Giveaway

So, it's that time again. Time for another giveaway. I have been busy here in Anaheim at CHA working in the Market Street Stamps booth and walking the floor finding lots of goodies for Peachy Keen's Peachy Picks. I have met so many lovely ladies who I have previously only known through web and many new faces too. I do have to say that I am missing my family, but I am also having so much fun here! There are quite a few more coming, but here are a few pictures that I have taken over the first couple of days of the show.  Two new amazing lines from Echo Park and Lori Whitlock. A super cool wreath from Canvas Corp. Tim Holtz demoing his brand new Distress Markers {I NEED every. single. one.} A lovely new line from October Afternoon. Who doesn't love anything that comes from Cosmo Cricket? And some more yummies from Canvas Corp. And now, for the giveaway, I have the wonderful For All It's Worth stamp set, the Honeycomb backg...

Oh, My Stars! It's Saturday!!

Hello all! I know, it's been awhile. But I am back with a new card for today's 365 Cards challenge. The prompt this time around is: Imagine This: Starry Skies What does this make you think of? Let that show on your card. The paper I used is from October Afternoon . On the blue striped layer, I coated it with Tattered Angel's Glimmer Glam in Grand Tetons, and then I spritzed it with October Afternoon's Sprinklers in Night Sky. The rocket is stamped using Market Street Stamps ' Blast Off stamp set.

Today is Your Day, SHINE!!

***Don't forget to check out this post for your chance to win some great blog candy!!*** ***There's only a couple days left to enter the sketch challenge over at Market Street Stamps Blog , so go check that out!!*** Hello and welcome to another Saturday Challenge from 365 Cards. Today's prompt is "Sketch from a Card."   Pam asked me to make a card, and her goal was to show you how easy is is to take inspiration from it and draw a sketch. This card is pretty basic. I took a couple of coordinating patterned papers and found a layering situation that just felt right.  I wanted to incorporate the small scalloped pattern that is in the top most paper, so I used my border punch to emulate that. I wanted the SHINE part of the sentiment to stand out, so I literally made it shine using Glossy Accents. The flower was cut from a piece of ribbon to make an embellishment, I just chose to spray it with some mists to make it match the rest of the card. I hope you all enjoy yo...

Market Street Sketch Challenge 3!!

Hello! So happy you could join me today!! I have my card inspiration for the Market Street Stamps Card Challenge . Along with the sketch there was an added challenge of using a spray mist. The first thing I did was stamp Vintage Notepad using VersaMark onto my white cardstock. I then covered it with clear embossing powder and heated it with my heat gun.  Next, I used October Afternoon's Sprinklers in Lemon Drop and Strawberry and alternated spraying them over the card base. The embossed image works as a resist, and you get a great look! The label is a die cut from Nestabilities Label One onto Bazzill's embossed cardstock, Peek-a-Boo Leaves in white. I then used a yellow ink pad to rub over the raised part of the embossed paper to make it pop a little more.  The rest is self explanatory, or at least I hope so. If you have any questions, please don't be afraid to ask.  Hope you enjoyed today's card!!! Card Recipe Stamps: Market Street Stamps {Vintage Notepad, Celebrate...

School's Out for Summer Blog Hop!!

What do you look most forward to for summer? Me, I love the time I get to spend with my girls. I love the fact that we can pick up and do just about whatever we want with only a few time constraints. Want to sleep in? We can do that. Want to go to the zoo? We can do that. Want to run through the sprinkler? Well, they can do that while I take pictures. Welcome to the School's Out for Summer Blog Hop!! I hope you have made it safely from Sarah . My project for today is a layout of one of our yearly day trips to a local attraction. They have all sorts of rides for all ages, and this year they added their first roller coaster. The layout recipe will be found at the end of the post.

365 Saturday Challenge!!

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...

Bowl of Cherries

Here are a couple of quick cards using one of Unity's Itty Bitty stamps. I love using them. They are so cute and you can easily whip up some fast projects or use great detail on them. For today, I used the "Sweet as a Bowl of Cherries." The first one is a 4x4 card. I stamped the bowl onto kraft cardstock and used my Copics and Spica pen, then added the October Afternoon patterned paper. Around the edges of the patterned paper, I used my peircing tool to string the twine through. The second card is a 3x3. I again stamped the bowl and colored it in using Copics and then just simply wound some twine around the front.  Card Recipe Card 1 Patterned Paper: October Afternoon  {Seaside collection} Ink: Tim Holtz Distress Ink Markers: Copic Glitter Pens: Atyou Spica Twine: Rusty Pickle Card 2 Ink: Momento Markers: Copic Glitter Pens: Atyou Spica Twine: The Twinery
