So Not A Holiday Card.

Okay, well, this started as a holiday card for me for my regular Sunday Challenge on Sparkle's blog. Seems like Sunday's have been busy for the last few weeks, so I'm getting them done later in the week. Since it was a fairy image on my card, it was also my Flutterby Wed challenge card, which was to use a favorite quote. I love this quote in TAC's Dream set.

Mine and Paul's wedding theme was castles, so we had the song being sung by Cinderella "A Dream" when we entered our wedding reception. So, it has a special place for me when I see it because it makes me think of Paulie. However, that quote totally changed the direction of my card! It's so not a holiday card any more! Still so cute though!

Anyhow, this is my Cupcake Inspiration Card. I was moved by the blue and red in the cupcakes. Also, being balloons on the cupcakes, I had to have something in the sky. I don't have alot of things in the sky! Decided I want a Santa in a hot air balloon stamp.

This is also my Pile It On Challenge- Good things come in threes. Three pearls in a row, three types of glitter, three types of punches/nesties, three scrapping floss, three inks to make my sky behind my cute fairy.

Pink Elephant's sketch for the week.

Whimsy Stamp Challenge-Some Bling, I have glitter, pearls, and fun flock with glitter on my cloud.

Flourishes Timeless Tuesday Challenge was to use pearls.

Supplies: Copics, Martha glitter, DCWV Christmas stack, Martha punch, scappers floss, TAC sentiment, PTI cardstocks, nesties, SU Baja blue, ballet blue, bordering blue inks.

Love and Laughter

Not a catchy title today. Been one of those off kinda days. Trey was a touch difficult this morning. Daddy spent a good amount of the morning fussing at him. So we headed on a shopping trip, where he picked his lunch and than refused to eat it, nothing more fun than making a seven year old eat! Needless to say, we didn't buy anything, and went home early.

Than started to stamp to kinda wind down some, and the dog pooped on the carpet, again! Twice in the last two days. Sigh! Waiting for him to finally get it! If it's not number two, it's number one, and we have been accident free on that for a few days. How do you get dogs to tell you they have to go?! This seems to be our lacking in the training dept. I have to say, stamping relaxes me, and it's not very relaxing when you have to stop and steam clean the carpet! Well, enough grumbling!

I pulled off a few challenges on this card today. I'm still wanting to do my normal Sunday Challenges. Maybe later tonight I can sit down and do those.

This is the Cupcake Craft Challenge. It had a layout and a color combo. Missed the detail on the combo on that until after I was done. Luckily, my other challenge was about the same colors! I used my scorpal to create lines instead of the ribbons on my card. Gotta brag, they picked me last week as one of their top fives! It's also Flourishes Timeless Tuesday Challenge, which was score it. I scored a few lines on two sections of my card. I think that's a very pretty effect on a card. For CCEE Stampers, use trees and flowers. Pink Elephant had a color combo challenge. Pile it on was to use no pattern paper.

I did the rock and roll technique on this card. I also dabbed Versamark Dazzling around the edges, which gives it a shimmery effect, but it's not showing up in the photo. I stamped off Script background stamp from TAC in Taken with Teal on the tree image, but it's also a soft effect on the card. Other supplies: SU Craft, choco chip, taken with teal cardstock, taken with teal, and choco chip ink, scorpal, TAC Love and Laughter set, script stamp, nesties, primas.

Dude!

Those who know me well know that's a perfect title for me! Today's card covers a few challenges.

It's the sketch from Sketch and Stash. Billy is a new set, uncut. The paper is DCWV, from my stash, cardstock is also from my stash.

At CCEE, it was to make a summer card.

At Pile it on, an orange card.

At Flourishes Timeless Treasures, to use shimmerz. My waves are covered in it, as are the doggies glasses, and the blue line on the surf board.

At Spoonfull of Sugar, it was swirls. There's swirls with the waves and I stamped in Night of Navy on the back ground paper, and the edge with Swirlies from TAC.

Other supplies: Copics, nesties, SU's Surfs Up, SU Inks: Only Orange, Night of Navy, dew drops.

As always, thanks for stopping by!

Total Cuteness!

Mercy, I saw a new type of stamps on Sugar Nellie that I thought were so cute. So, I did a search and found a store in the UK that sold them, and I brought three sets! They were so cute! They are called Fairy Doodles by Buzzcrafts. They arrived super fast too! Gotta like overseas shipping that is quick!

I have been wanting to play Flutterby Wed all week. It was hosted by Michelle, who I have gotten to know recently, and a sketch challenge. So, I finally got it done today.

I combined that challenge with a few others, Pink Elephant was where I got my color combo. I used some old, very old Basic Grey papers. I think I've had this pack for over 3 years! Even cooler that the paper pack comes with some tags, as the challenge on Flourishes Timeless Tuesday was to use a tag. I used SU's Brocade Blue, Ruby Red, and Bordering blue cardstock. I topped him off with shimmerz, and stickles. He's colored with Copics. The sentiment is cut out with SU's word punches, and the sentiment is from TAC's How Swell.

Thanks for stopping by, and I have some blog candy up. You can click here to see it.

You're A Star!!

I found out about this blog, Pile It On, from Alanna's blog on Sunday. I tend to try to do more than one challenge per card, when I do one, so this was a perfect site for me to discover! So, I checked it out right after posting on Alanna's cute Christmas card. She plays on Sparkle's challenge on Sunday too.

Than came today's card. I peaked on the Pile It On, and flipped around to some other challenges, some that were new to me, and pulled off five challenges on this one card! Woo hoo for me!

I did the Star and Stripes off The Pink Elephant. I cut out my flower and star for Flourishes Timeless Tuesday challenge. My layout is from Midnight Madness Sketch challenge. Pile It On had thier own challenge, which was three embellishments. I used scrappers floss, ribbon, stickles, glitter, brads, eyelets, and prima flowers. Finally, Spoon Full of Sugar was to use hearts on your card, I used two heart shaped brads on my card. That challenge also made me think of Debbie, who loves to put hearts on her cards. Whew, that was a lot, huh? Had a blast doing that though!

My image is from Sugar Nellie, borrowed it from a friend months ago, and just now colored it. Forgot it was stamped in palette, so I couldn't blend too well, because it bleed in a few small spots. The sentiment is from Elzybells, and is punched out with both SU's word punches. The card stock is Razzleberry, and my paper is from DCWV, winter pack.
