Stamping Bella - Bellarific Friday Blog Challenge

I'm just stopping in for a really quick post to show you a card I submit for this weeks Stamping Bella's Bellarific Friday's Inspiration Challenge.  This weeks challenge is to use this photo as your inspiration.  How fun is that??? I love all the fun and vibrant colors. 

 

 

For my card, I used Stamping Bella image - Little Emmy.  Emmy's quirky outfit along with all the brightly colored printed paper makes for a very fun card.  That fun sentiment says it all. 

 

 

 

Have a super weekend!

Stamping Bella - Sketch Challenge

It's been a very long time since I've had a chance to play along in the Stamping Bella Blog Challenge.  I finally had a chance this week so I couldn't resist.  I just had to play along. 

This weeks challenge is a sketch challenge and its a fun challenge at that.

For my card, I used Uptown Girl Audrey Love Her Makeup - one of my favorite stamps.  This classy image just needs to be done on black.   I matted the image on a shimmery black paper then matted it again on glittery red paper.  I do all my coloring with Copic markers. 

I've had fun playing along with this challenge.  I hope I get to do that again really soon.

Have an awesome weekend!

Easter Place Cards/ Party Favors

I spotted these cute little treat favors on SCS this morning and just knew I had to make some.   They are so cute!!  I have been hoping to make a treat that can double as a place card - this is exactly what I had envisioned.  I have been having coloring with my copic markers the last few days, so this little project fit right in.  I had so much fun making these and now the ideas are just running through my head - baby shower favors, wedding favors, birthday party favors.  These would work for basically any occasion from baby to adult.

Here is my version ~

Aren't they fun???  2 Hershey Nuggets fit in each of these.  I don't have any Nuggets on hand, but I was so excited how these turned out, that I decide to post them as is and I will add the nuggets later.  I made a set of 8 and plan on posting them in my Etsy shop as soon as the Nuggets are securely in place.

I embossed just the front panel on these to give them some texture, then I really popped the banner to give it a wave and make it look like its flowing.

Some day I will figure out how to add a link to my Etsy shop on my side bar - on my list of things to do.

The weather is absolutely goreous here in Central WI ~ 50+ degrees on March 10th is pretty amazing, so it was just a super day, I got chores done around the house but still got a really good walk in with my DH and still had time to play.   You can't beat that.  A litte work, a little play - that's what life is all about.

Hope you had as great a day as I did.
