Sweet n' Sassy!

Isn't this stamp just yummy? The chocolate cake is by Sweet n' Sassy stamps! I colored it in with my Copics. I used the Spellbinders for the circle and half circle. The paper is by Flair and SU! The Sentiment is also by Sweet n' Sassy! At this time of year chocolate HAS to be a food group! The ribbon was from Michaels.

Hope everyone has a great weekend! Busy, busy, busy!!!

Happy Spring?

Ahhhhh Spring....I can close my eyes and just imagine birds chirping, flowers blooming, warmer temps....and then BAM! Reality hits! I am living in Chicago for Pete's sake! No birds chirping, no flowers blooming, and no warm temps! Darn! Ok on to the card that brings me back to my Happy Place......The image is by High Hopes. (Love their images!) I colored it in with my Copics. The card measures 4 x 4 and of course I did quite a bit of layers and sewing! I had these cute little flowers in my sCrap drawer. I have no idea who they are by. The sentiment was done using Karen Foster's snap stamps. The photo anchor was cut using my Quickutz.

If you haven't seen my "15 minutes of fame" scroll down to the link to see it! Hope everyone has a great night! Or day....whenever you might be reading this! : )

Bunny Hugs, a RAK, and a video.....

Lots to talk about today! First off here is a card I made using SU! Bunny Hugs. I used my Spellbinders to cut out the 2 smaller circles. Archivers was selling the larger circle and scalloped circle as blank chipboard. I covered those two pieces with Basic Grey's Two Scoops paper. I inked up the edges. I also added pretty felt flower brads to the centers of 3 buttons. On top of that, I added small rhinestones to the flowers. The image was colored in with my Copics. I added Dazzling Diamonds to the tail, flowers and outer portion of the bunny. The ribbon is by SU! and Making Memories.

Here is a sweet RAK I recieved last week from Jami over at Crazy Daisy Creations! I love the image AND this adorable LO! Thanks so much of thinking of me!!! You are the sweetest!

And last but not least, I am in a VIDEO! Ok, so it's not a music video or anything, but I can now officially claim my 15 minutes of fame! LOL! Simone from Daily Dose of Spazz came over on Friday night and interviewed me and my crap scrap room! So in case you were wondering where I create and make a huge mess every night, come take a look. IF that doesn't interest you, go take a look so you can see how dorky I am! LOL!

Sweet n' Sassy!

Here is another Sweet n' Sassy image. I colored the chocolates in with my Copics. I stamped the chocolate chips in with Versamark and used Chocolate embossing powder by Stampendous! The sentiment was also heat embossed. The background circles are by SU! The paper is by Basic Grey and SU!. I pulled out my sewing machine. Somehow when I feel something is missing the sewing machine just adds a little something. I bought this gorgeous silk ribbon off of E-bay. I love that it pulled the chocolate and pink together. I hope everyone is having a great day!

Ready for Some Fishing?

This is another High Hope's Image. As you can see he looks like a tap dancing fisherman. I obviously cut the paper a bit crooked, and he now looks like he is toe tapping to some music! Anyway, I colored him in with my Copics. The paper is by Me & My Big Ideas. I cut the photo anchors with my Quickutz. The black and white gelly thingy is by KI Memories. I added some letter beads and crystal lacquer.

We are headed to the Field Museum today. Kyle loves it......(the rest of us keep nodding off and waking ourselves up with our own snoring)....but he loves it! LOL! And tonight I am stamping with my friend Sharon over at Dew Drop Inn Designs. I Can't wait!

Have a wonderful Sunday!

Happy Valentine's Day!

I totally cased this idea from Jody at Coffessions of a Ribbon Addict! She found these cute little jars at Michaels in the bridal dept. So of course I had to buy some for myself. I made a bunch for Cort and Kyle's teachers. I used that teeny cupcake from Sweet n' Sassy........again! I used a heart bead for the cherry, crystal lacquer and microbeads for the sprinkles. (again) I punched the circles and distressed them a bit. I glue dotted some ribbon. I added a jewelry tag with the teacher's name.

BTW.....I guess No ONE likes Charlie Brown and Snoopy? Only a few comments.......*sigh*

Seriously, Hope everyone enjoyed their day with their loved ones! Hugs to all of you!

Dusting off the 'Ole Stamps!

I bought this stamp ages and ages ago. I thought it was so funny! I have always loved Charlie Brown! Maybe because I have a little Charlie Brown inside of me! (Life keeps pulling that "football" from under me! LOL!) I used my Copics to color the image. I am not sure who the stamp is by because it is currently buried under piles of crap! The paw print stamp is by Hero Arts. The patterned paper is by A 2 Z Essentials and the solid green is by Basic Grey. I used a soft gelly photo corner by KI Memories.
I received this award from Sophia Landry over at Moonlight Inker. I am so glad that I am able to bring a smile to someone's face!Thanks so much Sophia! Who by the way, has thee most awesomest cards! (YEs, I AM a teacher!) Her coloring is to die for!

Who are the people that cheer me up and crack me up all of the time? Off the top of my head I would have to say, Simone and Mary Ann! I wish I was able to express my self.......as creatively as these two ladies! If you are ever feeling down, go visit their blogs, they will instantly bring a smile to your face......or doubled over in laughter.....or spitting milk out of your nose........well....you get the idea!
This next award was given to me by Wanda over at My Creative Corner! I am honored that she nominated ME! I have a hard time awarding this to others because so many of you have already received it and it is sooooo hard to choose. I have a list of favorites a mile long! It is such a great hobby because all of us possess such awesome talents! And we get to share them with each other! So consider yourself chosen! : )

Thanks so much for checking in with me today!!!
