I love how she fits in with the green and brown... my go to colors for man cards.
I love how much of a tom boy she is
even with the painted nails :)

Bombshell Magnets
I have this former student athlete in my life that inspires me to be a better person. She is more like a little sister, and she helped me realize that I am a role model, and there are little eyes watching. I made this magnet for her locker at school, or at home for personal use. I colored her with Prismas and Bic Markers. The shoe is cut out of adhesive paper. Stamps are from Bombshell Stamps: Her name is in Tattoo Font and the Girl is from Girls Ruin.
Yes its a blurry picture. It was taken with my 3 year old cell phone that is on its dying legs... if phones had legs.
And here is my little sis right here from last summer!!! I cant wait to see her in.... a few weeks!!!! ETA up for discussion!

Four wheels... two wheels... inspired me for a masculine card!
Vintage Motorcycle from Bombshell Stamps is defintely outside my comfort zone. I love the look of it, but everytime I look at it, I get discouraged. HOW DO I COLOR THIS SUCKER?! I think I did a tolerable job. I love using browns and greens for a masculine vintage vibe. I was inspired to make this card originally for my boyfriend who loves/likes/owns/doesnt get to ride much Motorcyles. But love this card so much, I might put in my pile of OWH cards. I am sure my boyfriend will understand. ;) You think?
This bike is colored with prismacolor and my new to me SU In color markers that I purchased from my SU Demo Kelly :) Kelly is my former DSS from the lost group on SCS. I no longer had a Demo since two of my friends who were demos in Ukiah were no longer doing it. I chose Kelly!!! If you need any SU stuff and you dont have a demo CHECK HER OUT! plus she is wickedly talented.
Anyway!
This is card # for Masculine May. I wonder if I can keep this up!? I doubt it but I must stay positive. Who knows... maybe more cars and motorcycles will start being used in my craft room!!! :)

I thought this was a gonner
I thought this amazing stamp was lost for ever the other day. I have been looking for it EVERYWHERE! Come to find out, I had stashed it in another one of my Bombshell Stamps sets. I tend to do this a lot!
So! Back to business, after a little hiatus. I have been crafting, just not blogging. Why not start May with a bang with a masculine card.
I love this car from the Hot Rod Collection at Bombshell Stamps. This set is appropriately titled Speed Shop. I was inspired to used this stamp for a card for a friend I have fallen out of touch with who inspires me to promote my craft. He owns a upholstery business, and loves the Vintage car pin up vibe. You may have heard of him on my blog before. His name is Drew!
I used random papers out of my stash, but this beauty has been colored with Prismacolor and Stampin Up markers :) And I couldnt resist using my new Nesties that I got for $5 on clearance at Mikes! :) I call it a good day!

Love and Luck
Here is my take on the Bombshell Stamps March Sketch. It feels like its been forever since I have completed one of the sketches.
Here I used the Love and Luck set, which happens to be the featured set of the month over on the blog!

Wrinkle Free Distress Background
- Non-Stick Craft Sheet or alternative
- Three Different Colors Ranger™ Distress Inks
- Water Mister
- Heat/Embossing Tool
- Shipping tag or cardstock
1) Swipe the inks across the non-stick surface, by lying felt to surface and wipe across. Try not to overlay the inks, as this will contaminate the colors.
2)
Mist the inks with water until small beads form.
3) Lay the paper into the watered ink to pick up color. It is not necessary to twist or turn the paper. Take paper out of ink.
4) Use heat/embossing tool to dry the paper. The paper may curl, but when dry will flatten out.
5) Add more color to the paper by placing in ink again.
6) Dry paper once again with heat tool.
7) Repeat steps 3 and 4 until you have the desired level of color and layers. Remember to dry each layer before repeating.
8) Using the paper just made, complete card.

Bombshell Stamps: Some like it hot
Welcome to the BOMBSHELL STAMPS BLOG HOP!!!
Rise and Shine!! I love this set from Bombshell Stamps. Even more so because she looks like shes ready for summer, and I am one of those people who happen to love the summer time!! The hop theme SOME LIKE IT HOT made me think of this set immediately. Plus, the color yellow. I have a lot of yellow in my crafty arsenal probably because its close to my favorite color ORANGE!!!
I am totally over this winter weather crap! I have to commute 45 minutes each way to work. It definitely cramps my style! So hopefully things improve weather wise SOON!!!
If youre hopping with us in the hop, there is a links below on who is next on your little tour. Be sure to comment on all the stops! If you do, you may get picked to win a PRIZE! So Comment away! There are some lovely projects along the way!!

OWH: Many Thanks
I received a thank you card in the mail the other day from an Airman who thanked me for my cards that I make for OWH. How sweet right? Well this inspired me to start making some Thank you cards for OWH. I dont make Thank yous all too often, but I found a stamp set Ive never used (Notice a trend?). Ive had it for over 7 months, and I havent even open the wrapping.
I also hijacked this paper from my mom. You will notice a lot of this paper in the next few posts. I tried using up the whole sheet on different cards, and tried not to leave big scraps.
Wish me luck!

OWH: Just a note to say Hello
I was crafting at my moms house this week due to me not being able to get to work from the winter storm we just had. (Winter Storm Q if you are curious)... I figured I needed to use some stamps that I havent used.... EVER! I bought this set from Hero Arts at Hobby Lobby this summer. Ive never used it. I know typewriters where a huge trend this summer in the crafting world, so I figured why not actually follow the craft trend and buy it.
THIS IMAGE IS PERFECT FOR OWH CARDS!!!
I hijacked some paper from my mom, since for all of you who know my mom personally... she buys paper, and hoards it. She says she has to let it "age" like her fabric. Well... I think it needed to be used on my cards!!!
I made different cards with this for Operation Write Home. Did you know, that I havent made a single OWH card until Thursday?! Yeah, I am slacking!!!!!

Latte Anya, with a little profanity.
I received this little cutie of a stamp from my best friend Lena. She sent it too me after I made the comment (*CAUTION PLEASE EXCUSE THE FOUL LANGUAGE ABOUT TO BE USED*) "I would paper piece the S*** out of it". Alas, I have yet to paper piece her, but I did stamp with her a lot yesterday. I made this card for Operation write home. I figured she would, be a good help in sending some love home.

Winter Storm Q, thank you for the inkspiration :)
ITS SNOWING!!!
We are under severe winter weather watch with Winter Storm Q. (Great name for a storm right?) We have about 3 inches of snow since about 10 am. It lets up from time to time, but we are about to get some ICE!!! So I figured I would take some time and make a card. I used my much neglected Bombshells. I received this set from my Friend Dawn, over at Sunnyside Up. If you have never seen her blog, you need to. Shes amazing!!! I met her through the former group at SCS, Divine Secret Siblings. :) She is amazing, and full of artistic wisdom!
I hope all is well where you are... I am off to go make something else today!!

Getting Closer to Christmas...
Are you excited?
Most of you know that I made 500 cards for OWH. This is one of the cards.
Is it bad that I dont think I want to make my own cards for Christmas? No worries, I wont go store bought ;) That is just not the card maker way!!!

Veterans Day Card
I always forget what I have, or have not posted... But I do know for a fact. I did post this over at the Bombshell Stamps blog for the Monday Muse featuring the Cherry Bomb set. I made this card for an Airman who I have been keeping in contact with Via OWH. I figured why not make him a really cool bomber style Veterans' Day card right? Well.. HE LOVED IT!!!! It is even one of the cards he actually kept from his tour in Afghanistan. :)

Would you have known.. I even used GLITTERED paper?! No way right?!
Sorry about the way the shirt looks, my Pretty in Pink SU marker is on its death bed. :( I must ask santa for the refills to my markers since they are the only medium I color with besides prisma markers! and that is only in SKIN colors!!!
Oh well..
Also, if youve seen my camera, can you tell him I miss him? My Camera has been missing since my birthday, so I had to scan my card in today. ;) I might just continue to do that!!!
Only 8 more days until Diem's 6th Birthday!!! 10 more days until she is here for CHRISTMAS!!!

Happy Halloween with a Bombshell Blog Hop
HAPPY HALLOWEEN!
Welcome to the Bombshell Stamps blog hop! If youre just starting here, you can complete the blog from here, but I may suggest you start from the very beginning! Starting at the Bombshell Stamps Blog!
I made this card for my Secret Sis. I saw a card to CASE in a old Papercrafts Magazine. I wish I had more shades of paper to make it more gradient, but this will do! I made my own fence, and if you were to look at it up close you can see the squiggles I have drawn on it to give it the wood grain look. The cute little "Hell Cat" is from the "Classic Tattoo" set :) ALSO! in the moon, you can see I used a sakura glitter pen!! yep.. GLITTER! How did I manage to get that on a card ;)
Please continue to hop along, comment for a chance to win some goodies from Bombshell Stamps! Your next stop is to the lovely Glittery Katie's blog for more excitement!
Have a great Halloween!!! BE SAFE!
P.S here is the whole list if you get lost along the way!

Welcome to the Bombshell Stamps blog hop! If youre just starting here, you can complete the blog from here, but I may suggest you start from the very beginning! Starting at the Bombshell Stamps Blog!
I made this card for my Secret Sis. I saw a card to CASE in a old Papercrafts Magazine. I wish I had more shades of paper to make it more gradient, but this will do! I made my own fence, and if you were to look at it up close you can see the squiggles I have drawn on it to give it the wood grain look. The cute little "Hell Cat" is from the "Classic Tattoo" set :) ALSO! in the moon, you can see I used a sakura glitter pen!! yep.. GLITTER! How did I manage to get that on a card ;)
Please continue to hop along, comment for a chance to win some goodies from Bombshell Stamps! Your next stop is to the lovely Glittery Katie's blog for more excitement!
Have a great Halloween!!! BE SAFE!
P.S here is the whole list if you get lost along the way!

Happy Birthday Drew
Happy Birthday to my friend Drew! I always make him cards using Bombshell Stamps! This was the card I made for him for this years birthday.
I used the Cherry Bomb, and Tattoo Font sets from Bombshell Stamps, and colored her in his store's color theme of the Orange and Black.
This is the first time I have ever used the Cherry Bomb set since owning it! Nice little challenge for myself! :)

Birthday card for tayla!
I have been talking it up on Facebook chat with fellow Bombshell Girl, Rachael
about how I need to challenge myself to go outside my comfort zone and
try new things. Things you already know about me is that I despise
glitter! Now I am challenging myself to use a set that I have owned that
NEVER use. I think its been clearly a solid 8-12 months since I have
pulled out either this paper, or the Butterfly Queen set. So why not use them together! Plus it is a nice break from all those Christmas cards I have been making. :)
I made this card for my friend Tayla for her upcoming birthday! She has been getting a lot of tattoos recently that are of the Sailor Jerry Style, and I knew she would love the Butterfly Queen and the Tattoo Font stamps that I used on this card.
I like this card so much I am half tempted NOT to share it with her, and change my name so I could keep it for myself.
Do you have a set or stamp that you rarely pick up? I challenge you lovely Bombshells to pick up that abandoned stamp and get some Ink-spiration!!! :)

Happy Holidays!!
Did you know... there is like 12 weeks until CHRISTMAS?!
Yeah, thanks to my friend who posted on FB about it... I figured I would be able to share some info with you. I know at work we have been selling a lot of the gift sets (ahem--- 50%!!!) of the signatures. Normally $25.00 are now $12.50! and you get a Fragrance mist, lotion and shower gel. Rad right?
Anyway!
I am making a bunch of cards for OWH. I have a goal of 500, and as of 3 days ago!!! I AM SHY BY 50!!! No worries, I have time! But I need to get them out soon!! My shipper will be proud, as they are all labeled, stamped and tucked accordingly!!

OWH Blog Hop: Celebrating World Cardmaking day!
| Stampabilities Stamp, SU Sticker, Paper Studio paper |
This day may be my favorite holiday ever!!!! (Besides Halloween!!)
Thank you for hopping with us today!! Operation Write Home has become such a wonderful outlet for me. I get to share my talents with people and they can use it to make their friends and family know that they are thinking of them while they are away on their duties.
Because of OWH I have met so many amazing people, and created such amazing friendships that I will love forever. Enough of the sappy stuff.
