Asian Inspired

I made this card for this past weekends VSN over at Splitcoast Stampers. The challenge was to incorporate versa mark either as a watermark or using with some clear embossing powder. I went with the straight watermark. I used my new set from Close to My Heart and also this Anya stamp that I had received as a Wsih RAK image. Thanks so much for her! She is awesome!

Anyways, I added some eyelet looking brads and used my border puch for a bit of texture. What do you think???

Thanks so much for coming by and I will see you soon!

More of the Book....

I am still working on my brothers birthday book cards, but I think I onlyhave about 4 left to do!! Yea!! I will have them done in time for the first birthday, which is my DD Bailey`s. I am heading to Edmonton with my brother to go with her to the bar... She is turning 18 and it is already legal for her to drink there at 18. I am feeling so old! :)

Anyways, this card I made for my DD Taylor. Sheis so grouch these days all the time. Gotta love 13!! Ugh! I of course can`t bring myself to spend $ on cards anymore as I make them all and she is embarassed to give my cards to some of her friends. I don`t get it! Oh well... I used a Miss Anya image I received through Wish RAK and colored her with my copics. I didn`t go too overboard since she doesn`t really apperciate it anyways... Sigh!! Oh well, I hope this phase doesn`t last too long!

As always thanks for coming bay and I love hearing what you think!

How can you not LOVE a secret sister????

I was in a 6 month Secret Sister swap on Split Coast Stampers since January and I loved everything I got! My secret sis was Cabio and she spoiled me rotten... :) I loved it! I sat down this weekend and used some of the stuff she sent in her reveal package to create a thank you card I am sending her... She sent these build a flower cut outs and I also got this cute cute Hula Anya! I got this creative idea in my head as soon as I saw them, but I don't think that it turned out quite how I envisioned, but I think it is pretty cute. I am going to try some more and see if I can get a better result later on.

Anyways, a quick Thank You post to Cabio and I want you to know I do use your gifts!!! I love it when I can tell that a sis has taken the time to get to know me and what I like. It feels less like just a chore.

Thanks for popping by and let me know what you think!

Desining D.I.V.A.S Challenge June 3

I posted my first challenge with my D.I.V.A.S. group over at split coast stampers and I love how my card turned. I made it to give my big sis for her birthday. The challenge was to use the colors purple and yellow and one other neutral. You had to use a flower of some kind and at least one other embellishment. I used mermaid Anya for the image and some Primas I got a while back. I also used the new SU! ribbon and some purple polka dot ribbon. I used stickles on her hair and some small purple jewel brads for the flower centers. I used my CB to emboss the background and sponged the piece under Anya with blue, green and yellow. So I was really happy how it turned out.

What do you think??

Thanks for stopping by and see you soon!

Last of my Secret Sis challenges...

I saw this little pizza box that Cheryl did and I loved it! I knew it would be the perfect project to CASE for my Sassy Stampers sis!!! I have yet to figure out those great ribbon bows she has so I just added an extra color...

This second is my tropical card. I suck at freehand so the little palm tree looks a bit wierd, but I think overall it turned out pretty good.

As always thanks so much for stopping by and let me know what you think!! I am hoping to get the whole thing assembled, photographed and mailed tomorrow so I should be posting the whole deal tomorrow evening!! See you all later and have a great day!!
