HOW TO'S:

I first chose my DSP, as I always do, since I like to MATCH!  Surprise!  I colored my Heidi puppy in with my Copics, going from light to dark.  I went back in a few times, in a flicking motion, to add the dark streaks that look like fur strands?!  It takes a bit of back and forth to blend and get the right texture.  Then I cut out my image and the background papers/cardstock with my Circle Spellbinders.  When that was finished I cut my cardstock base to a square 5 1/4, layered a piece of plain DSP (that matched of course), cut the patterned DSP down to size, and added my sentiment at the bottom right.  To finish it off, I added some satin ribbon and clear pearly things I had in my embellies drawer!!  Hope you like!

Ok, a LITTLE about my creation, before you go. I used a direct to paper technique, to create my background. To make this happen, I ran distress ink right across the Kraft cardstock! My teammate Ellen did this a BIT ago? And I HAD to try it!! Thanks for the inspiration Ellen! After that was done I stamped my image and sentiment with Tuxedo Memento Ink. I finished the card off with some distressed charcoal Twinery Twine and Perfect Pearls mist! The Twine was distressed with Spun Sugar distress ink; the mist was made with Biscotti Perfect Pearls and water, in a mini mister! I added some extra photos, hoping to show you the effect? However, I don't know that they do the sparkly mist any justice!! Haha! Hope you enjoyed your stop here and now you must follow the ROUTE below to your next destination!! Have FUN!!

MARKET STREET GUEST...............

Hey all!! How are ya? I thought I would stop by and share another Market Street Stamps creation! As you know, I was SUPER excited to be chosen as their GUEST DT for the month of MARCH!! Can you believe it is Friday the 23rd already? Whew, where did THAT time go?! I tell ya! It was such an honor to create with the Market Street girls this month! They are SO talented!! In my first project I shared a Krafty Kard and I colored that Krafty image, along with some distressing!! Well, this one is NOT a whole lot different, as I am STILL stuck on those things!! Copics, Kraft cardstock and Market Street Stamps! Ahhh......what could be better, huh? Seriously, I ask you?! The only thing that changed THIS time around? I decided to use some colored cardstock too! Imagine that! I used the brand NEW set HOME SWEET HOME and a GREAT "go to" background, A BIT OF BURLAP! I used the Burlap stamp for BOTH Kraft backgrounds! I stamped it with Old Paper Distress Ink. Hey, you know....that Home Sweet Home set won't be SO brand new for long!! Market Street has some MORE new ones coming your way SOON!! I am SO excited!! Be on the look out!! I am told there are some CUTE ones!!

Ok, so....instead of coloring on the Kraft? I tried coloring on the patterned paper!! I wasn't too sure what to expect, BUT, I was pleasantly surprised!! I believe this will be a NEW addiction, for sure!! I think it really adds some dimension to this cute little abode!! I even decorated the inside of my card! I used a die cut that matched the patterned paper I chose! Igt is actually called a journaling card? Hmm.....who knew?! Haha! I also used Shape stickers that matched my DSP too! All of them are from The Thrift Shop line, from October Afternoon! That October Afternoon stuff is growing on me, I believe! I finished my project with some distressing and some Twinery Twine! I used the Old Paper Distress Ink for the distressing and the Lemondrop Twine as my twine choice! You can find the FINE details below!! A HUGE thank you and LOTS of hugs to Angelica, of Market Street Stamps, and all of her AWESOME DT for including me in thsi month's FUN!! It was AMAZING to be a part of your team! Alrighty then, that is all for me today! Thanks SO much to all of you for visiting with me and I hope to see you SOON! Until next time.......................ENJOY LIFE!

SISTERHOOD MONDAY!

Hey all! What is NEW? I am sitting here with the sliding glass door open and enjoying the AWESOME breeze that is drifting in!! I cannot believe it is SO nice out! Did we SKIP winter this year? I mean..........really?? WOW!
Anyway, for those of you who may not visit the Stampin' Sisterhood? I thought I would share my creation here! I had shared this over at the Sisterhood last week or so. I just LOVE how it turned out!! RUBBERNECKER sure offers a WIDE variety of stamp sets! I ended up giving this to my sister for her birthday! I warn you though, before you peek? I am STILL a little stuck on the PRE MADE Kraft cards/envies! Haha! SO, if you have had enough of them? BEWARE!! Here is my card, hope you like it!

Well? Watcha' think? Is the KRAFTY thing growing on you yet?? OR....the distressing thing, for that matter!!! I am about out of those pre-made cards, imagine that!! I will NEED to get me some more, for sure! Alrighty, my time is up for today. I must grab some lunch, before I go and pick my nephew up at pre-school. Once that is done? The CRAZYINESS starts! Kyah has Lacrosse practice, the nephews will be picked up, dinner needs decided on/made,wash needs finished, and I have a midget sports board meeting! Ahh..............let the FUN begin!! Thank you all for stopping by today! Hope you all have a WONDERFUL day! Enjoy it...................and ENJOY LIFE!
