Thar Be Mermaids in these Waters!

So have you seen the New Pirates Movie yet?

I did it was pretty good, Johnny was great but

the Mermaid stole the show for me.

I have loved the idea of Mermaids since I was a

little girl. WAY before Disney's Little Mermaid. LOL

Although I do love that story too.

The first story I heard was about a Mermaid who loved

a prince and he did not love her back and she turned into

sea foam. Sooo sad. I always wanted the story to end differently.

Anyway I used to play Mermaid in the pool and play with

my Sea Wee's in the bath tub. 

So I was inspired to make some Mermaid

creations. This is Oceania by Renee Biertempfel for 

Sweet Pea Stamps.

I went with a coral fleshy tone for the Mermaid's tail and added
diamond Stickles for some shimmer. I also used some green
web ribbon under the pearls and bling.

Come back soon for more Mermaid Creations!

Purple Twilight

Hi everyone! I wanted to share this new card with you all, 

although I used Sweet Pea Stamps  Midnight Rose by Elaine Cox 

I am calling it Purple Twilight.Because... a few weeks ago I was at 

Home Depot with my dad picking up new flooring 

for grandma's room, the new floor makes my life much easier. 

Anyway I stopped by the paint section 

and picked out some paint samples

and one of them is called Purple Twilight.

I have seen somewhere in blogland these paint samples used as

background papers and I wanted to do the same.

Originally I was going to use the whole paint sample, but

after deciding on my background paper I did not want

to cover it up. So I fussy cut my image I decided to use the 

paint sample with lacy accent die cuts. 

I love how it turned out, the sample is 

coated so the accents are a bit shiny and stand out.

What do you think?

It seems a little plain but I did not want to take away from the image or

the background paper. It's from K&Co. Abrianna paper pad from Michaels.

This another Mother's Day card as well for my Aunt.

I have a few more cards to make for mother's day so I better get to it!

Fly Butterfly

Hi! Hope you are having a nice weekend. 

I wanted to share another Sweet Pea Stamps creation.

This time I used Fly Butterfly by Ching Chou Kuik.

I really LOVE Sweet Pea Stamps and have always loved Fantasy Art.

 Coloring these lovely images makes me smile

as I watch the images come alive.

I used a  few new color combos I learned from the very talented Randi.

I was able to take a class from her a while back at

Paper Tales, a super cool

store in San Diego, CA. I also took another class 

there last week, hopefully I will have my creation finished 

later this week to show you.

Be sure to come back in the next couple of days as 

I will have something from Craft's and me 

and a Surprise from The Burtonesque Dolls on Tuesday March 29th.

This card is being entered into the following Challenges:

Thanks for looking!

Warmer Weather Sweet Pea

Well actually it was pretty warm today in 

sunny Southern California it was a nice 75 degrees today.

Today I have a Sweet Pea Stamps card for you using

Ching Chou Kuik's It's my Birthday.

She is for In a Sweet Pea Dream warmer weather challenge.

I had fun making this card and even tried a little bit of 

the dot background technique.

It was a lot of fun to do.

I used lots of Diamond Stickles, Gems and flowers 

for a mermaid garden effect.

Thanks for all your lovely comments they really make my day!

Enjoy!
