I Like You

Good Morning!

I'm liking this SHORT work week :)

Tomorrow I leave for a couple of days on a road trip for work. Looking forward to it!

I will have all my posts scheduled for the rest of the week and I'll check in when I can!

Since yesterday was a holiday AND it rained we stayed in and relaxed. Well I did take Chloe driving and she did REALLY well! Then her friend came over and we didn't see her for the rest of the day....lol

Joan had a wonderful challenge up on SCS for the Try a New Technique #441 - Mixed Up Sentiments

I created this Reverse Confetti card using sets from Whole Lotta Dots, Arrows 'n Elements and I Like You.

The dots were stamped in versamark onto the black cardstock and then embossed with Clear EP.

Stamping several sentiments from the Arrows 'n Elements in a rainbow of colours on my piece of 3 x 3.5 white cardstock makes a pretty cool background!

Happy Monday!

Today I am happy it's Monday because it's a LONG weekend and no work for me :)

Stamping and cleaning are on my to do list today.

Gotta have some balance, right? 

Saturday afternoon I sat down for a bit and made a couple of cards for the Dynamic Duos Challenge and the Freshly Made Sketch.

Here is one of them using a cute A la Mode from MFT.

I don't own the Strawberry Slush colour from SU! yet so I subbed the PTI Hibiscus Burst. 

The background was created with the Spots & Dots background from MFT and was stamped in Daffodil Delight onto the cardstock. A little bit of Stardust Stickles were added to the balloons after I'd coloured with Copics.

Stamps: ALM Big Birthday Wishes, MFT Spots and DotsPaper: White, Daffodil Delight, Hibiscus BurstInk: Memento black, Daffodil DelightAccessories: copics, Hibiscus burst ribbon, daffodil delight seam binding, Stardust Stickles

Then I decided to make a quick card using the MFT Party Balloons stamp set and die.

This time I die cut the balloons and then stamped with Versamark and clear embossed for some shine.

Somehow I have white flecks in my embossing powder :(  Looks like a trip to the LSS to get a new container!

I know....good excuse eh?

The HAPPY was cut with a new die from MFT called Accent It - Celebrate.

The birthday stamp is from the free set I received last month with my order called You're Invited.

Hello :)

This week there is a fabulous Sweet Sunday Sketch for you. Check it out!

This week I decided to take those flowers on the sketch and make similar ones using the MFT dies. Does anyone else ever forget about all the dies they have? I can't recall the last time I used those flowers! What a shame!

Good Friday Morning!

I am SOOOOOOOOO looking forward to the long weekend!

As of right now I don't know what our plans are. 

I'll know shortly after noonish.....lol

Maybe a road trip is in order ;)

Chloe passed her Learner's License on Wednesday so Brian planned to take her driving for the first time!

I'm so proud of her!!!

I will have some stampy time at some point though!

Have you been playing along with the Dare To Get Dirty Challenges on SCS.

I was lucky enough to be asked by Angela to make a sample for her challenge :)

Happy Thursday!

 

Ready for  another edition of Deconstructed Sketch!

Check out this week :)

This week I decided to go PINK! 

It's been awhile since I used the sweet Hundred Hearts stamp set from Verve.

I added a bit of Smooch Spritz to the heart after cutting it out. Funny how we find things in our stash and then can't put them away(smooch spritz for me) LOL!

You have to be a Club Member to view the challenges....sorry!

I created this card below using the Freshly Made Sketch #96 and the DTGD13TammieE challenge.

Just Sayin' - Featured Stamper

Yesterday I was thrilled to see that Sarah was the Featured Stamper on SCS!

I have been lucky enough to work with her on some design teams and she's such a sweet heart.

When I saw her card here I knew it was the one I wanted to case :)

For my card I used two Reverse Confetti stamp sets.

Arrows 'n Elements and Dream in Color

May Your Holidays Sparkle - MFT Sketch #134

I was lucky enough to sit down and stamp for an hour yesterday. Being back at work for a full week wasn't too bed except for the fact that I didn't get any stampy time in at all :( 

When I saw the MFT sketch #134 I decided to pull out the Poinsettia die rather than using one of my usual flower dies. This was a fairly quick card. Love that! 

The flower petals and leaves were spritzed with some Smooch for added sparkle and then I added three red sequins as well.

Happy 14th Birthday Chloe!

Today our one and only celebrates her 14th birthday!

Gosh it's hard to believe!

She's grown into a beautiful young lady who has a big heart.

Love you Chloe!

A quick shot of us a couple of weeks ago....

Just to embarrass her a little... here are a couple of pictures...

2007 Chloe and Snickers

For the record, YOU ROCK!

Yeah for Friday!

Made it through my first back to work week. Whew!

It's been a doozy too! LOL! A lot going on and I'm not sure if I am coming or going some days.

Not sure what's on our agenda for the weekend. My parents head home Monday so I'm certain we will hang out together for most of it. Plus tomorrow is Chloe's 14th birthday! Wow time flies!

Last weekend I created this Reverse Confetti card for a couple of challenges:

Dynamic Duos Challenge #62 of Calypso Coral and Black

Paper Players Challenge #155 using a CAS sketch

Both challenge blogs are listed on my sidebar.

Here I used the Inner Rockstar set. I added a bit of Smooch Spritz on the guitar and added some fun glossy effects gel to the record.
