<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; line-height: 1.22em;"><span style="line-height: 1.22em;">Hey all! Surprise! It's been awhile, but I'm excited to be joining <b><a href="http://www.susanascustomartandcarddesign.com/">Susana's Custom Art and Card Designs</a></b> today to introduce some fabulous new images! SCACD celebrates today a newly released exclusive rubber stamp set <b>Eclectic Sea</b> (9 rubber stamps all together). The <b>Eclectic Sea</b> is a twist of sorts in how something land bound might be seen in the ocean; for example a Sunflower that is now a Coral Sea Flower and vice a versa. So check out the collection as these are really unique and elegant. <b>SCACD Artist Carmen Medlin</b> and <b>Susana</b> collaborated on the images and we are so happy to be showcasing them to you now :D</span></span></div>

Hey, all! Remember me? Let me just knock the cobwebs off my blog...brush away the dust...scrape away the rust...there, that's a bit better. Bet you thought I had forgotten. Not quite, however, life has kept me busy, so I don't get to break out the stamps and ink all that frequently anymore. Makes me a little sad, but luckily in December, I was invited to create some cards for <b>Art Impressions</b> to take to CHA. Well, color me delighted, of course I said yes. Plus I got to play with these beautiful brand new vintage images and now I get to share the cards with you. And that makes me happy, very happy :)<br />
<br />
Visit the <b><a href="http://artimpressionsstamps.blogspot.com/">Art Impressions blog</a></b> and you'll find my cards featured today, plus take a look around, because the DT is crazy talented and they post daily so there is always LOTS of eye candy and inspiration to be found. You can find ALL of these lovely images in the <b>Art Impressions Online Shop <a href="http://www.artimpressions.com/ListProds.asp?Cat=+++++++++++++++WHATS+NEW%3F&SubCat=Ai+Vintage">HERE</a></b>.<br />
<br />
I cannot stress to you how much fun these were to color. They pair so well with Copics and are particularly perfect for featuring sepia coloring techniques. The first 3 struck me as whimsical retro images, so I tried to pick color palettes that made me think of the moms from all of my favorite family sitcoms I used to watch in the mornings as kid, before heading out the door to school. Leave it to Beaver, Hazel, I Love Lucy...they may have been filmed in black and white, but I imagine if I could have lived inside those reruns, there would have been cotton candy hues of pink, aqua, yellow, and blue bouncing off of every surface in every room.<br />
<br />
To me, the last 3 are more on the vintage spectrum. The 4th one, I decided to just go with some of my favorite colors, but for the bottom 2, I played with sepia tones. I made these cards a while back and forgot to jot down my exact colors, but I will try to add them to the photos over the next couple of days, so if you're interested in the Copic colors I used, please check back. <br />
<br />
Thanks so much for stopping by today. Pop back in next week and I'll have something new to share with you :)<br />

<b><span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The other stamp I got to play with is Bee Ware from the Eclectic Collection #2. The cool thing about Bee Ware is that it not only comes in rubber, but it's also available as a digi. How cool is that! This sounds strange, but my recommendation is get them both. Yep, you heard me right. I'm very tactile, so I LOVE the feel of the high quality, deep etched rubber that Susana offers, but I also LOVE the versatility of a digi, too. Make it bigger, make it smaller, it's awesome!

Hey, friends! How have the holidays been treating you? I must admit I LOVE Christmas, but I am just as happy to see it go as I am to see it arrive. The New Year is just around the corner and holds promises of new beginnings and fresh starts. I don't get into the whole resolution thing, but the idea of a fresh start sounds mighty good right about now, that being said through a mouthful of sugar cookies and an eggnog chaser. ***burp***</div>

I don't know what 2015 holds for me, but I do know that I would like to make more time for card making. I have more or less been on hiatus for the past few months and although that was a lovely break, I miss playing in my studio. Time to get inky again! </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I recently dusted off some of my supplies and created a card for the <b><a href="http://www.simonsaysstampblog.com/">Simon Says Stamp Blog.</a> </b> I'm guest designing for them today and they asked me for a card featuring one of my favorite word stamps. I immediately grabbed an <b>Art Impressions</b> set (<b><a href="http://www.simonsaysstamp.com/product.aspx?id=110272">Under My Umbrella</a></b>) and went to work. Here's what I wrote for the Simon Says Stamp Blog...</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="">
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;"><i>Sometimes the sentiment makes the card and that’s why I love that Art Impressions adds 2-3 really great word stamps to each of their sets. This particular sentiment is one of my absolute favorites and can almost stand alone. I started to do that here, however, I couldn’t resist those sweet Girlfriends and ended up adding the image, as well. I did hold back a bit on the coloring and left a lot of the image white in order to make the sentiment the star of the card. I added just enough color to give the card a finished appearance. </i></span></div>
<div class="">
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;"><i><br class="" /></i></span></div>
<div class="">
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;"><i>Pretty much everything that Art Impressions offers is fabulous including their sentiments, however, the Girfriends stamps have a special place in my heart. They remind me so much of my wonderfully wacky group of gal pals. Each set includes just the right words, from silly to serious, to convey exactly what I want to say and you just can’t beat that.</i></span></div>

Hey all! Back today sharing a card and I am so honored to be featured on the <b><a href="http://www.simonsaysstampblog.com/">Simon Says Stamp blog!</a></b> For this card I used a fabulous set by <b><a href="http://www.simonsaysstamp.com/product.aspx?id=301551">Art Impressions called Cake Popper.</a></b> Simon Says Stamp carries a large assortment of Art Impressions images along with an ocean of paper crafting supplies. If you visit their <b><a href="http://www.simonsaysstamp.com/">site</a></b>, prepare to leave a few shekels behind :)<br />
<br />
Here's a little write up I shared with them regarding my card...<br />
<br />
<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px;">
Every time I need a special card, I check my stash of stamps and Art Impressions always stands out with the perfect image and sentiment. I particularly love their Ai Girlfriend and Ai People lines and find that I know the folks featured in their designs! AND sometimes that someone is me ;) Though I don’t have blond hair, I feel like I could easily be the over zealous gal on my card. I love to celebrate and that love is only surpassed by my love of cake…LOL! Ai images can’t help but make people smile, so I have a tendency to use fun, bright colors when using them :) Their bold size takes up most of the landscape on a standard A2 card (4 14” x 5 1/2”), but that’s ok because they’re so quirky and perfectly detailed that they don’t need too much else to finish them off. </div>

I'm back today with a not so quick post. I was tagged by a friend to participate in a <b>Progressive Blog Hop</b>. I know, it was new to me, too. I had never heard of a hop like this one, but the more I read about it, the more I liked it. In a nutshell, it helps celebrate creativity and encourages folks to visit blogs that might be new to them. <br />
<br />
I was honored to be tagged in this hop by <b>Alaine Medio</b> of <a href="http://missalaineousmosaics.blogspot.com/"><b>MissAlaineous' Mosiacs</b> </a>on her lovely blog last Monday. <b>Alaine</b> is a top notch cardmaker and artist. She possesses mad coloring skills and knows her way around the Copic color chart. I met <b>Alaine</b> when I joined the <b>Bombshell Stamps</b> design team and fell in love with her work there. As of late, I've been admiring her fantastic steampunk projects. You really must check out her <b><a href="http://missalaineousmosaics.blogspot.com/">blog</a></b>, I insist.<br />
<br />
First, I'm supposed to answer a few questions:<br />
<br />
<b>1. What am I working on?</b><br />
<br />
Over the years, I have been blessed with the opportunity to work with some of the finest design teams in the stamping world. Recently I stepped down from all of my teams and now I'm able to work on projects without boundaries and without a specified timeline. I'm also able to play when I'm invited to participate in special hops or releases. My other passion is cooking and now I can spend more time blogging on my husband's food blog. You can visit me at <a href="http://www.albukirky.com/"><b>AlbuKirky BBQ and Other Stuff</b> </a>when you don't find me here.<br />
<br />
Here's a couple of my last design team cards that I haven't shared on my blog until now...<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEggrat2r0Kv3cU2SNDqYlawTVJ7gbPNMpcLeyxvOCujDqNAQNXHX-l5XKMxV5gCUWdkXFpFMCB1JWLIOQoLUHQd_ApD2gbjfIm2T5UidTGQCGsvz3acuq56Xi0d0RF84ERfbTJr1RsbYw6w/s1600/IMG_4071.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEggrat2r0Kv3cU2SNDqYlawTVJ7gbPNMpcLeyxvOCujDqNAQNXHX-l5XKMxV5gCUWdkXFpFMCB1JWLIOQoLUHQd_ApD2gbjfIm2T5UidTGQCGsvz3acuq56Xi0d0RF84ERfbTJr1RsbYw6w/s1600/IMG_4071.jpg" height="640" width="640" /></a></div>
<br />
<br />
<b>2. How does my work differ from others in its genre?</b><br />
<br />
I'm not sure how different it is, but I do love color, lots and lots of vibrant color. I am drawn to intense color palettes and want my colors to almost glow. <br />
<br />
<b>3. Why do I create what I do?</b><br />
<br />
16 or so years ago, I discovered card making. I've never been artistic, but card making made me feel like I was. I fell in love with the process.<br />
<br />
<b>4. How does my creative process work?</b><br />
<br />
My creative process is all over the place. It might start with a Copic color combo I want to work with, a new patterned paper, or a stamp image that strikes my fancy. I do have a tendency to color my image first and then find paper to match afterwards, which occasionally bites me in the butt, but I keep lots of black and white patterned paper on hand, which tends to go with just about everything. I also have a layering cheat I follow...I only layer with black and/or kraft solids. No need to get matchy matchy and they instantly give my projects a slightly vintage feel. <br />
<br />
Okay, enough about me...part of what keeps this hop moving forward is tagging new folks each week and the 2 ladies I tagged are near and dear to me. First of all, they both immediately agreed to do this hop on a moments notice and I greatly appreciate that.<br />
<br />
<b>Jenny Peterson of <a href="http://mylittlestampinspot.blogspot.com/">My Little Stamping Spot</a> -</b> What can I say about <b>Jenny</b> other than she is the absolute bomb! She's funny and talented. Her sense of humor keeps me in stitches and her coloring and card making abilities are off the charts. AND she has the most beautiful family! She's ridiculously awesome, and I insist that you do yourself a favor and visit her blog.<br />
<br />
<b>Sharon Caudle of <a href="http://grammashouseofcards.blogspot.com/">Gramma's House of Cards</a> -</b> <b>Sharon</b> is one of the sweetest folks you will ever encounter in blogland. She's an absolute doll! When perusing <b>Sharon's</b> beautiful projects, you immediately notice the vibrant coloring and lush layers, but you pick up on Sharon's sense of humor with her clever and quirky use of sentiments. Plus, check out Sharon's perfect bows! They make me green with envy!<br />
<br />
Thanks so much for stopping by today and be sure to stop by <b>Jenny's</b> and <b>Sharon's</b> blogs next Monday to keep this hop going. I'll close with a few of my favorite past projects. <br />

Hello all! Welcome back! Today I'm sharing a card for Bellarific Friday at Stamping Bella. This time we were asked to create a card using this inspiration pic you see above. Immediately I was drawn to the colors on her vivid dress so that was the direction I went in. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I used <b><a href="http://www.stampingbella.com/product_info.php?products_id=8542">Uptown Girl Faith the Fairy.</a></b> You can find her in the <b><a href="http://www.stampingbella.com/index.php">Stamping Bella Shop</a></b> along with all her sassy Sistahs.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Be sure to visit <b><a href="http://stampingbella.com/blog/">Blogabella</a></b> so you can feast your eyes on the glorious creations from the design team. So much wonderful stuff to see!</div>
<br />
Speaking of design teams...I have decided to take the Summer off. My husband and I own a small BBQ Sauce and Spice Rub business, <b><a href="http://www.albukirkyseasonings.com/">AlbuKirky Seasonings,</a></b> and when the weather gets warm that's our time to shine. Grilling/smoking season is in peak swing right now so we are up to our barbecue aprons in pork butts, ribs, briskets, chicken, and anything else you can toss onto hot coals, or into a smoker box. Kirk has been demoing at as many stores as he can and we've been hitting the local <b><a href="http://www.railyardsmarket.org/">Rail Yard Market</a></b> every Sunday to sell our wares. This weekend he'll be at a video shoot for <b><a href="http://disc-it.com/">Disc It.</a><span id="goog_2123827873"></span><span id="goog_2123827874"></span><a href="https://www.blogger.com/"></a></b> A Disc-It is like an outdoor cooking wok and we LOVE ours. Anything you can cook on top of the stove, you can cook outside on a <b><a href="http://disc-it.com/">Disc It. </a></b>Needless to say, I'll be blogging a lot more on his cooking blog. You see, the one thing I love more than Copics, paper, stamps, buttons, ribbon, etc...is cooking, particularly baking bread. There is no better feeling than sitting down with family and friends and sharing a meal that you created from scratch with them. It's a culinary love letter letting them how important they are to you. <br />
<br />
I'll be popping in from time to time with a card, but probably not with any regularity. When Summer fades and gives way to cooler weather you may see me apply for some teams, but in the meantime you'll find me in the kitchen :) Visit me at <a href="http://www.albukirky.com/"><b>AlbuKirky Seasonings, the Blog.</b> </a> <br />

Hey all! Back today with a new challenge at <b><a href="http://artimpressionsstamps.blogspot.com/">Art Impressions</a></b>...Sequins! At first, I wasn't even sure I had sequins to play with, but then I remembered the heart shaped tin where I collect all the stray buttons from blouses. You know, the ones the clothing manufacturer attaches in a tiny plastic bag to the blouse in case one of the other buttons tries to flee for greener pastures. Well, sometimes instead of buttons, they include a tiny bag of replacement sequins if the blouse has some sequined details on it. Woo hoo! I had sequins! And the tiny bag was the perfect amount, almost like a singe serve portion of sequins :)</div>

Hey all! Back today with a card I should have posted for <b><a href="http://stampingbella.com/blog/">Bellarific Friday</a></b>, but I lost track of time so you're getting a Monday card instead. As I'm typing this up, I noticed that I also forgot to color the label on the wine bottle. Oh dear, this card is just a comedy of errors. <br />
<div>

Last week we were tasked with using a sketch. I'm a big fan of sketches so that worked out perfectly. I decided to use <b><a href="http://www.stampingbella.com/product_info.php?products_id=8541">Uptown Girl Opal the Optimist</a></b> 'cuz she's a Glass Half Full kind of gal ;) You can find Opal in the <b><a href="http://www.stampingbella.com/index.php">Stamping Bella Shop.</a></b> And while you're there visiting, be sure to stop by <b><a href="http://stampingbella.com/blog/">Blogabella</a></b> for a full gander at what the DT is up to. </div>

Okey dokey artichoke, that's it for me. Until next time, stay crafty! </div>

Hey, all! Welcome back! Today is <b><a href="http://stampingbella.com/blog/">Bellarific Friday at Stamping Bella</a></b> and we were tasked with a super hard challenge this week...create a one layer card! YIKES!<br />
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Actually, I went into this with a plan. My strategy was to use a really large image that would primarily fill the card, then I wouldn't be tempted to fill the empty space with layers and embellishments. Simple, right? Yeah, right. I decided to use <b><a href="http://www.stampingbella.com/product_info.php?products_id=8353">Uptown Girls Belinda and Bernadette-Bench Buddies,</a></b> a large-ish image, that would take up most of my A2 card. I stamped the image, but noticed when ink hit the paper, it was a teeny bit askew. Oh, well, I knew I could straighten it up when I trimmed the panel down to fit my card base. No biggie. When it came time to start trimming, I miscalculated a skosh and when I finally got everything evened out, I was aghast to see that I was left with a minuscule 3 7/8 x 3 7/8" panel. Ouch! Worst part was, I couldn't fudge it by adding bigger layers of patterned paper. Nope! It's a one layer card, no wiggle room there! Anywhoo, my final card is 4 x 4". It's not even large enough to accommodate the sentiment that came with this lovely set. Sheesh. LOL! </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>

Hey, all! Back today with post number two! (Scroll down for the the first one.) This one also features a card I created using an Art Impressions image, but this time it's for Simon Says Stamp. <b><a href="http://www.simonsaysstamp.com/product.aspx?id=302605&c=0">Simon Says Stamps</a></b> carries a boatload of Ai images in their shop! <br />
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Head to the <b><a href="http://www.simonsaysstampblog.com/blog/laughed-so-hard-i-had-tears-running-down-my-legs/">Simon Says Stamps blog</a></b> to find lots more details regarding this card, but here's a little write up I gave them to accompany it:</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
"<span style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px;">Art Impression images lend themselves perfectly to lots of vibrant coloring. Whether your tools of choice are alcohol markers, watercolors, or pencils these whimsical characters just beg to have their personalities amped up with added hues. My color weapons of choice are Copic markers. Using a standard A2 size (4 1/4” x 5 1/2”) layout, I kept my card simple and let this fabulous new Ai image, Laughing Girlfriends set, take center stage. Not only is the image wonderful, but the 3 sentiments included in the set are absolutely hilarious! My favorite, however, is “I laughed so hard, I had tears running down my legs!” I LOVE that! These two gals are having such a great time I reached for very bold and bright colors to reinforce their joy :)" </span><br />
<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px;">
<br /></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;">Okay dokey! I better start my day ;) <span style="font-size: 12px;"> </span></span></div>

Hola! Post number two for today! I'm sharing this card on the Art Impressions Blog and it features a snazzy set called the <b><a href="http://www.artimpressions.com/Product.asp?Sku=4373&ProductName=Birthday+Hat+Set">Birthday Hat Set.</a></b> Perfect for all your stylish friends who have birthdays coming up. <br />
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
I'm afraid I wouldn't be able to pull off the same elegance of the darling lass on my card. Mainly because I would not have the opportunity to wear my birthday cake as a hat because I would have eaten it...LOL! </div>

Hey, all! Welcome back! Big news for me this month. I'm the guest designer at <b>Bombshell Stamps </b>for the month of June. <b>Bombshell Stamps</b> are near and dear to me as they were one of the very first stamp companies I fell head over heels in love with. They were also the very first Design Team I was invited to join and I spent a lovely year with them. What an honor it is to be asked to join them this month. PLUS, many of the same beautiful ladies I started with are still on the DT and I'm proud to call them my friends. I'm sending out a BIG kiss to all of them...MWAH! </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Since I'm the guess designer this month I get the honor of setting the theme. Those folks who know me well can sort of guess the theme I picked. I won't keep you in suspense...it's <b>Getting Skully! </b> YEP! It's easy to join the fun, just add a skull to your project in some way, shape or form and you've got it. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I have use this set over and over again. It. Is. My. Favorite. Unfortunately, this set has been retired, but I was too caught up in the joy of using this set again that I failed to check and see if it was still available on the <b><a href="http://www.bombshellstamps.com/rubberstamps.html?sortBy=default&tagIds=10155&minPrice=&maxPrice=&action=Filter">Bombshell Stamps website. </a></b> OOF! Big mistake! Fortunately, if you visit the site, you'll find LOTS of other fabulous skull theme images, so all is not lost. Swing by the <b><a href="http://www.bombshellstamps.com/rubberstamps.html?sortBy=default&tagIds=10155&minPrice=&maxPrice=&action=Filter">shop</a></b> and pick out something skully and join my challenge this month. You'll have fun. Promise. </div>

Hey, all! Today <a href="http://artimpressionsstamps.blogspot.com/"><b>Art Impressions</b> </a>is launching brand new <b><a href="http://www.artimpressions.com/Product.asp?Sku=4452&ProductName=Messy+House+TF">Try Fold Stamp Images!</a></b> Have you ever played with this type of stamp? They are so much fun, particularly if you like to color. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
They are designed to be used with a 5 1/4 x 11 inch sheet of card stock scored into thirds. Images are then stamped onto the card stock, colored, then folded to create a scene. I opted to do mine a little different. Copic ink has a tendency to saturate the Neenah Classic Crest paper I use, creating quite a bit of bleed through on the back. Instead, I opted to cut the panels out of the Neenah and mount them to a heavier linen laid card base. It worked out pretty well and gave me a substantial card.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
