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!

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!

Sweet Summer

HELLO!! I am bursting at the seams... I was chosen to be on the design team for Sugar Nellie stamps! I was so excited when I received my email from Gayle- I jumped up so hard I accidently kicked my son! Poor guy was just trying to clean up his art space : ) I wanted to celebrate by playing with the first rubber stamp I EVER bought online- this cutie from Sugar Nellie! My mom is in the hospital today for a procedure on her heart (everything is fine!) and I'm going to bring this to her with some flowers since she was bummed when she found out she'd have to stay overnight! I used Card Patterns sketch #132 and the card came together very quickly. Sometimes you gotta love clean and simple! Thanks for looking!

Wishing you...

Hello! I have had such a relaxing weekend, I hope you've enjoyed yours too! Yesterday while we were watching the Iowa-Iowa State game (Hawks lost) I colored this little cutie for a birthday card for my mom to give to one of her best friends. I tried to take my pics outside, and it was definately too bright, so sorry about that. Anyone looking to get rid of a light tent, haha! When I first saw the August Key Ingredients kit and saw there were stickers in it I thought "well great more stickers to sit in my binder." I'm not the best at actually using them.... So I have really tried to make myself actually use these ones. It says "Wishing you... good times, happiness, friendship" One card, 4 stickers down : )
