New for 2012!!

Happy New Year, y'all!  Hope everyone is having a Blessed year so far!  First I would like to start off by sharing a Christmas photo of the kids!

They are getting so big these days!

Here is some new stuff that I have created in 2012!

New Birthday card I created using brand-spankin' new PaperTrey Ink stamps!!

 This is the new Think Big Favorites #12 and the Lace Bouquet sets.  I stamped the flowers using Aqua Mist and Moss (PTI inks) to give it a multi-colored blend.  The sentiment was stamped in Moss onto Aqua Mist paper and pearls were added.  Easy peasy!  (it's available in my shop if you are interested!)

Muslin Favor Bags are all the rage, so I decided to try my hand at some!

 Easter or can be stamped with no sentiment for Baby Showers!

 Wedding/Baby Showers!

 Destination wedding favors!

 perfect for Princess Party faovr bags!!

Destination/Beach Weddings

I think they turned out adorable!

Here is some new Easter Stuff:

You can check out all of this new stuff in my shop!

Have an awesome rest of the day!  I will be back soon to share some other new stuff with ya!

St Patty's PCS Style!

Hello again! I am busily watching the Olympics tonight and finishing up some new stuff. Due to some schedule changes, I was not able to play along with PCS' Digi release last week, but I had to create some cuteness with these digi's!

You can find all of the new digi's HERE. For my first card, I used Itty Bitty Betty - Pot of Gold. I found some of my St Patty's DP from last year made by Best Creation Inc. I paired it with some Garden Green cardstock. I created the lighter green paper by airbrushing a white sheet with some YG03 and then sponging some Kiwi Kiss over it. I created the sentiment on my pc and airbrushed it with some G82. I just had to give Betty some little bows. To get them small enough, I cut them in half (width-wise), so it would be skinnier and then tied it and cut them short. I masked her off and airbrushed the background with G82 & BG000. I used the following Copics to color Betty: G20, 82, 85, 99; YG21; E000, 000, 00, 11, 30, 33, 35, & 37; R20; C1, 3, 5, & 7.

For my 2nd card, I used the Owl Leprechaun Digi Image:Isn't he adorable? I used the same papers, just different patterns in the same line. I created this sentiment on my pc too. I used lots of gold brads to make it shiny! I did not have the right color of paper for this either, so I airbrushed a white piece with Y00, so it would coordinate. I swear, one of the best things I ever bought was my Copic Airbrush System (ABS) and compressor. I don't know how I functioned without it before! LOL!Here is a close-up of Mr. Leprechaun. I colored him with Copics and added some clear stickles to his gold and then some Lime stickles to the shamrock on his pot of gold. It's hard to tell, but I added some Liquid Glass (CTMH) over his eyes. I masked off Mr. L and airbrushed the background with the same colors as above. I used the following Copics to color Mr. L: G20, 82, 85, 99; YR16; YG21; E000, 000, 00, 11, 19, 30, 33, 35, & 37; R20; C1, 3, 5, & 7; Y08.

These 2 cards will be added to my Etsy Store tonight if you are interested in them.

Gotta run, snowboarding finals are on! It looks like Team USA is dominating so far! Louie Vito just had an awesome run, Lago rocked it and my fave, the 'flying tomato', himself is coming up soon! ~Tori

Top O the Mornin' To Ya! - New PCS Digi's!

Happy Thursday, hope everyone is doing well! It got very cold again overnight here in FL, so I am thawing out a little myself this morning. LOL!

Just a quick post today - sorry no card to share today, but I was supposed to be out of town this week (major blizzard in the NE changed my plans), so I did not have a chance to make a card for this week's release.

Look at the cuteness Melissa came up with this week!!

I will definitely be playing with these digi's soon!

Be sure to stop by all of the other PCS DT blogs for more cuteness!

Top O' the Mornin'....

Happy Friday!!

I am so glad it is the end of the week! It has been one of those 'Calgon Take Me Away' weeks!

As you know, my dd injured her ankle and was on crutches. Thank goodness it is just a sprain! She also had 3 baby teeth pulled this week. To top it off, yesterday, she decided she could try hobbling around on her foot and took off after our crazy dog, Nemo, that always runs under the fence....Well, her ankle gave out and she tripped in the street and skinned her hand, knees and stomach....Not a good week for her. Also, my boys had to go to the ENT this week and have their noses scoped - this does not feel good! My 3 yr old laughed and said it tickled, but my 5 year old screamed before, during and all the way home. He hates needles, not to mention a long tube being put up your nose (they do numb it, but it is not comfortable - I've had it done before)

But, it's Friday and today things are pretty quiet! :) So, I thought I needed a beer...

(not really - it's too early! LOL!)

I got this Riley a few weeks ago, but have been too busy to get ink on it until now!

I colored Riley with my copics and then layered him and used the slot punch to run the black ribbon through. I layered this onto this new argyle paper is from Reminisce and then layered on black CS. I used my new wavy edge punch from EK Success - love this thing and it punches like 'butta'. I typed up the sentiment and printed from my pc. I added a few green dew drops at the bottom right corner.

I went back and added some gold glitter to his shamrock, but did not like how it turned out.

Copics I used:

Supplies: Beer Riley - Hanna Stamps, Sentiment - computer generated; Ink - memento; Paper - bazzill, Whisper White, black - SU, Reminisce DP; Accessories - Dew Drops, Copics, Black Ribbon - SU, Wavy Punch - EK Success, Slot & Circle punches - SU

TFL & Have a great weekend!
