Birthday Bear

 

Here is PJ again - this time celebrating a birthday! I used a sketch from i{heart}2stamp Jen's SFYTT from this week. Check it out here! I broke into some Cosmo Cricket Girl Friday paper. Sometimes I think I need to add more layers to my cards or something....? But if I think too long, a card will never get made :)

What's Up Hugh?

 

Look at this cutie Hugh! I definitely went through a phase where I loved that floppy-haired Englishman Hugh Grant!!! Anyways, I used some Basic Grey Junebug papers (that I hadn't even broken into yet) and some chipboard stickers. I had never tried those stickers before, but the pieces are huge! I think they are more for scrapbook pages or maybe for altered art. I paper pieced his shirt, bandanna, and patch on his jeans. I used a sketch from Club Anya blog. They have multiple challenges per week so you can always be creating :). Thanks for looking!

New Banner

I created a banner for my blog! I used some free digital kits from Two Peas (there are quite a few on their site, just go to Digital Kits and sort by Price). I've seen some really beautifully layered ones on people's blog. I am still learning - so I started with something simple!

Happy Blogaversary Bunny-Zoe!

Nikki at her Bunny-Zoe's Blog is celebrating her 2 year blogaversary! Go wish her well - she has a BIG celebration giveaway! Congrats Nikki!!

Thanks Berry Mouse

 

Here is a card I made with help from a sketch from SFYTT and also a recipe from Simon Says Challenge which had a really fun hop. I linked them up so you can play along too!

The stamp is a House Mouse stamp called Sleeping With Strawberries and the sentiment is Thanks Berry Much (which I found on Simon Says Stamp store). Flower pattern paper is Cosmo Cricket Early Bird and SU!. I used some PTI ribbon and Hero Arts button and Kaiser Craft pearls. I'm so excited to be using up my supplies... so there is room for more :) !

PJ the Bear!

 

I am a fan of The Cat's Pajamas stamps - great quality clear stamps. They had a contest last month to name the bear and I suggested PJ ! I was one of a number who suggested the winning name and I won this new set.

Joanne B is having a fun blogaversary challenge. Her blog Just a Little Something is sooo fun and inspiring. Her first challenge was to paper piece so I did that with PJ with some fun Basic Grey paper. I thought I'd get started on some St. Patrick's Day cards! Have a great day!

Edited: I forgot to mention this card uses Jen Del Muro's SFYTT. She's having a fun contest you should enter that too!!

Love Lace

I got this beautiful lace stamp (Hero Arts Circle Lace) for Christmas from my sister. I finally inked it up to play along with Kim Hughes challenge. I just resubscribed to Paper Crafts magazine and their blog is a lot of fun too. As much as I love blog surfing, it's nice to have a magazine to read in bed or at lunch at work :).

I was inspired by all the doily/lace images that are coming back into form. Especially by this Much Love card by Kim Kesti - love the lacy image and the scallopy borders. All stamps used on this card is by Hero Arts.

Be My Valentine

Here is Edward again ! The card uses a sketch from Farm Fresh Friday on 2/5/10 - you can find it here. I just realized I forgot to color in his shoes!! A cute boy does not wear white shoes :) yikes! I'll have to fix that. The heart on the right I blinged it up with some Taylor's Tiny Twinkles. The base paper is PTI's Enchanted Evening. Hope you are having a great day!

Blooming Heart

 

Another terrible evening-no-natural-light photo! My apologies! Anyways, I wanted to try out some new products - Hero Arts Blooming Heart stamp and Nestabilities Label 8. Oh and of course the Hero Arts paper and chalk ink in Cerulean. Really pretty. The sentiment didn't come out well because I used Bazzill Bling paper and it is textured. I'll have to experiment more. But I do love that blue color!! I also used some HA pearls and the sentiment is from clear set Anytime Messages.

I embossed the image with some green Zing embossing powder. It is not a detailed powder so it doesn't always come out perfect, but it did come out nicely on this one. The ribbon is A Muse stitched ribbon. Have a wonderful day! Happy Valentine's Day - I'm off to VT for the long weekend to ski!

Edward from Twilight Loves You !!

 

This is Edward (she has a whole line of images based on Twilight characters!) from The Greeting Farm. I still haven't seen the movie yet, but I do think that actor is very handsome!!! This Edward is quite cute too :) I'm going to send this to my friend who is a big Twilight fan (I have quite a few of them!). I used some American Crafts paper that I bought last year - I think it's from the Romantic collection.

I used a sketch from Mercy's blog and am submitting this for the Cute Card Thursday Challenge 99. It's a fun one - you still have time! Thanks for visiting today!
