Birthday Bash Blog Hop

It is Miss Christine’s birthday and we are having a party with a blog hop just for her. If you came here from AmyR’s blog you are in the right place. If you didn’t you may start at the beginning which is at the All That Scraps blog.

Christine. the owner of All That Scraps, has been a busy, busy woman. It's hard enough to move to a new house but add to that a business too and you have someone who certainly deserves a birthday party!

...or a drink

...or chocolate

...or a nap

...or all of the above!

For my birthday card to Christine, I chose Swiss Lulu Big Heart. I've had this little girl since my ATS Challenge Team days and unfortunately never used her. Yikes! So many great stamps, so little time! After coloring up this cutie, I used my craft knife to cut the straps for the heart. I then used the Big Heart Embossing Cutters to cut a patterned paper heart. I placed it in the image heart center and then wrapped the straps over it and glued down as well, using pearls for the buttons. I used the Big Heart Cutters once again to create a cluster of elements, stamping the sentiment onto the smallest heart shape. The paper is all from the the new My Mind's Eye Sweetest Things Honey 6x6 pad. One of the buttons and the strip across the image came from the matching Wood and Chipboard Buttons set.

You are My Sunshine

Hi there. It's been several weeks since I had a chance to play with the My Favorite Things Wednesday Stamp Club sketch (MFTWSC85) challenge so I wanted to be sure to get this one in before the deadline. I haven't stamped up this Claire Keay Enjoy Every Moment image in while. After coloring with Copics I cut out with Spellbinders Nestabilities. I combined it with the Pebbles Sunny Side paper, using one of the sentiments from the paper rather than stamping it. A butterfly, some bling, ribbon and rolled roses provided the finishing touches.

I hope your week is off to a great start.

Merry Christmas

Today's card features an image which was suppose to go on another card but after coloring I realized that the scarf was too "pink" for the paper I was using. I didn't want it to go to waste so I went in search of some paper and found the Crate Paper Snow Day pad in my stash. The image is from The Cat's Pajamas You Suit Me set. It wasn't a Christmas set so I used a sentiment from A Beary Good Year. I generally followed this week's iSpy Sketch (ISSC29) for the layout.

Because of the Brave

I'm back with another "any hero" card for Operation Write Home, using one of the new My Mind's Eye pads, Summer Splash. I am trying to cut down on my paper buying but resistance is futile when new MME is involved! After stamping the sentiment from the Verve American Hero set I cut and matted it with Lifestyle Crafts Nesting dies. I followed this week's Mojo Monday Sketch (MOJO254) for the layout.

Good morning. Today's card features a sketch from the Verve Anniversary Celebration going on over at Splitcoast Stampers (VSAVS12C) I cracked open yet another new My Mind's Eye 6x6 pad, Winter Wonderland and combined it with one of the smaller Verve sets, Winter Mittens. I cut and matted the image with Spellbinders Nestabilities. Stitching, twill ribbon, buttons, mini brads and a matching Winter Wonderland layered sticker provided the finishing touches.

Just Saying Hello (TCP Tuesday 223)

Today's card is for TCP Tuesday (TCPTUES223) which is a color challenge of Rose, Sunshine and Teal selected by our hostess, Lori.

I chose to work with Warm Fuzzies. I haven't stamped it in a while so it was good to break it out for these fun set of colors. I generally followed the August Sketch For You to Try for the layout. I used a couple of the TCP CutUps, the Flower Buttons cut from felt and the sentiment was stamped on to the fishtail banner from the Easy Rosettes set.
