So Very Happy

Hey everyone!

Today is SUCH a good day! My best friend had a baby boy a few hours ago, the sunshine is out, I chased Nick (my 19 month old) around during Daddy's soccer game and now he is taking a super good nap.... I'm also tired and hurt all over but who cares about that? :)

As promised I'm have another card to share today...

I used a few fun techniques...first, I blended the sky with three different shades of ColorBox chalk ink. Its a pretty popular technique but this was my first go at it. The second technique I used was for the shimmery hill. I cut out the hill piece then ran it through my Xyron sticker maker upside down (so the sticky part was on top). Then I added glitter and pressed it down with a scrap piece of paper. Love it!!!!

Have a great day!

I just wanted to say that your cards give me so much inspiration, I love your style, and the simpleness of the lines of your cards. Can't wait to get back to my craft room!

Mama Elephant: November Stampede!

Welcome to the Mama Elephant Release Design Team blog hop! You should have arrived here from Geralyn's blog .  The newest release is now live and available for purchase in their store HERE ! The release is another knock out hit! Each stamp set is amazing! Today I'm featuring Cross My Heart and I sneaked in a few of the other sets too! ;) I started my card by die cutting the stitched index card . Then I cut out the window  which is designed to open. (cool, right?) I wanted a frame for my window so I die cut the window again and trimmed the side before adhering it to my index base. Then I backed my window with some cloud patterned paper for my outside sky. Next I stamped and die cut the cats from Purrfect Pair. I have had SO much fun with these cats. After adhering to cats to the window sill, I stamped and fussy cut the heart balloon. I tied some black floss around the balloon and adhere it to the kitten's paw. Finally, I stamped my sentiment.

Mama Elephant: October Anniversary Stampede!

It's Mama Elephant Birthday Stampede time!  This is so awesome, right? I'm so excited you've joined me from Stephanie's blog! Today I'm a sharing a lot of stamping goodness! Now that I'm counting, my card uses 4 new Mama Elephant stamp sets ! This card all started with the sentiment. My kids are always buzzing around the house singing and one of their favorite is Everything is Awesome (Lego Movie anyone?). :) I started with a faint pencil line to create AWESOME from the new Block Party Letters . I colored them in with Copics and then did some creative masking and stamping from Happy Everything to add the beginning of the sentiment. Next I stamped the penguin and hat (from the new Artic Penguins ), colored them and die cut them for a perfect cut. The soft, grey striped background was created using the new Boutique Borders . All stamps and dies can be purchased NOW at the Mama Elephant store HERE . Next up? The very talented JJ Bolton !
