New Stampin' Up! projects!

Hey friends!! Hope you're having a happy weekend!! I just wanted to do a quick post to show you the AWESOME projects I made at my "Stamp Attics" meeting this morning!

The one card at the bottom uses one of the new silhouette images called "Inspired by Nature" and it's one of those tri-fold cards. I always tend to change things around or do something a little different, so this was EXCACTLY the same card, but it's my style for sure! I added some ribbon to it, distressed and sponged around the edges and added a panel of Going Grey cardstock to the back of the image so that it matched the swatch of DP I got. The flap coming open was bugging me too, so I used a piece of velcro for the closure. (I would've used a magnet, but I didn't have any!)

The other CUTE card was done with the new stamp "Flight of the Butterfly" set! I love it because it has awesome wording for the "path" the butterfly is flying! It's hard to see in the picture, but there's glitter on the wings. These are all the new In-Colors used as well as the yummy Bella Rose DP!! I also used my white gel pen for the middle of the small flowers that I stamped on the Riding Hood Red colors.

The flower that looks like it's in a pot was my favorite project!! There's actually a sucker in the middle of it with the punched out flowers glued at the top! I didn't change this one much other than adding the sentiment on the front of the pot. (The template was provided at the meeting for the pot and then you had to fold it, so I can't give you the dimensions! Sorry!) You can always have a party with your friends so you can all make one if you like it that well! Or if you'd like to get together with me, I'd be happy to show you what I did!!

The item at the left side with the ribbon is a book mark! So cute!! :) The image in the middle of the scallop square chipboard is the new "A Flower for All Seasons" stamp set! And of course the ribbon is one of the beautiful new In-Colors! I just colored it in with blender pens, added a rub-on greeting to the ribbon and attached around the chipboard with a brad. For the image, I added some Crystal Effects and a little pinch of glitter over the flowers. I also added some dots on the chipboard scallop with the white gel pen.

Hope you've enjoyed these as much as I did making them!! :) Enjoy your weekend friends!!

Stamped Dry Embossing

Hey friends!! Here's a card for you today using the "Stamped Dry Embossing" technique! For those of you that have followed me for a while, you may remember a tutorial I gave on this technique. If you've missed it or would like to see it again, then I have posted it on our brand NEW DRS Designs Blog! (Just click on the link to view the tutorial!)

For this card I have used the 2-Line Flower Design image (cut apart so that I can use each one individually if I want) and the Just a Note Sentiment from DRS Designs.

All other details about this card can be found on the other blog!! So please stop by and don't forget that we have challenges for YOU to try out every other Monday!! Hope you play along!! Have a happy Monday everyone!!

*HUGS & SMILES!*

Colors, sketches and challenges...oh my!

Whew! Is is hot & humid over here!! Great day to stay in and stamp!! And if you are stamping today, I hope you try out some of these great challenges going on!! It may not look like it, but I've incorporated SERVERAL challenges on this card! All images used on this card are by DRS Designs. There is today's SCS Color Challenge using ONLY the In-Colors (the ones soon to be retired!) and neutrals! I used white, black, Groovy Guava & River Rock on this card. I colored in the Flower/Butterfly Combo image with the same colors as well. I used a rhinestone brad in the middle of the flower and applied stickles to the butterflies. I also distressed the edges of this panel and then attached it to a black panel.

I also used more inchies for the DRS Design Blog Challenge to use inchies! I incorporated my inchies with the CPS sketch and I also used an inchie to make this a thank you card for the Stamp Something Challenge Blog! The inchies along the edge were cut in half to fit with the sketch. I stamped the Interlocking Flower BG image on the white inchies as well as the River Rock inchie with River Rock ink and then stamped the Small Thank You image in black over top of that. I also used this same image to stamp the River Rock panel behind the main flower image. I used the 1 1/4" punch for a layer behind my inchies and popped up the "Thank You!" inchie with pop dots. I also had some Groovy Guava double stitched ribbon to wrap around the River Rock panel.

I hope you enjoyed my card for today as I had fun making it with all these challenges in mind!! Now off to post my card and make some comments!! I've been stalking the mail man and UPS trucks for the last couple of days as I've been waiting on my brand new catty to arrive!! So if it gets quiet on here all of the sudden, you'll know why!! :)

Hope you all have a fun day creating friends!!

**Don't forget to comment as many times as you feel you need for the above blog candy!! I'm so thrilled reading everyone's comments!! Thanks again for that and I REALLY appreciate you spreading the word around!**

Flower Power punched!

I have to tell you that I've been sooo very excited about the great news coming from all demos at the Stampin' Up! convention!! A friend of mine sent me a picture over the phone and I got inspired to start creating! This flower is actually made with the 5-petal flower punch! It's not my idea, but I saw on SCS which led me to a blog and I honestly don't remember the location of the blog now, otherwise I would surely give her credit! (So if you're reading this, please speak up!) It's easier than it looks too!! I used the boho flower punch for the middle Apricot Appeal color. I used two punched out 5-petal flowers and just attached them. For the others, I punched a hole with a pin in the middle of four other punched out flowers, sponged them with Chocolate Chip ink and then snipped out each flower petal up to the pin hole mark and glued them on the back of the flower. Obviously, you can make the flower as big as you want, but I just used 6 punched out flowers all together to make this one. I put a rhinestone brad in the middle and attachd the whole flower to a white square and glued it on a Bashful Blue card. and THAT'S all!

I added some yummy chocolate taffeta ribbon and one of the awesome sentiments from the up-coming New Catalog stamp sets called "Heard from the Heart". You can barely see in the picture, but I also used the circle from the "One of a Kind" stamp set and stamped it with White Craft ink all over the BG.

I'm so excited about the news and the up-coming catalog!! I can't wait until mine gets here and I can't wait to share everything with you!!

Please be sure to sign up for my blog candy give away (above post) if you haven't done so already and if you already have, you can make another comment!! I have really enjoyed listening to everyone's comments!! You are all so very kind!! THANK YOU friends!!

Have a wonderful fun weekend!! *HUGS & SMILES!*

**Edited to add: Thanks so much to my friend Lynn for pointing out where this tutorial came from!! Here's the person who came up with this really neat tutorial on how to make these flowers: Stacey's 5-Petal Flower Punch Tutorial And I would like to thank her for the great tutorial! If you would like to try one of these out...be sure to visit the link to see her tutorial!**

Save the Earth!! Sneak Peeks!

I've been scanning the DRS Designs website and haven't seen these brand new images put in there yet, but I was told they would be available today! So...just wanted to get you psyched up for the up-coming new images!!

If you've been reading my blog then you are familar with me "stamping" my backgrounds. Don't get me wrong...I *heart* DP and lots of it!! But there are many times where I like to stamp my backgrounds with images because you can create your own DP (sometimes!) These new background images that DRS has come out with are just perfect for that!

The sentiment is also a newly released image! I wasn't sure what to do with the sentiment, but when I saw the heart BG image, I knew what I had to do!! And I love chocolate!!lol!

Here's another creation with the flower BG image!! This and the "Hello" sentiment are both newly released images!! The flower I stamped and cut out in the corner was from the 2 line Flower Design that you've probably seen me use before. It goes perfect with this new background flower image!! I have been wanting to do something for forever with these gingham brads that I have and I thought it worked perfect with this card! I just added some faux stitching around the edges of the pink panel and used stickles on the big flower. I popped up the sentiment panel and then popped up the flower on top of that.

Now...are you ready to buy these new images that I've shown you?!

Check them out under NEW RELEASES as soon as they post them!

Thanks for taking the time to stop by today friends!!

One of a Kind grid sketch

I was ready to do some challenges today!! I love this DP from Stampin' Up! and I haven't had a chance to really use this One of a Kind stamp set so much, so I pulled them out to use!

The challenges I did for today was the TLC Grid Challenge on SCS today! You can click on the link which will take you to place where you can view the tutorial on how to do it. You have to look closely at the pink card BG to see the lines, but they are there & it looks awesome IRL! Love how it just adds so much texture to the cardstock!

The other challenge is another brand new NMBS Group Challenge! I can't believe we are already up to five challenges now! This week is a wonderful sketch provided by one of our members! It's very cool and I see so many possibilities with it! You can play along too if you want! Just up-load your card to your blog or SCS gallery with the keywords: NMBS05 and link it back to the challenge post so that we can all comment on your creation!!

Thanks for stopping by today!! I will have more creations coming your way soon!!

Sliders selling like HOTCAKES!!

I was getting ready to send out my next batch of cards for DRS Designs when Samantha told me that the ribbon slide images are selling like hotcakes & she needed batches of cards with me using them....I got right to work and here's what I came up with:

First, I just LOVE this Big Girl Panties sentiment!! I used some chalk over the "Big Girl" wording to make it stand out. I used my coluzzle to make the half oval shape on the side. I stamped the Open Plaid stripes on it to give it a little something and then distressed the edges with a vanilla ink pad. The BG wording is done with the You Go Girl! sentiment. I used some yummy silk chocolate ribbon to run through the stamped Oval Swirl Ribbon Slide image that was stamped in chocolate ink and cut out. I just wrapped the edges of ribbon around the panel and attached to front of card. I also added some stickles to the front of the ribbon slide.

Here's another card with a neutrel theme. I used Close to Cocoa, Creamy Caramel and vanilla for the colors on this card. The ribbon is more of a chocolate gingham color. All I did was use the Single Flower Ribbon Slide in three different colors for the BG at the top of the card. I then stamped, colored and cut out the ribbon slide for the gingham to slip through. But what I also did (as in the card above) is put a pop dot under the flower with the ribbon to pop it up a bit. Then I just added my sentiment at the bottom. Quick and easy card! Wait, but there's ONE more set.....

I used several different images on this one. I wanted to create my own BG with different images, so I pulled out a bunch of different ones to see what I could come up with. The card itself is using the Barely Banana color and I distressed the edges with the Barely Banana ink pad. I used the Butterfly Ribbon Slide image and inked it up with black Staz On, colored it in and cut it out. I used some pink taffeta ribbon to slide it through and attached to the front of the card. For the left side panel, I used Perfect Plum cardstock and stamped the Just because... sentiment in the same color. I also used "just" the circles from the 2 line Flower Designs image and stamped it in white on the panel. You can't see too well in the picture, but I also went over it with the butterfly image in Pretty in Pink ink to make a collage look out of it. Then of course, I used the Vertical Just Because image on the right side of the card. I really like these sliders because you can color them ANY color you want and you can use them for stamping an image as well as using it for it's purpose as a ribbon slider! No wonder they're selling like hot cakes! Have you got your ribbon slider yet?! I'll be back later with some more fun stamping guys! And I also need to find out what my other stamping friends are up to as well!! Thanks for stopping by!! Enjoy your day!! *HUGS & SMILES!*

Green Thumb

OK, I don't have a "green thumb" as I tend to kill every plant I've every owned! I love them mind you, but I can't keep them alive at all!

So I guess I'll just stick with stamping them and coloring them in!! They only need to be watered ONCE for that! hehe!

This is another beautiful image by DRS Designs. I obviously used shades of green for this card and a subtle leaf branch for the BG. I'm really into the shading around my images now. I think it just looks better and it doesn't make the image appear to be dangling in the white air! The layout is a weird thing...I was walking by a card I had done last year (why it's still sitting around, I don't know!) and thought it was a neat layout idea, so I used it on this card, only I flipped it around. So don't throw away those old cards you have!! They are actually good for something!! teehee! This card reminds me to go "plant a note" on someone you love! Try it out this weekend and see if you can make someone smile! :)

I was getting itchy to find out who the new Design Team member is going to be for our DRS Designs!! So I asked Samantha and she said they are adding more than ONE!! Woohoo! I can't wait to find out who it is, but they have until July 21st to finalize everything! Sheesh! You all MUST be good, that's all I can say! Good luck to whoever applied!! Samantha said that she would keep me posted, so watch for more details next month!! Thanks for stopping by friends!! Have a wonderful weekend!! *HUGS & SMILES!*

Black & White with touches of Pink Passion!

I really like how this turned out!! This card was done for the N.M.B.S. Group Challenge! I am a new member of the "Nimbees Group"!! Go check out lots of samples from our talented group! We come up with a new challenge every Sunday! You are more than welcome to try out any of the challenges by leaving a comment with a link to your blog or SCS gallery so that we can check it out and leave a comment for you!



Be sure to check out the N.M.B.S. Group blog THIS Sunday (June 22) when I host my very first challenge!! I'm excited to be a part of this group! They are a fun bunch of gals!



If you'd like more deets on this card, come check it out HERE on the blog! Hope to see you around!

Amazing Grace

WOW! Aren't these such pretty flowers?! These are some recent images I received from my last DRS Designs batch! I used a Barely Banana folded card for this design. I have the Single Flower Blossom for the BG in the card with the same color of ink. I also stamped this image again with Black Staz On and colored it in for the accent in the corner. I then stamped the Amazing Grace sentiment on top of the flowered BG. The Flower Blossom Border was stamped on Vanilla CS with Black Staz On ink. I colored in the blossoms with my fav watercolor crayons! (I think I need to do a tutorial as I've heard so many people have problems liking them! So be watching for this soon!!) I used a strip of Bashful Blue behind the blossom border and for a punched out photo corner in the upper top. I layered another punched photo corner on top of that and then popped out my single colored in blossom with dimensionals! If you look at the blue strip border, you'll see that I used my crafter's tool kit to pierce some faux sewing lines on each end to give it a little something something. I've also placed a little stickles sparkle in the middle of each flower after I colored it in with a Barely Banana marker. I thought that this would make a really nice sympathy card. I never seem to have one ready when I need it, so I've decided to sit down and make a handful of them at once so that I have them when needed! I'll have to post them when I get them done for you! Just so know...I haven't been slacking at ALL on my stamping, just my posting!! :) I've been making baby cards, over 60 of them to be exact and welcome cards as well as thank yous! I find it always easier to make a big batch of cards rather than one here or there, don't you? Well, I don't think I'm going to "get out" of the remodeling for much longer now...so I better go help my hubby! He's been working so hard! My boys are helping him though, so that's plus that they are old enough to do that! hehehe! Thanks for stopping by today all!! Hope you are having a beautiful weekend as the weather is so gorgeous outside over here!! :) *HUGS & SMILES!*

A Sneak Peek!!

Would you like to take a peek at some FUN I've been having?! June 1st Stampin' Up! is releasing a brand new stamp set from the up-coming Idea Book & Catalog! There are awesome note cards to go with it as well!! If you'd like to see more information about this special promotion click HERE! In the meantime...to whet your appetite, I thought I'd show you a sample with the diecut notecards and some images!

To tell you a little bit about this card, I stamped the large image over top of the die cut note card in pumpkin pie ink. I then removed the diecut petals from it. I used the 5-Petal Flower punch to punch out a ballet blue flower and attached it *behind* the diecut on the inside of the card. I also added a pumpkin pie felt flower from the Accents & Elements Tin and put a rhinestone brad in the middle of it. Added my greeting at the bottom in ballet blue and stamped a few images on the envelope...that was it!! I can't believe the results from this stamp set! I absolutely LOVE it!! So if THIS didn't make you look forward to June or a preview of what's to come in the NEW catalog...then I don't know what will!! If you'd like more information about this June promotion, book your own fun day with the girls or just to find out when the catalog is coming out, shoot me an email! (dvparson@comcast.net) I'd love to chat with you! Thanks so much for stopping by!! Hope you all are enjoying your weekend!!

Emerging Color tutorial...wow!

Hey hey whatta say?! Should I leave you with a tutorial today so that you have something to play with this weekend? OK...no votes, I say YES! And if you live anywhere near where I am, then you'll know that this weekend with the exception of Saturday is going to be rainy! Today is a great day to stamp as it's cold and rainy here in West Central IL! This is unusual for us during the end of May which is close to summer already... Can you believe? Today, I was riffling through my SU! demo magazine and came across this awesome technique that I thought I'd share with you all on how to do! Here's what you'll need:

*A piece of Ultrasmooth cardstock

*image stamps (solid or outlined)

*Large solid shaped image (Circle from Big Pieces shown here.)

* dark & light colored inks

*VersaMark

*clear EP

*Brayer

Step 1:

Take your darker colored ink (Purely Pomegrante here) and take your image(s) to create an "all over" design on your ultrasmooth piece of cardstock.

Step 2:

Next, you will take the large solid image stamp and ink it up in VersaMark and stamp it over top of the design you've created. You can stamp once for a spotlight effect or a couple of times. (I stamped mine twice here.)

Step 3:

Then you will immediately sprinkle clear EP over the VersaMarked image(s) and remove excess to heat it up with the heat gun.

Step 4:

After you've embossed the images and it's cooled down a bit, you are ready to ink up your brayer with the solid attachment in LIGHT colored ink. (Pretty in Pink is shown here.) Keep going back and forth over the entire piece of cardstock until you have the desired color intensity.

Step 5:

After you've brayered your color on, the last thing you need to do is take a tissue to wipe off the excess ink over the embossed areas. As you can see....it's a wow!! It really spotlights the images. You are now ready to finish your card!

~Here's how I finished up my piece! I really LOVE how this turned out. I added some layers to it for dimension, ribbon across the side, a greeting and it comes complete with a nice big boho flower! The images I used for this card came from the One of a Kind stamp set. I added touches of color and glitter to the flower and that's it!

Hope you've enjoyed today's tutorial! Please come back tomorrow as I have a special SNEAK PEEK to show you! Happy Friday!! *HUGS & SMILES!*

Mint Flower on a Stick tutorial!

So glad to have my computer back again!! It was missing for a while being worked on as I had no sound...I can hear now!! It's amazing!! I was also experiencing a glitch in my subscription service and I think I may have lost a large number of people who've subscribed to my blog. **I do not know if you're getting the updated posts or not, but if you would like to MAKE SURE you're receiving my updates, please re-subscribe to my blog on the LEFT side.** I have changed email update services. So the one you normally receive will not be available any longer. Thanks so much! Now onto the tutorial I promised!!

This idea is so cute and quick and easy for a treat idea! I was thinking maybe a teacher would love receiving a pot full of these! Here are the supplies you will need to make the "Mint Flower on a Stick":

The Scallop circle punch (I already punched out two Tempting Turquoise ~ You will need TWO punched out scallops for this.)

The 1 3/8" circle punch

The 1 1/4" circle punch

The 1/2" circle punch

Some white & other coordinating colored card stock (I just use my scraps for this)

A Popsicle stick

A peppermint patty chocolate

Coordinating ink(s)

Dimensionals (not pictured here)

Step 1:

I started out by stamping an image from the Big Pieces set. I also stamped another smaller image in Tempting Turquoise ink from the Little Pieces stamp set.

Step 2:

I then punched out BOTH circles the Big Pieces image with the large 1 3/8" circle punch and this smaller Little Pieces image with the 1/2" circle punch.

* Remember that two scallop circles were already punched out as well from Tempting Turquoise cardstock.*

Step 3:

For a little dimension, I used some (Whatta know?!) Dimensionals!! I put one in the center of the small Little Pieces image that I will be layering onto the bigger circles shown below.

Step 4:

After attaching the stamped Big Pieces image to one of the turquoise scalloped circle, I put the dimensional small circle over top of that.

Step 5:

As you can see, all you do next is put some adhesive on the back of BOTH the scallop circles and attach it to your chocolate peppermint candy! YUMMY!!

Step 6:

Ok...after you've already ate a few of the chocolate mints (he he!!), You will take the popsicle stick and insert it into the sandwiched candy. Now it's really starting to look like a flower! Just one final step!

Step 7:

Have you ever made leaves with a circle?! Here's all you do: Punch out a circle. I used the 1 1/4" punch here. As you can see in the picture, you only punch out a side portion of the circle to make it look like a leaf! Then use the other side of the circle to punch out another one.

It look something like this. Just discard the left over circle and then add adhesive to one edge of each leaf and attach them to the popsickle stick for leaves on the flower! (See finished sample below).

Here is the finished sample!! I think the leaves add a nice touch to it, don't you?! Of course, you can always add more touches to it if you wish, but I wanted to give you the short "sweet" version of it!! Hope you have enjoyed the tutorial for today!! Try one out soon! Thanks for stopping by!! *HUGS & SMILES!*

Am I Missing in Action?

First, I must apologize for the scarce posting. With my show Saturday, Mother's Day on Sunday and the "To-Do" list being very long for this week, it seems my time runs out quickly! I do want to share what I've been up to though:

I have made up lots of cards for DRS. They take a look at them and then ask me to create a handful of the designs they've picked out that they'd like duplicates of. I've posted a couple of them already, but here are a few that I haven't posted. I've made five of each of this design! I absolutely LOVE this image! I don't know if you can see it in the picture, but the butterfly's wings has some stickles added to it. I used the Watercolor Crayons to color in the image. The BG was stamped with the butterfly slider image. And I thought it would be neat to distress the edges of the stamped panel and then make some faux stitching around the plum panel.

Here's another set I completed using the adorable snail and flower image with this. I colored the snail in separately and then popped him up and added some stickles to his shell. I love this sentiment too! I made a set of three of these. These are really wonderful Spring/flower type images!! Go check them out!!

Still have more sets to show you....be right back!!

Look Ma! No Stamps!

OK...so I HAD to do a challenge today too! (er challengeS, I guess!) I've pretty much combined ALL the challenges this week from SCS with the exception of the technique Monday challenge! This is the color, sketch, Way to Use It and Limited Supply challenges!! (FOUR!) And it was really easy to put together because the rule for the Limited Supplies was no stamps!! This is all chipboard (Ways to Use It challenge) and rub-ons! I used a flower chipboard and covered it with Pretty in Pink DP, sanded the edges. I used a circle chipboard and covered it with celery glitter and popped it out a little on the flower. I used the sketch to make the circles and main layout for this card and then for the wording a few extras, I used some rub-ons. Very fast and easy card to put together. So...if you're running out of time, don't have the right colors of ink or stamps....DON'T USE ANY!!! Hope you all have a fantasic weekend and thanks so much for taking the time to stop by!! *HUGS & SMILES!*

Diorama bamma!

Never completed one of these before! You can find the awesome tutorial for it on SCS! It is so much easier than it actually looks. And I'm still on a Mother's Day kick...so I made it "For Mother". Talk about your untraditional Mother's Day card! What's really cool about it, is that you can fold it down and it will fit into one of those long note envelopes!! I've always liked those pop-up books when I was a kid and it was cool to bring that back to life again in my stamping! The color combination I received from scrapitude SU! colors! This is the Ronald McDonald stamp set from Stampin' Up! called Just Like You. I love the flowers in it. I also used the matching DP that goes with this set called Flowers For You. It's the purple for the middle layer. What's also fun about this type of card is that you can really use your dimensionals to pop up your cut outs!! What a neat card for a mom to receive that she can leave set up on her table or desk!! Thanks for stopping by today!! Have a beautiful Spring day!! *smiles & hugs*

Seeing Spots?

Just wondering if you're seeing spots too?! Today's Limited Supply Challenge was to use circles!! I thought that was easy enough to do..so I decided to make just ONE more card for today! I used the Seeing Spots stamp set to make this one. Love this set! It's very versatile! I've popped up the flower and the celery circle. I made scallops with my slit punch and then used my 1/4" circle punch for decoration. It was a very quick and easy card to put together. If you haven't yet, please stop and comment above for your chance to win the blog candy pictured above! You have until tomorrow at noon (CST) to post a comment! Good luck to you and have an excellent weekend all!!

Mother's May Flowers

Yes, I'm still here!! Sorry I've been absent for a couple of days, but I was having trouble even logging into blogger!! Don't know what that was all about, but hopefully that won't happen again! I had a little bit of time to do some stamping today and I'd thought I'd share it with you! I caught up on some of the SCS challenges that I didn't get done this week including this one for the sketch, Color Combo, and the Ways to Use It challenges all on one card! For the colors, I used Basic Black, Purely Pomegrante and Soft Sky. For the ways to use it challenge, we were supposed to use some type of "ruffles" on our card. I put a strip of black cardstock through the crimper and layered some soft sky ribbon over top of it to make it look like ruffles underneath it. It's hard to tell in the picture and I couldn't take a good close up of it with my camera, but it's there! I popped out the big flower from Bud Basics stamp set and layered it on the ovals. I also stamped some smaller flowers on the oval white panel and along the side of the card in soft sky ink. The middle of the flower was stamped with the end of a pencil eraser in soft sky ink. This was a really fun tall card to do...I had fun with it.

Flowers and a sale for you!!

Since I was going to post today, I really wasn't going to do the Color Challenge today either, but these colors were calling to me, so I pulled out some of my Prickley Pear images! Please stop by to click on the Prickley Pear link because they are having a FANTASIC sale on unmounted images at 40% off!! (Just click on the sales ad from the home page to see all the images. Hurry!! It only lasts for 10 days!) The imges I used here are from the sale menu!! I think this flower is so pretty for Spring! The sentiment frame is one of the images too!

The colors used on this card are Chocolate Chip, Certainly Celery and Pretty in Pink. I stamped the flower image with Chocolate Chip and colored it in with pastels. I also used some stickles to cover some of the petals which really makes it stand out! I'm absolutely in love with that silk ribbon!! It's so easy to make bows that actually look OK! The frame was stamped in celery and cut out. I stamped the sentiment in the middle and added some pink brads to the ends. Thanks for stopping by! Have a great day!! Hugs & smiles!! :)

The Latest Buzz...

Hello everyone! I was going to post today, but it's certainly a Spring rain out this morning, so I thought I'd make good use of my time and stamp! These are some more of the latest images from DRS Designs! I just LOVE this little bee dude!! I don't know if you can see in this picture, but I've added some stickles to his wings which REALLY makes him sparkle! :) He also fits perfect with my circle punches, so I was thrilled about that! I am falling in love with their new spring images! They are such fun to color in! I've colored mine in with watercolor crayons of course!! :)
