Gina K-Stamp TV Challenge

I also have been following Gina K for a few months and have learned alot from her weekly videos and use her website as reference all the time .  This is my first challenge for her site.
Here is her sketch ........

And here is my card.........
I only used one stamp on this card and it is  " Be my Valentine".  The image is cut using my Circut and the cartridge is A Child's Year.

Sweet Sunday Sketch Challenge #100

I am stretching my wings and trying another Sketch Challenge.  This is for Karen Giron 's "The Sweetest Thing "  Blog.   I have been a follower of her for a few months and have been inspired by her creativity.
So here is her sketch............


And here is my card.  The stamps are new this year from Flourishes called "A tokens of  Affection" and the papers are from JoAnn Fabrics.  I just love this set and will be posting other cards soon !

New card for Mojo Monday

And here is my card for the challenge.  This is a stamp that I have had for a while but the first time I have used it. 
The stamp is from Stampabilities - "Muzzy signing a card".  I thought that the background postage stamp paper went right along with the theme of the stamp.  The paper is from Gartner Studios and is called Bon Voyage - Postage Stamp.   The three postage stamps are from a scrapbook kit I bought a long time ago and I don't have any information on them to pass along ... sorry !   But they are cute pop ups !
Hopefully I will have more to show you later in the week !

Take care !

My First Post !!!


One of my New Year's resolution was to start a blog and participate in stamping challenges instead of just watching everyone else have all the fun. Soooooo !   this is my first post and first challenge.
 I decided to start with this sketch and will be posting the following Valentines Day card.




I started with a red card stock base and embossed the white stock with my Cuddlebug dot pattern
The "Be my Valentine" is a Inkadinkado stamp and the mouse is from Great Impressions.  I then colored the mouse using my Stampin Up watercolor pencils ( Love them !) and embellished with Reflections red crystal hearts.
