Happy Friday. Man it's cool out there, I slept with the window open and man what good sleep, then Bandit has to go out so I had to get up...........at least he gets me up so I don't have to clean it up LOL.
here is a card I made a few weeks back and I must say I really like the way it turned out. The way I colored the bird, I couldn't do that again if I tried LOL. It's 5x7, using all Stampin Up card stock except the ivory and its from Gina K. The stamps used are:
HCPC3383 Cardinal Posy Branch
HCPC3354 Classic Messages

Pearls
and last but not least the home made shimmer mist I made using the body spray and the Shimmer Paint from Stampin Up.
Sorry but I have no idea which Prisma Color Pencils I used. I am so bad at that!
Okay that's it, being I am off today, I best better clean up some, you would NOT believe the mess here in my craft/computer room. I did buy a laptop last weekend and it came yesterday.Yes I am very excited, anyway one of the IT guys from work is gonna try and get over here this afternoon to set up the wireless router, fine tune the computer. Now Bill & I can both be on the computer at the same time and stop praying the other would go away and let me play LOL. He's been researching his family history and then wants to do mine and that really takes alot of computer time, me, I wanta blog hop and comment LOL. So you can see how important both are hehe. Okay, I'm gone, I'll drop in on your blogs in a few, until then, be good!!!!

Sweet Shop Challenge
Good morning, I never got back yesterday, had a house full of company then went out to eat, got back late, caught a few minutes of the race and went to bed! so don't tell me who won, we recorded it so I will watch it later.........Go Jr. #88.
On to my card. It's for the sketch challenge over at the Sweet Shop . I need a little girl card so I thought great image for her. I also got the idea over at my team sister's blog Angelica, Bellismavida. she does gorgeous work so please go check her out. She also took a Sarah Kay image, and layered it. There is the idea, I stamped mine 4 times, colored her, the started layering, on the main image I layered the whole image, 3rd layer is from the waist up, 4th and last layer is the ribbon and bow in her hat. A lot of cutting but I love the finish product. Bill saw my cutting this yesterday and ask why I didn't use one of them cutting things to cut it out. Wish I had one, this took some time let me tell ya! It's 5x7, parts are embossed, spritzed, and colored with Prisma Color pencils and OMS. Pearls were added to finish it off and that's about it. I'm mailing this one to Stella, she hasn't gotten one is awhile so gotta let her know Nana still loves her LOL, You know like she wouldn't know it unless she got a card LOL. Okay, I'm gonna try to get around to everyone's blogs today some time and see what beauties you have made, have a blessed day and later girls.............
