Holiday Coffee Lovers Blog Hop

Hey peeps.  It's finally here!  The Holiday Coffee Lovers Blog Hop!!  Woot woot.  I can't believe this is the sixth hop for this amazing group.  Way to go ladies.

Of course I had to join in.  Everyone in this group is beyond sweet and soooo talented!!  If you are not part of the group you are missing out.  I'll have several cards to share with you during the hop. The first day of the hop is today at 9:00 AM EST and it will end December 18th.  In order to win any of the amazing prizes, all you have to do is link up a card on the blog.  Easy peasy!!  So let me show you the card I came up with.

I just had to use this sentiment on my card.  And if I'm on a coffee run then my mugs have to run with me.  LOL  This is an older stamp set from TPC.  I've had it for years.  I drew legs on my mugs so they looked like they were running.  And I used some snowflakes for the background.  Very easy card to put together.  If you looking for some great tutorials check out my Youtube channel.  Don't forget to subscribe.  So let's see what you have up your sleeve.  Can't wait to hop and see all your amazing cards and creations.

Go forth and be crafty~

Drinks Anyone?

Hey peeps.  Is it thirsty Thursday yet?  I'm already in need of a drink and it's only Monday.  I had to have a tooth pulled this morning and boy am I feeling that pain now. But nothing really can compare to the pain I was having before it was pulled.  When you have a tooth ache, I swear you just can't think straight.

Anyway, enough about my tooth drama.  I'm excited to say that I'm trying out for the Some Odd Girl design team.  Yup, thought I would try my luck and see what happens.  I really enjoy coloring images from SOG and have been a fan for awhile now.  This image of course is from SOG and it's called Cheers Kaylee.  Yup, you see that fruity drink of hers?  Need one right now!  I colored her with Copic markers and die cut a circle around her.  I didn't like the stark white so I used some SU ink and sponged around her.  The paper is from an old SU pack called Summer Flamingo. I participated in the SOG challenge too by misting the tag with my Heidi Swaps stencil and color shine.  I also misted the background paper as well.

I'm also going to join in on the fun over at Sweet Sunday Sketch and 613 Avenue Create challenges. I'm off to take some more meds for the aching that is going on and probably search for some new card inspiration online.  Wish me luck everyone.

Hugs and love~

Get Sketchy with MFT

Morning peeps.  Hope your week is starting off on a good note.  I'm participating in the My Favorite Things guest DT challenge.  I have always loved MFT products.  And with even more stuff to love, I thought I would try out for the September guest spot for a chance to be a part of amazing team.  I would love to join in on the fun with the DT members by showcasing all the great die-manics and stamps that MFT carries.  They are so versatile and with my ever changing stamping style, plus the love for my craft, I hope I would be a great match. 

I used the Let's Grab Drinks stamp set and paper pieced the dress with Basic Grey June Bug paper.  I am in LOVE with this print.  Reminds me of all the maxi dresses the ladies are wearing this year.  And yes, I think this image is me with my Cosmo martini.  LOL  I had a blast working on this card.  Loving the sentiments in this set too.  With fifteen sentiments to choose from I'm going to have an endless supply of "Let's Grab Drinks" cards and gifts.  My girlfriends know that I LOVE a great dirty martini. ;-)

And here's a close-up of the dress.  I wish I had this image's figure.  LOL

Wish me luck everyone as I enter the challenge.  There are some really talented ladies this month and I'm glad to be amongst the participates.  Gotta run but make sure to come and visit me again soon.

Hugs and love~

B+W+1= Your Next Stamp Challenge.

Hey, hey, hey...it's challenge day!  Just had to put the Fat Albert voice out there today. (giggles)  Today YNS is rocking another challenge. It's the black and white plus one challenge.  Make a card using black and white plus one color of your choice.  I'm in such a super summer mood so I added the zest of some seriously bright green to my card. Plus it make a really good looking refreshing cocktail too.  LOL  Since I only had to color in the drink and the orange I don't have a huge Copic list for you.  I just used YG23 and YG25 for the drink and YR04 and YR09 for the orange.  Easy peasy!!

Now as always, there's something in it for you to win!! Yay, that's what it's all about...free stamps!  Okay, so if you participate in the challenge you can win the Celebrate stamp set.  Woo, hoo...now that's a reason to celebrate for sure!!  As our challenge runs for 2 whole weeks you have plenty of time to hop on over to the YNS Store and pick up some of these fun images yourself! If you do use a YNS stamp on your challenge card/creation, you’ll be entered into the prize draw TWICE and be entered into the Top Pick draw – that’s 3 chances to win!
