Mani Pedi Mishaps!!!

Hello, Happy Friday Eve!!!! I am so happy that this week is almost drawing to an end because this weekend my hubby and I are going to get manicures and pedicures!!!! Woot Woot! I know most of my friends and family treat themselves to these like weekly or biweekly, but for me it's a treat because I'd rather spend my pennies on tangible items- Like ummmm... Scrapbook supplies!!!! LOL! So in anticipation of the treat I decided to make a little card to sit on our mail desk ...just in case the hubs tries to back out of our appointment....and trust me we both need it!!! LOL!

Anyway, I used the super awesome New Release stamp set Spa Time from Docerela Creations! Totally love this set because it's just so versatile! You can create gift cards, backgrounds, journal, make cards, use the words on layouts....and on and on!!! Check out my journal entry using this great set and the current "gift" challenge HERE!!!

Ok, So here's my card! Oh, and can you spot the mistake I'm talking about and why I think it's fun?

Drumroll.....well, if you guessed the random black ink smudges on her hair and face--- You are correct! So what had happened was....LOL! She was colored and ready to go, but I picked her up with my messy inky fingers!!! Boo! But, then I thought it was kind of fun because the saying is "Pamper me Pretty" since she is ugly from the dirt and grime of a hard week!!! Am, I digging to deep? LOL! What can I say....I'm only child so my imagination is HUGE!!!! Anyway, just thought you'd all get a little laugh about that! So once again, another reason why this stamp set is AWESOME--without that sentiment I could not have salvaged my smudged cutie pie! LOL!

Docerela Creations- NEW CHALLENGE!!!!

Hello, Lovelies! I'm sew glad it's Friday and sew glad you're here today because it's challenge time at Docerela Creations today!!! We have a brand new challenge that you simply must play along with! :)

Challenge: Use Kraft Cardstock

I know we all have some Kraft cardstock in our stash, so I want to see you and all your crafty friends link up your projects! Sew, a couple of weeks ago Docerela Creations released a new stamp called.....Life's a Stitch! Trust me, you need this stamp set! It's sew cute...go on and take a look and then head over to the shop to get your set:

Ok, now that you've seen this adorable set, here is my take on the kraft cardstock challenge:

I love how crisp and nice the sentiments stamp! I also love how the stamps interact nicely with my Neon Hero Arts inks! Yep, I was feeling a little 80s vibe when I made this card. Isn't that sewing machine pure cuteness??! The sentiments and images on this stamp set are just simply adorable!

Well, I'm not the only one who LOVES this stamp, sew please go visit the other Docerela Creations Design Team members for inspiration and eye candy!

Hope everyone is having a beautiful Father's Day. I'm just stopping by today to share a little card with you! I'm participating in a card swap and need to make 6 kids birthday cards! Of course, you know what that means...have to get out my fav Docerela Creations sentiment stamps and TFG image stamps out to play! Woot! So here's my first card. I was actually looking for this basketball texture paper that I have to use instead of the green snake skin, but that's what happens when you have too much stuff...sometimes things get lost! I have no idea where that sheet of paper is, but I'm sure it will show up at some point. And because it's bothering me- I'm happy that Hobby Lobby is closed today otherwise I know I would have gone out and bought another sheet- LOL!

I used this weeks Freshly Made Sketch as the starting point for my card...
