It is Sunday and that means time for another challenge over at

Creative Inspirations Paint!

This weeks challenge is

Inspired by: Spring

and this is what I came up with

I recently won a collection kit from Nikki Sivils

and I picked the Exit Here Collection.

The designer papers are from this kit and I just fell in love with the bright colors and beautiful quality of this paper.

  My image is a freebie from Bugaboo Stamps

that I colored with my copics and paper pieced.

I used Creative Inspirations Paint in the following colors to add shimmer to the image

~Tutu Pink and Sky Blue for the flowers

~Sage for the leaves

~Rustic Red and Sunshine for the flower pot

Crinkle ribbon from 3 Girl Jam in Baby Girl

Buttons from my stash

and 

sentiment from Hero Arts Thinking of You

I hope you like my card and that you play along with us this week.

Head over to Creative Inspirations Paint for all the details

Remember you do not need to use CIP but if you have them I would love to see how you use them!!

For my card I used SweetStamps.com Chick set for the adorable chick and sentiment.

I colored the chick using copics and then added some shimmer using CI Paints in Sunshine

The egg shape is cut using My Creative Time layered egg die and the sentiment was stamped on a tiny tag die also from My Creative Time.

Happy Easter Treat Box w/ Creative Inspirations Paint

Morning Everyone!!!

I wanted to share an Easter Treat container with you using some of my 

FAVORITE crafty supplies!

Since getting my CAMEO.....

I have loved cutting out all the 3D projects the store has to offer.

This one is a simple Gable box (gable_box_C0149 7/06/2009)  cut using Kraft Card Stock.

I added a layer of Designer Paper in Black and White Plaid from Recollections.

The eggs are from My Creative Time  Hello Spring Stamp set using the Layering Egg Dies

I heat embossed the eggs using Creative Inspirations Paint Deliquesce Black and Deliquesce Super Sparkle Pink.

This picture does not so a good job of showing the extra sparkle that is in the Pink....I LOVE it!!!

The scalloped and stitched circle are also from My Creative Time and the sentiment is a mix between the Hello Spring set for the center bunny and the Happy Hunting set for the circle.

I added some 3 Girl Jam crinkle ribbon in Cherry Lipstick

and some homemade skittles that I painted with

Creative Inspirations Paint Fuchsia.

Now there is still time left to enter  this weeks Creative Inspirations Paint Weekly Challenge

Post #2 "Harry Potter Birthday Card~CAS"

Hi again!

Here is my second card for today~ a birthday card for a 9 year who is a HUGE Harry Potter fan!

When I say HUGE I mean bigger than Huge....he knows everything there is to know about Harry, has read all the books and if he could be a wizard he would be :)

If you have followed my blog for a while this is the same little boy who I made the journal for back in July.

You can see that post here.

So here is my CAS card for Evan~

I used a kraft card base

Bugaboo~ Har Repotter "The Chosen One" image

I colored him with my copics and added some Creative Inspiration Paints in Antique Silver to his cape and wand. The picture does not really show it well but there is that extra sparkle!

I also added Winter Frost paint to the stars to look like they are shining.

The image is matted on maroon card stock

I twisted peppermint trendy twine in a bow and added a metal birthday cake charm.

The sentiment is a dollar bin find from Studio G.

I love Stamps!

Happy Sunday Everyone!!
I hope you are all enjoying your weekend.

Last night we had a girls night~ ate TONS of junk...watched Bridesmaids and laughed and laughed!
The movie was so funny...the company was awesome and the food....way too much :)
It was so nice to get together without the kids (this is our usual group...all the kids are great friends) and have some adult time!

I was able to get some crafting time in this morning before we are heading over to another friends house to celebrate her end of treatment and Cancer Free diagnosis!!

Here is my card for today.....

I am sure all my faithful followers know that I do indeed LOVE Stamps....especially digital ones and I am a BIG Bugaboo fan so yesterday when this stamp was given as a freebie I knew I would be using it as soon as I could :)

This card came together with several challenges in mind.

Catch The Bug Challenge Blog~ World Card Making Day

Crafty Sprouts~ Red, Green and Black

One Stitch at a Time~ #82 Use A Digi

Paper Sundae's~ #89 Lots of Layers

Creative Inspirations Paints~ Buttons

Inking it Up Crazy~Glitter and Bling

Pile It On~ Do It for Fun #40

For my card I used all scraps from my ever growing stash!!

The image is from Bugaboo Stamps

I colored her with my copics

C3,5,10 ~YG63,67~ E000, 02~ R24,29

The buttons are from my stash of buttons...I

 used green and black ones

That beautiful crinkle ribbon is from 3 Girl Jam 

~in Mistletoe

I used Stickles for the heart (my glitter and I'm not sure the picture shows it well)

I used Creative Inspiration Paints in Fairy Dust for her bow....

(this gives her bow some more sparkle and bling :)

That's all I have for you today....thanks for stopping by and see you all tomorrow :)

Belated Birthday Card w/ D2D Image

Good Morning Everyone!

I have my weekly D2D freebie I received last week for completing my project and wanted to get this card finished because tomorrow is a brand new image day :)

This weeks image was Happiness Blooms

and here is my card

I really love the way this card came together.

I colored the image with my copics and for the center could not decide on colors so instead I made my own rolled ribbon center.

It for sure gives the flower the extra texture I was looking for!

I added Creative Inspiration Paints to the petals in Light Purple and it gives it some beautiful sparkle.

I used eyelets up the side and ran my seam binding through that...again for some more texture.

The sentiment is computer generated and I know there is always a need for belated birthday cards.

I am entering this into the following challenges:

Birthday Sundaes~ Belated Birthday

D2D~ Friday's Free Image Challenge

Thanks for stopping by and see you all tomorrow :)
