Cute Card Thursday #55 Marshmallows and Chocolate!

Pink and brown is my all time favorite color combo!!! My dd’s room is pink and brown, she has tons of pink and brown clothes, her carseat is pink and brown, and on and on. So when I saw the challenge this week at Cute Card Thursday I KNEW I had to make a card for it. This isn’t exactly the card I had in mind, I wanted to do something more frilly, cutsey and girlie but I loved these Quickutz die cut bon bons and wanted to use them.

The sentiment is a rub-on that I have had in my stash FOREVER. This is different from most of the cards I do since it is not stamped at all.

SCORE!!

 

WOOHOO!!! Finally I found some of those adorable Studio G cupcake stamps!!!! The closest Michaels to me is about an hour away and anytime I have ever wanted any of these they didn’t have them. Well my ds had a dentist appointment last week and we had to pass M’s to get there so on a whim we stopped. I asked the store clerk where I could find the stamps and she took me back to where they had them but there wasn’t any of the cupcake ones. I did however find some cute ones that I didn’t already have. On the way to the checkout I stopped to look at something on a shelf and my ds is looking in some notebooks and things behind me and said “ mom, are these the cupcakes you wanted?” I was soooo happy. I am sure there was more than 6 new releases but these 6 were what they had and I was happy to gobble them up!!

My first ever Tilda!! & OCC challenge

This is the first time I have had a chance to use a Tilda image and I am so excited. I do not do her justice at all. When looking at all the lovely blogs out there and all the talented people coloring in Miss Tilda, mine looks pretty..., well blah is the only word I can think of. Then again it's not that easy to make her look great when using bic markits and sharpies. I did receive 3 elovely copic markers a couple weeks ago but not in colors I wanted to use on Tilda. (note to self I need to buy more of those!!) While coloring her I also discovered there is not a sharpie or bic marker in flesh tone! At least not one in the collection of them I own so I had to color her skinwith good old crayolas! The paper is WRMK that I have had for awhile, the flowers are bazzill and prima and I was able to get a martha stewart border punch!! I added some sparkle paint to the large flower and think I liked it better before.

I liked the colors for the OCC color challenge this week but don't have the su colors so I think these are pretty close and hope they work. Love this color combo but don't think to use it often.

Well it's off to the grocery store. I don't know about anyone else but I absolutely loathe going to the grocery store. I spend countless hours and dollars there only to get home and sometime in the week realize what I had planned to make I still need something from the store to make or to hear someone in my family say " I don't want that". But if I don't go soon they will have to eat peanut butter with a spoon, because that's all that will be left, lol.

Have fun crafting without me.

Mojo Monday 80

Here is my card for the Mojo Monday challenge this week. I have left off the sentiment for now because I was just not sure what I wanted to say on it yet. This was a great sketch to work with but I wish I would have had skinnier black ribbon left so I could have wrapped and tied it, I don't really like my bow on this card. The green cardstock and dsp is su, the black is bazzill and the white is gp. I had the rhinestones in my stash for awhile and the stamp is one of the su sale-a-bration sets, stamped with pink pixie su ink.

A couple of cards

I really need to go back to scanning my cards. Either that or get a light box, these pictures are really not turning out too well. This first card is just a little thinking of you type card with some really pretty fall colors. I am happy with it, I think, lol.

This next card I can not take credit for. It is a TOTAL lift of this card. I just thought it was soooo cute. I had to make it! I really like the good egg stamp set and can see myself using it alot.
