MOJO96 - Fairy Tales

This is my submission for last week's Verve sketch MOJO96. I didn't get this card done before Mr. Linky closed so I will post the link in a comment on the MOJO blog. I used the set Fairy Tales from Verve Stamps while my friend Mercy was over stamping with me yesterday. I think she has every stamp set Verve makes. LOL!! I saw this color combo (Melon Mambo, Basic Black and White) in the new SU catty and loved it so I just had to use it when I made this card. I have no designer paper on this card, can you believe it? I also distressed the edges of the 3 long panels and I never do that either. I like clean lines on my cards but I was trying to go out of the box on this card. I hope you like it.

Thanks for stopping by today and I hope your week is going well. I'll talk to you soon.

Hugs,

MTSC32 - I Have Time For You

Here is my card for Mercy's Tuesday Sketch Challenge MTSC32. Can everybody say "Woohoo"? I'm so glad Mercy is back to having her sketches on her own blog.

I pulled out one of my retired SU sets called Time For You. The image was colored in with Copic Markers. I added some Martha Stewart Butterflies with some bling on them for sparkle.

MOJO97 - Forever in Our Hearts

This is my submission for today's MOJO Monday Sketch MOJO97. I used the stamp set Forever in Our Hearts that I received free from Verve for being one of the winners of the MOJO Monday Sketch MOJO94. Woohoo, thank you Julee and Verve design team. This is an awesome set that has some wonderful sayings for those times in your life when words are hard to say.

Thanks for coming by again today and I'll see you in just a little bit with my card for Mercy's Tuesday Sketch Challenge. I'll talk to you soon.

Hard to Say - LPS Sketch

This is for last Monday's sketch from the Little Paper Shop LPS25. I used my new set from SU called Hard to Say. Wow this set has some amazing sayings in it. I stamped the saying on a piece of the light purple from the DP pack Cottage Wall. Yes, I have been using it a lot lately but I absolutely love it. For the people that don't know me, purple is my favorite color. Thank you SU for this awesome designer pack. LOL!! The sentiment was then cut out with Oval Nesties and mounted with dimensionals. I could not get a good pic of the card. For some reason my camera has a hard time getting the colors correct when purple is involved. The DP is much prettier in person.

Thanks for coming by today and I hope you have a wonderful start to your week. Don't forget to stop by tomorrow for a sketch card from Mercy's Tuesday Sketch Challenge [Lord Have Mercy]. Mercy has a Tuesday sketch challenge every week and you'll want to stop by to see what all the awesome designers have come up with. Have a great day and I'll talk to you soon.

Treehouse Thursday Challenge #007 & Blog Candy!

This is for the challenge on the Treehouse Blog from this past Thursday to make a 3x3 note card box. You can find the instructions here to make this project. I used the sentiment from the set Birthday Cupcake by Treehouse Stamps. The butterflies are from a Martha Stewart punch and they each have a Kaiser Rhinestone on their back. The DP is from the Cottage Wall pack from SU.

News and An Announcement

I just wanted to give you an update in case you noticed some changes on my blog. I am no longer a designer for Stamps and Smiles. This was a personal decision that I was forced to make this week, and I feel like it was the right thing for me to do. I have removed any and all links associated with that company. I felt it was time to move on.

I have been asked by Mercy Kerin to rejoin her design team for her Tuesday Sketch Challenges. She is restarting her sketch challenges back on her blog this coming week starting Tuesday, the 28th. Here is a list of all the awesome designers that are joining Mercy's team. We are known as Mercy's Muses.

Pam Speidel

Cindy Haffner

Julie Lacey

Crystal Birr

Jackie Pedro

Jessica Diedrich

and Me

I will be back later today with a 3x3 note card holder. Thanks for stopping by today and I'll talk to you soon.

Hugs,

I used my new Limited Edition Hippie Anya for this card. Isn't she groovy?? I love her. I made her bright and funky as I do most of my cards, well bright anyway.
