This card will be entered into a contest, wish me luck:) I stamped the image in black and colored using rose red, old olive, and pretty in pink ink and a blender pen I also used sponges.

Hi there! Today's SC138 was a breeze I love it when that happens. I used BG paper, rust and black. The butterfly was stamped on natural white and colored with chalk. After coloring I smeared it with distress ink and cut it out. The wings are curled using a pen. I must say I really like this one.

That's from Malieta! she wrote me a beautiful email telling me why she thought I should have it. I'm so honored!! Thank you. I had a bit of trouble getting it posted on my blog and then I got really busy and never said what it was or where I got it. I apologize for taking so long. Now I should pick 5 blogs for the award, but I can't! There are so many awesome bloggers and most I visit already have this award. Thank you so much Malieta for your kind words and wonderful award:)

I love this BG paper and didn't want to cover it to much. I used really thick pop dots on the rose and leaves.

Cool note holder




Good Morning! I love stamping on game pieces. It's so easy with great results. This project is perfect for everyone and small enough to go anywhere. The post it note size is 3x3. I think these would make great gifts as a note holder, but how cute to have a picture of the kids or pet. You could stamp the game piece to match the picture. You can see how to make the games pieces on SCS.

Have a great Sunday!
