Have you ever had paper that smells. Like a chemical smell. Well this paper is beautiful but it stinks. Just got it at the scrapbook store and they say it just came in and needs to air out. Has anyone else had this issue. Well I figured out my distressing tool and I like the look. The buttons are what came with my new bo bunny stinky paper. I like the look of this card and the colors but hate the stink and my eyes kind of burn. If you are keeping track this is 52 challenges YIPPEE

Kitty Cat Fishing


I found this freebie at MelJen's http://meljensdesignsdt.blogspot.com/ a new digi company that I am very excited about. This stamp was beyond fun to color. Look at those little lady bugs hiding.

Anyway this is also for the Simon Says challenge which was the sketch and they have a featured artist call on the MelJen blog so I am entering it in that. Hugs to all.

Where do your Belles and Whistles live







A challenge on the Belles and whistles blog http://bellesnwhistlesstamps.blogspot.com/2010/03/where-do-they-live-challenge.html They want to see where your Belles and whistles stamps live. Mine live in my "art room"

Birthday Cards and More


This card was made for my husbands birthday which is tomorrow. The idea came from the Prarie Fairy website. My husband is a competetive dancer (salsa , latin, and swing) and is training to be a zumba instructor so he always says he is surrounded by ladies. The card he will love as it is kind of our joke. I made it for the Prarie fairy challenge which was to use tissue paper (found it hard to figure out where to add it ) http://prairiefairyfridays.blogspot.com/ and for the Sketch and stash challenge http://www.sketchandstashchallenge.blogspot.com/ My new stash is the prarie fairy moose stamp. The sentiments are also on their blog as a freebie. This is also for the Kaboodle doodle birthday challenge http://www.kaboodledoodles.blogspot.com/

This card was made for the progressive Desighted to Delight Progressive challenge http://designed2delight.blogspot.com/search/label/Stamp%20of%20the%20Month You can join too and for the Midnight madness challenge which was the sketch http://priscillastyles.blogspot.com/ and for this weeks etsy challenge http://etsyinspired.blogspot.com/ The featured art shop is 3 dots jewelry and my inspiration was this bird necklace http://www.etsy.com/view_listing.php?listing_id=39781507 When I return from Branson next week I may just have to get this beauty. The jewelry is so cool.


Ok this last card was made for the Karen's Doodles US challenge http://karensdoodleschallengeblog.blogspot.com/ This card was made for my Mother in law who's birthday is Wednesday. This card has already flown off to TN.



Today has been full of cleaning my art room and making cards here and there. This time change is a challenge. Thanks for looking at my cards and visiting my blog

As a team they follow the challenge and can win some great prizes. The challenge is here http://karensdoodleskidschallenge.blogspot.com/ The theme this time was 2 decorative papers, three buttons and something black. Aly's card the card itself is black and she left a little edge for this to be shown. I used 4 buttons hoping that is OK If not I can remove one. All images are by Karens doodles. Aly's card will be sent to her Grandma who's birthday is the 17th and my penguin card will go to my soon to be brother in law who LOVES penguins and loves green. Thanks for looking.

A pretty yellow card




Ok while I was putting this little card together I didn't like it but then when I got all of the embellishments added I do like it so it turned out better than I thought it would. I really like these new little prima roses. The image is by Di's Digi downloads http://www.disdigidownloads.blogspot.com/ Colored with copics. I took a picture of the edge because there is patterened paper behind the loopy punch border that shows through. This card was made for the following challenges

The sketch is ICSketches http://www.icsketches.blogspot.com/

Girly Easter Card


I used the sketch from Moving Along with the times challenge http://movingalongwiththetimes.blogspot.com/2010/03/challenge-36one-for-girls.html and the theme was to be for a girl so I made this girly Easter card with lots of pink. I embellished somewhat on the sketch adding a few details. The little bunny is a freebie from Prairie Fairy http://prairiefairy.blogspot.com/2010/03/celebratory-freebie.html .

It was also made for the Designed to delight progressive challenge http://designed2delight.blogspot.com/search/label/Stamp%20of%20the%20Month I always joke that on Sundays these digis pop up all over blog land because they are due on Monday of each week:) Look around tonight I bet you will see some more of these little bunnies.

OK This card was made for the pixie Cottage Challenge http://thepixiecottage.blogspot.com/ The stamp is by Pixie cottage. Colored with copics and I used my new little prima flowers.

Thanks for looking.

Usually Sunday I stamp my heart out and here are two of todays creations.

Crazy Alice Birthday Card


I found a sketch at Critter Sketch challenge http://critterchallengeblog.blogspot.com/ and I jazzed it up just a bit. Actually I didn't really know what I was going to do with this sketch so I just went in my art room and these digis by the greeeting farm were sitting here and I thought this has to be very crazy and the squares need to be turned this way and that and the rest just happened. This is also my entry into Oh Alice of course which is a inspiration photo challenge http://aliceinwonderlandchallenge.blogspot.com/ and Etsy Inspired Challenge http://etsyinspired.blogspot.com/ which there featured Etsy artist is Fantasy art of Maigan Lyn http://www.etsy.com/shop/taurmailyn which has some beautiful very colorful prints (which is inspired me for all the color) If she is looking at this blog your art would make great digi stamps:) hint hint. OK see ya later

Card Patterns Birthday Sketch


The card patterns blog http://cardpatterns.blogspot.com/ is having their year anniversary. I made this card following their sketch. The stamp is by Kraftin Kimmie and colored with copics. The paper is from an old pad of basic grey called Scarlett's letter. If anyone knows where to get more let me know as I love this paper. Found it at a yard sale. Anyway thanks for looking and have a great rest of the week. Oh forgot to say that the embellishments were cut with the slice.
