Happy 7th Anniversary Paper Sweeties!


Welcome to a happy celebration!


Paper Sweeties is marking their 7th year. Applause applause!
And congratulations! 
I'm so honored to join the festivities with a special card,
and a favorite of mine, featuring Abigail.


Abigail's been around since the beginning. She and all the dolls have outfits 
and settings fit for a queen, or in this case, a mermaid!
Mermaid Wishes is a new set I've fallen for. That fish tail! I just 
had to glam it up!
The shell border was stamped, Copic colored and fussy cut.


'Sea' background: Distress Oxide Ink blending, water splashed, and white paint 
splatters. 
Anniversary banner: PS Hello Friend
The bubbles 'HAPPY' and 'anniversary' sentiment from an older
set, Happy Everything.


That's right! A 100.00 gc is the big prize to a lucky follower!
All the deets on the Paper Sweeties Blog.
Good luck, and go join the fun!

Happy 7th Anniversary Paper Sweeties!

My latest order from the Greetery arrived, and among the new treasures was this
summery themed Sea Scene die, just perfect for the challenge photo!

Lots of Ranger Distress Oxides applied with brushes, foam sponges and sprayed

Card Concept: Rainbow Cupcakes


I have a fun card for you today. The super yummy challenge at the Card Concept is
'Rainbow Cupcakes', and that had me searching through my stash of stamps of 
cupcake images. 


The very 1st layer was created with Ranger Distress Oxide Inks.
On top of that is a Hero Arts Confetti die cut from black card stock.
I found the perfect cupcake images in Clearly Besotted: Tasty Treats
stamps and dies. (fussy cut the plate stand.
And the flag and sentiments are from Concord and 9th's
Birthday 

Hope you play along. So many ways to go with the photo inspiration!

Happy Crafting!

Day 16: 25 Days of Christmas Tags


Welcome  to my post for Day 16 of 25 Days of Christmas Tags.

My tag today is inspired by Emily Midgett's beautiful Nuvo Glimmered tag.



This was so much fun applying the Nuvo Glimmer paste to the tag, and I love the 
overall glittered effect.

PTI March '17 Blog Hop


It's Blog Hop time at PTI, and we have a floral photo for inspiration.


Definitely inspired by all the spring blooms, and the rustic feel of 
the nest and farm house desk.

I tried to keep the more pastel look of the photo, but ended up
going bolder and brighter.


Thankfully my latest PTI order arrived, with Stitching Garden and Stitch In Time Borders.
The flowers stamp with 3 steps, and going bolder definitely emphasizes those gorgeous
petals.


Arranging my bouquet within and upon the triple cut frame was so much
fun, I can't wait to use this set again.
No sentiment yet, I can add one when the occasion arises.

The Blog Hop is all day, and you're sure to find endless inspiration.

The following is a list the PTI supplies I used. Just click on what you like
and it will take you to the item in the shop.


Some of the inks I combined with PTI were Catherine Pooler
Ranger Distress Oxide inks sponged on the linen cardstock
Mr. Huey's Opaque White Color Mist

The Card Concept: Parisian Postal


Good Morning, and welcome to the Card Concept's new challenge,
'Parisian Postal'


'Brown paper packages, tied up with strings..."
Reminded me of an old Stampendous wooden stamp I had, called "Postcard Pair".


A charming duo stamped with Tim Holtz' Distress Ink, and colored with copics.
PTI: Mix & Mat Plaid
Poppystamps: Shiny Snowflakes, Pinpoint Mainstreet Tag
I'd call this card layered collaged, Mix Media. Remember, you can combine the styles.
Play along for 2 weeks! 
Happy Holidays, and Happy crafting!

Coffee Lovers Spring Blog Hop


It's Spring and time for Coffee Lovers Spring Blog Hop!

I love playing along with fellow coffee lovers.
They're so generous with sweet comments, and come on,
coffee? It's the best!

I made a card using The Ton's stamps and dies.
They're a sponsor for the hop.


Just in time, I received my order from SSS, of Ranger's Distress Oxide Inks.
They are fun believe me! After watching a couple of videos, 
and playing with a few colors, I was happy with this background.
White embossed Rose Garden Cling stamp,
then combined Fossilized Amber, Cracked Pistachio, Spiced Marmalade,
and Fired Brick. The inks blend rather seamlessly, and when you
spritz with water, they become more intense.
I fussy cut the cup from Ton's Tea Party, stamped with PTI's Spring Moss,
white embossed the dots,and masked the cup 
so I could apply sponging with selective colors.
Then I added shading with copics W1, & W3.
Before popping up the cup, I stamped the heart steam image
with Fired Brick & Walnut Stain Distress Ink.
'Fabulous' sentiment also die cut, from the Ton.
Lil Inkers Stitched frames.
PTI cardstocks.
Come Play along for a few more days!
