Berries & Cherries

Good Morning!
It's release day at Taylored Expressions! I've got one last card to show you before you can shop, shop, shop!
I used the Berries & Cherries Key Ingredients along with the Berries & Cherries stamp set. I am in love with these images...they are so fresh and fun! The image was stamped on Choice Snow White in Memento Black ink then coloured with Copics. My Crystal Effects is getting a lot of use lately too! Doesn't it make that chocolate on the strawberry look yummy?!

Here is a GREAT offer that you won't want to miss out on!

This card I'm sharing with you today is from a set called Chillax that will be available tomorrow from Taylored Expressions. There are some super cute images and sentiments in this set!

Life is Just a Bowl of Cherries

Happy Holiday Monday to all my Canadian friends! Hope you are enjoying the long weekend!
Today starts the Taylored Expressions sneak peeks from the Baker's Dozen.
There are TWO fabulous sets coming out and you will love both of them, trust me ;)
Here I am sharing a set called Berries & Cherries along with the coordinating Key Ingredients Kit for this month.
I've stamped the image in Memento Black ink onto Choice Snow White cardstock and coloured it with Copic markers. After my card was assembled, I added Crystal Effects to the cherries. Before you ask, I didn't add glitter to the polka dotted paper...it comes like that! So fun, eh?! This set will be available on Wednesday, July 5th.

All That Scraps Sneak Peeks

Good Morning!
Wow! It's been a couple of extremely busy days and I didn't have any computer time....bummer, eh?
I've got two cards to show you today that are sneak peeks of some new sets that will be available tomorrow night from All That Scraps.
The first one is called Fresh Flowers. It's a really pretty set!!

The next sneak peek is called Create a Recipe and it's a FUN set that I'm looking forward to using for a friend's upcoming shower! Here I stamped the images on kraft cardstock and coloured with my copics. I used the long rectangle nestie to cut my cardstock as a base.

Thanks for stopping by today! I'm hoping to only work half a day and then come home to watch the race and visit with my friend, Karen, who is visiting us for the long weekend!

With Sympathy Card

Good Morning!
I've been super busy at work this week but I'm still managing to make a few cards. My All That Scraps previews were done awhile ago though ;)
This set I'm previewing is called School Days and there are some super cute images in the set!
I stamped the image in Memento ink and coloured with Prisma pencils and Gamsol. I added some Crystal Effects to the apple.
The sets will all be available next Monday evening from All That Scraps.

These next two cards were made using the SCS sketch 239 from yesterday.

Thanks for stopping by and I'm sorry I can't leave details on my cards. The computer keeps acting up and to be honest, I don't have patience to fiddle around with it right now....the weekend is coming....lol
Have a GREAT day!

Good Morning!
We have an emergency going on in my house....well craft room....I seem to be out of mono adhesive, atg tape, double sided tape....all of it...ACK! Guess that's what I get for not paying attention when I grab the last roll, eh?
I've got more cards to show you using this cool and funky designer paper! After working on the Featured Stamper card on Sunday, I didn't put it away....lol
So after dinner I went back down and stamped!
This first card is for the Weekend Sketch Challenge that is being hosted by Laurie! I used A Year of Sweets 2 and A Year of Sweet Sentiments from Taylored Expressions.

Remember you will need to be a Fan Club member to view everything though.
Here I used a cute image from a Taylored Expressions stamp set called Beary Special.
I stamped the image in Memento black ink and coloured with Copics. It's a nice, clean and simple card....with lots of paper piercing....lol

Good Morning!
It's Wednesday! That means it is time for another All That Scraps Challenge. This week Lesa challenged the girls to make a card with no designer paper. ACK! I think I rely on it way too much and it was a little bit difficult to come up with something. In the end I decided to do a simple card with colour blocking. The image is from ATS and is a Swiss Pixie.
