My Scrap Chick cards

 You may be seeing a lot more of this type of card with cut files from My Scrap Chick - I just love their stuff!  Both of these cards are for the same 2 year old - so I had to make them quick and easy.  The first is made with My Scrap Chick's Party Girls and the second is one of their Easel Cards and they have lots more!  I can't wait to do some Christmas cards with cut files for my Silhouette!

Thanks for visiting!
See you soon!

Sparkle N Sprinkle's Flower Child Blog Hop

Welcome to the Sparkle N Sprinkle Flower Child Blog Hop!  If you hopped here by way of April then you are in the right place!  If not, you may want to go back to the Sparkle N Sprinkle blog and start from the beginning.  You could be eligible to win one of FIVE great prizes!  There are 2 grand prizes for those who leave a comment on each designer's blog and THEN there are 3 random prizes that are attached to 3 "mystery" designer blogs.  The stamps on sale this month are Flowers, Children, Spanish, and artist Tom Jones.  I'm sure you will find something along the hop that you just won't be able to do without! 

My first card uses Sailor Boy from set # 287 Children and LOTS of glitter!  The array of glitters at Sparkle N Sprinkle is just amazing!  Here I have used Orange Crush, Rapture Blue, Raspberry Soda and Spirited Green.  The digital designer papers by Maree Truelove are mounted on Sparkle N Sprinkle's Sour Apple cardstock and the sentiment is embossed with Nautical embossing powder.  The flowers are punched  from glittered sticker paper.  You can find complete directions here.

My second card uses the stamp Under the Dirt from set #406 Me and Mommy.  This would be a perfect Mother's Day card from a little one.  The inside sentiment says "Under all that dirt is a whole lot of love".  Now you're probably thinking that the flower embellishments are glittered like the first card - but NO!  They are glittered embossing powders in Tuscan Star, Sangria Star, Cerulean Star, Mulberry Star, Tequila Sunrise, and Americana.  The glittered embossing powders are what originally drew me to this fabulous company because they stick, they stay, and they are so easy to use!  The sentiment is embossed with Blue Ribbon, which matches the Sparkle N Sprinkle cardstock, Cyan.  The base cardstock is Sunshine Yellow from SNS and the DP is actually a napkin that has been ironed on freezer paper!

Thank you so much for stopping by and don't forget to leave a little love via a comment so that you are eligible for one of the fabulous prizes.  Your next stop is the wonderful Marie and her fabulous creations.  Have fun!

Spring Breezes on my mind

 It's challenge time over at Sparkle N Sprinkle and you've got all month to enter!  You know you want to win that free stamp set of your choice!  I thought this little girl (stamp set #287 Children) was perfect for this month's sketch and I've even added a little green for St. Patrick's Day.  Can't you just picture yourself standing on a hill in the country with the spring breeze blowing in your face?  The DP is Paper Pizzazz and I've touched it up with a little Lemonade glitter.  The Recollections flowers have a sprinkle of Lemonade too and the sentiment (Just for You set #444) is embossed with Bullfrog, as is the border around the little girl.   Both the main image and the sentiment are raised up with dimensionals.
