to add some sparkle to her hair

and wings, but it does not show up

in my pictures.

There are so many AMAZING winged SPS images

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!

I am entering this card into the following challenges:

Sweet Pea Stampers Recycle Challenge (Paint sample)

In a Sweet Pea Dream Anything goes
Crafty Purple Frog Challenges  Purple and Lace

Have a great day!

For Mom

I am finally ahead of schedule with making a card for once.

I just finished my mom's Mother's Day card.

I used Aloha by Ching-Chou Kuik.

I even made my very first easel card, which was really fun

and would have been easier if I had the right tools, I had to improvise.

I see a Scor-Pal in my future!

If you have any suggestions leave me a comment.

Here is a close up of the lovely Aloha.

I used my mom's favorite color purple for her tail, 

and the little mermaid is in green (teal)

my favorite color. This was a fun card to make

and I am happy how it turned out.

I am also entering this one in Sweet Pea Stampers

A card for your mother or special hero.
And In a Sweet Pea Dream's Favorite Color Challenge.

I  am really excited as I got some 

NEW Sweet Pea Stamps in the mail today

and I am off to mount and stamp them out.

Happy Stamping!!!

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:

In a Sweet Pea Dream Hello Spring

Sweet Pea Stampers Pack a Punch
