Charmed Cards meets AmyR

Isn't she fabulous! Meet one of the beautimus Pixie Chicks from Charmed Cards and Crafts! Adore her!!! You will definitely be seeing more cards featuring these chicks here! There is also a closeup below so you can look closer at her fabulousness! My card is based the this weeks Amy R sketch. Have an awesome Tuesday!

Caring Tilda

This was such a fun sketch to use. The Magnolia stamps are so easy to work with! The sketch is from the Just Magnolia Challenge blog. My card is also an entry for the Roses on Paper Challenge / Belles and Whistles Guest Dt Call. The papers are all from Basic Grey Wisteria, flowers from Prima, not sure where the butterfly ribbon came from (sorry!), sentiment from Amy R's Thank you set.

I hope you all had a wonderful Monday! Happy 4th of July week!

Cherry Kisses....

and Fairy Socks. Pollycraft has some wonderful new digi's. I really like the Cherry Kisses range and the Twiddly Wings. They are my fav's! I just love this image... she is ultra cute and looks so sweet! I couldn't bring myself to cover up very much of this paper. It is so glittery and sparkle powered that it would be a shame to hide! The sentiment is from Stamping Bella, stamped on bling and spritzed with Shimmers Spritz. That is some awesome stuff! The metal flowers are from Stampin Up and I don't know where the rhinestone brads and charm are from... Hope your Sunday is happy!

It's Bellarific Friday!

You all know that I love all from Stamping Bella! Here is my take on this week's sketch for Bellarific Friday...

I used "I wish I looked so cute on a bikeabella" with Me and My Big Idea's paper. The shading on the image and the flowers was done with chalk.

Hope you like it! Have a happy Friday!

Just a heads up.. I have two posts today. One for The Bella Blog Hop ~ Happy Birthday to da Bella! and another for the Victoria Case Challenges. The announcement of who won my weekly birthday candy is at the bottom of the Victoria Case post. Thanks!

It's the Bella's Birthday!!!

You all know that when THE BELLA has a birthday it's a cause for major celebration! We are having a merry little blog hop through blogland... remember to start from the beginning with the Bella herself! Here are a couple of little prezzies for the Queen of Bellaland!

The card features Missmatch Ketto and the lovely gift shows off Miss Eloise in her finest apparel! The heart template was free from Create4Fun. It makes such a fun little prezzie! The papers are from My Mind's Eye and of course we have glitter and stickles. Can't party without the sparkley stuff! I hear there is going to be an awesome release later on today featuring some new Bella's.. (it's okay if you jump up and down and scream with happiness ~ we understand! lol!) and who knows what other great and wonderful stuff!

Okay, I've yammered on enough.. you are now off to visit Dawn... have a bellarific time!

Amy R has some of the cutest sketches and All That Scraps has some of the cutest pixies ever.... so they are a perfect match! Don't you love Heidi? I do! *giggle* This is my take on Amy's latest sketch. Have a Happy Friday!

Late Night??? VC Stamp Challenge Card

I love this stamp ( I know, I know... I say that all the time ~ but it doesn't make it any less true!) from Victoria Case. It is called Monsters Under the Bed.... for obvious reasons! hehe!

VC Stamps Challenge Blog is having a color challenge this week.... Lilac, Ivory and Chocolate. Such lovely colors to work with ~ hopefully you will be able to create along with us! I hope you enjoyed my card! Have a peachy day!

**** The Stray *****

Victoria Case is releasing The Stray in rubber today! This little boy cracks me up. Could he be more excited to have found a new friend? I think not!

My project is a simple bag topper featuring digital paper from Summertime Designs and of course my cute little friend and his cute little friend. :) The image is colored with Copic markers and the ziplock baggie is filled with cat food. Wouldn't this be a great gift for someone who had just adopted a new member of the family? Hope your day is awesome!

FSAS 13 and present update!

I host a sketch challenge bi-weekly on the Faerie Song Art Stamps Group on PCP. This is the sketch for the next two weeks and my example. I had to take a closeup so you could see all the wonderful sparkle... not only is there glitter, but also sparkly chalks that I forgot I had... (insert embarrassed giggle) but that I am so glad I found! The stamp is from Faerie Song and her name is Hayley... she is extra moody, but so sweet! Paper is Kaiser Craft and the flowers are cut using my spellbinders flower die.

Bellarific Friday June 12th

Once again my card is a little different from the sketch, but you can still see the similarities right? Right???

Hope you are having a Happy Friday! Don't forget to leave me a comment.... I have plans to give away presents once a week through mid July!

A Swiss Pixie by the name of Gretel just flew in!

Meet Gretel.... Isn't she divine? Love her! She is from All That Scraps.... one of my new favorite places to haunt... they have some seriously cute stuff ! The new Swiss Pixies are wonderful and Junebug... just wait... you'll see! My card is based on Amy R's sketch and uses this fantastic paper from WeR Memory Keepers called Nonsense - Jingle Jangle. So fun! The bag in a box is a challenge that All That Scraps had on their blog last week ~ there is a tutorial for it here on SCS. Hope you are having an awesome evening!
