Mojo Monday 290 ~ Mothers Day

 This sketch inspired me to make this beautiful card. I used Fiskar stamps for the flowers. I inked the edges of all the rectangles to make them pop a bit more. The sentiment is a Studio G stamp.

The butterfly is a Heidi Swapp embellishment sprayed with Chartreuse (green) Color Shine. I am loving Heidi Swapp right now. The paper is DCWV.

I really enjoy sketches. They help me get inspired. Now time to go link up to Mojo Monday.

Here is a drawing book that I decorated for my niece. I bought a set of two drawing books from Marshal's and put pretty paper on the cover. 

These penguins are from Simply Charmed. The letter are from Plantin School Book.

These lion is from Create a Critter.

She likes penguins.

I made this quite awhile ago and havent posted it yet. She liked it and hopefully you do to.

Stampin Up Flower Mothers Card

Here is my first Mother's Day Card for 2013. I used Stampin Up stamps for the flowers. I am a huge fan of this set. I like how it looks almost hand drawn. 

This is a dollar stamp I got a long time ago.

Aren't these flowers lovely!
I just want to say thank you to all my followers! It means a lot to know that so many people like my projects. I always notice when one leaves and feel a little sad. Isn't that silly :) I have not been crafting as much lately. For some reason I just don't have the want to do it. I am hoping to make somethings this weekend. I miss my creations. Anywho thanks for sticking with me.

SNS Cute and Cuddly Challenge

 Sweet N Sassy is having a cute and cuddly challenge. I made a few cards for the occasion.

 I made the backgrounds using strips of zig zag paper on top of white paper. I sprayed the whole thing with glitter spray. The images I used are two of my favorite SNS images. The top one is Cocoa's Gift. All of the Cocoa images are cute. He is what drew me to SNS. I colored him with Copics, cut him out with a Spellbinders and inked the edges.

This image I love because it is so versatile. Olivia Celebrates comes with many different options for her to hold. I will be using her often.

 Here is a Valentine's card I did not have a chance to post. See she can be used in so many ways.

I colored the owl with Copics on both cards. I added Glossy accents to the balloon and party hat on the birthday card. I hope you will all come join in the fun with your cute and cuddly cards over at Sweet N Sassy!
