Season's Greetings Already...

This is another colored image that has been hanging around waiting to be loved. So I finally made time to love it. And I really LOVE it! Unfortunately, you will never see me make another card with it as I sold it in the garage sale. Oops :) Oh well, there are always plenty more where that one came from. The little pearl embellishments came in a pearl color and I colored them with my Copic markers to better match and added a little more color and visual interest at the bottom.

Crayola's?!?!?!?!

Who'da thunk it? Ok so maybe someone had already thought of this but here is my revelation for the week. I was so proud of myself...I had a braniac moment!! I am not much of a technique gal so for me this was a big moment. And here is a product of that whole thought process...

The colors used here are Pixie Pink and Apricot Appeal from SU! I LOVE these colors together--they are one of my favorite combo's---reminds me of a BIG bowl of sherbert.

The stamp...are you even surprised? The cupcake is from Inque Boutique. I will say am am very impressed with the stamps!! The Purple Turtle Shop has several really cute sets for $3.99 and up. Now, I tried these stamps before and was not sold...but that was a promo set...the sets that I purchased come with a black foam pad and that makes all of the different in the world when stamping with them....as a matter of fact that little black pad opens the door to purchasing rubber only stamps...cause the images stamp crisply with that pad underneath! The sets also come with some extra cling and an image index card and a label for the side of your CD case or whatever you store them in. I was very impressed!

Good Grief Almighty!!

Ya know I spent some time today looking at this card sketch challenge on SCS and all the great cards that were made using this layout...I was so inspired...had so many ideas...I get home get out my stuff and it takes me 2 FULL hours to complete this card...URGH! It was supposed to have a bird on it for another challenge but I finally gave up on that and just went with the words in the middle. I have more ideas but I am afraid I will be up all night again if I make another one of these :)
