Our amazing sponsors this week are The Paper Shelter, LEJ Designs, Design on Cloud 9 and the Paper Parade (who provided all the darling papers for the DT's projects!)

My darling card features this adorable stamp by LEJ Designs and papers by Jillybean Soup from the Paper Parade!

I had so much fun with the bright pretty papers and cardstock elements from Jillybean Soup!  Isn't this stamp adorable? She looks like she's enjoying a lovely sunny day at the Florida Gulf Coast!

Here's a close up!

I colored her with copics and embellished with cardstock stickers from Jillybean Soup, including this brightly colored scalloped border and the striped border below!  I loved the tags, on which I've hand written a greeting to my bestie,,,,,,,,and the darling cardstock butterfly!  A bright red ribbon bow brings out the reds in the papers,,,,,LOVE this color combo!

Party Time Tuesdays!!!

So, I am back :)  After being ill with a spider bite for weeks (I felt better after a week or so, but dragged for another week) and then having a nasty computer virus that infected all our computers (Via email, we are supposing), I am finally back with my Party Time Tuesdays card!!!!

This week we have an amazingly fun challenge for you!!! We want to see your die cuts and/or punches!!!!

Our phenomenal sponsors this week are The Digi Garden and the Paper Shelter for digi stamps!!!! Such cute digi stamps! And Viva Decor and Martha Pineda provided supplies! Here's the stamp I was given to work with! And thanks to all our generous sponsors for the products and digi stamps!

I colored the stamp with prismacolors and baby oil, and cut it out with circles large,,,,,,,I then matted it with eyelet circles,,,,,,,,I used a punch for the borders and spellbinders Foliage for the leaves,,a few buttons and a sun flower, some gorgeous lace from Martha Pineda and she's all done!!! My sentiment stamp was a 1.00 bin buy at Michaels, and it says Dream Big!

Here's a close up of this adorable stamp from The Paper Shelter!

Party Time Tuesdays!!!!!

Good Morning everyone!!!!! It's time for Party Time Tuesdays!

Today over at PTT, we have a fun challenge for you!! In many countries, the Queen of England's birthday is a holiday,,an occasion to celebrate!

So over at PTT this week, our challenge is,,,,,,,,,"Give it the Royal Treatment!"

In honor of the Queen's birthday (and just because we LOVE bling and shiny stuff,,,) we want to see lot's of gold, silver, bling, crowns, castles,,,,,,,,,,,anything ROYAL!

Our fab sponsor this month is the Robin's Nest. It's so great to have them back! They are always SO generous with our DT!

This month, they provided paper, rub ons, dew drops, and dew drop glue for the DT to create with! Thank you so much, Robin's Nest! I am in LOVE with the papers and rub ons this month!

Another fabulous sponsor this week is The Paper Shelter, who provided some of the images for this week!

And Tiddly Inks, who provided the rest of the images for our DT!

Thanks again, fab sponsors for your generosity!!!!!

And now onto my card, which I made with a Tiddly Inks image called "Castles". This digi set came with two beautiful castles, and I had a tough time deciding WHICH castle to use on my card, until I got my gorgeous paper from the Robin's Nest,,,,,,,,and THAT decided it!

I just LOVE the blue, black and gold I've used here,,,,,,,,,I colored the image with copics, of course, and layered it over this fab cloud paper by the Robin's Nest,,,,,in addition to the black and gold sparkly paper also by the Robin's Nest,,,,,,the sentiment is a Robin's Nest Rub On! Isn't it darling?? The crown is cut with Spellbinders Nested crowns out of more Robins Nest gold sparkly paper,,,,,,,,,,and tiny pearl dew drops were added. More dew drops in the corners and she's finished! It's rare that I do a card without some sort of bow or ribbon,,,,,,,but I just love it!

Here's a close up of the darling image and sentiment,,,,,,,,

I hope you enjoyed the card, and I hope to see you over at Party Time Tuesdays this week!!!!!!

Party Time Tuesdays!!!!

VINTAGE OR SHABBY CHIC!!!!! Squeeeeeeeeeeeeel! I love vintage!

Our wonderful sponsors this week are The Paper Shelter, The Stamping Boutique and Fantastic ribbon!

Thanks so much to our generous sponsors! They do so much for us over at Party Time Tuesdays!

I was given this DARLING image by the Paper Shelter to work with,,,,,,he reminded me so much of a vintage farmer, that I had to dig through my vintage farm images to see what I had!

And here's my card!

Isn't he the cutest???? I colored hm in copics using blues and grays to imitate denim, cut him out with spellbinders Long Rectangles and layered him over vintage freebies found on the web. A bright red bow to pull out the reds on the images, a vintage ticket, and he's done! Easy as pie, and such a cute card! I used Graphic 45 papers to make this simple, yet darling card!

Here's a close up of this darling image!

I hope you run right over to Party Time Tuesdays and upload your vintage or shabby chic card and join the fun with the Party Planners!

Thanks for looking, and I hope you liked the card!

Party Time Tuesdays Challenge 50!

Good Morning and Happy Tuesday! I hope everyone is staying warm! It's been chillier than normal over night here in Florida, although not nearly cold enough to have snow!

Today I have a card for PTT challenge number 50! It's time to PAR-TAY! The challenge is to use a bird image in honor of Save the Eagles Day. That's IT! Easy peasy! It can be any kind of bird!

We're being sponsored by the wonderful and fabulous Digi Doodles Shop and the Paper Shelter! I've used this adorable image called Happy Penguins from The Paper Shelter! Aren't they adorable?

I took my sentiment from the name of the stamp! They just seem like they are doing the Happy Happy, Joy Joy dance to me :) See?

Paper is a mixture of DCWV paper and Hanukkah paper of all things LOL. I built the snowflakes out of glittery chipboard pieces and plastic embellishments I bought at Walmart and then added a gem for a bit more shine. I cut the adorable penguins with labels 4 nesties after some copic coloring and matted them with the largest labels 4. A nice bow with the snowflake on top, and she's finished!

So come on over to Party Time Tuesdays and join the party! You just might win a prize from our fab sponsors!

Thanks for looking, and have a great rest of the week!
