SC159

Man, I am so in love with my new stamp sets! I haven't had so many ideas running through my head in a while =). I made this card for sketch challenge 159 on SCS. I really love this layout. It's so simple, but there are so many possibilities. The card looks better in person though. I couldn't get a good picture of it. Probably because I have really crappy lighting in here. Sorry about the horrible shadow in the background.
Isn't the Berry Bliss DSP gorgeous?! I've always been a huge fan of pink and brown together so I was really happy to get my hands on this paper =).


I punched the scallop circle twice to get the pointy edges. The edges were lightly sponged with pretty in pink ink then I layered that on a regular punched scallop, just offset a little bit. The pretty in pink circle was punched with the the circle punch and has pop dots underneath. It looks crooked in the picture though. I think I just took it from a bad angle.

Stitched Exotics

This card came out totally different that how it started. I actually stared doing some of the challenges on SCS. I was doing one of the past color challenges that was supposed to be Real Red, Certainly Celery and Tempting Turquoise. I was also trying to do the most recent sketch challenge, but I just got way off track =).
I used the black rub-ons in the centers of the flowers. The word friend is also a rub-on. I think I'm going to be needing a lot more rub-ons. I like them a whole lot more than I thought I would.
All three of the flowers are cut out, and the one in the center is popped up with pop dots.

I'm lovin' the new Rub-ons!!

This card was a CASE from page 108 in the new catalog, I just made a few changes to it. I absolutely love the new Rub-ons! The one of a kind sentiment, the flower and flourish at the bottom and the white circles on the scallops are all rub-ons. I also love the new mono multi glue from the new catalog. That stuff is great! -Stamps-One of a Kind, Priceless

Card for hubby =)

Hey everyone! Sorry, I know it's been almost a month since I've posted anything. I think I've just gotten lazy =). I haven't made much lately. Maybe I'll get back into the groove when I get my new catalog order on the 15th!!
I'm on hubby's computer right now. So I don't have my smilies or my watermark =(. I made this card for my husband last night. I'm pretty happy with how this one came out (this was sketch challenge #157 on SCS). I couldn't get a good picture of it though. I'm not sure if you can see it, but I stamped you make my life a beautiful thing above the elephant from it's a beautiful thing.

My dog Jingle just had puppies Saturday. They are adorable! I don't know what they heck they are though. The mother is a Pit Bull. We also have a mixed male Pit Bull, and my brother next door has a pure bread...but I'm thinking the puppies might be German Shepard. We didn't intentionally breed her, so I guess time will tell.
And those dang puppies are so LOUD! They got me up early this morning (we made a pen in the dining room for the mother and the puppies since it's too cold outside). She has 9 of them. She actually had 13, but she had a lot of complications, so 4 didn't make it =(.This is a picture of Jingle in a laundry basket. I always put her puppies in this when I clean their bed. Yesterday I put Jingle out while I was doing that. I brought her back in and put the puppies back in the bed and Jingle hopped in the laundry basket. I mean this is a small laundry basket. It won't even hold a whole load of clothes, lol.
