Hi guys!
I'm on the run again but I want to quickly share the card that I made for this week's Flutter By challenge. The challenge is to use three or more layers of paper on your card and that didn't seem to hard at all. Especially since I had been wanting to cut into the Farm Girl paper pad from October Afternoon for quite a while now. There is something about the Lucy stamps from CC Designs that have me using them with OA papers more times than not. This go round it is Butterfly Lucy coming out to play and I'm using this older stamp as a bit of a hint as to what is coming out at ATS in a few days. ;)
Ok friends, hope your day is great and I'll catch ya later!

Happy Easter...
Hello, hello!
The visit to the salon went really well yesterday and I got a new cut that I love. It's shorter than I've ever gone before but I feel like a brand new me. :)
So once again it is review preview day over on the ATS blog and today we are revisiting the new Sweet November Easter Pixies. I chose Hershel to ink up again because he looked like he could use a sunny day to hunt for some Easter eggs. I kept the card simple, it's not much more than paper and stickers but it didn't need much else for Hershel to have the best Easter Sunday ever. ;)
There is plenty more Hershel, Bonnie and Esther sweetness from my fellow ATS teamies so be sure to check out the All That Scraps blog today! And all of the new February stamps can be found right here in the ATS store.
Later gators!

Hello buttercup...
Hey there!
I'm so excited... I've got a long overdue appointment to get my hair cut this morning. It has gotten way too long and I'm ready for a good chop. I'm a little nervous though because I'm trying out a new salon and I'm hoping everything goes well. I'd really like to finally find a local place to get my hair cut at so I can schedule appointments more regularly. Wish me luck. :)
My card today is for the Farm Fresh Challenge over at The Greeting Farm. It's an easy one to use flowers and at first I was planning on inking up an Anya but when I pulled out the binder and saw the Beans first, I realized that I hadn't used Glisten Bean yet. So my plan shifted a bit and instead of the October Afternoon papers that I originally had in mind Bella Blvd seemed to be a better fit. The floral print is colorful and playful just like Glisten with her bouncing curls and cute grin. Then just for good measure I had to throw a couple more flowers on there. ;)
Alrighty, I've got a couple things to do before heading to town so it's time for me to sign off. TTYL!

Happy Day...
Good morning!
Ah, another busy week ahead. Not only that but we are wrapping up the month of February already... crazy! Though I have to say that the snow has been melting more and more so it really is beginning to feel like spring is right around the corner. Bring it on, LOL! :)
Anywho... today's card was a quickie that I put together using up some more of the Dear Lizzy die cuts that are currently living on my desk. I liked the bouquet of funky flowers so I printed out the adorable Fairy Wishes Wryn digi from Tiddly Inks to prance among them. After that all I had to do was add a sprinkling of gems and another die cut and this one was done. Like I said, quickie. ;)
Well, I've got to scoot my boot. I'll talk at'cha in 24!

Hugs...
Olo!
It didn't take me long to dig in to my JoAnn's haul and have some fun with these pretty, new papers. I really couldn't wait as those colors were really speaking to me... helloooo happy orange polka dots! ;)
All I had to do was figure out which stamp to pair with it. Fairy Magic was sitting on my desk with her 'come hither' eyes and there was no doubt that I had my character for this card. So I colored her up to match the papers and then checked out this month's sketch challenge over on the SOG blog. Because the paper I was using already had that great sentiment banner printed right on it (just on the wrong side) I took some liberties with the sketch and shifted the layout to the left side of the card to make it work. Then I remembered that this month's Oozak challenge is Anything Goes plus your favorite colors. And since that is exactly what I used I'm entering this into their challenge as well. :)
Okey dokey, time to figure out what to do with myself today. I'm sure at least some of my time will be spent getting crafty... hope the same goes for you too!

Hi...
Hey there!
Well I had a wonderful time shopping with my mom yesterday. We went to JoAnn's and at first I was convinced that I would be leaving empty handed. There was no sign of any new Basic Grey anywhere near the scrapbook aisles. We were getting ready to leave when Mom suggested we look over on the other side of the check out counters and that is when I totally scored! They didn't have the new Basic Grey Hey There papers yet but they did have the Fact and Fiction range and the best part... it was all 50% off! So I splurged and got a bit more than just the paper pads and I can't wait to dive into it all and play. :)
But because it was a long day of shopping, I didn't leave myself any time to create a new card to share today. That is why I'm posting a non-coloring card that I did a while ago. It's a fave color combo of mine with all of the citrus orange, yellow and green with just a touch of grey thrown into the mix. Quick and simple, letting the paper do all of the work... including the sentiment. It doesn't get much easier than that!
Oh, and before I head off to work... yesterday there was some questions about whether I had any videos made on how I masked stamped images so I'm linking up to two that I did which you can see here and here if interested.
Later gators!
Supply list:
cardstock- Bazzill
paper- American Crafts, Bella Blvd and Pebbles
The Twinery twine
Prima flower

It's gonna be okay...
TGIF homies!
I'm taking the day and heading to 'the big city' for a shopping trip with my mom. It should be fun to get out of town even if most of it is for grocery shopping. I do plan on making a side trip to JoAnn's to check it out, though most likely it will be the usual sad selection. It's too bad that the new Hobby Lobby won't be open for another couple of weeks... I guess that just means I'll have to plan another trip after the grand opening.
So I pulled a complete 180 on my card today. For the first time in years I tried my hand at creating a true single layer card. There's no paper, no ribbon, no embellishments... nothing but stamping, masking and coloring. What a fun challenge that turned out to be! I even broke out the Tim Holtz Distress Stains for the first time to splash color in the brick background so it would look like
