Sew Crafty~

I was thinking to myself the other day as I was creating this fantabulous little card that crafting and friends are like peas and carrots. Some of my bestest friends are the ones that I connect with through crafting. It's an awesome way to share and connect.

Check out this gorgeous girl from Amber Ink. She is hot off of the press. Don't ya just love new digis? I know I sure do! I colored her in with my Copic Markers (are you getting tired of me saying that?). You may also notice the iPaper. It's fun and fabulous and I can print as many sheets as I need since it's digital. Talk about making your crafting $ go farther! LOVE IT! The ribbon is SU! and the flowers are Prima. Thanks for stopping by! TTFN~

Rain, Rain~

Even though it was August when I made this lovely little card featuring Amber Ink's brilliant stamps and ipaper I was inspired. Why you ask? Well, because it was grey and gloomy outside. That really didn't seem to dampen the spirits of this Amber Girl. She knows that she looks super smart in her yellow rubba boots.  She is singin' in the rain. :)

I colored her in with Copics (today she felt like a brunette ;) ), including the puddle. Said puddle also got a nice coating of Crystal effects for gloss and effect. Amber Girl is popping off of the card courtesy of dimensionals. The corners of this super fun ipaper were punched with my SU! Ticket Corner Punch, making it fun and fancy. I added a double scallop circle cut from my nesties. The sassy little sentiment is layered on a MFT Bracket Tab Die-namic. Thanks so much for stopping by. Be sure to check out the Amber Ink blog and treat yourself to fabulous projects created by the September torchbearers. You won't be disappointed!

A Journey~

Good Morning Stampers~ I have something kinda fun to share with you today. Actually I have been dying for days to share it! I am one of the Guest Designers for this weeks Paper Crafting Journey Challenge. They have a super fun sketch to play along with this week and the theme is Go Girly. I had so much fun making this card and taking my first crack at being a guest designer! 

Here is my card based on the sketch and theme.

Now I know that the colors of this card are not what one would traditionally think of as "Girly". They are Stella Rose from My Minds Eye. I have to say that they are gorgeous! The day that I sat down to make this card I had just found out that my sister is expecting baby #3! I was so excited that I just had to make her a card, and this is what came together. I figured that there is quite possibly nothing quite as "girly" as being pregnant. So, there you have it! I do hope you will hop on over to Paper Crafting Journey and play along with us this week! We would love to see your "girly" creations! 

Until next time!
