enjoy nature's splendor

today I have a "Joy fold" and spotlight card to share with you

 I really like this fold and the technique I haven't done either in a long time...but with them both being challenges at MFP I thought I'd give it a try once more.
I used my Autumn glory stamp set from MFP and followed the mesurements for the tutorial on MFP I had to alter the front a bit but the others seemed to be perfect! (I did turn it) and with the spotlight I followed that tutorial as well (they have some awesome tutes over there) I stamped my MFP leaf to make some patterened paper and used a lil fall looking flower to hold the card shut...I love how this turned out...if you know me you know I love fall!

thanks for taking a look :)

Sand $

today I have a summer card to share with you

I used the Sand Dollar mini set from MFP and I followed the sketch for one of their challenges over on their forum...its a sketch challenge for the friends of speedy TV challenge! I tried to keep it really simple and I love it! I have the sand dollar popped up on pop dots so it stands out...it looks awesome!

Eat, Sleep, Fish

today I have another MFP card to share with you (they giveaway stamps as the prize and I really want more of their stamps...I love them...but I can't afford them...so this is what I must do)
this card is featuring the Get Reel stamp set

I stamped my image on some shaving cream swirled paper, then diecut it out and stuck it on a card and put eyelets in my senti and added some twine...and made it very masculine I think :)
I would like to enter this in the Friends of Speedy TV challenge- Vacation and the MFP challenge blog- masculine B-day cards...as it is a card I'm giving my fishing bro for his b-day :)

day at the Beach

I have yet another ATC to share with you :) I just love these lil things!

I was inspired by a few challenges to make a summer themed creation and this is what I came up with

I used some summer stamps I had on hand, and my new Beach stamp from MFP (I only stamped part of the senti)...added allot of glitter to my images, and then for my paper I used some scraps I had...the blue "ocean" paper was made with paints, and the brown ish "beach" paper is a coffee filter dyed with food coloring....this thing has awesome texture!
I would like to enter it in the following challenges
MFP friends of speedy: Vacation Time
Wicked Wednesday ATC: Life's a beach
Papelitos: anything goes

I have a fat page to share with you today

isn't she a cutie? I got the image from A Day For Daisies and I love it!
I colored my image up with pencils then added glitter to her tail and the seahorse's bubbles then I made a background paper with acrylics then added some texture past to the edges and then painted that up, then I took some paper and run it through my cuttle bug and then painted that, added some buttons ribbon gems and more glitter and there I have it! cute huh?
I followed the sketch at The Crazy Challenge, and the Texture challenge at A Day For Daisies 
I would also like to enter it in the Fat Pages with Attitude: anything goes challenge

Sassy in the city Carrie

sadly the Sassy Studio's Relay has come to an end...I received my last image last night and I created my last ATC today check it out

this one is Carrie Sassy and she was loads of fun to color...the theme this time was New York or Paris
so I took my atc and a bunch of layers and added a black boarder and my NYC words (I think it was a nail polish ad in a magazine) I added some pink stickles here and there and there I have it!
