I Found some CUTE new stamps!!

It's a beautiful day here in Charlotte, North Carolina! There is actually sunshine, and it isn't freezing. Even better, I have some new stamps to play with, and I have been having fun with these little cuties! This adorable set of clear stamps is called Fairy Tots by Clear Magic Stamps for WoodwareUSA. Peggy, who owns a local stamp/scrapbook store, had this little set the other night, and I snagged it! I didn't even hesitate! The crazy thing is...the address for Woodware USA is in Charlotte, NC. How did I not know about these little cuties? Luckily, Peggy is going to carry them in her store, Southern Scrapbooks, so I can feed my latest addiction.

I have done this card for a few challenges:

Paper Sundaes #5 - a glittery spring
Copic Colour Challenge #52 - C3, R11, G21
Belli Challenge #85 - butterflies and/or dragonflies

More from the Weekend Crew Challenge

These two cards are a continuation from Friday's post using the Stampin' Up set, Natural Beauty! The set includes 6 stamps, and with the 4 cards, I was able to use all of the stamps in the set.

Our Weekend Crew challenge this week was to create cards using the same stamp or stamp set and see how different they can be! The top card was a little more labor-intensive because of the cutting, but I find cutting relaxing, so it wasn't a big deal! I had forgotten how much I love this little retired set.

The top card is also for this week's Copic Colour Challenge #51 (which is to use RV23, R29, and B12). I always love it when I have all of the marker colors to be able to participate!! My collection is growing steadily!

Love is in the Chocolates!

I don't know about you, but chocolate is my best friend and my worst enemy at times. However, I love it nonetheless. If I receive a box of chocolates, I have to scope out the caramel ones first. The last ones to be eaten are the cordial cherry ones...YUCK!! In fact, they will get eaten by someone else!

This Magnolia card is another one made from the images that I colored last weekend. It's fun to have an image already to go when you sit down to put a card together. Being that I seem to have more paper than a well-stocked scrapbook store, there is no worries about finding some to "match"! I did, however, use scraps from the Sweet Talk line from K&Company. It's a use your scraps weekend, so dig them out and use them!

Roses on Paper #30 - sketch

A Whiff, A Copic, and a Stamp for the Weekend!!

Happy Thursday evening, y'all!! Methinks you have been seeing a lot of me lately! I guess that my crafty side has been rejuvenated. I can't seem to tear myself away from the craft room, and I have been doing challenges like a crazy woman. They really do tap into things in both my brain and my craft room that I forgot were there!!


The card today is actually for three challenges:

Copic Colour Challenge #48 - G21, B45, R85
Whiff of Joy Challenge #63 - a Whiff of Joy stamp and 3 patterned papers, 2 blings, and 1 flower
Stampin' For the Weekend Fiona's Sketch (seen below)

I actually used a paper pack that I had picked up at Tuesday Morning to do this sketch! Sometimes, I just love those huge packs with all of the coordinating papers, and they seemed to complement the Copics that I used. The best part was that it was a smokin' deal!! That is even better. However, my craft room seems to be filled with smokin' deals...they add up after a while (bows head in shame).

Card Details:

Stamps: Melinda Blowing Kisses by Whiff of Joy
Paper: atd Serendipity (not sure of manufacturer); Chocolate Chip by Stampin' Up
Ink: Memento Tuxedo Black
