Razzleberry True Friend

Happy Saturday Morning everyone! What are you planning for your weekend? Anything fun? I have a PEO brunch this morning and then dinner with friends tonight. I'm so looking forward to the day!

Anyway, I threw this card together quick yesterday afternoon. I saw a sketch similar to this...it didn't have the main panel but the three strips underneath were the only thing on the top in the original sketch which I think was on Stampin' Addicts (there is a link to SA in my sidebar if you are interested in finding out what it is). I had to use the new Razzleberry Lemonade designer series paper and In Color cardstock again. I used a Fillagree Brad and the In Color markers to make doodle around the Sweet N Sassy sentiment from A True Friend set. You likey? I likey!

I probably won't post tomorrow so I hope you have a super rest of your weekend!

Lots of Bots

Morning everyone! I hope you've had a wonderful week! I can hardly believe that it is Friday already. Today is Jon's last day of his junior year of high school. I remember being so excited about being a senior so, even though he says he isn't excited, I'm excited for him!

How about a little sneak peek for ya? Yep, I got my Stampin' Up! pre-order (one of the best things about being a SU! demo!) the other day and had to make a card right away! Although it is definitely simple, this card features the stamp set called Lots of Bots, SU!'s new In Colors, and some of the new In Color Polka Dot Grosgrain. Eeek...I love it all! The cardstock I've used is Dusty Durango and Crushed Curry. The Designer Series Paper is the new Razzleberry Lemonade and then I used the ribbon in Crushed Curry. Did you notice my robot's colors match the papers colors perfectly? Yep, SU! has In Color markers this year...! I'm so excited about that! I'll not be giving up my Copics anytime soon but I'm thrilled to have these markers available for club use and for my customers to purchase.

How about today's Psalm inspiration?

My heart trusted in him and I am helped. Psalms 28:7
As I always, always, always am...
Isn't it absolutely wonderful to know that He is always there to help? All we need to do is call on him.

Alright, I'm done gushing now. How excited are you all (that aren't demos of course) to see the new catty? Okay, okay...I'll stop teasing!

One final PS...one of my wonderful stamping friends gave Kyler the game Blink when he was having his teeth worked on last year. I don't remember who it was so if it was you please let me know!

Pumpin' Up the limeLIGHT

Good morning everyone! I hope you had a wonderful Wednesday! I didn't have anything crafty for ya plus we hiked the ridge again, then went to Yakima soooo...there is my excuse. Good one? Oh, and Kyler hiked the ridge with us and did a fantastic job!

Anyway...know what today is? Yep, today is a limeLIGHT sketch and product challenge! Can you guess what we are challenging you to use this week? Yep, that's right...rhinestones! Who doesn't love to bling up their project?

For my bling I used Kaisercraft's Rhinestone Cupcake. Don't ya just love it?! I added some fun Prima Flowers (which in real life match better than they do in the picture)...Mandy has a fantastic collection that you can see HERE. The Rhinestones in the middle of the flower are also from Kaisercraft and they come in a ton of different colors. Mandy just got some new colors in, too. You can see those HERE. I used some fun DCWV paper that has glitter everywhere. This card would be a great birthday card for a younger girl.

Check out Mandy's blog HERE for all the information you need to win some Rhinestones! Need or would like some more inspiration? Check out all the DT's blogs...Ryann, Lisa, Lee, JenMarie, Amy, Mandy, and Nikki (7th 6 chick for June).

So...what are ya waiting for? Go! Make a card with this sketch...link it back to Mandy's blog and you'll be in the running to win some yummy rhinestones!

While you're at it...have a super Thursday!

Smitten Snake

Morning everyone! I hope you had a wonderful start to you week yesterday!

Just a quick card to show you today. While I attended Paper Makeup Stamps new release party Sunday afternoon I also made this card for Todd. This cute stamp, from Paper Makeup, is called Smitten Snake. Now, I really don't like snakes but this one, with his big smile, is truly cute! I apparently had some problems with layering so please excuse that. I was in a hurry to get it done so I could put it in Todd's truck before he got done with work. I used the Card Patterns sketch for this card. This weeks sketch is a great multipurpose sketch design specifically for bigger images so get those stamps out girls!

I just have a little announcement for those that live in my area. My church is having VBS June 22-26 from 9 a.m. to noon. We are encouraging online registration that you can do through our church website HERE. The kids always have a great time every year so why not bring them over? Let me know if you have any questions!

Alright, I'm off for the day. I hope you all have a pleasant and productive day!

Soft and pretty Tilda...

Morning everyone! I got up much later than I had anticipated...silly alarm didn't go off. Hate that! Anyway...I'm now and probably all day feeling behind. Anyway...I have a card for you...woot! On to it!

One brand of stamps that I absolutely love is Magnolia. Now...I don't use them a lot because I just don't color the images that well. I see so many cards that are just beautifully colored with sweet Tilda and adorable Edwin and I'm always disappointed with mine. This time I took the tutorial on how to color her face (from HERE), printed it out, and put it in my special page protector area...this way I can use it each time I color Tilda. This card is for the KL Stampin' and Scrappin June challenge on Papercraft Planet. Oh, did I mention I won last months challenge? Yep, I did but with a non Magnolia stamp...so glad she lets us do that if we don't have Magnolias that will work!

Anyway, this Tilda is called Flower Skipping Rope and is just completely adorable! The challenge is this sketch so why don't you join the KLSNS Papercraft Planet group and try the sketch? You could win a "surprise" stamp and a 6x6 pad of Basic Grey Lime Rickey!

And I'd like to share this weekend's Psalm of the day...
Lead me in a plain path. Psalm 27:11
Some days I'd just like life to be simple. (Isn't that the truth! And, just so you know...the little comments are not my words they are on the calendar too. )

Okay, so I have to get moving (literally because I need to go exercise). I hope you have a fantastic day! See you soon!
