Today starts a new challenge at Your Next Stamp.
The challenge: To use a charm on your project.
For my card I used Cupcake Cutie Fhiona and paired her with MME Stella & Rose papers and this time I used the Hazel Collection...and I love how it looks with Kraft paper! I colored Fhiona with copics and then added some subtle sparkle, pretty much everywhere, with a spica clear pen. I mentioned using a new hair color on my last post....well here it is again ;) I added a few pearls, some taffeta ribbon and a butterfly charm attached to my bow. The bow took me the longest to make, but there is a reason for that. I had my Bow Easy on my desk from the other day and when I went to use it I could not find it anywhere. After a lot of searching I was ready to give up and tie the bow myself, but decided to go through my new paper pads I had put away....well good thing I did because I finally found it sticking to the bottom of one of them where a sticker had been....
We'd love to have you join in this challenge and see how you incorporate a charm into your project. The challenge runs for two weeks, so stop by the Your Next Stamp Challenge blog for tons of inspiration from the Design Team and then again to link up your entry.

Today starts a new challenge at Your Next Stamp.
The challenge: To use at least one texture on your project.
For my card I used the special edition stamp ScrapFest Shopper Fhiona and colored her with copics ~ love how cute she is and she was so much fun to color! I paired her up with some of my new Lily Bee Picket Fence papers and I have to say a few of the newest copic colors match these papers beautifully.
The easiest way to add texture is by embossing, so each of my patterned papers has been embossed (I used 2 different folders). I also added some ribbon, flowers (which I colored with RV25), pearls and stickles to finish it off.

This month I have been asked back as a Guest Designer for Your Next Stamp. I am so happy to be working with this great company again~ thanks for inviting me back Karen!
Today I would like to share a card I made using Flower Bouquet Fhiona.
I loved the sketch at Mojo Monday this week, so I followed that and paired up Fhiona with some papers from the DCWV Citrus Stack (which, sad to say, I've had for quite some time and have just removed the stickers holding it closed...at least I know I'm in good company). Since I seem to always be in need of Birthday Cards, I decided to go that route with this card.
I'll be back next week with another Your Next Stamp creation for the new challenge, but in the mean time, you can still get in on the current challenge.
We have yet another busy week ahead for us....the DI State Tournament is next weekend, so in addition 4 more practices, we also have a 1st grade concert to attend, Family Night at the Book Fair a Middle School introductory event and then packing up the vehicles to take all the backgrounds/props/costumes to State...not one free night, but it's worth it!
I would like to enter this in the following challenges:
Mojo Monday - Sketch
Birthday Sundae's - Anything Goes Birthday
Catered Crop - I used the following from the recipe: Striped patterned paper, the colors red and yellow, stamping ink, bling (rhinestones and stickles), ribbon, scallops and circles
Really Reasonable Ribbon - RRR21 Dies/Punches & Ribbon

CCEE Stampers - No buttons, bows, brads or buckles
Catch the Bug - Anything Goes
CES Challenge - Children
ABC - R is for Ribbon
Papertake - Anything Goes
Thanks for stopping and have a wonderful day!
Your Next Stamp is having a DT call and since I had such a great time being a Guest Designer for them I decided to give it a shot. They asked us to post 3 of our favorite creations (which is always hard for me to do ~ an one of my absolute favorites I just posted recently, so I won't add that since it's on this page), so I chose a shaped card, a basket and an easel card I made and decided to pick both girl and boy creations:

Wish me luck!
