Anything Goes!

I am a little behind this week as this is last weeks project that I am uploading however I have been down and out with pneumonia!  I think that I am finally on the mend so I thought it was time to post this card.

I made this card using our Santa Called Stella set which unfortunately is now out of stock until the next christmas season!  I used Cherry cobbler, dp from SU, classic circle and scalloped circle nesties and copics for coloring.  

Thanks for taking the time to stop by.  I hope you will head on over to our Totally Stampalicious Blog to see this weeks challenge "Wrap it Up!".

Stampalicious Paper Piecing!

This week over on our Totally Stampalicious Blog we are Paper Piecing!  This has got to be one of my all time favorite techniques!  The possibilities are endless!

This week I chose to use our Angel Bear stamp set made by the fabulous artist Jodie Mackrell!  You can get the digis from her HERE and of course you will find the clear photopolymer version HERE!

I used some spectacular glitter paper that my buddy Joycelyn bought for me.  The picture really does not do this justice.  I paper pieced the clouds using the glitter paper and the background scallop is cut out using a nestie and glitter paper.  I colored my image with copics and then cut him out and popped him up.  I used gold Stickles for his halo and star.

Thanks for stopping by and taking a peek!

Stampalicious Monochromatic Blues Challenge!

This weeks Stampalicious Monday is to create a project using all different shades of the color blue!  How fun is that?  If it has been awhile since you have been to our Totally Stampalicious Blog make sure you take a peek as we are doing all sorts of fun stuff!

Case a Totally Stampalicious DT member!

This weeks Totally Stampalicious challenge is to case one of our DT members!!!!  You are going to have a ton of talent to choose from and picking one is going to be tough!

This weeks prize.....A $15 GIFT CERTIFICATE!!!!!

This week I decided to case my good buddy Joycelyn aka: StampsnCoffee!  She is the reason I started this crazy craft so I thought it only appropriate to try and honor my friend!

With this card I took a few elements from a couple of different projects.  Tying the ribbon in that cute little bow was quite the feat for me.  I have always admired how Joycelyn ties beautiful bows on a lot of her projects so I had to give it a whirl!  The layers that I have my main image on are also one of Joycelyn's wonderful traits!  I am always checking out her stuff to see how creative she has gotten with layering different shapes together!

Thanks for stopping by and I hope you will take a tour on over to the Totally Stampalicious Blog and play along with us!

Stampalicious Monday - Anything but a card!

Well, after a long holiday it's time to get back to the craftin'!  This Stampalicious Monday we want to see you make anything but a card.

For this challenge I decided to use our Road Hawg stamp set and make a Stamp Journal!  I thought it would be fun for me to document all of the different stamps our company makes and all of the stories behind them!  Road Hawg was one of the first four stamp sets that we opened our store with and he is still my absolute favourite!  My mom actually helped us find some of the AWESOME sayings that go with this stamp set!  Now I just need to fill the rest of the pages!

Recipe:

• Basic Black CS
• Cherry Cobbler CS
• Road Hawg by Totally Stampalicious!
• Rub ons from my lss
• Deckled rectangle nesties
• Silver Brads
• Letters were cut out using the Cricut
• Coloring done with Copics

Spoiled Rotten!!!!

As some of you know my birthday is just around the corner and let me tell you I have been one spoiled little girl this year! 

So far my husband is sending me on an all girls trip to Las Vegas and my mom is booking us an ATV ride through the desert!  How cool is that!!!!  I also got some pretty cool purses from my niece and an original, in the box, 1984 Cabbage Patch doll! 

Then to top it all of when I arrived home and picked up my mail there was a FANTASTIC little goody package from my pal in New York!  You may all know her as Coffeestamper on SCS!  Sue...this little package totally ROCKED my day!

This is what she sent me!

And this is what I made!

I used blushing bride cs, cherry cobbler cs, labels 10 nesties, punches from SU, just believe stamp set from SU and the butterfly stamp is one of the stamps Sue sent to me!  Thanks for stopping by!

Stampalicious Monday - Inside Out!

This week over on the Totally Stampalicious Blog we are being challenged to make a card and complete the inside.  I don't know how many times I finish a card and forget about what the inside looks like.

I chose to use our Morning Margaret stamp set.  Remember, if you want the digi you need to get it at Bugaboo Stamps.  I also gave some of the new SU colors a whirl.  I used Early Espresso, Cajun Craze, Daffodil Delight and Marina Mist!  I love being able to play with new colors.  I chose to do a circle card.  It was very easy to make, I just folded my cardstock and then cut it out using my coluzzle.  Thanks for stopping by!

I made a two page scrapbook layout and used our new Sweet Birthday Kid set!  My two year old son just had his birthday yesterday so I stayed up late to do his scrapbook pages.  He was being such a goof for the camera that it made these pages so much fun to do!  I am sure I will giggle everytime I look at these photos.  I used sweet slumber dp, copics to color my image, so saffron cs, baja breeze cs and my Cricut to cut out the letters.
