The sparkle is from glitter glue.  The shimmer is created

with gold heat embossing and wink of stella pen in gold. 

I layered the base on a piece of gold glitter paper. 

(P.S. It's really hard to get a good photo when there

is this much sparkle going on.)

Simon Says Stamp who has offered a 

super generous Sketch Challenge Prize of

I used a couple of the fun images and a sentiment

from the Simon Says Stamp exclusive set 

called "Choose Happy - Reason to Smile"

on my DT card this time - take a look:

Aren't those little coffee mugs adorable?! 

I know coffee makes me smile every day :o) 

I have three favorite mugs that I like to rotate

Kraftin' Kimmie Stamps - June NEW Release DAY THREE Peek {Floatin' Fiona}

Whoo Hoo it's DAY THREE of the 

NEW release peeks at 

KRAFTIN' KIMMIE!

A couple of months ago there was a Surprise Krafty Guest Kit
available for a couple of weeks as a preorder and the kit
included a never before seen NEW clear stamp set.
The ladies who were lucky enough to get one of the kits have been
invited to join us as Suprise Krafty Guests for June!

The fabulous new stamp set that we are all previewing today
 is called FLOATIN' FIONA!
This gal is relaxing at the beach and waiting for her cabana boy!

This 4x4 clear stamp set comes with the fun main image
PLUS five fun coordinating sentiments!
Super FUN I think!

I used the papers, washi tape and enamel dots from the
Krafty Kit on my card today with Floatin' Fiona.

So I have to tattle on myself.  I had colored everything
so beautifully, but then decided that I didn't like how I
did her eyes so I was going to "fix" it but ended up with
a big nasty blob where her eye was supposed to be.
I was ready to burst into tears but then remembered
I had these little sticker sunglasses (Jolees) and by
some miracle they fit her. Whew!!

I'd like to enter my card in the following challenges:

Addicted to Stamps and More #197 - Make Your Mark

Humor Me Wednesday - National Leave the Office Early Day June 6th - Catch The Bug Challenges

Happy Wednesday friends!
Wednesday is FUN at
CATCH THE BUG CHALLENGES
because the Bugaboo DT get to share
creations using some of the terrific
digital images from Bugaboo Stamps
to showcase an interesting, different or
silly holiday that many people probably
don't know exist aside from the other
"normal" holidays we celebrate.

For example did you know that June 6th
was National Leave Work Early day?
Now that's a holiday I can certainly embrace
celebrating. How about you?

My card today uses the hilarious Stella
who definitely embraces this holiday.  In fact
she might just celebrate it more often than it
comes around - LOL.  This digital image is called
Stella work - take that chance. 

I'd like to enter this card in the following challenges:

Craft Your Passion Challenges #315 - Anything Goes

Crafty Hazelnut's Patterned Paper Challenges - June - anything goes

If you missed the holiday yesterday maybe you can take 

advantage of it today :o)

you did!! Til next time...hugs! D

Catch the Bug Challenges - June Anything Goes

Hello friends and followers!
Wow! How is it even possible that it's the first

weekend of June?  Seriously it just floors me!

Sometimes I have to giggle at myself because I hear

my grandma's voice coming out of my mouth 

as I talk about how fast time flies - but it really

does seem to lately :o)  And...she was a really
sweet and wonderful lady so I don't mind
sounding like her at all!

So...it's time for another weekly challenge
at CATCH THE BUG CHALLENGES
and the theme is ANYTHING GOES.

I made a tall and skinny card (3.75" x 6 1/2")
using cupcake tray (colored w/copics)

To make this card size you need a cardstock base 

sized 6 1/2 " x 7 1/2" and score at 3 3/4" on the longest side.

The layout is based on the current sketch  

 at MOJO Monday 450 

I'd also like to enter these challenges:

Addicted to Stamps and More #196 - Anything Goes

Penny's Paper-Crafty Challenges #280 - Anything Goes

(Sponsored by Bugaboo Stamps)

I hope you find some time to get crafty this weekend and
play along with us at Catch the Bug Challenges.
Thanks so much for popping in today.
Til next time...hugs and happy crafting! D

Sketch Saturday #415 {A Day for Daisies Sponsor}

Happy Saturday!
Do you have any plans for the weekend?
It's supposed to be really warm here 
and I'm happy about that :o)
I can't wait to be outside to soak up some sun!

It's time for another weekly sketch challenge 
at SKETCH SATURDAY!

 A Day For Daisies is back this week

to sponsor Challenge #415! 

The prize this week:
$12 A Day for Daisies gift certificate.

Here is sketch #415:

My card features a previous freebie from A Day for Daisies

This sweet little mermaid image is colored with

copic markers.   I'm loving the pretty color combo!

Do you like it too? This wonderful patterned paper

(from Echo Park) was just sitting in my stash waiting for me 

to use it.  I was excited to find it because it seemed so perfect

 for this image.  The strip of glitter ribbon is from 

Close to My Heart, and the sparkly gems were a $1 purchase

at my local craft store. There's a whole sheet of lots of

pretty sparkly colors.  That makes me happy!   

The sentiment is from one of the newest 

clear mermaid stamp sets at Kraftin' Kimmie

called Treena Twinkles.  

I'd like to enter this in the following challenges:
