Hi everyone! Today's card features a image from House Mouse. I just love these guys. I did this card awhile ago and as much as I like it it has a lot of mistakes. Hopefully you'll overlook them :)
I heat embossed over the coloring to set everything in. I used red stickles on the barrel and the trees are from SU. On the edges of the image, I used a gold leafing pen to frame the picture. The gold fibers tied around the top part of the card is from CTMH. Well I off to take the kids to the beach. So have a great Sunday everyone...

Grape Fairy!

Good Morning Everyone!!! it's Friday. YAY!!!! I got to play with one of my new stamps yesterday and this is what I came up with. This card features Grape Fairy from Victoria Case Art Designs. Isn't she cute! I bought more of her stamps but there the monsters and there all to cute. I'm not sure where the DP came from but it's a coordinating paper pack. I used the sketch from Mojo Monday but I can't seem to bring up the sketch. The flowers are from CTMH and dew drops are in all the flowers. The sentiment is from SU. The ribbon is also from CTMH and I stuck a caterpillar brad in the ribbon, I know a caterpillar is more for an apple image but I thought it was cute, so I stuck it. LOL! Thank You for putting up with my weirdness..LOL!
Thank You!!! Come Again!!

MOJO MONDAY: use this week's layout sketch (#92)

Hi Yall...hehe

Hi Everyone!!! OK so I survived no indentations are on the walls can't say that about my bed though. LOL! shoot I didn't end up going to bed till 5:00am and slept for 2hrs woke up and had to take another pill then went to bed last night at 1:00am and got a whole 6 and a half hours of sleep.. yay so yep passed out...LOL!!! not again... :)
Did you guys see the shocking news of Michael Jackson dying??? Crazy!!!! and Farrah Fawcett
Today I wanted to show you an oddball but ran out of time but I did find this to be so funny. I'm trying to put my hand into digi images well this image with the monkey is my first but I can't seem to find the right size so I went through a few (a lot) of card stock. LOL! so I gave my son the first one because my kids like to color with me still and who wouldn't want to color this right? well he colored it for his dad for Father's Day..wasn't that sweet! so he was the first one in the family to do a digi image and I had to show you that...LOL the hole in the middle of the paper is from my husband sticking it on the wall in our room. The Digi Image is from Dustin Pike. It was free..
The next card is of course from The Greeting Farm. I think this is Eva (thanks Tammy). It's a real simple card but I like the flow of the card. DP is glittery butterflies and I used shimmerz to make her shiny. The ribbon is Misc and the solid card stock Bazzill. I used my nesties for the image and the tag the Just Rite sentiment is on with Pearls from Queen and Co.
Thank you everyone for saying such nice comments and for the positive feedback..LOL!
OK just in case you already read this post earlier I SCREWED UP THE WHOLE POST!!!! I need sleep! ya i'll stick with that excuse.... :) so sorry!!!!
Thank You!!! Come Again!!!

Double Card Challenge

Good morning Everyone!!! sorry for being M.I.A.!! well these are the cards I was talking about last week. I wanted to do the Taylored Expressions challenge and I think they look OK. My DD likes the cupcake card but my husband says its strange LOL! and the Doraline holding a cupcake is fun but simple I didn't use any bling...
So the first card is a image from MOTIVET called Doraline with Birthday Cake. I love this stamp. The paper is from O O brain fart. I think My Mind's Eye. Ribbon is from Wally world..but I did use my new Martha Stewart punch shoot I threw away the packaging but it has something to do with scallops. So this was a simple card but fun just the same...
This card features a Taylored Expression image that my friend Tammy sent me awhile ago. It's a standard size card with layers. I used DP from DCWV and my other new border punch from Martha Stewart. On the cupcakes head I used Taylored Expressions rhinestones. The green is Bazzill and I ran it through the Cuttlebug using swiss dots folder. Fibers are wrapped around the border punch to finish off the card.. Well that's it!! :)

OK this card was fun to make. First I cut a circle in the middle of the SU DP with my Creative Memories circle cutter. I just traced the corner DP and adhered it down. The ribbon is from CTMH and all the rhinestones came from Queen&CO...I used three different sizes of nesties for the middle cardstock and image. O! and I pop dotted it.

Plus he has an awesome laugh :)...so this movie better be funny..so I have to hurry:
Today's card features an image from SU called Stipple Butterfly.

O So Bright!!!

Good Morning Everyone!!! Thank you for the wonderful comments! every time I read them I'm thinking of Sally Fields acceptance speech when she said ..you like me you really like me...LMBO!!.. so I appreciate your comments it inspires me to keep on going...
Today's card features an image from C.C Designs. She's to cute! This is part of a set called JuneBug. Well because the DP is so pretty and glittery I didn't want to detract from that to much. The DP is from DCWV called Nana's Kids. I love that paper! I distressed the edges of the image paper with orange ink. I colored her in and added shimmerz over her to make her glittery and sparkly too..hehe this image has little bubbles on her, well...I thought why not put some rhinestones in the bubbles instead of Stickles..LOL! so I added pretty bright pink Taylored Expressions rhinestones. aren't they cute???I also tore the top half's of the paper, layered the image onto more Nana's kid paper. The corner paper is the same from the back of the image. I used my SU punch to get the corners and of course added dew drops (because I have to) on the corners. I used my SU punch called Round Tab and added a Just Rite Sentiment called beautiful to add more prettiness LOL! and finished it off with more rhinestones....That's it! :)

Merry Christmas!!!

Good Morning Everyone!!!! OK first off let me tell you, I'm on a TGF kick. This stamp company is my favorite!! and I made three cards last night using them. So you may get tired of my blog here pretty soon :) they are so fun....
Today's card features a image that my friend Tammy sent me awhile ago. I missed out on this limited edition stamp but NEVER AGAIN! LOL! well I wanted to make a Christmas card last night using her. Both my husband and I are complete traditionalists when it comes to Christmas colors but I think for my cards this year I'm going to go outside my comfort zone. So here's the first one. What do you think?? I like it. I may have a hard time sending them out though. Someone special and who would appreciate my cards will be the only one receiving them, that's for sure. :)
Oops back to the card. The glittery pretty DP is from My Mind's Eye (Festive & Frost)
I used a Foundry Metal Frame from CTMH for the middle of the card. I pop dotted the elf onto the top of the frame. I also put a real bell on the top of her stocking hat. I used Shimmerz to make her glittery and pretty and also put the Shimmerz on the ribbon. I also used Rhinestones from Q&C to frame in the date 25Th and the Merry Christmas sentiment. The ribbon is something else I had in my stash. That's it!!! Have a great Sunday!!
Thank You!! Come Again!!

Swiss Pixies Heidi!!!

Hi Everyone!!! sorry I'm late again... I had a late night. I was creating this card and having a lot of fun with it. I really like it..LOL!! what do you think???
Today's card features an image from C.C Designs. Isn't she adorable her name is Heidi. I colored in her wings with Stickles. The very pretty and glittery DP is from DCWV called Nana's kids. I have decided awhile ago to use some of my old stuff that I just had to have. So the Magic Mesh is one of those items do you remember that? QVC had it in different colors well I just had to have it and have never really used it. I must say that this stuff retains it's stickiness..YAY! I also had an old butterfly punch. This is kind of funny I have a Crop n Style punch pal hanging on my wall, well the newest craze is butterflies so here I'm thinking I need to get that Martha Stewart punch that everyone is getting and I'm making my list of punches that I want to buy and I'm staring off into space twirling on my chair and I happen to glance over and I see my very dusty punch pal and I'm looking and looking and by golly HOLY SMOKES!! I have some pretty cool punches! who new..sure as heck not me!! So guess what, this butterfly punch I've had for years and I finally got to use it! I stuck these very teeny tiny rhinestones on each butterfly from Taylored Expressions. The pink hardware is from CTMH. and on the bottom of the DP I used my SU punch and paper pieced inside each hole...I almost forgot about the SU spiral punch..I really like that punch...Well that's it have a great weekend everyone!!!
Thank You!!! Come Again!!!

Mouse Cupcake....

Good Afternoon Everyone!!! sheesh I had to work late today. Sorry for the late post...
Today's card features a image from WOJ (Whiff Of Joy) isn't this the cutest image. I used a Bazzill base it's a pretty pink. Well I used tags for this card. I covered these tags with a Basic Grey paper. I love chipboard! so I covered Basic Grey chipboard with Basic Grey paper. I used my new Nesties for the pink and white paper. The Rhinestones on the corners of the chipboard is from Taylored Expressions. I also used a Gelly sticker that says Happy Birthday for my sentiment on the bottom corner. The cupcake itself has rhinestones that are different shapes from Taylored Expressions. The green ribbon is from CTMH and the pink one is from Wal Mart. I added a close up picture so you could see the detail. You can also click on the picture at any time. Well I hope everyone is looking forward to the weekend...

O Riley!!

Hi Everyone!!!! I'm sorry I've been gone so long!!! The kids have been out of school since last Friday and I am excited! were trying to stay busy instead of staying home and watching TV and eating junk food. That's the goal and were doing good!!! exercising everyday. Whew!! i'm tired!!! Anyways enough about me and now about my cards. Well shock this is a standard size card. I like the top one but the bottom one is kinda plain but hey they can't all be likable :) The images are from Hanna Stamps they are the Riley Moose line...I love them!
The top card is paper pieced and the DP is from Memory Box called Sparkle. I love the distressed darkness to it. Very Pretty. The Fibers are Misc..
This card is a real simple card. I don't have the name of the DP but it was fun. (I thought) LOL!
I used CTMH ribbon and dew drops on the corners of the sentiment...That's it Thank you so much for staying with me!!! I'll be back!! (in my best Arnold voice) hehehe
Thank You!! Come Again!!!

Pink Elephant!

Good Morning Everyone!!! One more day of craziness then I can play and focus on my new stash of Rubbah..LOL!!
Today's card features an image from High Hopes stamps. I love this company! BUT I do know some of you were interested in buying some just a WARNING though, the stamps can take up to 2 months to get to you, they are so worth it but they do take forever to get.
I colored her notice she has pink toe nail polish... and sponged a tan color all around. The DP (designer paper) is from DCWV (Die Cuts With a View) Animal Crackers matstack. This paper is glittery and I love it. I actually used CTMH textured cardstock and I don't really like the white core showing through so I won't use it again for a base, so if you click on the picture you'll see the white on the top were the seam is, :( so just know that that's what that is......
I adhered a elephant button to the front of the pink string...And of course dew drops are all around the corners of the image with a CTMH flower.....
Have a great Friday!!!
Thank You!!! Come Again!!!

You're So Sweet!!

Hi Everyone!!! sheesh last day of SCHOOL!!! and it's crazy!!!
Quick post today since i'm so late....
My friend Tammy sent me these brads and very cute image! I colored her, pop dotted onto a Technique Tuesday piece of chipboard. The cupcake is from Inkadinkado, I stamped the cupcake straight onto the Technique Tuesday piece of chipboard, colored and cut out the cherries adhered them on top of the cupcake. I also added a sentiment from one of those $1.00 stamps from Michael's on a piece of TT chipboard, plus added rhinestones from Taylored Expressions. On top of all three pieces of chipboard I added Angel Wingz Shimmerz to give it shine, it's very pretty in RL. All the DP is from SU......
Thank you Everyone!!! Come Again!!!

Not So Easy & Simple Bella and Alice

Good Morning Everyone!!
Today's cards were my first attempt at sewing and I must say I loved it! I will be doing more of that but it is time consuming so ill do more during summer. First card is a Bella card. I put stickles onto the flower with a dew drop in the middle. The DP is from Basic Grey. I adhered the paper down with adhesive then sewed around on the outside. The little pink brads in the corners are from CTMH. I used SU spiral punch on the edge of the Basic Grey paper. Click on the pictures to see the card for better details......
Second card is from one of my favorite stamp companies The Greeting Farm. Can you tell it's Alice? This card also was NOT easy to do.LOL! O boy I got crazy with the sewing part, ill try to explain everything correctly, I started off with SU DP. I cut the middle paper and sewed it down, then I adhered big silk ribbon onto the top of that paper, then sewed around that too. So believe me nothing is moving. LOL! I made a bow with the same silk ribbon and adhered it on top with glue hehe. I also tied pink string around the bow and put a metal flower charm on it. On the corners are CTMH big rhinestones. The mushroom comes with the Alice set. I used Stickles on her hair band and the heart on her dress, the mushroom also has stickles on it. I also pop dotted her. The images came from my friend Tammy. Thank you Tammy!!!!
Well shoot this is a long post! See even my post isn't easy..sheesh...if you read all this thank you!!

Share A Flower....

Good Morning Everyone!! I made it! it's just 11:00 am ...
Today's card features a image from I think Stampin Up. I got it from a image swap and I made this card before I started to blog so I have nothing written down. Correct me if i'm wrong and i'll fix it...thank you :)
I distressed all around the edges of the SU DP. I love distressing..The buttons and the yellow flowers are from CTMH. The green flowers are from Prima. And of course here's my dew drops...so its a pretty simple card but I like it a lot. The base is from Bazzill, it's yellow..That's it!
Thank you! Come Again! and yay! my new stamps came in and I can't wait to play...

Do you need a Bath????

Good Morning Everyone!!! Diana and Agustina, email me your addresses please. painkillerinc@yahoo.com...
Today's card features another one of Burt's Bath from High Hopes. If you remember I posted another Burt's Bath early on in my blogging. I just love this guy! The DP is from SU. The buttons i'm not sure who makes them but they are just to cute! I have another picture so you can get a better close up. I used my cuttlebug embossing folder swiss dots to add texture on the green DP and wrapped silk ribbon around it, added stickles to the bubbles. I just love the colors.
Well I just went on a spendng spree with a LOT of different stamp companies so you'll see new images here soon. Thanks for stopping by!
