For my card today I knew right away this crazy girl would be perfect for the party. She is called Party Hardy by Saturated Canary one of my all time favorite stamp lines, love coloring all that hair.  I started off with the Sweet Sunday Sketch SSSC154 and used some fun papers from the Girls' Paperie.

Today is my Mom's Birthday too and she had a special request which was for me to make her a photo tray to start keeping her cards in so here is the first to remember the big 60 (she may kill me now):)

The Sweet Stop Sketch 150

Happy St. Patrick's Day!! Are you wearing your green? I will be making a yummy corned beef and cabbage today in the crock pot for the occasion.  The girls are super excited because tonight the Girl Scouts are celebrating a 100 years and we are going to Build a Bear party.

I want to remind you about the CMC Classroom's 2nd Birthday Bash starting Monday the 19th.  You DO NOT have to be enrolled in the classes to join in the fun.  There will be a lot of prizes and the grand prize is a Vagabond Machine by Tim Holtz, how cool is that?  The DT has a Blog Hop that you won't want to miss as well.
 Now on to  The Sweet Stop Sketch with a spin we want to see that green and that also means there s a prize up for grabs, woohoo!!  I have to say I had a hard time with the green, only because I didn't have that much in my stash that coordinated but it all worked out.

Pin It

I used one of my neglected rubber stamps from The Greeting Farm called Miss Anya Love and gave her a little Irish feel.  The papers are some oldies Basic Grey Origin, I believe.  The border punch is Martha Stewart and then I added my new Memory Box die at the top called Fauntleroy Crest that I picked up from SCACD.

The Sweet Stop Sketch 149

It s Saturday and that means it is time for another The Sweet Stop Sketch and a fast post for me.  It has been a crazy tiring week and my words are getting all jumbled as I type this.
I used this weeks sketch SSS149 to create another birthday card but this time for a boy who is turning 6. 

 

Pin It

I really love this sketch so I bet you will see me using it again.  I created the baseballs using the 1 1/4 circle punch red Copic and the multi-liner.  I had bought some to put on it but it just didn't seem right not being hand made. The stamp is from Pink Cat Studio called Sporty Billy.

The Sweet Stop Sketch 148

Hello!! Did everyone have a good week? Mine was good but it went fast.  I am hopefully going to be finishing the murals in my son's room this weekend so we can get ready for a tile install Monday..that will be madness with three kids and two dogs, yikes!!

It is time for another The Sweet Stop Sketch SSS148 .  I made this for Riley's very best friend who will be celebrating her birthday next week and who happens to love Hello Kitty.  The image is a free coloring page that I found on line.  I tried to keep the coloring book feel in my coloring and used the bright girly papers from Doodlebug Designs.  The Flowers are from C.C. Designs Five Point Flower and the ribbon is from the craft store.

 Before I forget Marie Gamber gave me this wonderful Blog Award and I wanted to tell her how much her kind words mean to me.  Marie is a super talented colorist so you really must stop by and check out her work right HERE.  Thank you!! Now I have to pass it on to others but I have been so overwhelmed with home and work I just haven't been able to gather my thoughts but soon things will settle down.

 

Have a wonderful weekend!!

Wryn Photo Tray Part 2

Hello everyone, I hope you are having a good week.  It is flying by here as always, so much to do and so little time.   I have just a couple of things I wanted to remind you about.

Ink Spots

*The day has arrived that Blogger is removing the option to "Follow" if you are not a blogger user your self.  Please sign up using the Linky Follower or email option on my side bar if you want to keep up with me, I don't want to lose you:)

*CMC Copic Challenge Group still has a few days left of the Bright Colors Lots of Laughs challenge and you can find all of the details here.  There will be a new challenge starting Saturday.

As you may remember I am working on my Wryn Photo Tray for the CMC Copic Challenge group and here it is. I used Tiddly Inks Wryn Spring Bling along with the Prima Madeline paper (I hope it holds out to make 4 more). I have to say it is a little challenging working on a 4x6 area, not a lot of room for layers amd such.

 

Pin It

The roses were made using MFT Dienamics Mini Rolled Roses, the swirl is from Sizzix and the Lacey Eyelet Border from Sweet 'n Sassy.  The letters are from K&Company and I added a little sparkle to the flowers Wryn is holding using the Stardust Stickles.

Party Time Tuesday- #57Anything Goes

I hope this post made sense I am so tired and completely forgot to get this posted yesterday.  Have a wonderful crafty day!!

Bath Treat

Hello peeps!! I meant to post this the other day but my mind isn't what it use to be. I blame the 3 kids sucking all of my brain cells out because I have found out they are too smart for their own good:)  Oh well better late than never I always say.

 So I made these little babies for teacher's gifts for Valentine's Day.  I found the original idea on Pintrest and HERE is the link(side note: I went to Pintrest to link and just wasted 40 mins..LOL).  I tweaked mine a bit though.  I found this fun float cup at Hobby Lobby and used the light pink plastic party favor bag to hold these yummy smelling bath salts from Target.  I closed it up good folded the bag over the cup and taped on the scrubbie.  I couldn't find any bath oil beads so I just made a cherry on top with paper.  I came up with my own little verse to attach to the float.  Now I could have gotten fancier with them and next time I probably will but I did 4 of these in 45 minutes start to finish., yep that is how I do things:)

Ink Spots

*Don't forget about the latest CMC Copic Challenge Bright Colors and Laughs.

* Latest The Sweet Stop Sketch SSS147

That is it for now, I have lots of crafting to do tomorrow.  Have a great one!!
