Need a Hug?

Happy Friday! Another card made in TX. I just love how quickly this all came together. This Greeting Farm stamp I believe in still in stock at www.hopestampseternal.com and is 20% off for the next few days. The sentiment is from a set that my friend Anna had given me in a LSS round. Hmmm...Just Magnolia challenge is distressing, what to do, what to do.

Edward

This is a card that I made in TX. I ordered Edward from Hope Stamps Eternal and Rachel's customer service rocks & it arrived before leaving. Woo Hoo!!! The pic is shot at this angle so you can see Edward's hair. After finishing the card, second guessing set in and now I wish that I had made his skin glisten instead of his hair. Still, all in all, like the card and will make another one using stickles on his skin.

Beach Babe

Life is a little hectic right now, so I'm posting a card made about a week ago. This is one of All That Scraps digi image (also available in a stamp). They are all so cute. My daughter had a bathing suit close to this when she was little. I'm on my way in a few days to a LOSTie get together in TX, so this will be my last post until Friday, when I will attempt to beat Anna on post to the Just Magnolia challenge. Now watch, with all the stuff that is in my tote, I will not have an item or color that is needed. Please no!!!! You better get up early Anna!!! LOL To all my LOSTie friends who will not be there - I wish you were coming and hope next year works out!!

Cookie bake

Sorry about the shadow on my card. It's getting ready to storm again here today. Working on a card swap design that I'll be working on next week. I would love to hear your thoughts. Should I keep the rolling pin or ditch it? His little apron is paper pieced.
On a different note, one of the blogs that I recently discovered (and LOVE) is Kim MacNutt's blog. Can this girl work a cuttlebug embossing folder. Make sure when you visit, to bring a coke, coffee, or tea, because you are going to be there a while. She is on the sidebar under blogs that inspire me (Kim). All the blogs on my sidebar inspire me!!!!

Anna's blog candy

http://scrapandcrap.blogspot.com/

My buddy, Anna, has some awesome blog candy right now!!! Anna is one of my "sisters" on SCS and she does really awesome cards and scrapbook pages. Recently we have been having a little contest to see who can post on the Just Magnolia challenge blog first. So far, I've only beat her once. LOL

Will it go round in circles?

Am I showing my age by using that song title? This weekend I decided to really push myself to look up different sketches, shapes, etc. After stumbling across lots of cards where part of the image is cut out, it was one that I went with. Super fun and this is my ALL TIME FAVORITE Elzybells image. I adore that little puppy!!! Also went a tiny bit 3D, since his cake is up on pop-up dots. Hope your week is off to a good start.

WOO HOO! I finally grabbed one of EK Success beach border punches. So then I had to go to All That Scraps and order some digi images (also available in stamps). I'm having a little trouble, but am working it out and was able to get one of the images to print.

It's a Celebration - JM

TGIF!!! This week on Just Magnolia they have such a cute sketch. Coming up with cute sketches is something that I seriously lack in. It comes so easy to lots of people, not so much to me. I decided to play down the embellishments and use cute heart rain dots. Have a wonderful weekend!

Cupcakes

I try to participate in the cupcake inspiration challenges, so why not use some cute cupcake paper and a little lady who is mad that they go to her hips - LOL This isn't a current challenge, but it's been on my brain, so I grabbed a few goodies and went with it. I hope one day Rachel does an owl cupcake challenge because somewhere on one of the cupcake sites, the cutest owl cupcakes ever were calling to me. ;)

Have a great day!

Summertime

Another digi image from Pollycraft. These really are fun to color. Isn't her outfit just adorable and check out her cute little drink! I don't know if it's showing up, but her sunglasses have the black spica glitter pen on them.

When I saw Rachel's cupcake challenge for this week, it was a no brainer. Imaginesce had a line of stamps and papers last year that look exactly like this. Seriously would you eat these cupcakes? My image panel is actually 3 stamps put on a large acrylic block. Check out Rachel's blog and play along. www.hopestampseternal.blogspot.com

Charmed I'm Sure

This week's Just Magnolia challenge is to use a charm. Well my friends know that I have TONS of heart charms, but that was too easy. This past week there was just no mojo in me and hopefully it's coming back. So I decided to use my last cross charm and the perfect Tilda image. Notice the buttons? I'm so not a button person, but holy cow, when I saw these in a jar with pretty flowers I just had to have them. All the PTI buttons are so pretty and I'm sure some of them will eventually make it to my stamp room. ;) Also hoping to beat my pal, Anna, to post on the thread! We'll see how I do. :)

Another digital image from Pollycraft. I really have no card making mojo this week, so this is really simple. The kitty has smooch on him and the girl's socks/sweater. Hope you have a great day!
