Kimmie's challenge#5

My photo is a little dark sorry about that. I made this for Kimmie's challenge # 5 to use patterned paper and hearts. I used dcwv paper and my heart is a confetti heart at the bottom along with the hearts in the dp that I used to paper piece the xoxo stamp but it's hard to tell that they are hearts. I have a lot to get done tonight so this is really short. Thanks for visiting.

stamps-xoxo(imaginisce), sensational seals(ctmh)
ink-tuxedo black(memento), tulip(ctmh)
dp-spring pack(dcwv)

Kimmie's challenge#2 & CBCC#24


Kimmie's challenge # 2 was a sketch challenge and to use embossing. For my card I used another doodle factory stamp this one is of the adorable robot named blip from the urban set. I used my cuddle bug embossing folder then sanded it so the white shows through. I also had to add the hugs stamp so I can use it as a valentine card for Courtney's challenge #24 to make a masculine valentine. Thanks for visiting.

Hey Cupcake


It's another one of Kimmie's challenges I have made cards for all of her challenges so you get to see them for the next few days. This one is challenge #1 to use purple and make it a birthday card. I don't really like this card much I think I should have put another white circle behind the purple scallop so it would stand out more but I had already glued it down and I didn't want to risk tearing the cupcake image. I used liquid applique but it was very old and came out tan instead of white luckily it still puffed up still, and didn't look to bad. I then used glossy accents on the cherry.Oh and one last thing I used shimmerz on my flowers it showed up pretty well in my photo I was surprised. Well thanks for visiting and have a great day.

What I used
stamps-sweet n hearts(doodle factory starving artist stamps), hey there cupcake(stampendous)
ink-tuxedo blakc(memento), amethyst(ctmh)

Hogs and Kisses



I had planed on posting this last night but instead I went to bed early. This card was made for another one of Kimmie's challenges this one is challenge # 4 to use an animal stamp and ribbon or rick rack. I just love these little doodle factory piggies from starving artists they are so cute I colored them in with my copics and put a little shimmerz on their snouts and the hearts. For the sentiment I didn't have any thing that worked so I wrote my own with my signo white gel pen. hope you all have a wonderful day and thanks for visiting.

Belli Challenge#53

Each week Chrissy chooses a new guest designer for the week and this week I was chosen to be the guest designer I'm so excited.
What is the Belli Challenge you ask?
Each week, Chrissy tries to give us a challenge that will use things we have lying around our stamp rooms or homes! With a constant flow of new things coming out, we tend to forget about the other things we have and they quickly become clutter!This weeks, Belli Challenge is to make something for Valentine's or use hearts.
