So Much Stamping Goodness....

I've had a great weekend creating with stamps from 2 amazing companies, Kenny K and Outlines. I created these 2 cards with sassy digi stamps by Kenny K. This week's blog challenge was to create pocket cards. I used 2 of my fav stamps to create a "Super Mom" card with a gift card pocket and a "Hey Girlfriend" card with a bigger pocket for movie tickets.
I colored these cuties with Copic Markers. The cards were created with Bazzill cardstock, patterned papers by American Crafts and Teresa Collins, and my fav, mini alpha stickers, by My Little Shoebox.

This week's challenge at Outlines Rubber Stamps was to create a Christmas inspired card. I love this COOL owl stamp. So fun and funky.

This sweet little snowman looks ready for Winter, all dressed up in blue. I colored these stamps with Copic markers. The patterned papers are by Echo Park.

Christmas in July at Citrus Tree Studio

I had a wonderful weekend playing along with the Christmas in July Crop at Citrus Tree Studio. I created these glass Christmas ornament accented with cute holiday stamps by Inkadinkado.

This holiday card was created with a wonderful ice skate die from the Cricut Winter Woodland cartridge. I added mica flakes for texture.

I created this cute snowman treat container with fun patterned papers/sticker by Echo Park.

This gift tag was created with Echo Park paper/stickers. I stamped the music note paper with a wonderful background stamp by Stampendous. Of course, I added I-Rock crystals by Imaginisce to the tree.

Outlines "Sweet Tooth" Challenge

Hi, friends! This Summer on our vacation in Tennessee, I discovered the most wonderful rubber stamps. Yes...I did make my family take a detour to visit one of my favorite scrapbook stores in Gatlinburg :) The stamps are by Outlines Rubber Stamp Co. I created these cards for this week's blog challenge--Sweet Tooth. You have to hop over and check out the fabulous selection of stamps. The designs and details are just wonderful.

Paper Craft Planet 3D Challenge #123

Hello! I’m so happy to be hosting this week’s 3D Challenge #123–Angel’s Landing Purse Box and Card. I found the template for this wonderful box at Mel Stampz. Not only is the 3D Purse Box gorgeous, but the template and instructions are so easy to follow.

I decorated my box and card with patterned papers and stickers by the Echo Park “Be Mine” collection. I thought the papers were so elegant. The flower stamp is by Outlines Rubber Stamps. They make the cutest stamps.

My challenge for you is to create one of these purse boxes (and coordinating card, if you choose). The template and instructions are found HERE. Next, post your photo in the PCP gallery with the tag 3D123. Then, attach your photo with the Mr Linky at the PCP blog.

I’d love to see what you create.

Lucky in Love

We had a wonderful weekend. We celebrated my hubby, Kevin's bday on Saturday by going out to dinner and a movie. We saw Harry Potter. It was so good. Yes...we are big Harry Potter fans.

I created this layout using a few pics we took while being silly. I just love how it turned out. I used Sketch 164 from Creative Scrappers for inspiration. I've had these gorgeous patterned papers from Best Creations for a few months. I just love these St Patty's Day papers and I've been saving them for just the right project. I paired them with some stickers and patterned paper pieces from Echo Park.

Have you been checking out all of new releases? I've been playing with 2 new releases from Imaginisce---the Christmas and School collections. They are just TOO CUTE! I can't wait to be able to share my projects with you. What are you working on?

Have a great week :)

Summer Days

I hope you are enjoying your Summer and taking lots of photos to scrapbook. I love catching the kids being silly or taking photos of my doggies running through the yard.

This week, I searched through my stacks of patterned paper and pulled out these great papers by American Crafts and Echo Park. I had such a great time creating with these rich Summer colors.

I used lots of little pics from our Summer vacation in North Carolina for this layout. I used a wonderful PageMaps sketch for inspiration.

Have a wonderful day. Be sure to pop back by next week for a magical reveal from Imaginisce.
