CC242 Hugs & Kisses


This was a quick one that I did last night!!! It totally forgot that I had to make an Anniversary card for my cousins so I whipped this one up really quick. I also snuck in the SCS CC242!
My card base is Basic Black with a layer of Cameo Coral on top. Then I layered Basic Grey Urban Prairie DP on Sahara Sand. My image is Sealed with a Kiss by Paper Pretties, stamped in Tuxedo Black by Memento Ink and colored with Copics. I simply layered the image on basic black and pierced the corners. The final touches were the taffeta ribbon, black brads and stickels to her pearls, belt and hear on the envelope.
For a very quick job I think it came out cute. This image is so large that there really wasn't much else I could with the layout. My cousins loves my cards and loves getting them so it's always a pleasure putting in the effort and extra accessories for her-LOL!!

Tuesday Morning Sketch...Sisters & Chocloate



Yikes...I am so happy about this card I could just scream!! OK this is for the Tuesday Morning Sketch sponsored by There She Goes this week!!

This is my all time favorite, most loved card I have ever created!!! First I just love the sketch and am so proud of myself for actually being able to complete it..LOL!!! Second I just adore this set, How Sweet It Is by MFT, thanks Jodi for letting me borrow. Third, I am so happy with how the coloring came out. I'm still new with the Copics and it took me a while but my patience paid off!

My younger sister means the world to me and she is away at college in Washington DC and I just miss her terribly. I love this sentiment and it is so true, I just spent a few hours venting to her on the phone this past week and somehow when I'm done talking to her I just feel better!

I started with a card base of Chocolate Chip and Regal Rose. I took White card stock by PaperTrey and created my own DP by stamping Chocolate Chips with Chocolate Chip Ink (haha). My ribbon is Regal Rose Ribbon and the panels have Basic Grey Bittersweet DP.

I stamped image in Memento Ink Tuxedo Black Ink and colored with my Copics. I added some stickels to the center of the flowers on the chair. I stamped the sentiment in Chocolate Chip Ink again and cute that shape with scissors and added the two pink jewels.

I can't WAIT to send this to my sister!

VSOCT09A Thinking of You



Happy Sunday!! What a beautiful sunny morning here on Long Island. We had torrential down pours here last night and my basement slightly flooded from the ground on the side of my house being over saturated and flooded....luckily this slight leak was no where near my stamping area so no stamp were harmed-LOL!! Unfortunatley then the power went out for the next 6 hours so I could continue to stamp, oh well.

I did manage to finish this card before mother nature struck. This was the first Verve Sketch for the October Release, VSOCT09A. It's definitely different for me. My colors are Crushed Curry, White, Soft Suede and Purely Pom. I embossed both my White layer and the Purely Pom circle with my CB Swiss Dots. My DP is Basic Grey Lemonade. Sentiment is from Warm Words.

I also FINALLY got the OttoLite so now I don't have to go crazy trying to get the best light for my pics, I can simply turn to my left open the light and click away!!!

Hi all! I have decided that it is time to free up room in my stamping area. I have VERY limited space and have officially over exceeded it.

All stamps set are slightly used, some have been inked up only once if ever at all. All stamps have been meticulously mounted and labeled and stored in their cases. Cases have also been labeled for convenience. The designer paper items have at most 2 sheets missing just from being cut but that’s it.

True Friendship


Happy Tuesday night!!! I just spent a half hour trying to find a new layout for my blog, since the site that I took my last one from started flashing ads across my blog...how annoying!! Anyway I'm not thrilled with the new layout but for now it will do, I'm too tired to keep looking-LOL!!

I am so glad that I decided to stop at my stamp desk after throwing in the last load of laundry cause I just adore this card. I absolutely fell in love with this DP when I stumbled upon it at an impromptu stop at AC Moore on my way home from work on Friday, I really, really wish I could have gotten more of those cute birds in but the way they are lined up in the pattern I couldn't but I did get those two right over the bow.


This is an old MOJO sketch from March. It's a rather busy card compared to my usual style but I felt like getting a little crazy! I even took some inspiration from all you wonderful stampers and sponged just the cent of the circle by keeping the Nesstie frame after I embossed it.


Ok so I started with a card base of Basic Gray. I then layered it will Cool Caribbean, man i haven't used that one n a while, and embossed with my my Birds and Swirls CB folder. I layer my DP which is Basic Grey Pattern Paper/Urban Prairie. My ribbon is White Taffeta and Brads are Pewter. I used my scallop and circular Nessties and again kept the paper in the frame and sponged it with Cool Caribbean. I then stamped my sentiment, which is from Side By Side by There She Goes in Basic Grey and put two pink jewels under the words" Side". I used my White Gel pen and added dots in the scallops. The patterned paper layers and sentiment layer are all up on dimensionlas.


This cards just makes me happy!!

MTSC42 Birthday Wishes

Well it's Monday, the start of a new week and rather than focus on the annoying things going on in my life I will look at the positives...it's finally Sunny here in NY, Halloween is almost here and Fall is in full swing!!!

I actually made this card fairly quickly last night, but I'm still battleing with this cold so I was just too tired to sit at the computer and get it all uploaded. I needed a quick card for a close friends birthday which is this week and I never got around to Mercy's sketch from 2 weeks ago so I figured no time better than the present.

Mercy's sketch, MTSC42, was so cool, and since I finally have circle Nessties I no longer have to pass up sketches with any size circles-LOL!! My striped DP is Basic Grey Bittersweet/Praline and the colors of this card are all focused around that. I used Regal Rose as the card base and layered it with Very Vanilla and Creamy Caramel all by SU. I Used my scallop nesstie and circle nesstie for the sides and I also used my Swiss Dots CB Embossing folder. My center panel again is the Regal Rose and Very Vanilla with a corner knot in Sahara Sand Ribbon.

I stamped my flowers from Happy Harmony by SU in Regal Rose and the stems in Always Artichoke. I added some stickles to the buds from sparkle- I think birthday cards always need extra bling. My sentiment is from Warmest Regards, again by SU, and stamped in Creamy Caramel Ink. My image layer is up on dimensionals.

This was a fun and fast one, thanks again for another great sketch Mercy!!
