I didn't go anywhere! I just haven't posted in foreva! But that doesn't mean I haven't been doing something w/ my life! I'm going to be posting A LOT on this post so hold on to your britches and roll w/me!
These are my calendar pags I made for the Bella Calendar Swap! It was so much fun! I used all Bazzill papers except for the K&Co. Berry Sweet Glitter DP! I used my Cricut to cut out the hearts and for the lettering. I have to say. My Cricut and I are getting extremely close!
This is what came in the mail for me the other day! It is from my Bella Sistah,
LeAnne! Isn't she amazing!
This is the card I made for the SBS #21 Weekly Challenge! The challenge was paper piecing. I used the MFT Rain or Shine Stamp Set and paper pieced her raincoat! I used CTMH Sweet Pea DP along with Bamboo, Amethyst, Key Lime, and Sunkiss Yellow CS! The ribbon is from Pebbles Inc. and the image is stamped in CTMH Archival Black.
Here is the card I did for the Bella Sketch Challenge #45. I used Imeldabella and colored her w/copics! Yes! I finally broke down and bought some! The sentiment is from the Billboardabella set. I used the Magic Moments B&T and Hollyhock CS for the base.
Speaking of copics.........
Here they are! This is my first set! I have to say...I don't really know how to use them that well, but they do work great! I decided to lay low on some of my stamp ordering and once a month I am going to order around $50 in Copics! That way, I can get my collection going and start doing more things (i.e.shading) with them! So if you have any copic advice for me I would {heart} it..and you, of course!
Yay for me! I FINALLY finished these pages! I have been so hooked on stamping that I haven't done any scrapbooking! I finally decided I needed to finish this.....I started probably 2 months ago! Teehee! So for these pages I used the Rough and Tumble Paper Packet along with some Sunny Yellow and Clover Meadow CS. I used my Cricut to cut all the lettering out and I used a little rub-on that
Jena gave me in the middle. I think that was a mistake, but there's not too much I can do about it now. Oh! I forgot my journaling! I guess I am not done with it! :D
Ok...now for some stuff I am SUPER excited about! Recently, I started browsing (and shopping :D) at
Unity Stamp Co.! I bought 2 sets from Unity a couple of months ago...and haven't touched them! Well....I was looking around on their website and realized that there's A LOT of things that I like! So I bought a few and went on my merry way! While I was looking around on SCS one day, I saw that Unity has a Wednesday Challenge. I decided that this would be fun to do. So here is my Unity Challenge Wednesday card.
The challenge was to use pink and black. As you can see, I did this card a bit differently. I used the Grow Stamp Kit and I put my sentiment on the outside and my image on the inside. I used Black CS for my base and ran it through my Cuttlebug, using the Swiss Dots Embossing Folder. For the "background" I used a piece of Pink Carnation CS and layered a piece of Black CS in the middle, then ran that through my Cuttlebug as well. On the inside I stamped the image on Pink Carnation CS and adhered (word?) it to the top of the inside(?) Both images are stamped in Archival Black.....which reminds me...I need to get Brilliance Graphite Black for when I really start using my Copics!
I got some great feedback from all the Unity peeps! Which sends me to my next story! I've always read on some people's blogs about HIP-HOP THURSDAY. Well...I never really knew what anybody was talking about, so I decided to see what it was like! So, yesterday, I spent pretty much my whole day on the computer talking to all the great Unity people. I have to say...I am now ADDICTED! I had so much fun! Angela is running such a PHENOMENAL business! She was there, her DT was there, her HUSBAND was there! There was a blog hop, prizes were given away, challenges were done! There was so much going on! So all the details are HERE! You really need to check it out if you haven't! So that brings me to my final card. This challenge was to make a card inspired by the Unity tag.
My card Unity tag
So for my card I used Breeze CS and Chocolate Chip CS. I used the Creating Yourself Single and colored it with Chocolate Chip ink then stamped it on Papertrey Ink White CS. I used my small slot punch and ran Pebbles Inc. ribbon through. So the card is pretty simple, but I think it works!
So that is all for right now! I'm sorry I've been such a bad blogger. I always think I am going to slow down and just when I say that, my life picks up again!
I also wanted to say that all the Ike vics are in my thoughts and prayers. I hope everything came out as good as can be expected!
Stay tuned! I am going to try to post everyday, so it doens't take me 500 hours to do one post!
~Peace, Love, and Happy Stamping! :D

This is the last patterned ribbon I used. I also used the Swiss Dots Embossing Folder with my Cuttlebug and I distressed the edges of everything with my distressing tool and wha-la! There it is!
