Got Milk?

Here I am with a second sneak peek for Paper Makeup Stamps November release! Have you been checking the PMS blog this week? There's lots of eye candy to see AND ways to win some free rubber! {wink} Now onto today's card.....

Check out this cute, but desperate, gingerbread man! Can you see the fear in his eyes? {LOL} I could not resist typing "Got Milk?" and printing it off my computer to go with him. {giggle} I know if I had a tall glass of cold milk, the rest of this gingerbread man would disappear quickly, KWIM? He's part of the new Christmas Cheer set illustrated by our very own Shaela Odd.

Remember that Release Day is tomorrow, November 7th! We'll start with an all-day blog hop at 7am EST, followed the Release Party in the PMS forum from 9-11pm EST. Hope to see you there!

Thanks for stopping by and I wish you all the beary best!

Curvy Cookies

Raise the Bar - #43 Curves
Sweet Stop Sketch - SSS80

Today's challenge at Raise the Bar is curves and I was invited to be a guest Bar-Tender and play along! {grin} I've been in a chocolate chip cookie mood, so I pulled out the set called So Sweet by Paper Makeup Stamps. The cookies were embossed on watercolor paper and colored in with an aquapainter and ink.

For my layout I used this week's Sweet Stop Sketch, changing the squares to circles. The polka dotted chocolate paper is from October Afternoon and I used a MFT die for the jumbo scallops.

Thanks for stopping by and I wish you all the beary best!

Scooter Chloe

Sparkle Creations - SCRSC17 Sketch
Mercy's Tuesday Sketch - MTSC98
Raise the Bar - #42 Go, Go, Go (Vehicles)
Sentimental Sundays - #27 Birthdays

I had so much fun using Mercy's sketch yesterday that I wanted to make another card with it. Mercy is a guest designer at Sparkle Creations Rubber Stamps this month and her sketch is doing double duty for SCRS challenge too.

I embossed Scooter Chloe on watercolor paper and colored her in with an aquapainter and ink. I thought with the presents that she is carrying, Chlole would be a perfect choice for a birthday card. The sentiment is from the Birthday Cheer set by Paper Makeup Stamps. Papers are from Cosmo Cricket.

Thanks for stopping by today and I wish you all the beary best!

Wise Men

*For my Flutterby Wednesday post, please scroll down*

Today begins the sneak peeks for Paper Makeup Stamps November's Release and we are starting with Word Art. Be sure to check out all the fabulous samples that the Makeup Artists have created for you at the PMS Blog, as well as ways to win some free rubber! {wink}

For my card I got to thinking about the Wise Men and how one of the gifts they brought was gold. I thought the Beaded Oval Nestabilities from Spellbinders would make a beautiful gold frame and it reminds me of a crown. The crossed ribbon in the background reminds me of a gift. The word art stamp itself was embossed in gold on shimmery white cardstock and the star filled in with a yellow spica glitter pen.

Remember that there will be more sneak peeks this week and more ways to win some new stamps! Then on the 7th, we will have our release party in the PMS forum from 9-11pm EST. We hope you'll join us for some chatter and fun that night!

Thanks for stopping by and I wish you all the beary best!

This week is another open challenge at Flutterby Wednesday - anything goes for your creation as long as it has a butterfly, fairy or angel on it.

And we have a sponsor this week. Be sure to check out In Style Stamps! I have used their Butterfly digi stamp on my card today.

I used Mercy's Tuesday Sketch for my layout and I've just gotta say that I completely {heart} how my cards turn out when I use one of Mercy's sketches! I think I'm becoming a sketch addict, LOL. It's just so nice to not have to overthink about the layout when I make a card, KWIM?

Papers are from Cosmo Cricket and SU! I decided that I wanted a totally sparkly and shimmery butterfly. I colored it in with atyou spica glitter pens. Below is a close-up of all that glittery goodness. {wink}

Thanks for fluttering by today and I hope to see your creation at Flutterby Wednesday this week!

Flutter By Wednesday #127

Hey everyone! It's time for Flutter By Wednesday again and this week is an open challenge. Anything goes as long as you have a Butterfly, Fairy or Angel on your creation.

Life has been full with celebrating my son's 13th birthday. We surprised him with a trip to Great Wolf Lodge and had so much family fun this weekend. His cousins, aunt and uncle were able to join us too. Then it's been back to reality with lots of school projects and homework, plus my body's dragging from a cold virus that's hit me this week. But never fear, I plan to get inky very soon and have some fluttery goodness to share with you yet. {wink}
