Whole Lotta Stamping Going On...

I've had so much fun creating these birthday cards using digital stamps by Maurie J. Manning. You can find all of her fantastic digi's HERE at Digital Pencil Too. I loved incorporating the cute journaling cards by Elle's Studio. The images are so so sweet! I colored them with Copic markers.

I'm so excited about spending Thanksgiving with my family this week. It seems that we have been running non-stop. It will be nice to stop and enjoy time together, eat yummy food, and be thankful for so many blessings.

I created this layout using patterned paper by Girl's Paperie and a fantastic chipboard tree by Magistical Memories. The title stamp is by Kenner Road.

I was so fortunate to find this great wooden birdhouses at JoAnn's. I knew it would be so cute decorated with patterned paper/stickers/stamps by Imaginisce. I love how that frame stamp made the perfect little window.
I have two more calls to pass on:

Spellbinders Paper Arts is searching WORLDWIDE for talented paper craft artists to join their design team. Submissions are due January 3, 2011. Find all of the details HERE.
Your Scrapbook Stash is looking for the next 6 Stash Girls. Deadline to apply is December 15. This is one of my fav sites. You'll want to hop over and check all of the details.
Have a wonderful Turkey Day!!!

It's Just My Nature...

"We Love Fall" (October Afternoon)

"Harmony" (My Little Shoebox)


"Shhh...Baby Sleeping" (My Little Shoebox)

It's just my nature to want to spend time in my studio creating. I love the creative process, playing with my new scrap goodies, and sharing what I have created with you. I just love how these layouts turned out. I've had the best time creating with the My Little Shoebox collections that I received. I also couldn't resist the new fall collection from October Afternoon. Aren't the bright colors/patterns just gorgeous! The photos are my son & daughter at the pumpkin patch, me, and my new little great-niece, Kimberlyn. I entered these layouts in a few online contests. I can't wait to see what everyone else created with the same challenge prompts.
Shhh...I'll share a little secret with you. I drove 70 miles to Archiver's last night and found the most wonderful new scrap goodies. DH is working out of town, so I got to shop at my leisure. I can't wait to show you what I am creating with my new Inkadinkado holiday stamps, Jillibean soup "Chestnut Soup", October Afternoon "Very Merry", and Basic Grey "Curio". Yeah...I was SO bad....hehehe!
Have a wonderful week!
