This is the second stamp from Sandi and Anne at Outlawz. As long as I make something with it and post it I get another free stamp, awesome! Holiday Alyssa looked to me to be more of a vintage stamp so that's why I chose the darker, muted colours. I printed, cut out and popped up the presents to add some dimension. I really liked how she turned out and I've entered this into:
Believe it or not I made this cute creature for my son's friend's birthday. There's a mouthful. He's 23 and has a great sense of humour! This is also for the Clearly Inspired challenge #37 still going on which is this fantastic sketch. You still have time to enter and win, hop on over and take a look. I've entered this into:
There's a new challenge at Clearly Inspired and its a colour challenge! I used the pre-coloured Gigi Giraffe and paper from the set which made this fast and easy. Go on over, take a look and have a great weekend. I've entered this into:
Its the 15th of the month so a new release from Clear Dollar Stamps! This gorgeous rose is June's flower of the month and made a perfect wedding card. I printed it off twice, cut out the roses and a couple of leaves to pop up, added some stickles and there you have it. The second card took a lot more thought. I was very unsure of what to do and finally decided on a double pocket card with recipes and a jar of mix. 
One of the recipe cards has what is inside the jar(mix) and the other card has the recipe for making the brownies. Too cool.
I coloured the jar on the outside of the card myself as well as added the dots around the scallops with gel pen but the image that is on the recipe card and inside the card are both coloured stamps. If you do a lot of baking and giving baked goods as gifts, this stamps for you! Check back tomorrow I've got another card for Clearly Inspired challenge #32! I've entered these cards into:
Happy Canada Day everyone! I'll be stamping with friends and sitting out on the back deck relaxing today, what a great day. Today is also the start of a new Clearly Inspired Challenge which is to use punches, dies and cut outs. I used the spellbinders classic/scallop ovals, MS border punch, and I cut out some of the flowers and popped them up! (I used the literal meaning of cut outs, lol) I'm totally in love with these colours and have got to start using others! You have two weeks to enter the challenge and win a prize. Take a look and have fun! I've entered this into:
The inside says "As another pound (or twenty) melts away!" This adorable image is from Doodle Pantry (which was perfect for this card) and they are sponsoring Digital Tuesday challenges which is to use gingham. Well it was quite a challenge since I don't have any gingham paper or ribbon so I used the digital paper that comes with the hippo set and opened it into paint.net and then added the hippo over it so it looks like wallpaper. Very cool. I've also entered this into:
This could have been made especially for me yesterday. I've been on weight watchers for 5 weeks now and thought I was doing so good last week and I gained weight! Now come on, I had a rough day, lol! On the positive side I finally had an appointment with my specialist, only 7 months after hurting my knee, and I should be having surgery on my knee within a couple of weeks. Yes, back to step aerobics! This adorable dog is from Clear Dollar Stamps called Sentimental Puppy. He does come with sentiments but the one I used I computer generated. I used the deckle rectangle so the edges would look distressed which is the challenge at Clearly Inspired challenge #29, you have another week to enter the challenge. Other challenges I've entered this into are:
Well hi there, lol! This little guy is from Clear Dollar Stamps called Monkey Business. I just love how his feet turned out, they look so cool. I cut him out and popped him onto the fern background from Rubbernecker, its gorgeous! A pretty simple card but ooooh so cute.
I love, love, love these ants they are so adorable! I went shopping at Doodle Pantry for the ants I didn't have and this was one of them. I won Doodle Pantry Digital challenge #10 with this card and got to choose a stamp. Doodle Pantry stamps are fantastic and the challenges are so easy, so why not enter. Therefore I'm entering this into Doodle Pantry Stock the Pantry challenge #1 to use buttons, Stamps R Us use bugs and embossing, Incy Wincy Designs bold and bright, Critter Sketch challenge punches and/or dies, Digital Tuesday pretty punches, Scrap-Creations use a digital, and Crafty Purple Frog challenge use texture and ribbon.
When one door closes another one opens and this is the result. I'm now designing for Clear Dollar Stamps!! Yay! Clear Dollar Stamps has both clear acryclic stamps and digital, I'm of course working with the digital. This guy is so perfect for today, its actually warming up here in Edmonton, lol! When I first coloured him it was -43C outside, its now -21 windchill is only -30 AND its suppose to get to only -14 with a windchill of -20. Wow, heat wave! I don't know when we'll get spring, its suppose to come here in less than 3 weeks, NOT! I'm excited to be with CDS and they have a challenge with prizes, awesome! I'm entering this into Mojo Monday's sketch challenge, Digital Tuesday which is celebrations, Papertake Weekly anything goes and Your Next Stamp Challenge to use the colour blue.
I agree with JJ, housework does make you ugly, I'd rather be stamping! I mean really who needs clean clothes, and a clean house. Can't the kids and husband do that, lol! I am so lucky because my kids and husband do help around the house and I get a lot of time to stamp. I've entered this into Digi's With Attitude! Challenge which is anything to do with cleaning, Digital Tuesday challenge which is to use punches, The Rubber Cafe Design Team Challenge which is no designer paper
