"Hi"

I'm a little behind on posting this card, I've had it made for awhile, but keep forgetting to post it!

My first easel card I made.  I took a Hero Arts class and we began this card, but I finished it up at home.

Thanks for stopping by today!

Hot Time Summer with Sweet Stamps

Sweet Stamps Challenge:

Hot Time in the Summer

Use Hot Summer Colors

Here's my creation:

 What a fun card this was to create.   I've really had a thing for butterflies since working with Sweet Stamps!!  For this card I used "Bold Butterfly Medium" and "Bold Butterfly Small".  I stamped them a few times and then cut them out.  The sentiment is also from Sweet Stamps, called "Wonderful Day", which I think is a fun sentiment!

Close-up Pictures of a few of the butterflies:

I used some Creative Inspirations Paint to and some shimmer to the butterflies!  I just LOVE these shimmery paints!  They add the perfect touch of shimmer to anything!!  I used Tutu Pink, Sage, Buttercup, Sky Blue, and Amethyst.

Make sure to join us on the Sweet Stamps blog, we'd love to see what you create.  You have a chance at winning $20 to purchase some "sweet" things of your own!! 

Make sure to check out all the other lovely creations from the other DT members!!

I've created this card with my friends in mind, not sure which one it will be sent to yet, but friends are one of lifes greatest blessings, as well as family!

Have a wonderful day!

Summer Layout

How exciting!  Cherry Lynn Designs is currently having a Design Tam Call.  I just love their dies!

I created this fun layout for the call, using a picture of my babies from last summer!

I used these Cherry Lynn Design products:

Exotic Butterfly Mini (DL112)

Fanciful Flourish (B117)

French Flair Stackers

Here's a few close-ups:

Two of the butterflies, I just LOVE these new butterfly dies!!

I added some sparkle to them!!

Here's a card I created recently with one of the butterfly dies as well:

Thanks for checking out my creations, hope you like.

I am currently working on an altered jar using some Cherry Lynn Designs dies, but am waiting for the fall bulbs to come out to put in the jar.  It's going to be a gift for a friend who loves flowers.

Have a wonderful day!!

Sketch:

What a fun sketch!

Here's my creation for this week:

I actually decided to turn the sketch sideways.

 I used a new fun duo set from Sweet Stamps called "Ornaments Silhouette and Outline Duo".  What a fun set as there are so many different things you can do with it.  In this case, I used the ouline stamp on designer paper and cut them out.

And in my opinion, no Christmas ornament is complete until you have a little....
SHIMMER!!

I used Creative Inspirations Paint "Fairy Dust" to add shimmer to the designer paper!  If you haven't tried these paints yet, please do, they are so perfect!  I really like using them!

Christmas in July with D2D

Designed 2 Delight has a fun challenge this week, Christmas in July! 

But the twist is you can't use green and red!!

I used lime green on mine as I really liked this color scheme. (Thought that would be okay since I was using a typical green)

I used "Snowman Love" from D2D.

I love this Bo Bunny paper!  I also used some new metallic inspirations from Creative Inspirations Paint!  They have a new line of hot fix jewels and metallic inspirations!

Have a wonderful weekend!
