Apple for Teacher

My cute card today uses a Fred, She Said image called "Apple for Teacher". My card qualifies for the OCC ABC's and 123's Challenge this week.

A very fond farewell...

I'm sad! Today is the last of the OCC Sketches for awhile! Our gracious hostess, Jennifer, is taking time off to spend with her lovely family and develop her business and will stop the OCC Sketch Challenge blog. The main blog "Our Creative Corner" and "Project Tuesday" will still be running, so make sure you stop by often!

So without further ado, here is my last card for the OCC Sketch Challenge. You will find me playing with the OCC challenges on Saturday from time to time. I used an image and sentiment called "Sunshine & Sunflowers" from Deedee's Digis for my card today.

Sweet 'n Sassy Sneak Peek...

Sweet 'n Sassy Stamps are releasing new stamps next week, and here's a sneak peek of a delightful set called Itty Bitties!! You can use them as a full set, or as individual inchies. These are just too too cute! My card fits the Our Creative Corner Sketch Challenge this week!

Make sure you join us next Tuesday for the Sweet 'n Sassy Blog Hop! You'll just love what the design team has created with the new stamps!

Harvest Moon...

Deedee's Digis has a few new digistamps for Fall in the store this week! I created this cute card using the Our Creative Corner Sketch Challenge! This digistamp set is called "Harvest Love". The sentiment is from the digistamp set called "Hello Pumpkin".

OCC Sketch Challenge...

It's time for the Our Creative Corner Sketch Challenge and the sketch is fairly easy! I had fun with my glitter paper and was covered in glitter all night! My butterfly is from Michael's and my sentiment is from Sweet 'n Sassy.

Pumpkins & a Ghost...

Well, I think I got food poisoning yesterday, I have been soooo icky! This card is for Our Creative Corner Sketch Challenge, and luckily I finished it earlier this week! So this will be a short post as I'm headed to bed in a few minutes!! I used two of the new EK Success Halloween punches on this card!

Well, it's my turn to play with the "Best Fishes" digi set from Deedee's Digis I just love the flowing fins and the cute stripes! The expression on this little beauty's face is just wonderful! Make sure you grab this digi as soon as you can as there are so many ways to use it. Make sure you look through all of Deedee's images for your paper crafting.

I made my card into a fishbowl design and I colored the Angelfish with Copic markers, then added some swirly glittery "grass" and a pretty pink bow to finish it off! I used the sketch from Our Creative Corner and you should stop over and play with us!!

I used "Ladybug Hugs" and the sentiment that goes with it. I just love having accompanying sentiments that are provided with the image, don't you?

Everyday Miracles...

Today my card focuses on one of the new June Releases from Sweet 'n Sassy Stamps. As you know, they have returned to clear stamps and they have just released their first sets. My card uses the "Everyday Miracles" set and it's a must have!

I made the cutest card ever for the Our Creative Corner Sketch Challenge this week! I just love this digital image called "Little Rapunzel" by Elisabeth Bell. My designer paper is from the new Summer Dream stack by Die Cuts with a View.

Sweet Butterfly...

I had fun with the Our Creative Corner's Sketch Challenge this week. I didn't even use a digital or rubber stamp on it! Can you imagine? I did use a pretty butterfly from a die I got from England! and I layered it onto a scalloped circle cut out. I used a Martha Stewart punch for the lower edge, some silky rickrack for the upper portion and my flowers are from Prima Marketing. I sponged on Memento Pear Tart ink onto the wings of the butterfly, then finished the card off with sparkly rhinestones. My designer paper is from the "Porcelain" pad from Basic Grey. Card size: 4 3/4 x 6 inches

You are my Sunshine...

Red Strawberries ...

My card today features a delightful new image from Fred, She Said! Luscious Strawberries! I'm eating a banana split with yummy strawberries on top right now! So fitting! The sketch is from today's Our Creative Corner Sketch Challenge, and I just love how my card turned out!

I printed the Strawberries on to Whisper White Cardstock, colored it with Copic Markers, then cut it out with a Circles Nestabilities. My designer paper is from the "Farmer's Market" stack by Die Cuts with a View. I  layered the strawberries cut out onto a Nestabilities Blossom cut out and used red pearls for embellishments. My red strip is punched with the new EK Success Scroll Edger punch, and my sentiment stamp is from Inque Boutique. I added a red organza bow to finish the card. Card size: 4 1/2 x 6 inches

Happy Mother's Day...

Our Creative Corner Sketch Challenge combined with an image from Sweet 'n Sassy makes up my card for today! The image I chose is "Bear Hug" which is perfect for a Mother's Day card! (sketch shown below)

I printed Bear Hug on Whisper White cardstock, cut out with small scissors, then colored with Copic Markers. My designer paper is from K & Co. and I used the Iron Gate border punch by Martha Stewart. My sentiment stamp is by Hampton Art, and I used Memento Rich Cocoa ink for it. My final touches were swirly pearls I colored with a matching Copic Marker, as well as brown self-adhesive pearls and an organza bow. Card size: 5 3/4 x 4 3/4 inches
