It's Spring!

Spring begins today.  Soon, once the roads are free of snow and ice, I will get out my bike and begin riding to work.  It's the first sign of spring in our house.  It's also the inspiration behind this card.


  I used a Kraftin' Kimmie image and sentiment on this card, Echo Park papers, and 3 Girl JAM Tuxedo ribbon from the Celebrations Bundle.  She's colored with Copic markers. I smudged some Tim Holtz distress ink around the edges to make it look just a little "muddy".  I used several Spellbinders dies, and a Lifestyle Crafts doily die. Think Spring!

Frosty Winter Friends -- for Sunday Sketch And Stamp

Hello, I hope you are enjoying the weekend.  It's time for another challenge at Sunday Sketch & Stamp.  This week's sketch looks like this:
I had a lot of fun with this one!  It seemed to have unlimited possibilities for me.  Here's what I did with it:


Besides the fantastic sketch, I used a Kraftin' Kimmie Stamp, "Frosty Winter Friends" -- I think it's 'snow' cute!  I colored the image with Tim Holtz Distress markers and a water pen. The designer papers are a 6x6 pad by My Mind's Eye -- 'Tis the Season.  I also embossed some of my favorite chipboard snowflakes by UmWow Studio.  LOVE that stuff!
It's been a long, cold, snowy winter here in NW WI.  Somehow it doesn't seem so tough with these guys close by!  Have a great week.

My first post for Sunday Sketch and Stamp!

Looking for the Timeless Twine "Simply White" blog hop? Please click HERE!

I'm starting on a new design team today!  I've been wanting to try a sketch team, and this one, that combines a sketch and stamping, is a perfect fit for me.  The Sunday Sketch and Stamp blog is so much fun! There's a new challenge every 2 weeks, starting on Sunday (naturally), and today starts challenge #192, using this sketch:


And here's what I did with it:


The image and sentiment are both from Kraftin' Kimmie stamps. I colored her with Copic markers.  Papers are American Crafts "XOXO" 12x12 papers.  The bling is from my stash.  I used a Spellbinders label in 2 sizes, and some 3 Girl JAM ribbon in Baby Girl Pink from the Baby Bundle on this card. There's also a little Stickles glitter glue on the flower on dress, the flower in her hair, and on the balloon.

Things I Love -- for 3 Girl JAM

Greetings, crafty friends.  There's a new challenge starting today on the 3 Girl JAM Challenge blog. It's a great one -- perfect for the month of February! The theme?  Things we love, plus ribbon.
There are many things I love, of course, but I really enjoy owls, shaped cards, my Copic markers, the new 3 Girl JAM lace, 3 Girl JAM ribbon, and a certain food.  So, I combined a bunch of my loves together into this card.  Tell my what you think...

Here's the front side of the flip card: 


I used an image and sentiment from Kraftin' Kimmie and colored it with Copic markers.  The flip card is a cutting file from The Cutting Cafe.  The lace and ribbon, are of course, from 3 Girl JAM.  More on that when I show you the close up.  
Here's a close up of the right side of the card.  I used the widest of the lace on my bottom layer.  It's 2 1/2 inches of beautiful 3 Girl JAM lace from the new Distress Lace Bundle!  I laid this layer flat.  Then, I gathered the next layer of 3 Girl JAM orange colored lace on top if it, saving some 3 Girl JAM Merlot crinkle ribbon from the Wine & Jewels Bundle for the top layer.

And, what do you think is hidden on the flip side of those owls?
Some of my favorite food, of course!


Yummy!
I sure hope I'm able to actually give this card to someone special! (with the chocolate uneaten)
I know you "NEED" some of this gorgeous lace for yourself.  It is absolutely fantastic -- some of the greatest stuff I've used to enhance a project in a long, long time!  Here's your chance to get it at a discount! Visit the 3 Girl JAM store, and enter code JO10 at checkout to save 10%.  Yowza!  Get shopping, my ribbon, lace, jute, muslin bag, and Flair loving friends.  It'll work on ANYTHING in the store. Yeehaw!
Don't forget to enter our challenge this month with the things YOU love!  I can't wait to see what you make!

Love Is In the Air Blog Hop for Pinque Peacock -- and Friends With Flair!

Welcome to Pinque Peacock’s
JANUARY BLOG HOP

"Love is in The Air!"


We hope you will enjoy your time as you hop and that you feel
inspired to create after visiting the Talented Pinquettes' Blogs!
This hop will showcase projects that have been created using some of the
NEW Products from Pinque Peacock.

We are thrilled to have you joining us this month!
Are you Ready to See these products IN ACTION?
I have several projects I created, just for this hop.  And of course, they have a "love" theme.
I "love" Unity stamps, and Phyllis Harris images in particular, so it was only natural for me to reach for my rather large stash of Phyllis Harris images when looking for a card to fit the theme for this hop.





The Pinque Peacock Elegant Floral, made with 3 Girl JAM crinkle ribbon, the Pinque Peacock pearl stick pin and Unity/Phyllis Harris stamp, "I Will Give You my Heart" go together beautifully. I cut the heart shaped card out on my Silhouette, using a cutting file from The Cutting Cafe, found here.
I colored the image with Copic markers. Papers are My Mind's Eye, Kate & Co. "Cambridge Court" 6x6. The sentiment is from Kraftin' Kimmie.
Love is about friendship, too, so I made a friendship card for today's hop...

This card uses an image from Great Impressions Stamps, colored with Copic markers, and a retired stamp from Close To My Heart. What makes it really great, though, are the embellishments.  There's a red 3/4 inch fabric covered button from Pinque Peacock, and a Pinque Peacock beaded stick pin nestled in 3 Girl JAM ice blue ribbon from the Hot & Cold Bundle.
After you look at all the products in the month's new release, don't forget to hop on to the ever amazing Rebecca's blog to see what she has created for today's hop. Then, hop with us Saturday and Sunday for more great inspiration!
