Monday Milk and Cookies

Happy Monday!

This week brings the CLEAR STAMP RELEASE over at SOME ODD GIRL!  This new release is just way too much fun.  Today I am highlighting the Milk and Cookies stamp set.   I love just love this set.  I see tons of lunch box notes for my boys using this new set!

For my card I started off with a kraft card base and then ran a strip of Core'dinations cardstock through the Cuttlebug using a Lifestyle Craft embossing folder.  I then added my sentiment and some twine.  I stamped my images on the 110lb smooth cardstock from Core'dinations and then colored my cuties using my spectrum noir markers.  Finally I cut them out and adhered them to the card using foam dots.

Stop by the SOME ODD GIRL STORE and pick up this awesome new set.

Thanks for stopping by today.  I will be back tomorrow with the new Fruit Salad stamp set.  See you then.   Have a wonderful and crafty day!

Thursday Lawn Fawn & Distress Inks Card

Happy Thursday!

I had time to play this week and the new challenge over at Lawnscaping was right up my alley!  The challenge was to get out and use your Distress Inks!  How fun! Right?

So I love my Distress Inks and I got them all out-- 3 shades of Blue, Orange Marmelade, and Walnut Stain and I got busy.  Here is what I came up with.

I broke out my Say Cheese stamp set and made that the focul point of my card. I then had this little set with the cutest little owl and framed him in the photo frame.  For the background I used my Distress Ink Blues and created the background using some water color paper, heat embossing the stars and then misting it with water and perfect pearls.  I really like how it turned out.

I put together a video on how this card came together.

Thanks so much for stopping by.  See  you soon.  Havea  wonderful and crafty day!

May 20 Some Odd Girl and Core'dinations!

Happy Tuesday!

Some Odd Girl is having their Tuesday Digi Release and Kristy has some awesome new digi cut files.  This one is the gears cut file and I just loooooved them for my layout.

For my layout I started out my Core'dinations cardstock and used the Brights Collection.  I embossed the paper strips and then sanded them.  I then ran a matt for my photo cut from Core'dinations and ran it through my paper crimper and sanded it.  I then matted it again uisng some yummy Doodlebug paper.  Finally, I used the Some Odd Girl digi cut file Gears and cut those out using my Silhouette.  I sanded them and adhered them on to my layout.  I then used a Doodlebug die cut for my title.

Stop by the some odd girl store to pick up this AWESOME digi cut file and check out the other new releases!

Thanks so much for stopping by today.  I will be back later this week.  See you then.  Have a wonderful and crafty weekend!

Monday TAWS #52

Happy Monday,

I am playing along with the Be Inspired Challenge by The Alley Ways Stamps this week! Here is a look at the photo for inspiration.

 Isn't is awesome?  I have to say I was stumped for 2 weeks but then I got my mojo flowing and here is what I came up with.

I used my Bubbling Over  stamp set for TAWS.  I used some washi tape to create my "table" and then I stamped and colored my test beakers.  I spilled on over and used stamps and sequins to create the blowing in the wind effect.  I used my Spectrum Noir markers to color it all in.

supplies
cardstock- neenah solar white
stamps- TAWS
washi tape- Bella Blvd
ink- memento, hero arts
sequins- Some Odd Girl
spectrum noir markers

Thanks so much for stopping by today.  I will be back tomorrow with a new layout for Some Odd Girl!  See you then.  Have a wonderful and crafty day!
