SSSC 158

Normally I don't make cards that I really really like. This one is different. These bright colors in Summer Smooches is so awesome. I love the brightness and yes, I know I've said that a million times already =)

I used the sketch at Karen Giron's Sweet Sunday Sketch.... 

 


Don't forget about the Retired List...check out the link on the sidebar. Remember once its gone its gone!

Firecracker Monday

Can you believe it....7 days until the 4th of July! Where has this year gone to? On a good side only 4 days until we can order from the NEW SU! catalog =)

I used THIS sketch from Eat, Sleep, Stamp and I think I might have my stampin' mojo back. I made 4 cards...yes 4 cards this weekend. That's more than I think I've made all month so I'm back on the right stamping path.

This card uses my cute Firecracker Changito and I colored him and the firecrackers in with SU! markers and blender pens. Of course some bling is needed when speaking of firecrackers so I used a Versamark pen and highlighted the ends of firecrackers and one of the firecrackers and added SU! heat and stick powder and added Dazzling Diamonds glitter to it.......firecrackin' fun.


Since Fillmore is the only place in Ventura county to buy fireworks, we now have roughly 20 firework booths set up along about a 4 mile jaunt.....insane if you ask me but then again I'm not a fan of fireworks.

Happy Monday everyone and hopefully it goes fast!

Postal Blue

Just a quick share today. I made this card for one of the office's in our district for getting 100% on a review! Trust me it hardly ever happen but the person who did it is a wonderful person and does a great job helping customers =)

In great postal fashion I used Pacific Point for the "postal blue" and added my Changito monkey's. The original stamp had "Happy Birthday" in the frame but I used my SU! markers and just didn't color in that part. After I stamped the image I masked off the frame, used my retired Mini Messages set and stamped celebrate in the middle. The star brads are from Targets dollar section last year.

Alrighty I'm off to work, hope everyone has a great Tuesday =)

MOJO #120

Well, so far so good on my card making! I made 3 this week (2 more than I planned for). I did my MOJO Monday challenge for the week and then a couple birthday cards for friends. The first pic is of my MOJO challenge. I made the card, however it just doesn't "hit" me. You know when you do something and it just doesn't feel right? Well this is the card. I played around with it but nothing made it better. Oh well there's always next week right?!
