Finally

Ok, Im finally getting this Pink Cat Studio card posted. Ive been sick and then played catch up with house stuff. Today I was gone most of the day....crazy.

I'm not gonna say too much about this, cause I'm tired and need to go to bed.

I colored this with my Prismacolor pencils and odorless mineral spirits...shocking..I didn't use Prismacolor markers..haha

I added the three paper flowers at the bottom with brads in the center. That's about it.

I shall be leaving my blog for a week, so more when I return. Until next week...tata

Another Sarah Kay Card

Another cute stamp from Sarah Kay. These stamps are just the cutest stamps that Ive seen around. I especially love the ones where the little girl is talking or holding the animals. I am a dog lover, so I especially love this one..haha.

Colored with Prismacolor markers and Stampin Up markers. The flowers at the bottom are some paper flowers that I found in my flower stash. Seems I have a lot of stashes, don't it? You know they say a crafter saves everything, well, I think they are right. I hate to even toss a piece of scrap paper if I can get one more thing out of it.

I have finished up my baby girl scrapbook that I was working on. I will be taking pictures of it tomorrow and then I will have it up for sale on my Etsy shop. These albums are great for the new mom...all she has to do is add the picture, that's it. Everything else is done for her. I sell a lot of these to ladies at my church....ok, enough of the shameless plug..haha

I will have a new card to share with you tomorrow from Pink Cat Studio..I got a new set and have yet to ink it except for one of the sentiments.

Until then....have an awesome day or night...depending when you get this.

Sideshow Stamps-Retro Owl

Another one of my newest stamps from Sideshow Stamps. I absolutely love this stamp company. I like the fact that they are something I have not seen anywhere else. I'm always looking for new and interesting stamps.

I used decorative papers and Prismacolor markers to color in my owl. I thought about doing a paper piecing of this owl, but decided to color instead. Next time I will do one with paper piecing.

I must admit that I copied the "dots" around the border..this is all the rage right now, so had to try it. Its kinda hard to keep them all the same size and spaced equally, but then if it was perfect, a machine would of created this and not a person. That's why I think there are no mistakes in art.

My sentiment is Pink Cat Studio...I just ordered the set that this sentiment comes from but have yet to make anything with the stamps....I know...terrible...lol My goal this weekend is to not create anything. I'm taking a break and lounging in my pool all weekend long. Back to creating things on Monday. I will continue to post to my blog though, so don't worry...if you were worried of course..hehe

Sarah Kay

I'm finally able to show you a card I made with one of my newest Sarah Kay stamps. I have this for sale on my Etsy shop along with others that are new. I really like this stamp...the little girl looks like she might be trying to kiss the little bird or maybe she is talking to it...whatever she is doing, its too cute.

The decorative paper came in one of my Memory Makers kits. I love all the goodies that come in their kits every month. Its like Christmas each month that I get one. Which you can check out the latest one for this month here

I used some ribbon and one of the paper flowers that came with the kit. The jewel brad came from my stash of embellishments.

Colored my image with my Prismacolor markers.

Enjoy and I will show you more new cards tomorrow....tata for now

TAC Flamingo

I know, I'm such a bad blogger these days. I just finished up this huge order I had for a charity event, so now I can get back to making new things for you all to see.

This set is probably one of my favorites for now. I love this flamingo. She has such attitude. I colored her with my Bic markers and used stickles for her boa. Also added stickles to her shoes. The flower is done with punches.

This stamps is TAC.

Hope you are all enjoying the Olympics. I'm hooked each night. I just love watching the swimming. My Grandma use to say that I was like a fish...I never wanted to get out of the water. I still love the water but I don't have a big enough pool to actually do laps, so I pretty much just lounge on my float..haha.

Tata for now.........................

My Newest Find

I was on a forum not long ago and someone mentioned this stamps company...Sideshow Stamps

So, I thought I would go check it out...they have some of the coolest stamps I have seen. They are very unique and I have not seen anything out there in cyberland like these.

I ordered five new stamps after I took a look around and they are FAST when it comes to shipping...I was amazed. This company ROCKS!!

This is one of the images I ordered. I just threw her together tonight...she needs a sentiment or something, but I wanted to show you this new stamp I bought. I plan on ordering more soon.

For this card I colored with my Prismacolor markers. I bought this pattern paper at Hobby Lobby last week to use on another project. Added some red cardstock at the bottom of the card and layered a piece of torn black cardstock on top of that. Add to that a white ribbon. I added the dots around the mated image. I have seen these little dots everywhere these days, so thought I would try it out. I need practice..lol.

Its been a stormy night here tonight. I woke up to thunder and rain..thought it was done this afternoon..guess not.

Tata for now...........
