Snow Friend

Another goodie I picked up at the LSS on Saturday was a new Inkadinkado set called Snow Friends. I don't honestly know if it's NEW but it's new to me ;)

Jen had a wonderful SFYTT posted and the snowman image fit perfectly in the oval nestie. Love when things come together so nicely :)

I really like to stamp and colour on kraft but prefer to use my Prisma Pencils. Unfortunately, they are packed :( Copics do a nice job too!

Stamps: SnowFriends; Cardstock: Kraft, Choc Chip, Crate Paper 6 x 6 pad; Inks: Memento Black; Accessories: Copics, Nesties, MFT Die-namics Open Scallop, Mat pack and Paper piercer, Ribbon, White Sparkly Candy Dots, Dimensionals, Stickles, MFT Snowflake Die-namics, Glitter

My Time...

It was so nice to have yesterday off! Although I didn't get as much stamping done as I would have liked, I did manage to get two completed :)
Both cards below use the SCS sketch from Wednesday and the Ways To Use It Challenge of Mixing Patterns. I ♥ mixing patterns!
My first card uses the set All A Flutter Sentiments from My Time Made Easy. Last week before leaving for Calgary my package from Lauren arrived and boy did she spoil me rotten!!! Wait until you see the upcoming release! I'm so excited to be joining in this month! Stay tuned....next week ;)
Ok back to my card! I used some pretty American Crafts designer paper and a Martha butterfly punch to finish it off.

My second card uses an Inkadinkado stamp set called Birthday Cupcakes. I stopped in to a local scrapbooking store called Scrap-a-Lot and picked up some of the fun AC Dear Lizzy embellishments. I don't know why I didn't pick them up when I got the paper a couple of weeks ago. I don't often use these sort of embellishments but they are FUN!

Thanks for stopping by today! I hope to have some energy after working today to stamp this evening :)
Have a WONDERFUL Friday!

Happy Birthday

This morning I found a copy of Sketches to Go at Mike's! I couldn't wait to sit down and create something using one of the sketches! I can't recall which one I used and I'm too lazy to head back down to get the magazine....lol...but know the layout came from that ;)
I pulled out an Inkadinkado stamp set called Birthday Fun. Brian bought it for me a long time ago and it's never seen ink....bad eh?
I thought the fun polka dotted paper from MME went really well with it too!

Stamps: Birthday Fun; Cardstock: Kraft, Prism, MME dp; Inks: Memento Black; Accessories: Copics, Circle punches, Mat pack and Paper piercer, Ric Rac Ribbon, Border Punch, Dimensionals
Thanks for stopping by today! Have a wonderful Sunday!

Celebrate...Cupcake Style :)

It's a new year and it's time for me to start my card stash again! Not that I don't have enough already....lol...but what's ONE more, right? I'm always in need of a birthday card.
I used Taylor's TESC97 sketch for this card along with some more fun MME Love Me Do dp.
I can't recall the name of this Inkadinkado stamp set and if I was really ambitious I'd go look it up but I'm lazy...ha!

Road Trip!

Good Sunday Morning!
Last night my mom and I went down and stamped again! Fun times!
These are the two cards I made using an Inkadinkado stamp set called Road Trip...I think ;)
This first one uses Cindy's MFTSC94.
I wanted a girly card!

This next card uses Jen's SFYTT.

Thanks for stopping by today! Sorry I didn't have time to post the details :(

Celebrate!!

Today I'm playing in my first Jacksonbelle Embellishment Blog challenge!
It's a sketch ;)

Good Morning!

Yesterday we enjoyed some balmy weather here in Edmonton....right around the freezing mark!

After doing a few errands yesterday I was able to start cleaning my stamp area up and organizing a bunch of things. After oh...about 20 minutes I was ready to just stamp...lol so I did!

I worked on a couple of sketch challenges. This first one uses Jen's SFYTT.

I don't often make cards without at least a small piece of designer paper but I just couldn't make it work on this card. I did get my colours from a piece of dp though. Some American Crafts... Romance Line. Isn't this Gingersnap image cute?! She's from CC Designs and the set is called Gingersnaps Hey Cupid!

Here is a card I made using Taylor's TECC50 sketch. I've stamped the Inkadinkado Birthday Cupcake images in Memento Tuxedo Black and coloured with my copic markers. I used some Circle Nesties to cut them out and dimensionals to pop them up. It's hard to tell in the picture but I added some Stardust Gelly Pen to the tops of each cupcake.

I have an extra Inkadinkado Birthday Cupcakes(thanks to my wonderful husband)that I'd like to offer up as a little blog candy. In order to have a chance to win...tell me what your favourite stamping embellishment is these days. One entry per person please. Don't forget to leave your email or blog address so I can find you ;) I will do a random org draw on Monday morning when I get online.

Thanks for stopping by today!

My sweet husband volunteered me to make scalloped potatoes for 35 MEN at work. I'll be busy peeling and slicing potatoes today....rofl I told him he needs to sell a LOT of cookie dough for Chloe's fundraiser then ;)

Just Peachy...

Good Sunday Morning!

It's Georgia Peach DP day! LOL! All three cards use it ;)

I started out working on the Inspiration Challenge(card at the bottom) and then figured I'd just keep working with the Georgia Peach dp. It's such an awesome designer paper.

My first card uses Jen's sketch. I recently received the new MFT stamps and really wanted to use one of them! I altered the sketch a little to fit my image. Don't you think this DP works well with this snowmen stamp?? Cute eh?!

Have you been to Taylor's Blog lately? She released some new stamps the other day. I ordered them and can't wait to get them but in the meantime I wanted to play with her sketch. I used some of my favourite cupcake stamps by Inkadinkado.
