Almost Famous!

Do you remember this little post from a few months ago??? Well, shortly thereafter I got a PM from none other than Mona of Cornish Heritage Farms and Mona Lisa Moments. I was completely humbled when she asked me if she could CASE my card!!!

Thats right Mona likes my little ol' card enough to copy it!!!! (Happy dance around the room)

Which of course makes me Almost Famous (watched the first 15 minutes last night, It's All Happening!!)

Anyway, finals are this week so unfortunately no card today, BUT I will be home this week which means...

BACK TO DAILY POSTS!!!!! WOOHOOOOO....

See you soon,

Cherish Today

I have always been fond of quotes. I just think that so much inspiration can come from a couple of words and that that is just so wonderful. Today's card definitely goes into the note card category on my desk as it's simple style and lovely quote can be sent for many occasions.

I'm really into this Thomas Kinkade card but at the same time I have trouble sitting down for 1 1/2 to color it, so my favorite way to utilize this stamp of art is to stamp it in a color. Today I chose Mellow Moss by Stampin Up with a card stock base to match.

I choose pink to be my contrasting color and stamped 'Cherish Today' by Hero Arts in Pretty and Pink. Next I used my Quickutz to punch out a photo corner. I wrapped up the contrast with pink rhinestones.

I think the contrast packs a lot of punch!

Kwerner Color Challenge #15

I totally forgot the Kwerner Color Challenge was due today, so you get two entries in one day!! I had a rough time with this combo as it looked so much better on her website then I could make it look. I tried. I am at peace with it (LOL), I think. The deets are below!

Summertime and the Livin' is easy!

Ahhh...the sweet smell of summer. No more classes, a lot less stress and a ton more time to stamp! When I am at school I order stamps to be delivered at my house in miami. This means that when I come home I have lots to play with!

This card is a result of all those products. During background blitz from Cornish Heritage Farms I ordered a couple of backgrounders and this cute owl stamp set. The poem is from an older Stampin' Up set called Friendship Flowers.

I used Purely Pomegranate, Taken with Teal, Chocolate Chip and Pumpkin Pie for my color scheme. That is one of my all time favorite combos!

I popped up the owl with dimensionals. Finally, I outlined the poem and colored the owl in copic markers. I used BG10, RV11, Y000 and V01 for the outlining. For the cute little owl I used E31, E33, E37 and YR23.

Basking in the glory that is summer,
