Exciting News!!!

I was so excited when I found out I made the design team for a new blog called Cardabilities!  I bet you can't guess what I'll be making;)  The first reveal is April 15th so make sure you sign up and become a follower.

Karan, the owner of the blog, also has a layout blog called Sketchabilities and a forum where we can all chit chat.  See you over there!

Thanks so much Karan for this great opportunity.

Happy Tuesday!

I know it is only Tuesday but I hope everyone is having a good week so far.  I went to see Hairspray tonight and it was fabulous!  If you ever get the chance to see it you won't be disappointed.  This was actually my second time, I saw it in NYC a couple of years ago.  George Wendt played the mother and was hilarious! 

I made this card for the Clean and Simple Challenge at Splitcoast Stampers.  You were suppose to use two different shapes on the card.  I used my new SU punch for the hearts and didn't use one single stamp, oh no!  I really like how it turned out.

Supplies: Paper: Kaiser Crafts; Other: SU Punch, Cuttlebug Folders, and Inking.

Just My Sketches Reveal #2

It's March 15th so that means another reveal at Just My Sketches!  This time the songs you can use are:

TIME

Hootie and the Blowfish

HAVE I TOLD YOU LATELY
Rod Stewart

I DON'T FEEL LIKE DANCIN'
Scissor Sisters

MORE BEAUTIFUL YOU
Jonny Diaz

FIREFLIES
Owl City

I decided on More Beautiful You because at the beginning of the song it talks about how a girl wants to be like the women in a magazine but that she is just perfect the way she is...kind of like a flower.  People don't say look at that flawed flower...do they???

Supplies: Paper: PTI; Stamp: Bugaboo; Copics: BG10, BG15, YG17, YR16, Y15, R14, RV17; Other: Stickles, Glossy Accents, Pearls, Thickers, PTI Ribbon and Button, and SU Twine.

It's Almost Friday....

Here is a card I made from a sketch at Eat Sleep Stamp.  I just love this KaiserCraft paper I bought, it's so pretty.  Then I was really excited when I found a bottle of The Robins Nest that matches my paper perfectly.
