Blog Candy

Okay everyone, to get some more traffic to my sad little blog I am offering some blog candy for the month of June. I am looking for your best ideas for adoption announcements using a ladybug theme. I will be posting the picture of the blog candy before the beginning of the month. Please email your ideas to: damita98@mts.net or if you use hotmail: bringmaylinhome@hotmail.com

Thanks and start your creative engines!

Simply Said

This card uses the stamp said "Simply Said" from Stampin' Up. I had a bit of a hard time deciding what to do with this particular stamp so I am not sure I love this card or not. Anyways, here it is. Green background is embossed using my Cuttlebug. I inked the edges of the image and sentiment. Flowers are coloured in with my Sparklin H2O's to give them a little shimmer. All tied together with some grosgrain ribbon, enjoy!

See D's Mother's Day Cards

Since Mother's Day is coming up I decided to use some different colours to make some cards. The two cards shown here are similar just different ribbon and images. Papers used are from a Club Stamp kit. I used a Cuttlebug embossing folder for the purple/blue backgrounds. The images are from See D's stamp set and the ribbon is generic grosgrain. I used my Twinkling H2O's to colour in the flowers and it gives them a nice little sparkle. All put together with my favourite adhesive Mono adhesive by Tombow. Hope you enjoy and have a blessed Mothers' Day.

See D's

I used one of the See D's sets I have had forever for this card. Used a pretty tulips bouquet, doesn't it scream spring? I am waiting to see the tulips along my walking route bloom, I always look forward to seeing them. Supplies used for this card are: Club Stamp card/cardstock, Bazzill cardstock, Versamark Ink, SU ink (will add names when I remember them)See D's stamps, Mono adhesive, Queen and Company felt flowers, Doodlebug jewel, fabric and of course a stamp from the "Simply Said" set from SU. (will updated more when I get home)

Love Ya Bunches

I had some cards left over from a Club Stamp kit so I thought I better put them to use, the magenta colored paper matched the Purely Pomegranate ink pad perfectly so I used that ink to stamp the image. I then colored it in with my watercolor pencils and layered it on a scrap of blue cardstock. Finished it off with a piece of ribbon that matches the cardstock and voila! Not too bad I would say eh? heheheh I also forgot that I used Fresh Fillers from SU with Versamark Ink for the background on the card.

Ladybug Adoption Challenge

I am looking for designers to send me their designs for an adoption notice. It must be for a chinese baby girl and must incorporate a ladybug theme. This challenge is open until the end of May. All entried received will be entered to receive some blog candy, picture of candy will be posted by the end of the month. Please snail mail or email the cards to me with a supply list so that I will be able to re-create them. Design should be easy to reproduce for approximately 50 cards.

Very Punny

I made this card for a co-worker that is going through a hard time, thought it turned out okay.

Finally made a card

Here is a card that I finally came up with after a short hibernation. I used the Artfully Asian and Winged Things sets from Stampin' Up. I used Earth Element colours and think it looks pretty good. I used the French Script SU background stamp and the Artfully Asian and embossed it in Silver Lame. I added quite a few layers of paper to use more colour.
