cruisin' by to say hi!

Happy Friday!!!!

Another busy weekend planned for me...we'll be celebrating my Momma's birthday and I'm hoping to work like crazy on some pub subs:)

Remember on Sunday when I told you that I walked away from a project because of a lack of time?  Well, I managed to incorporate it into a new challenge because the original one that I was working on has since ended.  

Introducing Cruising Chloe'ster:

Chloe has been paper pieced with 6 different patterns from the New My Minds Eye Gertie line...how can anyone resist all those fab colors?  Yup, her shoes have even been paper pieced!

I was inspired by CPS206:

This week, Card Positioning Systems is being sponsored by my buddie Sparkle of Sparkle Creations!  Chloe is my favorite from Sparkle's line of stamps!

I'm a big paper piecer and learned something new this week from Laurel Seabrook who is Yvonne's guest blogger.

 Can you guess what it might be?  Well, if you don't know, you'll just have to check out Laurel's challenge:)

I'm also linking up to the Moxie Fab Paper Piecing Challenge!

How's that for a multi-tasking card?

Have you been keeping up with all the festivities over at Card Patterns??!!!

You don't want to miss out on all the fun and prizes!!!!

**Just a Reminder**

Happy 365 Cards Super Sketchy Sunday!!

I'm super thrilled to say that it is Sparkle Creations Week over at 365 Cards!!! She is a fabbie bloggie buddie of mine and I'm sooo happy that she's started her own company...VERY coolio!

Okay, first up is the sketch from Pam:

I had the pleasure to work with the turntable josh image....

The sketch was a smidge tricky for me so here's my interpretation of it:

I used Cosmo Cricket's Joyride papers...love them...I did ginormous amounts of paper piecing on josh...

I was disappointed that the sentiment in the bottle cap really didn't photog well so I had to do a close up:

You're da bomb

Isn't that perfect?!

I hope that you'll join us in the sketch challenge and make sure that you check the 365 Cards blog to see what the other Sunday Sketch Crew gals designed ...AND make sure you also pop over to Sparkle Creations site...you won't be disappointed....such FUN images!!!!!

Thanks Sparks for being our fabbie sponsor this week!!!

Happy Wednesday on Tuesday:)

Surfs Up!!!

This is a multi-tasking card:)

TONS of paper piecing on Sparkle Creations Surfing Oliver....He's been pieced with Cosmo Cricket Early Bird...the background is Cosmo Cricket Snorkel. Lots of stitching, some Making Memories alpha stickers and some mystery white twill that I found:)

Yvonne Yam over at Do more with less, has a challenge that ends tonight...hence my Wednesday post on Tuesday:) Her Guest Blogger, Sparkle Smith of Sparkle Creations Rubber Stamps, issued a dream vacation challenge. Well, I was kind of liberal with that challenge...my boy had a BALL Paddle Board surfing in Hawaii last year so I knew that I wanted to use Surfing Oliver. Any beachy place is a dream vacation for us!
I'm also playing along with Sparkle's "anything travel" challenge over on her blog. Who wouldn't enjoy a tropical vacation?

My card is based on the oh-so-fun sketch over on Skipping Stones Design:
Okie Dokie peeps....thanks for stoppin' by!!!

hello chloe...

Hey There!

Patting myself on the back for finally mounting and inking up Sparkle Creations Scooter Chloe!

{{hey sparks!!}}

This was probably one of my most labor intensive paper piecing projects that I've done in a while...AND I had my girl do the purple pieces...that was BEFORE I evidently ruined her day...sigh, the joys of having a 15 year old daughter...

I KNEW that Chloe would be perfect-o with Cosmo Cricket's Joy Ride...whaddya think? Chloe is on mega glue dots...do you see the cutie pie exhaust cloud...Cracks me up! I used an EAD Sentiment Vinyl Rub On in brown...they rock...nice and opaque. Chloe's skin has been copic'd...you just can't seem to tell in the pic.

I did a ton of stitching on this one....

I totally lucked out as the new Sparkle Creations Challenge is favorite embellie:

What's not to love about felt flowers {& pearls}....

I was inspired by Card Patterns #75:

Here's a little background on me & Sparks...we're practically neighbors...super sweet gal...she came to one of my holiday gift shows in Seattle last year...tolerated my friends...LOL.

I couldn't be more thrilled for Sparks and her fabbie Design Team....

Thanks for stoppin' by!!!
