Smoochie Artist - The Stamping Boutique

The Stamping Boutique is sponsoring http://pennyschallenges.blogspot.co.uk this week, and their theme is "I Love you Mom".  Well needless to say, I made a page for my own 2012 Mother's Day pic with my kiddos.  I wanted it bright and cheery.  I thought I was pretty clever hand drawing a smoochie eye to make the eye heart u!  I don't know what those little puzzles are called, but I loved them when I was little!  So I made my own.  Also, check out the ribbon rosette.  I had a bunch in my cart the other day to buy, and said to myself "huh, you know you could really do this yourself ".  So that's what I did, I took a 3 inch piece of ribbon, folded it in half, ran a running stitch along the bottom, and gathered it tight, then added a pearl.  You can really crank a lot of these out on a road trip!  So, I'm definately going to make more of these!  I'm entering the following challenges:

Princess Jennifer Latte - Vanity - The Stamping Boutique

The Stamping Boutique is sponsoring www.kaboodledoodles.blogspot.com this week, and their theme is Honoring Mom.  I started out making a simple joy fold card, and it got away from me!  I love this!  The front flap tucks under the flowers to secure it shut, then the next fold pops out to show the 2nd message. I just couldn't stop matting this one to make it bigger, then the flowers, bling, netting, I couldn't help myself!  I'm entering the following challenges:

Skater Girl - Sassy Studio Designs

Sassy Studio Designs Thursday Challenge is "You've Been Framed".  Frame something!  The rules have changed, which is exciting, if you use a SSD image, you have 2 chances to win! So come on - let's craft!  This image is very special to me.  A while back Lindsay had a Design Your Own Sassy Challenge, well, I created 3, Jeanie, Skater Girl, and Ballroom Babe.  Lindsay loved them all.  I roughed up the sketches and submitted them to the challenge.  Lindsay put the whole sassy style to them, and they are sooooo awesome.  I have to smile when I'm in blogland and see people using them.  I kind of giggle to myself saying "oh yeah, I was part of that (of course, Lindsay did her magic to make them their sassy awesomness - she is so talented).  Sooo, I thought it would be fun to send a message of being who you want to be and not follow others.  I'm entering the following challenges:

Let Them Eat Cake - Stamping Boutique

 The Stamping Boutique Challenge this week is Monochromatic - in Blue!  You can use either craft or white, but try to stick with mostly shades of blue.  This week I chose to use Let them eat cake!  She is so sassy/snooty - gotta love her.  I tried a z fold card this time, with a sleeve that keeps it shut.  I gotta say it is really a cool fold, being I'm into different card shapes lately!  Hope to see you at TSB Challenge this week!  You may bump into me at the following challenges:
