MOJO Monday 129

Here's my card for the MOJO Monday challenge. I used my Verve stamps and some Basic Grey dp.

Ready for spring, Chickadee?

I did this for the paper piercing challenge over on Crazy for Challenges. This little chickadee is all ready for spring, and next week he will be featured on one of the new stamp sets being released from Mark's Finest Papers. All the paper and ribbon are from Mark's finest papers as well. This lime freeze is a realy favorite of mine from Faith's great collection of papers. The piercing pattern is a digital pattern I got from Angel's Landing a while back. I've seen so many more birds this past week that I am convinced spring is right around the corner.

Lady Serene

This is a beautiful new stamp set from Mark's Finest Papers, which will be released next Tuesday. You won't want to miss the blog hop that will be going on as well, because it will give you a chance to win some BLOG CANDY! I used MFP's ripened tomato for the cardstock, a strip of the polka dot black and white paper from Basic Grey's June Bug Collection. I used a white Galaxy pen to colored in the white flowers on the kimono, and that fabulous ribbon is from Mark's Finest Papers as well. Don't forget to check things out over on Mark's Finest Papers next week to see all the new releases!

Belli Challenge #86

Our sponsor for the Belli Challenge this week is Sunshine Stamps. This little image is one of their creations. I found this fun design paper from K & Company and it looked great with SU's kiwi kiss cardstock. I cut some of the little worded pointer out and attached with eyelets which I got to use my new Crop a Dile Big Bite on. I found it on a clearance at Walmart for $20 (what a deal)!! It was so fun because I could reach any point on the card that I wanted an eyelet!!! I haven't used eyelets in a long time, so it was great to come up with some clever ways to use them. Hope you have fun with it too and then link it to Mr. Linky over on the Belli blog site.

I loved these colors this week for the color dare. I did a little punching, a little embossing, and a little huffing and puffing (or that's what I call that method anyway)!! This ribbon treatment was a great way to  use up some of those smaller pieces of ribbon scraps. I even added eyelets, which are also the challenge for the Belli Challenge this week. I haven't used eyelets in quite sometime. I know you can come up with something lovely with these fabulous colors so go over to the Color Dare blog to link it to Mr. Linky!!!

MMSC43

This sketch is for the Midnight Madness Sketch Challenge #43.
This is a sneak peek at a new stamp set from Mark's Finest Papers called Spring Roses. The papers I used are from Mark's Finest Papers except for the back. I used some of Faith's white organdy ribbon that I colored with my copic marker to get it the color I wanted it to be. I just love my copic markers because they do amazing things like this. Be sure to stop by over on Mark's Finest Papers to see all the new things Faith keeps offering.

Mark's Finest Papers Guest Designer

March is going to be such an exciting time for me as I will get the opportunity to be a guest designer for Mark's Finest Papers. I can not begin to tell you how thrilled I am to have a chance to do some things I love.

I think you will be excited to see the new stamps that Faith will have available soon over at Mark's Finest Papers. This one I used is called Daffodils and Anise. It has this butterfly and also a hummingbird as part of the set. I was really excited about these wonderful metal flowers and leaves as embellishments. Check on those to be released as well. Faith also handles all the Basic Grey collections that I love and I used some of the papers from the Nook and Pantry collection on this card. The cardstock, called Breezy Blue, is just right for those gorgeous spring cards you will need to get going on!!! I stamped the anise directly onto the design paper, which is something I have been trying lately. I colored it in with copic markers as well as the butterfly.The ribbon is a soft blue organdy which is so perfect for that light and airy feeling that makes you think of spring. Look forward to MFP's blog hop to take place on March 10-13. More details to come on that!

Again, I look forward to showing you all the wonderful things you can find over at Mark's Finest Papers.
