Super Bowl Sunday

Hi all, ok so this doesn't exactly represent either of the two teams in the Super Bowl today, but I think the big game should be a celebration of professional football in general so I'm posting my Happy Packer Snowman card up for the game. Even if you don't care for the Packers, ya gotta admit these images from Peechy Keen Stamps are just adorable. I'm all set for the game here, and no, I don't exactly have a grill sitting out on the patio with a bratwurst on here like this cute guy does, but the munchies are almost ready, and I'm ready to watch some football.

Since I'm not a fan of either the Saints or the Colts, I was really open-minded, but some of us in Jeanette's Enchanted Forest Swap on SCS have decided to root for the COLTS, just based on the fact that their quarterback Peyton Manning is a cutie! LOL! So on that note, with beverage of choice in hand.....

GO COLTS!!!

Hugs always ~ LJ

New Purse.....Sorta....

Hello! Happy Friday! I thought I would share a few of my swap cards/ABACs I have been working on over the weekend. This card was made for Tracey's Top Note Swap. I took the Top Note Die and used some DP to make a purse to go on the front of a card. I just folded it at about 2/3 to the top, and cut off the very little excess from the back side that was showing. The sentiment is from a retired SU! Set, called First in Fashion. The DP is also retired from SU! (Hawaii Papaya).

Have a great day!

MOJO Monday - Heartily Yours

Hello! Here is my card for this week's MOJO Monday Sketch, using the Gina K Set Heartily Yours. I colored the image with SU! Markers and then stamped it on the white card stock. I love using this technique with bold images that have a lot of "elements" like this flower stamp.

Have a Terrific Thursday!

Inktegrity ~ Love Bug


It's day 3 of the February Inktegrity Releases, and I'm super excited to share this image with you today! This one is Love Bug. There is so much you can do with this image to make it all cute and adorable. The "lady" bug is all glamoured up with pink K&CO Bling for her eyes and headlights. I used a spica glitter pen to outline the wheels on both cards to give it a little more sparkle (hard to see in the picture ~ sorry!)

If you love this image, as well as the other two images that were released this month, you can go check them out at Joni's Inktegrity Store.

Have a wonderful Wednesday!

Inktegrity ~ BEEP BEEP!


Hello and happy Terrific Tuesday, and Day #2 for the new Inktegrity releases! If you haven't noticed, this months releases all have a common theme, wheels! This is Emmitt's Jeep. :) It's the perfect image for a hip boy's birthday card which is what I did above! My primary colors are Only Orange, Tempting Turquoise, and Green Galore. The headlights are Basic Grey Brads. Not sure where the ribbon is from, I have a bag full of ribbon scraps I'm trying to use up!

Hope you enjoy, and have a super day! There will be one more adorable image tomorrow, and I can't wait to *bug* you all with it! Tee-Hee!

Inktegrity ~ Bella's Truck



Hello!

This is one of the adorable images for the February Inktegrity Release, Bella's Truck. There are actually two bella trucks (one of which I will share later) but when I saw this one with the back end empty I knew It would look just adorable with a pile of valentine buttons just stacked up!

I colored the image with prismacolor markers, and then used a rub-on for the sentiment. I love white rub-ons because they show up so nicely on darker DP and cardstock!

More tomorrow! Gotta go Vrrrrrooom!
