Try It Out Tuesday #50 - Aqua, Peach and Cream

Aqua, peach and cream, my absolute all time favorite color combination! That's what our so challenging and inspirational leader, Suzanne, over at Susana's Custom Art and Card Design, challenged us members on for our Try It out Tuesday at Follow Your Heart! Since we've got a new Victoria Case release coming out on Friday so I thought I'd pull out one of my favorites - Milla! Don't you think she's fabulous?



She's all colored up in her celebration best in copics and a tad bit of Stickles. I added some Kaisercraft pearls in the corners and I'm totally over the moon with these gorgeous Prima Flowers that look like they're sprinkled with sugar. Just too precious!



This adorable face just calls you to celebrate, don't you think? I highlighted her bow and package with my favorite thing - Stickles! For some reason, I've been trying to pull it in and let my stamps stand out more than all of their surroundings. I'm trying to find some balance in my life and I want to apply that to my stamping as well.



So stop on over to Follow Your Heart and see what the other fabulous Design Team members have in store for you! And don't forget about our new release we have coming out on Friday! She's going to be fabulously delightful!

Welcome Back Try It Out Tuesday!

Welcome Back to Try It Out Tuesday from our Design Team over at Susana's Custom Art and Card Design! So glad you came to visit! We're off to a new year and Suzanne, our fearless and oh so talented leader, challenged us to make a Welcome Back project and with the help of my Nichole, Branden, and Trooper, I put together a Welcome Back project for my Hagrid! I just couldn't resist Winter from the Winter Wonderland Collection from Victoria Case for Susana's Custom Art and Card Design. She's just too sweet there with her little dog in the snow! I'd prefer her to be in a swimsuit hanging out at the beach with her little pup, but I know it's January and some of you love the snow!

Winter is colored with copics and then highlighted with Stickles and Liquid Pearls and glitter. What's snow without some glimmer? I added some Polar White Flower Soft for the Snow and thought she was just the sweetest thing!



My Hagrid has some of his favorite tgrats, bacon flavored chews, and a few new toys to play with and Mommna has a new basket from Pier 1 Imports (absolutely love that store!) He'll be back with me before I know it and I just can't wait!




Make sure to stop over at our blog, Follow Your Heart, to see how my Design Team buddies have decided to welcome things into their lives! We're all super charged and ready to share with you after our holiday break so stop on over and tell them all hi! I know you won't be disappointed!

Try It Out Tuesda #48 - Bling It Out with Dance!

Today is Try It Out Tuesday for Susana's Custom Art and Card Design and our inspirational leader, Suzanne, challenged us to bling it up! If there's anyone who loves Stickles as much as me, it's got to be Suzanne! But I've got to admit that I did hold back just a bit and tried to let Belle, this gorgeous stamp from Victoria Case from Susana's Custom Art and Card Design, shine on her own.



This time of the year always brings thoughts of the Nutcracker Suite and I thought I'd do Belle up in a soft colors and make her pop with this gorgeous paper from DCWV. She's colored with copics and I added some silver rhinestones to the corner of her frame and just let her sweet self stand out.



Don't they have the most gorgeous faces? You could just color them over and over.

So make sure you head on over to Follow Your Heart and see what my of so talented designing friends have come up with for your viewing pleasure! And remember, blinging it up always makes things better!

Try It Out Tuesday #45 - Button Up!

Since I've been in Florida, I've gotten a new respect for shopping! My dear friend Sonya has it down to a science, just like our very own, fearless and ever talented leader, Suzanne! She challenged us here at Susana's Custom Art and Card Design to use buttons on our projects this week and I decided to go with something bright and fun, just like Sonya and Suzanne!

This beauty is colored with copics and I added some Stickles to her top and some Diamong Glaze to her boots. I framed her with my nestabilities and threaded some Scrapper's Floss through the buttons and ran one of my favorite BasicGrey paper stacks, Junebug, through my cuttlebug. I really love the embossed buttons on the side.



I love this set of images because you can do just about anything with them! Make sure to stop over at Susana's store blog and see what my design team buddies came up with for you. You'll be guaranteed to be inspired! So go and button up and shop till you drop!

I'm Back with Try It Out Tuesday - Make A Scene!

I've finally made it to Florida and am just about unpacked and can find everything! I'm loving life and sorry I've been away for over a week. I've been settling in and getting comfortable in learning a new job and am loving every second of it! Warm weather, a cute new apartment and new adventures to look forward to. It just doesn't' get much better than this!



After missing a couple of Tuesdays, I'm back with our challenge from the ever talented, Suzanne, challenged us to make a scene and here's my take on it. I used Snow Fun, one of the new releases from the Winter Wonderland Collection from Victoria Case for Susana's Custom Art and Card Design. This one so reminds me of my gorgeous baby, Nichole, who would be out building a big snowman every day if she could! I've never seen anyone who loves the snow and outdoors like my baby girl! Honey, I miss you terribly and hope that you gets lots of snow this year to keep you busy and occupied!

She's colored with copics and I added some Polar White Flower Soft for the snow and some stickles to add lots of sparkle. I added some dimension to my scene by adding some different shaped snowflakes falling around the cutie pop and her snowman. And I love the Eskimo Kisses paper pack from BasicGrey.



Make sure to stop over at our Follow Your Heart blog and see what my always creative and inspiring Design Team buddies have in store for you. You'll never be disappointed by stopping over there! Girls, I've missed the heck out of all of you and thanks for your patience with me while I've been on the move. Love you all!

And make sure to check out the snippets of our new Elisabeth Bell Release that's going to be available on November 12th! It's like no Elisabeth Bell you've ever seen and I'd hate for you to miss out on the opportunity for some sweet candy!

Saturday Spotlight with Hidden Potential - Scene It!

We love all the participation we've been getting over at the Saturday Spotlight With Hidden Potential Challenge Blog! What great entries you've given us to all look at and inspire us! This week we challenge you to Scene It! Our sponsor this week si Squigglyfly so stop on over and leave them some love!

Mixing and matching stamps has always been a challenge for me. This week, I took two stamps from a brand new collection, Winter Wonderland from Victoria Case for Susana's Custom Art and Card Design and think it came out pretty well! Have a look:



This is my version of "Ice Time"! I like to think of it as a big sister taking her little sister out to skate and having a bit of hot cocoa while she watches her younger sister glide on the ice. This is a frequent happening up here in Maine and it seems like that just might happen a bit sooner than normal this year. It may snow this weekend!

I colored Coco Puff with her hot chocolate and Skater with copics and highlighted them with Stickles, Smooch, Diamond Glaze and Shimmerz. The papers are from the Eskimo Kisses pack from BasicGrey and I added some Kaisercraft pearls to the corners. I think they both came out pretty great!

Now run on over to the Saturday Spotlight With Hidden Potential Challenge Blog and take a look at the great scene cards my Sister Spotlight Diva's have come up with! I promise you you'll not be disappointed! You can see all their blogs on my sidebar so go give them some love. We'd love to see how you Scene It! So pull out some of those stamps that you know will go together and show your stuff off! I don't want you to miss out on the Squigglyfly prize when all you have to do is make a card! Have a great weekend!

Walking in a Winter Wonderland!

Did you ever have a collection that you just can't quit playing with? That's how I feel about this sweet, new Winter Wonderland Collection from Victoria Case for Susana's Custom Art and Card Design! They're all available for purchase now so make sure you head on over and pick up your set so you can come and play with us!

When I first saw this sweet Santa, "Walking in a Winter Wonderland" just popped into my head! I kept humming it while I was working on this card! Talk about inspiration! I just couldn't stop working on him and thinking snow and everyone knows how much I hate snow!



This cutie is colored with copics and I added some stickles to his suit and used Liquid Pearls on his hair and beard. White Polar Flower Soft just is just everywhere and I think is just perfect for this card! I added some Diamond Glaze to Santa's boots and all their eyes and used my MS snowflake punches and added some Bella Baubles to the corners. Smooch is perfect for his buttons and buckle and the ribbon on the packages. Love the shimmer it gives!



All the extras on this stamp just make it so endearing. Isn't the sweet bird sitting on Santa's shoulder too sweet? And if you can resist this sweet little pixie squirrel, then there's no hope for you!



And isn't this sweet little deer just adorable? I love so much about this stamp and this collection.

I hope you head right over to Susana's Custom Art and Card Design and pick this set up! It's way too cute to pass up!

Nobody Puts Kringlet in the Corner!

This is one of the most exciting blog posts for me since I've been back stamping. I get to start off our blog hop for Susana's Custom Art and Card Design's new Winter Wonderland Collection from Victoria Case! I'm so excited to be part of this great, fun and exciting event! So let's get started and I hope you're ready for some absolutely fabulous projects and images!

My favorite time of the year is the Christmas holiday season. I love getting a jump start and one of my favorite things about the season is holiday candy. We have it everywhere - on tables, kitchen counters, on the dash in my car, you name it and you'll find Christmas candy around. and it's always front and center stage, never hidden in a corner. That's why when I got the opportunity to present this little cutie, I knew she would never be made to be put in a corner! Meet Kringlet! She's one of the new stamps from the Winter Wonderland Collection from Victoria Case for Susana's Custom Art and Card Design and I think she's fabulous! My Kringlet and all the other fabulous stamps will be available for purchase from Susana tomorrow, Friday, October 16th! I don't want you to miss a single one!



This sweetie has so much that I love about the season. She's a sweetie pop that gives her all, she's giving her heart. She reminds me so much of both of my girls and their generosity during the holiday season. I stamped her with Staz-On and colored her with distressed inks. I cut her out and mounted her on the new Poinsettia nestabilities and used some velvet red paper and embossed paper and gold linen paper. I love the rich colors!



I tied a wide red tulle ribbon around a clear glass bowl and filled her with some peppermints. I finished her off by adding some Stickles to her dress and hat and Diamond Glaze to her heart and a bit of Smooch to her hat and sleeves. How cute is she? It's that exciting time for me when I get to bring a gorgeous image to life and present it to the world. Hang on to your hats because this little cutie, Kringlet, is going to have your running for your Christmas elf hats!



Doesn't she have the greatest, sweetest face? I love that you can color her eyes and I added a tiny bit of Diamond Glaze to her eyes. I could color her all day long!

Before you go, tell me what's you're favorite holiday treat? I love peppermints, like you can't tell! Now head on over to see Danni and see what great stamp she gets to present to you!

Ms MyTime! And We All Need It!

Don't you love it when you make time for yourself? We all need to do that and what makes us better for ourselves always makes what we give others so much more worthwhile. If there's something I'd love to pass on to others, it's that we need to find MyTime. Susana's Custom Art and Card Design make it easy to have some me time! And here's one way:



Ms. MyTime is from the Every Day Gal Collection by Victoria Case for Susana's Custom Art and Card Design and these gals are fabulous! She has some of my favorite things embodied in her - a great bath tub, pretty bottles with lotions and fragrances to make you feel special, candles, a great fuzzy robe and sassy shoes!

I colored her with copics and added some Sparkley Fluff and Polar White Flower Soft. After I cut her out with my nestabilities, I added some Bella Baubles to the corners and to the middle of the flowers. I used some of my favorite paper, Euphoria by BasicGrey and added a bit of design to it with my SD Fancy Lace edger. I added some Shimmerz to the tub and to the wall. I thought the Susanament sentiment that comes with this set was perfect!



Isn't she just fabulous?

So go and take some Me Time! You not only need it but you deserve it! But before you get your Me Time, get ready to be amazed because we're going to be having a great release of the Winter Wonderland Collection from Victoria Case for Susana's Custom Art and Card Design!

"It's Friday Night..." New Release from Susana's Custom Art and Card Design!!!!

I am so stinkin excited to share one of the new images from the new Victoria Case Everyday Gals for Susana's Custom Art and Card Design with you! These sassy, grown up every lady babes are part of the new double release Susana is doing that also includes some goregous Special Release for the Holidays from Elisabeth Bell. These will be available for order on today, September 29th, at 9 am (EST) or 6 am (PST)!! All my Design Team Gal Pals have projects up on their blogs so make sure to go to their links that are at the bottom of my message and see what kind of action they have going on!



"I just got paid... It's Friday Night..." I can't tell you how many times I danced to this song years and years ago! It seems I've always had some kind of cash coming in on Fridays and there's nothing like getting all dressed up and going out and relaxing with your gal pals. When I took one look at this sassy Miss Chardonnay, I knew exactly what I wanted to do with her! And this is one of the new Susanaments that's available with this set. Aren't they great? Just wait till you see them all!

She's colored with Prismacolor pencils and OMS and I covered her dress with stickles to give it that flassy look to it. I wanted her to be flashy and classy so I added some gorgeous Petaloo Dazzlers in gold and put some bronze Rhinestones in the corner. The DCWV paper is actually from their Once Upon a Time stack and I thought the rich colors were perfect for this beauty. I added a touch of Glossy Accents to her wine glass, stool and eyes and used an Atyou Spica Glitter pen on the chrome on the stool. The sketch is from last weeks Sketch Saturday and I love the different layers they had. Yep, about the only thing I love as much as Stickles is layers on a card! The ribbon is from my stash and I love how she came out!



I love this side view because it shows a little bit of the inside of the card. I've been inspired to create and decorate the inside of my cards and this shows just a bit of the corner.

Autumn Flower Soft!

Get ready, stampers, because Susana's Custom Art and Card Design is having a release coming up and it's going to be such a treat for us to all play with! Find all the details at Follow Your Heart!

Today Suzanne challenged us design team members for Susana's Custom Art and Card Design to create a card using an autumn theme and to try and add a bit of Flower Soft or Polar Soft to our cards. I went with the autumn theme and Autumn Flower Soft. I've loved this Sweetie, Autumn from the Hearts and Hugs 2 Collection from Victoria Case for Susana's Custom Art and Card Design since I've seen it! I think she's just so adorable and I know she would be perfect for this challenge.

She's done with Prismacolor pencils and OMS and I cut her out with my nestabilities and used some gorgeous paper from My Mind's Eye. I added some rhinestones and Stickles and Glaze Pen to the flowers and her adorable scarf and hat. I love my Petaloo flowers and thought the button with Scrapper's floss would add a great touch.



Victoria Case illustrates some of the cutest faces! I love their eyes. They look so life like when you add a bit of color and some Glossy Accents. Just love them!




Thought I'd show you what the leaves look like up front with the Autumn Flower Soft around it. I love this mix and think it's just gorgeous!




I love corner punches and thought I'd let you see what the inside corner of this care looks like.

Try It Out Tuesday #34 - No DP!

Well, Suzanne did it to us again! She threw down the challenge to our design team for Susana's Custom Art and Card Design to use no design paper on our card that we didn't create ourselves! I didn't think I'd enjoy this challenge but I had a great time just letting sweet Milla take front and center! I loved this cutie and I was in the mood to color her up with lavenders. Milla is one of the sweet images from the new Hearts and Hugs Collection 2 from Victoria Case for Susana's Custom Art and Card Design. I love how she came out!

I stamped her with Memento Tuxedo Black and colored her with copics. I used some Glossy Accents on her hair ribbon and dress ribbon and added just a touch to her eyes. My camera is acting up a bit and she's much prettier in person than on print. My paper is from Coredination and the ribbon is from my stash. I touched up her dress and ruffle just a bit with Stickles and then sprayed the entire card with Shimmerz Spritz. I added a Blue Moon Heart charm to the ribbon and finished her with a Bella Bauble in each corner.



Don't these cuties have the sweetest faces on them? I could color them forever! Make sure to visit my other Design Team sister's Blog to see all of their great creations! I know you won't be disappointed! So Happy Tuesday and try creating a card from just card stock. I'd love to see what you come up with!

Try it Out Tuesday #33 - Notebook Cover

One of my favorite things to shop for used to be back to school supplies for the girls. Don;t let me walk into Staples because it's way too hard for me to get out! I love the smell of new crayons and freshly sharpened pencils. Makes me think about all the things out there to learn and I get so excited about learning!



Our ever so talented Design Team Leader at Susana's Custom Art and Card Design, Suzanne Dean, challenged us to make a notepad or post-it cover to go along with the back to school season so I chose Susy, one of the brand new images from the Hearts and Hugs Series 2 Collection from Victoria Case for Susana's Custom Art and Card Design! I think she's just adorable!

I love the red and white paper and thought it looked fresh for back to school. I used the ribbon to add some black accents. Susy is colored with copics and I added some Stickles to her dress and pants. Some Glossy Accents gives a realistic look to her gorgeous eyes and I added some glaze to her sweet teddy bear. I love the patterned Prisma flowers and thought they'd give just a bit dimension. I can't wait to use this cutie!



This is a side view. You can see the cute pale pink pages of the notebook.




I just adore these sweet babies faces! Aren't they just precious?

I colored her with my copic markers and highlighted her skirt with my atyou Spica Glitter Pen. I used the SCS #243 sketch for this week. The paper is from a pack of paper called Sabrina by Making Memories and I love the pink and black together. I used some pink ribbon and the flowers are from Prima. I put a bit of Glossy Accents over her eyes to give them a more realistic look. Victoria does the greatest eyes on her images!

Try It Out Tuesday #23 - Sketch

I enjoy rain every now and then but enough is enough! That's how I used to feel until we started camping. We had a great little camper on a beautiful site off of a stunning lake up in the woods in Maine. When I realized I couldn't have a fire because the woods were so dry, I suffered through the rain to be able to enjoy camp in the evenings. But now I don't camp and want my warm weather and the sun!



Our talented Suzanne, our Lead Designer for Susana's Custom Art and Card Design, has given us a great sketch to interpret. I made a slight modification and made my center a rounded rectangle rather than a circle, but I think it keeps the integrity of sketch intact. Since we've had so much rain, this sweet "Singing in the Rain", one of the new Victoria Case for Susana's Custom Art and Card Design just popped into my mind. Don't you love the Susanaments? I haven't put so many words on my cards since I don't know when! I colored her with copics and added some Glossy Accents to her coat for some texture. I cut out an extra umbrella and attached it for a bit of dimension. I love this sweet DaisyD paper and am so sad that they're not producing paper any longer! I added some ribbon, a hatpin and a butterfly charm to finish her off.

Please make sure to stop by Follow Your Heart and see the marvelous cards my Design Team sisters have put together for you! They're fabulous!

I added some Shimmerz to the butterfly and some Velvet Flock on the sunflower. I added Flower Soft around the bottom and don't you just love those Mulberry flowers?

It’s Tuesday so that means it’s Try It Out Tuesday at Follow Your Heart, Susana’s Custom Art and Card Designs store blog! This week Suzanne, our super Design Team Leader, charged challenged us with using flowers. Well, I can do flowers!

I look out my window and I see some green and brown, but not much color. The weather here in Maine is so strange that you never know when to expect some color to come up. So I made my own! I used “Dear Diary” one of the new adorable stamps from Victoria Case for Susana's Custom Art and Card Design (SCACD), exclusively at Susana's store! I just adore her! She is from the first series entitled "The Hearts and Hugs Collection" and there are also ten Susanaments that just match this new line so perfectly.
She's colored with copics and I used some Azure Smooch on her dress, Shimmerz on her butterfly in her hair and some Flower Soft along the trunk of the tree. Don't you just love that gorgeous Petaloo Mulberry Wild Rose on top? And everyone knows how I love the Retro Paper Pack from Dovecraft, also exclusively at SCACD! Who couldn't get lost in reading and dreaming in your own private garden?! I used to write in my diary along the banks of a creek in our small town when I was growing up in West Virginia. You can go anywhere when you have your thoughts with you!

Thanks for joining us and go snatch up these sweet little darlings - but after the hopping! Make sure to stop by Victoria's blog and congratulate her on her wonderful talents and gifts to us! You can also find her Design Team members blogs for their take on her new stamps! Go spread the love!
