Hello! I made this card today for the 5th sketch challenge on Card Patterns. You can find it at http://cardpatterns.blogspot.com. I kind of went abstract with the sketch, but tried to stay A LITTLE within the lines! After perusing my A-E stamp book, I came across Ms. Bubble Queen, and thought that with the two circles on the sketch, that this would be perfect with bubbles all around her! I really wish my camera could take better pictures, but nothing can capture real life! The bubbles just sparkle with Dazzling Diamonds! For the scallops on the first layer, and underneath the bubbles, that is actually a metal sheet. Since I was using metal, I couldn't use anything but scissors to cut through it. So, that's why the circles aren't perfect. I apologize!
Happy Stamping!!!
Take a bubble bath today!

I recently came across a thread in the MFT Forum on Splitcoast that they are having a contest for the MFT Idol! So, I wanted to make something completely out of the box. I think this did it! I used 3 different sets: And Then I Said, Here's the Scoop, and Icing On the Cake. (Because we were only allowed to use MFT stamps). Not a problem for me, as I have collected quite a few! LOL! I was coloring the girl in from And Then I Said, and when I got to the tank top, I thought, if I kept this white, it could be an apron, and then my mind started going, and I came up with the ice cream shop! Something completely different. I didn't want to come up with something that someone else had thought of first. As far as I could tell, anyway! The only thing I took from someone was "cutting" the girl's hair, which the idea came from Melanie Muenchinger. So, thank you Melanie!!!! Fabulous idea!!!!
Hope you like it!
Happy Stamping!!!
These 12 bag toppers are for a friend of mine who commissioned me to make for her to give away as gifts. These were fun to make! She's going to put tealights in a cellophane bag, and then top with one of these! Instant gifts!

This card was made for the weekly Card Patterns sketch challenge. I thought that this little cowboy would be perfect in the little oval. So, I used the cowboy as my main inspiration. I used the star paper as inspiration for the stars down the card. And since my son is all about being the sherriff, and always getting the bad guys, this card is for him!

Over at AllyScraps, their next card challenge is to make a birthday card because today is Dr. Suess' birthday, and the challenging part is to put a rhyme on your card! I paged through my stamaps, and I came across Give Thanks (SU!) and saw the apples in the bucket. And I thought of one of my favorite Dr. Suess books "Ten Apples Up On Top". So, I thought I would do that. And then I realized that apples wouldn't make sense for a birthday card. But, what about candles?! So, I stamped and cut out some candles, and you can see them on the second picture as you withdraw the cardstock behind the frog! Just thought it would be kind of cute to see how many candles there might be! Anyway, my rhyme says: Do the birthday hop! How many candles are up on top?! So, it's kind of mirroring that book. Oh, I just remembered that I forgot to put googly eyes on the frog. I'll do that before I give it away. I may save it for either my grandfather who just turned 80, or my husband who's birthday is later this month. We'll see what else I can come up with!
Happy Stamping!!!
I was recently commissioned to make baby shower invitations. The theme in the nursery is rainforesty/jungleesque type. So, I grabbed a baby set, a Hawaiian set, It's a Jungle Out There by MFT and Pocket Fun from SU!. I can't remember what the Hawaiian set's name is. It has Aloha in there and a surfboard. Anyway, I wanted to capture the green that is rampant in this theme. So, I chose Gable Green and Green Galore and then added my animals!
I used my largest circle and scalloped circles nestibilities to create this window.
Happy Stamping!!!
