Anything But A Card

Hi Friends!
Happy Tuesday!
Are you up for another Sparkle Creations Challenge?
This week the SCRS challenge #58 is to create anything but a card; using any Sparkle Creations stamp!

So, for my card I've used the Karber Stamp, Reading Millie and created a bookmark! I thought she would be super cute and very appropriate for this type of project. Plus, I was in desperate need of a cute page marker! :)

The papers I've used are from the Bo Bunny, Vicki B Collection. The ribbons are American Crafts and Amuse. The butterfly is Martha Stewart Crafts and I've thrown in a few Nesties too. Oh, and Millie is colored with Copics.

I hope you'll play along with us this week. As always there's a free stamp up for grabs to one lucky winner!

Be sure and pop over to the SCRS blog to see the awesome DT samples! Have a SUPER COOL day!

The Purple Dragon

Hi Friends!
Welcome back to another awesome Thursday challenge for the Deconstructed Sketch!
This week we're at Sketch 16 and I've got a fun little card for you that almost follows the sketch. :)

This adorable little dragon is Fergus with Tulips from Wild Rose Studio Stamps and the Paper is Pixie-licious from Cosmo Cricket. As I began coloring this little guy, I realized that I just had to color him purple and dedicate this card to my little sister. As it turns out, there is a cherished mythical, mysterious, and magical purple dragon from our childhood and it's a fun little something something that we share together, often reminiscing about. So, Em, this card's for you! xoxo

Thanks so much for stopping by today and I hope you'll play along with us! Be sure to check out what the Sketch Girls have for you over at the DSC Blog!!
And guess what...it's almost that time again, next week will be a sponsored challenge, so be sure and mark your calendar! Who do you think will be the featured stamp company?

You Inspire Me

Hi Friends!
It's Wednesday and I'm back with a long awaited Claudia and Company Inspiration card!

We took the summer off from challenges, but are getting ready to gear up for the start of fall and welcoming in all the new papers to play with!

So, I've got a card made with Little Miss Mia to showcase the 'Geek is Chic' papers from Imaginisce. I also included a bit of that fab Lime Twist baker's twine from MME. I hope you like it!

Primary Colors

Hi Friends!
Happy Tuesday!
Are you up for another Sparkle Creations Challenge?
This week the challenge is to create a card or project using any Sparkle Creations stamp and the three primary colors of red, yellow and blue.

So for my card I've used Cruisin' Chloe and of the three primary colors, I just had to choose YELLOW for the car! My very first car was a '76 yellow, convertible, VW Bug. Ahhhh, the memories. :)

I wanted to keep this card pretty simple, so that I could draw attention to the focal colors, so I've only used one patterned paper and it's from Echo Park. The ribbon is Real Red from SU and the sentiment is PTI. I also did a tad bit of scoring on the white cardstock and colored the immie with Copics. And that's all for this week's SCRS 57 challenge card!

I hope you'll play along with us this week. As always there's a free stamp up for grabs to one lucky winner. AND all Oliver stamps are on sale this month!

Also, there's more than one way to get your hands on some Sparkle Creations stamps this week...

Bundle of Joy

Hi Friends!
Welcome back to another awesome Thursday challenge for the Deconstructed Sketch!
This week we're at Sketch 15 and I've got an adorable new release from By LORi Designs for you!

This little famly, with the bundle of joy (available in the Family Blessings Bundle for a limited time at BLD), reminded me of my little brother and his wife, who just had their first baby 2 weeks ago. So I made this card with them in mind. I've paired this BLD stamp with papers from October Afternoon, a jumbo eyelet from WeRMemory Keepers and Ribbon from American Crafts. Oh, and the sentiment is from PTI.

Thanks so much for stopping by today and I hope you'll play along with us! Be sure to check out what the Sketch Girls have for you over at the DSC Blog!! LORi Boyd, the artist of this FAB stamp, just happens to be a Sketch Girl too ;)

Getting Sketchy with SCRS56

Hi Friends!
Happy Tuesday! Are you having a good week?
I'm excited because I get to share another Sparkle Creations Challenge card with you today!
This week the challenge is to create a card or project using a Sparkle Creations stamp and inspired by the sketch below. Check out the SCRS Blog for a full size, printable version of this sketch.

So for my card I decided to use the newly released (and SUPER CUTE) Soda Jenny.
I've paired Jenny with papers from Bo Bunny (can you believe I didn't say MME! okay...there's a little itty bit of MME in there too) and used Amuse Ribbon and Jewel Dots for embellishments. There's also a bit of Clear Spica for some sparkle, but the camera doesn't pick it up. Oh, and the sentiment comes with Soda Jenny.

I hope you'll play along with us this week. As always there's a free stamp up for grabs to one lucky winner. AND all Oliver stamps are on sale this month!

I can see CLEARLY now at TGF

please click on pic for clearer view

It's gonna be a BRIGHT and SUN-SHINY day for sure at The Greeting Farm! Hooray!

Today is THE day two new sets are available for purchase, as TGF is proud to debut their new line of CLEAR stamps!

My project features the Bantastic set and is paired with another cutie pie Oliver stamp (c/o TGF as well). For today's card I decided to use the Bantastic banner stamps in a more tradition sense (if you didn't see yesterday's card, using the set as a background stamp, you can scroll down one post), by creating a BANNER! I wanted to be sure and celebrate TGF's 3rd Bday in style, so I also used some fun papers from DCWV The Celebration Stack. And that's my card!

TGF is SO excited for today's hop to combine some Greeting Farm alumni (that's me!) along with their current Farmers! Be sure to start the Hop off at the TGF BLOG, because one lucky winner will receive BOTH sets just for commenting and participating in the hop! And just in case you get lost along the way in all of the excitement that is CLEARLY mounting...here is the list:
