I've been applying for a bunch of teams since January trying to get my foot in the door with these opportunity and nothing was coming of it. Then Finally on Easter Monday actually I got an e-mail telling me I'd made a team wahoo! These year seems to have been all about trying new things and challenging myself in new ways and I am very exciting for this opportunity to learn and grow in my love for creativity, card making and scrapbooking. Here is the post about the new design team membe...

Hello there, I'm loving playing along with the MFT "My Favourite Things" Wednesday Sketch . So here is this week's card. I hope you like it! The Sketch: My card: Alright, so since Mother's Day is coming up soon I thought I would make a few Mother's Day cards. I've still got a few to make this is only one.  The main image is a 1996 Penny Black stamp called "A gift of flowers". I used my copic markers to colour the image.  The "Happy Mother's Day" stamp is from Hero Arts.  I really like this stamp, I think I'll ink her up again for a few more cards soon.  Other challenges I'm entering this week are:  Simon Says Stamp Wednesday Challenge "Keep it clean and simple" 

Hello there, I'm once again participating in "My Favourite Things" Wednesday Stamp Club sketch.  I'm happy with the design and I love the colours too.  The sketch: My card: For this card I used the MFT Pure Innocence stamp "Birthday Princess" and of course I used my copic markers to colour the image.  All the paper is from Michael's except for the turquoise and black.  The turquoise paper is from papermill.com and the black is from American crafts "AC Cardstock". The half pearls are from Forever in Time paper craft collection. 

Hello again, I am excited to share with you this cool minion Happy Birthday card that I recently made for my husbands birthday this past week. We really liked watching the movie Despicable Me 2 this year together and so I wanted to create a fun minion card for him.  I found a pattern online and this is what I came up with.  He is has a 3D goggle too. There is also some sequins in the goggle which shakes. I can just see a minion getting some birthday party confetti stuck in their goggle.  Not really sure if minions are animals but they are pretty darn close so I'm going to add it into this week's Simon Says Stamps Wednesday Challenge and this week it's "Animal Antics"  Simon Says Stamps Wednesday Challenge (Animal Antics) 

Hello there! I've got a very cute card to share with you today.  I've had Stampendous stamp for so long but never really used it.  It's called Changito play ball.  I guess I was never really knew what to do with it.  But this week at Simon Says Stamp there challenge was to create a card using Animals and they are also featuring Stampendous products so I thought I'd pull this stamp out and finally use it.   I used tuxedo black Memento ink to stamp the monkey image and also the Happy Birthday to you sentiment. I really love how this card turned out and I love that this card could be used for a little boy. I coloured the image and the sentiment with my copic markers.  I then stamped the black ink lightly over the sentiment banner to add a more rustic muddy look to this card.  The embossed background is the Cuttlebug swiss dots embossing folder.  Challenges this card is entered in: Simon Says Stamps Wednesday Challenge (Animal An...

Here there I've got another house mouse card to show you tonight. This one is called "Razzle Dazzle" and it features the cute mouse called Amanada. It's a Stampabilities Stamp.  The embossing in the background is the Cuttlebug Swiss Dots and the flower is the Spellbinders Shapabilities Sprial Blossom Four.  The sentiment is from Stamping up's Fruity Phrases 2001 set.  Challenges I am entering this card into this week are:  House-Mouse & Friends Monday Challenge HMFMC167 ( Flowers and Flourishes) Simon Says Stamps Wednesday Challenge (Animal Antics) 

Hello Everyone, It's Easter weekend and I've got a card to show you.  Even though Easter's about so much more than eggs and bunny's this card captures one of those traditions of Easter.  Happy Easter!!! I used the House Mouse "Carrott Harvest" ( That's what it says on the stamp, I'm thinking it should be carrot but hey they are being original) It's from Stampa Rosa 1998 House Mouse Stamps.  I then used the Let's Hop to it stamp from the $1.50 stamp from Michael's.  The flower is the smallest in the Sizzix Flower, Daisies die.   Challenges I am entering this card into this week are:  House-Mouse & Friends Monday Challenge HMFMC167 ( Flowers and Flourishes) Simon Says Stamps Wednesday Challenge (Animal Antics)
