Then it’s your job, to hop around the blog links below to match up the little snippets with the full sized projects of each member. By the end of the two weeks, all projects will be revealed and all snippets can be matched accordingly.

Once you match all mystery sneaks to the project owner, and you can have a chance to win $33 Gift Certificate to PWCO … There will be a 3 prizes of $33,…. (get it, 3rd bday, 3 prizes, $33 gift card?) lol

Autumn Challenge at PMS

I got to play with my Paper Makeup stamps again and I put together this card for their challenge. I was to make a card using the "Autumn Fairy" poem posted on their blog as my inspiration. I used "Adam Fairy" and I coloured him with copics.

PMS & Belles N' Whistles Challenges

Whoo hoo! I had time to play last night, so I made some cards for a couple challenges. The top card is for the Paper Makeup release party challenge to create a card using pink, aqua and chocolate. I used their cute Arianna Princess Fairy Stamp.

The bottom card is for the latest Belles N Whistles challenge to use Real Red, Summer Sun and Old Olive. I used their "Belle Dusting Cuckoo" Stamp.

Keep watching my blog, because starting Sept 16th, I'm going to having some MAJOR blog candy to give away to celebrate my upcoming birthday, hooray!!!

An Enchanted Evening

I created this card for the next challenge on the Paper Jewels blog and the theme is "an Evening Scene". The stamp I used is called "Misty Reflections" by Ching-Chou Kiuks. I coloured her with copics and the design paper I used is from a stash that my dad picked up for me at a garage sale. I thought it was so cute when he called me from this garage sale that he was at asking if I wanted him to buy some scrapbook paper for me. There were 178 sheets for $7.00. I figured for that price I couldn't go wrong and I was happy to find that there was a lot more good then bad in the pile. WTG Dad!! The paper I used in the Lilac Tilda card was also from that same stash :)

Romantic Tilda in Lilac

I have TONS of Magnolia stamps, as I am a HUGE fan, but I just never seem to have the time to play with them. Tonight I decided, to heck with responsibilities and what I should be doing, I'm going to play with my Magnolias! I made this card following the Midnight Madness Sketch and I also played along with the Lilac & Lace challenge over on Totally Tilda Challenges.

Supplies Used:

Stamp - Romantic Tilda

Copics - E000, E00, E11, E35, Y23, YR23, V000, V91, V93, V95, V99, C00, C1, C3, C5, C7, C9, R20, G24

Hi everyone! Today is the 2nd Challenge in the PaperWorks Ultimate Summer Challenge and the teams participating are to create a card using the colours green, yellow, blue and red. This was the example I made and I used the adorable Rachelle Anne Miller stamp called "Beary Best of Friends" found only at PaperWorks Co. I cut the bear out and put him on these layers of cardstock shaped with my Fair Isle Spellbinders Die. The paper used is from Echo Park, which happens to be the paper featured in the PWCO August card kit, I'm really loving this months kit, it's so pretty :)

Love is Gone

I have a new challenge posted on my Paper Jewels Blog and the challenge is to create a project using Ribbon & Flowers. This was the example card I made. The image is called "Love is Gone" and I coloured her with Copics. And I decided to play along with the ribbon and make it look more like a picture frame with it all ruffled around. The ribbon I bought from Really Reasonable Ribbon and the Flowers are from Wild Orchid Crafts.

Paper Jewels Challenge #6

I have a new Paper Jewels challenge posted on the Paper Jewels Blog today, the challenge is to create a Monochromatic card, here's mine:

I used a super cutie from the Sweet November line of CC Designs stamps. I coloured her with Copics and added some yellow stickles to her wings for a bit of sparkle.

If you play along you have a chance to win this Sweet Pea stamp:

"Masked Fairy in Green"

In the Navy

Here's a card I made with the most darling Edwin Stamp ever! He came in my Summer kit and I decided to make a card with him so I could play along in the Magnolia-licious Highlites Challenge

to create a Nautical themed card. He's coloured with Copics and the sketch I used is from one of the Dirty Dozen challenges going on right now on SCS.

Dirty Dozen Challenges

So I've been playing along on SCS in the Dirty Dozen challenges. Here are two cards that I created for the challenges. The top card is a Rachelle Anne Miller stamp from PaperWorks called "Side by Side" and the 2nd card is using a Spesch stamp from Paper Jewels called "Birthday Boy Unwrapped". Both cards are coloured with Copics :)

Her wings are colored in with a Spica pen in Garnet, so they glitter. For my fancy border I used one the new lace border from Magnolia.

Penny with Sunflower

I just love how this card turned out! I used a Spesch stamp called "Penny" from Paper Jewels. I coloured her with copics and then added some flower soft to the center of the Sunflower that she's holding. I entered this card in the SCS challenge to use yellow. The background of the flowers was from a Spellbinders Pendant die cut set.

My friend Colleen has started a new venture making and selling pretty hair clips! She's offering some blog candy on her blog, so if you have little girls, be sure to check it out :) Here's the link to her Etsy store, Daisies and Sunshine.

Zach plays soccer

My son really loved playing soccer this year so I thought this guy would make a perfect card for him. I entered this into the F4A challenge this week on SCS. The point was to use your newest supplies, still unopened, so everything on this card was brand new still in the package, except the cardstock.

The ribbon in the corner is a free stamp that comes with the set of Sports Kids Stamps from PaperWorks and I decorated it with stickles and crystal effects to make it shine and sparkle.

Copics: R29, R27, R24, R22, E35, E11, E00, E000, YR23, Y23, C9, C7, C5, C3, C1

Just because...

A little while ago I was the lucky winner of the Really Reasonable Ribbon blog hop prize, which was the June ribbon club kit. This is a card I made using two of the ribbons that came in the kit. The stamp set is from Gina K.

Paper Sundaes Challenge

This week at Paper Sundaes the challenge is to create a card using white and one other colour. I went with green. The pretty frame and flourish are digi stamps from Fred She Said, this weeks sponsor. I printed them out and pierced little holes in all the dots. The ribbon is from Really Reasonable Ribbon, I just love the swirly designs in it!! The flower and stickles I used are from PaperWorks Co.
