtle Tots Baker from Stamping Bella onto my bella's bestest paper in white. I coloured him up with my prisma colour pencils and added a little sparkle to his shell with my melon atyou spica pen and my clear glaze pen got added to the yummy batter he's stirring up. Sadly, neither can really be seen in the picture...
I got this great paper on my cross border shopping trip, it's called Nana's Kitchen and it's made by DCWV. It's so pretty and glittery. Everything is layered on SU cs in Certainly Celery, Barely Banana and Pretty in Pink. I tied a bit of white polka dotted ribbon from my stash around the top in place of the flowers that are shown in the sketch.

Thanks for stopping by...

Cheeky little thing...

Well, it's a rainy day here in Toronto, but it was my day off, so, it was still top notch! I spent a little time stamping today, but I really have to get a new table to craft on. Crouching over my coffee table is not the epitome of comfort...ouch...

Todays card features Cheeky Rockabilly
from The Greeting Farm. Isn't she cute? So sassy...She is stamped on US White and layered on Tempting Turquoise (card base is also TT) all from Stampin'Up! The patterned paper is The Citrus Pack from DCWV. I coloured her using my Prismacolour Pencils and then added some gloss to her hair with Crystal Effects. I popped up the layers and added some flowers and a rhinestone brad from the Dollarama. I added a little sparkle to her outfit with my clear Atyou Spica pen. Hope you like her!
