Thank-you Lt. Col Kopf...

Last week when we had our Change of Command I realized I didn't make a card for our Director of Operations who stepped up to take on the role as Commander until our new Commander arrived.  Lt. Col Kopf is such a beautiful person inside and out.  So down to earth, fun to be around and well, I just love that lady!  She has done such a great job running the squadron these last few weeks and I just wanted her to know how much she's appreciated=)

I used this weeks SC344.  Poppy Parade, MME American Made, MFT Die-namics, Silhouette Sentiments, SU On Board Hearts and Stars, Tim Holtz Distress Ink.

I hope you are enjoying your weekend!  Thank-you for stopping by. My BIRTHDAY BLOGIVERSARY GIVEAWAY...only 2 days left=)

For My Lil' Monster...

My youngest grandson will be turning 1 on the 31st.  I thought Monstah Bash was the perfect image to use since I've been calling him "My lil' Monster".  I'm so blessed to have my daughter and grandboys with us...I love being able to watch them grow up and be apart of their daily lives.
This is my entry for the Bellarific Friday Challenge which was to use metal on our card.  I stamped my image on Neenah with Momento Ink, coloring with Copics.  I used a glaze pen on the balloon, Smooch to add some shimmer to each of the Monstah's=)  Echo Park Little Boy paper and SSC128 for my layout. 
Thank-you for stopping by, I hope you have a great weekend!  Only 3 more days left to enter my BIRTHDAY BLOGIVERSARY GIVEWAY!!!

Monogram's for Melissa...

I made a set of 12 Monogram cards for my friend Melissa.  She's currently fighting Leukemia and getting over Sweets Syndrome (a very painful skin rash from the Leukemia medication).  Melissa will be heading to San Antonio for a Stem Cell Transplant.  She's blessed to have her sister be her donor.  We had a lunch for Melissa yesterday to see her off to Texas and wish her the best of luck over these next few months.
My card is pretty basic, my favorite layout to use for monogram cards. I used Denami Design Auqua Shimmer Paper, BG, Very Vanilla, Justritestampers, SU Punches, Michael's Ribbon.

A Victoria Garden Birthday...

I made this for Card Patterns 126 sketch challenge and for someone who has a birthday coming up=)  I used Anabel Lulu for my first time (though I tested her out at our midnight mania on Friday with my prismacolor pencils-major fail!).  Anyhow...I stamped her with Momento Ink on Neenah, coloring with Copics.  I colored her hair with a Copic Multiliner and added white highlights.  I added smooch to the pink part of her dress and a glitter pen to the flowers and her ribbon.  Smooch then Stickles to the frosting on the cake and a glaze pen to the cake stand.  Sea Breeze and Wheat Versa Magic Ink for shading around the image.  Going Gray, (and I am!) Echo Park Victoria Gardens Paper, Nestie, SU Basic Gray Ribbon, CB Folder, and Tim Holtz Distress Ink very lightly around the edges.

Hello Lucious...

Another sample I made for the store.  This one I did just a few weeks ago for BG Hello Lucious .  Even tho this is such a simple card, I really just love it.

I used BG Hello Lucious Blissful, Bazzill Cardstock, Maya Road Cream & Yellow Ribbon, Thickers Letters, Circle Punch. 

I laugh everytime I see this card.  We were a little slow one Wednesday afternoon so I made this card really quick to put up in the store.  When I came in to work on Friday...this line had pretty much sold out so my card was sitting behind the counter for me, lol.  

Thank-you for stopping by!

My Blogiversary Giveaway=)   

Sweet Threads...

When the new paper collections come out sometimes we get designer sample packs.  My boss said I was welcome to the papers that the designers didn't use, I just had to make a couple samples for the store...only using supplies we sold in the store.  Humph.  Well, that proved to be a little bit of a challenge for me since I'm not a scrapbooker but a stamper and cardmaker working in a scrapbooking store.  I did step up to the challenge and tho these are not my best cards or even my typical style, I still wanted to share them with you. 

The first card I used Bazzill Cardstock, BG Sweet Threads Must Have, Dear Lizzy Blackberry Stamp Set, Maya Road Ribbon, Copics, and Chalk Ink.

For the second card I used Bazzill Cardstock,  BG Sweet Threads Lacy Organic, Dear Lizzy Blackberry Stamp Set, Maya Road Ribbon, Circle and Scallop Punches, and Tim Holtz Distress Ink.

For the last card I also used Bazzill Cardstock, BG Sweet Threads The New Plaid, Dear Lizzy Blackberry Stamp Set, Circle and Scallop Punches, Twine, Tim Holtz Distress Ink, and a Button.

So, the funniest thing of all...we didn't get these 3 sheets of paper in when we got the BG Sweet Threads Collection so these 3 cards didn't go up in the store, lol!  I made one other card sample for this collection that did go up in the store, but unfortunately it disappeared so I don't have a picture to share with you=( 

I enjoyed making my first 4 samples for the store tho it was challenging for me as a stamper and one who likes to break out those copic markers and color. 

Thanks for stopping by and don't forget about my BLOGIVERSARY GIVEAWAY.

Have a wonderful week!
