Scrap It Forward Challenge #1

Scrap It Forward is a brand new blog site that I'm all excited about. Jenn, Christine and Illyse will host a card and scrap challenge for free goodies as well as a giving to others challenge.This is the card that I made for the card challenge. I used Stampin' Up!'s Raspberry Tart Designer Paper the Heart to Heart Punch and the Love you Much Stamp Set.

Stamps: Love You Much
Card Stock: Whisper White, Cameo Coral and Raspberry Tart Designer Paper
Inks: Basic Black, White Gel Pen
Other: Heart to Heart Punch, Rose Red Ribbon, Green Rhinestone Brad and Dazzling Diamond Glitter.


For the giving challenge I have a big box filled for the Goodwill. They will be selecting the winners on Feb. 14.

I've been tagged twice!

I can't believe that I've been tagged twice. The first one came from my UK Blog Friend Lorraine who is having a candy giveaway this week so check out her site. The second came from my scrapping friend Ivan at Memories Makers. Now for the task, all I have to do is to pick the 6th picture from the 6th folder in my pictures and post it. It sounds easy except I do not have any Pictures on this computer to share!

Courtney's Challenge #22

This is my first time trying Courtney's sketch, I had so much fun with it. I' m in love with this stamp set and paper, it's perfect for all Valentine projects. I stamped, cut and then water colored my birds, the one in the O has a paper pieced wing. My hearts are punched from the new Heart to Heart Stampin' Up! punch and around the little red hearts I added white dots too. You can't see the sparkle but I did add some Dazzling Diamond glitter to the inside of the love and a purple rhinestone brad to the center of the flower. I'm really happy with the way it turned out!
Thanks for looking!

Kazan's Sketch #18

Kazan from 2 Sketches 4 You created this fun sketch for all to try. One lucky winner will receive a Scor-it. For my card, I used Nana's Kids paper by DCWV. I love the colors and texture, it gives so much dimension to a simple card. The sweet stamp was from one of Stampin' UP!'s last years Celebration sets called So Many Scallops that I stamped on vellum and punched out with my large circle punch . I also circle punched some star and added some buttons with floss tied in the centers. I always have the best time creating with Kazan and Laura's sketches, make sure to go to their site to see what the other crafters have posted.

Happy New Year!

Happy New Year Everyone!
This is two of the cards that I made for the Cards 4 Kids, it's simple, but cute and sparkly. The glitter cards I bought from Ikea a few years ago. The Fish and the Kangaroo came from an old 2004 SU stamp set called Toucan of My Love. I water colored the fish and then added red and clear glitter glue and threw on some fancy eyes. The Kangaroo is chalked, heart is stickled and fancy eyes were added.
