I ♥ You Like...

A fat kid loves dessert!

The new Cupcake Inspirations challenge starts today and the theme is "Be Mine'!

The Paper Shelter is our sponsor and they are generously providing 3 digital images to our randomly chosen winner!

I used TPS's Yummy! digital image on my card. I usually shy away from the "Tall" or "Slim" sized cards, but this image needed the slim style. I designed the card in Photoshop Elements; resizing the image and adding a fun sentiment.

The font is *Daisy's Delights*. All of the capital O's have a tiny heart in the center!

Then, I gave myself a quick refresher course on how to use my Silhouette Cameo to print and cut...🙄

Since I have trouble with this card design, I looked through my trusty Club Scrap Idea Deck for a sketch to help me out and found this one.

**Club Scrap** ALCM Idea Deck Vol. 2 is no longer available, but see the supplies list below for links to the new digital downloads that include 13 cardmaking formulas each. Cutting and assembly instructions are included with the sketches.

I still had a few pieces of the Club Scrap Mumbai kit leftover and used those instead of cutting up whole sheets of card stock. You should see my stack of scraps, I can't throw them away!

I know this sounds like a long process, but it came together quickly. It took longer to color the image with Spectrum Noir alcohol markers than it took to make the card!

That's One Sharp Set of Cards!

A few years ago I bought a bunch of indoor cacti and succulents for my home and office window sills. I have quite a collection now and they are so much fun to grow and admire. The window sill in my operatory at work is full and they are popular with my patients, especially the kids! It cracks me up when they come in my room and make a beeline for the window exclaiming, "Look at the cacti!" Kudos to the science teachers in Rapides parish because I didn't know that word when I was in elementary school! Little boys will even leave their mark and make mini cairns on top of the cacti with the colored stones in the pots. God forbid if I move them, because those little boogers expect them to still be there when they come back to see me for their 6 month dental check up! 🤣

Today's post is part of the Southern Girls January 2019 Challenge, Love is in the Air! I created a set of shutter cards using instructions from the Club Scrap Mumbai card kit and the Cacti Digital Stamp set from Lia Stampz.

You can view the video of my process below or on my youtube channel!

I just love the bold bright colors of the Mumbai kit! I used card stock and ribbon from the kit and colored the cacti images with Spectrum Noir alcohol markers. I added some Stickles Glitter Glue for sparkle. (You can find the full supplies list at the end of this post.)

Owl Be There!

If there's anything I can't stand, it's a smart owl! 😂

https://youtu.be/O6rHeD5x2tI

How many licks did it take for YOU to get to the center of a Tootsie Roll Pop? I think I lost a few baby teeth trying to bite into those things by the count of three!

I absolutely LOVE the stamptangle line from JFF Stamps! The zentangle-like designs that fill the images make them so unique and different! The Stamptangle Owl Be There image reminds me of those Saturday morning commercials.

I found a fun owl themed quote on Pinterest to complement the owl image.

I measured the image, typed out the quote in Photoshop Elements to fit neatly next to the owl image and printed on Kraft card stock.

I used the sketch from Tuesday Morning Sketches to design the background for a fun layered look. I took a little extra liberty with the sketch to suit my card design!

I stamped the owl image onto navy card stock with Versamark ink and heat embossed with silver embossing powder for a bold effect. I fussy cut the image and mounted with foam tape, assembled the layers and I finished it off with a pair of spectacles made with gold Fun Wire!

The JFF monthly challenge is still going strong! This month is a color challenge and we'd love for you to join us for a chance to shop at JFF Stamps.
