{hi}

Just a quick post today to show off some of the fabulous new things just in at PaperAddiction.com.This line is from Pink Paislee. For this card I used brads, cardstock stickers, stamps and die-cut paper. I kept this card really simple because I was at a crop over the weekend and didn't have all my supplies at my disposal, but I like the simplicity.

Thanks for stamping by today!

Hi there!

Did you miss me? I have been in a self imposed exile. I have had some family in town and got a cold on top of that, but I am back and have some fun things to share.

This is for today's sketch challenge on SCS. I am using the brand new line from Imaginisce called Summer Cool, and it is in stock at PaperAddiction.com, woohooo!!! This was a really easy card to put together. I stamped the flower 3 times and colored it with watercolor pencils and a blender pen and then stamped over the top with the SU! sanded background with Brushed Corduroy Distress Ink.

I had an absolute blast at CHA and will post a few pics in the next few days:)

Birthday Monsters

Hi! First, I want to thank you all for your comments the last few days, I really appreciate them:)
This card is for 2 challenges, SCS sketch and the Way to Use It (incorporate stars into the design).

I remembered that this too stinkin' cute set from October Afternoon called Night Light has a little star stamp, ohhh. My nephew's birthday is in a few week's and I thought the monsters would be perfect for him. For the background dp and the monster on the right I used paper we just got in stock from October Afternoon's Daydream collection. To make the cutout circles on the image panels I just used the bigger hole on my Crop-a-Dile and added the teal background paper behind it and then added some inking with Cat's Eye colorbox chalk. The clip is one I pulled out from my stash and the ribbon is from the store. Are you ever in need of the PERFECT word bubble? Check out this set called Comic Bubbles from October Afternoon. I consider this set a sort of staple item.

If you *heart* the monster set like I do, go grab it. There are only 4 left in stock and we are not ordering more, be sure to check out the Night Light Paper pack while you're at it. The Bittersweet line from Basic Grey went fast!!! We do have 4 6x6 pads left in stock. We are going to order more, but if you don't want to wait, snatch up what's left:)

Thanks for stamping by today~

Be Mine

Hi! Here's a little peek at one of the 4 new sets being released on Wednesday at My Favorite Things. Flopsey is back as a Valentine!

I paired him with Basic Grey Bittersweet 6x6 paper and played the TLC challenge to use red line tape and glitter. I stamped Flopsey with Memento Rich Cocoa and colored him with Copic markers.

Don't forget to leave a comment on the previous post for you chance to win some 12x12 sheets from the Urban Rhapsody stack from K&Co. (You can leave a comment just for me here;)

One more mini treat box...

I am back with one more mini treat box. I needed to do a card for this weeks Who's That Girl Challenge with the featured set Hot Stuff. The challenge is to use torn paper. It occurred to me that this little box might be perfect for some tea bags. The wrapped tea bags are too big, but as luck would have it, I just purchased some tea the other day that looked yummy and the bags are these wonderful little triangle shaped things...perfect for the little box.

I used the tiniest bit of paper from the Basic Grey line Bittersweet.
I tucked 5 of the Lipton tea bags into the box.

I stamped the tea cup on the mini envelope to match the rest of the gift set. This card measures just 2 1/2 x 3 1/2". The brad on the front of the box is a glazed brad from the Bittersweet collection also.


I think that covers everything! Please let me know if you have any questions! Thanks for stamping by!

So...tweet

Hi! It has been too long since my last post. I hope you all had a wonderful holiday and you spent it exactly the way you wanted. Mine was just wonderful. I really needed some new clothes, so I went shopping a few days before Christmas and got what I wanted....life is so good:)

I didn't stamp at all for about 8 days, but I was having a great time hanging out with my kids and getting ready for Christmas. I think my little vacation is over though because the day before Christmas I got 2 boxes of fabulousness in for Paper Addiction which you are going to see a bunch of links for, so here we go...

As a little Christmas present, Michelle (flaxychick) has put another free template for this mini candy box on the site for you to download and enjoy! This little box is sooooo easy to put together. You know I needed to use the new line from Imaginisce in stock called Twitterpatted

The size of the box is suited for a little treat. Michelle used mini cookies, I used a mini zip lock bag (found in the cake decorating section at Michaels) and added red M&M's. I have a million of the the little bags now. If you place an order at PaperAddiction, I will include 3 for you, just leave a comment to let me know you would like me to include them in your order.

To finish the box and the mini card, I used ribbon from the Are You Red-y assortment and buttons from Basic Grey. Speaking of Basic Grey, that is the other fun delivery I got in. The totally fabulous Bittersweet collection, just in time to get started on all your Valentine's projects. Wouldn't these little boxes be perfect to give to the Valentine's in your life?
The mini card measures 2 x 3 1/4". We have the perfect mini envelopes in stock for these fun little cards. The stamp is from the Twitterpated collection and I got to use my new Nestabilities Small Label set. There are only 2 left in stock and going for $20, a fantastic price!!!
Thanks so much for stamping by today!

Hello

Hi! Today you will see the extent of my fickleness. It is officially cold in Las Vegas (lightly snowing as I write this) and I am longing for spring. As I mentioned yesterday Michelle (flaxychick) came up with this fun 4x4 folded card sketch. I used a Karen Stopler image I just got.

I used a 12x12 piece of Bazzil paper and added this fresh green print from October Afternoon Night Light Collection.
I stamp the image with Rich Cocoa Memento ink and colored with watercolor pencils and a blender pen. The sentiment and additional flower images are Studio G stamps I am absolutely addicted to collecting at Michaels. Do you have the same problem? I added Crystal Ice Stickles to the waterdroplets and flower for a pretty shimmer. The keyword for Michelle's sketch is TCCSK.
One more thing, my friend Carrie of My Little Stamp Shack is having an amazing sale, lots of stamps 40% off.
Thanks so much for stamping by today~

Sending Hugs

Hi there! Can you believe I am posting 2 cards today, I know!!! I was inspired. The first is for My Favorite Things sketch 57 and for today's Way to Use it Challenge on SCS; to use pearls. I have had these black pearls for awhile and am thrilled to use a bunch here. The set is a newly released one from My Favorite Things called Who's That E-girl. I stamped her onto Basic Grey paper and colored a little with Copics and paper pieced the skirt. The striped DP is from the 6x6 Basic Grey Eva pad in stock again at PaperAddiction.com

This stamp is from American Art Stamps. I stamped the image onto vanilla cs and colored it with watercolor pencils and a blender pen. I then used my brand new bottle of Ranger Sepia Accents to go over the snowman and the tall legged people to give them a wonderfully antiqued look. The paper is from Scenic Route Garland line.
Don't forget about the blog candy I have up for grabs in the previous post!

Going Places Luggage and Tag



Hi! Look at what's now available at PaperAddiction.com When I saw these miniature suitcases I knew I had to have them. I had a few ideas what I would use them for and this isn't actually what first came to mind, but I love it. I created a luggage tag...this one is for me, but wouldn't it be fun to make several to give to friends or relatives going on a trip. How about a little graduation gift. Endless possibilities!




These little suitcases measure 4 1/2 x 3 1/8 x 1 3/4. They are so small and cute I can hardly stand it:)


The tag measures 2 1/4 x 3 1/4. I made the charm from the My Favorite Things set called Going Places, with Shrinky Dinks. I haven't ever used them for stamping before (the last time I played with them I was 12:) and I LOVE it. I feel like a little girl again. I stamped onto the Shrinky Dinks with brown Staz-on and colored it with Copic Markers. I printed my name and info on the cardstock and trimmed it to fit on the brown cardstock. I cut another piece of cardstock for the reverse side of the tag and added the plane and the sentiment, Going Places to it. I stitched around the edges and adhered both sides to the brown tag. I then laminated the tag and punched a hole with my Crop-a-Dile and added the charm with a small chain. I need to plan a trip using my new luggage tag:)



Don't forget about the AMAZING blog candy I am giving away in the last post. Please show a little love and leave a comment for it:) (leave the comment on the last post please if you want to try for it)

LOOK!


Yay, we finally got the Night Light line in from October Afternoon at PaperAddiction.com. When Michelle and I saw this collection at CHA over the summer, it was love at first sight. Aren't these the cutest monsters ever?!!! This collection is perfect for little boy cards or just everyday fun. We have lots of new things in the store, be sure to hop over and check it out!



I stamped the monster on PTI white cs with Rich Cocoa Memento Ink (my favorite all purpose stamp pad and the best when using Copic Markers:) I colored him with Copics. All the decorative paper is from the Night Light Collection.

A New Pair of Shoes

Hi! So what is it about new shoes that make me feel all sassy? I can't really say except maybe it's the possibility of where those new shoes might take me, kinda corny right?


Well, I think Kim did it again with this fun set from My Favorite Things called Window Shopping. This is for the Who's That Girl Challenge. The challenge this week is to show a little love to your embellishment stash. I pulled out 7 brads for this one! If you want to play along upload your creations to SCS using the keyword MFTWTG9.

That fun dp is from Basic Grey 6x6 paper pad Offbeat, on sale this week at Paper Addiction for just $5...don't wait they are going fast. Doesn't it look great paired with my new Ripe Avacado paper from PTI. I colored the image with my Copic Markers.

Home Sweet Home Box and Card

Hi! Well, Michelle has done it again and made a new box template! I just happen to have new neighbors and thought this little box would be perfect to bring them a few cookies to welcome them to the neighborhood. I make fabulous chocolate chip cookies:) I am baking in a little bit, so I will have to post another pic once the box is filled.


This box template is available for .99 at Paper Addiction or is free with any purchase, a smokin' hot deal if you ask me (use the keyword TEMPLATE during checkout to receive it free). The paper is from the Weathervane Collection and that adorable house stamp is from Home Sweet Home, the set is available for $12.75 while supplies last!

I stamped the house on PTI white cs and colored it with colored pencils and a blender pen. The dots are done with a brown SU! marker.

Eek!


Hi! I had such a hard time trying to decide which image to use, the owl or the spider that I just went with one of each. These are from the October Afternoon set called Beware the Spooks, I only have one left in stock (it's sold now) so you might want to grab it while you can. Check out Michelle's new box template while you're there. It's free with any purchase!

These cards were so easy, I just stamped the image with black Memento ink and sponged the edge of the circle and distressed the edges of the other paper...done! The DP is from Cosmo Cricket.

No One in the World Like You

Hi! It is once again my turn to host the My Favorite Things Who's That Girl Challenge. This week the featured stamp is Going Places. The challenge this week is to incorporate eyelets into your card. As you can see, I got a little crazy and used eight, yay me! But I think that it works well. You don't need to use this particular stamp, or even MFT stamps to play along. We just want you to get what you have inky. Make sure to see what kind of special Kim is having on this stamp on Monday. Use the keyword MFTWTG5 at SCS if you play along.



I stamped the image on PTI white paper and used my Copics to color this time. I added the extra suitcases to the left of the girl because once again I got my inky finger marks on the image panel once it was ALL done, ARRRGGGHHHH, why, why, why don't I learn:( I think it looks okay with the extra baggage:). The paper is from BasicGrey Ambrosia 6x6 pad.

Autumn Greetings

Hi! I am happy to report that it is 48 degrees this morning. I got to wear a sweater yesterday:) It is supposed to climb back up into the 80's by the end of the week, but that's okay with me. Thanks for listening about my weather rants.

This card was made for the Featured Stamper Challenge at SCS. Anne Ryan is the featured stamper and I cannot even begin to say what a very special person she is. Not only is she a talented stamper she is one of the most generous people. I have received several RAK's from Anne, she just seems to know when someone needs a little pick me up. I cased this card from Anne's gallery. I used a different color combo and a image, but kept the main layout.

I used and image from American Art Stamps called Fall. I have already told you how much I love these images, so I will spare you more gushing. I did use some more paper from October Afternoon Weathervane line. The sale at Paper Addiction on this paper ends on Monday, October 13th and there are just a couple of packs left. Go check it out. I used watercolor pencils and a blender pen for this image.

Thanks so much for stamping by!
