Wicked Tess

When I saw this weeks PPA60 I had an idea. Take Tote-tally Tess and make her Wicked Cool! But I had a problem...I do not own the Tote-tally Tess stamp set. I was in a pickle.

Jade to the rescue! Because she lives in NV she was going to have to do the stamping for me, but she allowed me to instruct her on how I wanted the card to look. What a sweetie poo...I love her!

So...here she is...hope you like her!

Merry Christmas!

Here's a Christmas card I made for this week's Stamping 411 Sketch Challenge #168:

I would have liked to make something patriotic...just something to commemorate the day. But I have no patriotic sets. So, I made a card that represents peace.

May we all feel that peace today and always. May we never forget that horrific day nine years ago. May those who have fallen rest in peace. May those who serve our country come home safely. May our country never see anything the likes of what happened on 9/11 again.

And may God bless you all the days of your life.

Same card...different paper.

This card is another version of the card I created yesterday. I really liked the way the card turned out, so I wanted to make an SU only version of the card. Here it is:

The Elegant Soiree DSP is SO, well, elegant...I just love it and how can anyone resist those rhinestones?!


Here is a closer looks at the flowers:

I WON!!!!!

I cannot believe it! I won Shelli's Color Creation Challenge for the month of August!!! I'm so happy! I don't think I'm ever going to be able to get to sleep now!

Sweet Sunday Sketch

This card started out as an entry for this week's Sweet Sunday Sketch Challenge #84. I took my inspiration directly from Karen Giron's card. Everyday I go to her blog and say to myself, "That is such a great card. I want to make one just like it!" Today I did...not exactly, but it is kind of sort of like it.

When thinking of the colors I was inspired by this week's Cupcake Inspiration Challenge #75.

Then I remembered this week's Pals Paper Arts Challenge #58 was Pretty in Pearls and I knew I had to finish it off with them.

So, thanks for looking!
