time gets away...

Every time I think I have a few moments to stamp I stamp out as much as I can, because I know my time will be fleeting. Like it was this week! Luckily we headed to a birthday party so I had an excuse to make a birthday card for a little girl. I got to play with a new set from My Cute Stamps, the little girl stamps are super cute! Since I didn't have a lot of time I went with one of my simple go to layouts! I use this quite a bit when time is short.

As you can see from my Copic picture I had a lot of blending to do with purple since I choose some darker colors. It took a lot of coloring the image but was really happy in the end!

easter baskets...

I've seen the top note bags all over splitcoast so I forced to pick one up the top note die from stampin up! This was a super cute bag to make and decorate.

First I cut two top note dies in my cuttlebug, again thanks to splitcoast I found a sandwich that worked for me. (B plate, paper, die and B plate) Then I pasted a cut brown lunch bag in between the two dies, this will hold the eggs/goodies. Next I used the window word punch for a way to hold the bag and decorated the outside with the Jelly Beans set from My Cute Stamps and paper frills from Doodlebug. Being that's it is Easter this bunny is on serious rotation in my craft room!

hoppy birthday...

I was able to sneak a few stamping hours today and was able to finish a card or two. Things have been hectic with my little one's birthday party planning but it's finally behind me. April shows no sign of slowing down so I'm dreaming of May when life can return to a slow pace. This is a card for the K Werner Color Challenge and the colors were very pretty and soft. I wanted to break out some new stamps I ordered a few weeks back from My Cute Stamps. The little bunny is adorable and I added a little flock on her tail for a fluffier look!

spring is here...

Here I go again with the spring time colors! I guess I find myself excited for spring, more than anything the pool is calling my name!

The layout is from 2Peas in a bucket, a year in cards with KWerner. Lately my go to tool is anything scalloped!

Fairy and the Castle

Here's a quick card for an upcoming birthday for a little girl. I am loving these new stamps! During Christmas I came across doodlebug glitter paper and I picked up a few sheets to use. Unfortunately I did not pick up yellow so I made my own which turned the same but used quite a bit of glitter.

I'm still practicing with using Copic markers, shading is rough!

KWerner Color Inspiration #38

It's been way too long since I last posted but I guess that's how things go sometimes. I've always been a lurker on the KWerner site so I decided to come out of the shadows and give it a shot. The stamps are from My Cute Stamps which I also found via KWerner's site. These stamps were so cute I ordered two sets and I can't wait to pick up more!
