My First Challenge

This is my first challenge attempt. It seemed to go quickly because I didn't have to think much. The idea is to follow their instructions, cool beans. The card stock and patterned paper are standard stock from JoAnn's as is the rose pink paper matting surrounding the stamped figure. The stamp used is Partygirlabella from the Stampingbella line and the words are from Stampendous Hey There Cupcake set. I colored in the party girl using Staedtler Karat Aquarell Watercolor Crayons.

A New Project - A Painted Sheet Set

This is a 'finish up' project I started for my daughter, Lindsey, a year or so ago. She was into frogs big time so for her birthday I painted frogs and flowers on a set of pillow cases. She liked them so well she asked to have sheets painted to match. Could I have guessed! LOL Lindsey picked out a set of green sheets several months ago and I finally got them done for her this week. The stamps are some I have had for ages. They are the foam old style type. The paints used were a combination of brands and were purchased from my local JoAnn's. Colors used were Delta soft black, Accent mellow yellow, Country Colors holiday red and Folk Art berry wine and thicket. Something a little different to do.

Another Birthday!

My friend Monique has moved to the state of Washington and left all her crafting buddies behind. We really miss her but are trying to keep in touch. She's coming home for a visit this month and we hope to have lunch with her.
Details for the card: The background paper was plain orange card stock and I stamped and embossed the flowers using one of the Stampin' Up Friendship Blooms stamps. The patterned paper is Posies Glitter Print from the DCWY collection Petite Sunrise Posies. The birthday wish is from Stampendous. The round circle is a plastic embellishment I purchased at last years Mega Meet.
