50's Sweethearts

It's Friday, its' Friday!!! :D I am so glad that Friday is here because I have a three day weekend...woohoo!!! I have some things that I need to take care of on Monday, but my husband is also leaving on another trip so I also want to spend some time with him before he leaves. Hopefully this is that last trip he'll have to take for a while.

Well I have the cutest card (IMHO) to share with you today!!! LOL!!! While browsing through blog land...I've seen some uber cute stamps that I couldn't wait to get my hands on. They are from The Greeting Farm and they are Anya & Ian stamps...and oh my are they cute! I was browsing through the Greeting Farm website and I came across the Club Anya blog. And searching through there I found this gorgeous card that Sandra made and I knew I just had to have them!!! Check out Sandra's blog because she is amazing!!! So I jumped in and got some digital stamps...talk about instant gratification!!! LOL!!! :D I printed them on cardstock and I was set! :D

I thought this would make a cute Valentine card! I will give this to my hubby on Valentine's day and stick the other card I made for him in his suitcase for his trip! I colored Anya & Ian with my Copics and layered them on a piece of Black & Baby Pink CS. My base is a 4 1/2" x 9" piece of White Daisy CS. I layered it with a piece of Embossed Polka Dot Black CS. And of course this card wouldn't be complete without some stitching on it. I then added four Cranberry brads and pop dotted my image to the base. For the sentiment I just used my circle punches and stamped "Be Mine" in Cranberry Ink and pop dotted it onto my image. And there you have it...a super cute Valentine for my cutie! :D

Well that's it for me...I hope everyone enjoys their weekend and has a fabulous Valentine's Day with thier loved ones! :D Take Care ~ Jenn

Bella Sketch Challenge #67

Hey there! Well I've finally had the chance to ink up my Daisy Bittybloom from Stamping Bella...yay me!!! :D I just loved these when I first saw them...they are just so super cute! :D Gerber Daisies are my absolute favorite flower so I just knew I had to have this stamp as soon as I saw it! :D I placed another order with Stamping Bella yesterday since she was offering free shipping! I just couldn't pass up the chance to get some more of those adorable Huggabugs...I'm thinking they're gonna be my newest obsession! LOL!!! :D

I decided to take a break from my most recent obsession {Basic Grey Bittersweet} and use some new paper by Making Memories called Chloe's Closet. It's just the cutest paper pack ever and it just makes everything so fun and cheery! :D I stamped Daisy Bittybloom with Brilliance Graphite Black Ink and colored her with my Copics and CTMH Markers. I outlined her with my Clear Copic Spica Glitter Pen...but you can't see all that shimmer in the photo...it really came out cute! I decided to continue with my other obsession as of late which is sewing everything in site! So I sewed each panel I made except for the border of hearts! :D I added a few Colonial White Brads and some Primas and called it done. I didn't add a sentiment because I'm not sure what it should be! Anyone have any suggestions...I would love to hear them?!?!?!

Well that's it for me today! Hope everyone has a fabulous Thursday! :D ~ Jenn

Sweet Love...

Happy Wednesday everyone! :D Just a few more days closer to the weekend...yippeee! :D I worked on a few cards last night, but I couldn't get a good picture of one I wanted to show you this morning. So I will show you my last Pink, Brown & Bittersweet card combo that I have. I hope your not too getting tired of this combo and paper...I promise this will be the last one for a while....I just couldn't help myself!!! LOL!!!

I used some Prism CS for my base that I got from my LSS, but I can't remember the color for the life of me. I also picked up some sweet Embossed Pink Polka Dot CS while I was there too...but it didn't have a label so I'm not sure who makes it. This card came together fairly quickly. Can you tell I am LOVING my sewing machine?!?! I think I have sewed on the last few cards that I have done and I just can't get enough of it! :D My focal image is a set of stamps called Sweet Love...I {heart} this stamp set! I stamped them in Hollyhock, Desert Sand, Blush & Cocoa...alternating each color. I've seen a lot of cards lately with the ribbon hanging off just a bit and tied with a button and string of some sort...so I thought I would try that. I just love the way it looks! :D

Well that's about it for me today! I'll be back tomorrow with another share...till then have a fabulous hump day! :D ~ Jenn

Taylored Expressions Cupcake Challenge #54

Hey there! I've got a quick post for you today. Seems like I'm always a day late when it comes to challenges, but I love to do Taylor's challenges when I can...so here is my card for Taylor's Cupcake Challenge #54.

I hope I didn't go too overboard with all the patterns in this card...it may be too busy for some out there. I used Basic Grey's Bittersweet paper again...I can't get enough of this stuff! I also did a bit of stitching and inked up a lot of my edges on this card and I just love the look it gives. I {heart} the little "XOXO" circle. My husband and I always say that or text it...it's sweet. So this will definitely be one of the cards that I give him...he'll love it! :D

So anyone out there been watching the Bachelor?!?!?! I have to say that I hadn't watched the show the past few seasons, but I am hooked this season!!! Next week's episode looks really good and I think Jason will end up with either Molly or Melissa. Guess we'll just have to wait and see! :D Well that's it for me today...hope everyone has a fabulous day! ~ Jenn

Topiarybella Valentine...

Hey there...Happy Monday to you all!!! :) Wow...my weekend was crazy and I am super sore from going to Boot Camp on Saturday. I don't think...well I know that I have never worked out that hard before. After the torture was all done, I came home, took a shower and was pretty useless after that...LOL!!! So I didn't get to work on any cards till yesterday and this was one of them. I just recently got my Bittersweet papers from Basic Grey and decided to pair it Topiarybella that I just ordered. This card took me way too long to complete. My sewing machine was giving me fits yesterday, but once I got it fixed I was able to stitch on my card and so love the outcome!

I stamped Topiarybella with Memento Tuxedo Black twice, once onto White Daisy CS and again onto my Bittersweet dp and then colored her with my CTMH markers and Copics. I also added some shimmer with my Clear Copic Spica Glitter Pen to her little heart bag, headband and the hearts on the tree...it looks so sparkly IRL. I cut her out using my Oval Nesties and pop-dotted her onto my card base. I then added a few Primas with buttons and called it done! :D I'm not sure what sentiment I will use for this card so I just decided to leave it off for now. Well that's it's for me today, hope everyone has a Fabulous Monday! ~ Jenn

Emporium Happy Birthday...

Woohoo...I'm so glad today is finally Friday!!! Tonight is my card class and the card I'm showing you today is one we will be doing. I really wanted to use my Emporium paper and make a guy birthday card. My brothers birthday is next month so this will be a good one to give him!

I am absolutely in love with this Emporium paper...it's got such great colors and patterns. It's a pretty simple card so I won't go into detail. Sorry this post is short and sweet today...I've got alot to do before tonight comes around. I just got my Basic Grey Bittersweet paper in the mail yesterday so I'm hoping I can work on some Valentine cards this weekend. Wish me luck this weekend...I'm going to join my brother and attend a Boot Camp exercise class on Saturday...YIKES! My brother does it twice a week and asked if I wanted to join him. Let's just hope I can get out of bed the next day...LOL!!! :D Take care girlies and have a fabulous weekend! ~ Jenn
