Retro Roxy

InStyle Stamps has some wonderful retro stamps that are so fun to color or paper piece, this time I colored Roxy using my Bic It markers. She just looks so sassy! I used Basic Grey designer paper and Real Red cardstock.  The flowers I found at Hobby Lobby and love the bright red color. I ended up using the sentiment "sweet" from the retired SAB set: So Very (though I wish it said "Sassy"). ;o)

My children start back to school today and I am looking forward to more of a routine. Christmas break was so nice, but I am ready to get back to a normal schedule. Have a great day!

Colorful Live Your Dream

I am taking a short little break from making Christmas cards and wanted to share this card I made using the stamp set Live Your Dream. I just love all of the colors! I embossed the flowers with Ruby Red Craft Ink and like the shine. I am not one to doodle around my cards very often, but for this card it worked around the edges. The Biblical sentiment is from the Happy Harmony stamp set and is a favorite of mine.
I hope you have a wonderful day....I know next week I will have quite a few Christmas cards to share using the Little Yellow Bicycle Christmas Magic Scrapbook set and matching clear stamp set. I am having so much fun with it!

Live Your Dream

I almost didn't buy this set when it was in the mini-catalog...but am glad I bit bullet and did. Sadly, it didn't make it into the current catalog. This was a card that came together rather quickly. I used my Linen BG to add a little bit of texture to the cardstock, I am not sure it has shown up to well on this photo. Then I went back and randomly stamped the butterfly using Soft Sky ink as well. This is a nice simple layout that I use when I am short of time and need a card in a jiffy.

Well, I have a full day here so I best get busy. Have a great one!
