Morning Kick Start

Hello! Dusted off an oldie this morning to try an get another card in for the Coffee Lovers Blog Hop before it ends. I used a Stampabilities House Mouse stamp called Morning Kick Start. I paper pieced the mug and colored it with a combo of my Copics and my Prisma colored pencils. I just can't get fur to look right with the markers or skin tones to look good with pencils but I'm happy when I use the combo of the two! Used more of my beloved Lawn Fawn plaid paper, hope they keep making it. Love how this one turned out. Thanks for stopping by your visits/comments make my day!

Thanks a Latte

Today I have another card to share with you for the Summer Coffee Lover's Blog hop.  I just love this cup image from the Stampin Up Perfect Blend set, which I sadly now seem to have misplaced. :-( I fear it may have fallen in the trash and got thrown out?! I'm glad I had stamped up a bunch of images when I first got the set to play with and paper piece. Will be sad when those are all used up. I paired it with the Tim Holtz coffee cup embossing folder. Embossed on Kraft cardstock and than ran my white ink pad over it. Used some scraps of paper, ribbon, and twine off my table to finish it off. The sentiment on the cup is from a different company and at the moment I can't think of the name? Picked it up at a stamp show. Thanks so much for stopping by! Be sure to check back tomorrow for the new Tuesday Morning Sketch!

April Showers.....

 

.....bring May flowers. Hello!! I have some very happy news to share today!  Back in February I won the Great Impressions monthly challenge and part of that win is getting to be a guest designer for a month. Thanks so much for the wonderful opportunity! Can't wait to share my creations with everyone.

 

My first card for Great Impressions is for their April Challenge. The theme is "April showers bring May flowers." My card uses the very ADORABLE Duck with Umbrella along with the April Showers sentiment. I paper pieced the boots and umbrella plus I added some glittery glue to the water puddle. My papers and cloud die cuts are from PTI. I also added some Cloud 9 Rain Dots on
rain drops. The Inspiration photo and prize for the month are pictured below. Thanks so much for stopping by an I hope you get a chance to play along with the challenge this month!

                         

Favorite Peep

Hello! My husband and I went out to dinner the other night and Hobby Lobby just happened to be across the street. I was able to talk him into going over! I usually save those trips for when I'm by myself so I don't have to rush! ;-)  This adorable little chick stamp just had to come home with me, isn't he cute??! I paper pieced the shell and paired him with this weeks Freshly Made Sketch. Although mine are never as CAS as theirs. I did end up putting the sentiment on a banner. I just didn't have a small one that worked for under the bottom panel, my Easter sentiments are very limited! Guess that means I can shop right?!! LOL Ok that's all for now hopefully I'll be back again tomorrow, enjoy the rest of your weekend! List of challenges are listed below.

Happy Birthday!

 

Hello! Today I have a card using an adorable little hedgehog from Penny Black. I just Love my PB stamps!! I paper pieced the boot an added a little punched butterfly since the little hedgie appeared to be gazing up at something. I also took liberties an switched the sketch around a little?? I don't normally do that but with the image I used I felt it looked better to have my sentiment along the bottom. Anyhow I'm happy with how this one turned out! Challenges I am entering are listed below. Thanks for stopping by an have a great day!!
