Ears to you!!

I have seen this set done in color and they look great, but I just think of chocolate bunnies when I see it, what about you? Do you see chocolate or do you see color?

I tried a little spring colors, but they just don't feel as good to me as the chocolate bunnies. I also tried a little mix of dark chocolate and milk chocolate and white chocolate, but I just couldn't get the white chocolate to come out... So.... I went with some caramel instead and I actually think this is my favorite of the three... what do you think?

Samples for my first workshop

My first workshop is coming up at the end of the month and I have been laboring away at samples, make and takes and the like. Pinterest has been a life savor at inspiring me! Just a few samples for our make and take station, I am so excited.... If one of these is your design, please let me know so I can give you credit, all of you inspire me so much!

We are working with the Delightful Dozen set and I am trying to show several techniques. I am so excited, which one do you like?

A couple Valentines Cards to Share

All of my time has not been spent on Christmas Cards, during this week off, I got a lot done, organizing my Craft Room, to be more SU friendly (moving all my SU stuff close at hand, reorganizing all of my retired sets from the last time I was an SU demo and of course I have come up with about 100 project ideas, if only I didn't have to work to pay for my Stampin Up hobby and my scuba diving hobby ;)
Anywho, I do have a couple of Valentines cards to share with you tonight before I hit the sack, dreaming of stampin up projects I can do and staying awake because I dont have a enough time in the world to get it all done!

I like the way the malt card came out, I used velum and Sparkly red paper and embossed the topping, I always get carried away with distressing ink though, don't ya think? Both cards are real cards, that fit into a standard A2 envelope.

The lips card came from an idea I saw on interest (boy do I waste a lot of time there) The paper was one of my retired reds and I kept working it with copic markers trying to make it look more realistic, and I added some red dazzling details to make them shiny. I was trying to keep the center of the lips a little lighter, to look like the lips were parted in a smile, but I eventually gave up and went to bed, lol, A little more black distress ink of course, a little too much, I just love to distress my cards and never know when to stop and the worst part is my inky fingers, while I love getting inky, I have got to remember to wipe them up a little before I move on to the next color.

What do you think? What would you have done to make the lips look a little better?

My Sketch World DT app

Greetings, I decided I would like to try and get on a design team or two and just happened to have a DT announcement in my inbox this week, So, I whipped up a couple cards based on sketches in the past hour and submitted my application. Wish me luck! Leave me some comments wishing me luck and I will have a great little bit of blog candy for you, which will be a cute little Happy Hello, Simply Sent kit from the new Sale A Bration Catty from Stampin Up.

This kit includes everything you need for creating a great little cards. As a bonus, If I get selected for the DT, I will add a free little sentiment, so be sure to wish me luck!

While we are on the subject of Sale A Bration, for every $50 you spend during the Sale A Bration period, you can get a free item from the Sale A Bration Catty, this is just one of the free items you can select.

Sale A Bration starts Jan 22 and ends Mar 24, that is a lot of time to gather all the goodies in this great little catty.

Plus, if you join SU as a demonstrator during Sale a bration, you get 25% more in your starter kit, what a great way to start!



But I digress, Back to my DT application. Unfortunately, I am in the middle of several projects right now and I wanted to hurry and get my application in, so I whipped up 4 cards super fast (literally within the hour)

So, I put in my application with My Sketch World and you can find all the sketches here and finally, using scraps from the projects I have been working on and the scraps in my scrap bin, I whipped up these 4 little cards.
