SFYTT Sponsor

—-
I am so excited to once again sponsor Jen D’s Sketch For You To Try! Jen is super talented and I always love her wonderful creations so be sure to check out out her fun SFYTT blog.

Here is the sketch for this week…

Thursday was a very special day so I would like to start off by saying HAPPY BIRTHDAY ELLIE!!! Jen’s daughter’s name is Ellie and she celebrated her 4th birthday on Thursday. Today she is having her birthday party so I got out my Ellie with Pressies stamp and made a birthday card in honor of this occasion!

The sentiment is from the Mini Greetings set and the DP and coordinating button and gems is from the new Bo Bunny Sun Kissed line. I just love all the bright fun colors!
There is an awesome prize up fro grabs and a YNS store discount for all Jen’s participants so be sure to hop on over to the SFYTT blog for all the details!
On another note…I’m looking to add some new DT members to the YNS team so be sure to check out all the details HERE. Please email me if you have any questions.

YNS Challenge #20


Happy Wednesday!

It’s time for YNS Challenge #20 – YIPPEE!!! Angela is our wonderful hostess and she has challenged us to use FLOWERS on our cards and creations. I love flowers and there are so many different flower stamps, embellishments and papers to choose from so I’m sure you’ll have as much fun playing along as I did!

I decided to use the Flower Garden stamp for my card. I used the solid half of this stamp set and I really had fun messing around with the different inks to get the multi colored look. Of course, I had to add a little sparkle and bling just for fun!
Be sure to check out the awesome paper and embellishment sale I’ve got going on at the YNS store.

Hop on over the the YNS challenge blog to check out all the challenge details on how to win some YNS bucks and also to see all the other fabulous cards created by the YNS starlets!

Happy Stamping!

Happy Anniversary

Yep, that’s right 3 years ago Chris and I got married! Happy Anniversary babe! He is a wonderful husband and loving father and I’m lucky to call him my hubby! He planned something really special for our anniversary…a hot air balloon ride! Oh, how exciting!
I made him a simple card using the Mini Greetings set to create my background and then the sentiment is from the Wedding Fhiona set which is retiring and on sale so be sure to scoop it up while it’s still available!
Plus if you haven’t noticed I’m excited to let you know that all YNS stamps (except retired sets) are now on cling, trimmed and all ready to be used with any acrylic block.
Enjoy your day!

YNS Challenge #19 – Patterned Ribbon

….
It’s time for another YNS Challenge! YIPPEE! Amy is our hostess with the mostest and she has challenged us to use patterned ribbon on our cards! FUN!
I have love to collect ribbon so I went through my stash and picked out a patterned ribbon and then picked out a stamp I thought would go nice with the ribbon. I chose to go with a vintage look and used the new Dale Designs stamp Best Friends which I totally adore! You may be wondering how the little boy got plaid shorts…well I very carefully drew them on with my Copic 0.1 Multiliner pen. I’ve also started using the Neenah Solar White cardstock when coloring with Copics and I really loving the way they blend on this paper. I had a lot fun creating this card and I must say I am very pleased with the end result.
I hope you decide to play along for your chance to win some YNS bucks! Check out all the details over at the YNS Challenge Blog.
Happy Stamping!

Happy Dad’s Day

Just a quickie post to say Happy Dad’s Day to all the wonderful fathers out there! Here is the card I made for Brandon to give to his daddy today!

Chris LOVES nature and everything to do with leaves and trees so I thought the Branch Tree was perfect for his card. He also has been going on and on about how much he loves the Sparkle Tree House Leaves dp so I used it for the background which I thought really went well with this image. I also completed the inside using the Happy Father’s Day sentiment from the Mixed Bag of Greetings set and the Corner Leaf Border to carry on the nature theme. If you are wondering how I stamped the tree…I stamped the entire top portion of the tree with Brilliance Thyme ink and then used my blender pen and went over the branches with Brilliance Coffee Bean ink. The trunk is stamped with the Coffee Bean as well.

On a side note…yes the dp and the ink have sparkle in them! My hubby is wonderful and accepts the fact that I love to add sparkle to my creations even when they are for him!!! lol

Thank for stopping by! I hope you have a wonderful day!

This week just…

lew by!!! Where did the week go? Have you ever had that happen to you? I can’t believe it’s Friday already! Although you will be happy to know that I’ve been very busy working on lots of fun new releases – YIPPEE!!!
If you haven’t noticed the Retired Stamp Set section over at the YNS store be sure to check it out. All the sets in that section are limited edition sets and I have a very few remaining of each set plus they are all on sale! Once they are gone you’ll no longer be able to purchase the images as a complete set so be sure to grab your favorites sets while they’re still available.
It’s my sweet little nieces 2nd birthday this weekend and she is such a little princess so I got her an adorable little pink princess dress and made her a cute little card using the princess cake from the Birthday Princess Set along with lots of sparkle and bling!

Happy Stamping!
