Banner Kiki and Some News!
If you stopped by yesterday, I hinted at a little announcement I'd be making today... check out this pretty new badge I get to display on my blog!!!
I'm so excited to be joining this talened group of ladies! Sketch Saturday has some of the best sketches each week, and to kick off the New Year, they've given the blog a little makeover! Be sure to take a look, and see who else is joining the team with me!
Here is the sketch we are working with this week, designed by Vannessa...
...and our generous sponsor for this sketch is Sir Stampalot. One lucky winner will receive the Marvelous Mouthfuls Dog stamp set.
Now... for my first project as a Saturday Girl!
This week, I've inked up the sweet Banner Kiki La Rue from C.C. Designs. She's colored with Copics, fussy cut, and popped up to be the focal point of the card. The patterned papers are all from My Mind's Eye Sunny 6x6 pad.

Bee My Honey
It's my turn to post over on the Whimsie Doodles Blog today, so I whipped up this clean and simple card using the cute Honey Bee image.
This is about as simple as it gets! She's printed onto Hammermill 80# Color Copy Cardstock, colored with Copics, and I blinged up her wings with a little glitter.
Easy peasy! :)

A Happy Hello!
A happy hello to all of you! I'm back after an unintentional break from blogging... between the chaos of the holidays, and being under the weather for a few weeks, I haven't had much crafty mojo. But, it's a brand new year, and we've got a brand new challenge for you at the Your Next Stamp Challenge Blog!
Here is this month's sketch and inspiration photo...
I've combined the two this time around, and used the adorable Happy Hello Butterfly. She's colored with Copics to match this sweet Doodlebug paper, (which goes nicely with the inspiration photo!) and lots and lots of glitter was added to the wings!

YNS Holiday Hop!
Hello and welcome to a special Your Next Stamp Holiday Hop! We are sharing projects made with YNS Holiday Stamps and Dies to wish our fabulous YNS customers a very happy holiday season! You are sure to find lots of inspiration and some great gift ideas along the way! The hop begins right here on My Blog!
You have from today until Saturday, December 21st at midnight (EST) to hop with us! If you leave a comment on all of the blogs along the hop, you could win a $25 YNS Gift Certificate!!! Karen will announce the winners on the YNS Blog on Sunday, December 22nd.
I've made some little gift card holders for my project today. I'm all about clean and simple right now... this is such a busy time of year, and there's always some last minute wrapping or shopping to do. These gift card holders were easy to whip up!
I used the Merry and Bright Reindeer, and masked off his body so I could stamp just the head. They are colored with Copics, fussy cut, and popped up on the front of the gft card holder.
To make the holder, I cut a piece of cardstock to measure 6 1/2" x 4 1/8", and scored at 1 3/8" and 4 1/8". The smaller flap houses the gift card, and was held in place with a little scor-tape on each side of the pocket.
It is held shut with a pop dot placed underneath the reindeer. Easy peasy!!
Supplies: Hammermill White CS, Recollections Jolly Holiday Patterned Paper, Glitter, Pop Dots, Copics
Copics:
Reindeer - E37, E35, E34, E31
Reindeer - E37, E35, E34, E31
Antlers - E49, E47, E44, E43
Nose - R59, R29, R27, R24, R22
