Safari Friends

This is one of my Little C's stamps that I got- it is a High Hopes and I used the giraffe which is also a High Hopes. I stamped the hiker and then masked him to add the giraffes. I have to tell you, the color on here is not that good to me- but I had my hubby do some research for me to come up with the colors for the giraffe. Did you realize that giraffe's legs are actually much lighter than their bodies? You would not know from my card as I didn't really have a color to blend in so I was safe. The paper is Rusty Pickle Holiday Stripe (I know you are amazed that I even know that- but it helps when they put it clearly on the back of the paper!) My base is SU mustard and the image is matted on Hunter green. I used a little twine and some brads to finish it off. The twigs are from the MS punch.

Don't forget Little C's sale, it ends today. It is for 35% off with code BDay36.

Sweet NESS (and a sale!)

Okay, have you noticed a trend in my postings? yep, they all have sweet in them because I am just loving this BG bittersweet paper. I matched it up with a little BG textured cardstock on this card and it works well. The stamp set is Sweet Treats by CC Designs and this is the only set I own but love so many of those little guys. You can purchase CC designs at Little C's too and they are having a sale starting today and going through Saturday!! I colored this little cuddly teddy with my copics and of course he is eating sweet ice cream that I had to color pink. Oh man, I should have added a little liquid applique to make it 3D- I will go back and do that now! Geesh- you know, are you like me, I do the card and stare at it- then a bit later think, "Oh I should have done that!" I am always going and changing my cards.

Okay, gotta run, have a great day! Don't forget the wonderful sale over at Little C's either- 35% off today through Saturday! It is in celebration of Jen's birthday: the code is BDay36. Go and getcha something sweet!

Sweet Lips!

Hello! I am back from vacation and we had such a wonderful time- it is nice to be home but the weather is less than desirable. I can honestly say I am ready for spring- what about you ladies?

While I was in Florida I picked up these 2 cute little chapsticks, well actually they are not that small they are fat chapsticks. I thought they would be so cute to alter and give to some little girls. I used BG Bittersweet on the one with the ice cream and that image is from CC designs (Sweet Treats). The other one is some other BG paper but I don't have the pack anymore so I can not recall which one it is. The flowers on the chapstick are All Natural Accents from Little C's- I tell you that I am loving these little flowers. You just need to check them out- they are home to Hawaii! Thats why they are so vibrant and festive- plus I think they give off some warmth! LOL!

I also want to say thank you to a couple ladies- Nikki honored me with this wonderful award last week while I was gone and I love it.

I would like to share this award with a couple ladies, all of which I find daily inspiration (but not limited to these ladies by any means- that list would take me foreva!) Tammi, Cheryl, and Cindy

Akkina gave me this wonderful award to share: there are so many ladies I could give this to but I would like to share with all of YOU!

Thank you for stopping in today!

Sweetness..............

I know Valentine's Day is over but I could not go without posting this card that I made. I can honestly tell you that no one received this card because I made it just before going on vacation and I didn't have time to sell it. My boys would not appreciate a card like this. But then I got to thinking, it would not have to be for Valentine's Day only! So- I will still try and sell it.

This little Sarah Kay image, My Sweet Lili is just too darned cute, I colored her with my copics (just so yummy!). The paper is of course Basic Grey new line Bitter Sweet! I just had to use some of this paper because it is delicious. I used a couple of the SU ribbons, one is the rose grograin and the brown is one from their specialty packs but I think it was from last year or so because once again I was hoarding it girls! LOL. I used a pop dot to lift of Lili so she was a little off the page!

I hope you like her as much as I do!

Little C Sketch

Happy Tuesday all! I am in sunny Florida but I was able to get this Little C's sketch challenge completed before taking off and I like how it turned out. The sketch was to use red, white and blue which at first I thought would be difficult based on the stamps I had but then I thought "think outside of the box Heidi!" and this is what I came up with.
If you are like me you have all those wonderful cuttlebug folder hanging around and I have been wanting to use them more often, not just for the backgrounds but what about using them for the main focus? Well do you see one stamp on this card? NOPE. I used floral fantasy as the base and then swiss polka dots on the hearts. The flowers I got from Little C's and they are All Natural Accents. This would be a cute Valentine's Day card for a friend too! Come on over and see what the other ladies have done with the challenge!
Tata for now!
