Have a great rest of the week!

Gift Giving Sophie

Hi everyone! Today I come with my first share for 2013 with Sweet Nothings Stamp Co.  I made a sweet birthday card using Gift Giving Sophie from the December release. She is perfect for holiday projects, but I also thought we could definitely use her for birthday cards, and I did.

I used My Mind's Eye Lavender Collection from their Sweetest Things Line. I love the colors and patterns on that line.

Sophie is so stylish with her Ugg boots and long sweater, perfect for the winter time. I love that she carries lots of gifts too, I mean who doesn't like gifts? I sure do!
I hope you were able to see Sophie in a new way through my share today, and that you were inspired.
Thanks so much for stopping by the blog today!

Happy New year!

Happy New Year everybody!

It's taken me quite a while to get back here and post, but today is a fantastic start to the New Year Blogging. My beautiful princess has been keeping me very busy, and today she's officially a big girl at three years old. Seems like it was only yesterday when she was in my belly!

It's been quite a challenging few months, but we have managed to get through them, and succeed at reaching our immediate goals. We are so blessed to have this ray of sunshine in our lives, and we couldn't have asked for a more happy, loving, smart, and genuinely sweet girl. She has the best personality, and can be quite the character at times. She makes us laugh, and always keeps us on our toes.
I look forward to seeing her grow up, and pray that she'll be an example for others to follow.
God bless you my child. I love YOU most!

Merry Christmas!

Wishing you a very blessed and Merry Christmas!
Hope you enjoyed it with your loved ones!

Thanks so much for your support!

Custom Ornaments 2012

Hello friends!

Hope you are all enjoying the holiday season. This time around I was able to make some custom glass ornaments. I had purchased the plain glass ornaments last year from my local Michael's, but I never got the chance to alter any until now.

These are my fist try at these, an I have to say, they look pretty neat hanging on the tree. They are simple to make and would make a great hostess gift too.

I have more details on these on THIS video on my YouTube channel, don't forget to check it out. I've also ventured into the world of Instagram, so if you are on it and want to follow me and see snippets of my days you can click HERE and follow.
Like always, I want to say thanks so much for stopping by. I appreciate all of you who do, and stick with me, even at the times when I'm not posting continuously. You guys ROCK!!!

Hello friends!

Today I wanted to share a layout I created, adding some micro fine glitter accents. IF you follow my Youtube channel, you probably saw several video tutorials I made a while back, on different techniques usinf microfine glitter. If you missed those, you can always go back and watch the techniques by looking through the "Techniques and Tutorials" playlist located on my channel. All the videos there are titled so its easy to find what you're looking for.

For more details on this layout, you can check out the video I made on my channel HERE.

Thanks so much for stopping by today, enjoy your week!

Shopping season is here!

Hello everyone! December is here, and you know what that means, Christmas time! Time for lots of family gatherings, lots of great food, and lots os shopping! For today's project, I want to share with you a very simple, but super cute card using Sweet Nothings Stamp Co.'s Shopping Bag Sophie. Thought it was perfect for this time of the year, even though she's not meant to be a holiday image.

I glittered up the bags and added some Tissue Paper for a more festive look, and I personally think those bags make the image even more adorable. What do you think?

Sweet Nothings Stamp Co. has released some more adorable images this month and I encourage you to please visit the shop HERE and take a look. Every other month, new images are released, so I encourage you to also check out the Facebook page HERE, and stay informed on the latest Sweet Nothings Stamp Co. has to offer.

I know I have not been posting as much lately, but I've been really involved with stuff here at home, including some major stuff like potty training my daughter, and all the ones that have kids, know how that goes. Also, my mojo has been gone for quite a while, so that has not helped. I'm hoping things get back to normal soon. You'll be the first to see my new creations.

Hope your holiday shopping goes well! Thanks for stopping by today!

Uptown girl

Hi everyone! Happy Monday! Today I wanted to share this winter card I made using Uptown Sophie from Sweet Nothings Stamp Co. Did you know she was a free digi for the month of November? Did you get her yet? If not, go over to the SNSC blog and check out all the details on how you can get her for FREE!!!! Check it out before November is over because once it is, she will no longer be available for free, you'll have to pay for her.

I used Echo Park's Winter Park Collection for this card, and I made a very detailed tutorial video on how I colored her, paper pieced her, and how the entire card came together. The video will be up later today, so make sure you are subscribed to my channel and Sweet Nothings Stamp Co. 's channel so you don't miss any of the tutorials posted there.
Hope you enjoyed today's card!
You can watch the tutorial HERE.

A card for Scrap Happy Ohio

Hi friends! 

Today I want to share a card I created using some fabulous goodies sent to me by Scrap Happy Ohio. I was so super honored to have been chosen to showcase their products, but I was even more excited when I got these babies at my door. Aren't they cute?

Well, I was thrilled to work with these high quality items, and let me tell you, they have so much more on their site! You have to check them out! Click HERE to get a good glimpse of all the goodness they have to offer!

They have their own line of stamps and dies, and their variety keeps growing all the time. If you want to keep up on all the new stuff, make sure to like their Facebook page HERE, tell them Sharon smscrapper on YouTube sent you, and never miss an update!

Here's the card I created with my two beauties:

I colored in the image using my Copic markers and a few specialty pens and glitters.  I added some pearl accents, as well as some foam snowflakes, which complemented the paper collection I used nicely. It's the Winter Park Collectionby Echo Park, and the colors are so rich, and pretty. Here are some more close up details of the card.

I want to thank Susie, and all the wonderful people at Scrap Happy Ohio for sending me these goodies to play with. I had a blast creating this card. I hope you liked it too! Remember, to go like Scrap Happy Ohio on Facebook, and tell them Sharon smscrapper on YouTube sent you!
