AmyR's Friday Sketch/ Tubular

Hi there! yup, i finally made another one. I just don't know how much stamping i'm going to get done with my girlies out of school now, they just love being outdoors.

For AmyR's Friday sketch this week, i used an oldie but cutie from C.C.Designs, Summertime Fun. FYI: this set is actually on sale at the moment at ATS. I used the D'vine swirls embossing folder for the waves in the background and distressed them with sandpaper. The Dp i used is from the Rough and Tumble paper packet from Ctmh. The cutsie little fish brads are from Doodlebug. Well i can't wait till tomorrow and see the new sketch. If you would like to give this sketch challenge a try be sure to stop by Amy's blog Prairie Paper & Ink, you can also find her blog on my sidebar. and don't forget the sneek peeks of the new releases available on June1st at ATS. The designers have made some fabulous cards -toooo cute!! Thanks so much for visiting and have a Great Day!!! :0)

Hi there!! Today i have put together two challenges with one card. I used the sketch from Friday Sketchers #53 challenge and the ATS Wednesday Challenge~faux metal. The little cutie i used is from C.C.Designs Gingersnaps Hey Cupid set. I used the sentiment from C.C.Designs~AmyRstamps~Friends sentiments to put inside my faux metal heart tag. To make the faux metal tag i used my scallop heart nestabilities and then followed the instructions found here. It's actually a fun technique i hope you decide to give it a try!! :0) Well that's all for today, I Thank you for visiting. and hope you have a wonderful Memorial Day Weekend!!

Flutterby Wednesday #58

Hello! Today i received my new Tilda and went straight to work on coloring her. While i was coloring i noticed the little butterfly on one of the roses and decided to use her for the Flutterby Wednesday #58 challenge found here. I love this Tilda she's sooo much fun to color. I used my stardust glitter pen to add sparkle to the butterfly and the roses. Since the challenge calls for a butterfly or fairy on the card i added another butterfly on my sentiment since the one on the roses is so small. I cut out a small square from my scor-tape sheet and added to a piece of cardstock so it wouldn't be so flimsy, i punched out a butterfly out with my MS punch, i peeled off the top and added glitter and there you have it a very sparkly butterfly. My sentiment is from C.C.Designs~AmyRstamps~Friends Sentiments. The Dp is Creative Basics Animal Crackers from Ctmh. Thank you so much for visiting my blog i hope you enjoy Tilda as much as i do.
Have A Great Day!!

AmyR's Friday sketch and ATS Wednesday Challenge

Teacher's Gifts

Hi There! Sorry i haven't posted in a few days, This week has been pretty busy with school fun days and awards ceremonies. I did make a couple of teacher's gifts though. I made my daughter's preschool teacher's these cute desk organizer's using Lauren Meader's "From the desk of " timeless template. They don't look too schoolish with apples or anything but i tell you this year just went by so fast i totally spaced ordering school like pattern paper and stamps. but i think they will like these none the less, you think? Well thank you so much for stopping by and i hope you have a WONDERFUL day!! :0)

Another Tilda

Hi there! Today I'm showing another Tilda card that i made awhile back for the April Mingle on the Magnolia-licious Yahoo group. Since Suzan has received her card already i figured now would be a good time to share. The recipe for this mingle was to use 3 flowers, 2 ribbons and 1 button. The paper doily heart i used in the background was from Ctmh a long, long time ago. and my cutie Tilda is Tilda in hat sitting that i purchased from Magnoliastamps. I hope you enjoy and Thank you for visiting!! :0)

HAPPY MOTHER'S DAY!!

AmyR's Friday Sketch

Hi there! Here is my sketch card for AmyR's Friday sketch challenge. I should of had it up earlier but after i finished it i was too lazy to take a picture of it and then i lost it!!! but i found it so here it is. I love this pattern paper from Bella Blvd with all the trees on it. When i ordered it i had no

idea what i was going to do with it, i just knew i liked it. since i've been neglecting my C.C. Designs stamps i decided to do this sketch with them but i needed something small to fit in the circles, so i used the birds from Olivia's birdies set. What goes better with trees than birds right? i just love when things fall into place like that. Well thank you for looking and i hope you all have a wonderful day!! :0)
