Eloise by Stampingbella

This is one of the new chichiboulie stamps from Stampingbella. Wow I just went there and they have more new adorable stamps!! These places are killing me!! There is always something new coming out that I want so badly, how does a girl keep up. and you just have too see the new flowers and crystals too!!! I want, I want, I want, stamps make me feel like a little kid!!
I made this card for "K" (see previous post) and the Limited Supplies Challenge on SCS. The challenge was to make a card tool free. I thought tool free that's not so tough, I hardly ever use tools! Yeah right, wow couldn't believe how many things I wanted to use and couldn't!! This paper is really pretty, but you can't really see it in the photo. I need way more practice with copics, but even though I don't have a clue about shading they are still fabulous!! Isn't she just the cutest!!

I love my computer!!!

It's been a great week at the mailbox!!! This is from Pat Smethers, she sends me tons of fabulous images!! I hope to be able to use them all up one day, but it may not happen till I retire!! LOL!! Pat also sent some very cool sticker, I don't think you can really see them in this picture. I wish I could get better pictures of cards because this is just fabulous, rich beautiful colors, fabulous CB embossing. I looooove the way she does these bg's behind the image (I need to stop being lazy and give it a try), the way she uses the punches and you can't see it but there is a fabulous piece of embossed copper in the upper left with the photo corner punch and the brads!! You da bomb buddy!!

This little surprise package is from Julie Lacey! She sent me multiple copies of the wonderful new bella's and that bag is full of gorgeous May Arts ribbon!! What a nice thing for her to do!! If you stop by Julie Thanks so much, you rock!!!!
Last but certainly not least Shirley (wannabcre8tive) sent this package to my son Cameron. Well the bucket was all nicely wrapped and had ribbon on it and there was a cute lil bendable bunny, but I couldn't keep him off it before I took a picture because he was so excited and the bunny has been going to school and wherever else he goes!!. She also made him this fabulous card with a lady bobbing for apples because of Cameron's comment to her regarding the one she made with her teeth floating in the bowl!! (Hey laaaady, lay off the vodka already!!) Thanks Shirt, you really touched our hearts, what an extremely kind gesture!

This picture below is perfect for me because I have met some amazing people and wonderful friends through blogging and SCS!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Thanks to all of you that stop by here and especially those that leave comments, you really make my day!!!

Featured Stamper and Helen's Challenge~~

This was made for this week's featured stamper challenge on SCS. I've had this DP forever and decided to finally use it today and this punch hasn't seen much use either, I tend to forget about using these things. It's so difficult to remember what you have when you have too much!! Anyway I really like how this came out and hope you do to!! Thanks for Looking!!!

Cupcakes....................

I get the feeling you are going to be seeing a lot of these cupcakes, I really love them!! Thanks again Helen, so sweet!!

I love this set, but not loving this card!! Trouble was I really wanted to use this red polka dotted ribbon!! Then I spilled the glitter on the liquid pearl icing and well that was it, it wouldn't come off!!


Twisted Sistahs Friday Challenge, Part III: Challenge with my nutty friends!! We were to follow all the rules:
1. Pink and brown birthday or get well card.

3. You cannot go to sleep until you are done.
4. It will require an excuse from a Dr. should that happen, No, one from Dr. Feelgood is not acceptable, at least the Dr. Feelgood stamp anyway. Deb and Shirt can use our real Dr. Feelgood's excuse not to complete the challenge.
5. You must put brads and ribbon on it.
6. This must be your own creation, not copied!!!

This is another card she made me while she was traveling with hubby on business, no way I could be this put together and can you believe the card even matches the stamp package!! WOW!! This card is sooo pretty, I just love the colors and the DP is aweome!! The butterfly is all glittery and wonderful too!! I am a lucky girl to have such wonderful friends as Helen and I am thankful from the bottom of my heart!! Now hopefully I can find some mojo and make something with these adorable new stamps, she did let me know she is expecting a card!! Perfect timing I need 3 birthday cards and they will all be made with this wonderful gift!!

Skunked!!

Shirley (Wannabcre8tive) invited me to do the MFTSC20, but I don't have any MFT stamps, so I thought and thought and this is all that I could come up with!!! I got no Mojoo, weak I know and the skunk was already colored from this weeks FS, thanks for inspiring the blue skunk Mary!! I was also supposed to combine it with today's WT, but I forgot once I started thinking about the sketch so I'll just have to make another!! Can you tell I looooove this little critter, he is just too cute!! Oh and I can't get enough colors of the dotted ribbon, I was so excited when I found this blue at Michael's, Yummmy!!!

Stamps: Pun Fun

Paper: Blac, white, and Brilliant Blue

Ink: Prismacolor Pencils

Accessories: Swiss Dots CB. Nestabilities, Ribbon from Michael's

Techniques: used the Gina K version of Gamsol, it's fabulous and you get a big huge container!!

I made this card for "K". I later realized it might not be appropriate depending on her religion, so I've gone back to the drawing board! I had a hard time deciding what ribbon to use on this card because Kelly always uses the most fabulous ribbon!! I wanted fabulous ribbon too! I think it might be a bit over bearing on this card, but I love it anyway!! Double click the image and you should be able to see the swiss dots embossing on the main card and the horizontal green piece. I used the sakura gel pen to color in the dots on the green piece. As usual, I'm going to tell you it's much cuter IRL, do you believe me?? Anyway, I think this is the best coloring I've done with my copics, but still need lots of practice!!

Stamps: Stampendous

Paper: Positively Pink??, Green Galore, White

Ink: Copics

Accessories: Ribbon and Swiss Dots CB

For Sunday's FS on SCS!

I made this from Mary's gallery, which was awesome by the way!! I used the same layout and stamp set, but changed the colors and DP's!! Mary's was much cuter, her skunk was blue! I wish I had used livelier colors, but I had the pomegranate DP on the table and went with it!! I have a blue skunk all colored, so it will be coming soon!! This little guy is too cute and I looove this new set, can't wait to make some more cards with it! I used the paisley embossing folder from Cuttlebug and the paisley DP from SU!!

Stamps: Pun Fun

Paper: DSP Purely Pomegranate, Groovy Guava, Black

Ink: Prismacolor Pencils

Accessories: Organdy Ribbon, Paisley CB and square brads!

Even sadder when it's our babies!! Send her a card!!

Kelly at Diaries of a Stamper is asking for cards. Read her story below. We all make cards all the time, and I think this is a FANTASTIC idea.

Kelly's daughter Stephanie's best friend "K" is in need of some RAK's........Please."K" is 12 years old and had been Stephanie's friend since kindergarten. "K"had surgery to remove her large intestine and colon yesterday. She will now have a bag attached to her small intestine that comes through a port in her stomach, to remove waste from her body.She will be out of school for the rest of the year recovering, she will remain in hospital for about 10 days if all goes well and no infection arises. Her family had to travel a long distance to have this surgery done as we don't have a children's hospital in area.

Kelly thought it would be nice to shower her with well wishes when she gets home. She would love to have your help to do this, if you would like to send her a card you can email Kelly at kellyshadow@yahoo.com and she will give you the info. Please keep "K" and her family in your thoughts and prayers.

Don't Worry Dentures aren't sooo Bad!

This is created in fun for'The limited frontal lobe challenge' challenge with my Twisted Sistahs Shirt and Flirt. The inside reads: "So sorry for your loss, don't worry dentures aren't so bad!"

The challenge was to use SC145 (my image was a little big),Funny Encouragement, black/purple and grey, Images- people and Deadline- Midnight Calif time!

Well I think I met all the rules!! What do you think?? It's late and dark, so I had to scan it. I fear I may actually have use for this card one day!!
