Hello Hello!
Today is Tips & Tricks Thursday over on the Skipping Stones Design blog and yours truly is the hostess:)
I used one of my favorite Skipping Stones Design sets....Funny Coffee vol #1.
Here's Kazan's sketch that inspired me:
Have a spectacular day!
This is the end product...are you curious about what might be inside? You'll have to pop over to the Skipping Stones Design blog to take a peek at the inside of this card...
All the patterned paper/stickers are from one of my favorite Basic Grey's, Figgy Pudding. The base is PTI kraft, the ribbon is from Stampin' Up. The cup & saucer are on glue dots and the steam is ala ZVA.
I do have some other cards to share with you today...first up is this Cosmo Cricket'licious one:
I shared a pic of my yo yo flowers earlier this week and knew that I wanted to use it for a couple of challenges. All the patterned paper is Cosmo Cricket Early Bird and the Fabric is from the same line. The sentiment is by SRM. A couple things, this is actually a sympathy card...going to a sweet gal who recently lost her father...she's a quilter so I knew that I wanted to add the yo yo to it and who says that all sympathy cards need to be 'controlled'..kwim? I want to make her smile...
The other thing is that I wanted to thank all of you that took the time to vote for me in Cosmo Cricket's November Honorary Guest DT. I really appreciate it and although I didn't make the top 5, I'm okay with that. I feel that things happen for a reason and I'm not ready to be a part of that team...yet:) I'm a persistent whipper snapper though...and my love for Cosmo Cricket will always be strong:)
My inspiration for this card is from Sasya's sketch 33:
I'm also entering this into Yvonne's Guest Blogger Challenge given by my buddie Sherry! It is to incorporate a handmade flower. Thanks for the fun challenge ladies!
Are you still with me? Thanks for getting this far in my mondo long post!
All the Nerdy goodness is from Torendi! I picked up the Sassafras Nerdy Bird Journal Tags at the Torendi Shop! I also used Stampin' Up Green Galore cardstock and the scalloped edge is a Nerdy Bird Cardstock sticker that I actually backed with the same pattern...so when you open it up, the rainbow print is on the interior too! I added the bling for an extra pop of color and to mirror the colors in the rainbow:)

Okie dokie...just one last thing! The latest and greatest Flashback Friday 4.0 is posting tomorrow morning...I have another fabbie sponsor and I hope that you'll join in the fun!
Have a spectacular day!
