What's New?

This adorable little Rachelle Ann Miller stamp has been on my desk for over a week waiting for me to ink it up. And I also wanted to play with my new Octagon Nestailibities so I used them together!
The stamp is called Candy Time . I stamped on watercolor paper using Onyx Black Versafine ink, then embossed with JudiKins Detail Clear embossing powder.

The stamped image was colored using Tombow (water based) markers. I added mini rhinestones to the center of the small flower, and put three of the green ones on the caterpillar. The larger rhinestone is a Kaiser Craft soft pink rhinestone . To give the bee wings a little sparkle I used my Quickie Glue Pen to add some ultrafine glitter .

The sentiment is from the new JustRite Stampers release. It's in a stamp set called Tiny Words & Centers . There are so many cute ones in that set! And I love the new smaller size.

Both the sentiment and main image were cut using Octagon Nestabilities by Spellbinders.

The designer paper is from the new Just Chillin' Girl 6 x 6 paper pad by Making Memories. The carstock is Razzleberry Prismatics light and medium, and white.

The Dream Team and I have a lot planned for you this week! Beginning tomorrow morning we will be posting all week showcasing the new JustRite Stampers release. Be sure to check in...you won't want to miss it.

I hope you are all having a great weekend. Thanks so much for stopping by. I will be back early tomorrow morning with something new.

Until then...

I feel loved...

I just had to share my recent RAKS with you. I feel so loved! :-)

I got this one from Tosha in today's mail. She used one of my favorite stamps from Rachelle Ann Miller called Rainy Days . Just look at the perfect embellishing and coloring on this card! Isn't it awesome? And there was a package of Louisiana themed charms tucked inside. Thanks, my dear sweet friend! I love you!!! Today truly WAS a happy mail day! :-)


This card is from my friend Denise . She used the Flourishes set called Signs of Spring . I will never forget that the day I got this card out of the mailbox I was on a pretty low limb. I had been to a funeral for the father of a very dear friend. And what a lift it was when I opened this gorgeous card! It's almost as if she had ESP and knew I needed a smile that day.

This is a card I received from Denise earlier this week. I was a "just because" card...so sweet and thoughtful. She knows how much I love Sarah Kay stamps. This one is called Spring Blossoms . Thanks, my friend. You are so thoughtful. It's one of the many things I love about you!


This card is from the infamous Mothermark . She used an adorable little Penny Black stamp called Friendly Surprise . Cindy is known for her sponged clouds...aren't they awesome? Thanks, girlfriend!!!

Rainy Days and Mondays....

Or is it Tuesday? From my work day at the office today, I could swear it was really a Monday! LOL!

This adorable stamp is called Rainy Days . It was designed by Rachelle Ann Miller for Stampavie.

I stamped it on watercolor paper using Onyx Black Versafine ink, then embossed with JudiKins Detail Clear embossing powder. The stamped image was colored using Tombow (water based) markers and a damp paint brush.

I stamped just the top portion once again, cut it out, and popped it up with foam tape for added dimension.
I added a bit of Stardust Stickles to the water puddle and some of the little asterisks for sparkle.

The edge of the Yellow Prismatics panel was cut using my Fancy Scalloped Pierceabilities . The rhinestones are Hero Arts Assorted 2 mm gemstones and Assorted 3 mm gemstones .

The designer paper is some I've had in my stash for quite a while...no writing on the back. The cardstock is Orange Prismatics and Yellow Prismatics .

Thanks for indulging me once again. I do so appreciate you stopping by!

Lily - Springtime

I hope you all had a fabulous Christmas! Yesterday I enjoyed the day with all six of the grands, their parents, my sister and her husband and my neice and her fiance. Needless to say, it was pretty wild around here! And sooooo much fun!

I took a day off work today to recover! LOL! I enjoyed the afternoon with my best friend. We exchanged gifts, then went to lunch. Really, just enjoying each other's company. I also had a little stamping time, so I decided to try out one of the new stamps that arrived in the store a few days ago.

This stamp is from Stampavie and is designed by Rachelle Ann Miller. It's called Lily - Springtime .

I stamped on watercolor paper using Versafine Onyx Black ink, then embossed with JudiKins Detail Clear embossing powder. The stamped image was colored using Tombow (water based) markers and a damp paint brush. I used my Stardust Gelly Roll Pen to add a little sparkle to the butterfly and flowers.

The designer paper is Pop Fashion from Pink Paislee. The cardstock is Twilight Prismatics medium and Intense Pink Prismatics . I punched flowers from the designer paper and cardstock, then layered them to embellish.

The layout is Jen DelMuro's sketch. You can see it HERE .

Thanks once again for stopping by. I hope you all have a wonderful weekend!
