Cupcake Craft #28

This week we have a sketch challenge for you using this sketch


We also have a wonderful sponsor The Cutting Cafe who is offering the randomly chosen winner 3 sets of their choice! How cool is that? The Design Team were given the All About Cupcakes set to use with the sketch this week. Here is my take on it To play along just make a card using this sketch and then go to the Cupcake Craft blog and use Mr. Linky to link your creation so we can see (Also when using Mr Linky could you please link to your exact post not your blog.) . A randomly chosen winner will win the sets donated by The Cutting Cafe, but you also have a chance to be chosen as the Top 5 for this challenge and you get a special blinkie for your blog.
My card also qualifies for another challenge "3D somethings" over at Stamp Something Challenge Blog.

details for my card:
Image and Sentiment ~ The Cutting Cafe ~ All About Cupcakes
Cardstock ~ CTMH ~Cocoa
Design Paper ~ GCD Studios, Imaginence
Misc ~ Copics, Bling, Shimmerz Paint, Nestibilities, MS Lace Punch

Sugar Bowl #4 ~ ONE! ~

The challenge for the Sugar Bowl is ONE! which means Create a card using only one piece of patterned design paper. This was indeed a challenge because I love layering papers and using more than one piece of Design Paper, but I had fun! The image was Rak'd to me by the sweet Kathy so I could play in the Sugar Bowl.

details for my card:
Image ~ Sugar Nellie~Strawberry Tea
Cardstock ~ CTMH ~Desert Sand, Sorbet
Design Paper~ K&Co
Misc ~ MS leaf Punch, Primas, Copics

MoJo 74

Wow I did not realize how long it has been since I posted. This weekend was Disciple Now weekend at church and I was getting ready for that and had no time for stamping. I have to tell you that God showed up this weekend and it was AMAZING! This morning at the conclusion service we baptized 14 students! And God is not done yet for greater things are yet to come and greater things are still to be done in this city!
So this afternoon I had time to sit, relax and make some cards. I started with the Mojo Monday challenge since tomorrow a new sketch will be up and I really loved this sketch so I am glad I found time to make a card with it.

The details
Cardstock ~ CTMH Juniper and Sorbet
Design Paper ~ 29th Street

4 In 1 Sneek Peek

Hello again Stampers,
Today is Belli day and the challenge is Inchies well it hit me that I have a sneek peek at a Digi Image from Sweet N' Sassy( will be released by the end of the week) that is an inch worm so how appropriate right? So I made some inchies from my Caterpillar and then also downsized him and cut him out to put on the bottom of my card this shows you how versatile these digital stamps are and the fact that you can use them right away is instant gratification. So how does my card qualify for four challenges?, well the first would be the Belli Challenge~INCHIES, the second is Courtney's (who by the way drew this worm) Challenge Chick Challenge~BUBBLE WRAP, third is a color challenge at Sweet N' Sassy Blog which is COLOR ME GREEN, to use Green Galore, Glorious Green and Gold and last but not least is the challenge at Daring Cardmakers is FEELING GREEN

Belli Challenge 55 ~INCHIES~

It's Belli Day

This weeks, Belli Challenge is to make a project with INCHIES! In case you don't know what an Inchie is, its just an one inch square, stamped or decorated the way you want. I found this perfect Sketch at CPS 103 that I could incorporate an Inchie and used it to make a wedding card I was needing. To Play along just create a project using INCHIES and post to Chrissy's blog with a link to your creation, when posting to SCS or PCP please use the Keyword CBC55 so we can find it. Chrissy will do a drawing and the person whose name she draws will be a BELLI GUEST DESIGNER the Fourth week of March. How cool is that?

Sneek Peek

As I promised here a Digi sneek peek for you from Sweet N' Sassy. It's a Luna Moth and isn't she beautiful? This stamp is drawn by Chris Dickinson and it is very versatile. I have cut it out here and used it along with another Sweet N' Sassy stamp "Rejoice In The Lord" The scripture sets at SNS are my favorite stamps. I lead a card ministry at my church and they are perfect for us to use. The sketch I used for this one is one of Korin's that she posts on Papercraft Planet you can find it here, I just turned it sideways to accommodate my card. This card also qualifies for Secret Crafter challenge Spring Has Sprung, because it is definitely springy

details for my card
Digi Stamp: SNS Luna Moth
Sentiment: SNS Rejoice In The Lord
Papers: Basicgrey Urban Prairie
Flowers: Prima
Misc: Copics, Shimmerz paint, Distress Stickles, MS Punch,
Michael's Ribbon, SU Ticket Punch

Still on Cloud 9,

Exciting News!!!!!

WoooOOooo HooooOOOoooo!!!
Can anyone hear me. I am SO excited!!! I got an email yesterday from Mrs. Korin Southerland herself asking me to be a part of the Sweet N' Sassy DT family, of course I said YES!
I feel so honored to be a part of a team not only of very talented women but godly women who encourage one another. She has asked me to showcase her Digital stamps, the card above is my first DT share and one of her newest digi stamp releases "Sweet Birthday" you can find them here and they are only $3.00 a piece and you download them and can use them over and over how cool is that? Korin plans to expand her line of Digi stamps and has two more to be released later this week so check back for a sneek peek you will fall in love with them as the rest of her stamps!

From Cloud 9,

Feb 16th DT Reveal

this is the last sketch for the Just My Sketches DT but guess what? I have been asked to serve again as a card designer! YAY! Deanne has card and layout sketches for you to try twice a month on the 1st and 15th for Layouts and the 2nd and 16th for cards. She has two teams who post twice a month. The next term she is changing things up a bit with her Design Teams instead of both teams posting twice a month Team 1 (that is me) will post on the 2nd and Team two will post on the 16th.




Here is my take on this sketch. I took two photos so you could see the detail of the butterfly. The stamp sets are all from CTMH. The flourishes are from "Key To My Heart" the butterfly is from "Celebrate Life" and the sentiment is from "Happy Birthday". The frame is new from CTMH. The paper pack is from my stash,it came from the Target dollar spot. The ribbon is also from my stash.

Alter Something

Our challenge this week at Cupcake Craft Challenge is set by Jenny to ALTER SOMETHING.
To play along just Alter Something then go here and leave your link using Mr. Linky so we can see your project. At the end of the week Jenny will pick the top 5 and reward them with a blinkie. There is also a chance to be a Guest Designer up for grabs as well. So what are you waiting on?

For my project I altered an old window. My Scraproom is done in Shabby Chic Pink, Brown and cream decor and is a constant work in progress. When I came across this old window at an antique store and knew immediately what I wanted to do with it.

Friday Sketchers #39/Doodle Doo

Happy Sunday Stampers!

I hope every one had a wonderful Valentines Day and got spoiled by the one you love. I did! I got spoiled by my wonderful husband. I used my gift he gave me to stitch on this card, its a mini sewing machine I can use for card making and scrapbooking and then he also took me out for a steak dinner. I am thankful to God for sending him to me. This sketch is another great sketch from Friday Sketchers. Because I doodled on this card I can also enter it on A Spoon Full Of Sugar where their challenge this week is Doodle Doo.

Stampin' Hugs,

It's A CBCC Belli Day

I combined Courtney's inspiration challenge with the Belli challenge and came up with this

The belli challenge for this week is DOILIES and here is a photo of of Courtney's inspiration. For my card I used a paper doily that was light pink but then used gold pearls to come up with the color I have whatever you would even call this color. I also used aluminum foil and ran it through my cuttlebug to get the metallic look. I also added some gold pearls to it to match the heart. For the center heart I used a bronzy fine glitter and added ribbon and brads from my stash. I had a different plan in mind for the doilies until I saw this inspiration card and the plan changed

To play along with the Belli girls just create a project using DOILIES and post a comment on Chrissy D's blog with a link to your creation so we can see. If you are uploading to Splitcoast or Papercraft Planet use the key word CBC54 to link your creation. here are the links to the Belli girls who had time to play this week
