Happy Saturday!

Hello! I have some fun images to share with you today. They are from C.C.Designs and are available at www.Allthatscraps.com. They can be purchased as rubber stamps or you can buy them digitally. The great thing about the digital stamps is you don't have to wait (instant gratification) and you can print them out in any size! I think they are adorable with a capital A!!

I colored them then cut most of them out & pop dotted them up. The sun & sand castle were cut out with my Cricut & the Doodlecharms cartridge. I used some chalk on the castle to make it stand out more. I also used my glitter pen to add some subtle sparkle. I blushed all their cheeks with chalk. Thanks for stopping by today. I hope you have a great day.

Good Morning. Sorry I have been MIA for a few days. I have just been very busy & unable to post. This card is another Magnolia card. Can you tell I just am in love with Magnolia stamps? You can purchase them at http://www.magnoliastamps.us/. I think they are just so cute! Any how this card is made with the watering can from the Butterfly collection. I stamped it & colored it then cut it out with my nestibilities. I cut out a scalloped circle in green & one slightly larger in the pinky coral color. I adhered this to some background paper I found in my scrap basket. Then I stamped Tilda, colored her & cut her out carefully. I attached her to the watering can with pop dots for dimension. I used a fiskars border punch on the green strip on top. Added a few Prima flowers & a gingham bow. And to finish it off I added some glossy areas on the watering can, leaves & flowers with my Sakura clear glaze pen. Thanks for stopping by today. I hope to get some crafting time in today. Have a good one!

Happy Memorial Day! Sorry I haven't posted in a few days but with the holiday weekend I didn't get to it. Today's card features Tilda with Lilacs from the Butterfly Collection. She is so sweet! I colored her with my copic markers and used my clear glaze pen on the leaves & stems of the lilacs. I used some purple fun flock on the lilacs themselves to make them a little fuzzy.. I cut out my image with the Sizzix Top Note die from Stampin Up. I cut out a purple one as well for the second layer. I trimmed the image just on the edge so the purple one would show. I sponged lilac ink around the edges to soften it up. I added some prima flowers and gems along with some green swirls I cut out with my sizzix. A green gingham bow finishes it off. Thanks for stopping by today. I hope you have a great day. The weather is perfect here..not too hot & not too cold. Nice day for a cookout!

Hello ~ Oh boy is my picture dark! The sun is shining here...supposed to be at least 80 degrees this afternoon so I'm not sure why this picture is so dark. It is a quick, simple card I made last night using these cute owls from Great Impressions. I ran the brown paper through my Big Shot with the circle embossing folder. I used my Tim Holtz ruler to pierce a row of holes on the red paper. I used my clear glaze pen on their beaks, feet & ties. Finished it off with a red gingham bow. Thanks for stopping today. I hope it's a good one for you!

Hi ~ This card was made with a lot of different stamps that I got at the used stamp sale. All from different stands. The hutch was at one stand, the doily at another, etc... It's a tad too tall for Tilda but I just imagine that she is a wee girl in her Grandmother's kitchen. I had fun creating this scene all though it was lots of cutting! Everything you see was cut out. I popped up the jars and the plants for added dimension. Tilda is also popped up. I thought the sentiment could look like a plaque her Grandma had on the wall. Thanks for stopping by today. It is sunny & warm here...looks to be a glorious day!

Good morning stampers! I wanted to take a picture of my card for today & my camera is dead! I'm hoping it just needs new batteries and I don't have any here so....This is a card we made at one of my classes. The card itself was cut out using my Cricut & the Wild card cartridge. The polka dot scalloped circle was cut out with Mini monograms. We stamped & colored the turtle then used some lilac ink to sponge around the edges. We put a chipboard circle under the turtle image to give it just a little dimension. The inside sentiment says : I hope you are back on your feet again real soon. A lime green checked bow was added to finish it off. Thanks for stopping by today. I can't wait to get to my craft area and start creating. We went to a used stamp sale this weekend. It was jam packed with people but I did manage to find some goodies! Then we stopped at 2 stamp stores on the way home. It was a fun day and now I can't wait to start using my purchases. TTFN!

TGIF!!! This is a card made with one of http://www.dustinpike.blogspot.com/ 's digital images. His designs are so cute! You just download it and print it out at the size you want. I paid for this particular image but he does give away free images every Wednesday. This was a simple card. I colored it with my copic markers then colored a second image of the monkeys & elephants. I cut them out & popped them up. I sponged around the whole card with blue ink. Added some clear glaze to their eyes, the nails & the water. We know several people expecting baby boys so I think one of them will be getting this card. Speaking of animals...Yesterday my daughter & I went shopping. I needed to buy a new bathing suit for my water therapy. Every single suit I tried on made me look like a hippo with a tutu on...so depressing! I did end up buying one but it is not a pretty sight! Tomorrow I am going to another used stamp sale. Should be a lot of fun. Have a great day!
