Vanishing Paper!

Hello! It's already the 15th of August!?! Which means that it's time for another ABC Challenge. The challenge for the next two weeks is V for Vanish. We're sponsored by Bugaboo and Tickled Pink Stamps, play along for a chance to win! I used a sweet image from Tickled Pink Stamps, I can just see my tom-boy Bailey as she gets older : )


I'm not going to lie, I had some trouble getting my head around "vanish"! I think that's one reason I like different challenges-different ways people can interpret them. I decided to make some of the papers and supplies I tend to hoard vanish! I used up what paper and some ribbon I had left from a past KI kit, as well as some CTMH brads and hinge. I also positioned the image and raised it a bit so a gift card could be hid behind it as well. I colored the image with Copics and added some Spica glitter pen to the mud and the red on her shirt, as well as the flowers. I used the August SFYTT, although I did end up leaving out the side panel and adding the flowers instead.


Thanks for looking! Be sure to check out the other fabulous vanishing cards from the rest of the design team, I hope you can play along.

Get Well Wishes

Hello! It's time for another ABC Challenge- U for Under the weather. Show us a get well card for a chance to win a prize from Stamp & Create.


My church sponsored a family this past Christmas. Their sweet 2 year old daughter, Khloe, has had a lot of health issues. She had a trach placed when she was an infant and recently had surgery again to remove the trach. She was so strong and her recovery has truly been inspiring! Her mother had mentioned on her blog that Khloe loved to open mail while being hospitalized. We put together a little care package for her, and I made this card to go along... I know it isn't technically a "get well card" and is more of "glad your surgery and recovery went well" but I really wanted to share it!


I colored Tilda with Copics and added Sparkles to her wings and halo. The paper pack is sooo old I honestly have no clue which one it is! It is glittered also, I figured every little girl loves glitter, right?? The verse is from Our Daily Bread Designs. Some misc ribbon, brads, and buttons finish it off, as well as a cross charm from Michaels.

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

Dragon's Birthday

Hello again! It's time for another ABC Challenge and it's time for T to have the spotlight. It was my turn to pick the challenge and I chose "two." Use two of something on your card and let us know what you chose! Easy, right??  We even have two great sponsors for this challenge, The Pretty Little Ribbon Shop and The Paper Shelter.


Can you find my "two's" lol! I might have taken the challenge a bit extreme, but I really like how it turned out! I plan on giving this card to Caleb for his birthday coming up. He'll be 8 and he's really into dinosaurs and dragons and that sort of things so when I saw this digi stamp from TPS, I knew he would love it! What's even better, I used the pre-colored image because I was running short on time, gotta love that option! I just added some Stickles and my Spica glitter pen to places and the image was done! The paper pack and ribbon are from a past KI kit, and just some misc. red pearls finish it off.


Thanks for stopping by, I hope you have a chance to join in our challenge!

Cheerful Summer

Hello! I finally had some time to play in my stamp room, yay! It was some much needed escape now that baseball season is over and we're home again! It took Patrick and I all last weekend to get the house clean so I could get away and stamp, now if only we can keep it that way, lol.... Anyone know how to convince a 2 year old she doesn't need to get out every toy she owns in order to choose to play with the same dolly : )


Sorry, back on track! It took me quite awhile to get my mojo to focus, but I love how this card turned out! It's 4.5x4.5, I really love the size, I'll have to make these more often. I chose one of the cuties from ATS, I love their sweet images. I colored the cutie with Copics and added some spica glitter pen to the cherries, although the pics don't pick it up. The Echo Park Hello Summer paper and the ribbon and gems are from June's KI kit. The Prima flowers and CTMH brads were from my stash.


The layout is Mojo Monday #248. This is also my entry for ATS Wednesday Challenge:Anything goes. I'm taking a chance and trying out for their DT. What can I say, I love Challenge sites and their sweet images, it's a great combo... check it out!

Thanks for looking!
