This is the card I made for this weeks GKD Challenge - Get Inky... The Challenge is to use a formerly uninked stamp set or stamp. I have used an image from this set before, but not this one or this sentiment. This image is from "Hand in Hand" from Gina K. and id stamped with memento tuxedo black ink then colored with copics. This card will be going to the first baby girl born to one of my co-workers or friends. Since there are six mama's-to-be, one just had a boy, another knows she is having a boy, that makes 4 chances for a girl. The papers and brads are from Basic Grey's Bittersweet collection and the ribbon is from MFT's summer ribbon collection. Hoping for a girl next Susan :)

MFT New Release

Today MFT has released a sequel to the Twisted Sentiments stamp set released last February. It is called Twisted Sentiments Too. To honor this occasion, I use a sentiment from Twisted Sentiments on this card. I also used this week sketch challenge for this card, Cute eh. Thanks for looking, Susan

Happy Tuesday!!

It's been a while due to many computer issues. But today I have a card to share with you. I made this for the new Bellariffic Challenge on Bloggabella that starts this friday. Hop over to the blog for deets. The challenge this week is inspirational/color. The colors on the inspiration pic are red and purple. Not a combo I would usually use, but I think it turned out wonderful!! Stamps: Clickabella, I'm just a click away sentiment from MFT. Paper: real red, lovely lilac, GKD pure luxury. Ink: memento tuxedo black, copic markers. Accessories: cuttlebug swiss dot embossing folder, labels 2 and ribbon tag nestabilities, glitter flowers, red brad from Basic Grey's Bittersweet collection, purple glitter ribbon, red swarovski crystals and crystal stickles. Enjoy, Susan.

Happy Birthday Bikahbabe!

It's finally Thursday and the Gina K new release partay is tonight in the SCS forum. The release even includes Digi Paper, Woo Hoo!! I love digi paper. I just print it when I want it and with the texture I want. I need Shimmery paper, to try soon. I bet it will be amazing. There is even a stamp set that matches, and if you purchase any stamp set you get the digi paper free for a limited time, but then after that it's only $3.95 and you will never run out.... Can you tell I'm excited LOL :) Back to reality, I have a card to show you that I made for my BFF for her birthday. Being a biker Babe, she'll love it!! I used my Bikahbabeabella stamp from Stamping Bella, colored her with copics, added some stickles. The cardstock colors are lovely lilac and summer sun. The DP is from a glitter stack I purchase last year. The layout is this weeks Bella Sketch Challenge over at SCS. Thanks for coming to look, Susan

Toteally Fantastic

Today, I finished up my swaps for the Gina K. January swap. I can't post it until the swap is complete and everyone has their swaps back. I can tell you it took me many mock ups, three days and a lot of work to complete them and I'm happy with what I've created. :) For my card today, I used my previously uninked stamp set Toteally Fantastic. I combined the sketch and Who's that girl challenges for it. The theme for the challenge was to use patriotic colors, red white and blue. Being from Canada, ours would leave out the blue and only have red and white. However, in support of my US sistahs I left in the blue and added some pink for me. LOL I lined up the three totes on a clear mount and stamped them on Gina K pure luxury white cardstock. It was my first time using it and it is sooooo smooth. The purses were atamped with Brilliance graphite black ink and colored with copics. Next, I layered them on night of navy and pretty in pink cardstock. The DP was printed using my printer and the red kiss digi paper from MFT. The sentiment was stamped using night of navy ink, the edges were drug across a read red ink pad, then mounted in night of navy. I assembled the whole think on a pretty in pink card base and added the flowers, which were originally light blue and pink but I colored them with copics. The flowers were attached together using a silver heart brad, and secured to the card with foam mounting tape. Have a Wonderful Wednesday, Susan

Happy Tuesday!!

Hello fellow bloggers, I think I finally (fingers crossed) got my computer issues under control. I have still been stamping and today want to show you what I made with last weeks Bella color and sketch challenges. I used Lavender Bittybloom, the colors are ballet blue, lovely lilac, and brocade blue. The image was stamped using Brilliance graphite black ink pad and colored with copic markers. The image was cut out using rectangle nesties and layered on the blue which was cut with a scalloped rectangle nestie, the lilac was run through my cuttlebug with the script embossing folder. the ribbon is an older piece of lovely lilac grosgrain ribbon. Isn't she cute? Thanks for coming by, Susan
