Let's Taco 'Bout It Birthday Card

There are so many birthdays in the month of January. I have a super friend whom I adore and I love to give her silly things. This stamp set from Sweet Stamp Shop is perfect for that.

Nicole does such a good job of coming up with funny stamps. This set is called "Taco Bout It" They're great to color and play with and they're not too pricey.

Have a great weekend.

What Does the Fox Say?

Seriously, loving this little set from the Sweet Stamp Shop. Washi tape is from Stampin'Up. I need to finish up my house so I can play more. ;) Hope you're having a wonderful week.

What Does The Fox Say? Thank You!

Sorry if that song is now stuck in your head ;).

After the recent loss of our 17 week in utero baby, Isaiah, I have so many thank you's to write.

I really want them to be cute and informal because the people that cared for us after our loss are truly my close friends.

This super cute little FOXY set can be found at The Sweet Stamp Shop. The price can't be beat either. I love to support my friends when they're extra amazing.

I'm trying to heal and I hope you're having a great week.

Graduation Card with Cap and Tassle

Sweet Stamp Shop gets SOPHISTICATED!

Break out your old metal rimmed tags! You know you have them...hidden away in some drawer... somewhere :)

I used the small graduation cap from the TOO HIP set to create this great grad card. Change up the color scheme to make it more feminine and color the cap any color you'd like. This is such a versatile set.

The sentiment is from the JUST THE BASICS set.

I know graduation is months away, but I'm one more card prepared than I was before. ;)

Have a great week!

A Bowl Full of Lovin' Gold Embossed Hearts

Hi there friends!

I just adore this little mixing bowl from the Sweet Stamp Shop's Baking Love set.. I paired it with hearts from the Stuck on You set. The gold embossed hearts are from SSS's Drops Background set.

Hope your week is full of love.

Ombre Orange Mountains Cute Card Thursday

I love playing around with my inks. This ombre orange is just the thing to "WARM IT UP"  which is this week's Cute Card Thursday Challenge.

The "Hello" is a sentiment stamp from Sweet Stamp Shop. I used a scrap piece of paper and cut out something I thought looked like mountains and then inked up from bottom to top going lighter as I went up.

Be sure to stop on by and join in this week's challenge. Living in the Southwest this card just speaks to our lovely mesas that we have here.

Thanks for stopping by and don't forget to make so time to create.

Fan Freakin Tastic Sweet Stamp Shop

Another little Sweet Stamp Shop goody!

I forgot to post this other reject from my Paper Crafts submission. I love the color and the poppiness of this card. Wouldn't you love to get a card that says "Fan-Freakin-Tastic". I added glossy accents to the fan blades and the word "WHOA!".

Well, I'm headed to bed. This time change has me all discombobulated.
Stay crafty!

Special Delivery Christmas Card

Is it too early for Christmas cards yet?! Maybe a little, but I couldn't resist playing with my new set.

How cute is this little delivery van from Sweet Stamp Shop's Speedy Greetings Set?!?!
So one Christmas card down and many more to go ;)
Thanks for stopping by and for all the love you give a girl.
Stay crafty my friends.
I'm linking this card up to Scrapbook Steal's Monday Craft Madness #48.

Happy Anniversary Triangle Card

I made this card for the most recent Paper Crafts call. Unfortunately, it wasn't chosen, but that is okay. It's some pretty eye candy for you today ;). I love the super fine champagne glitter from Stampin' Up and I'm SERIOUSLY IN LOVE WITH THESE TRIANGLE STAMPS for SWEET STAMP SHOP. They're awesome and so fun to stamp with.
Hope you're having a great day...I've got to take my little guy in to have his front tooth pulled. He must have knocked it on something and killed it...now it's totally infected. :(
Stay crafty.

Here's the project I created for today's inspiration.

Sweet Stamp Shop UWYH Challenge #16

 I'm participating in Sweet Stamp Shop's Use What You Have Challenge #16.

This is the inspiration picture and sketch.

Here are a few things I've had for quite some time. Those Sticky Stitches have been with me for YEARS!

So I got busy and made a fun little card.

So, here's the card I created based on the inspiration picture. I used the Against the Grain stamp set.

 

Chicken Wire Stencil and CHALLENGES!

I've been feeling a little out of it lately. Lazy days with the kiddos and my desk just kept getting piled higher and higher with the detritus of crafting. I stayed up until 2am this morning cleaning and purging. Everybody needs a good purge, right? Then this morning I went in search of some challenges I could get to work on.
I picked three

CAS(E) the Sketch! #42

Pinspired Challenges #15

Sweet Stamp Shop's Use What You Have Challenge #13

                    

And using these goodies, some Tim Holtz Distress Inks and a chicken wire mask...

I came up with this!!!

I've had these plastic letters for at least 7 years. Good to be using them again :). I love the colors in the Pinspired Challenge photo and used the chicken wire in reference to the birds, and that CASE sketch is perfect for this set up. The graphic triangles from Sweet Stamp Shop's new Triangle Style are SO AMAZING! and affordable.

Hope you're having a creative day too. I'm headed out with the kiddos to do some more fun things before they head back to school.

WHOA mama!

YOU'RE AWESOME!

I love this new set, Spin Me, from Sweet Stamp Shop. It's so versatile!

Havin' a bit of a girly time out this weekend and I wanted to let my grilz know how awesome they are. We're 80's chicks so why not have some neon love. I used Tim Holtz distress inks in bright colors to get the NEON look.
Thanks for stopping by.
Have a great weekend.

Happy Birthday Hottie

Love the fun sentiments in Sweet Stamp Shops "Spin Me" set.

A little MME and some Sweet make for a beautiful pair.

Have a wonderful day and keep creating

New Sweet Project Life Style in the house!!!

Hello there everyone. Have you seen the new release from the Sweet Stamp Shop? It's so great. I especially love these Project Life style stamps that you can add to just about any scrapbook or card project you make. This particular set is called Starts Here!

The little hexie stamp is also included in the set with the "my story" and "starts here" and the arrows. I embossed the "my story" sentiment on a Studio Calico veneer word bubble in gold. I used the new Stampin' Up Basic Black pad to get a crisp image for the "starts here".

 I got this art journal with my winnings from the card contest I participated in a few months back. I love the kraft pages. I want to do a bit of hand lettering in the upper left but not sure exactly what I want it to say yet but for now I'm happy.
I hope your summer has been wonderful. Are you all winding down. We still have almost a month :).
Have a super day.

Water Color Challenge Over at Paper Girls!

I love dabbing my distress ink pads, which are water reactive, onto a craft mat, spritzing them with water and then dragging my paper across the pools of color. You can get amazing results with this technique.

So, the newest challenge over at the Paper Girls Challenge Blog is to use watercolor in your project. I'm so glad I get to guest in on this one. I LOVE water coloring-the traditional way and with distress inks like I've done here. Come join in with challenge #36.

 

I drew in some waves and rocks with colored pencils and when I swiped the paper over the distress ink that I had pooled on my craft mat it resisted the ink in those areas.

 

Once your initial swipe is dry you can dab your paper around to pick up droplets of color for another cool effect.
