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!

Hero

Hello! Is anyone else's weekend flying by? My son had his first basketball game today, that was interesting! Entertaining definately, but interesting : )


A co-worker's son is serving in Afghanastan and our office is sending him a care package. This is the card I made for everyone who donates to sign and send along. I truly hope this little hello from home brightens his day.

I used Mojo Monday #222 for the sketch. The star is a Sissix die and I wrapped some paper twine around it. I used my Cricut to cut the HERO letters, and then I embossed them with a Cuttlebug folder and used a bit of distressing ink. I really love the look of it! The paper and red rhinestones are CTMH.

This card is also my submission for The Pink Elephant #129: Anything goes.

Thanks for looking! And to anyone reading who has ever served or has family who is now, thank you for your bravery! You are true Hero's!

Thinking of You

Hello! This week has been very trying, and I've been making cards to unwind at night. The good side to that is I have a que of cards waiting to be shared! The first is one I made for a friend who lost her pregnancy with twins last week. I pray that this card brings her comfort!


I started with Card Patterns #146, although the final result doesn't reflect it so much! The patterned paper is from Jillybean Soup. I received it, the ribbon, and the journaling card in November's KI kit. The stamp sets are from Taylored Expressions too (they are my something new for Cute Card Thursday's #198... I had a bit of fun with Taylor's Black Friday sale!) I picked up the flower at Micheals, it's from Recollections.

As always, thanks for looking! I'll be seeing you soon! Plus sneak peaks for Sugar Nellie will be coming soon! I'm so excited, it is going to be great!

Herd It's Your Birthday!

Happy 2012! I went to Minneapolis today to watch the Vikings and the Bears with my parents, hubby, and brother.... oh my both teams played terrible, but the Bears won, so oh well : ) I left and forgot to schedule my sample for today's ABC Challenge: G for Green.... oops, so much for starting off the year right! Better late than never.... right..... So without any further delay, I herd it's your birthday!

You can choose, either go green and reuse items, or be inspired by the color green. As you can tell, I chose color. Coming from a farm family green=farm, right? The stamps I used are from Gina K Designs. I sooo love the sentiment I used on the inside of the card... it cracks me up! I used some papers from an older Key Ingredients kit.

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