Puppy Love Blog Hop!

Hello! Welcome to day 1 of Sugar Nellie's Puppy Love blog hop! Did you enjoy the sneak peaks the last 2 days on the Sugar Nellie blog? All the stamps the DT have used on their cards are available today at Funky Kits! Believe me, they are soooo cute, you're going to love them all! If you've been hopping along with us you should have arrived here from the wonderful Tiets' blog. If you haven't been hopping, start at the beginning at the Sugar Nellie blog for a chance to win!

The cutie I've used on my card is Hugs for Fifi. Isn't she just the sweetest! I've colored her with Copics. I had a pair of turquoise boots when I was growing up, they were my inspiration for her outfit! The DP is from Bella Blvd. I used Sweet Sunday #149 for the sketch. Just some ribbon and sparkles and I'm done!

I won't keep you any longer, the next stop on the hop is Astrid, and I know she will have something awesome to share! Don't forget to leave a comment for a chance to win some stamps! And join us again tomorrow for Day 2!

Little Lady Bug

Hello everyone! It's my turn today to share some sugar over at the Sugar Nellie blog. I decided to share a card I made for my 7 year old son to give his "girlfriend." They met at daycare 3 years ago, and even though now they go to different elementary schools, their love is still strong, lol! In fact tonight at supper Caleb told us that when Morgan has a baby someday Patrick and I will be grandpa and grandma..... Patrick and I just looked at each other and tried not to laugh!

So back to the card! I used the super cute Let Them Eat Cake image. I colored her in with Copic markers. I was initially going to color her dress to be like a lady bug, but then decided to make it colorful instead. I'm still on the fence about my decision, a ladybug dress would have been cute too. I added a bunch of sparkle with my Spica glitter pens, it just isn't showing up in my pics! The paper is from Echo Park and I added some rhinestones to make the ladybug's paths. The sentiment is Amuse. Some misc ribbons, brads, and flowers finish it off! All the spots and dots make this card my submission for this week's Sweet Stampin' challenge.

I also get to make an exciting announcement over at the Sugar Nellie blog, sneak peaks for the super cute release start there tomorrow! Thanks for looking!

Snowmen Thank You

Hello everyone! I hope you all had a wonderful Christmas holiday! Mine was a fabulous time with my family, but it went by sooo quickly! Sound familiar? : ) I definately have some "thank you" cards to get together, I want to share one with you today that uses the Sugar Nellie stamp Christmas Garland.

This one is going to the doctors that I work with so I kept it pretty simple: just some punches, a button with a bow, and a few pearls and I'm done (although looking at the picture I'm thinking Mrs. Snowman could use some glitter on her hat and the boys can just deal with it... what are your thoughts?)

I colored the image with my Copic markers (I might even be getting some more with my Christmas money, yippee!) The sketch started as Skipping Stone Designs #107. Thank you for stopping by, again I hope your holiday was great! Here's to a fabulous 2012!

Guardian Angel

Hello! I hope everyone had a wonderful Thanksgiving holiday! I truly could not have asked for a better one! So much fun with family!! Unfortunately, it had to end sometime. Today I discovered someone decided to share their cold with me... ahem, mother : ) My head is in a vise so this post is going to be short and sweet so I can head to bed : )
I made this card earlier this fall for my mother in law, after her mom passed away. I kept forgetting I still needed to post it until now. I used the Guardian Angel image from Sugar Nellie and a scripture set from ODBD. The patterned paper is from CTMH- I love the way her dress looks paper pieced with that pretty paper! I tried to color her with Prismacolor pencils instead of my Copics... I definately have a long way to go until I can make it look as good as some of you ladies out in blogland!
Thanks for looking, I hope you all are able to keep away from the germs, lol!

other supplies: CTMH ribbon, stickles, misc pearls

For my card I have used the super sweet Daydream. I just love how peaceful she looks, and I thought this Crate Paper and flowers from October's KI kit would be perfect for her background! I colored her with Copics of course :)

Knitted with Love

Hello! I finally have my first Christmas card for the year to share! Took me long enough.... December will be here wayyyy too soon for me this year! It's the first of the month so it's time for another ABC Challenge: C for Crochet Flowers! It's also my turn to share on the Sugar Nellie blog, so I decided to combine my posts and use this super cute fairy, Knitted With Love. It's no secret that I'm not gifted with my sewing machine.... before I broke it I could only manage to sew on my cards and not on actual fabric! I have a sweet friend I used to work with though, who makes the most gorgeous knitted creations, and has been so kind to share some with me! So she was my inspiration for this card! I used Unscripted Sketches #130 for my layout. I dyed the flower with Glimmer Mist, although it doesn't sparkle quite like I thought it would. I still think it matches beautifully! I also added a lot of stickles to her wings and mixed stickles with flower soft for the trim of her hat. Thanks for looking, I hope you can join us over at ABC Challenge for a chance to win a great prize!

A little birdie told me...

Hello! It's my turn to post on the Sugar Nellie blog again. I had planned on having a card using one of the cute Christmas images from Sugar Nellie I recently bought over at Funky Kits. Unfortunately, the kids and I were in a car accident last week and that kinda put a wrench in my plans. We weren't seriously injured, thankfully, but my neck was hurting so bad this weekend that leaning over my desk to color wasn't happening! Luckily I had this cutie all ready to save the day!
I am sooo loving the colors of this October Afternoon paper pack, it was fun to use colors outside of my norm to color her in. I love her pretty dress and tights, I'll have to find Bailey a matching outfit : )

Thanks for looking! I hope you have a good week, this week has to be better than last for me!!

You should have arrived here from Cathy's blog. From here you'll head on over to Jane's blog. Once you finish the hop, go back to the Sugar Nellie blog to leave a comment with your favorite stamp from the release for another chance to win!
I don't want to keep you too long : ) My card features the sooo cute Pippi LongSocks. And again, another sweet frog! I colored her with Copics and I really used a lot of grays to make deeper shadows and give her a distressed look almost, and I have to say I really like it! All of the papers, the turquoise ribbon, and the buttons and gems are from this month's Key Ingredients kit. The ric rac is CTMH and the sentiment is Amuse. I cut the stars with my cricut and colored her wings with my Spica glitter pen, they are so sparkly!


Thanks for looking, I hope you enjoy the rest of the hop!

Challenges: Flutter by Wednesdays #174, Simon Says Stamp: Sparkle & Bling, Paper Sundaes: Lots of Layers.

Sugar Nellie Sneak Peek!!

Hello! I am so excited I get to share a sneak peek of Sugar Nellie's October release! When I received my assigned images I thought, "How did I get so lucky to get the cutest ones?" But now that I've seen them all, let me tell you.... They are all cute! I can't wait to see what the other designers have made with them, I am sure to go shopping for the rest! They will all be revealed at a 2-day blog hop this Sat and Sun, be sure to check it out! All of the stamps will be for sale at Funky Kits on Oct 8!
Today I'm peeking Faye and Freddie. Aren't they sweet? I just LOVE her innocent little face, reminds me of Bailey (before she found her bossy personality, lol!) And her little friend Freddie is sooo cute! Thanks for looking, and I hope you will join us on our blog hop!

My Time in the Spotlight : )

Happy Sunday already! The weekends are never long enough....but enough complaining. Since I am a newbie on the Sugar Nellie design team they are telling a bit about me for Sugar Addicts Showcase Sunday! I am still SO excited I was asked to join this amazingly talented group of ladies... someday I will color like you all : ) This card will be going to my sister. She only lives in Chicago, but you'd think it was the other side of the world the way I miss her if we haven't seen each other in a while! I thought Little Miss Attitude would be perfect so I colored her with my Copics. Then paper pieced her dress after I totally botched it up..... I added sparkle with my Spica glitter pen..love that thing!! Thanks for looking!

I Treasure You

Hello! Tuesday is my day to post for the Sugar Nellie DT and I have my first card to share today...yay!!I used the sweet Bear Hug stamp for today's card, you can find her here at Funky Kits. I used Card Patterns #133, although I did alter it a teensybit : ) I learned that the cheapo lace from Walmart doesn't dye well... but I attempted something new and it looks cute anyways! As always, thanks for looking!
