Love is Everything

I have a confession…I really love the “Love is Everything” stamp by Jessica Rose by Unity! Now don’t get me wrong, I love all my Unity stamps but these cute little televisions with that wonderful saying just makes me happy. Of course I had to make some cards with it. I used Color Box “black” to stamp on a paint chip (I ask everybody I know to save them for me when they paint) and then embossed with Stampendous Stamp-N Stuff clear detail embossing powder. I doodled the frame around the paint chips, a first for me, and they were done! Hope your day is great and thanks for stopping by.

Link up Love

Hey, Kristal over at Getting Cricky is hosting a “Link Up Love” party and we’re all invited. I think this is such a great idea! We could all use a little more love in our lives and I’m honored to share some with all of the amazing crafters who share their creativity with us. I’m going to try to leave more comments and follow more of the blogs I enjoy from now on. I almost forgot, we're supposed to share something most people don't know about us so...something most people don't know about me is that I've been a dancer, singer, model, and karate instructor; however I am really quite shy, at least till you get to know me. So come join us, tell us something about yourself, follow a blog, (or a lot of blogs) and leave a little love for someone.

Bird Challenge - last one 8^)

Ok, I just had to do one more “bird” challenge for “Getting Cricky.” This “stamped” candle is so easy to do. Just a candle, tissue paper, heat gun, and Inkadinkado’s “Bird Assortment” stamp and there you go. I colored this bird with colored pencils, but you could use markers. So go make something “birdie” and join us at the challenge. http://www.gettingcricky.com/2011/03/simply-sunday-challenge-for-birdshis.html

Getting Cricky Simply Sunday Challenge, Woohoo

Hey, I’m really excited to try my first “Getting Cricky” Simply Sunday Challenge. This challenge is “For the Birds.” Love it! For this little card I used Recollections’ “Leaves” from their Birdwatching line. Such a fun paper. Those darling little owls are Stampavie’s “Lily & Milo” by Rachelle Anne Miller. This is the first time I’ve used a Stampavie stamp and I love how crisp and clear the image was. I cut the mat with Tim Holtz Alterations’ “Hanging Sign” and also cut the little leaves with a tiny leaf die (sorry, no idea where it’s from.) I sprayed the white hand-cut leaf with Tattered Angels’ Glimmer Mist “Kiwi” then wrote “Hi” with a black Zig pen. I colored the owls with colored pencils and the worm with Tombow 133. I also used Ranger’s Diamond Stickles on their eyes, you know how I love Stickles. I think I'll go make something else for the challenge; I'm having way too much fun. I hope you'll stop by and play too.

April

My life is so full and wonderful that every day really does seem like a treasure, which is what made me think of using Maya Road’s “Singleton Antique Keys” and The Craft Lounge’s “Under Lock & Key” rubber stamps. And of course I used Heidi Swapp’s month stamps. This is the first time I’ve used Craft Lounge stamps and they are great! I hope you have a wonderful month and that each day is a treasure just waiting for you to unlock.

Tuesday Trigger: Farm Fresh

OK, I’m going to try my hand at a Moxie Fab Tuesday Trigger. When I saw this trigger I knew it was the one to do. And here is my card:I was a huge fan of Tinkering Ink papers and the colors in the trigger are the same colors that are in their Botanical Bliss line. Yes, I am hoarding my Tinkering Ink papers. 8^) For this card I used Tinkering Ink Petite Patterned pad Botanical Bliss, Hero Arts’ “Wish You Were Here,” Technique Tuesday’s “Shadows, Rings, and Little Things,” Stampendous’ “Dot Sparkles Gold” and Autumn Leaves RubOns. I also used Tim Holtz Alterations On the Edge “Scrollwork.” I hope you’ll stop by the Moxie Fab World and try the Tuesday Trigger yourself. http://www.moxiefabworld.com/2011/03/tuesday-trigger-farm-fresh.html
