Bee Mine

So fun Love the Jar and Bees from Memory Box Dies and I used an interlocking backdrop stamp from Lawn Fawn to create the background and for the greeting.  

Busy Busy here I have one class left this month and the kids are only in school one more week until Spring Break.  They are not happy getting up every morning so far....

Hope everyone is having a great week......Thanks for stopping by.

Ready for a Monster High Party

 We used Abbi's every growing doll collection as part of the decorations.   I did get some MH stickers that I used to make the cupcake picks.

 And I found some Monster High stamps that we stamped the goodie bags with.  They are filled with more Monster High things like pencils, erasers, tattoos and stickers.

Proof I still Scrapbook!

I do scrapbook just not often!  I have a bunch of layouts I've done in the last few months to share though.  So here we go.  The Girls at Navy Pier after getting all of their hair cut off.  The pics are old cause one is now almost a teenager and the other one turned 10 last week.  YIKES time flies.

Oh well I used a Papertrey Ink stamp and die cut along with a Martha Stewart deep edge punch.  The papers are American Crafts.

As Always...  Thanks for stopping by I appreciate your visit!

Swap for March 2013 CARS

My swap card for this Months CARS(Chicago Area Rubber Stampers) Club Meeting.  This month we used a sketch for our cards.  I spritzed some white shamrocks with green Walnut Ink and glued them to Vellum Metal Rimmed Circle Tags, Embossed some white cardstock with a Tim Holtz Embossing Folder, Stamped Lucky down a strip of white then border punched a strip of green paper.  Everything came together pretty nice with some foam tape and green ink on the edges.  We make 16 items to swap each month next month we're swapping our creations with our white elephant mystery item we pulled out of the bag last month.  Mine is super challenging I"ll come back with a share on that process.

Hope everyone is having a great week!  Stay WARM!

Ciao Bella

EEEK we had a snowday Yesterday so I got to do a little playing while Abbi slept and Emily was out sledding and fort building with her friends.  Just a quick Clean & Simple card for a friend.   The stomach flu seems like it's almost over.  Thank Goodness.  Everyone goes back to school and work tomorrow.

Thank you so much for stopping by!  

A Little Bombshell Fussy Cutting

 I have a few of these Bombshell stamps!  Love Love Love them!  They are perfect for my Copics and for my favorite Fussy Cutting techniques.  Here I did a little paper piecing with her bathing suit and some Jillybean Soup Papers.  Then I cut her out when I was done.  I have a couple little tricks first is shown below.  I am not good at doing inside parts so I just matched a marker to background paper I was putting her on and colored it in.  Easy Peasy, and I don't need to stress out.  The other is to go around the outside cut edges with a Momento Tuxedo Black marker when I'm done in case I got a little over zealous with the lines.  All better and pretty.

Copics Used  Skin - E00, E21, E41, R21  Hair - E35, E57, E99, Y21

I know I've been MIA lately but we've had the stomach flu as of late so I've been dealing with that.  Hopefully it will be ending soon.

Thank you so much for stopping by hope everyone is well!
