Love and Hugs!

I ordered from Whimsys Stamps this week. This kitty is from the Love and Hugs set from 2 Cute Ink and the balloon and star die down the side is from there also. They have lots of great dies and stamps plus some digi things too.
The kitty was colored like this on Whimsys Inspiration Magazine. I think the January issue. They have some great cards and especially coloring techniques in that magazine.
After I colored the kitty to match theirs I went on to use the sketch challenge from The Sweet Stop . The card you see in the back I forgot part of the sketch and so I made a new one and added the doily to make it more complete.
I had fun with this set and the die. The die does show up more in the card in the background. I have recently ordered some more dies from Whimsys also, so come back later to see what I have done with them.
Happy Stamping!

My Fairy Garden!

 

 

Here are some pictures of my fairy garden I just made. I would like to get one more fairy to sit on the bench but none of the fairys I saw did that. Some were kneeling but not sitting so I will keep looking.

I have a new bakers rack shelving unit I ordered and I am going to paint it and then I will have this as one of my center pieces.

I got everything for this garden at the local nursery. (The same one with the great cats). The jar I got at Michaels for half the price they were selling the containers for at the nursery. Michaels did have some things there too. Not necessarily for a fairy garden but it seems like terriums are in style again.

Lots of fairy gardens have live plants but I decided to go with one that doesnt. So I got a bag of little rocks, moss, the fairy and other items all at the nursery. They do have cool air plants that you only water once a week but I decided to not go the live route at all .

Happy Stamping!

WOYWW!

The hubby went upto Vancouver to have dinner with Kati last weekend. She was showing us all around. Then we had dinner at The Old Spaghetti Factory. It was sooo yummy. It sure has changed since I was there last. They only had spaghetti then. Now they have lots more and plus the same great atmosphere.

Anyway, since we were up there of course I had to go to Craft Warehouse. I found these Artbin products to store your dies in. I am going to try them out and see how I like them. This is like my third storage system for my dies, no my fourth actually. Anyway, they were on sale for a great deal and so I picked them up. So I will have to keep you posted on how I like them.

So this is Whats on your workdesk Wednesday for me this week!

Rain or Shine!

This is another SU card. This stamp set and embossing folder are also out of the new mini catty. I really like the umbrellas that come with this set. The little bit of ds paper is out of the Sale A Bration catty. I used a little flower punch and some rhinestones. Ribbon is also out of the catty and the green and pink strips are Washi tape I got for christmas.
I cased this cute little card from Inking Idaho . She is a stampin up demonstrator and has a great blog with lots of ideas. I changed her card just a tiny. You can check her out, she has some great stuff.

Secret Garden!

This card is all SU. The papers are out of the Sale A Bration catty and the flower is from the spring mini catty. It is called Secret. I stamped it and colored it with copic markers. Then cut it out with the matching dies for the two layers and the third layer was the very center so I had to cut it out by hand. The flowers were really fun to color. When I had them all cut out I added some white smooch paint over the top to give it a nice shimmer and added the brad also from SU. The greeting is an individual stamp from SU and the large white piece is also an SU die. There is a piece of Island Indigo ribbon across the center of the card but you can hardly tell it is there from this picture. The ds paper is also layered with Island Indigo cs.

Glorious Cake!

This is my finished card from WOYWW!. I thinks she is so cute and she really has her hands full with this cake! This image is from Lili of the Valley (LOTV). They have the cutest images! I am thinking about ordering some of the newest releases even tho I have only used a few of the ones I have.
I made this card with the sketch from sweet sketch wednesday . I colored the image with copic markers. Added some glitter gel pens and glitter. I pulled some papers out of my stash from last year I think.

Blue and Yellow!

I really like these papers and the color combination. I am going to have to do something fun with it. Maybe a Tilda or something.
I had another order for cardboxes. I am telling you, I dont know how this gal knows so many people to give these too but I love the orders.
I havent had time to take pictures of my other cards yet so I will have them later this weekend. I have recently changed locations at work. I may have mentioned this already. I switched from 4-10s to 5-8's but my "8"  hour shift today was just shy of 11 hours. So I have been a little busy this week!
Anyway!!!
Happy Stamping!!

Be My Valentine!

Here is another Valentines card I did with Peddlers Pack stamps. Both the image and greeting are from Peddlers Pack!
I was following a sketch but couldnt get part of it figured in so just went with this card. I like it because I think it turned out to be a nice clean uncluttered card.

This is one of the cards I did this month for Peddlers Pack. I like the tea set. I used some magnolia papers in the background but you cant see it very well.

Colored the image with copic markers and used a nestie to layer it. I didnt like it a lot at 1st and then put color to make the 'table' then I liked it better. It seemed to make it all come together!

PLayful Kitten!

Here is the full card with one of the Playful Kittens from Wee Stamps. This is a digi image. They gave them free awhile when you entered a contest for a different image. I needed to send something to Kati and wanted to make her a cute kitty card to send with it. I didnt realize until I had the papers cut and was getting the card together that this really looks like a baby card. With the colors and the kitten on it, it would make an adorable newborn card.
I colored the image with coic markers. Then used the oval nestie dies. Added a doily, some flowers and ribbon and some papers I have had in my stash forever.

Another Cute Kittie!

Isnt this little kittie adorable also. Just like the one yesterday, only not quite real. He came with a set of 4 kitties and some sentiments. It is a digi stamp from Wee Stamps . I just love all of her images. They are available in digi or rubber depending on who you order them from and how you want your image to be.
This is just a sneak peek of my card I made with this adorable image. He is colored with copic markers on copic paper.

Garden Nursery Finds!

We went to the Garden Center down the street today to find some pansys. We found them and some Iris', Hyacinth, and daffodils. Also we got these pretty blue pots.

One of the things I love about this Garden Center is the kitty at the top of this post. He is so cute. They have a rule no dogs in the garden center because this cat will beat them up. This "little" kitty is the size of a medium dog. He comes almost up to my knee he is so tall. And if you look at his sweet face he looks like a wild cat. I just love going there and petting this little kitty!

Sketch Saturday!

I recieved another batch of Peddlers Pack stamps the other day. So today I spent working with them.
I used one of my magnolia papers that I got at PP the other day. I love these papers and am so glad she is carrying them. I just wish she would carry the stamps too.
The sentiment is from Make an Impression.
I used the sketch from sketch saturday .

1st STAMP AND CREATE MAGNOLIA BLOG CHALLENGE!

This is my 1st card for Stamp and Create Magnolia Blog Challenge . I have used Tilda with flower pot. I though it would be good for spring since she does have a pot of flowers and also she has her little jacket on because it is still chilly outside. The challenge is spring and butterflies. I used my memory box butterfly dies I picked up last summer and hadnt used yet. I added some flowers and some fun lace and ribbon. Also some pearls. I have colored her with copic markers and then added some liquid pearls and glitter glue around the image. I also inked the edges too. My ds paper is also from Magnolia.
I am also entering my card in Magnolia Down Under challenge which is wings this week so my butterflies are perfect for that and Marvelous Magnolia where it is anything goes this week!
