Kraftin' Kimmie's High Hopes Challenge#1

Thank goodness that Friday has come and gone, today was an extremely busy day and it feels good to sit down and relax.
I made this card for Krantin' Kimmie's High Hopes Challenge. She has a sketch going on right now and the prize is an awesome new stamp set from High Hopes Stamps!!! It has been almost a year since I have used this stamp and it was time to re-ink her. If you love to color in your images, High Hopes is the place to go!

Stamp Something's Dazzle Us With Something Challenge

I made this card for Stamp Something's Sparkle Challenge. Since I LOVE sparkle and bling, this was a "natural" for me. lol The image was downloaded from Pink Petticoat and colored in with my Copic Markers. The sparkle is my handy dandy extra fine glitter and my image is matted with Spellbinders rectangle templates. I decided to try my hand at doodling and doodled around my image with a fine tipped black marker. I also doodled using my Signo White Gel Pen.
Card stock is from Papertrey Ink and SU', DP is SU's Berry Bliss and a piece from my scrap stash, other embellishments are pearls, flowers, paper pierce tool and ribbon.

Thank you for stopping by and have a wonderful day:)

Onto the the birthday card.......> I can't get enough of my images that I downloaded from Pink Petticoat. To me they are super cute and the possibilities are endless! For Allison's card, I used the froggy image (he's adorable) and paired it with Certainly Celery and white card stock. I also used a strip of Design Paper that I think was a fun paper combination.

I'm starting to feel a little bit like my "old self" and I hope to be back this weekend. In case I miss everyone before the holiday, Have a great 4th of July and I will see you soon!
