Rak-ey RAK-ity RAK from Allison!

Allison from Stampin' When I Can surprised me this week with a FABULOUS stamp! So, I may have mentioned to y'all once or 70 million times that I love hockey. And well, so like...well...I'll just let you see what she sent:

Isn't it fabulous?! Isn't that a cute card? She used one of those ugly monsters that I find so disturbing on it...and the sentiment? PERFECT for me because I am soo not a people person #1 and #2 when I have to go to work at 6am and deal with whiny people at the drug dealership, I just want to bang my head in the floor until I'm unconscious.

Thank you, Allison, for the great RAK! Real women DO love hockey! hehe!

Put on your sunglasses....

this is sort of a bright one. LOL! I just love using bright, bold colors. They make me happy. Okay, so the brown isn't a bright color, but the green and blue and orange sure are! :D

What I used: RAK'd image from Kelly, Copic markesr to color, Shimmerz paints on her angel wings, Prima flowers, SU CS, PP, ribbon.

Thanks for running by today!

Aww...flowers?! Thank you!

Little Edwin..Isn't he adorable with his little flowers? He's probably been naughty and is trying to get back in your good graces or something. hehe

Another RAK'd image from Kelly. Are y'all sick of seeing these yet? I'm not and this is my blog and what I say goes. LOL!

I promise to have some new things later to share...maybe. :)

This is a sketch I found on the Friday Sketchers blog. What a fun sketch it was, too!

And look at those wings! They're sooo shimmery! I used Shimmerz paints on them. Of course! Little wings need to be shimmery. :D

What I used: Edwin from Magnolia Stamps, SU CS, can't remember who makes this patterned paper, colored with Copics and Shimmerz Paints, Prima flowers, ribbon, brad, bead spacer, Cuttlebug, Nestabilities, Perfect Layers tool.

Here is a close-up of the Shimmerz:

Sorry for the bad photography...

but I've tried and tried to photograph this card and it always ends up wonky. Maybe I should have tried the point and shoot camera rather than the fancy DSLR one. LOL

What I used: RAK'd image from Kelly. Colored with Prisma and Koh-I-Noor pencils with OMS, the ornaments were colored with Copic markers and Spica glitter pens. The garland is textured with Flower Soft and the little charm is from my wine glass charms that I mentioned in a previous post. SU CS, MME PP, SU ribbon.

Thanks for stopping by. Have a great Monday!

More fun with my RAK'd images

Y'all cannot possibly understand how much I LOOOOVE to get stamped images. Seriously, they're better than a whole mailbox full of stamps because I don't have to try to stamp out the images. I'm still not the best stamper. The black outliner pen is my favorite tool. LOL!

And can I say that I'm SO MUCH in love with these images? I'm gonna have to break down and buy the stamps. (Or I could ask for images on Wish RAK but it has been a long time since I requested anything over there.)

The sketch I used was from Jen del Muro's blog last week. Just getting around to posting it. hehe

What I used: RAK'd image, Copic markers, Cuttlebug, Nestabilities, White gel pen, SU CS, DCWV PP and perfect layers tool. EASY PEASY LEMON SQUEEZY!

Later, y'all! Happy Sunday!!

Having some fun coloring!

When Kelly sent me these images, I sat down almost immediately and started coloring. I just love, love coloring...always have!

What I used: RAK'd image from Kelly. Think it is High Hopes? Colored with Copic markers and Spica glitter pens. Also used Cuttlebug, Nestabilities, ribbon, white gel pen, beads and brads, and SU CS.

Thanks for stopping by today! Have a great weekend! :)

Final Card Challenge for WCMD!

Maybe. OH wait, no. I made another. I'll share that later. ;)

I used the CUTE CUTE sketch at the Little Paper Shop Blog. Oof. This was sooo fun! Loving the squares!

What I used: Stamped image sent to me from Kelly. It is from Whiff of Joy. TRIPLE LOVE these! She used Memento ink and one of three different papers...LOL! I colored the image with Copic markers and added some stickles to her hat and hand warming muff. SU CS, Basic Grey PP, white gel pen, Cuttlebug, Nestabilities, Perfect layers tool, Cuttlebug embossing folder, Scor-Pal.

(And let us all pretend like I stamped the word Merry straight, okay? Let us pretend that it isn't crooked as can be, okay? LOL!)

Thanks for stopping by!

What a RAK!

*snicker*

Wow! I am just blown away by the generosity of people! Seriously! Kelly Schelske really spoiled me to bits and pieces with this RAK! OMW, y'all! Look at this fabulosity! (not the bad photographs of it...the stuff!) Look at that stack of FABOOOOO stamped images. Each one is just fantastic and I'm gonna have so much fun playing with it! And check that cute as a button card! AHH! Fantastic!

Thank you soo much Kelly! And thanks for always coming by and giving me such kind words in my comments. You're a gem for sure!

Okay, off to my craft-sty to oogle my new goodies. :D Okay and maybe play a bit with things, too. hehe

RAK!

My favoritest (and dare I say oldest...LOL!) friend Mary Dawn from MyPinkMexico sent me a whole box of goodies today...including some stamped images of Lily from Rachelle Anne Miller! I'm so excited to be able to play with her because they are such cute stamps. :) She also sent me that cool ribbon...WHICH is not really that color in person. I swear to you. It is bright...and it is pink...but hooboy does my camera hate it!

Anyway...OH! I should mention that the paper that I used? I bought several sheets for her at Michael's because it is her most favorite pattern ever and oops, I used a piece. LOL!

And can we pretend that I didn't accidentally over-crop the photo at the top? That'd be great. hehe!

Thanks for stopping by today!

Anna Griffin patterned paper, Stampin' Up yellow CS, Georgia Pacific Cardstock, Staz-On ink, Koh-I-Noor and Prisma pencils and OMS, vintage ribbon, Cuttlebug, Nestabilities, Hero Arts flowers, Stickles, Heidi Swapp pink brad, Making Memories Rhinestone brad, SU! punch and probably other things that I have forgotten were all used in the making of this card. :D

More with the Cosmo Cricket

Oh my y'all. I could eat this paper up with a spoon! It is so sweet and fabulous! LOL! I can see that they'll be a favorite company that I go to again and again. :)

Today's card was made for the sketch challenge SC170 on SCS.

I used again, some Cosmo Cricket paper that was RAK'd to me from Mary Dawn.

The stamp I used was my latest $1 Studio G stamp from Michael's. Does anyone else just adore these little $1 stamps like I do? I mean, for a buck! Eee! Fabulous!

I used my Cuttlebug and my Nestabilities and my Cuttlebug die Tiny Tags. I just love how this turned out, y'all! Maybe it is the fabulous paper or something?? I can't wait to get my hands on some more (I still have more that she sent! but I neeeeeeeeeed more of it! Different patterns and stuff. hehe!)

There has been much talk between Mary Dawn and me about finding some good quality solid cardstock and as much as it pains me to say, I am going to be ordering from Stampin Up! because they have the best colors and the best quality of paper. Now, I'm not a Stampin' Up hater or anything, but I don't really like their stamps, they aren't my style. And I just don't want to get involved with someone who is going to bug me about going to workshops and stuff...that just isn't my thing. But the lady that I have been emailing seems like a nice lady who isn't too pushy so I'll be placing an order in the next few days! Oh yeah, and I'm gonna be getting some punches and uhm, other stuff. So far my tally of the things I want is well over $175. LOL But I should be pretty well set for solid cardstock and some other various wants for a while. :)

Thanks for stopping by today!
