Birthday Bella

Yep, this is the very first Bella I have gotten to stamp. I have 3 or 4 Bellas and just got the chance last week to get some ink on them. They are just precious - I love them and they are so much fun to color! I used my SU! markers to color her in and used my brown Prismacolor Pencil/Gamsol for her hair. You can't tell in the photo, but there are stickles on the cake for just a little bit of sparkle. These were cards that were mass produced for some altered lunchtins I have been working on so I tried to keep them somewhat simple. If you don't have any Bellas you sure need some - you can get yours here!

Caribbean Lady!

My sister Kimberly called me this morning and said she was mad and I asked her why and she said she checked my blog AGAIN today and there still wasn't anything new posted - so here it is Kim. lol I am so totally in love with the Little Lady set from Papertrey Ink - it's just adorable and you can do so much with it! If you don't have this set already you definitely need it! I decided to use Cool Caribbean instead of the usual red and I love the result. I used my new Versamagic Chalk Inks that I got from Eclectic Paperie - they seriously rock! The chalk inks are absolutely perfect for clear stamps - you get great coverage. I can't believe I waited so long to order them.

Tea-Rific!

That is what this little teacup is - Tea-Rific! :) I have a couple of coffee/latte stamps, but I didn't have a teacup stamp......until I got this cutie patootie from Hambo Stamps. I colored the cup and mat with my prismacolor pencils and gamsol then added a little sparkle with my sakura stardust pen (hard to tell in the picture). This would be a great card to send to a friend for a little pick-me-up! My stamping obligations have finally started lightening up some, I can see daylight - teehee! I so do not mind being busy making cards and altered items for people - I love to see them excited when they get their stuff and it's exactly what they wanted! I work my day job (to support my habit of course), and stamp pretty much every night of the week - it's a sickness for which I want no cure! :) Tomorrow I will be posting some Blogger RAK's I have received.

Mass Produced Cards
Hello All - it's been a crazy week for me - I have been stamping away and getting a bunch of card orders and lunchtin orders finished up - I am now in the home stretch! This is one of the cards that I mass produced for some of the altered lunchtins. It's a great looking card, but easy to mass produce. I totally love the DP which is Magnolia - their paper rocks! The stampset is none other than Papertrey - which is also one of my faves! I have some new card orders as well, so I will have something new up for you soon.............PLUS I will be designing some cards for my design teams - Hambo Stamps and My Favorite Things! They have some really supah cute stamps that I am just dying to ink up! :)

Chocolate Covered Strawberries

I have been busy this weekend getting all the end of the year teacher gifts made. This supah cute gift set I made with the PaperTrey Green Thumb stampset - I LOVE THIS SET! It was just perfect for the chocolate covered strawberries that I am making to give as gifts. The container is the container the strawberries come in at the store - I just washed it out and then altered it to match the card. It will look so adorable once I get the chocolate strawberries in it!! I stamped the strawberries in Real Red ink and then stamped just the edge in Chocolate Chip Craft Ink - voila! I am also making cookies to give - those will go in cello bags with a ribbon and tag attached. Hope you all are having a fabulous weekend!

Yes, I am still here and I'm still alive - I have received several emails asking those questions lol I had a great Mother's Day Weekend - I was so busy around the house - cleaning, yardwork and of course some stamping - I haven't gotten anything completed that I can post here yet so I decided to post a picture of two of my daughter's that I took a week ago. Morgan is on the left and Kourtney is on the right. Now aren't they just gorgeous? I am still filling some mondo card and lunchtin orders, but I will have something new up for you soon! *hugz*

If you have forgotten, today is the day you can purchase the newest stampset from Papertrey - go on over and check it out, I bought mine at midnight last night LOL :)
