The rest of the image is colored in with Copic Markers and I added some Starfire Glitter to the puddle and StarDust Stickles to the umbrella handle.

Let It Slide

Good Morning & Happy Saturday; my favorite day of the week! I have another cutie Storage Units, Ink & More card to share with you today. The boys on the slide and sentiment are from the LET'S PLAY set and the grass is from the YOU'RE SOME BUNNY SPECIAL set. I used SC219 for my layout (LOVE this sketch). The image is stamped in Memento Tuxedo Black ink and colored in with Prismacolor Markers. The cardstock colors are Green Galore and Only Orange and the patterned paper is American Crafts. To create the waves, I used my EK Success Wavy Dot punch. I used my ticket corner punch on the image, added red brads, and popped it up on dimensionals.

WAIT; there's more...LOL! Tomorrow is the start of SNEAK PEEKS for Storage Units, Ink & More April releases. There are three sets being released (YES, THREE) and they are ABSOLUTELY ADORABLE. I will have my sneak peek for you tomorrow, so I hope to see you back here then. Have a GREAT Saturday everyone!

SUINKWWC33 - Jump Right In

Good Morning! I hope everyone is having a good week so far. It's Wednesday, which means it's time for another WHACHADOIN' WEDNESDAY CHALLENGE at Storage Units, Ink & More.

If so, check out THIS post for more information. If you upload your creation to SCS, remember to use keyword SUINKWWC33.

There are many ways I like to add texture to my cards, but for this week's challenge I used my #1 favorite; the Cuttlebug embossing folder (I know, nothing fancy...LOL). For today's card I used the Swiss Dots folder (my favorite). I also used Taylor's Cupcake Challenge #60 sketch for my layout. The ADORABLE girl jumping rope and the sentiment are from the Storage Units, Ink & More set; LET'S PLAY. I stamped the image in Memento Tuxedo Black ink; paper pieced her dress, and colored the rest of the image in with Copic Markers. The cardstock, patterned paper, and ribbon are all from Taylored Expressions. I used my new EK Success Wavy Dot Punch on the patterned paper and the image is popped up on dimensionals.

Mojo Sketch #77 - Happy Birthday

Good Morning & Happy Tuesday! I have a quick card today using Mojo Sketch #77 that I forgot to post a couple of weeks ago (oops!). I made this card for one of my Daughter's friends. I used the Stamp a Sweet Impression set, Sweet Celebration and the Birthday Girl Key Ingredients from Taylored Expressions. I colored the image in with Prismacolor Markers and added some StarDust Stickles to the hat and cupcake liner. I punched out three little flowers using a punch I picked up at Michael's a while back (in the $1 section). Then, I adhered pink rhinestones over each of the flowers.

Thanks for stopping by and I will see you back here tomorrow for WHACHADOIN' WEDNESDAY.

SUINKWWC31 - Easter Egg Hunt

Good Morning! I hope everyone is having a good week so far. It's Wednesday, which means it's time for another WHACHADOIN' WEDNESDAY CHALLENGE at Storage Units, Ink & More. This week's challenge is simple; make an Easter card. The SUINK Design Team was challenged to use the new set, YOU'RE SOME BUNNY SPECIAL. But, if you don't own this set yet, feel free to use any Easter set you do own. So, do you want to play along? If so, check out THIS post for more information. If you upload your creation to SCS, remember to use keyword SUINKWWC31.

For my card this week, I used five different stamps from the YOU'RE SOME BUNNY SPECIAL set. I also used SC218 from last week for my layout. I stamped the main image in Memento Tuxedo Black ink, colored it in with Prismacolor Markers, and paper pieced her dress. One of the things I love about the Storage Units, Ink and More sets (and there are more than one) is that most of them come with images that are just PERFECT for paper piecing. I then arranged three of the egg images on an acrylic block to create my own background for the smaller panels and again, colored those in with Prismacolor Markers. The "Easter Egg Hunt" sentiment was punched out with my Word Window Punch. The cardstock colors are Certainly Celery, So Saffron, and Bashful Blue and the patterned paper is from the Imaginisce For Peeps Sake Collection. Her bonnet wasn't complete without a couple of Ice Blue Rhinestones. I hope that you will participate in this week's challenge and get a head start on your Easter cards (if you haven't done so already). Just remember to use keyword SUINKWWC31 when uploading to SCS, so we can all take a look at your creations. Thanks so much for stopping by and I hope you all have a WONDERFUL day!

TECC58 & CC208 - Just Because

Good Morning and Happy Tuesday! I was a stamping machine this past weekend, but unfortunately I'm having issues with the software I use to edit my photos. So, I apologize for the POOR picture quality. I made this card for Taylor's Cupcake Challenge #58 and also used Color Challenge 208 (Kiwi Kiss, Chocolate Chip, and Pink Passion) and used my Petals & Stems set by Verve Stamps. The Pink Passion layer is embossed with the Cuttlebug Swiss Dots folder. I added pink rhinestones to the center of the flowers and below the sentiment and the Kiwi Kiss ribbon is from SU!.

Thanks for stopping by and I will see you back here tomorrow for WHACHADOIN' WEDNESDAY.

Baby Girl

Good Morning and TGIF!!! I'm your host today over on the Fun-Frilled Blog. We are hosting a baby shower for Miss Molly this week, so the theme is BABY GIRL. Here is a little peek at my card, but you'll have to head on over to the Fun-Frilled Blog to see it in its entirety.

I hope you'll play along with us by making your own Baby Girl card. If you do, please use keyword FUNF3 when uploading to SCS. Thanks for stopping by and I hope everyone has a WONDERFUL weekend!

I Wheely Like You

Good Morning! I hope everyone had a nice weekend. Storage Units, Ink & More released their two sets yesterday; YOU'RE SOME BUNNY SPECIAL and LET'S PLAY. You can check out the full sets and all of the adorable images they contain HERE. My card today uses the Let's Play set and Amy's Friday Sketch. I stamped the main image onto Choice Buttercream cardstock using Memento Tuxedo Black ink. I used a ruler and a fine tip black marker to create the sidewalk. Then, I masked off the sidewalk and main image and stamped the grass; which is from the You're Some Bunny Special set. I colored in the images with a combination of Prismacolor and Copic Markers.

My colors were inspired from the My Mind's Eye patterned paper I used. The cardstock colors are Yoyo Yellow, Only Orange, Prism Classic Red, and Bazzill Patina and the polka dot grosgrain ribbon is from Taylored Expressions. I hope you all like this card as much as I do, because I am really happy with the way it turned out *big grin*. Thanks for stopping by and I hope you all have a wonderful Monday!
