Happy Birthday Sweet Friend!

Hi Friends! I am always running late on birthday cards, but today I got it right. I want to wish my sweet friend Patricia a very Happy Birthday today! She is an amazing friend with a big heart. She is simply wonderful and I am so proud to call her my friend. I made this card using some of my favorite Wild Rose stamps by A Muse. They are so pretty! I also love making tent topper cards. They come together so easily and are fun to make. I first stamped the Wild Rose Branch stamp with Tea Leaves ink (VersaMagic). I then inked up the Wild Rose stamped images with Spring Pansy ink (VersaMagic) and then rocked the edges with Purple Hydrangea ink (VersaMagic). Very easy and I love the soft look of chalk inks. I added some sparkle with Multi Ultra Fine Crystal Glitter. Hope you have a fabulous birthday, Patricia! I hope all of you have a fabulous Sunday!

Thanks for visiting and join me tomorrow for more from Stampendous!

TESC115 - Have a beautiful day!

Hi Friends! It's Friday and the long weekend begins!!!! Woo Hoo!!! You got any plans this weekend? Well I hope it includes a little time to participate in this week's Taylored Expressions Sketch Challenge. Taylor has come up with another fabulous sketch for us. I started off my card by inking up the cute A Muse - Flutterby Flock stamp in Gingerbread VM Chalk ink. I then used a Deckled Rectangle Nesties die to cut and emboss around the image. I paired up the image with some lovely October Afternoon - Farm Fresh papers that I haven't used yet. I added some pearl colored brads at the top and bottom and finished it off with a fluffy bow. I added the sentiment Have a Beautiful day inside the card. I just love clean and simple cards. They are easy and fun to make. Hope you enjoyed today's card and thanks for visiting. Have a fabulous holiday weekend!!!

P.S. I don't what's up with all the different shades of brown on my card. I think I was playing way too much Pac-Man on Google and lost some of my sight. LOL!

CCM - I heart Freddie

Hi!!! I'm back with another sweet Chi Chi Memories image to share with you. This week I get to work with one of my favorite CCM stamps - Elephant Love. I love this adorable elephant named Freddie. He is just too cute and I had to pair him up with some fun Doodlebug Designs patterned paper. He is so festive and I knew he would be perfect for a birthday card. I colored the image with Copic markers using lots of the different colors from the patterned paper. I love working with the CCM digital images. The images are all so cute and fun to color. I am also a big fan of their sketches. Today's card uses the latest sketch - CCM .SC #6. So do you love Freddie or what? Well he's back with a brand new image called Freddie Loves Daddy. So sweet! Be sure to visit me again on Sunday for more fun with Chi Chi Memories.

Thanks for visiting and Have a Great Day!!!
