Market Street "Block Party"

I heard about the block party from a fellow blogger and decided to check it out.  I had heard of Market Street stamps but I don't own any and had never even visited their website before.  I am glad I did.  They have a great selection of stamps!!  For my entry in the block party I used their digi stamp which was provided at the block party for those of us who don't own any of their stamps.  I traced and cut the image out on my Silhouette Cameo.  I also made a shadow of the image and cut that too.  I used my Bic Mark Its to color it in (I may have to save up and get copics one day:-)  I also added a 3d flower embellishment that is a cut file from Lori Whitlock.  This is one of my first 3d flowers ever and I am hooked!!  I ran the flower pieces through my cuttlebug and then with some perfect pearls mist.  The sentiments are from Scrappy Moms and My Pink Stamper.    Thanks for stopping by today and I hope you visit again soon:-)

Happy Birthday - Attempt at coloring a digi stamp

Hope everybody is having a great weekend!!  Mine has finally calmed down enough to leave me some time to "play".  I have been able to make a few cards and wanted to share this one with you.  I used a digi stamp that I had downloaded sometime ago so unfortunately I don't remember where I got it from.  I don't own any Copic markers so I used my Bic Mark Its to color this in.  I was inspired by a youtube video by Stamp TV explaining how to use Bic Mark Its in place of Copics.  I blinged the card with some stickles and tied a ribbon on.  The sentiment is from CardzTV's "Ticket Talk".  

Happy Easter

Whew!!  What a full and fun weekend!!  Saturday morning my youngest daughter had a soccer game and this week it was a sunny day for the game!!  Yeah!!  She played great for her 2nd game ever:-)  The rest of Saturday was spent getting ready for Easter and doing "sunny-day"chores!  I have great kids - they mowed the lawn and washed both of our cars.  My hubby worked on our garden beds - he is building us 3 raised beds this year.  I snuck in a nap cuz I am still getting over an icky cold.
Easter Sunday my husband was in our church's play and had to be there early for both services so it was just us girls going to service together.  Here is a picture of the four of us -

I made a couple of Easter boxes to give to the neighbor boys.  We put some craft goodies and a matchbox car inside the boxes.  They are on a special diet so no candy for them this year.  I used a digital stamp from Doodlepantry and colored it in with Bic It markers - nothing fancy.  The box is from TBBM.
