I've Got Inktegrity!
Hello everyone! Happy Sunday! I wanted to share this card I made for Inktegrity's Spring Design Team! Joni is the owner and artist and happens to be super sweet! :O) I used the digital stamp "Happy Mail" for this card. Be sure to go over and see her cute stamps for yourself!
Hugs & Kisses Silhouette
Jovial Judi was the Featured Stamper on Split Coast last week whoo hoo Judi! Big congratulations!I chose her Allergo sketch card to CASE because I was drawn to the silhouette stamp and the layout of the card. You have to change things when you CASE a card - so I used different colors and stamps, added a sentiment and butterfly.
My stamps are all from Rubbernecker Stamps - a lovely set called Floral Silhouette #467 and a background stamp called Bed of Roses
I added sticky pearls to the flowers, butterfly and sentiment.
Thanks so much for stopping by today!

A Colorful Spring
I seem to be chronically late for the teaparty's lately! But here I am none-the-less and the parties are that kind that just go on and on! LOL!! This week we had to bring some color to Abner the Abdominable Snowman because he is sick to death of WHITE!So I'm bringing along some green grass and blue sky - as well as this little penquin guy with his gravity defying Easter Basket. I figured Abner would feel at home with this ice loving creature and wouldn't feel so nervous about all the new colors he was seeing!
My card is also for Fran's Doubledog Dare Challenge to us this week - to make a 1-2-3 card - I used one ribbon, two little gems, and three designer papers!

The Shack is Back!
I used this cuter than cute bunny for my sneak peek. I like to call him Funny Bunny since he makes me laugh. Along with that I used the sketch over at Card Patterns. It really didn't come out like I envisioned, but not every card of mine is a masterpiece...it is original though. LOL!

A Clean and Simple Spring!
Yes- I think we are ALL ready for warm weather right about now... and the Clean and Simple challenge on Split Coast last week was Wishing for Spring!I used several colors of Memento Tear Drop ink pads to ink up my flower stamp (all four potted flowers are on one stamp!). Then I used a brown copic to make little lines on the pots to give a little depth and a yellow and pink copic to darken the center on two of the flowers. I also used the circle from a punch for their centers.
I drew a line around the edge of my card with a Micron pen just to define the space. It's amazing how that little line adds so much don't you think?
My stamps are from the Floral Silhouette set #467 by Rubbernecker Stamps
Although my card says 'Spring'! outside my house still says "WINTER" but the snow is melting a little bit each day!
I'm so happy to see you here today!
Tomorrow I'll be having a sneak peek of a new Waltzingmouse stamp set coming out on March 1st so be sure to come by to check it out!!

"So Grateful for Your Help" said Cinderella!
Here's my card for Mo's Digital Pencil challenge # 19 - 'Clean and Simple' - to use white or cream cardstock - one of Mo's images and one ribbon - that's it! No layers. Some of the samples had sentiments so I assume it was ok to use one.I colored the 'Cinderella' digital image with copics, stamped the sentiment and then just stapled on the ribbon! My card is 4 1/4 x 4 1/4. It started out a 5 1/2 x 4 1/4 but I punched some holes on the top to loop a ribbon through and it looked 'yucky'! so I cut off the top of the card! You don't want to cross me - I tell ya!!! LOL!!!
These fun challenges get posted every Thursday and you can win a free digi image! I love working with Mo's images - they are just SO sweet!

WMS Customer Blog Hop - The Theme is Spring!
Welcome to the Waltzingmouse Customer Spring themed Blog Hop! If you want to start with the first person on the hop - check out Angela here. If you get lost - you'll find links to all 52 participants on Claire's blog here.
Today I used Claire's wonderful Spring Baskets Template for my project - isn't it just divine?!?!! I stamped the zig zag from Off Beat Backgrounds around the top piece of the basket. Then I added this pretty narrow lace around all the joinings.
I white embossed one of the lacey stamps from Vintage Circles on a scalloped circle that I attached to the bottom of the basket. Finally I tied this soft as butter silk ribbon around the column and added the basket shred and yummy Lindt gold wrapped chocolate bunny to top it off! Miss Bunny came with a bright red ribbon around her neck - so I swapped it out for this soft pink chennile one!Doodle Dragon Studios Challenge #4
I thought this was too fun! I used the dragon riding a carousel horse for my image. Of course she had to be pink, but I also added a bow to her head and tiny eyelashes too. I don't know if you can see it or not, but the eyelashes really made it look like a girl to me. :O)
We would love to see what you come up with! Our challenges last for 2 weeks so everyone has a chance to play...that means you have until March 6th to add your DIRECT link to Mr. Linky on the challenge blog! Can't wait to see your girly dragons!

Mouse says to the Turtle...Get Well!
I made this sweet Get Well card using another of Karen's Doodles digital stamps. Such fun, eh? The turtle's name is Herbert and the darling nurse is Bigsby. Don't you just love these little guys? I had the worst time trying to photograph this card...the color is all washed out and it happened on every single photo! UGH! I hate that!

Final Twilight Tuesday Challenge
Rebecca says:
Creative portion: Create a project that uses printed text: a page from a magazine, book, dictionary, etc. within your project, as the background or focal point.
Comment Portion: I love to read the newspaper online but nothing beats a printed newspaper on Sunday mornings. And no matter how hard I try, I can’t abandon books (hardcover, softcover, or paperback) to a digital reader. Are you totally digital or do you prefer a good old fashioned printed page in your hands?”
I am all about the printed books...I would rather have it in my hands reading. Great for soaks in the tub, before bed time, waiting at the doctor's office. I know you can do all that with a Kindle (or whatever else), but I love the printed word. ;O)
I'll be back later with yet another post! I'm a busy girl today! :O)
DT Search & Blog Candy!
Be sure to visit her blog HERE to find out the deets! Call out and candy end tomorrow...sorry for the lateness!
An Orange Spring!
I very rarely, if ever (!), use orange - but that was the Ways to Use It challenge on Split Coast this week - and I guess that's what challenges are for right??!! to make you do something you don't usually do!And it sure does pack a punch doesn't it?!?!
I made one of these wonderful layered flowers with an orange flowered DP from PTI. After I got the flower together I realized that the white on the back of the DP showed here and there so I sponged it a little with orange ink.
I dry embossed a nestie frame in the middle of the panel then embossed this pretty basket from the Spring Baskets set by Waltzingmouse Stamps using white embossing powder.
I clustered the sticky pearls in the corners then connected them with a white gel pen. I sponged the edges and over the embossed frame a little with tea dye distress ink just to tone it down a little bit.
This is also for an inspiration challenge I found over at the Stamping Around blog. I was inspired by the basket of pretty roses.
