Hello! It's a very happy day here! Today I am the Guest Designer for Tag You're It Challenge 50!

I am THRILLED!!!! What a nice honor!

Here is the inspiration tag for this challenge:

Cute, cute tag!!!

My inspiration from this tag was to make a double tag with a fruit theme!

Here is my tag:

I used a tag set from Mama Elephant. 

To color the tag, I did direct to paper using one of my new

 Hero Arts Ombre ink pads. The stamps are from Unity Stamps.

Thanks for stopping today!

I'd love it if you left me a comment!

MAUH! Freshly Made Sketches #241

Hello!! Happy Thursday! It's a treat to be able to post in this challenge early this time!  I am participating in Freshly Made Sketches #241!

Here is the sketch this week:

For my card I used a fun set from Sugar Pea Designs.

I am loving my Ombre inks from Hero Arts!!

I added a bit of glossy accents to the lips for some shine!

I usually leave the inside of my cards blank, but these words just fit so perfectly.

Thanks for visiting today!  MAUH!!!

Tag You're it Challenge #49

Back once again! This time with my submission for Tag You're it Challenge 49.

My inspiration from this beautiful tag was to make a white card with a tag in blues.

I stamped the image in Ombre ink, the blue pad. I used a direct to paper technique to create the top layer of the tag.

I love the clean look of white cards. I added a bit of Wink of Stella for a little shine. Frame die cut is from Mama Elephant. I think these Ombre inks are going to become a favorite of mine!

Thanks for stopping by today. Until next time - Barb

Freshly Made Sketches # 240

Back again with my card for Freshly Made Sketches # 240. I used my newest favorite stamps set from My Favorite Things - Lucky Dog.

The papers are from Memory Box. Thought I'd try something different and use a purple theme. I colored the scotty with Peerless Watercolors. They are really nice watercolors! Very vibrant and easy to blend.

A touch of clear Wink of Stella and some Pretty Pink Posh sequins.

And, just for fun - here is a picture of MY Lucky Dog, Josie.

Thanks for visiting today! See you soon!

Cas(e) this Sketch # 176

Hello - happy Sunday! Today's card is for Cas(e) this Sketch # 176. Another fun sketch!

My favorite 'go to' die cut is my Coffee cup die set from Lil Inker Designs. I love making coffee cards. They are just so much fun to do!

The frame die is from Mama Elephant, no idea what company the flag is from. I hand-doodled the steam, sequins from Pretty Pink Posh.

Hmmm - I think a trip to Caribou Coffee is in order today!
Thanks for visiting! Hope to see you again.

Cas(e) this Sketch #175

Back again with my card for Cas(e) this Sketch 175. I like the sketch this week!

For my card - I dug out an old Hero Arts shadow stamp. It worked great for this sketch.

The dog stamp is from My Favorite Things - Lucky Dog set.  I think the dog looks sorry doesn't he? lol   I used 2 distress inks on the shadow stamp. Really like how that turned out! I colored the dog image with Spectrum Noir markers.

Thanks for stopping by! Come back again!
