Hey there!
I've made a card today to play along in the Mix It Up #36 challenge SPDMIU36 over at Sugar Pea Designs. I've followed both the sketch (just flipped it on it's head) and the Halloween theme as well. Of course I had to use the super cute ghostie from the Monster Mash stamp set and because I loved him so much I also used a mirror image stamp to give him a buddy. The background was easily created by masking off a circle for the moon and then just sponging on neon yellow and green ink for the eerie sky. Then I used the Spooky Scape die to give these two a fun place to haunt. Because the ghosts were so quick to color this card came together in no time, ya gotta love it when that happens!
Well, lots to do today so I best get moving. Later gators. :)
Supply list:
cardstock- Papertrey Ink and Bazzill
stamps- Sugar Pea Designs (Monster Mash set), Reverse Confetti (sentiment), My Favorite Things (mirror image stamp)

Hello there!
Just a quick little summer time card to share this morning before I run out the door. This adorable Ian wearing his 'Gilligan' hat is from the Sunny kit that was released this past spring. I had pulled a piece of striped paper from the new BoBunny weekend adventures paper pad and colored both Ian and one of his Anya companions from the same set to match. But when it came time to make the card I eventually settled on different papers from that paper pad and there was no room for Anya anymore. That's okay though, I'm sure she will make it onto her own card sometime next week. The sentiment is another one from that great Easily A'moose'd set that I've been pulling out quite regularly this summer, and I love how it pulls the whole design together. :)
Laters!

Hey there!
It's the second Wednesday of the new month and that means it's time for the July 'anything goes' challenge over on the 7 Kids challenge blog.
Playing along is easy, all you have to do is use at least one product
that can be found in the 7 Kids Your Crafting Supply Store and link back to the challenge
blog in your own post, which gives you a chance at winning a $20 gift
certificate at the end of the month... who doesn't love that?
For my challenge inspiration card I pulled stamp sets from two different companies and had fun mixing things up to create a cozy camp fire scene. First off I grabbed this outdoorsy looking guy from the TGF Mini Remix Boys set and then used a bunch of the awesome camping accessory stamps from the new Sugar Pea Designs Easily A-Moose'd set to add to the camping vibe of the card. Next I used the cool tree scape border dies to create the background along with some starry sky paper that I found in my stash. Because I wanted to keep the scene rather contained I decided to grab the stitched circle from the Making Waves die set for a very clean and simple design that is still full of charm and whimsy.
I am also entering this card into the Mix It Up Challenge #33 over on the Sugar Pea Designs blog. SPDMIU33

Hey there!
Today I've got a retired beauty from Sweet Pea Stamps called Shell Whisperer. The way she is sitting on that rock I knew she would be the perfect stamp to try out my new Beach Scene Builder dies with. I can't even tell you how much fun it was playing with those dies. It took me back to my paper piecing days before I took up stamping, which is well over 10 years ago now... yikes! Anywho, the die cut pieces came together so seamlessly that I had that background created in no time flat. An island home for this pretty little island mermaid. My sister actually suggested the color combo for her tail and I'm really glad that I tried my hand at this purple to gold look because the results are quite striking. :)
Alrighty, I've got a busy day ahead of me so I best get myself ready for it. TTFN!

Hello crafty friends!
It's Tuesday and that means I have another fun card that I made for 7 Kids Your Crafting Supply Store. This week I got my hot little hands on this super cute Prehistoric Pals stamp set from Sugar Pea Designs and I couldn't wait to create a scene with all the great character and scene building images that are included in the set. And to really give it that picture book look I decided to do some more no-line coloring. So I stamped everything in Desert Sand ink and did a bunch of masking, then settled in for some serious coloring time. There is something really special about watching a scene like this come to life under your markers. Sure, it may take a bit longer to sit and color an entire scene but I figure it's really just swapping time that I would spend picking papers, working a design layout and finding the right embellishments on any other card. ;)
Oh and don't forget that there is still time to enter this month's challenge over on the 7 Kids blog. Kelly has an awesome $50 gift certificate up for grabs and you could be the lucky winner!

Hello, hello!
So my sister Tracy fosters rescue dogs and yesterday she had to take one of the dogs to meet his new potential owner in North Bend. That is about a three hour drive west from us and since I had the day off I offered to drive her and her pups there. The meet went well and it looks like the dog may finally have his forever home. Once that was done we turned right around and came back home but I got to stop in Wenatchee and do a bit of crafty shopping at Craft Warehouse before making the final leg of our trip. I found a bunch of great new dies and stamps that were on my wish list and some were even on sale... score! But boy, was I tired once I got home, in the last three days I have nearly driven the entire length of Washington state!
Luckily I had some new inspiration waiting for me at home with this stamp set from a new to me stamp company called Sugar Pea Designs. It is called Hot Diggity Dog and I love this funny little guy with his tail a waggin'! I thought he looked like a Wiener Dog so I gave him a cool black and tan colored coat. Then I just completed the scene with some clouds and a ball stamp from another set. Out of curiosity I looked to see if Sugar Pea runs a challenge and sure enough there is a sketch to play along with this week. So I'm entering my card into the SPDSS25 Sugar Sketch. It was just what I needed to pull this all together quickly but with style. ;)
Now I'm off to get ready for a long day of work.
TTFN!
