Is it Love at first sight...we'll see :)

Whimsy Stamps is sponsoring this weeks challenge for Sketch Saturday and Denise is offering her two new stamps from Whimsy Kids Collection. Want to see more, please visit Sketch Saturday to see what the design team created this week.

This weeks sketch was created by one of the Whimsy Design Team, Jeanette of Happy Thoughts and Inkspots.

It's been awhile since the last time I played with my Whimsy animals and I was debating who's the lucky animal to be used for Jeannete's gorgeous sketch. And this Whimsy Polar Bear did mention to me that he's been looking for someone special, well at least for a date this Valentine's Day. So, I made him a date for next week, and they have plenty of time to know each other....LOL! The only thing was I didn't know how to make his date feminine, I was going to add eyelashes but after several tries, I gave up and leave it as is.

The main image on the left was stamped on a separate Whisper White card stock, cut and raised with stamping dimensional. The one of the right was stamped on a white gift wrap paper, cut and adhered on the white card stock. The patterned paper is from BasicGrey Bittersweet collection. And finished the cards by adding pink heart rhinestones on the corner and three prima flowers.

Have a great weekend and make sure to join in the fun for this weeks challenge at Sketch Saturday .

Key to happiness...

After missing couple of weeks BearyBox sketch challenges, I sure am glad that I'm able to join in the rest of the Design Team this week.

And make sure to join the rest of the Design Team for this weeks challenge and BearyBox would like to give this week's winner a goodies bag consist of 7gypsies, American Crafts and Creative Imagination products!

I envision something else when I saw this weeks sketch but when

I was trying to put it together, it just came out completely different.

Still debating if I was happy with it but just didn't have enough time to create another card to be submitted. The sentiment is a clear sticker by Cloud 9 Design adhered to a Whisper White card stock and matted with Basic Black card stock with Back sheer ribbon and what a perfect way to finished it with a key charm.

Mouse under a hat?

Two cards in one day?!? Well, the first one was supposed to be posted yesterday but I was having issues posting it while I was home and I thought I emailed the file to work but it didn't go through.

Anyway, I really don't do well with color challenges and it's been awhile since the last time I join the Loonie bunch team...LOL! So, when I saw their color challenge last week and tried several attempt, I literally gave up but tried it again when I saw Ashley's card :). But, I still able to messed up on this challenge because they're asking for a Birthday theme...oh well, I tried!

The flowers are from Flower Garden set from PTI. I thought I had some brown crystal beads to make the center of the flowers popped and I think the card will look prettier but I had to settle with what I have...pink crystal beads.

The second card is for Amy of Prairie Paper and Ink, Friday Sketch Challenge. This Mouse Under the Hat is from Whiff of Joy. I grab the colors from the patterned paper that I used on this card.

The mouse was stamped on whisper white card stock, stamped again, cut and raised with stamping dimensional.

Tomorrow, I hope you join me and the rest of the BearyBox Design Team on a fun sketch challenge. Want a sneak peak for this week's goody bag? Click here :)

Taylored Expressions Cupcake Challenge #53

Happy Monday! No, I wasn't able to stamp my heart away this weekend but I was able to join this weeks Taylor's Cupcake Challenge.

And I just have to use this adorable stamp from Whiff of Joy, Henry Celebrating Mouse. The image was stamped on Whisper White card stock, colored with Stampin' Up re-inkers, the cupcake was stamp again, cut and raised with stamping dimensional. The main image was layered with Close to Cocoa card stock using Nestabilities labels.

Purr-fect Love

Oh, am I so glad to be able to stamp again! I've missed my stamps, card stocks, inks and oh, those ribbons... LOL! Anyway, thanks for the warm welcome and warm wishes, I sure do appreciate you all.


The main image is from Stampavie, Lelo Design You Go First. I purchased some of the Lelo Design after the holidays as a Christmas gift for myself and I've been dying to use them. They are just adorable and I think these two are just purr-fect for Valentines Day.

Anyway, while browsing thru blogs and getting my mojo back into action, I saw Monica's sketch challenge last week for Taylor's Cupcake Challenge. A little late for all 8 sketch challenges but I sure would love to join in the fun. I used my new Scallop Circle Nestabilities that I got this Christmas from my sister (thanks, Pen!) for the base of the card. The heart is a chipboard and sponged using Red Riding Hood classic ink and sentiment is a Stampin' Up rub-on.

This weekend ..... I plan to STAMP, STAMP, STAMP! :)

I'm back!

I want to thank everyone who emailed me asking "WHERE HAVE I BEEN?" Now, to answer that. I did plan for a week off blogging before Christmas but things just got bad. Remember the saying "when it rain, it pours"? (Ashley Newell posted that on her blog a couple of months ago but hers was just all good things coming her way...LOL!) Anyway, my home computer decided to quit on me, lost my digital camera (found it btw, in between the pillows of my sisters' couch...phew!) and been suffering with back pain, which prevents me from sitting for a long time. But, I'm back and ready to CREATE! Nothing to share today but just wanted to let you know that I'm back.

Hope everyone is having a great day!

And again, thanks for all your concerns and I apologize for not responding.
