Our Creative Corner Challenge - Floral & Giveaway

Hello... Just a quick post for today's challenge over at Our Creative Corner. This week our April host -Dana Grothaus, has challenged the OCC Design Team to use flowers. Everyone is warmly invited to play along, feel free to use your favorite stamps and supplies.
For my sample, I am using a some old supplies by SU. I inked up the image with my SU markers then created the 3D flowers using a small flower punch. Mini pearls were added inside the flowers along with the background layer. The sentiment was created using some old rub-on's from sell-a-bration.

Want to win this card??? Leave me a comment and I will announce the winner next Saturday, May 1st.

Have a wonderful weekend and don't forget to stop over to see the wonderful cards by the OCC Design Team.

A-Ha - Ending on a High Note - OCCSC12

Thanks for stopping by today! I found some extra time to play along for this week's sketch challenge over at the OCC Sketch Challenge. I incorporated to days sketch into a fun goodie bag that will hold these homemade A-Ha bracelets I made for the concert. There are several girls I am meeting in NYC for the concert and I thought it would be nice to surprise them with a little something extra! We warmly invite you to play along with today's sketch, feel free to use your favorite stamps and supplies.

OCC Challenge - Butterflies

Hello everyone and thanks for stopping by!! I am sorry I have been so quiet, I have not posted because I am getting ready for my trip to New York. I will be gone, Sunday, May 2nd thru Monday, May 10th. Before I leave, I really need to spend this extra time with my family! However, in my spare time, I am getting ready for my next stamp release - WOO HOO! I have a NEW stamp release coming out soon, please continue to stop by for all of the details!!

Today's sample is for this weeks challenge over at Our Creative Corner. Our April host, Dana Grothaus, has challenged the OCC DT to use butterflies. We warmly invite you to play along, feel free to use your favorite stamps and supplies.

I hope you enjoy my card, I probably won't be getting around to playing in my stamp room until I get back from NY. As some of you know, I am off to NYC to see my favorite band - A-Ha. I not only get to see them in NYC but I also have tickets to the Chicago concert as well! If all goes well, I will be posting a ton of pictures on my Blog when I get back. Until then...

Have a wonderful weekend and don't forget to stop by the OCC to see the beautiful samples by the Design Team!!!

OCC Challenge - Wonderful Mother

Hello & thanks for stopping by! My sample today is for this weeks challenge over at Our Creative Corner. Our April host, Dana Grothaus, has challenged the OCC to incorporate a bow on your card or project. We warmly invite you to play along, feel free to use your favorite stamps and supplies.

For my sample, I started with some old paper by Basic Grey and then just built up my card from there. The paper says it all, it is so pretty, I almost did not add the sentiment to it! Since the paper had a rustic background, I added to the edges by using my scissors and cutter kit by SU. To finish it off, I added the pearls, swirls and the beautiful butterfly. As you can see by my layout, this is not a card I typically design - I like to challenge myself from time to time.

OCC Sketch Challenge - OCCSC10

Hello & thanks for stopping by! Todays card sample is for this week's OCC Sketch Challenge - OCCSC10. Everyone is warmly invited to play along, feel free to use your favorite stamps and supplies!!

For my sample, I am using a NEW image by Stamps and Smiles called Flower baby - Martha. This image along with a few other flowers will be available to purchase next week. Please watch for samples on my Blog, I have some cute projects using these precious images. I named this flower after the one and only Martha Stewart. As some of you know, I am heading to New York in early May and have requested tickets to her show. If I get tickets to see her, I plan on bringing my card to give her.

The image was printed out on white cardstock and colored in using my Copics. I layered the flower and used flower soft on the inner part of the flower. Thanks Sandy, I finally dipped into the flower soft you gave me!
