QKD Royal Wednesday #2: Ornamentally Speaking...

Hey everyone...I'm back w/ that third post I promised ya today! Hope you still have some bloggin' steam left in you :)

Today is the 2nd Royal Wednesday DT challenge over at Queen Kat Designs... this week's challenge was to create an ornament using QKD stamps!

I chose this pretty swirly butterfly (surprised?) from the Friends set and dressed it up with some bling, then created a window using my nestabilities to make a cut-out window with some acetate. My kids LOVED this project and it took hardly any time at all...you could totally mass produce these and give everyone one for Christmas!

Be sure to check out the QKD blog for some other great projects done for today!

Well, I hope you guys had a great Wednesday, it was fun hanging out w/ you all so much today! Be back soon...stay warm!

Ornamentally yours,

Jessica :)

Hey everyone!

I know...I'm back w/ a THIRD post today! WHAT....a whirlwind :)

I'm excited to announce the debut edition of Queen Kat Designs "Royal Wednesdays"! Yep, a fun new round of challenges and we hope you can play along!

This week's challenge was issued by the super-talented Heather to use at least TWO kinds of Ribbon on the card. I chose to use the super cute Sweets and Treats stamp set and love this cupcake image...I also used the Thanks sentiment from the new Thank You's released this past month.

Wanna play? C'mon get to it! Be sure to UL your cards to the QKD gallery and also on PCP or SCS and leave a comment here or on the QKD blog so we know you played along! Happy stamping, everyone!

Fancy Pants for a Queen...

Hey all...

Today's Tuesday post is the third featuring this amazing Fall DP from Fancy Pants...I thought I'd continue w/ my Fall theme for one more day while I focus on trying to keep myself warm during this cold and rainy October weather we've been having!!

That being said, I needed to add a bit of summer to my Fall card LOL! What better way to do this than with this swirly and fun (and definitely whimsical!) butterfly from Queen Kat Designs?

I used the "Friends" set to create this card. In addition to the fun butterfly and cute floral images, I really like the quote that comes with this set. Check out the ENTIRE QKD Store as there are some very good deals right now!

In addition to those good deals, make sure you remember that you can SAVE 10% EVERYDAY! All you have to do is enter my code "DE10" during your checkout and voila! Instant savings so that YOU can own this cute set (amongst many others!) and create something amazing w/ it!

Well, I'll be back soon with a prettie card for a GREAT cause, and I just got some other fun sets in the mail yesterday so stay tuned for some more projects. It is time to bid adieu to this Fancy Pants DP for now...thanks for stopping by and reading what I did w it over the past few days!

I scream...you scream...

I know, I know...it's getting colder out there. But that doesn't mean I love ice cream any less! In fact, now that I got this super cute stamp from Queen Kat Designs, I think I love it MORE!



I just wanted to share this quick card with you that I made using the Build A Sweet stamp set. I used the same sketch layout as I did in the post below. It's so fun to see how different a card can come out when using the same layout, isn't it?


I am POSITIVE that by now you must know I love cupcakes, so this set is TRULY the best of both worlds! You can build your own cupcakes OR ice cream cones...what could be SWEETER than that?



Add a bit of stickles, liquid applique, or liquid pearls and watch any sweets-themed stamp really come to life! That's my tip for the day... anyone else hungry? :)
