I Love Chocolate! Rio

Hello, everyone! One more showcase for this month from me! The collection is the Emo Valentine Line from Simply B Stamps! Today it's all about I Love Chocolate Rio! This is my favorite Valentine image from SBS! She's just so quirky and cute, and I can definitely relate with her love of chocolate.

 

For this card I used some lilac and gold heart patterned paper from my stash. Much like most of my stash, I don't know or remember what manufacturer its from. The card stock is from Recollections and the little valentine cards are from a patterned paper from my stash. I used the We R Memory Keepers  Sew Easy Stitch Piercer with the Hearts Head Attachment. I then stitched each heart in alternating colors. The image was colored with Copics.

Make sure you stop by the SBS Blog tomorrow as well for the last of our Valentine showcases!

Creative Creations Challenge - Anything Goes!

Happy New Year's Everyone! I hope all of you have started the new year with lots of happiness and fun!

After a break for the holidays, I am happy to say that I am in a creative mood! And it's been a long while since I felt this creative. So here is a card I made using a new image from Simply B Stamps, for the Anything Goes Challenge at Creative Creations.

 

This is the lovely Cupid Elisabete. She is a Valentine's Day Cupid image but I think she looks like she could be an angel as well.

For this card, I used some card stock and papers from my stash, a lace border punch, liquid pearls, paper flowers, Stickles, and Distress Inks in Dusty Concord and Faded Jeans. I hand cut the clouds from white card stock. The image was colored with copics.

SBS Birthday Celebration! ~My Last Day~

Hi, everyone! Today is my last day to showcase the Valentine Emo line for Simply B Stamp's Birthday Celebration! It has been fun and don't worry the celebration is going to keep going with the DT members sharing their creations throughout the month!

So don't forget to visit the SBS Blog to see more projects and get details about challenges and prizes!

Here is the last image in the Valentine Emo line:

Dream Big on Your Birthday Card. This lovely lady is I Love Chocolate Rio. Don't you just lover her!? I love coloring her hair!

This is the cards with its matching envelope. I used Echo Park papers and stickers for these.

This is the matching envelope.

Simply B Stamps January Release!

Hello, all! Get ready for some cute images! (And a long post, LOL!) Simply B Stamps has done it again! The two new releases are the Shape Up Teens, which are totally adorable images just perfect for the new year and the resolutions that come with; and the Jude and the Rockers Valentines, which are some cute and quirky images that will brighten any valentine's day!

First up; the Shape Up Teens! With these I decided that I would create a motivational calendar for the new year. These images are going to (hopefully) help in motivating me to eat healthy and exercise more. I think that they are cute enough that they may help!

Oh Oh Betty. This Betty is perfect for the month of January when we all step on those scales after the holidays!

Them Guns Chris.

 

Thick Thighs Lola.

 

Diet Cheating Jude.

 

Jumping Into Fitness Rio.

The following months show images from the Sweet Gothic Kids Olympians collection:

Track Alex.

 

And these are the front and back covers of my finished calendar!

 

 

And now for the especially cute Jude Valentines!

 

Ariel Cupid.

 

Jude's Heart.

 

Lilly Love.

Burlesque Bettys Sneak Peak - Preview Day 3

Hello, everybody! It's day 3 of the Burlesque Bettys preview and the images keep getting better and better!

Talk about a HAND-ful of cuties eh? What do you think so far?

Today's cutie is just a HAND-ful of sass! She's sure to lend you a HAND with your "SUPPORT" type cards!

Let's hear it for Betty Hand Bottoms!

For this image I got the theme of Love!

I Love You From Top to Bottom. I immediately thought of pink and black for the color scheme for the Love theme. It wasn't until later that I figured the green would make an awesome combo with them. You can't see it but there is glitter on the hands that are on her outfit. I love my Copic Spica pens!

The inside of my I Love You From Top to Bottom card.

Your turn to show some SUPPORT and visit the rest of the DT and show them some love? We all love to hear your feedback on our projects!

Let's Get Sketchy!

Hello, all! I just found out about a new sketch challenge blog that I think is going to be a lot of fun. They are looking for DT for their design team and their sketch design team. If you're insterested in applying, just like I am. Here are the details and the link to the blog:

Let's Get Sketchy

Hello everyone and welcome to Lets Get Sketchy, a brand new sketch site! As scrappers we all LOVE sketches, it takes a lot of the pain out of scrapping! So I have decided to create a sketch site for that purpose and need your help.

To get started I am looking for a few talented and creative scrappers to be on my design team. If you like sketches then this is the site for you! I am looking for a design team AND and sketch team. Your terms would run March 1st through Sept. 1st. The design team would be asked to complete 2 layouts per month from a given sketch and the sketch team would only be asked to create newly sketches for Lets Get Sketchy.

If you are interested and would like to be considered for a position then here is what you need to do:

1. Create a layout from the sketch below

2. Post about the DT call on your blog along with your layout from the sketch

3. Leave a comment below telling me that you would like to be considered for a position and which position you are applying for. Make sure you include the link to your blog where your layout is and your email address.

4. Become a new follower and spread the word about the sketch blog!

No previous DT experience needed to apply. Call will be open until Feb. 13th and announcement made Feb 14th. The first challenge will go live March 1st!

I can't wait to see what you come up with! International members ARE welcome to apply!

Call sketch:

*What do we ask of our Designers?

Two projects per month – our challenges go live the 1^st and 15^th of each month.

Promote Let’s Get Sketchy wherever possible, for example on your personal blog, online communities.

Commit to a six month term with the possibility of extending this for another term.

Leave comments on all challenge entries <- this is super important and will be monitored

**What do our Designers get in return?

The gratification of showcasing your talent for all to see and be on the ground breaking floor of a new sketch site. Designers will have a permanent link to their blog (or homepage) on our site.

Here is what I created with the sketch above:

Steampunk Valentine (7 X 7). I created this using the Graphic 45 Steampunk Debutante Collection and a steampunk rubber stamp from Simply B Stamps. The flourishes are handmade with acetate and liquid pearls and I added stickles to the roses for some glimmer. The image is colored with Copics and I also added some steampunk stickers from Jolee's. The sentiment reads "You're the STEAM to my LOCAMOTIVE."

Steampunk Valentine with matching envelope. I used the same paper collection from Graphic 45 to create a matching envelope for this large card/layout. I chose this collection because it went with C.S.I case file #4 and to fit into my Steampunk Challenge over at scrapbook.com.

Smudgy Antics Challenge - Sketch It

Hello, all! I am so sorry that I did not have this post up early this morning but I have been exhausted lately. My sleep schedule is irregular now and I completely passed out on the couch this morning after dropping off my son at school. I am sad to announce that this is the last challenge/project I will be completing at Smudgy Antics as a DT member. It was a whole lot of fun while it lasted! I hope that you will all stop in and check out the challenges in the future; they are always fun and outside the box!

Welcome Back!
Thank you to all the participants of last week's challenge. We always love seeing your creations!

This week is a bittersweet week at Smudgy Antics. It is the end of the term which means we will be saying good-bye see ya soon to some of the current members of the team. On February 1st we will have the announcement of the team for the new term. To honor the significance of our last week together as a team, both Smudgy Antics teams A and B will be joining together for this last challenge of the term.

This week's challenge is a sketch challenge. You may use the sketch as is or flip it, rotate it, etc to suit your needs. Your entry doesn't have to fit the sketch perfectly, but it should be clear that your project was derived by the sketch.

Here is the sketch to work with:

You can make a card, a scrap page, an altered canvas, a mixed media piece or household decoration. It doesn't matter as long as it is stamped somewhere and follows the sketch. For a reminder of the rules, check the left sidebar.


Here is my DT example for this sketch:

Smitten Card. Here is a card I created with Smeared Ink digi stamps from the Smitten and Glam Vamp collections. I used some papers that I have been saving up for years. The problem is that I've had them so long, I forgot what I was saving them for! Lol. I cut up some pieces of a bling flourish and added White Opal Liquid Pearls to it. The flowers are from Recollections. And I colored the image with Copics.

Whatever Wednesday 2-16-11

Hello, all! I've just emerged from a mountain of blankets to post this really quickly. It seems my son gave me the flu and I've been miserable all day. I've got chills, fever, a sore throat, a runny nose, and aches all over. I really wish kids would keep their germs to themselves! lol! So here are the layouts I wanted to share with you today.

Sketchy Thursdays GDT Sketch.

2011 is just tripping along, isn't it, and we're already ready for our March Guest Design Team Challenge!

I'm feeling the whole Valentine's Day vibe around here so I'm going to up the GDT ante.

In addition to using the sketch above, please include on your layout:

♥ Pink & Green or Red & Turquoise (I chose Red & Turquoise)
♥ Hearts (I made a heart banner)
♥ A list about something/someone you love (I listed something I love about each one of my family members)

My Family layout. This is the page I created for the Sketchy Thursdays GDT Call. I also created this for the (Paper) Trailmakers Challenge - Love Letters.

This week's challenge is all about Love Letters. No, you don't have to show us those letters you received!!! What we want you to do is a Recipe Challenge this time. Not actually cooking, ladies!!! You will pick 4 of the ingredients that are spelled with the letters from Love Letters and use those on your projects!!! You can use more than 4 if you would like, but you must use at least 4 to qualify for our drawing at the end of the month for that fabulous stamp set from My Pink Stamper that Sandi introduced to you the other day!! We also want you to tell us which 4 you used. Most of the time it is obvious, but sometimes it is not, so please "spell it out" for us!!!!

You will have until 5 pm EST on Saturday, 19 Feb. to post your project to Mr. Linky. Don't forget, for everything you participate in for February you will get your name in the drawing for the stamp set. And, we just may have some surprises along the way to get your name in an extra time! Sandi started us off with her challenge a few days ago to PM her over on the forum with the answer to a question - you can read about it here!
Lace(can be lace trim or doily or lacy paper)  - Used a doilie heart
Oval shaped item
Vellum
Eyelets - Used eyelets to hold up the banner
Letters - Used Thickers for the title
Edge punch (some call it a border punch!!)
Tag
Trim - Used pom pom trim
Electronic die cutting machine - Used my Cricut for the hearts
Ribbon - Used red and white ribbon
