A Clean and Simple Picnic!
Isn't this Sarah Kay image from Stampavie just the sweetest? I decided to pull her out for this week's Clean and Simple challenge over on Splitcoast. This week's challenge was a fun sketch so I pulled out my Cosmo Cricket paper to use as the background strips. I colored the image with my Copic markers and sponged all of the edges with some Tim Holtz Antique Linen Distress Ink. After I popped the image up on dimensionals I then added some fun brads to the corners for a final look. Quick and easy! :)
Well, I had better keep this post short today. I am feeling kind of ill (dang morning sickness) and need to grab a bite to eat before it gets too bad! :D I hope everyone enjoys their Wednesday! I am officially 10 weeks along today and I couldn't be more thrilled about it!

Jacksonbelle Tuesday: Easy as 1, 2, 3!
1 stamp, 2 embellishments, and 3 layers that is! :D I must admit that only 3 layers is not easy for me though! It was so hard to not include a 4th! Anyway, this is today's Jacksonbelle card and I think it's pretty cute myself! :) I used my new favorite Stampavie "Mistletoe & Mice" image again as well as some yummy Basic Grey ribbon!
Well, that's it for today's card! Make sure to check out this week's challenge details on the Jacksonbelle blog as well as the other Jacksonbelle girls!

Jacksonbelle Tuesday: Vellum!
Did someone just say vellum? Yikes! :) Guess what that means, today's Jacksonbelle challenge is to use vellum! Yes, I admit that this challenge scared me but I was bound and determined to complete it whether I liked the final results or not! Well guess what, I LOVE the final results! :D I used the new Stampavie image called "Bear and Robin" and yes I know I colored my robin blue! Haha! I colored it in with my Copic markers. I paired this adorable image with the fantastic My Mind's Eye paper called "The Merry Days of Christmas" and layered on a piece of vellum to tone down the colors a bit! After adding my vellum I decided to embellish the card with some ribbon as well as some pretty pearls!

Make sure to play along because there is a contest going on with HUGE prizes! For my new stuff I pulled out this ADORABLE new image from Stampavie called "Mistletoe and Mice"! Isn't it so cute? I colored in the image with my Copic markers and after putting the card together I used some fun embellishments to jazz it up a bit!

It's a Rainy, Dreary, Day!
Today's card is using this week's Taylored Expressions Sketch Challenge! I used my sweet Rachelle Anne Miller Lily & Milo stamp on my card and watercolored it with my Stampin' Write markers and blender pen! After I was finished with my water coloring I then added some dazzling diamonds to certain areas for a little bit of sparkle! The patterned paper I used is my new SU! Cottage Wall paper! I LOVE purples and thought this paper was absolutely gorgeous when I saw it in the catalog. Well now that I have it in my hands I have realized how right I was! :D Ok, so I changed the sketch a little bit. The sketch includes a rectangle that hangs off the lower right side but since my image wouldn't allow it I put it on the upper right side! :D
Well, that's it for today's card. Make sure you stop by Taylor's blog to see her card as well as this week's featured sampler: Julie Lacey! I can't wait to see what you create with this week's sketch!
