Happy Birthday!

Modern Sugar Blvd is releasing a few new images tomorrow! Here is a card I created using the new Candle Mama.

She is colored with Prismas/baby oil and I'll scent her with some Caramel Apple card scents before I send her off!

Several of the other sugars have sneak peeks to share as well - swing by and see what they've created!

Flutter By Wednesday: A Re-Visit

Uhm. Last week I was a little confused on what our challenge was at the Flutter By Wednesday - we were supposed to use pink and brown. And the scene card was THIS week's challenge.

All the girls on that team are super, let me tell ya! Heather let me know that my card would be just as enjoyable the second time around and Michelle even pointed out that I did have pink and brown on my card too!

All's well that ends well - right?

Be sure to visit the rest of the Flutter By team to see their creations - links in my sidebar!

A Flutter By Wednesday Scene

It's Wednesday and time for another Flutter By Wednesday challenge! Our featured team member this week is my good friend Heather from Heather's Heavenly Stamptations. She challenged us to create a scene this week, being sure to off course include a butterfly or a fairy. I think she also challenged us to not use patterned paper --- but I didn't recall that until after my tree was made. Sorry Heather!

Heather is so, SO good at creating scenes with her stamps. This is definitely not something I do and so I thought it was a great challenge and really excited about it. I used the Twinkle Butterfly image from Modern Sugar Blvd and when I was thinking of this project I thought I would use several of the sleeping butterflies to create my scene. But when I sat down last night to create my card, I had a tree pop into my head and decided to go that route instead!

Thanks for stopping by to see my creations today! I also have my Cuttlebug Be Inspired card up this morning so be sure to scroll down to see it!!

Stop by the rest of the Flutter By team to check out their lovely scenes and leave them a bit of love!

Sugarlicious Saturday: Galoshes & More


Hi girls!! It's Saturday and that means it's time for another sweet challenge with Modern Sugar Blvd! Not only is it a new challenge, but it's big release day too! There are several new images available in the store today - available at 1 pm MST! Be sure to visit the rest of the Sugars to see all the new digi images available to you (links below). You can be stamping with them within minutes! That's the beauty of digi stamps - no waiting on the mail!!
Today's challenge card uses a new image that is available today. We were just asked to use this image and create anything we wanted! These galoshes are super cute don't you think? It doesn't really rain enough in the Texas Panhandle to justify spending money on the cute galoshes that are out there. But how my heart sings when I see a really cute pair! Having a stamp image to play with fun and affordable!

I used the sketch from last week's card because I just really love it! It's a new favorite and will be one of my "go-to" layouts from now on. I used up some more of the DCWV scraps out on my desk and colored my image with my prismas/baby oil. The oddest thing happened as I was cutting/embossing this with my nesties. I had a slight red flower impression appear right next to the one that is supposed to be there. Now, I'm just lazy enough to not want to have to color again.....so I just popped a little butterfly on there and called it good! So now that fulfills my FlutterBy Wednesday card too! Oh wait - not quite - there's no brads or eyelets.
That's it for me - stay tuned as I have several more MSB cards to share with you using brand new images - swing by the store to check them out! And of course, my FlutterBy card - one that actually follows the directions!! LOL!!
We'd love to have you join in this week! Just create any kind of project you want using a Modern Sugar Blvd image. Leave a link over at the MSB blog so we can all check it out!
Have a beautiful day! I'll see you around here soon!

MSB: Sweet Sugary Saturday

Are you having a terrific Saturday? I'm so happy to get to share with you my full card for this week's Modern Sugar Blvd challenge! It seems like everyone loves cupcakes and this one is just fun and whimsical! It's a new release. Be sure to visit the blog because there is a NEW PRODUCT available in the store that will have you taking a deep breath and sighing with pure bliss!

We were asked to stick to the colors pink, brown and vanilla (perfect cupcake colors, huh?) and Valerie designed another terrific sketch for this week too! I had some of that great SU paper out on my desk still so I picked out one that was ALL pinks and paired it with chocolate chip and that luscious pomegranate ribbon from before! (why do in colors retire? particulary the ones that i adore??)


My cupcake was watercolored and the candles are even sparkly with stickles! Here's a close-up so you can see this cupcake! Be sure to visit the rest of the Sugars and see their take with this challenge. Even though we have the same colors and sketch, the cards are all very unique!!


Have a sweet day! Thanks for stopping by! I know there is tons to see out there and I'm honored you take a minute to see me! Have a beautiful day!

Twinkling Tuesday: hello?

Happy Twinkling Tuesday everyone! This week Jack had another doozy of a sketch for us!

I spent some time on the phone with Heather today and every so often we'd be like "hello? are you there?" Thinking of talking with her made me pull out this new image from Modern Sugar Blvd to use for today's card.

A closeup of Text Ya Later, from a new line of images at MSB called "I Love To". I can already tell that this line will be a favorite of mine - I think her face is drawn so pretty and she's a lot of fun to color! I can't wait to paper piece her too! You can see more cards using her and the other new gal at the MSB Blog.

That's all for me! Be sure to visit the rest of the Twinklettes to see their take on Jack's sketch this week! Debbie is the featured stamper so be sure to visit the blog and leave her some love!

Modern Sugar: Just a Girl

Hi girls!! I know, it's Saturday and I have a post for you! It's the first of many to come. Weekends have been pretty quiet around the blog lately but that all changes now!

On Saturdays, Modern Sugar Blvd will be hosting a challenge so I'll have those to share with you!

This week Valerie created a sketch for us to use and we were also asked to use the colors: hot pink, turquoise and lime green. I love bright bold colors even though I don't typically use them very much.
This cutie is a new image that will be released very soon! Stop by the Modern Sugar Blvd blog for the challenge. The rest of the Sugars have created a card too using the sketch, colors and this doodle girl. I've been able to peek at them and there are wonderful creations!! Be sure to visit their blogs too and see their use of the sketch and colors. Even though we all used the same prompt, they look very different!

Have a beautiful day! I'll have another treat for you tomorrow as it's Banana Split Sunday! See you then!!

P.S. MSB just released a new line of modern mommas - just in time for mother's day!

White Chocolate Raspberry Cake

I'm so excited to finally be able to show you my full project using one of the new images from Modern Sugar Blvd!


This Cake Gal is such a fun image. I love that she has a retro feel to her. I printed the digi image onto white cardstock using a laser printer. She was colored with my prismacolor pencils and baby oil except for her skin which uses copics.

I picked up this yummy gourmet mix and knew that it would be a sweet gift for someone. I know many bloggers would probably completely cover the box, but I think it's pretty cute with it's pink polka dots already. So I just wanted to create a coordinating tag to attach to it.

Some embossing, some punching, some lace and a handful of pearls were used to create my tag.


And here is the finished project! I hope you enjoyed it!! Be sure to visit the Modern Sugar Blvd blog to get all the details on the week's celebration! Yep - a whole WEEK! And don't forget that the store will be opening at Noon MST tomorrow!

Buttercream or Whipped?

Good afternoon!! I have another sneak peek of a new image being offered by Modern Sugar Blvd! What is your favorite kind of icing on a cake? I love that whipped cream frosting. Buttercream is hit or miss for me. If it's fresh, it's great, but if it's been frozen - not so much!!

Can I get a Woot for Lolly who guessed she was either cooking, ironing or nurturing. Good job!! I can't wait to show ya'll the finished project I created using this image! It's going to post later this evening. Modern Sugar Blvd will officially open its doors on Monday at Noon Mountain time!

I wanted to say thanks to everyone who wished me well regarding my toe. I *might* have over exaggerated my injury. When hubby finally came home he said he didn't think it was broken. And after waking up this morning, I have to agree. It doesn't even really hurt anymore. But last night since it hurt to put weight on it I was convinced it was broken.
