Market Street Stamps Sketch Challenge

Good morning and a Happy Saturday to all of you!  Here is a card I made for Market Street Stamps Sketch Challenge.  I used Too Many Martinis and Hippie Chic to make this fun and simple card.  I stamped the background using 2 colors of ink, Memento Bahama Blue and Lady Bug.  I used the same ink to stamp the focal image.  I use SU real red marker to color behind the word love to make it stand out. You should check out the challenge for your chance to win the Follow Your Heart stamp set.  You can find all the details here, but you must hurry.  Deadline is Monday at midnight.  Thanks for having a look!

Hugs and smiles,
Janice

A Royal Wedding Blog Hop

Good morning friends!  Thank you to Heidi for arranging this fun hop!  I can't wait to see what everyone has created.  If you have arrived here from Lorie's blog you are in the right place.  If not you will want to start at the beginning, Heidi's blog.

I used Paper Doll Dress Up cartridge to cut the bride and groom.  I used my Gypsy to hide the contour of the  face so I could use adorable Peachy Keen  faces instead.  I used Copics to color them and added some small pearl embellishments to Kate's hair and dress.  I used Smooch pearlized accent ink on her dress.  Thanks for stopping by and enjoy the rest of the hop!

Here is the line-up for the hop in case you get lost.

Spring Has Sprung

The weather was gorgeous yesterday, Easter Sunday!  I do believe Spring has finally arrived, although today is grey and misty.  The weather sure has been up and down all over.  Today's card features the Garden Pot Bunny, by Cottage Cutz.  I hope you will check out the store and make a wish list, cause when you see what's new and coming, if you are like me, you're going to want them all!  Thanks for having a look!  Have a wonderful day!

Hugs and smiles,Janice
I apologize.  I didn't check Nikki's post yesterday, until now.  We used the same die, and her card is so much cuter than mine.  Lesson learned, always remember to check the blog.  I will try to make a different card and get it posted as soon as possible.

Here is another card.  I used Bird's Nest and Cat dies,  Hope you like.  Enjoy the rest of your day!

Here is my card.  I was trying to achieve the look of cloisonne, and I think I was successful, somewhat anyway.  I had a lot of fun making this card.  I colored the white silk flowers with my copics.  I stamped the flowers from the Easter Patch Set, PK-286, with Versamark and heat embossed with Ranger's superfine detail gold embossing powder.  Then colored with my copics, of course.  The sentiment is from Stampin Up.

Thanks for stopping by.  Your visits are always appreciated!  Be sure and check out what my Peachy Sisters have designed and my friend Kristal, at Getting Cricky With K. Andrew.  She is guest designer for this week, and I just love the card she made for today's post.

Market Street Stamps Color Cue Challenge

2 posts in one day.  Don't faint.  Here is the card I made for the Market Street Stamps Color Cue Challenge.  I used one of my favorite background stamps for my card.  Before inking my stamp I made a baby wipe ink pad.
I use 3 Stampin Up re-inkers.  Turquoise, marigold morning, and pink passion..  I squeezed the ink onto the baby wipes in rows.  I inked up Here Comes The Sun background stamp and stamped it onto Papertrey Ink 110 pound white cardstock.  I added some rick rack and black lines to accent the sun's rays.  My flower has a tie dye look to it.  I used SU white silk flowers and pressed the petals to the various colors on the baby wipe ink pad.  I used Loopy Loo Polkas behind the sentiment which is from the set Ain't No Sunshine.  Thanks for stopping by.

Hugs and smiles,
Janice

Happy Monday to all of you!

Hello friends!  For today's card I used this adorable Teacup Mouse die.  I used white cardstock to cut the images, and colored them with copics.  I used a Stampin Up embossing folder for the tulip frame and a Cuttlebug embossing folder for the circle.  Rick rack and ribbon was used to finish the card.  Enjoy your week everyone!
Hugs and smile,

Janice

Spring Bonnet Chick

Good morning friends!  I have a really cute die to showcase today.  I love this adorable Spring Bonnet Chick!  I also used the Filigree Egg.  I used Bazzill cardstock to cut the pieces.  I used yellow cardstock to cut the chick and copics to add some shading.  After cutting the egg I put it on a piece of white adhesive paper with the sticky part facing up.  I sprinkled it with glitter.  It looks much nicer than what I was able to capture in the photo.  The sentiment is from a Stampin Up set called Well Scripted.  I hope you  browse around the Scrapping Cottage store.  There are so many adorable dies including some new Peachy Keen dies available for pre-order.  Enjoy your day!
Hugs and smiles,Janice

Peachy Keen Chipboard Album

Hello everyone!

Did you know that Peachy Keen Stamps sells chipboard albums?  They sell lots of fun supplies!  I have made a mini football album using the football chipboard album here.  Being raised in Green Bay I had to use the Peachy Keen Cheesehead stamps to decorate my pages.

I had a lot of fun making this!  I love the images!  I used PK - 700 Packer Tickets.  Isn't she a cutie?  I also used PK- 350 Colby and Jack Cheese Set.  I just love those mice.  That adorable cheesehead tag  I have had for years.  It is retired but you never know, it may come out of retirement someday. ;)
I used PK-09 Cheesy Packer Fans and PK-025 Go Pack Go Snowman and PK-224 Mouse Gets The Cheese and PK-852 Bottoms Up Snowman.  I used various stamps from these sets to complete the album.

The tickets were made with EK-30089 Photo Labels Punch and stamps from PK-09 Cheesy Packer Fans.

I hope you like the album.  Check out the supplies at the PKS store and see what you can't live without! ;)
Thanks for having a look!  Happy Friday to all of you and have a great weekend!

Hugs and smiles,
Janice
