Trust Your Heart

This card is based on the sketch over at Sweet Sketch Wednesday for week 36, but the colors and theme are taken from my daughter's request to have a "Princess and the Frog" themed birthday party. I need to get crackin on those invites! Here's the details:

Paper: Bazzill Pear Crush, purple, wine, white; SU! crushed curry; vellum

Stamp: Stretch n' Bubbles frog prince; Trust your heart background at Say It With Stamps by Jen

Accessories: paper flowers (don't you think they look like a water lily?), mini brad, dimensional tape, Gold Stickles, crystal effects on the eyes

Markers: green Twinkelette; Copics: yellow and brown

new digs

while I was redecorating the house, thought I would do a little work here too. Hope you enjoy the new digs, looking a little more modern than cutesy, but it just might grow on me. LMK what ya think!

hello out there!

I'm sure you have been wondering if I was still alive or not, and the short answer is "YES!" Ever since we moved into this house, all my creative efforts have gone to remodeling and decorating this home. I am happy to say that there is only two more rooms to paint-- my bedroom and the main bathroom. woohoo! Finished painting the living room during our last snow storm over the weekend.

So during THIS snow storm (Monday night-Wednesday morning), I caught up on grading and posting grades for families, and I even had time to play around with some stamps. 2 Red Banans posted a background challenge this week. Participants need to stamp a background for thier projects. Melissa at TMS posted a sketch challenge this week too, so I combined them to create the card below.

My DD Karsyn even played along! First up is her card, mine is below, in case you cannot tell the difference. ;)

Thanks for checking in on us, hopefully we will also weather the next storm!
