Blowing Bubbles

Basic Grey Kissing booth Paper, MFT PI Blowing Bubbles, SU cranberry paper, Copic Markers and a very hard sketch LOL. I can't figure out my camera still. I took a photo of the inside too but it is gone somewhere in the land of pixals I guess.

Weekly sketch challenges

My new camera seems to absorb light more brightly than my old camera, The red in this photo is not nearly this bright in real life. LOL. Papers from My Minds Eye Love me collection. All dies and stamps from MFT.

I have a clean stamp desk so maybe I will stamp more this year.

It's a new year a a new post!

Trying out my new images and a new sketch challenge and used a new camera to take pictures. I am still trying to figure out where my pictures go when I upload them, the file path is never the same place I thought it was.My coloring is outside the lines, and it is not my best work, but, it's been over a month since I had time to stamp and I am rusty! Hopefully seeing this will motivate me to get better.

Inky Antics HoneyPop

 Lately I have been trying out new things...like new stamp company's and products. I love the Honeycomb paper from Inky Antics! The little stamp sets that go with it are so cute! This one is called Cupcake Birdy. I paired it with some cute MME paper Stella Rose collection, Hazel, and just a grey solid paper from PTI. I also used MFT dies. Colored with Copic Markers.

The cupcake inside should have been a little lower but now I know how to place it in the future. Just so fun! They had some christmas trees you can use with the honeycomb paper too. I am thinking I need to get that too.

Austin Shoebox Swap 2011

I went to the annual Austin Shoebox swap last weekend and this is the card I made. If you have never been to a swap, I would like to recommend them. We had around 30 people attend this year at The Lone Star Retreat Center in Georgetown Texas. Basically you each bring supplies for everyone to make your card and you get to go home with 30 original cards that you stamp while you are there. I have met some wonderful friends through the years at these swaps. Great fun!

Stamps: Inky Antics Birthday Elephant HoneyPop set

Inks: Momento Black, Copic markers

Accessories: MFT banner die, Amuse bling, Spellbinders label die, Inky Antic Honeycomb paper

Paper: PTI white, PTI Dotty Biscotti , PTI kraft

Channeling Penny Black

Felt like getting inky today and trying a different style. It needs work but was fun making these. More stampy than scrappy for a change.

Salute to You

This is my second card using the MFT weekly sketch. I tried to stay truer to the actual sketch this time. I forced myself to use this Basic Grey paper I bought months ago, it's called Lauderdale. It is extremely bright paper and way out of my comfort zone. I basically went through the pack and found the least crazy patterns I was willing to try. Now I like It! I hope you do too.

First Class

I just received an awesome package from my friend Jody for my birthday. I got new goodies from MFT! Started stamping right away I was just so excited! I think this one is for my grandmother for her birthday next month.
Stamps: MFT First Class Friend
Paper: MME Lost & Found Blush, PTI white and cocoa.

This is probably the cutest PI ever LOL. Not really , but she is darn cute! I freckled her nose with a SU cocoa marker. MFT rosette die was giving me trouble staying stuck down but I think I finally got it secured with a sticky large glue dot. Also used the MFT well worn words dies. October Afternoon Fly a Kite papers. Colored with copic markers.
