Lady Bug...Lady Bug...

You all better put your sunglasses on for this one..LOL This is for 365 Cards Super Sketchy Sunday, Day 50! Renae of Two Scoops Rice Designs recently sent me this fun Lady Bug stamp and I knew that I wanted to team it up with my A Muse Seattle sentiment! I recently picked up 2 6x6 Sassy pads via I {heart} papers. Check out the link, they are on sale now, or at least now, saturday evening...lol. The flourish chipboard pieces were actually plain that I colored with Copic Shock Pink {that's the color I used on Miss Lady Bug along with Cadmium Yellow} and then I covered it with glue via my Martha glue pen and then glittered them up with Stampin' Up Dazzling Diamonds. The Lady Bug is paper pieced onto the pattern paper.

I hope you all had fun with Scor-it week on 365 Cards...I know that I did. It truly made me stretch my imagination and creativity...that my friends, is what it is all about...that and not hoarding...LOL. Remember that you now have until Sunday, April 19th at 11:59 PM EST to complete all the Scor-it challenges. Good Luck!!!

Whatta Hootski!

Today's card is based on Laura's sketch 22 over on 2 Sketches 4 You. I cut into some brand new American Crafts..stinkin' cute, huh?!! Here's a short story about that paper:

My Mom has me pegged...she compares me to my Uncle {her older brother} who is retired but was in banking all his life...very conservative when it comes to $$...here goes my translation of it: My Uncle will "need" 3 of something but he'll only buy 1....I'll "want" 3 of something and I'll buy 6...LOL. I'm trying to be better about it, really I am. Last week when I went into my local Ben Franklin craft store they had a whole bunch of new American Crafts Craft fair and backyard. I have 2 words for you: oy vey. My Mom would be so proud to hear that I only bought 3 sheets of paper...3 sheets...1 of 3 different designs...oh boy, I wanted to buy more...but I didn't, nope {deep breath}.

Those fun owls are cut from the American Crafts Craft Fair design called Lucy Hootski...isn't that fun?!!! Cracks me UP! They are sitting on a SU heart shaped chipboard that I daubbed white craft ink on...waited impatiently for it to dry then smeared Crystal Effects on it so that I could then pour dazzling diamonds on it. Everything is on glue dot pop dots...the chipboard heart is actually on double decker ones :)The buttons are my SEI after Christmas buy {sue-pah cheap!}..I've been really into making sentiment-less cards...

Remember to check back this weekend...I'll have some super blog candy up for grabs and you know what Sunday is....365 Cards Sketchy Sunday!!!
