Here's a treat I received in the mail yesterday! A few weeks ago, I was the winner of blog candy on Kyla Maestas' blog! She sent me this beautiful card and it totally made my day! I love how she colored in the white on the PP with markers to give the paper a whole new look!

Doodle This card

I got some time to stamp this weekend and it felt great! I decided to start making Mother's Day cards since it's right around the corner. Besides my own Mom, I am lucky to have many other motherly figures in my life that I like to recognize on Mother's Day. I whipped out my Doodle This set, since I haven't been able to use it as much as I have been wanting to since I got it. For this card, here are the supplies I used:

Stamps: Doodle This, Circle of Friendship
Paper: Petals & Paisleys DS Paper
Ink: Basic Black
Accessories: SU Markers: Regal Rose, So Saffron, Old Olive; Black Grosgrain Ribbon, Circle Punches

On the inside of the card, I stamped "Happy Mother's Day," with the "Happy Mother's Day" stamp from Amuse.

Thanks for looking and have a wonderful day!

I'm Back Again!

My apologies for being MIA for awhile! I just got so caught up in life and haven't been able to stamp! Well, I was so excited I got my first BRAK cards from the Bloggers RAK group!

This one's from Wendy L., aka SunnyWL on SCS. Her blog is

Thank you both so much! I love your cards!

Now's here's something I made. I decorated a composition notebook for my SIL's friend.



I used the Polka Dots & Petals PP from the Spring Mini to cover the notebook.

Stamps: Letterpress, Newsprint, Paisley
Ink: Tempting Turquoise, Black, So Saffron
Paper: Regal Rose, So Saffrom, Black, Tempting Turquoise
Accessories: Circle Punches, Scallop Scissors, Prima Flowers, Joanns Brads, Rose, Light Pink, & Celery Grosgrain

I had so much fun making this! I like to decorate things, but often don't because I don't know what to do with the items after I decorate them. It was great to have a purpose to stamp this project! Thanks so much for checking in!

Doodle This

I got the Doodle This set as my reward set for Sell-A-Bration and finally got around to inking it up last night! When I first saw this set, I wasn't really that excited about it, but alas I am now the owner of this set! I had to have it after seeing all of the beautiful samples on Splitcoast - isn't that story ever too familiar??? Well, this is what I came up with for this set. I realized the color combo I used is one of my favorites when I looked back an saw a lot of my other projects with this combo. There's something about the fun-ness of the pixie pink and tempting turquoise against the boldness of the black and white that I am attracted to.

Oh, and a great surprise for me, I won the blog candy on Kyla Maestas' blog! I love her work and I won one of her beautiful cards! Thanks, Kyla!

I'm Back!

I didn't mean to disappear on you guys last week! I didn't realize that I would have *NO* time for stamping! Well, I finally got to making something over the weekend and it's this notebook for my Sister-in-Law who is coming to visit for her Spring Break this coming weekend! She's not a big stamper, but likes it when I make her fun things like this!

Supplies:
Stamps: Headline Alphabet, Be Happy, Everyday Flexible Phrases, Polka Dots & Paisleys, Newsprint Alphabet
Ink: Passion Pink, Pixie Pink, Tempting Turquoise, So Saffron
CS: Tempting Turquoise, Pixie Pink, So Saffron
Paper: Petals & Paisleys DS Paper
Accessories: Chipboard, Daisy Punch, Joann's brads, ric rac from Michaels


Here's another cool thing I learned this weekend. How to make a *really* inexpensive earring holder. It's just one of those plastic things with holes in it (I don't know what they're called) for needlework! I bought it a Michaels for $0.39 and clipped it to a pant hanger and Voila! Now I have an earring holder! Just hang your earrings through the holes. This picture is really bad, but if you click on it, you can see a larger version and have a better idea of what it looks like.

So, thanks for checking and I hope to have more things to post this week!
