Smoochie Baby - The Stamping Boutique

Coloring smoochies again, she is just to darn cute!  I've decided to try to make a few layouts a week, and so far so good.  I tried out my new fiskar punch too.  Gotta say I do love it, it cuts like butter.  I'm joining the following challenges with this wee little one:

Goth Girl - The Stamping Boutique

Have you checked out the Stamping Boutique Blog?

http://thestampingboutiquechallengeblog.blogspot.com/

Tracey just released this Goth Girl - doesn't she rock!  I love the fish net stockings, boots, and it's cool she is sitting on a brick ledge!  I really like the background space as well.  I'm feeling a need to shop!

Princess Jennifer Latte - Peace Sign The Stamping Boutique

A bit untraditional for a Valentine, I agree, but it turned out so cute! I used Princess Jennifer Latte, another image from The Stamping Boutique, however, I covered her coffee cup up with a sparkly heart in celebration of the holiday.  I followed a sketch over at Sweet Sketch Wednesday for their challenge this week, check it out.  Princess Jennifer and I have appearance engagements at the following places, see you there!

Saturated Canary Valentine Digi

Still playing with my CTMH papers, this time with a saturated canary digi.  I'm in need of a few Valentines for the approaching holiday.  It is a tradition at my house to send out decorated Valentine Cookies, they are huge (the size of a paper plate) and we frost them with decorator frosting and write our messages of love on them.  We just made the dough today in preparation.  It is way to much to bake the cookies, frost them, and package them in an evening, so we do it in steps.  But, if I'm on the ball and ahead of things, I like to include a Valentine.   I pulled out my punches, pearls, stickles, bling, nesties, and bows, and wala!  There are so many challenges going on for the Valentine/love theme, I thought I'd enter a few:

Birthday Fairy - Stamping Boutique

I think I'm hooked on smoochies and fairys from The Stamping Boutique for now!  LOL!  So much going on in this card, love, love love my papers from CTMH, takes all the guess work out of coordinating!  Sparkles, bling, fairys, this card just makes me smile.  I decided to make a pop up cupcake from my inky antics stamp set.  I must admit I've had the stamp set for quite some time, and just now took the time to try it.  These are sooo much fun. I'm going to try other shapes with my cricut machine and see how they turn out.  I'm entering my fairy birthday card in the following challenges:

Smoochie - The Stamping Boutique

I just love this Smoochie from The Stamping Boutique, she is so much fun to color, and perfect for Valentine's Day. I kinda got a bit carried away with add ons here, but who am I kidding, the more I can stick on it the better.  I never enter those challenges that are "clean and simple", quite frankly, I'm not capable of it! LOL!  I've entered the following challenges:

Jenna - Saturated Canary

Last night I thought I'd play with a Saturated Canary image.  I just love this one with all her layers and sassy hair.  I tried something different, I put bling in her hair for a barrette.  HAIR, I need to find a tutorial - that I can understand without an art degree, I don't want to bother with deciding which way the light is coming in, etc.  Maybe it's just me, but some of those videos are way to technical!  If you have any suggestions, let me know!  Really, the card can be made in no time, hair coloring, well, lets just say, I spent most of my time styling and highlighting her hair, and I still don't think I've got it.  We're off to these challenges:
