Happy Birthday

to me.  Yep today is my birthday and for the first time a several years I'm not at some exotic local sitting by a pool drinking fruity drinks.  But I'm not sad because my parent's are here so that means my Mom will be making me a birthday cake!!  Yep Angel food with no icing (since I don't like icing & it's my cake!!) just some fruit YUM!!

ANYWAYS I'm sure your not here to hear about my birthday plans; you're here for Karen's Sweet Sunday Sketch (SSSC148).  


I used Stamping Bella's Birthday Definition Block and then lots of dp. 


 The dp is Basic Greys Indie Bloom.  Now I must admit I meant to sew on the bottom layer but had it all put together then I realized I forgot (oops)  The flower is MFT's die-namic prima donna petals.  I added an orange rhinestone in the centre. 

Please stop by the rest of the Sweet Sunday Stampers blogs to see their creations and if you play along with us this week don't forget to link your card on Karen's blog.  

We are taking a break for the rest of the year BUT will be back on Sunday January 1, 2012 with a new sketch!! 


Thanks for stopping by & have a great day

On top of the World

Happy Sunday - it's been a hectic week for me but I was able to work ahead this month and get my Sweet Sunday posts done.  Karen has a great sketch for us SSSC147 - so much so I didn't even flip it!!


For my card today I inked up a Stamping Bella image that I've had forever but don't think it had been inked up yet - Addy'tude is on top of the World by Tiddly Inks 


As usual the image is stamped with memento tuxedo black ink onto bella's bestest paper and coloured with copics.  For her glasses I decided to make them sunglasses so I used a black glaze pen.  For the bling in her jewels I used a gelly roll pen.  I shaded around the image with pencils and gamsol then added some glitter.  The dp is MME's lime twist Fly a Kite.

Please stop by the rest of the Sweet Sunday Stampers blogs to see their creations and if you play along with us this week remember to link your card to Karen's blog.

Thanks for stopping by & have a great day - I'm getting ready for my parent's arrival on Thursday!!

Popping By

Hope you are all having a great week - I'm trying to get holiday cards out & shopping done so it's shipped on time - fa la la la la!! 

I bought part of my brothers family's gift this summer and left it with my Mom but I needed just a little something to finish it off.   Now when you live in a small town & go places you get your favourite spots that you can't get at home and this summer I discovered they love Kernals Popcorn for the drive home from any vacation so I grabbed them a gift card.  Now I started making a simple gift card holder and ended up making this tag which I realized would qualify for MFTGUESTDT1211



I inked up MFT's Pure Innocence Popping By.  I stamped the image with memento tuxedo black ink and coloured it with copics.  I paper pieced her top, and made it look layered since it's winter!  For the popcorn container I used a red atyou spica pen and a gelly roll pen.  The dp paper is MME's Holly Jolly 6x6 pad (love these!!)  For the sentiment I used MFT's die-namics first place ribbon award.  I love the ribbons from this die-namics for my sentiments it's so versatile!

Now my master plan was to send this tag to my Mom to put on their gift, but I have less then a week before she comes here for Christmas so I will send it to my brother & ask him to put it on his own gift - only a little tacky right?! 

Thanks for stopping by & have a great day

SSSC 146 - time for Tea

Happy Sunday I'm happy I had time to work on Karen's SSSC 146 - she has another great sketch for us 


YES I flipped the sketch - not intentionally but because I changed my mind on the dp layers and had to work with the image going the right way (since it mattered in which direction they went) 


For my card I inked up Stamping Bella's Tilly the Teacup Girl from the Green Bean Baby line.  The image is stamped with memento tuxedo black ink onto bella's bestest cream paper and coloured with copics.  I paper pieced the teacup and the flowers in her hair.  The ds paper is from  MME's Quite Contrary Jack & Jill 6x6 pad.  I added a prima flower with a prima sculpture flower in the centre and a die-namics small scallop border.  On the centre of the teacup flowers I used a turquoise atyou spica pen.

Please stop by the rest of the Sweet Sunday Stampers blogs to see their creations and if you play along with us this week don't forget to link your card on Karen's blog


Thanks for stopping by & have a great day!!

The final chapter...

The image is coloured with copics and paper pieced onto the calendar.  For the buttons on her coat I used a lipstick red atyou spica pen.
