Purple...

It's definitely Purple... I'm not to sure of the paper I picked. I have a ton of paper and couldn't seem to find the right one for this. So I finally just grabbed two sheets to match her dress and one to match her bag. You can find this stamp over at Scrapmagasinet. It comes on a sheet with a bunch of others or by itself. And don't forget the Reader Challenge #3 going on over at the Scrapmagasinet DT Blog. You have a chance to win a prize of your choice. All you have to do is make something other then a card using a Scrapmagasinet stamp.

This is me shopping this weekend. My husband took me for a drive up the coast to a little scrapbook/stamp store on Saturday. I love going in a browsing. They have such different stuff. This one had a wall of stamps, a bunch of glitter, embossing powders and flowers. Who knew I needed more of those.

Little Prisma flowers they are so pretty. I also came away with a couple of new stamps. One has snowman couple and the other one is a butterfly with multiple layers you can emboss and cute apart. I'll definitely be going back there again.

I have also used this weeks sketch #21 over at Friday Sketchers by Mumur. The DT have made some really cool cards so go check them out.

Second Project...

First you have to head over to Michelle's Blog Stamps,Paper, Scissors and Donkey Smiles to see the super blog candy she's giving away.

Ok.... here it is my second project for the Scrapmagasinet Reader Challenge going on right now over at the Scrapmagasinet DT Blog!! Don't forget to enter your project because you can win a PRIZE!! Yes a really PRIZE from the Scrapmagasinet store. One you can pick out yourself.

I found this wonderful tutorial over at Dannie's Designs. She even did a video tutorial. Awesome!! She has some great stuff on her blog and lots of tutorials. So head over and check it out.

Anyways I thought this would be perfect to hold some stamps images on the counter top. You know those ones your so excited to stamp up but then don't get to them as fast as you'd like. You just need more hours in the day. I know I do!!! Oh and a million dollars so I can spend all I want too on stamping stuff!!! OK I can dream can't I??

I thought I'd show you the inside too... It doesn't have any images in it yet, but it could have soon. Maybe this can be my next Blog Candy. I'll have to think on it.

Teddy Two....

Sorry I've been absent the last couple of days. A friend at work asked me to make her some baby shower invitations. The first 8 for her friend at church were easy. I did the cute onsie ones you see all over the place (I forgot to take a picture before I gave them to her). The other 22 are for her niece so I wanted them to be special.

Well I found this cute Ladybug & Friends stamp Teddy Two in my stash and thought it would be perfect. Then I decided I would just stamp it on watercolor paper and color it in. So I printed all the invites out and stamped all my images and started painting.... I hated the paper!! It sucked!!! So I went and got different watercolor paper and started all over. Reprinted and re-stamped. I managed to color 15 bears last night. I'm hoping today I'll be able to finish them up. I'm even taking them to work to work on at lunch. So we'll see. They are really cute though!!!

• Stamps: Ladybug & Friends- Teddy Two
• Paper: 140lb Watercolor Paper
• Misc: Water Brush, Ranger Distressing Inks

Rakle.....

Here's my second card using the sketch from A Spoon Full of Sugar. It really is a great sketch.

I got some new buttons the other day and just couldn't resist using some. As you can tell. I even thought a little bit of string tied on would make them look even cuter. But then how about as the center of some flowers.

I have been punch flowers out of all my small scrap paper so I have this little envelope full now. Who knew it would grow so fast. Maybe I'll have to send some out in a few cards. So don't be surprised if you get a card with a bunch of flowers inside.

• Paper: My Minds Eye- Tres Jolie: Baby Boy Clover, CTMH Card Stock
• Misc: Ribbon, Prisma Pencils, Gamsol, Buttons, White String

Giddy Up...

A Spoon Full of Sugar is having a sketch for there challenge #16 this week. I managed to make up 2 cards using it. I'll post the other one tomorrow.

On this one I have used Giddy Up by Elisabeth Bell. One of her Sweet Ebony line available over at Funky Kits. You should also stop by her blog she is having some blog candy.

Also the Sugar Nellie blog is going to be having a Birthday Party. So hop over there to get all the information on that. it sounds like a bunch of fun!!

They have had some super cute previews of the new Christmas stamps they have coming out. I can't wait. And hopefully the Hanglars will be here soon too. The waiting is awful. I'm not very patient. It's not like I don't have a bunch of other new stamps to play with while I wait. That should keep me busy until then.

Out of the Bag....

I have had this project started and sitting in a bag for a year now. Well this weekend I decide I better finish it up.

This happened to be a class at my local scrapbook store. April does a wonderful job putting classes together. She's very creative.

I also have the papers to make a boy book.... I had better get started on that. Hopefully soon.

Any ways I worked on this all Saturday night until 1 am. I just forgot what time is was. I was having so much fun. This Creative Imaginations line is super awesome. When I seen it in the store I had to have it. Even though it does have skeletons on it. I think it's super cute.

Well now that I'm finished I don't know what I'm going to do with it. I'm really good at making things and then never doing anything with them. So this ones FOR SALE. So if your interested drop me an email and I can send you some bigger pictures.

It has 12 different pages for pictures, journaling or what ever. 2 of the pages have pockets with pull out tags. The front unclasps with a magnetic snap.

It would be perfect for a teenager or Halloween pictures.

Krilla Rocks...

Just a quick post today as I'm running late for work. This is Krilla Rocks. One of the cute stamps available over at Scrapmagasinet.

I have colored her & the brick background with distressing inks on water color paper. The brick background is also available at Scrapmagasinet. I have stamped it 3 times and then hand cut it out.

How about the paper! I found that over at Designer Digitals. It's call Urban Girl and it has 9 different papers in the kit. Really cool! Today is sale day over at Designer Digitals if you'd like to go over at check it out.

Rakle Bohem.....

We are having our 3rd Sketch Challenge over at the Scrapmagasinet DT Blog. Hop on over and check it out. The DT have made some wonderful cards. This is the one I made of course.

I found this great paper to match my coloring in my stash. Usually I pick out my paper first and then color to match, but I just wanted to color some stuff up the other night while I watched TV so I had to do it backwards this time. I must say it's not my favorite way of doing it. I have a lot of paper but it's hard for me to find the perfect thing after I've colored my image. So needless to say I don't like doing it that way. But it turned out pretty good.

I used another of my wonderful Rakle stamps Rakle Bohem. I love these they are all so cute. I received my DT stamps in the mail on Saturday wait until you see Krilla Rocks. She's awesome!!! They are all awesome, she's just me favorite. So I hope you join us in the challenge I would love to see you over there.

Fortune Tellers.....

I was playing around with PSP12 last night to edit my photos shown here. I can't believe how bright they both look and the close up of the mice. Wow!! I'm going to need to definitely play around with it more often. Maybe with a little practice I'll be able to work it right.

Hope everybody is having a great day!!
