PAM Challenge

Hello peeps.  I am just a tad late posting this card. Our new challenge over at Paper A La Mode at the Outlaws this week is "To Use Something on Your Card that Starts with the FIRST Letter of Your Name."  Our generous sponsor this week is Scrapbook Stamp Society.  Make sure to stop by and show some love to Sherry.

For my card, I used an image called Ella Bella Buttons and the color Eggplant.

I love Sherry's images.  They are so cute.  I used a new stamp set from The Stamps of Life to make the daisy flower and the sentiment is also from that same set.

Thanks so much for joining me today.  I hope to see your entry this week at PAM.

Have a wonderful day and God bless.

New Paper A La Mode Challenge

Happy Saturday, friends.  Today is a busy day for me.  I've got tons of errands to run and my daughter is cashing in one of her Christmas coupons for lunch.  I made her a coupon book and gave it to her for Christmas.  There are coupons for lunches together, playdates at the park, game nights, snuggling and a movie.  Just different things so that she can pick when we spend time together.  We are together all day every day, but I figured this way, she would feel special being able to cash in her coupon and have Mommy's attention all to herself.

Our new challenge over at Paper A La Mode (must become a member of The Outlawz to participate) is "Flowers".  Our sponsor this week is Scrapbook Stamp Society and the prize is 2 images from Sherry's store.

The Design Team used Sherry's images and this is what I came up with:

This little cutie is called Sweet Marylou Bestie.  I have really gotten into making my own flowers.  I don't know how to make anything but roses, but I can make them in the colors, patterns or sizes I need them.

Thanks so much for stopping by today.  I hope to see some of y'all's entries over at Paper A La  Mode this week.  Have a great weekend and God bless.

Fancy Lady

When I saw this image, I knew I had to have it.  I love it.  Morgan Fitzsimons has some beautiful images and our theme for this challenge over at Scrapbook Stamp Society is to use either an image from Morgan or from Mitzi Sato-Wiuff.  I chose one of Morgan's beautiful ladies.

Isn't she gorgeous.  That Morgan is one talented lady.  This is a decoupage image.  I used pop dots between each layer of the image.  I used my Nestabilities to cut out the ovals.  I inked all the edges with DI Wild Honey.  The DPs are vintage postcards from DCWV.  The yellow card stock is from Colorbok and the base measures 5.5" square.  I added some gold pearls from Queen and Co. to finish off the card.

Thanks for stopping in tonight.  I so appreciate it.  Have a great night.  God bless y'all.
