Hello there! TGIF! Tomorrow is my niece's birthday, and I couldn't resist the chance to use this adorable Pure Innocence cutie on her card! I colored with Copics and paper pieced her dress. I love how it turned out -- bright and fun, just like my niece! :)
I'm going to keep this short -- I'm subbing again today! I hope you have a great day planned! Thanks so much for visiting!
Have a fantastic Friday! :)

Happy Tuesday! It's hard to believe that Thanksgiving is next week! Here's a Turkey Day card I made for my sister-in-law, who is hosting all of us for Thanksgiving dinner. The image and sentiment are from the Fall cling mounted set by American Art Stamp. I colored with Copics and sponged around the image with SU! So Saffron ink. I did some distressing and machine stitching, too.
I wanted to let you know that American Art Stamp is having a "Happy Happy 2009 Holiday" sale right now! Everything is 30% off -- just in time for holiday shopping! :)
Well, that's all for today! Thank you so much for taking the time to visit!
Have a great day!

Happy Monday, everyone! Yesterday was the 15th of the month, and that always means a new Dirty Dozen Gallery at Splitcoaststampers. If you aren't a SCS Fan Club Member, you are missing out on SO much eye candy and inspiration! Anyway, I was beyond thrilled to find out that my MFT Sister, Melody Rupple, is one of the two newest Dirty Dozen members! Woohoo, Melody!! The Fan Club can play along with the DD themes each month, and I couldn't resist this month's theme -- texture! This is my favorite time of year to add texture to my cards!
I used Flurry of Love, one of the new Pure Innocence sets from My Favorite Things, to create this card. *The PI sets have been SO popular, so this set is currently sold out, but it WILL be back in stock soon!*
Here are the ways I added texture to my card:
Cuttlebug snowflake background
Fun Flock (Lily White) on the trim of the hat, coat and boots
Stickles (Frosted Lace) on the snowflakes
Flower Soft (Polar White) on the ground
SU! Felt snowflakes
SU! Felt ribbon
Machine stitching
I also used MFT Adornments crystals and my snowflakes border punch. As you can see, I had a lot of fun adding all of the elements and creating some touchable texture! :)
Well, today is Anna's 8th birthday! I can't believe it! We're taking her out tonight, and we're celebrating with her grandparents on Wednesday. I have some gifts to wrap and a card to finish, so I'd better get busy! Thanks so much for stopping by today!
Have a great day!

Happy Sunday! Today's recipe is super easy and has just three ingredients -- and you can use frozen ravioli!
Baked Ravioli
Jumbo cheese-filled ravioli (refrigerated or frozen), about 30 pieces
26-oz jar pasta sauce
4 oz. shredded Mozzarella cheese
Heat oven to 375. Spread a thin layer of pasta sauce on the bottom of a 9x13-inch baking dish. Place 15 ravioli over the sauce. Top with another layer of sauce and sprinkle with half the cheese. Pat down and repeat layers. Cover loosely with aluminum foil, sealing edges firmly. Bake 1 hour (1 hour 15 minutes if frozen), until cheese is melted and bubbly.
Serve with salad and bread. Enjoy! :)
Have a great day -- don't forget to spend some time around the supper table!
