Bling, bling and More bling

Good morning everyone,
Made it back from my scrapbooking retreat and it was a blast. I can't believe how much I actually got done. Of course the fact that I pre-planned my work doesn't have anything to do with it! LOL
Here is one of the cards I created over this past weekend...

This little cutie was made with Mermaid and Friends. She was colored in with Copic markers and I wanted to enter her into a challenge so...

I blinged her out. I added Stickles Glitter Glue to the image to add punch, then I punched out photo corners and added Art Institute Glitter to them. But I couldn't stop there - LOL

For the final touch I added a string of pearls down the side, because let's face it, every girl should have pearls.
The challenge is from The Sisterhood of Crafters and it has to do with Bling, Bling and more bling!! Right up my alley.
Hope you all have a great Wednesday and don't be shy, I'd love to hear from you.
Take care - Jodie

It's Saturday...

Good morning all,
I hope you are having a wonderful weekend so far and that you're creative juices are flowing in full force.
As I mentioned yesterday, here is my card for the 2Cute Rubber Stamps Celebration Challenge.

This pair is ubercute and adorable. The image is a digital stamp called Cute Cherry Wedding and can be found in the 2Cute Etsy Digital Stamp store. Of course I couldn't just stop at coloring in the image with Copic markers so....

I pop dotted up the bowtie and flouwer, then added glitter for extra punch. The paper is handmade Washi paper, which I love, and the embellishments are Dewdrops.
Please enjoy and have a fabulous weekend.
Take care - Jodie

Happy National Scrapbooking Day Weekend

Good morning everybody,
I hope everyone is going to find time to be creative this weekend in celebration of National Scrapbooking Day.

I'm off to a scrapbooking event with a good friend of mine and we're leaving today. I'm still trying to get organized and for those of you who know me, that's no surprise that I've left everything till the last moment! :-)
I hope everyone has a wonderful weekend and be sure and drop by tomorrow to check out my card for the challenge.

Friends & Fun

Well as we near the end of April, I wanted to created a card that reminded me of spring and summer. Nothing says summer, at least to me, like ice cream cones!!!

This image is called Artic Friends, which is one of the older digital stamps from 2Cute Rubberstamps. I colored in the image with Copic markers, but added a bit of flare with my newest tool...

This is a wax sealing tool that I bought at my local Hobby Lobby, and yes of course it was with a 40% off coupon - LOL. I melted the wax, then stamped the image into it with the stamp that comes with the kit. There are 5 images in total.

I then added glitter for the finishing touch, and voila, my card is done. I hope everyone has a wonderful weekend and happy crafting!!! - Jodie

Easter bunny is hopping away!

Good morning folks,
It's been a busy little while for me. My crafting gene has had to take a back seat to the living of life, but now I'm back and fired up to start crafting.
Here is my latest creation using 2Cute Digital Image. Heidi is a great designer and her images are adorable. She offers a great selection in both cling rubber and digital stamps, so be sure and check out her Etsy store.



We all know that I love the bling, but with this card I decided to go ALL out. I used glitter, beads, and pearls. The image was colored in with Copic markers and Art Institute glitter. My poor little fur babies were walking around with this stuff for days!LOL The dies are from Spellbinder and I just love their new labels and shapes!
I hope you all have a wonderful Easter weekend and have a creative day!
Take care - Jodie

Happy Valentines

Good morning all,
Hope you are enjoying this cool weather. For those of you who know me, you all know that these temperatures are working for me, colder would be even better! LOL
Heidi, who is owner of 2 Cute Rubber Stamps is having a Valentine challenge, at her blog. You will for sure want to check it out, her designs are wonderful. Here is my card...

I wanted the image to pop, so the card was created with a "white on white" type of thing. I created texture and interest, but simply used white cardstock, mounted onto a white base.
The little guy was colored in using Copic markers, then I added more detail with Stickles glitter glue and gems. Hope everyone has a great weekend, and we'll talk soon!

Happy 2011 Everyone

I hope that you all had a healthy and happy holiday season. Now that the stress of Christmas is over, hopefully we all can get back to some fun and crafting.
I know it's been awhile since my last post, but one of my new year resolutions is to update my blog more than once every never!LOL
Stay tuned for my creative ideas and hopefully you are going to enjoy the new blog look.
Have a wonderful Monday everyone and take care...
