What's Cook'in??

Greetings!

Since I have been "pinning" on Pinterest I've been cooking A LOT more than before.  I made beef stew last weekend and a recipe I came up with on my own called Candy's Cream Corn Cornbread muffins. Lol...say that fast a few times. I have never been able to make edible cornbread (I inherited this shortfall from my Dad).  Sooo, I had my little sister who is studying to be a Chef to make up the mixture and I added a 1/2 cup of cream style corn.  I was pleasantly surprised how it made the muffins moist and rich with flavor.  

Okay, well enough about cooking.  I say all this to share with you my card I made using Birdie Brown's Chef images. 

I used SU designer paper and cardstock that I emobssed with Tim Holtz's brick embossing folder.  I used Copics to color the images and chose not to color the faces to make the other parts of the image pop.  The negative circles was made using Spellbinder's Circle diecut.

Thanks for looking!

BB Candy Cupcake

Greetings!

I'm late posting today, but was determined to continue to post everyday.  Today I want to bring you a card using a oober adorable image from Birdie Brown...Candy Cupcake.  I like to think that it was named after me. *gigl*  I used a sentiment from Paulette at Create with TLC, because as usual Paulette has a sentiment to go with any image out there (and if not...if you ask really really nicely she may create one for you).  I dedicate this card to all the sweet people that I have had the pleasure to "meet" here in blogland.

I had to go with yummy bright colors when working with this delicious image.  I immediately whipped out my MME's Lime Twist 6x6 paper pad.  I used the papers as my inspiration for the candy on the cupcake.  I added a bit of glaze to the candy to make them pop and added Paulette's sentiment to put the finishing touch on my card.  I also used Copics to color my image and Spellbinders circle and circle eyelet diecuts as well.

Also, to continue with the celebration, Torico (owner of Birdie Brown) is celebrating the 1 year anniversary of her store.  She is so sweet that she is offering her single digis for a $1 each. 

From now through midnight 3rd (EST),

ALL single images are $1.00!

Yes, just $1.00!;) It's time to stock up your digital stamps!

Soooo, you may want to head over there and grab some of these adorable images to create your own oober adorable creations. :-)  Also, don't forget to stop by Create with TLC to pick up that perfect sentiment to accompany your images.

There she goes...Counting Sheep?

Greetings!

Today I want to share a card with you that was totally inspired by the sentiment.  I sometimes will come up with or see a sentiment that will totally force me to make a card because of it and this is one of those cards.  Also, the fact that I have not been getting any sleep lately (can't figure out why) inspired the sentiment which inspired the card.  lol  See it is the circle of life! 

Well, when I came up with the idea of making this card, I immediately thought of Birdie Brown wonderful Sheep set.  Here's my creation...

I just love these sheeps.  They remind me of the sheep from the Serta mattress commercial.  I used Co'ordinations cardstock to make the card and added dp from MME's 6x6 pads.  I tied it off with some twine and 3-D popped some clouds and a sun to hover over the little guys.  I also added numbers to the sheep to make it easy to count. *gigl*  The sentiment reads, "When you can't sleep...Talk to the Sheperd instead of counting sheep."

I love the way it turned out and will be entering it in the There She Goes challenge with an "Animal" theme. 

I also entered this card in the Penny's Paper-Crafty Challenge with an "Anything Goes" theme.

Moo loves you, baby?

Greetings!

I know it is 4 days after Valentine's Day; however, I wanted to share with you a creation I made using Birdie Brown's adorable cow.  Sometimes I make cards and put them aside (like to take pictures of my cards all together) and forget I made them.  lol  Well, this is the case of this card.  I was sitting around one day going through my stash of odds and ends and created this card.  I had fun layering the papers and coming up with a sentiment to go with it.  Birdie Brown's image are truly adorable and Torico always produces the most inspiring sample cards to accompany them.

Well, here's my Moo loves you, baby card...

I used a lot of different punches and diecuts on this cutie.  First of all the sentiment and other tag shaped papers were cut out using SU Tag Punch.  The border was cut out using Friskars or MS punch (can't remember), the beautiful heart diecut is a SVG I picked up along the way, and finally the circle diecuts are Spellbinders.

I used copics to color the cow and used a glaze pen to add to her eyes.  The paper is from MME's Lost and Found series.

Things that go Boo and happy birthday wishes too...

Greetings!

It is almost Friday!!  Woohoo!  I so look forward to the weekend.  I am so exhausted lately (trying to fight this yucky flu). 

Today I am sharing two cards with you that are similar in color, but different in theme.  I have used the adorable images from Torico, which if you haven't visited her sight...you're missing out.  She makes the most adorable images and I love playing with them.  Today I used her Monsters (you can find in her Etsy store) and her freebie Party Chicks.  I created these cards using the color pallette over on ColorQ.  I don't get to play often over there, but when I can I am always inspired to create something fun. lol  You should check it out if you are in a color rut. :-)

Torico's Monsters

Greetings!

Happy Saturday!  I want to share with you the Good, Bad and Different monsters (name I gave them) created by Torico.  Torico is so generous that you can get these cuties for free.  However, please make sure that you leave some love.  I can't draw a stick person so I am very appreciative when someone who can decides to share thier work with me. lol

I was still on a digi paper high when I decided to paperpiece these little ones. 

I have another idea for these little guys so don't be surprised if you see them again in the very near future.
