Fairy Glen Blog Hop Day 2!

Hello! It's day 2 of Sugar Nellie's Fairy Glen blog hop! Hopefully you joined us yesterday too and left comments (there's a rumor of random prizes!) Everyone did such a beautiful job yesterday, we have big shoes to fill today! All of the cute stamps are now available at Funky Kits. Have you made your order so you can work your magic too?
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 1st ABC Challenge!

Hello everyone! I am so excited to announce that I was chosen to join the new ABC Challenge DT! I was so happy when I received the email... I had practically given up on ever being asked to be on a DT after getting plenty of "I'm sorry, but...." emails. Maybe my work wasn't as good as my mom said it was : ) So to have 2 different teams ask me to join in the same week was surreal! The moral to my story is... Don't Give Up!

To get it started this week the ABC Challenge is A for Anything Goes! Play along with us for a chance to win a certificate to In2Stamps or Lili of the Valley! For my card I colored sweet Tilda with my Copics. As always, I used a sketch for my card, and I'm sorry, but I forgot to write it down and I've searched my usual go-to sketch sites. I know I used an older one and just can't find it, I love it though!

This card is also my submission for The Paper Shelter's challenge "For the Girls" and Simon Says Stamp's Anything goes challenge (they are hoping for 1,000 entries!)

Thanks for looking, I hope you have time to play with us!

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!

TE Birthday Tree

Hello! So I thought I had signed up for Taylored Expression's Blast from the Past (I love that hop after all!) for Sept, but... oops, guess I forgot! I'm telling you, my head so is not on straight lately. Bailey's been sick, and Momma doesn't function too well on little sleep! Since I had a card made, I figured I'd share it anyways! After cutting out the tree by hand, the die is definately going to be on my next order, lol! I used Taylored Expressions sketch #146. Thanks for looking!
