Wow! My very own designer paper! LOL! I love this page. It's very easy to make. I used 81/2 X 11 Whisper White cardstock and stamped with black ink all around the page. Let dry. Used my ink pads to color it. Sponged the page with bashful blue. I cut out flowers (from scrap) and used pop-up and placed on the layer. Ink: Riding Hood Red, Kiwi Kiss, basic brown and bashful blue.






I purchased this frame from the dollar store. Stamped flowers with basic black and color with SU crayons and blenders. Isn't it cute? :o)

Mr. Rooster's House

Hi Everyone,

Don't you just love this little fellow? Mr. Rooster loves his new house. It was painted with acrylic paints, but stamped with SU ink.

This is the recipe -

Stamp set: Rustic Rooster
Ink: Black, Riding Hood Red
Ribbon: Riding Hood Red grosgrain 5/8 striped
Misc: Watercolor pencils, birdhouse

Altered Cigar Box

Hi Everyone,

Today's posting is an altered cigar box. I mod podged the box with Delicate Dots DSP. I did leave some of the original covering because it coordinates well with the ribbon and flowers. I love how it turned out. Let me know what you think!

Faux Silk Rooster Card

Okay, last card for tonight :o) This was made with one of my favorite stamp set - Rustic Rooster (hostess - level 2). I used the Faux Silk technique and added Dazzling Diamonds glitter with it. It looks great in person. You can't really see the glitter effect on the photo. Try it! It's fun. Click here for tutorial.

Cardstock: Riding Red Hood, Vanilla

Mother's Day Card

Hi Everyone,

This is my Mother's Day card for my mommy. Don't worry she doesn't view my blog ;o) I finally used my Manhattan Flower impression die. Yippee! I'm sure you have seen many similar cards using this die. Well, this is my version. I traced the embossed part with a white gel pen to enhance it a little more. The butterfly was made with the SU Beautiful Butterflies die cut in Bella Rose DSP. Isn't it pretty?! The sentiment is from the Oval All stamp set, and punched with the Scallop oval punch and the large oval punch.

Please contact me with any questions. Thanks for stopping by. Chao!
