InStyle Stamps Monthly Sketch Challenge

Hi there,

I can't believe it is already April, this year has gone by so fast, next month I will be graduating, it's all so surreal!

This week I've been on spring break so I went home for break and before I left I hurried to make my card cause I knew I wouldn't be taking my supplies with me. Little did I know I was working on next weeks Color challenge instead of today's Sketch challenge. So for today I just want to share with you today's Sketch Challenge, sketch:

and then I want to direct you to the InStyle Stamps Blog so that you can see what the other DT members have in store for you. I plan to post my card ASAP, I should be back home on Monday and I will try my best to get my card done between classes, so come back next week to take a peak at my card.

Sorry for my mistake! Thanks for stopping by! Have a great day!!

ISS Wedding Week Day 5 - Lee and Miela

Happy Friday!!!

Hurray for the weekend!!! Today is Day 5 of Wedding Week over at the InStyle Stamps Blog. Today we are introducing Lee and Meila, the bride and groom couple. They are so cute!! I had a blast playing with them. They will be available for sale in the store as soon as the redesign is complete.

I'm not sure if it's my computer screen or what but these pictures look a lot better on my camera screen, hopefully they look good on your end. Never the less, Meila's bouquet and veil is embellished with Lavender Flower Soft, I wanted to add some dimension to her bouquet and veil, and I thought Flower Soft would be the perfect touch. I also colored her dress in with Butter Cream Shimmerz.

Enjoy!!!

I hope you guys enjoyed my card. Now I am off to get things ready for the real wedding that I will be attending tomorrow. Maybe I will have some pictures to share with you. I know for sure I will have pictures of my boyfriends almost 2 year old nephew who is in the wedding, but I'm not sure what else I will get.

It's amazing how fast a year can go when you are happy and enjoying your life!! I definitely need to be thankful for my wonderful and supportive family and my boyfriend!! I guess I too should be thankful for being able to go to school and get an education even if I have yet to be accepted into a nursing program. I'm just thankful that I have the opportunity to attend and be able to apply. Well thre are soo many things to be thankful in my life right now but these are the major ones and the list could go on forever but I want to share with you a lil Christmas card.

Can you believe that Christmas is exactly a month from today, to be exact 30 days from today?!! Im not counting or anything, no seriously, before I can get to Christmas I have to finish a twenty-five page group paper, and then an eight page essay, and an SPSS project and of course a bunch of finals. The worst part, I haven't worked on any of these yet. So first I have to finish up school before I even think about Christmas, booooo :-P. Well I guess it's almost done then a month of vacation so once I'm done I have something to look forward too, ;-D.

Well enough about me, on with the card!! I used a new InStyle Stamps digi image called Scarf Chick. She is one of my fav's, and I think she come out just gorgeous in the card!! Check her out!!

Hey there,

I hope all is well. Everything is well with me. Sorry things have been slow here around my blog, my granfathers services were last night and this morning so I haven't been anywhere near a computer in last few days, but I hope to get back ontop of things.

I have several cards to show you all,I just haven't gotten around to uploading them and making posts. I need to start getting better and scheduling my posts, I always have the picture uploaded but I always fall behind on typing up the details,so I will need to train myself to upload pics and add details at the same time so that it's all set and ready to go and I don't have to worry about doing it all last minute.

For this afternoon I want to share with you all a sneak peak of one of the new Ocober Digital Anime Halloween images from InSytle Stamps.

I want to introduce you to Frankie. He is so stinkin spooky, lol!!!!


For his card I decided to go with 2nd challenge issued over at Crazy 4 Challenges blog. So here is my take on the challenge.

Club Anime Kit & Image Release

Hey there,

Are you ready for Over the Hump Day? We're half way through the week AND half way through the month, so InStyle Stamps is celebrating with a little candy.

This month we are giving away 3 custom cd cases that contain 5 Journal Cynthia images printed on Neenah paper for you to color and a CD filled with InStyle Stamps Non-Anime Images. That's over 80 images, absolutely free...just for creating a project!!! How great is that!?! Be sure to pop on over to the InStyle Stamps blog for all the details on how you can be entered to win.

On another note today, over at Club Anime we are launching our new images and kit for October. The kit is super cute and it includes some great paper and ribbons, you just have to have them, I know I did!!! We are also launching our new images for October and they are definitely a must have too. They are sooo cute!!!

I got to play with the new image called CC, isn't she cute. She makes me want to go find some monkey bars at some local school and play on them. I loved the monkey bars as a child, I was always playing on them. This image really makes me want to go find some ;-D lol. I paired CC up with some of the paper and ribbon from the October Kit, and then I added some pink rhinestones, that I had, and I typed up a sentiment, "Let's hang out!!!", lol I thought that was pretty clever.

Check it out, CC definitely knows how to have fun on the monkey bars!!! Enjoy!!!!
