Butterbean

I thought this bunny was just so cute. I found him at Michaels. I was searching for some UTEE, I know that I bought some from Joannes and I just can't find it...that is so irritating to me! ugghhh! I couldn't find the UTEE but couldn't resist browsing the stamp isle. I was on a hunt for a St. Patricks Day image and couldn't find any, and this bunny hopped into my basket.
I colored him in with Copics. The dp is from K&Company, Que Sera Sera.
Thanks for the visit.
I have a busy weekend ahead so I probably won't be posting or making anything new. I'll hopefully be back on Monday.

Finger Food

I'm still working on a card for my friend Pat. She's really my best friend, the one that I have known since we were babies! I really wasn't happy with the card that I made yesterday so I worked on another one today. I think that I am going to send the other card to my sister in California who is having a little problem with her X. I think that she'll get a chuckle out of it. Anyway, getting back to these cards...I have to say that I love this image. The stamp image is from Stamps Happen and is called Finger Food. I think that she is a riot!
My friend Pat loves Martinis. Her nick name is Aunt Olive. Whenever you ask her what she wants to drink, she'll say something like, Oh just something light...Vodka on the rocks with Olives! LOL! so we nick named her Aunt Olive!
The little Martini glass is an image from Stampingbella. I stamped 4 images of the martini glass and used crystal effects on each layer to create a little charm to add to the ribbon. I then sprinkled some dazzling diamonds on the image to give it a little bling. All the glasses in the main image have crystal effects on them. It really looks great in person.
After I finished putting the card together, I thought that it was missing something so I added the buttons on the ribbon. Now, I'm not sure which way I like it better! lol too late now!!!!
Thanks for the visit!

Stamps Happen

Reading a thread on Splitcoast Stampers this morning I was inspired to take out my prismacolor pencils and gamasol. I haven't worked with them in a long time. I find that the finished product is so beautiful but also very time consumming. Lately all the things that i have been creating are for this craft fair that is this Saturday...and i haven't really taken the time to really work with something that i am definately not going to put on a table for sale.

Here are two cards that i made today. Both stamps are from Stamps Happen and were purchased from http://www.janlynn.com/. Lots of coloring and then sponging. I made these into cards but i am still thinking about matting them a little more and putting them into frames. As always, thanks for looking.

Ohh La La

The other day while i was stalking at TJ Max I found this really pretty shoe box. It was pink, black, white and vanilla and had the greatest print of shoes on it. I thought, wow, i could so make a card like this. So I came home and started thinking and realized that i didn't have a good shoe image to use. I have SU Steppin Style, but those images were too small, although they are great to stamp the envie!

I searched and found the perfect stamp to use and ordered it from http://www.janlynn.com/ it arrived in something like 3 days. So here are the projects that i worked on today, using my new stamp from Stamps Happen, Art in Motion, En Vogue Shoe. TFL!

do you think anyone saw me?

I couldn't resist...i think that this image is hysterical...it's a classic! I was going to embellish the card and thought that "Stella" was enough woman for this card front. I even broke out my stash of the new color cs...I think i only left out 2 colors...lol ....sometimes i tend to just hoard things and don't use them because they're new...that makes no sense, right? It's kind of like when your eating and you save your favorite thing in the dish to eat last....

i think that my favorite new color is the purely pom...grovey gauve's not so bad either....and then again i love river rock and wild wasabi. feel free to let Stella know what you think of her eating all the olives out of the martinis! the nerve of some people!

Buzzzzzzzzzzzzzz

I have been into the whimsy lately. This one is called Bees from Stamps Happen Inc. They make me smile, I hope they make you smile too.
