Dottie's World-I Need Flowers!

Hello and Happy Mother's Day!

This week Gunn is hosting the Dottie's World challenge, and she wants us to add flowers to our card. :o) Easy...cause I LOVE adding flowers/using floral patterned paper!

So I used one of my favorite charmed downloads from the Holly & Madison World Tour-Madison in France and you can get it HERE.

Maddy is colored in with copics of course. :o)

Paper is Green at Heart by Basic Grey...and so are all the little die cut flowers, and the journal box.

The sentiment is Close To My Heart

The rhinestone swirls are Me & My Big Ideas

That's pretty much it....I'm off to Mother's Day brunch with LOTS of family.

I'm looking forward to relaxing and enjoying the morning.

Have a fabby Sunday and if you are in Canada-have a fabby Mother's Day!

Oh and make sure you check out the Dottie's World Challenge blog to see what all the other designer's came up with for this challenge.

Dottie's World-All Sewn Up!

Hello and Happy Sunday. :o)

Sorry about the long time since my last post....life has gotten crazy...well a little more crazy than usual. PLus the weather here has been quite crazy which has caused me to suffer several migraines....I even had the pleasure of experiencing the aura...which was not very pleasant!

But I'm feeling better now and took a half day off "work" today to work on this card.

This week I'm hosting the Dottie's World challenge and I want to see some stitching-faux/machine, hand are all fine, and also include a Charmed Download as well. I just love the look and feel of machine stitching on cards....it makes the cards feel so heavy and finishes them off beautifully....it realy makes a beautiful card....stunning.

I used the Holly in England image form the Holly/Madison World Tour collection, and you can get it HERE. I love this image-it reminds me of my friend Jody. :o)

I colored Holly in with my copics....and wow was it great to use my copics again-two weeks is toooo long to neglect my little "friends".

The paper I used is a special kit from Close to My Heart called The Miracle kit, and it is only available during the month of May 2010.

The ribbon, sentiment and tag are also CTMH

The pearl flourishes are from Prima....love them to pieces!

I think that's about it.

Make sure you check out the Dottie's World challenge blog to see what the other designer's came up with HERE

Thanks for stopping by,

Have a great day!

Hello and Happy Easter Sunday!

We are off to church this morning to celebrate the resurrection of Christ-rejoice!

And then out for brunch and then off to Nana and Opa's for an Easter Egg Hunt. I'm looking forward to all the children getting dolled up in their Sunday best outfits. Time for pictures and celebrating. :o)

What do you do on Easter Sunday?

Well it's also my turn to host the Dottie's World Challenge for this week. I decided to do something Spring like and ask for 3d butterfly embellishments. I can't wait to see what everyone comes up with!

I made my butterflies using the new SU! embossed sizzlit....love it! So very pretty.

The Charmed Download I used is from the latest collection called Sugar and Spice-you can get it HERE

Dottie's World-Handmade Flowers

Hello and Happy Sunday... once again. I missed the last couple of Dottie's World challenges because I was in Oklahoma with my sister, and just couldn't pull it together to get my cards done before I left. No matter how organized I try to get, I always feel DiSOrgaNized! :o)

Anyways, this week at Dottie's World Adele is hosting the challenge. This is what she asked for:

"Hi everyone, Adele here and it's my turn to set the challenge this week. With spring (hopefully) in the air I want you to think:
Paper Roses...............
or daffs, or tulips....you get the picture? BUT I don't want to see any pre-made flowers please - only die cuts, punched flowers or any flower/s you have made from scratch on your creations this week please. The only other limitation is that a Charmed Download MUST be used....but that is no limitation at all is it, there is so much to choose from! LOL
Don't forget the blog candy over on my own blog too.....it could be you who wins yourself a freebie Charmed Download of your choice!
Looking forward to seeing all your bloomers!!!!!!"

I made my flower by using the Sizzix Layered Flowers Die. I just cut it a couple of times with different papers and then crumpled up the flowers so they would have some dimension.

LOVED this challenge-so much fun!

I also love Digi-images. :o) I love being able to make the images any size I wish. The possibilities become endless. For this card I used Madison In France and you can get her HERE

I cropped her and made her bigger than usual and I just love the result!

I colored her in with my copics (bg11/bg32/bg34 gy03/gy13 and my pink favorites: r81/r83/r85)

I also used my glue pen to add some White Prisma Glitter to her French Tam.
The paper is BRAND SPANKIN' NEW! It's Crate Paper: Paper Doll Collection and it is adorable. It comes in a kit that includes lots of double sided matching paper and two sheets of coordinating stickers! LOVE it!

The sentiment "love you much" is SU! and you can get it HERE

I free handed the "babe" hate my hand writing, but was too lazy to get my alphabet stamps out!

I think that's about all for now.

The weather is starting to get nice and the green grass is slowly started to peak through...aaahhhhh spring at last! :o)

By for now!

Truly Scrumptious Challenge #28-Quilted Background

Hello and Happy Wednesday. :o)

I made this card last week for this week's Truly Scrumptious challenge #28.

I'm actually in Oklahoma this week with my sister...she's on spring break.

This week's challenge is another fabby sketch, with the added challenge of a quilted background. I really wanted to machine stitch each square but I'm having problems with my swing machine. :o(

Here is the fabby sketch:

The paper is brand new from Close To My Heart-Top Stitched. Isn't is adorable? Ribbon is Heavenly Blue CTMH.

The image and sentiment stamps are also Close To My Heart. The paper flowers are also brand new and Close To My Heart. Love them!

The bling is Prima and the fabby felt flowers are SU!

I think thats about it for now. Make sure you head over to the TS blog to see what all the other designer's came up with!

Dottie's World Challenge-Pastel or Bright

Hello and Happy Sunday!

This week at Dottie's World Adele is hosting and she wants us to either go pastel colors or bright colors....and of course use a Charmed Download.

I knew right away that I was going to use this new paper from My Mind's Eye! I LOVE this new paper collection-Quite Contrary.. the only thing that bugs me is that there are virtually no solid sheets....and I couldn't find ANY CS to match with it; which make layering really challenging. But besides that....I love this paper-it's so cute and fun-and so fresh and springy-exactly what I feel like right now. :o}

I used the "Windy Day" Charmed Download from the Sugar & Spice collection-and you can get it HERE. I colored the image in with my copics. The R20's match really nicely with this paper. I used a combination of R20/R22/R24 & R27 for the red/pink colors.

I used my fave glitter on the kite-Doodlebug Chunky Glitter, I also added a bit of star dust stickles to the kite ribbons.

Make sure you check out the Dottie's World Challenge blog to see what the other designer's created. Also, Adele is offering some blog candy that is tied in with this week's challenge...so make sure you pop on over there to check it out....HERE

I think that's about it for now.

I'm going to Oklahoma to visit with my sister next week-for a week; so I'm hoping to get all my design work done and my blog posts scheduled so I don't have to miss any challenges.

Happy Stamping!

TRuly Scrumptious Challenge #27-Good Enough to Eat!

Hello and Happy Wednesday!

This week for the Truly Scrumptious Challenge #27, we have a yummy sketch, by the talented Dawn and the added challenge of "good enough to eat!"

Easy peasy! I LOVE adding cupcakes and cakes to my cards!

First here is the sketch for this challenge:

I used one of my old time faves-Giggling Tilda. You can get her from Magnolia-licious.

The paper and ric rac are brand new My Mind's Eye-Quite Contrary. Yummy!

The pearl flourishes are Basic Grey

Half back pearls and crochet flowers are CTMH

The cake plate, cupcake and sentiment are Darcie stamps. So yummy and fun!

I first stamped Tilda, and then I made a mask of her and then stamped the cake plate over part of Tilda {with the mask firmly in place with repositional tombow adhesive}

Then I used the out of the box technique with my nesties so Tilda's sweet head can pop up above the frame.

I also airbrushed the backgrounds. So fun!

Make sure you pop on over to the Truly Scrumptious blog to see what the other designer's created!

Thanks for stopping by today!

Destress With Some Distressing

Hello and Happy Stamping!

I am hosting this week's Dottie's World and I have asked for some distressing on your card, along with a charmed download of course. :o)

For this card I used Holly In The Garden and you can get it HERE

I colored Holly in with my copics.

The paper is brand new My Mind's Eye from the Quite Contrary Collection-Mary Mary and so is the LUSH ribbon. I am loving this new collection from MME....it's so yummy! Especially the new line of ribbons-sooooo yummy and lush!

For my distressing I used my Close To My Heart Edge Distresser

It's super affordable and so effective.

Everything is pretty much the same as usual...:oP

Have a Fabby Sunday-make sure you take some time for yourself !

And check out the Dottie's World blog to see what all the other designer's came up with for this week's "Distressed Out" challenge!

Thanks for stopping by,

You're too kind

Hello and Happy Stamping!

I actually squeezed in a card midweek this week! Crazy! The last few months I've been barely getting my design team work done.....it's nice to be able to find a few extra hours to make an extra card.

Anyways, I started making this card for some design work due next week...but I kept tweeking the sketch until I finally ended up with a card that was a little too far from the original sketch.

Love this Tilda image! I got it from the Magnolia-licious site HERE...it really is the best place to get these adorable images! I colored Tilda in with my copics.

The cupcake is from a set I purchased from my LSS-with my 35% off coupon...gotta LOVE those! The set is called Big Cake Set and it is A Darcies Stamp set....check them out HERE

I colored in the cupcake with Copics and then I added some chunky doodlebug sugar coating to it-yummy!

The paper is We R Memory Keepers-Twirl

The sentiment is SU! And if you are from Canada you can get it HERE. Shelly is a good friend of mine that I've know for a couple of decades and she is a SU! demonstrator.

I made a mask for Tilda and then airbrushed the background.

The nestie shape is BRAND NEW...and I love it! It's called the Big Scalloped Square-I have both the small and large size sets. The new 2010 spring spellbinders are so awesome-can't wait to save up my $ and get some more!

The flowers are prima and the brads are basic grey.

I found some new bling flourishes at Michael's Craft store-they are a bit cheaper than the prima brand. They are Michael's brand-Recollections. The flourishes are actually perfect for cards because the swirls are smaller-very easy to cut up. I also was able to use a coupon on them-I think it was 30% off my entire purchase so they were less than a 1.50 each! Yummy!

Thanks for stopping by today...have a nice day!

Dottie's World Challenge-It's a Small Thing

Hello and Happy Sunday. :o)

I worked really hard this weekend trying to get ahead on all my design work. aaahhhhh feels good to get ahead for once!

This week Lou set the challenge over at Dottie's World...

here is what she asked for:

"Hello Folks, Louise here,

This week I want you to think small, I'd like you to use your Charmed download on a project that is smaller than that which you would normally make.
I won't give any specific dimensions,just think dinky (small :)).......This should be fun!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!I'll look forward to seeing what you come up with xxxx"

Okay so I tried to go really really really small but it was hard to use my copics on super small images. So I made my card 4x4...which is a lot smaller than my normal 6x6. :o) I hope that works Lou!

The Charmed Download image I used is from the Sugar & Spice collection and you can get it HERE.

I opened the image in Photoshop and then I cropped it (without saving) around the flower part of the image. Then I printed it and used my sizzix/nesties to cut it out in a circle shape.

I also made a mask and then airbrushed a sky background with my airbrush system....LOVE LOVE LOVE my airbrush system!

The paper is October Afternoon-Farm Fresh. I picked it up yesterday at my LSS-they are clearing out a bunch of their paper to make room for new stuff. I got some great deals on paper!

The flower is prima and so is the bling flourish.

The brads are Basic Grey

I made the sentiment on my computer with the font :"Baby Bowser". I printed it off onto vellum paper.

I think that's about it for now-thanks for stopping by. Make sure you head over to the Dottie's World Challenge blog to see what my fellow designer's came up with for this challenge.

Bye for now,

Dottie's World Challenge-Hearts

Hello and Happy Thursday!

Well, I'm several days late posting this card. I hate that I've been late with a few challenges lately. Life has been extremely hectic lately...and unfortunately anything that has anything to do with {{me}} comes second/third/fourth/fifith.....

cry, cry sniffle sniffle.

Anyways, Gunn, my bloggin/designer friend is hosting this week's DW challenge and she wants us to add hearts to our card, and add some doodling; along with a charmed download.

It's late...but it's completed!

I made this card for my 14 year old daughter who is returning home this evening from a four day school trip...her first time away from home. I can't wait to see her at the airport tonight!!!

I used Holly on the High Street and you can get her HERE

I colored her in with my copics.

I used Basic Grey-Sugar Rush paper-LOTS of hearts on there!!

The cut outs and brads are also BG-Sugar Rush

Paper flowers and bling are prima

The sentiment is from the $1.50 bin at Michael's....gotta love those!

For the doodling part...the paper had LOTS of doodling on it so I hope that counts-I'm so terrible at free handing-I didn't want to mess up my card. :o}

Thanks for stopping by and make sure you check out the other designer's cards HERE for inspiration!

I colored her in with my copics.

Hello and Happy Sunday!

This week I'm hosting the Dottie's World Challenge. I decided to do something fun for the upcoming holiday...Valentine's Day!

I want to see Valentine Day cards, along with a charmed download of course. :o)

I used this sweet image from the Dottie's Love and Marriage Collection, you can get it HERE.

I colored the image in with copic.

I also used my airbrush system for the background.

Paper is Basic Grey-Sugar Rush, so are the buttons, brads and die cuts.

The "Be Mine" sentiment is CTMH-stamped in Tulip.

I also added a bit of Prima Bling.

Make sure you head on over to the Dottie's World Challenge blog to see what the other designer's came up with.

The heart charm/buttons and ribbon are all from The Truly Scrumptious Crafts

The Congratulations sentiment is CTMH-stamped in Sweet Leaf ink

Dottie's World Challenge-I can See Clearly now!

Hello and Happy Sunday!

This week the Dottie's World Challenge is hosted by the very sweet and talented Adele & she wants us to SEE CLEARLY :o)

She wants us to use some type of acetate on our cards.

I have a whole box of unused overhead projector pages that I used to use for work...you know-before .........Power Point!

Anyways, I dug them out of the back of my storage closet and was happy to put them to use once again!

I stamped some swirls (Magnolia background stamp)-with my SU! white stazon ink. Wow-when you get that pad inked up well-it works perfect! And it dries super fast!

And if you make a mistake you can clean off your acetate with some stazon cleaner. :o)

I had to make a card for an associate who just had a baby girl.....about 6 months ago. :oP.

Yeah I'm super late but she lives in Vancouver so I don't get to see her much.

I used one of Dottie's images form the Love and Marriage collection-you can get it HERE.

I colored in the sweet pea with my copics.

The sparkle brads are SU!

Paper is BoBUnny Love Bandit...love this new paper collection but I've been having trouble matching up my copic colors to it. :o(

The "congrats" sentiment is MFT

The "it's a girl" sentiment is CTMH....both stamped in CTMH Tulip ink

The name plate is CTMH

The ribbon is from Michael's Craft Store.

I think that's about it.

Make sure you check out the DW blog HERE to see what the other designer's came up with.

Thanks for stopping by and have a fabby Sunday!

Dottie's World Challenge-Leaf It!

Hello and Happy Sunday!

It has been one crazy week...I just can't believe it is already Sunday..AGAIN!

Well it's another Dottie's World Challenge.

This week Lou is hosting and this is what she wants:

"Are you all tired of seeing cold bare trees? I sure am so this week I want you all to encourage spring to come early! I want to see leaves on your creations. They could be paper ones, fabric ones stamped or even real ones! The only other rule is that you use a Charmed download :) You have until next sunday to make your beautiful creations and leave us a link."

So I decided to make a card using one of my favorite Charmed Download Characters-Holly...well I'll take Holly or Madison any day! :o) They are both so sassy!

You can get Holly Hipster HERE

The paper is Basic Grey-Sugar Rush, so are the red brads.

The cut outs are also Basic Grey-Sugar Rush....gotta love those cardstock stickers that come in the Basic Grey paper kits! I used 6 different stickers on this card. So helpful when you are in a rush-and can't spend a lot of time stamping/cutting images out.

I think that's about it....make sure you check out Dottie's World Challenge Blog HERE to see what all the other designer's came up with!

Thanks for stopping by!

Truly Scrumptious Challenge #24-All Sewn up!

Hello and Happy Wednesday!

So today's card is for this week's Truly Scrumptious challenge.

Sharon was so sweet to use the sketch I made for the challenge-plus she wants us to add some stitching.

Well, of course I encountered some technical difficulties with my stubborn 35 year old singer sewing machine....so I had to settle for faux stitching instead. Luckily Close To My Heart has an awesome "stitches" stamp set, that I totally LOVE!

Both images I used are Magnolia, and I got them from Magnolia-lici0us! The absolutely BEST place to get Magnolia stamps. Diana, the owner is so sweet and she really does offer the BEST service. A lot of other stamp companies cater to the design team...but Diane really makes her customers the focus. :o)

I colored in Giggling Tilda and the Kitchen Bench with my copics and then air brushed the background. I pop dotted the bench and Tilda.

The paper is BoBunny-Kitchen Spice and so are the buttons are flowers.

The bling is prima

The brads are CTMH

The sentiment is MFT, stamped is CTMH Cocoa ink

My faux stitching is below the sentiment; stamped in cocoa ink as well.

Oh and here is the sketch for the challenge:

Make sure you check out the other designer's cards HERE, and have a fabby day!

Dottie's World Challenge-Monochromatic

Hello & Happy Sunday. :o)

Another Sunday, another challenge at DW!

Gunn is the host the week, and she wants monochromatic-white.

Here is what she wanted:

It is my turn to deceide this week, and I tried to make an easy challenge this time. I want monochromatic and the color to use is WHITE - you can use from the lightest white to ivory and cream.And for a special extraI want you to use a small touch of the lightest brown. Your charmed ones is allowed to have skin and hair colors. A Charmed Download is a must, so don`t forget that one. Have fun with this one.

Gunn:-)

Gunn is just the sweetest-I just love playing along with her every week at DW. :o)

OKay so for my card I decided to use an older Charmed Download from the Holly & Madison collection, called Holly Pamper Time; and you can get it HERE. I plan to give this card with a gift card for a mani/pedi.

I colored Holly in with my copics.

The white and vanilla cardstock is CTMH and the beige patterned paper is BoBunny.

The paper flowers & bling are prima

Buttons are CTMH & SU!

The ribbon is from Michael's Craft Store

Brads are CTMH

I made the sentiment on my mac-geesh simpler than stamping. :o)

Well thanks for stopping by today and make sure you check out the DW challenge blog to see what the other designer's came up with!

Dottie's World Challenge-Sketch Challenge

Hello and Happy Sunday. :o)

This week I am hosting the Dottie's World Challenge, and I decided to do a sketch. :o)

Here is the sketch:

I was so excited when I finally figured out how to make a sketch on my mac.

It's a super easy sketch-a nice way to start the year!

I made this card for my mom and dad for their 42nd wedding anniversary on the 27th of the month....{whoops.... close your eyes mom! ...yup my mommy subscribes to my blog. :o)}

I used Dottie and Hubby from the Love and Marriage collection-you can get it HERE.

My dad wears glasses so I free handed a pair with my copic multiliner pen. An essential tool when working with copics. You can't use a normal marker when working with copics-you could get bleeding and you can't use a copic marker because it will blend in with your image. You need a marker that is water & copic proof. {when adding liner details to your images}

I colored in the image with my copics.

The paper is BoBunny-Flutter Butter and so are the buttons

The paper flowers are Bazzill

The crochet flowers and ribbon are CTMH

The sentiment is Kraftin' Kimmie's stamped in CTMH-cocoa

I also did a bit of distressing to help blend all the different patterned papers together-I used a dauber and desert sand CTMH ink.

Thanks for stopping by today and I hope you will join us over at Dottie's World for this week's challenge. :o)
