Harmony Goddess

This card is for a sketch challenge found here: http://www.michelleperkettstudio.blogspot.com/

The image is a digital stamp from Michelle Perkett Studio Designs. I think she is just beautiful, don't you? Love these kind of images to color! I added my rhinestones with gold stickles as the glue and pushed them down in so that it oozed out the sides. I kinda like this effect. After the Stickles dry, they will be more sparkly around the stone. tfl

Beach Good Luck Charm

This card is for a Laura's Sketch 44 challenge found here: http://2sketches4you.blogspot.com/2010/01/lauras-sketch-44.html.

I cuttlebugged and sanded Core'dinations cardstock for my base, and stamped my image on a piece of paper I made with the shaving cream technique with my friend, Amy, quite a while back. I love these papers, and was glad to find a use for a piece of it. tfl

Birthday Barbie - TLC257

This card is for Splitcoaststampers' Technique Lovers Challenge - TLC257 - to make a side-step card. I needed to make a card for my niece's birthday for her party on Feb. 14th, so I cut out the Barbie image from the invitation and used it as my main image on this card. Stamped happy birthday on back panel, cuttlebugged the side panels with my new Asian folder, and added flowers and rhinestones. Pretty easy. tfl

Birthday Razzleberry Flowers CC253

This card is for Splitcoaststampers' Color Challenge - CC253. I had kind of a hard time with this one, started out with another idea and it didn't work, so then had a hard time incorporating the chocolate chip. Ended up using it to make fluorishes on the pink flower and to highlight happy birthday on the pink cuttlebugged panel. Not my favorite card, but it's what I have for today. tfl

Birthday Strawberry Kiwi Cake TLC255 CAS49

This card is for 2 challenges at Splitcoaststampers: TLC255 and CAS49.

It has a slight scent, but not as much as I would have liked. CAS49 was to cut something out for your card, so I cut out a window for my cake. tfl
