It's time for another

and this week it's

Blue Crush.

When I think of Blue, I think of the Sea, which then leads

to mermaids. I have a TON of Sweet Pea Stamps mermaid images
so it was really hard to choose but today I decided to use the 

Beautiful Barbie by Joanne Schempp.

I colored her with Copics and kept the rest of the card
pretty simple. Some K & Co. Abrianna background
paper. Reflections flowers and a piece of Ribbon.

I chose to use Meredith Dillman's Broken Angel.
I kept the card pretty simple
to showcase the beautiful image.

I colored her with my Copics, I also used a

Sakura Gelly Roll pen in Clear Star

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
so this is a pretty easy challenge, but it
may be hard to pick just one image.
I can't wait to see what you create!

Sizzix decorative flourishes.

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.
I am entering this card into the following challenges:

"In a Sweet Pea Dream"
Bling it up

Totally Gorjuss
Water, Water

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!

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:

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!
