Mother's Day Card
This is the Mother's Day Card that I made for my mom and my grandma this year - it turned out just like I wanted it to! I have never used this color combo before - I know, what is wrong with me?! lol My SU! Stamp Club order arrived yesterday and when I pulled my paper out of the box, these colors were together and that's how I decided what colors to use for my mom's card. I hadn't really intended on waiting until the last minute to get my card done, but time just slipped away from me. I have lots of projects to get completed, so I'll be stamping my heart out this weekend (well, with the exception of stopping to mow the lawn and work in the flowerbeds) *wink*

Who Wants Chocolate?
Cake that is! lol I just LOVE this flower cake stamp from My Favorite Things! I was looking thru my DP and came across my SU! Au Chocolat and the lightbulb went off to make this card all chocolate! I think it turned out pretty darn cute and I absolutely love that DP! I decided to slide a "levi tab" in on the side with the sentiment stamped on it.

If you are looking to add some more ribbon to your stash, my friend Taylor VanBruggen is having another grosgrain ribbon share and yes I already placed my order! LOL Get on over there and order some - the price is great! :)

My dear sweet friend Kyla Maestas is still going strong with her Cards for Troops Contest - get those cards finished and send them in to her so you can be entered in the contest - there are some great prizes to be won - including a handmade card from me!

This is one of the cutie-patootie stamps that came with the set I received from MFT the other day. I love it - I knew the first time I saw it that it was a must have for my collection! I especially love any excuse to use my Tulip Puffy Paint (which I think nobody should be without lol) - the icing on the cake gave me the perfect opportunity to pull it out - makes it look yummy! :) I really love Tempting Turquoise and Real Red together and haven't used them in forevah! I colored the dress and the cake with my Prismacolor Pencils and blended them with Gamsol - love that stuff! I have LOTS of new stamps coming my way from both of the companies I design for - so be prepared to be blown away! :)

I have had this adorable Hambo stamp for a while now and just now had the chance to get some ink on it. Isn't it the cutest? I had so much fun coloring him with my prismacolor pencils. I am thinking about adding the sentiment "ruff day?" This is just one of those images that is a MUST have to add to your collection - quick run on over to Hambo Stamps and grab one - Monica is a real sweetie! :)

I got my order in from Lizzie Anne Designs last week, but didn't get a chance to play with it until last night. This flower is from the set Blissful Blossoms and it is TDF! I LOVE these stamps - the images are so crisp and clear when you stamp them. My sister ordered a couple of altered tins w/cards for birthday gifts this week and this is one of the cards that will show up in the tin. I really like how it turned out. The polkadot background stamp is Cornish Heritage Farms (and is a must have!) and the sentiment is from Papertrey Ink! I have lots of orders to fill so I am off and running AGAIN! lol :) You still have until tomorrow to leave a comment on the post below for my blog candy.......
