Paper Pretties Monday Whatnots - Tuesday Edition

It's Tuesday, and we have a new edition of the Paper Pretties Monday Whatnots!! There are two new images by ARTish for Paper Pretties today, and they are adorable. I had a little help today from my daughter! I was only going to do one card, and I chose this adorable turtle. Well, she decided that she would like to color in Hula-hooping Hector, and she made a card from it! It was all her...she even decided to use a different medium -- crayons! I am entering my card in the following challenges:

• Sketch Saturday #149


• Paper Sundaes #63 Spring Blossoms


• Stamp Something - April Digi Day


• Belli Challenge - old embellishments (brads and "flat" primas)

Here is my daughter's creation!

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!

This card is for the following challenges:

Roses on Paper #30 - sketch
Stampin' for the Weekend - Valentine's theme
Stamp Something - Love
Cute Card Thursday #98 - spots and dots
Copic Colour Challenge #50 - E18, E42, E77 (which I used on the box of chocolates)
Paper Sundaes #3 - Valentine's theme
Crazy 4 Challenges #23 (C4C23) - Valentine theme

Card Details:
Stamps: Tilda and box of chocolates by Magnolia

Ink: Memento Tuxedo Black
Accessories: Copic markers; adhesive ribbon by K&Co; flourish from Cricut Home Decor cart; Sweet Talk stickers by K&C0

I love Purple!

Purple is my favorite color, and when I saw the challenge on Stamp Something from this week that is sponsored by PMS, I knew I had to use purple! The challenge is black and white and another color. Then, what a perfect opportunity to ink up my PMS stamps. Lucky for me, the PMS blog had a fabulous sketch this week, and Madelynn's Twinkling Tuesdays had a challenge to use bling. A ha moment...combine them all! I feel like such a multi-tasker when I can do that! I wish I could multi-task in more areas of my life! This is rather funny about this image...I've done it in purple before, and I didn't realize it until after I had already finished it! This time, I used Shimmerz on her shoes...who doesn't love sparkly shoes? Unfortunately, it doesn't show up as well in the picture, but I can live with it!

I'm so excited about this weekend! My friend Dawn and I get to travel to Durham for Copic certification. I know I have mentioned it before, but I am just so excited not only for the class but also to get away for just a little while. I also think we will stop at the Archivers in Raleigh because it is the closest one, and I've only been once. Luckily, they are open later on Saturdays.
