Jacksonbelle Tuesday: Inspirational Dresses


Weird title huh? Well this week's Jacksonbelle challenge is to be inspired by a little girl dress on this fantastic website called Hanna Andersson! I wanted to go with a Christmas theme so I chose this sweet little dress here. For my card I decided to use this sweet Gina K image and pair it with some AMAZING My Mind's Eye paper called "Merry Days of Christmas". I also pulled out some fun Basic Grey ribbon and tied it around the top of the card! The image was colored with my Copic markers and the edges were sponged with some Antique Linen distress ink!

Well, that's it for today's project! Make sure to check out this week's challenge details on the Jacksonbelle blog as well as the other Jacksonbelle girls!

Silver...er...Blue Bells! :)


Good afternoon! It's a cloudy, dreary day here in Westcliffe which pretty much matches how I am feeling perfectly. I am obviously not recovered from my illness yet, in fact, I'm feeling quite a bit worse. Yesterday was a pretty good day and I woke up feeling much better with the hopes that it was just a short lived virus. Well, I guess I was wrong because I woke up to discover that it was attacking me with full steam ahead! :( Anyway, I took some Advil and seem to be doing a little bit better now. Let's just hope it stays this way!

Ok, so about today's card. Isn't that image just fantastic? I just adore this Gina K set which was designed by Theresa Momber (she's so talented)! I decided to pair it with this fantastic My Mind's Eye paper called "Merry Days of Christmas". It's a fantastic collection of papers and you can find it on the Jacksonbelle Embellishments site! The ribbon I used is from Basic Grey and I adorned the card with some fun pearls too!

Well, I hope you enjoyed today's card! I certainly love how it turned out! Take care and enjoy your Friday!

Jacksonbelle Tuesday: Christmas Wrapping!


Good morning! Phew! This week's Jacksonbelle challenge really got me for some reason! I guess I had an idea in my head and just didn't know how to proceed. Anyway, I am going to try to keep this post fairly short since I am typing it the night before and I need to go to bed. Bear with me! :) This week's challenge was to create some kind of Christmas packaging of sorts whether it be a tag, a bag, a box, etc. I have recently discovered just how amazing my Cricut Expressions is (Did I mention it was a $60 Goodwill Find???) and wanted to try my hand at using the tag creator. What I love about tags is that you can add them to the front of a card, a gift bag, a box, or even just an unwrapped gift! The possibilities are endless! So to create my tag, I took my piece of Real Red card stock cut the big tag. I then layered on a smaller tag that was cut from the Cosmo Cricket Jolly By Golly paper! The next step was to cut out the word "merry" and attached it to another layer of chocolate card stock. I embellished my tag with some fun ribbon, Prima Flowers, and hardware brads!

Well, that's it for today's project! Make sure to check out this week's challenge details on the Jacksonbelle blog as well as the other Jacksonbelle girls!

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!

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!

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: Black, White, and Pink! :D


Good morning! Today's Jacksonbelle Tuesday challenge is to use black & white plus one more color! Obviously I was going to use pink! ;) Anyway, I pulled out the Inkadinkado Patterned Bugs stamp set for this card and heat embossed my image with black embossing powder. I then embellished the butterfly with some rhinestones and popped it up on the card. The sketch is from Beate's Weekend Sketch Challenge and the paper is from Stampin' Up! +

Today's Jacksonbelle Challenge is to use some or all of the colors Red, Green, Black, and Blue with Jacksonbelle products! :D You can find the challenge on the Jacksonbelle Blog. 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 "Kitten"! 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! I added some ribbon and rhinestones and then glued my card together, and Voila! I was done! :D

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! I used the new and fantastic Martha Stewart Snow Flurry Edge punch to create a little border and then punched out a single snowflake using a different Martha Stewart punch! I added some fun ribbon, glued my card together, and Voila! I was done! :D I was FINALLY able to play with this week's sketch from 2 Sketches 4 You and I had a blast! This week's sketch was perfect for my image!

Jacksonbelle Tuesday!


Yay! It's another Jacksonbelle Challenge! This week's challenge was to create a card using a Halloween or Fall theme.

WARNING: Do not look too closely at this card. It's definitely not a work of art!

Can you tell I am not happy with my card? The stamps are cute, just not the card! This week's Jacksonbelle Challenge was to create a card with only one layer. EEEK! One layer? That's impossible! Ok, so not impossible for some, just for me. Anyway, this card is pretty ugly so I am sorry. However, if you choose to play along this week, you could possibly win a pretty fab prize!

Jacksonbelle Tuesday: A Sketch!


I have been struggling to get a decent picture of this card all day which is why I am so late posting. However, now that I finally got an O.K. picture I have to run which means I will have to give you all the details a little later! :( Stick with me! I promise I will be back later!

ETA
Ok! I'm back! :D I have been neglecting my blog lately due to the fact that I have been working like crazy in my classroom. Today was my very last day of vacation and how did I spend it? In my classroom! Haha! At least I can say I am ready for Monday now. :D I promise to post pictures of the finished room soon!

Now would you like to hear the details of this card? First I cut a piece of Going Gray cs and sprayed it with some Shimmerz Spritz. I then punched the bottom of it with my new Martha Stewart Snow Flurry Edge punch! I then layered on some gorgeous Crate Paper and dripped some Crystal Effects down the front for an icicle feel. On top of the wet Crystal Effects I shook on some Dazzling Diamonds so that it would sparkles! :) I then tied on some May Arts ribbon and added a row of rhinestones to the bottom of the card! I stamped the sentiment and embossed it with silver embossing powder, punched it out, and popped it up on dimensionals. The final touch was the snowflake (cut with my Big Shot) which was covered with more Shimmerz Spritz and embellished with a Daisy D rhinestone!

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: No Stamping Allowed!


Well good morning everyone! I hope you are all enjoying your week so far. I have spent a lot of my time in my classroom since I have to go back in just 8 short days! Now, I am kind of excited to start back up but I know that once I do, I will be missing my stamping time. Thank goodness we still get Friday's off! :)

Anyway, today's Jacksonbelle Tuesday challenge was to create a non-stamped card! Now, for some this may seem kind of tricky but I actually quite enjoy making cards this way. It's a lot less pressure (in my opinion) because you don't have to worry about smudging any ink or coloring out of the lines! :D Besides, this week's featured product at the Jacksonbelle store is Shimmerz and I had been DYING to use my new Shimmerz Spritz! For my card I pulled out two flowers from my SU! Pretties Kit. I sprayed some Eucalyptus Shimmerz Spritz on the big flower and painted some Hottie Pink Shimmerz Blingz on the smaller flower! I also added some Hottie Pink Shimmerz Blingz to the plaid paper as well so that it had a little bit of sparkle. The designer paper that I used is BasicGrey's Leomande pack and the ribbon is May Arts Ivory Satin ribbon! I finished the card up by using a Stampin' Up! rub-on as well as some Daisy D Rhinestones!

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: Pink Paislee!


Good morning everyone! It's a beautiful morning here in Orlando! :D We are headed to Sea World today! It's going to be exciting!

Anyway, today is Jacksonbelle Tuesday so I am sharing this card with you! The challenge this week is to use either Pink Paislee paper or October Afternoon paper so I picked out some Pink Paislee Enchanting, Pleasant patterned paper and Pink Paislee Office Lingo, Lunch Hour patterned paper from the Jacksonbelle store! I just love these two pieces together! They are absolutely beautiful! The stamp I used is the Lizzie Anne Cupcake set. I colored it with my Stampin' Up! markers and blender pen. I then added some Hottie Pink Shimmerz Blingz to the sprinkles. I also sewed the edge of the strip and added a rub-on to the 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!

It's Jacksonbelle Tuesday!

And this week I want you to know that Inkadinkado is on sale! :) This is one of my very favorite Inkadinkado sets because it is all about cupcakes! :D It is even called "Birthday Cupcakes"! Hehe! This week's challenge over on the Jacksonbelle blog is another sketch and it is definitely a fun one! I had no trouble putting this card together and I must admit that I love the end results! To create this card I used Pink Pirouette for the card base and layered on some Pink Paislee "Pop Fashion" paper with Almost Amthyst card stock. After cutting out the image panel with my Nestabilities I then sponged the edges of my paper for some added depth. I colored the cupcake and hearts with my colored pencils AND added some yummy Hotty Pink Shimmerz Bling to it! :) I then tied on some Stampin' Up! ribbon and adhered three pearls to the corner!

Make sure you stop by the other girls' blogs to see their gorgeous samples AND visit the Jacksonbelle blog so that you can play along! I am off to my Stampin' Up! workshop today! It is going to be a fun one! I will update you on the details tomorrow! Have a fantastic Tuesday everyone!

Jacksonbelle Tuesday: Hello Friend


Welcome to another Jacksonbelle Tuesday! :D This week we have another sketch for you to play along with! You can find the sketch and the details over on the Jacksonbelle blog! I tried to stick with the sketch as much as possible but I ended up not having much choice because the image I had colored was longer than I anticipated! Anyway, it's close, but not perfect! :) My card uses a cute C.C. Designs image called "Polka Dot Emma" from All That Scraps but with her are so many fantastic products! The designer paper I used is actually the new Basic Grey Lemonade paper that you can pick up at the Jacksonbelle store! I also used some dew drops and stardust stickles on my card! I colored her in with my colored pencils and gamsol. The card stock, ribbon, and rub-on are all from Stampin' Up! as well!

Well, that's it for now! I hope you are enjoying your week so far! I am getting my hair cut this afternoon and I can't wait! :D

Psst...I've been hiding a secret! :)


Last week I decided to take a chance and try out for the Jacksonbelle Embellishment design team. To be honest, I didn't think I stood a chance. There are so many women out there who are far more talented than me! Well guess what, within 24 hours I received an email saying that they would love to have me! Oh my word was I stoked! I literally screamed and called my husband (who, of course, couldn't pick up at the time), and then my mom! Haha! I felt like a little school girl but, to be honest, I didn't care!

Here are the girls who are joining me on this fabulous quest!

Obviously the results were worth the risk! The same will happen to you someday! I guarantee it.
