You're Groovy

Hello, Friends!
It's that time again! I'm back with Deconstructed Sketch #54!

For this week's sketch I've used one of the outrageously adorable stamps from Some Odd Girl. This is 70's Kaylee (don't you just LOVE those moccasins?? I totally had a pink pair) and I've paired her with a mash up of papers from My Mind's Eye and Basic Grey. The ribbon is from SU and the sentiment is from MFT.

I hope that you will join us this week for sketch 54! And be sure to visit all the Sketch Girls to see how they've used this week's sketch. Have a great weekend!

Sweet November Stamps

Just For You

Hello, Friends! I hope your Thursday is off to a great start!
It's that time again! Are you ready to join in on the fun for Deconstructed Sketch #53?
I hope you'll say yes, because it's another FAB sketch! I love ALL the sketches, but this one was super fun for me. I think I've decided that there's just something I love about using both circles and rectangles in a layout.

For this week's sketch I'm continuing my renewed love affair with the TGF Creeper Crew ...it's been far toooooo long since I've inked up my Creepers! This is Creeper Tyler and I've paired him with these AWESOME papers that a dear friend of mine sent me for my bday. I also jazzed up my card with buttons from Basic Grey, some dry embossing from my Cuttlebug and diamond Stickles on the face of the bass. Now Tyler's ready to ROCK ON!

I hope that you will join us this week for sketch 53! And be sure to visit all the Sketch Girls to see how they've used this week's sketch. Have a great weekend!

Embrace Happiness

Happy Monday!
I'm back with another super fun challenge over at The Pink Elephant!
This week TPE#149 is called Buttons Galore and I have a craft rooms FULL of buttons, so I could not be more ready! All you have to do is create your card or project and include as many buttons as you'd like, and then link back to the TPE blog.

For my card today I've used a super fun stamp from the Kraftin Kimmie Moonlight Whisper line, called Angie. I've been hoarding a few KK stamps, so when a friend said that they were some of her favorites, I was excited to get this one out and inked up! I chose the "embrace happiness" sentiment from PTI, because, really, when isn't a cup of coffee pure morning bliss? :)
The papers I've used for this fun card are from My Mind's Eye and the buttons are from Basic Grey.

Thanks so much for stopping by today and I hope that you'll join in on the fun this week over at The Pink Elephant Challenge Blog! Be sure and check out all the amazing inspirations that Ella's Girls have for you!

Hello, Friends! I hope your Thursday is off to a great start!
It's that time again! Are you ready to join in on the fun for Deconstructed Sketch #52?
I hope you'll say yes, because it's another FAB sketch!

For this week's sketch I've decided to get into my TGF Creeper Crew stash...it's been far toooooo long since I've played with one of these cuties! This is Creeper Madden and I've paired her with papers and buttons from Basic Grey Konnichiwa (I think this is my new favorite paper!), ribbon from Amuse Studio and sentiment from There She Goes. Oh and it's hard to see in the picture, but Madden's sneakers and t-shirt sparkle with Stickles! Yay! I do love me some sparkle! :)

I hope that you will join us this week for sketch 52! And be sure to visit all the Sketch Girls to see how they've used this week's sketch. Have a great weekend!

Deconstructed Sketch 51

Hi Friends! I hope your Thursday is off to a great start!
We're back with Deconstructed Sketch #51 this week. It's hard to believe the we just surpassed 50 sketches!! WOW! Haven't you looked forward to every week just as much as the last?? I know I have!!

For this week's sketch I've used stamps from a fantastic set at There She Goes stamps, called My Little Friend (designed by Torico). I fell in love with this set the moment I first saw it and I have just been itching to get inky with it! This sketch proved to be the perfect layout for one of these little guys! I've colored these stamps with Copics and paired them with papers from October Afternoon and twine and button from PTI. It's hard to tell in the photo, but the card is on a white cardstock base. :)

I hope that you will join us this week for sketch 51! And also please join us in welcoming our super cool Guest Designer for the month of May, Judy Rozema!! Be sure and visit all the Sketch Girls to see how they've used this week's sketch. Have a great weekend!

For Mom

Happy Monday!
I'm back with another super fun challenge over at The Pink Elephant!
This week TPE#147 is to celebrate Mom! All you have to do is create your card or project with Mom in mind and then link back to the TPE blog.

Well, it just so happens that I was all set with this theme last week and so I have a few more cards for you that celebrate Mother's Day and this challenge! For both cards I've embossed the sweet Happy Mother's Day sentiment from Amuse Art Stamps and punched out some shapes with Nestabilities. The papers for card one are from My Mind's Eye and Stampin' Up for the second. The flowers for both cards are from Prima and twine for card one is Martha Steward crafts, while the ribbon for card two is Papertrey Ink.
The second card is also a CASE of a card I saw on Pinterest, created by the awesome Julee Tilman for The Verve. :)

Thanks so much for stopping by today and I hope that you'll join in on the fun this week over at The Pink Elephant Challenge Blog! Be sure and check out all the amazing inspirations that Ella's Girls have for you!

Sweet November Elsie

Hi Friends!
Welcome to Day 2 of Sweet November Stamps Sneak Peeks!
I'm so excited because I have the honor of sharing a few previews with you this week for the May release of Sweet November stamps at All That Scraps!

Today's preview is of Elsie! Artist Amy Young has outdone herself once again in coming up with a fresh new style of stamps for her Sweet November line and Elsie is joining Tilly (shown yesterday) as another beauty you're getting to see this week!

For Elsie's card I wanted to do some patterned paper mixing, as well as play with some fun shapes. I've used papers from My Mind's Eye, ribbon and sentiment from SU, button from Basic Grey and Elsie is colored up with Copic markers.

You'll be able to purchase Elsie and all of the May stamps at All That Scraps on Thursday, May 3rd at 8am CST. Until then enjoy the rest of the sneak peeks!!

Thank you to Amy and Marion and Nancy for allowing me to tag along this month! Be sure to stop by their blogs and leave some love, as well as the All That Scraps site...there just may be a SNS stamp up for grabs!

Sweet November Tilly

Hi Friends!
Happy May Day!
I'm so excited because I have the honor of sharing a few previews with you this week for the May release of Sweet November stamps at All That Scraps!

Today's preview is of Tilly! Artist Amy Young has outdone herself once again in coming up with a fresh new style of stamps for her Sweet November line and Tilly is just one of the beauties you'll get to see this week!

I decided that instead of using patterned papers for my card, I would create my own garden for Miss Tilly using some fun dandelion stamps I had in my stash. And then, as I was racking my brain for what sentiment would finish this card off perfectly, I decided that one that used "grateful" couldn't have been more appropriate! I love it when that works out :)

You'll be able to purchase Tilly and all of the May stamps at All That Scraps on Thursday, May 3rd at 8am CST. Until then enjoy the rest of the sneak peeks!!

Thank you to Amy and Marion and Nancy for allowing me to tag along this month! Be sure to stop by their blogs and leave some love, as well as the All That Scraps site...there just may be a SNS stamp up for grabs!

(dandelion and sentiment stamps are Papertrey Ink)
