Long time, no write! More about that in a minute but first I have to say, Happy Birthday Waltzingmouse Stamps! WMS is now two years old! Have you shopped at WMS? Don't be frightened that they are over seas. Claire will take care of you. WMS has the best customer service and some of the fastest shipping times around. Everything she has sent me has always been top notch. You cant go wrong there! Also her stamp sets are jam packed with goodness- so much bang for your buck (or pound as the case may be).
Because it is Saturday WMS sketch challenge also has a new sketch up. You can check it out
here. You can win a free set! Here is my entry:
I have three different sets on this card. I started with the sweet little doily from the dainty doilies 2 set. I stamped it in white. Next I took another small doily from the Dainty Doilies set and stamped it in a variety of colors on top of the white doily. Next I took the small cupcake from the frame It set and stamped it twelve times. I colored them with copics and cut them out. I used pop dots to adhere them to the card. The icing is colored with sakura clear sparkle gel pen. Finally I used the large cupcake from Frame It to make the tag. I colored it and added some stickles. The sentiment is from the Say It Loud set. The ribbon is from Martha Stewart.
And a little close up of the ribbon and tag. Look at all that sparkly goodness! LOVE!

So if you stop in often you may have noticed a complete lack of posts for the past ten or so days. I try really hard not to do that but we had a big happening at school that I was in charge of. I run the school's PTO (like a PTA but not affiliated with Nat'l PTA) and our biggest fundraiser of the year is an ice cream social. We have ice cream sundaes, cotton candy, popcorn, face painting, bounce houses, DJ, etc... And yours truly gets to coordinate it all and also go after people who are willing to donate their time or bounce house. It takes every waking moment pretty much to take care of that. We also have a huge basket raffle. I donated one. I thought you might like to see it.
Thats all candy! Aren't you glad your kid did not win it? LOL! Hopefully I will be back with regular posts this week! Thanks, as always, for visiting!
Good Morning! Its Monday! I have a sick little boy to take care of so I will make this quick. The big doily is from Waltzingmouse stamps. I mixed to stamps together. The outer rim really doesn't go with this doily but I think I made it work. The sentiment is from WMS Say It Loud. Its stamped on vellum. I have some American Crafts ribbon and a PTI button. Thanks for stopping in today!
This card is for my friend Merry, who is celebrating her birthday today! Even though we have not met in real life Merry and I share a common obsession with stamping. She is a wonderful lady, thoughtful and kind and crafty too! Happy Birthday my friend!

This uses a newer PTI set called Ad Sense and Simple Circles. The Ad Sense is a really unique set. I love the vintage advertising look- so cute and unique.
Same basic layout on both cards. I wanted to make a little set for someone. Who? I am not sure. These are still in my possession but I will be giving them away soon. Thanks for stopping by today!
I used the gorgeous Festive Foliage stamp set to make my cup. I love that set. Everything looks better with pretty pinecones! I actually used white cardstock but got it all inky with some PTI chai tea ink. The ink for the images is Palette new leaf and memento jumbo java. The liner is some old green patterned paper. I have no idea of manufacturer.
One more view of the tea cup. This template is easier than it looks but I am not going to swear its easy, LOL! I am a little challenged when it comes the fussy cutting and that handle was hard! But it was fun and I do look forward to making another.
I used two sets here: Vintage Circles and Lil' Buddies... oh and the teeny bee is from Spring Baskets. So I guess that is three sets. The little flower is from the Vintage Circle set. I think it looks awesome with those bees. Both of the circles are from the Vintage Circle set also. They are one stamp but I preformed surgery on them and now they are two. I dont do well selectively inking stuff. LOL.
The last picture is a close up in an attempt to show you the sparkle from my spica pens. Sorry photography is not my talent. Have a good day!
Good Morning! I have a couple more cards for you today featuring simple circles. The first uses the circles with the new big sentiments.
The second uses the circles with the Tag its set. I think it is set 3? Sorry early in the morning and I am not feeling terribly motivated. Thanks for stopping in!
