Little C's Weekly Challenge...Color Challenge

Happy Tuesday! It's color time again. Yep, this week's "LCWC" is a color combo. Check out the beautiful set of colors we DT's were challenged with.

For this challenge and the purpose of this card, I chose to use an "Anya" image. I think, they are just so adorable. I applied purple stickles to her crown and frosted stickles to her wand. The DS paper, Maroon CS, and sentiment are all of SU! and the vanilla CS is unknown (sorry). Designer brads and prima flowers were purchased from my favorite online store =)...Little C's. I also used the oval nesties and cricut's "Accent Essentials" cartridge.

For more inspiration, check out the rest of the DT's fabulous work then...come and play! Have fun and can't wait to see what you come up with. Thanks a bunch for stopping by. I hope you were blessed, as much as I have been blessed by you. Aloha and God Bless!

Little C's Weekly Challenge~ Sketch Challenge

Happy, happy, happy to share with you all, our very first Little C's Challenge, for this new year. But before I do, please join in and welcome the new designers for Little C's : Maria, MacKenzie, Heidi , Jen C, Jackie, & Margie (Guest Diva)

Our first challenge starts off with a sketch challenge, created by Maria . Each week, we'll be alternating between a sketch and a color combo challenge. We hope to inspire you to come along and play with us. Little C's will then select one lucky person at the end of the week, to receive a very special something, as a prize.

For this challenge, the image I chose to use was Whiff of Joy's "Angel Hugging Heart", which can be purchased from yours truly...Little C's. Their angels are so adorable, it was kinda hard to select. But I did, and this is what I came up with. Here I used TAC's DS paper, CB's Embossing folder "Dots", SU Markers, and ALL Natural Accents from of course Little C's. Here's a closer shot of the "All Natural Accents" leaves and hibiscus. I love working with these. They are very versatile.

For more details on the challenge, please be sure to stop by to visit Little C's blog and while there, check out the great work by the rest of our designers. Also, Jen has a great Valentine Special going on right now. Catch the deal before it ends.

Well as always...I appreciate you stopping by and blessing me with your visit. Thank you so much!

Tis' The Season...Take Two

Happy Monday all! Hope your week is off to a wonderful start. Today I share with you, round two of Christmas Stampin' All Year Long's sketch challenge. Gotta love this rounds sketch. When I first saw it I knew instantly what it was, I was going to create.

Although it's kinda hard to tell, the blue stock has a very beautiful frosted shimmer to it. I've had this piece for a while now and wasn't quite sure if I wanted to use it. In other words...I wasn't sure if I was ready to actually let it go (lol). Using one of my snowflakes CB Embossing folder, I created the background on a piece of white card stock, to off set the design I had in mind...
snowflakes. To create the silver snowflakes, the "Joy" sentiment, & the silver spots on the scalloped strip, I used my SU stamp set... "The Snowflake Spot", VersaMark (white), and silver embossing powder.

Within the stamped and embossed snowflakes, I then added some light blue gem stones. I actually like how this card turned out and the simplicity of it, that I may create multiples, using different colored shimmers. What do you think!?!

For more inspiration, pop on over to Christmas Stampin' All Year Long and check out all the awesome creations done, by the rest of our blog members. Hope you will join in on the fun. Till then...happy stampin'. Aloha and God bless!!

SUINKWWC22- Love is in the Air...Sweetheart!

Happy Wednesday all...today is Whachadoin' Wednesday challenge for Storage Units, Ink & More using, one of their newest sets just released... "Will You Be My Valentine". The challenge is to create a "Love" (not necessarily "Valentine") card of any size, shape, or fold. Cannot however, be your standard 5 1/2 x 4 1/4. This is my take...

I decided to create this 6x6 "Sweetheart...Thinking of You" card with my DH in mind. Whether he actually receives it...well...I dunno (lol)!?! It just may end up with all of my other collection of "Special" cards made, with him in mind. If you know what I mean!?!

Using textured stock, colored stock, and DS paper, I stamped my image and sentiments with Black Versa Craft ink then embossed with Clear Embossing powder. Colored in with SU's markers and inked all edges with SU's ink pads. I then used the "Swirl" CB folder, added a ribbon, some dew drops, prima flowers, and brass eyelets. The sentiment..."Thinking of You" is not part of this set. This is the inside view of the pull out card. Sorry it's kind of hard to tell, the sentiment reads..."Love endures all things".Card Details:
Stamps: Will You Be My Valentine (SUInk), Sentiment (SU)
Paper: Stock paper (SU), DS Paper (TAC)
Ink: SU Markers, SU Ink pads, Black Versa Craft
Accessories: SU Hodgepodge set, Embossing Powder, CB Embossing Folder, Prima Flowers, Ribbon, Dew Drops

I appreciate you and your visit. Have a very wonderful day in the Lord.

Thinking of You...

Aloha Everyone! Happy Tuesday! Here's a card I thought I'd share with you. It happens to be one of my favorites, which I had created a little while ago for the Little C's Gallery . Some of you may be familiar with it and may have even shared your kind comments on it. However...now that Heartful Stamping is in existence, gives me a good enough reason to showcase it for the rest of you.

I love my Hanna Stamps . Yep... EVERYONE of them. If only there were more hours in the day, I would put those Hanna's to some serious work...burn rubber and... create, create, create (like I'm sure all of you, probably would, right!?! Don't be shy...). On this card...is "Cafe Hanna", sportin' an all glittered dress.

Along with her dress, she also sports an all glittered head band with an orange gem stone attached to it.

Glitter was also used to decorate the brad, holding the prima flowers. As well as, on the matting for the sentiment.

Card Details:
Stamps: "Cafe Hanna" (Little C's)
Paper: SU Cardstock
Accessories: CB Embossing Folder, Nestibilities, Prima Flowers, Ribbon, Martha Stuart (ultra fine) Glitter, Brad, Gem Stone, Pop Dots.
Sentiment: SU
Ink: SU Markers

I look forward to sharing the rest of my creations, previously made, with you. For a quick peek, hop on over to "My Card Gallery" slide show and enjoy. Thank you and have a beautiful day!

Picnic anyone???

Okay here is my last Sarah Kay (I think...). If you haven't guessed by now, I am a great fan of the "SK" images. Can you tell??? OMGosh...is that a huge, gigantic yellow spot I see, at the upper left corner? Oh please tell me "No". Okay...let's just pretend it's not there (lol). Anyhow...this card was (as usual) fun to do. The image Picnic of Daisies, can be purchased at Little C's along with the Prima Flowers. In the center of the flower, two pearls were added to spiral wires with the sentiment hanging off of one. This layout was actually taken from a previous card I had created for... Little C's Home .
Supplies: Sarah Kay "Picnic of Daisies", & Prima Flowers (purchased from Little C's Stamps n' Things), Sentiment, Window Punch, Corner Punch, Oval Punch, & DS Paper (SU).

By the way...before I go, I MUST share with you all about my "Hot" date I had last night. OMGosh, it was amazing, it was unbelievable. Well... first of all, it started with a phone call from Jen . Inviting me to Cirque du Soleil - Saltimbanco. Without hesitation, I accepted but of course, checked with my DH first. I was so excited when he said..."Sure, go and enjoy but...be safe". You see, the excitement wasn't only because he was okay with me going. It was more so, because he was willing (without hesitation) to sit in, on my behalf, at our daughter's Girls Scout meeting, so that I can go on my date. Wow...what a Man!

Although it wasn't my DH, I could not have asked for any better date(s) than Jen and our other stamping sister Barb. It was awesome! The cast, the costumes, & the movements. If any of you have ever attended one of their productions, you will know what I'm talking about. We left there in awe. I remember, when I use to be able to tumble around just like them (back in the days...long, long, long ago...like 100lbs. ago...hee,hee). After returning home, I was so inspired and motivated that I considered showing my DH and daughters, some new moves I had learned from watching the cast. But...I quickly changed my mind, when I thought of the serious injury I could cause to myself, if not, them (lol). Oh well...maybe next time.

Thank you CY3 (Jen 's DH) for the tickets, we really enjoyed it! Most importantly, thanks all, for stopping to visit. Have a very blessed day!

Painting We Shall Go...

"Marguax is Painting"...yep, another Sarah Kay image for you. This time I added a few stitches, used 3D lacquer/glaze on my image (sorry, it's kinda hard to tell), SU's slit punch to create scallop, a designer brad, and prima flowers. I love this turquoise color, you think!?! Well...I hope you're enjoying this ride with my Sarah Kay's. Because ummmmmm...I actually have a few more to share with you (lol). But...it may have to wait until later. Till then, thanks for stopping by and have a blessed day in Jesus!
Supplies: Sarah Kay "Marguax is Painting", Cuttlebug Embossing: Swiss Dots, Prima Flowers, 3D lacquer/glaze, & Pop Dots (purchased from Little C's Stamps n' Things), Sentiment, Circle Punch, & Slit Punch (SU), DS Paper (TAC).
