My Favorite Things Stamps...WSC # 55....So Grateful...!

Hey stampin' friends! Just wanted to share the card that I made for this week's MFTWSC55. I am making a concerted effort to keep up with all the of the MFT Wednesday Stamp Club sketches. So, I thought I better get cracking on this week's card cuz I am going to the Guelph Mega Crop tomorrow to hang out with my pal Kraftin' Kimmie and the Krafty Girls...YAY!!!

I got some new stash this week from Lora at One Crazy Stamper on-line shop and I have to tell you how impressed I am with the service from One Crazy Stamper...incredible selection, outstanding service, great prices and lightening speed shipping. If you are looking for a great place to shop, I totally recommend you try One Crazy Stamper!!! So, I got this gorgeous 6x6 MME  Love Me paper pad and it is SO pretty...love it! I got a few older MFT PI stamp sets that Lora had on sale too. I used this one called PI Rose and I just adore her! I cut her out and cut off the rose this time. I wanted it to look like she is holding the layered labels sentiment.  I coloured her with Copics and paper pieced her pretty dress...love her dress to bits. I gave her sparkly pink tights by using my Quickie Glue pen and then sprinkling some Glamour Dust on them. I am loving the Layered Labels Die-namics die and I used one of the sweet sentiments that comes in the PI Rose set. I also made a felt flower with My Favorite Felt and the Pretty Posies Die-namics and Perfect Petal Trio Die-namics sets.

Here is the inside...I stamped PI Rose again in London Fog Memento ink and just didn't ink up the rose and then strategically placed another Layered Label Die-namics with a sentiment from the PI Something Special Just for You set. I added two more wee felt flowers.

Well, thanks so much for stopping by and having a wee peek at my card for MFTWSC55!

Hope you have a stampin' great weekend!!!

Hugs,

Just Magnolia # 61...Bev's Sketch...Hoppy Birthday!

I'm back again to share the card I made today for the Just Magnolia Challenge! Bev has designed a great sketch for us this week and I really enjoyed using it. It's definitely one to use again!

I made an easel card with American Crafts cardstock and Imaginisce Princess paper that I've had in my stash for a while. I finally inked up this adorable princess Tilda! I've been dieing to use my princess sentiment stamp from Catslife press with her. I coloured Tilda with my Copics and add a lot of Glamour Dust to her wings...wish I could have got a better pic of her...she is very sparkly IRL!

I also used the frog stamp as well and I printed the bottom sentiment on the computer.

I also used one of Kraftin' Kimmie's sentiments too. I'm just posting this quickly as we are going out to dinner and then going to see Toy Story 3 in 3D at the show.

Thanks for stopping by and having a wee peek!

Kraftin' Kimmie Stamps...May Release...Preview #1!

Hey Krafty friends! It's time for the Kraftin' Kimmie Stamps May release sneak peeks! This month Annie has created a fun release for the Moonlight Whisper collection of stamps, they are just "beachy"...I know you are going to love 'em! They will be available at the Kraftin' Kimmie online store on Sunday May 16th and we will have a big ol' "beachy" blog hop, as per usual, that day too, so mark it on your calendar!

The card I have to share with you today features my fave girlie in this release, Eleanor! I just think she is sooooooo adorable! Don't you just love her "old school' beach attire?! I sure do! I love her cute pose too!

I made my card base 6x6 from American Crafts cardstock and I got to use up some old stash too! I thought this Daisy Bucket Designs paper was bright and fun for a beachy b-day card!

I picked up an Imaginisce Snag'em stamp at Micheals and it just so happened that this flourishy flower motif matched the flowers on Eleanor's bathing cap perfectly! I coloured the flowers with my Copics and paper pieced Elanor's swim suit with the Daisy Bucket paper! I cut out the image with my circle Nesties and left the image in the die and inked with Spun Sugar Distress ink. I added the requisite American Crafts ribbon and a little bling that all my cards seem to have,smile...the tag is a QK tag and the sentiment is from the Kimmie's Beach/Summer sentiments set that co-ordinate perfectly with the May release images.

Here is the inside....the sentiment it's a combination of the Beach/Summer sentiments in the new May Release and "birthday" is from the Kimmie's Everyday Sentiment set!

Thanks so much for stopping by and come back tomorrow as I will have another sneak peek to share with you! Hop on over to the KKS Challenge blog and Kimmie will have a list with links to all the Krafty Girls previews! Don't forget that Saturday is our KKS Challenge day and the Krafty Girls will be sharing more previews and then Sunday is the big "beachy" blog hop...you don't want to miss the fun, now, do you?!

Have a Stampin' Great day, friends!

Dottie's World Sunday Challenge...Twice as Nice by Adele...Time for a Mani-pedi, Cutie!!!

This week at Dottie's world Challenge blog, Adele, has set the challenge and it is.......

Twice as Nice!!!! "I want your creations to include two or more of the Charmed Download images, mix and match, resize, whatever you fancy but I need to see two images."

So, for my card I decided to use my Holly and Madison download images from Charmed Cards and Crafts! I am just loving the World Tour images designed by Louise! So, for this card you need to use your imagination a bit and pretend that Madison is really Holly,lol!!!!

I'm really getting sick of winter and being all bundled up! The other day I had one of those, "Note-to-Self-moments" and thought, I really should book an appointment with the Esthetician, ASAP! Once, spring is here and I shed my tuque, winter parka, and Ugs, God only knows, what is lurking underneath all the gear I have been wearing for the last 6 months, lol!!!! Yes, 6 months we have long winters here in Canda,smile!!!!

So, I cut a 6x6 cardbase from Bazzill Bling cardstock and used some Kelly Panacci pp that I have had in my stash for a while now! I stamped a Fancy Pants flourish stamp on the pp with chalk ink!

I printed Madison in the Mountains and Holly on the Beach. I resized Holly to make her a little smaller and printed her on Georgia Pacific paper that I had cut into a thought bubble shape on my Silhouette! So, this is where you have to use your imagination and pretend Madison is really Holly with her hair tucked up under her tuque and she is envisioning herself at the beach!!!!

I coloured both images with my Copics and used a little Metallic Rub-ons around Holly on the thought bubble! The sentiment is computer generated and I inked the edges and added lots of Glamour Dust. I just discovered Glamour Dust recently and love it!!! Unfortunately, it doesn't really show up to well!

So, there you have it! Now, I really need to go give, Meridith, my Esthetician, a call and see if she can pencil me in for a Mani-Pedi,lol!

Hope you have a great week and hope that you can join us at Dottie's World Challenge and make your creation Twice as Nice! Thanks for stopping by and having a wee look!

Hugs,
