If you came here from the Jellypark Challenge blog, then you are on the right track and if not CLICK HERE to start at the beginning of hop!

 

For my creation today, I decided I wanted to make my image the star of my card. I grabbed this sweet image called "rabbit and balloon" and colored it up with Copics.  Now to create my cloudy background, I started by punching out a scalloped circle. I then place it on my panel and sponged on CTMH Heavenly Blue ink, I finished by added a little more ink around edge of panel to make those clouds pop.  I found the perfect sentiment on a set of CTMH stamps called "Love Quotes."  I love how such a simple design can make such a big statement!

Now if you would like to purchase any of our fundraiser images to help support our great charity, just click HERE for all the details.  If you would like to learn more about Little Havens, please visit the Jellypark Store and our 2012 Charity tab.

Oh did I mention that I have some BLOG CANDY available for one lucky commenter? I will randomly select one lucky person to win 3 Jellypark images of their choice courtesy of me- how cool is that!

So leave me a little love and then head on over to Diane's blog to continue the hop and see what AMAZING project she has waiting for you!  Thank you for stopping by and have a wonderful weekend!

Jellypark New Release Day

It's Friday and I am ready for the weekend, do you have big plans this weekend?  Here in my home it's the weekend before high school baseball tryouts, so it will be full of lots of preparation to get ready for the big day on Monday!!!  I cannot wait for baseball season to start and watch both my boys put on their unifroms and hit that dirt.

Today brings us a anothee "NEW RELEASE DAY" at Jellypark and there are two wonderful new images that have been added to the store HERE! Since our challenge this week is all about the Oscars, the new release images are perfect to plat along with.  Want to join our challenge?  Just click HERE to play along and see what the team has created.

I created another CAS card using "all dressed up" and I have paper pieced her dress, purse, and shoes. I added a little faux stitching around the edge, which at first I wasn't crazy about but now love it and will be trying more often. My sentiment is from a CTMH stamp set and to complete it the inside says:  live live honestly, eat slowly, and lie about your age.~Lucille Ball

New Release +Winter Wonderland Challenge at Jellypark

Don't you think penguins are adorable? This little guy is no exception and is one of the "New Releases" this week at Jellypark. I got some new papers in the mail and couldn't wait to use on my project, these are from MME 6 x6 stack called "Blink of an Eye" which I picked up at 2 Peas in a Bucket.  I started with a sketch from My Time Made Easy and inked all my papers with CTMH Desert Sand pad. I colored my lil' guy with my Copics and then paper pieced his hat, adding brads to the little pom-poms. I outlined everything using my black spica pen and finished it off with a couple buttons with ribbon.

Now not only is it "New Release Day" but it's challenge day to at JellyPark, this week's challenge is called "Winter Wonderland"- so show us those projects featuring snow/snowflakes!  They are actually predicting a little dusting her in KCMO, which the kiddos will love as we haven't had hardly any snow this year!

Jellypark: Something In My Pocket

It's finally Friday and I am ready for a great day full of scrappin' and girl time with my friends tomorrow!  We have a packed weekend again with a basketball game for Lucas and my oldest Micah is traveling to another math team competition and had to catch bus at 4:30 am.  Crossing my fingers for him to have a great competition, last one he was the top Sophomore out of entire competition (as well as top participant from his school) and brought home 4 medals+ plaque+ lettered! This momma is so proud!!!

Well enough of that how about ending the week with a challenge?  Today is challenge day at Jellypark and our theme is "something in my pocket" and it's new release day as well!  I never make many masculine projects, so I wanted to make this bookmark card for my stash.  The image I used is called "space rocket" and is colored with copics.  I  found this fun piece of patterned paper and inked the edges with CTMH Cocoa ink.  I decided to create a moon so I cut a circle on my Cricut and then embossed with tiny bubbles, flipped in over and inked. The rocket image is mounted on cardstock and I cut a slit in front of my card to secure the bookmark.  Inside I stamped "I think the world of you" which is from Stampendous Changito in space stamp set.

Come on over and check out what new images Claire has created HERE and see what 

the rest of team has done this week HERE.

Wedded Bliss Club

Jellypark is sponsoring the challenge this week at My Mum's Craft Shop, the theme is "NEW." Well what couldn't be more new than a marriage, so I created this card using "cute wedding couple bride & groom" from the Jellypark store. I had so much fun creating this card, I have used some new Nesties to frame the image.  The roses were created using my Die-Namics Mini Rose die, then I added a little glue to then and dipped in some glitter. I added some hearts on background using one on my embossing folders and cut the heart for sentiment on my Cricut.  The sentiment is from Congrats set from Stampin' Up.

Don't forget to join the "old year/new year challenge going on right now at Jellypark Challenges for a chance to win more FREE images.  You can see all the details HERE!

Happy New Year + Thank You Card

Hope everyone's 2012 is off to a great start already, our starting off a little bumpy with a sick kiddo. My lil' Lucas started puking a little after midnight and continued until almost 7 am on Sunday.  Finally got him down to sleep and he was out until about 1:30 pm, one more round and then things finally settled down, he went to bed early on Sunday and slept until after 10 am on Monday.  Of course he work up and was raring to go, so we headed out to watch to movies to see "Chipwrecked" before having to head back to school today. So finally I think things are settled down, what a way to start the New Year right?

Well this allowed me lots of time to color and I have a stack of images ready to assemble, so be ready for some new projects soon!  I invite you all to come join us this week at Sunday Sketch & Stamp, we have a wonderful sketch from our fearless leader Maggie.  I decided to work with this super cute lil' man from Jellypark called "boy with sign." I added the sentiment from a Stampin" Up set, I love the versatility of this lil' guy!  Make sure to check out Jellypark's new challenge this week HERE too!

My Wish For You......

It's hard to believe that we will be embarking on a new year in just a couple days, I look back and think where did 2011 go? However I am excited to see what 2012 has in store! With that being said what could be better than starting off the New Year with a new design team, that's right I have been invited to join the Jellypark team! Claire draws some of the sweetest images and I have several already colored and ready to be made into cards, that I cannot wait to share with you all!

Our challenges will be on Fridays and today's challenge is: 

"Old Year/New Year- use items from both your old stash and new to you."

Well for my lovely creation I used this adorable image called "angel fairy nativity" along with 

Authentique Journey papers (thanks Arielle), which are both new to me. For my old, I dug deep in my stash to find this silver ribbon as I am entering this in a challenge using blue/silver/white.  I inked my patterned papers using CTMH Crystal Blue ink and the sentiment is computer generated! Come visit us at the 

Jellypark Challenge Blog to see what the rest of the team had created.
