i have some very personal stuff going on so this is not any sort of happy day and i wont pretend it is.  i do hope you all are having a great day though.. remember to hug those you love and care about  and be sure to tell them how much they mean to you. everyday. they can be here one day and gone the next so dont let any opportunity pass you by.

this week over at BBTB2 joanna has chosen our cut , the rainbow from once upon a princess. i dont own that cart so i used one from hello kitty instead.  remember you too can use whatever cut you do have if you dont have the assigned cartridges too.be sure to check out what the rest of the dt has created this week and play along! we love to see your projects..we get inspiration from you too! 

for my card along with the rainbow cut i added colorbox fluid chalk and stickles.  paper is dcwv, i cut out extra lollipop flowers ( thats what i call them for this card anyways) from the pre~patterned sweetstack pack  and pop dotted them atop existing ones. thats it , a very quick and simple card. thanks for stopping by your sweet comments always make me smile .

happy monday :) this week over at BBTB2 our challenge is to the fish cut from the camp out cartridge. be sure to head on over to the blog and see the awesome way the rest of the dt has used this.

my mojo is way off with some personal crap going on so im hating this card pretty much but they cant all be winners right :)  it relieved some stress if only for a short time so hey i owe the poor little fishy something other than the garbage bin  right ? ;)

so besides the fish cut, i made a pole out of a craft pick, thread and a wooden bead and a cute tiny  button. added cloud9 raindots  colorbox fluid chalk and stickles .

this week at CCC mary has chosen our theme to be shoes. i also did a little faux embossing.... i used sweethearts ( heart and shoes plus the inside sentiment) and jasmine (corners)  cartridges for this challenge. i also used an ek success punch , kaiser pearls and colorbox fluid chalk. papers are dcwv.be sure to pop on in the blog and see what the rest of the dt has put their heart and soles into..oh yes im quite cheesy ! ;)  we dont get a sneak peak of each others work so i too look forward to the posting every wednesday :) awesome bunch of  creative ladies for sure!

thanks so much for taking the time to visit and comments are greatly appreciated :) have a fun rest of dayXXXshelly

heres where the faux embossing comes in...

what i did was stamp a swirl using staz~on. (black)  . then inked in SU white and see how i slightly went over the first image but not exactly precise over it...this is where you could use your thing a ma jig or other  stamp positioner. this pic is a tad blurry but oh its really pretty in the real ! be sure to try it youll be amazed i swear :)
