Stella's Triple Play

I'm not sure what's happened this week but my mojo has been flowing...  I guess I shouldn't complain should I?  I need to keep it for those times when I'm not in a card making mood (yes... I sometimes don't feel like making a thing).  I was toodling around in blog land the last few days and as soon as I saw this week's Tuesday Trigger at the Moxie Fab World Blog (I've included a pic of the inspiration pic below) I knew I wanted to play.  I've stamped this cute "Peekaboo Stella" from Stamping Bella in Versafine Onyx Black and then watercolored each of them in Tombow Markers.  I then added Yellow Stickles to the crowns and Fruit Punch Stickles to Stella's gorgeous lips.  I think of all the Stamping Bella Lines that Stella is my fave (although those cute pixies will be coming home with me at some point in time).  My layout for this card is this week's sketch at Card Positioning Systems and I've used twine on my card to add a bit of extra dimension (it was looking a little bare on the left hand side of my card) which is also for this week's Wee Memories Challenge to use twine on your card (it could be Baker's Twine or Jute Twine).  I've been a long time fan of Jessie Rone and when I saw that she had started "Forgotten Stamp Friday" I knew I had to participate at some point as we all have so many stamps that never see the light of day.  I swear I could open up my own store with all the stamps, ribbon and Designer paper I have.... 

I love the sassy face Stella has....seems kinda like she's hiding something. 

Have a great day everyone!!!

Just "Bee"cause...

Hello!! I hope you've had a great day and that there is a bit of sunshine in your life.  I woke up this morning to rain... pouring rain... makes you not want to get out of bed rain... Yup... the icky rain!  And to top it all off, I was waiting for my new couch to arrive (thank goodness the rain let up long enough for the delivery).  To brighten up my day, I decided to watercolor up this cute "Lollipop Bumblebee" from By Lori Designs.  I also have the ladybug that I'll be coloring up soon too.  I tried to keep the color combo true to the colors of the bee so I used some Pebbles and October Afternoon DP's.  The layout is from this week's CPS sketch.

Thanks for dropping by!!! I'm off to enjoy my comfy new couch...

CPS196 A Bright Merry Christmas

I'm inspired....I'm out of my funk... and enjoying my cards.  Another thing I enjoy is a great sketch/layout and this one from Card Positioning Systems is no exception. It's fabulous!!!  I needed to make a few quick cards this week and this one came together in about 20 minutes (that's quick for me I tell ya).  I've used one of the sentiments from the new TSG set called "Season's Greetings" that I've sponged with Wheat Versamagic Ink.  I didn't have two flourishes so I decided to use a snowflake (MFT Snowflake Die) to balance the card out.  Another easy peasy card... 8 down and 4 to go...
