Trishell

Time for another mermaid! Today I'm using the beautiful Trishell Mermaid from The Greeting Farm! She's out of stock but I am sure they'll have more in stock soon!

I love her tail and the way it fans out so I had to add some sparkle to it! I also used my MFT Blueprints 1 dies for this card. I'm really liking those dies more and more but of course, that means that I want more and more. LOL!

Have a fabulous day and be happy!

July Farm Fresh Challenge- H2O Love

It's time for another Farm Fresh Challenge at The Greeting Farm!! This month we want to see creations with the theme: H2O Love! Be sure to check out the blog HERE to see how to play along!

For my card I used the super fun digi, Summer Anya! I just love her big glasses! I added some glossy accents to them so they shine like real glasses.

For my layout I used an old sketch from a challenge blog that is no longer active called The Sweet Stop Blog.

Have a wonderful Friday! and Happy July!!

I used the fun digi, Fairy Spring for my card today. I sparkled her up proper, too-although the photo doesn't really show it very well!

Thanks for stopping by and I hope to see you again real soon! Have a happy day!

Sweet and Sassy

I had great plans to do more crafting this week but it just hasn't happened but I did get one card done! Yay!

The stamp is from The Greeting Farm and is called Friday Night. She's part of the Creepin Crew, which are always so fun and different! And yes, it's more of the Basic Grey Lemonade paper! I'm determined to finish it up!

Hope you have a great day! Between lightning striking and causing a power surge last week that took out most of our electronics and my debit card being comprimised this week (to the tune of $948), I'm looking forward to a nice and easy rest of the week/month!! I did get a new haircut today--super short. I like it, just hope I can make it look decent tomorrow--isn't that always the real trick after a haircut??

This was just such a fun card to make!! Then again, Hunny Bunny Marci from La La Land Crafts is such a fun stamp!!

I really got lost in the process of creating and didn't keep good track of all the things I used--oops! I know there is glossy accents, Wink of Stella pens, stardust pens, Smooch, stickles and maybe a few other things. LOL! Again, I had FUN!!

Thanks for stopping by and I hope you have a super smiley kind of day!!

Apple Blossom

I love autumn--think I've shared that a few times {wink, wink}. Today almost felt like we jumped from summer to winter though as it was so windy and downright cold! There is actually a freeze warning for tonight. Brrr...

Although I can't hold onto autumn in real life, I sure can make some autumn cards!! Tonight the sweet Apple Blossom by Elisabeth Bell for Whimsy Stamps called my name! I know she could be used year round but I went with some autumn colors. I also used the fabulous Everyday Moments set by SC Designs for Whimsy Stamps and Whimsy Shapeology Corner Dies on my card. 

Here's what I came up with~(the colors really do go together better in real life, they just didn't photograph well)

I'm entering this card into the following challenges~

• Through the Craftroom Door~ Anything Goes
• Sister Act Card Challenges~ Anything Goes

Thanks for stopping by today! I'm excited because Sam is coming home for a few hours this weekend, then back to Montana for another week and then he'll be switching to working in Minnesota which is MUCH closer which means we'll see him longer on the weekends! Yay!!

Oceanessa Mermaid

I decided after I posted THIS mermaid card that I really wanted to surprise my friend so I made another one and this one I'm not posting until after she receives it! LOL!

This is another mermaid from Elisabeth Bell for Sweet Pea Stamps. I *may* be a bit obsessed right now with them. The background for her was a happy accident. Not at all what I was going for but I love how it turned out!

Hope you have a super-happy-feel good-kinda day!! Thanks for stopping by!

If all else fails, add pink, sparkle and a butterfly!

Splish Splash

I needed a card to mail to a friend and this friend LOVES mermaids so this is what I came up with! Although now I'm thinking I shouldn't post this as she'll see it, but I love how it turned out so I don't think I can wait to post it so maybe she'll just act surprised when she gets it..hehe!

This mermaid is by Elisabeth Bell for Sweet Pea Stamps and is named Splish Splash. I haven't "sparkled" anything in a few weeks so it was fun to go a bit crazy with the stickles! The sky background is done with shimmer chalks. 

The layout started with an older sketch from Lesley's blog~ HERE!

Have a wonderful day full of happiness and thanks for stopping by!!

If all else fails, add pink, sparkle and a butterfly!

Flowers on the Beach

Finally a card! Woo-hoo! I must admit I felt a bit rusty though with coloring and putting it together but it's such a cute image, hopefully that makes up for any mistakes I made. LOL!

Winter Yumi

For the entire month of December Yumi & Fumi Handmade is having an inspiration challenge~~you can find the details, HERE~~so I thought I would play along.

Here is the inspiration photo~

Isn't it gorgeous? I started out doing really well by coloring up Winter Yumi in gold and then I took a side road I think, LOL! I must admit, inspiration photo challenges are not my strong suit! I hope that I at least get a gold star for effort!!

Winter Yumi is colored with copics and then fussy cut out. I added a bit of Smooch Illuminate to her legs to look like she has sparkly tights on. Then I paired her with some Basic Grey Jovial papers and some wood veneers to finish the card. 

I also finished the inside by stamping the image in Delicata Gold ink and adding a strip of the designer paper. 

If you get a chance, I'd love to see you join in the fun with this month's challenge at Yumi & Fumi Handmade!! 

Have a super, fabulous day!! And for those not on Facebook~I got the job at HyVee!! I start Thursday and will know more details then as to how many hours and what position,etc!! I'm so excited!!

If all else fails-add pink, sparkle and a butterfly!
