Mojo-licious...Saturday

It's waaay late, but I got caught up in Veronica Mars. I only needed something to entertain me for like ten minutes while I put the last finishing touches on my card. But it sucks me in. I've missed Logan...Mac...and Veronica-ism. Curse you and your logical questions...

So anyway, I just got my TCP order. And talk about holy fast shipping, batman! I ordered it on like Tuesday and got it yesterday. That was the singular shiney, happy moment in my week from hell. I hadnt intended to ink it up right out of the box but what can I say Birthday Bunny just called to me. And don't you just l-o-v-e that sentiment???

It feels like forever since I participated in a Mojo Monday. But after I inked up my bunny and got him all colored up, the sketch just called to me. What's more to say?


The Dets:
Stamps: TCP Birthday Bunny
Paper: MB licorice notecard, Cosmo Cricket delovely
Ink: PTI fresh snow, Memento black, Copics, Spica glitter pen

Birthday - Avatar Style

Today is Happy Honey's Birthday! For those of you that dont know, he's very big into cartoons. And one of the bestest 'toons ever is Avatar. And no, I'm not talking that over-hyped movie with the giant blue men and the social conscience. The real Avatar, before Mr. Cameron ripped off the name, was a trilogy cartoon officially dubbed Avatar: the Last Airbender. We watched the entire series (three books, dozens of chapters) for three straight weekends. It was a very unproductive month. But sooo awesome. And for those of you wondering, the original cartoon series waaaayyy better than the live-action movie.

But enough of my soap-boxing.

Since this week's Club Anya Mania Monday theme was "morphing" I decided to make a Team Avatar birthday card using various stamps from the Greeting Farm. I used Amy's lightbox altering technique to trace over the stamped images, adding and taking away bits to make them more Avatar-style. I suppose technically this is more altering than morphing but I did use various stamps to most of the images. I used a combination of Hula Anya with Flutter Anya's eyes, but left them unfilled so I could color them blue like the "real" Katara's eyes.

I left the card relatively simple because the focus was really on Team Avatar. I think this is the most altering I've ever done. Craziness, but the boy totally digs it.

The Dets:

Stamps: TGF Edward, Skater Ian, Hula Anya, Flutter Anya, Ebony

Paper: DCWV latte mat stack

Ink: Memento, Copics

Accessories: Spellbinders labels nine, kaiser pearls, black eyelets

Happy Anniversary TGF!

***For my Verve Anniversary Hop post, please click HERE or scroll down. Thanks!***


Welcome to the Greeting Farm's Second Anniversary Blog Hop! This is my first ever TGF blog hop and I'm totally stoked to be a part of it. If you haven't started at the Greeting Farm Blog, please be sure to make your way there. I've heard there was close to a hundred (holy cow!) participants and you wont want to miss any of the TGF eye candy sweetness.

For my card today I used TGF's Wild Sprouts Ruby. I contemplated for a while on which card I wanted to use for the Anniversary Hop. But I decided on Ruby because I loved her ever since I saw her on Amy's blog. Back when she wasnt even a stamp, just a spectacular drawing by Amy.

I used Jen's SFYTT for the layout because she has the most rockin' sketches. I also got out my brand new Divine Twine (in yellow) and it's soo awesome. Holds together really well, I didnt even need to use a needle to thread the buttons! And I added a bit of glossy accents to her hair balls thingies. It so reminds me of the sparkly & glossy hairball thingies that I used to have when I was a kid.



Don't forget to head back on over to The Farm for more fan-tastic creations!

Anni-VERVE-sary Blog Hop

Happy Anni-Verve-sary! It's Verve's three year anniversary and I'm super excited to be participating in my first ever Verve Blog Hop. If you didn't start at the original Vervegirl Julee's blog, or come from Diva's Michelle W.'s blog, take a moment to start at the very beginning. You wont want to miss the fan-tastic creations.

My MiL needed another wedding card so I decided to break out all my faves. I decided to try experimenting with more white space (than I normally do). I embossed a white panel with my current fave embossing panel, polka dots. Then I punched three squares in my go-to PTI colors and stamped them with the flower from Meditations in Versamark. I stamped my all-time favorite Verve set ever- Wishing You. And I topped it all off with a pretty yellow ribbon and some jewels.


Enjoy the rest of the hop. Your next stop is Wanda, who I'm sure whipped up some spectacular eye candy for you all. If you get lost along the way you can always refer back to the Master Hopper List.

The Dets:
Stamps: Verve Meditations, Wishing You
Paper: PTI true black, raspberry fizz, simply chartruese, hawaiian shores, white cardstock
Ink: Versafine black, Versamark
Accessories: square punch, spellbinder circles, cuttlebug polka dots, ribbon, mb jewels, stickles stardust

Catchin' Up

So N is old and broken. She cant even stamp right now. *cries* And today she oh-so-subtly asked me if I was posting any time soon. Well actually I think her words were something like, are you posting today? So because she's old and broken, I've decided to cave her divatastic demands. Heh heh.

Anyway, here's a card for my Bro-in-law. I made it months ago (and actually sent it to him on time -yay) but forgot to post it. I picked up this lil' robotic cutie from Stamping Bella. I colored Cakey Watt in copics and went over a few bits with a stardust pen. Just because its a boy card doesn't mean it cant sparkle. Well...at least the cards that I make.


The Dets:
Stamps: Stamping Bella Cakey Watt, TCP Smells like cake
Paper: MB notecard, Basic Grey lime rickety
Ink: Memento, Copics, Stardust pen
Accessories: PTI aqua mist button, PTI lemon tart ribbon, spellbinders ribbon tag & rectangles, krafters floss

Papertrey July Blog Hop Challenge

So this month's PTI Blog Hop theme was to use office supplies. And my MIL needed a wedding card so combining the two was a bit challenging. I was told the wedding invite had a whole "going green" theme, so I opted for a less traditional wedding color scheme of kraft, vintage cream and green.

I used Giga Guidelines and stamped it in green. Then went over the whole thing with a background from Background Basics Text Style I in Versamark. I distressed the edges with some tea dye inks. And mounted it on a cream panel with distressed edges. I die cut a labels three on spring moss. It looked a bit plain so I also stamped it with Text Style. I topped it off with a ribbon and added a couple staples for some added interest.

Then I stamped the inside with the companion sentiment.

The Dets:

Stamps: PTI Giga Guidelines, Text Style Background, Verve Wishing You

Paper: PTI ripe avocado, spring moss, cream cardstock

Ink: Versamagic spanish moss & tea leaves, Versamark, Brilliance pearlescent chocolate

Accessories: staples, spellbinders circles, labels eight & three, twine, PTI spring moss ribbon, cream ribbon, kaiser pearls

Fairy Girl Friday

Happy Fairy Girl Friday!

I've been dying to get my hands on this ah-dorable cutie, MFT's Fairy Girl, for a while now. I sparkled up her wings, wand and the little balls on her shoes. So fun! Then I tried my new sparkle dust on a dark chocolate panel I embossed w/ some d'vine swirls. And of course for more sparkle, I went over "magical" with a purple spica glitter pen.

So the whole card sparkles like a proper fairy girl card should.

I used Jen's awesome SFYTT. And topped the whole thing with a felt flower w/ a shiney PTI button. I dig the frosty goodness of the PTI buttons.

Of course a small detail shot of the all the sparkle...

The Dets:

Stamps: MFT Pure Innocence Fairy Girl

Paper: SU!, PTI dark chocolate, Basic Grey kioshi paper

Ink: Memento black, Copics, spica purple glitter pen
