Relax...

and have FUN!
That's what I plan to do for the next several days in California! I don't know exactly what our plans are but we will enjoy ourselves!
This is a card I made a few days ago using Julee's Mojo112 sketch.
I really wanted to ink up the new set from Taylored Expressions called Luxurious Labels. There are some really wonderful images in this set and I can see myself making tons of homemade goodies with it this holiday season. The paper is from the October 20th KI kit. Isn't this Cosmo Cricket Earth Collections beautiful?

Stamps: Luxurious Labels; Cardstock: Prism, Buttercream, Cosmo Cricket DP; Inks: Memento Rich Cocoa, Creamy Caramel; Accessories: Sponges, Ribbon, Circle Nesties, Dimensionals, Stardust Stickles
Thanks for stopping by!
I've got posted scheduled while I'm away so I do hope you'll come back!

Joy - Sweet Sunday Sketch

This week has been flying by! LOVE it!
Last weekend I was able to play along with Karen Giron's (my Baker's Dozen teammate) Sweet Sunday Sketch that she posts on her blog.
I've been seeing this teal coloured Jolly By Golly designer paper everywhere and was so excited to find out that I HAD it in my stash! LOL! It was like Christmas when I made the discovery. I squealed with delight :)
I paired it up with some Prism papers. Sorry I don't know the colours, I can't find my swatch book :(
The image comes from the Wings of Joy stamp set that is available at Taylored Expressions. Some glossy accents were added to the berries.

Stamps: Wings of Joy; Cardstock: Prism, Choice Buttercream, Jolly by Golly dp; Inks: Memento Black; Accents: Copics, Nesties, Mat pack and Paper piercer, Glossy Accents, Dimensionals

Dirty Dozen Diva

Happy Sunday!
Whew! Soon I'll have a breather AND some stamping time!
I've been working on some DT commitments in my spare time, that you'll see while I'm away but in the meantime I'll share another one of my Dirty Dozen cards. This one is from August and I think the theme had something to do with bling. Forgive me for not having time to go look it up ;)
The stamp comes from a Unity set called Diva, I think....lol
I added stickles to her tiara and earrings.
There was something about this layout that I REALLY liked and I'm pretty sure a year ago, I used it often.

Thanks for stopping by today!

Swiss Pixie - Nora

Happy Friday!
I bet you are excited it's the weekend? Well I'm not...lol! I have to work the whole thing in order to get extra days off to go to California!! I know, you feel sorry for me, right? haha!
I have so much to do before leaving but I put it on the back burner in order to play along with a couple of SCS challenges yesterday morning.
This card was made using the SC253 and the WT243.
The Ways To Use It Challenge - It's a Stick Up!
I couldn't find any stickers in my stash, or at least any that I'd want to use....lol
So I made some snowflake stickers using the Xyron machine ;)
This Luxe DP has been in my drawer for about a year. Don't you love the pretty colour?
I stamped the Swiss Pixie Nora from All That Scraps in Memento Black and coloured her with some copics. Stardust stickles were added to her wings.

Stamps: Swiss Pixie Nora; Cardstock: PTI white, PTI aqua mist, Luxe DP; Inks: Memento Black; Accessories: Copics, Nesties, Snowflake Punch, Rhinestones, Xyron Machine

Celebrate Life

This morning Taylored Expressions has released all the new sets!!! RUN on over and get yours ASAP ;)
I've got one last card to show you before you go though...lol
Celebrate Life has many wonderful images and sentiments that would be fabulous for an Autumn or Thanksgiving card. BUT I was in need of a birthday card for a man so I went a different route with the stamps.
I knew I wanted to use the October 20th KI kit for my card along with this yummy ribbon from SU! that I've been hoarding. I hope adding the bow didn't blow the card for a man?!
