Wow It's Twisted Thursday time! So what has everyone been up to this week? Did ya notice my new flashie blinkie that the girls over at shirleys2girls made! Is it just too cool for words???

Here is the fabulous sketch for this week and the TWIST IS...

to PAINT IT RED!!! Use the color red as your primary color on your card!!!

Easy peasy, right!?!? I'm going to show off my card for this week. I used a set from shirleys2girls called I'm Knot (SG505). I love all the Ladies with Attitude stamps! Be sure to check them out HERE. I used neenah classis solar white for my card base and paired that with SU Rose Red. I used black as my accents. The DP is SU that I found in a secret hiding place where I apparently keep hoarding all my DP! So we decided to play with this one! LOL! I used some SU grograin ribbon with a cute prima flower with a button as the center! I even added some sparkle to her ears! I love how this came out and hope you do to!


Need some more inspiration, then you MUST head over to the Ladies With Attitude blogs and check out their marvelous creations! You can also find all the details for this weeks challenge over at the Twisted Thursday Challenge Blog. You could find a FREE stamp set to play along with us. So get on over there!

Twisted Thursday #22 - Let's have some fun!!!

Well it's been a long week and I'm so glad that it's time for TWISTED THURSDAY! This is my favorite day of the week. Well Fridays still rate pretty high on the list!!!! LOL!!! So what has everyone been up to this week? Did ya notice my new flashie blinkie that the girls over at shirleys2girls made! Is it just too cool for words???

Well I know you guys wanna get down to business so here's the scoop for this week. For those that have played with us before you know the drill. For those newbies, WE WELCOME YOU and here are the deets. Below is your sketch to follow this week and each week we combine that with a TWIST.

The TWIST this week is to PUNCH IT! Use any punch on your card!

Sounds pretty simple, huh?! Well now I'm going to show off my card for this week and hopefully get you going so that you play along with us! I used a set from shirleys2girls called Wedding Cake (SG152). This is such an elegant set that I thought it needed to be paired with some white shimmery paper with black accents. For my "punch it" twist I used 3 of my nestability dies; scallop rectangle, regular heart and scallop heart. I added some embossing from my embossing folder called Swirls. For my final touch I added some black organza ribbon and lightly colored in the accents on the cake with a pale pink copic marker (so pale it's hard to see in the photo). I also used a glitter pen on the accents of the cake to make it sparkle. You know me I love to make everything sparkle!

Hope you enjoyed viewing my card! Need some more inspiration, then you MUST head over to the Ladies With Attitude blogs and check out their marvelous creations!

Can you hear me shout...IT"S BELLI TIME!

Well it's Wednesday again. Boy they seem to come and go so fast these days! LOL!
This weeks Belli challenge is to create a card, scrapbook page or project using watercolor markers or crayons. You just can't break out those COPICS! Wow I must say what a challenge this was for me. I didn't realize how hooked I was on my copics!
Our sponsor this week is Peachy Keen Stamps. Boy oh boy do they have some really cutie patootie stamps. So you MUST head over there and take a sneaky peaky!

Summer's almost over so I selected a stamp from Peachy Keen Stamps called Natalee (PK-210). I'm almost ready to make the transition to Fall but heck, the weather here in Texas is still in the 100's so it's hard to think Fall/Halloween/Christmas just yet.

My card base is SU Garden Green paired with a doodlebug DP that I adore! I colored in the leaves and flowers to match the colors that I used. Everything is colored with my SU markers (which I had to blow the dust off of since purchasing my copics). LOL! The sentiment is from inkadinkadoo and is stamped on Summer Sun with basic black SU ink. I added some SU black gingham ribbon and placed Natalee on some dimensional dots! Isn't' she just TOO CUTE!??!!


Ok are ya ready to see some more Peachy Keen stamps and water color cards??? Well let's head on over to the Belli Challenge Blog to see all the lovely Belli Ladies inspirations to get your mojo going. We can't wait to see what you come up with. So come and play with us!

Ready for the TWIST...

Use polka dots!


Here is your sketch to follow. The sketch creation is from our own DT member Joy! Thanks Joy for such an awesome sketch!



I stepped out of my box again and created a 5x5 card for this challenge. I used some polka dot dp that I purchased at Hobbylobby. Matted it with black and one of the new SU in colors called Melon Mambo. It is such a fun fun color. I think this is my new fav color! The card base is SU Certainly Celery. The image is shirleys2girls stamp called Enjoy the View (DG12). The fantastic part is it's a digi stamp. The image is layered with Melon Mambo and Black. I used a rectangle scallop nestie to frame the image. The image is colored with copics and I cut out that cute little birdie and popped him up with a dimensional dot. I love how this turned out and hope you enjoy!

We've updated the challenge a bit and you will have from Thursday until the next Wednesday at 2am CST to post your fabulous creation with Mr Linky over at Shirleys2Girls Challenge Blog.

Belli Challenge DAY - It's Wednesday!

Are ya'll ready for another Belli Challenge? I can't hear you...was that a YES!

This weeks Belli challenge is to create a card, scrapbook page or project using wood. Here is a tutorial on SCS for making faux wood. Click here.

For my card below, I used a stamp from shirleys2girls called Cat on the Fence (SG 603). I am such an animal lover and love these stamps!

My card today is a 5X5. I used some delish DP from Bo Bunny and paired that with SU green galore and SU Close to Cocoa. The card base is white neenah classis solar. The DP was sewn onto the close to cocoa and matted on the white. The green galorie I ran through my cuttlebug with the swiss dots embossing folder. I left a little at the end where I could stamp my sentiment. I created my wood frame using the SCS tutorial. I then paper pieced the fence using the same technique. I colored in my image with my copics and cut out my cat and his paws to give him dimension over the fence! Isn't he just too cute!?!


Head over right now to the Belli Challenge Blog to see all the lovely Belli Ladies inspirations to get your mojo going. We can't wait to see what you come up with. So come and play with us!
