Quickie Card!!!

A few weeks ago, I stamped and colored various stamps and put them away to use later. Hopefully this will help me out some, especially when I need a card right away! This particular stamp by High Hopes is among my favorites! The sentiment is also by High Hopes and I really love the way it reads. I choose soft pastels to frame the stamp and the strip of DP is a scrap. The buttons and ribbon are from my stash. I stamped with Adirondack (Pitch Black)and colored my image in with Copic Markers.
Since I'm a bit tired, I think my post will be a quickie too! *smile* Take care and have a great day.

*ETA I made a mistake and mentioned that my stamp was made by Whipper Snapper. Thanks to a pair of "sharp eyes" I realized my mistake and made a correction. The Stamp is a High Hopes Rubber Stamp!
Thank You:)

*After I photographed the picture, I later added pink thread to give the buttons a finished look.

Something for the little guy

I made this card using the stamps I won recently. This stamp is part of a package from the Little Paper Shop. I'm pleased with the results but I need it to look a bit more boyish! I'm going to make a few more cards later this week using more stamps from this same set. This time, I'm going to have to think "out-side the box" and give my cards a more boyish appeal! We shall see what happens:)

Details
stamp and sentiment Little Paper Shop, cardstocks Papertrey Ink, and my stash, inks are Adirondack and Copic Markers, Cuttlebug Happy Birthday embossing folder, Stickles (black), mini-brads and ribbon from my stash.

Thank you for stopping by and have a great day!

Tamara's Sketch Challenge for NSD

I discovered Tamara's Sketch Challenge while visiting a few blogs earlier today and decided to give-it-ago!
This card is supposed to have squares instead of the tabs though. But...I just could not make the squares work so this is my version.I punched out the tags and folded them in half and adhered to my card. I also paper pierced the Tweet's hat and bags with my DP from S.E.I. Thank you for the inspiration Tamara!

Details
stamp Pink Cat Studio, cardstock was a gift and DP are by S.E.I., Nestabilities small rectangle dies, inks Adirondack and Copic Markers, pastel pearls, paper pierce tool, flowers are from Target and ribbon from Really Reasonable Ribbon.*

Have a great day and thank you for stopping by!

From Maria
Once the clip is removed on this card, it opens up and I can journal notes and add small pictures etc. I don't know the proper name for this card but it's a card and a mini-scrapbook in one!!!!!



I had to take separate pictures to capture the beauty..Maria's work is awesome!



Here's a close-up of the flower...I love the colors!!!



The detail that Maria put into this project is awesome!


Blog candy I won from Allison
I won these darling stamps from Allison's blog candy give-away. The stamps are from Little Paper Shop and so perfect for making a card for the my son! Isn't it something how we rarely see stamps just for little boys!!!



I love these sentiments, especially the one that reads "boys and their toys"!


From Jana
This cute basket was made by Jana and was filled with yummy treats from Brazil!




This beautiful towel has been hand stamped by Jana and is very pretty IRL!

I have received some "happy mail" that I want to share with you all today! I am truly blessed to have made so many friends since I have started blogging. What makes this friendship so special is this, I have never met anyone in person! Yet....the acts of kindness that we display to one another is very real and heartwarming! A Special thanks goes to Maria,Jana and Allison for your acts of kindness.

Thank You for stopping by and enjoy the rest of your weekend!
