Today the challenge is: I've Been Framed - use a stamped "frame" image on your card. Our lovely sponsor this week has been Shannon's Sentiments and I used the frame below from Vintage Tags .   The snail, sentiment and background stamps are from Market Street Stamps.

I am loaded up on shorts and capris, just waiting for the temperatures to get to the point were they are wearable. {Up here in the Midwest, we have been having a terribly long winter.} So, as I am hoping and wishing that Spring finally comes, I made this nice and cheery card to help lift my mood. {This  So Happy  stamp set from Market Street Stamps is one to help lift anyone's mood.} I know it is not really noticeable, but I used the Bit of Burlap background stamp on the base of the card to give it a little more texture and color and the dotted circle stamp from So Happy behind the head of the flower **Make sure you check out the current challenge going on  here .

The letters are from the Cricut Storybook cartridge and then popped up with foam squares. The doily was sprayed with Tattered Angels Glim...

Hello and welcome to your next stop on the Think Spring Blog Hop! You should have come from Amanda's blog. If you are just joining us or have gotten lost along the way, please look a the complete list below of all the stops. I can't believe that Spring is upon us already! It seems like winter was just starting {and here where I live it still feels that way} a few days ago, and we were all so caught up in the hustle and bustle of the holidays. One of the things I love most about Spring is the feeling of starting out fresh again! Fresh air, new blooms, spring cleaning, and that renewed energy that comes along with it all. So, in order to start my spring, I thought I might "clean" out some picture albums and get them scrapped. These pictures were taken in 2007! ;O The pictures are very neutral with a hint of pink in them, so I chose some very springy papers and embellishments. My project recipe will be at the bottom of the post in case you are wondering where some of th...

Welcome to another post featuring Market Street Stamps ! I once again used the set Hippie Chic, which I love oh, so much. It makes me happy!! What I did today was repetition stamping.

If you haven't gotten a chance yet, check out the Color Cue Challenge that Market Street is hosting. You can find that here . You have a chance to win the Loopy Loo background stamp and an XL background block.

This week's sponsor is Heartsong Designs . They have some pretty sweet images over there so make sure you go check them out! I used their Rainbow Bird digital stamp for today's card.

Welcome to 365 Cards ' Saturday Challenge. This week our sponsor is Digi Doodle Shop . I chose the Hoot Owl for my card. I was instantly drawn to him, with his big, round eyes. {So sweet!} So, the challenge for today is:  " Boy oh Boy!  Make a masculine card, but add a touch of pink somewhere.  It's a color I avoid when make a card for a man or boy in my life, but I think it can be added without making the card too "girly"" In order to keep the colors of the image kind of muted I used the Copic Colorless Blender to pick up the colors from the other markers. I really like how the textures came out with the process. For my hint of pink, I used some patterned paper punched out with a heart punch that added the perfect splash. Then, for a little more "from the heart" touch I used my own handwriting for the sentiment. Hope you liked the card today! Be sure to check out the 365 Cards Challenge blog for more inspiring projects and challeng...

Hello, all! I hope you are having a wonderful day. Today, I am bringing you a card using Blast Off from Market Street Stamps . This set is so adorable and fun to use. I, myself do not have the pleasure of having any boys, but I do have some nephews who I know will totally enjoy anything I make with this set. For the background I used, of course, one of my favorite techniques, blending, using Distress Inks. The colors I used were Tumbled Glass, Weathered Wood, Faded Jeans, Broken China and Black Soot. After it was nice and blended I took my Marshmallow Glimmer Mist and sprayed it across the background to give it the Milky Way look. I then stamped and cut out the stars and outlined them. For the rocket, I used my Copic markers and added some sparkle to the flames with an orange Spica pen. I hope you enjoy!!!
