Easter Greetings from The Cat's Pajamas

Good morning!

I received my order from All That Scraps (ATS) this week and this fun set was included. When I first saw Sprinkle the cat, I was hooked on The Cat's Pajamas stamps. Since then they have introduced the penguins and I love them too!

I used this weeks sketch challenge over on SCS; SC269. This is also for TCP Tuesday challenge which was to make a spring card. I don't know about you, but I am ready for spring!

The image is stamped with Memento Tuxedo Black and colored with Prismas/Goo Gone. The little eggs were stamped on a scrap, colored, and cut out...let me tell you, they are miniature! I had a hard time holding onto them to cut them out! I added a bit of "Pink Smoothie" glitter to the large egg.

Ink: Memento Tuxedo Black

Embellies: PTI Dark Chocolate Satin Ribbon, Barbara Trombley's Art Glitter in "Pink Smoothie"
Extras: Prismas/Goo Gone, Spellbinders Nestabilities, EK Success 3D Dots

I am trying to improve the quality of my pictures and it's very hard for me; I just don't have the "eye" for it like some do. Some of my SCS friends have been helping me; if you have any tips, be sure to leave a comment as it would be much appreciated!

Have a great Saturday! Thanks for stopping by!

Happy Saturday! So glad I had the chance to get inky today! Hope you all are getting inky too!

Today I have The Cat's Pajamas Tuesday challenge for you; it was a sketch which is my very favorite! I also like working with Sprinkle and the gang...Sprinkle rocks!

I decided to go with a Valentine card since I recently bought some pretty new Valentine goodies. This DP is by KI Memories and it's exclusive to Archivers; I also bought the matching brads (I usually don't spring for the fancy ones, but I thought they were really cute!). I rarely get to Archivers, so when I do it is a real treat!

Sprinkle is stamped with Memento on PTI Vintage Cream; I added a bit of color with my Crayolas and some Barbara Trombley's Art Glitter in "Angel Dust" and "Pink Smoothie". The main panel on the sketch was a large one and I thought it was the perfect time to use one of my Jenni Bowlin Bingo cards. I finished off the card with a brad and some ribbon.

I had my doubts about how this card was going to turn out, but I like it. I was glad I was able to show the foil accents in the DP and the bit of glitter on Sprinkle with my photograph. What do you think?

Happy Birthday

Good morning! We had a bit of light, fluffy snow over night and the kids are home from school. It doesn't look bad in town, but it must be blowing in the country....

I was able to incorporate 2 challenges in today's card; I love it when that happens! The Cat's Pajamas Tuesday challenge was to use glitter (easy for me; love it!) and the sketch is from SCS Sketch Challenge.

I tried to make the upper left panel look like a present.... What do you think? Does it?

The image is colored with Crayolas and glitter paper/loose glitter is used liberally! I like the blue/chocolate color scheme...would love to have a chocolate frosted cupcake right now in fact!

Happy New Year!!!

Here's my entry for this week's TCP Tuesday challenge. The challenge was to make something "new". It could be a New Year's card, use new stamps, layout, etc. I decided I would go with a New Year's card, using paper and stamps that I havn't used before, so I guess they are "new" too!

This Heidi Grace DP was in a card kit I received in a swap; I really liked it, so when I saw a pack of the paper on sale at JoAnns I bought it...a long time ago! I hadn't opened the pack until today and I really like the papers; I think they are my new favorites! I was able to use 5 of the DPs on this card.

I stamped 2 extra balloons, paper pieced them and added them to the image. I also added some M.S. glitter to the hat, horn, and champagne bubbles. I also used some gorgeous black satin ribbon I found in my stash and some black Swarovski flatback crystals. I used the "Metro" QuicKutz alphabet for the numbers.
