1. First I changed the pink to red.
2. I used an SU! Set (Priceless) instead of the MFT set she used.
3. I changed the cb folder
4. Instead of the square tag that said thanks I used a circle.
5. Lasty instead of using a flower I used the Designer Label punch!

Tent Topper Card


Todays sketch challenge was to make a tent topper card.

The base of my card is 4.25 x 4.25. This will fit in our standard envelopes.

This is Fixafella. Isn't he cute? I'm going to give this card to my brother for helping out with some stuff around my house.

The card base is out of Bashfull Blue SU! Cardstalk. The dp is from MME!!

Fabulous Pink Olives


Todays color challenge was to use Pretty in Pink, Old Olive, and Regal Rose. Piece of cake if you ask me!! I loved this combo. I decided that I wanted to pull out Fabulous Flowers since I haven't used it yet. Isn't this set awesome?? I love it! I have been thinking about this layout for a couple of days. I seem to be really liking to panel lately. I used my dauber to ink up all the edges. The flower is layered 3 times.

Gotta brag for a bit.....

So I've been sooo excited this week that my landscaping is just about DONE!!!! With everything that is going on right now its really calming and nice to know that I'm able to get my landscaping done. It isn't cheep WOW!! Thank god I have the best daddy in the world to help me!!! Its not done yet, but since everyone is gone today and the plants were just planted I had to show it off to my stamper friends!

When I designed my house I just KNEW I had to have a courtyard. I always wanted a grand entrance to my house full of flowers and beauty. Well that isn't so easy in the desert so I thought If I build a courtyard around the front of my house it would help with rabbits, etc.




Here is stepping outside into the courtyard from my front door!


This is my front yard looking at the courtyard. The sod is suppose to be delivered Monday morning at 4 am I believe. Then the rock will be delivered Tuesday. The rock is going to go from the sod to the street!


I special ordered two palm tree plants that should be in next week to go into the two planters that you see here!! Ahhh I can't wait! I'm soooo EXCITED!!!!!

Inspiration Card




Todays Inspiration Challenge was awesome. I got to use TWO of my new sets. Priceless and So Many Sayings (I can tell I'm gonna use this one ALOT). The colors I used were SU! Bravo Burgundy, Regal Rose, and Whisper White. I used my window punch to make the tags.

Thanks for looking!

The flower is from Stampendous!-Fresh Bloom. I colored the flower in with Prismacolor Pencils and Gamsol. I used Riveting for the Enjoy Your Day sentiment and punched it out with the 1-1/4" punch. I then attached it to the Designer Label Punch out.


I used Pixie Pink, Temping Turquoise, and Apricot Appeal SU! Cardstock. The dp is from MME.

Sketch Challenge.....Revised


So I was totally bummed when I saw the sketch challenge today. I so need to get something that cuts circles for me! I have an oval one, but it SUCKS! LOL. Anyways, I still wanted to take a try at the challenge so I decided I would just use a flower instead of a circle! Hope thats okay.....

The flowers are from Big Blossom. The dp is MME!!

I misplaced my camera charger!!! ECCCK!! I had to scan it!! Its looks way better in real life, but what can I do!!
