Lizzie Anne Designs Sketch Challenge 62


I got my first stamps from Lizzie Anne Designs last week and so I tried my hand at their challenge for this week. The stamp set used is Tea Time. I just love tea! The tea pots in this set are all have interchangeable spouts and handles.

This card uses the sketch from Mojo Monday 70. I used my new Jugglabella from Stamping Bella. The Papertake challenge for this week was to use three different shapes on your card.

My Times 20/Pink Cat Studio


I got to use my new Q T Owl stamps to make this card for the Pink Cat Studio challenge on Paper Craft Planet. I used the Saturday sketch from Lauren's Blog. The PCS challenge was to use Pink, Critters, and Scallops. Get it? PCS.

Ismake003/High Hopes Challenge 14/CC202


Well I have found that I can get more challenges done if I combine some of them. I used the sketch from Ismake 003 and the colors from Splitcoast's Color Challenge 202 to make my masculine theme card for High Hopes Challenge 14. I used scraps of old papers from CTMH to make the card and then used the stamp Bear-ly Warming Up.

I used my birthday/Christmas money to buy some stamps from Taylored Expressions and this is from the set "Sweet Celebrations." Aren't these cupcakes just so yummy!

SC210 and CC200

Both of these cards use the sketch from Splitcoast Stampers. The image is Flutterby Huggabug from Stamping Bella. I used my Cricut to cut the hearts.


This card uses the new stamp set from CTMH called Reach for the Stars. Having two boys, this was a perfect choice for me. The paper is also new paper from CTMH.

Top Chef Challenge


Taylored Expression is hosting a Top Chef Challenge using the stamps from their January release. The card above uses the new set Love Is Sweet. Don't you just love these little cupcakes!? I am in love with their other new sets of calendar cupcakes called A Year of Sweets 1, 2, and 3. They are on my wish list.
