Thoughts and Prayers Birthday

Good morning! Hope you had a nice weekend! I got a lot of stamping done, but hardly anything actually completed. I'm so bad about starting a card and setting it aside to start another one. I finally got a box to put unfinished cards in so I don't forget about them. There's also a bunch of images in there I've colored that I haven't done anything with yet. BTW, no signs of the nasty little centipede since it so rudely visited me Thursday. Whew! I hope to never see that hideous thing again. Hopefully all those nasy little legs carried his ugly self back outside where he belongs. Anyway, I thought I'd use my Thoughts and Prayers set. I really love these stamps, but they aren't getting much use since I can't color them . I need to stop discriminating against my solid image stamps, lol. I used one of the stamps from So Many Sayings with my SAMJ to make the stripes (my set is cut apart and mounted on jenga blocks).

Hope you have a great day!!

Sketch cards

I made this card with last weeks Mojo Monday sketch. I LOVE this sketch! I'm glad I finally got a chance to use it, along with my Thoughts & Prayers stamp set which has been neglected. =) I don't think I'm going to buy any more solid image stamps unless I can't live without them . Ever since I got Copics, they totally get ignored. Coloring is so much more fun! Speaking of which, my new markers will be here Saturday!! That is so fast! I just ordered them Monday night! Oh, and my Bellas should be here tomorrow or the next day too! I know what I'll be doing this weekend!

I made this one for the sketch challenge on SCS. I just used ribbon where the paper strips were supposed to be. I received this adorable IPodabella image from WishRaks. She was colored with Copics of course! Well her boots were colored with an SU marker because I keep forgetting to order a black copic. I'm pretty sure I forgot to put on on the order I just placed too .-Stamps- Ipodabella, SU Boho Backgrounds

Stamp Something Challenge

Good morning! This weeks Stamp Something challenge is hosted by Alex. Her challenge to us is 3D Somethings. The possibilities are pretty much endless with this one! I decided to do a 3D image. I'm not sure if you can tell, but there are 4 layers in the flower. I decided to make a sympathy card because I don't have any and I like to have a stash of cards on hand. I took the picture at an angle to show the dimension of the flower, but at that angle it kind of hid most of the paper piercing on the basic black. I never realized how hard sympathy cards are! Maybe it's just me, but I had a really hard time with it. I kept wanting to add stuff, but it just didn't feel right on a sympathy card.

New Rubber!!

My Stampin' Up order came yesterday!! Woohoo!! I am LOVING Fifth Avenue Floral! And OMG, why did I wait so long to get Baja Breeze?! This color is gorgeous! I can see myself using this one a lot! I went to Hobby Lobby this past weekend to get a couple of Copics when they were on sale, and I grabbed a BG72 thinking, this looks kind of like Baja Breeze so I got it hoping I was right...well when I got my paper yesterday I compared them and they match perfectly!! I'm so happy to have a Copic in this color! It looks a tad more grey in the picture, but matches better IRL. I did this card for the sketch challenge on SCS.
