SC163 - Technically it is Wednesday . . .

I am up way too late again . . . but I just wanted to do the sketch challenge and I really wanted to play with my new MFT stamp set (Eggstra Special Easter). I seriously am infatuated with the bunny in this set. He is so cute! His ears are so big!!! Anyway, lucky for me, Shelly posted the sketch early, which is awesome since I am having guests tomorrow and SO will not have time tomorrow morning to play . . .

Here is my card for today. I am excited about the fresh colors and I actually like the sketch. I used my cuttlebug on it too, which is like amazing since I always forget I even have it. Haha! I chose the close to cocoa and the blush blossom and then I needed something to go with it, so I went to the color picker page (see my sidebar) and it offered bashful blue and soft sky in different combinations with those two aforementioned colors, so I decided to try it and I love it! I found the ribbon, by cosmocricket in my ribbon jar and it matched so nicely! The card is so shimmery in reality. I will have to take a picture in the morning when the lighting is better. I would go on, but I really need to go clean up my kitchen because unfortunately the house elves are not going to magically do it for me *giggles -- I wish*

HANNA PREVIEW: For the Soul

This set is totally cool! I have not seen anything like it! I think it is perfect for a sympathy card, a thinking of you, a little hand out at church, maybe even for cards at Easter (thinking ahead here) etc. It is so CUTE! Hanna looks so angelic and well, to be completely honest, reminds me of my little sister (not sure why). I used the sketch at Card Positioning Systems (#83) for the layout. I was going for a "touched by an angel" look on the main image (and I think I kind of created that.) I used vellum to overlay the image to give it that glossy fuzz (soft focus).

(SSD06) and BLOG HOP

Hey guys! Happy 2010! I was so not ready for vacation to be done when I had to send my kids back to school yesterday! *sad face* We had such a fantastic break! Guess what though? Lots of fun stuff for you today! First, HAPPY 8th ANNIVERSARY TO MY CUTE, CHARMING, and WONDERFUL husband! I am seriously the luckiest woman! He is so good to me and makes me laugh and smile! We've grown so much together in 8 years and being my opposite he has taught me a lot and for that I will forever be grateful! *tears* I can hardly believe how fast the time has flown by. I am excited for the years to come. ********** Enough sappy Manda, introducing the Skipping Stones Design Blop Hop .

HANNA PREVIEW: Vintage Toys & A Color Challenge For YOU

This set is a lot of fun! It has SO many possibilities -- birthdays, Christmas, new baby . . . AWESOME! I made a couple cards to show you with it. The first one uses the adorable bear in it. I instantly thought of a baby card when I saw this guy (who knows why I have babies - specifically baby boys on the brain - only 11 weeks left *giggles*). I used a sketch from Limelight Papercrafts (Sketch #4) to create the layout of this card! Both of these two cards also work perfectly for today's challenge on Hanna Stamps (Create a card or item using 2 or more embellishments). This card uses ribbon, sewing machine stitching and buttons. Stamps : Vintage Toys (Hanna Stamps), Karen Foster Design Snap Stamps (Small Casual) Paper : Lily Kate (Basic Grey), Bashful Blue (SU!), Certainly Celery (SU!), Whisper White (SU!), Neenah Solar White Ink : Onyx Black Versafine, Colorbox Pigment Brush Pad - Frost White Accessories : clear embossing powder, white gel pen, copic markers, white bu...
