What's The Buzz?

I finally had some time in my stamp room and decided to see what I could do with the latest Deconstructed Sketch. I love this sketch. I was inspired by Tobi Crawford's take on it and came up with this. I love the hexagons and the yellow and gray is one of my favorite color combos.
I used a Spellbinder die to cut each of the hexagons, the yellow and gray papers are Bazzil cardstock and even though it is difficult to tell by the picture they are actually different shades. Most of the patterned paper is from My Mind's Eye Breeze collection. I used the bow die from Lil Inker and the bee stamp is from There She Goes stamps Bee Happy set.

You Rock My World

I made a Valentine's Day card for my hubby last week, but now I think I like this one better. I might just have to give him two! The stamp is from Verve. I stamped it in VersaMark ink and then embossed it. I cut the image out by hand. I ran the red cardstock through my Cuttlebug with the Modern Wallpaper embossing folder and then rounded the corners. The flags were cut with a Fishtail die from MFT and the edges are inked to give a little more depth. The patterned papers are from MME Tis the Season and MME Breeze.

What a week

I was so glad to get in my stamp room this weekend. The flu stormed through our house last week and between taking care of a sick husband and child and then getting a terrible cold myself I didn't know if it was going to happen this weekend or not. After trying three different pharmacies my hubby finally scored some Sudafed and I am feeling darn near one hundred percent!
On to my card today. The layout is Deconstructed Sketch 85. I really like this one. I used one of my new stamps from Paper Smooches called Cuteasaurus! Dinosaurs are still really popular with kids, especially my teenage daughter! I colored the little dino with copics and then layered the image onto a red square swatch (spellbinders). I found the patterned paper in a pile of scraps. I wish I knew the manufacturer. I stamped the sentiment on green cardstock cut with a MFT bracket die.
Hopefully this week will be much better and I will get more time in my stamp room.
Have a great week and thanks for stopping by!

Smarty Pants

 I couldn't wait to get my hands on this adorable little girl! I love everything about this stamp set from There She Goes. From her little shoes, to the untucked shirt to the glasses with a piece of tape in the middle to the bow in her hair! She is just so darn cute!!! I colored her with colics and then layered the image onto an oval cut with a Spellbinders scalloped oval die. The delicious papers are from Imaginisce and they are perfect for this stamp set. I added some twine and a button from my stash. The red flags were cut with a MFT fishtail banner die and topped off with some black pearls.

Soar

I had some time over the long holiday weekend to play in my stamp room. I inked a new TCP set, Soar. I like the versatility of this set, it includes some Christmas sentiments but can also be used year round.
I colored the rocket propelled bunny with copics and then used The Deconstructed Sketch for the layout. The papers are from an old October Afternoon pad. I used a TCP star die for the blue stars and a zig zag die from MFT for the blue strip.
