Feelin' Corny?!?

Hehehe I am in love with this new Ghostly Greetings stamp set from Barb at Bug Bites 411!  As soon I as I saw these for sale I knew I simply had to have them and add them to my collection!  It's hilarious and super punny just like I love!

I used the new sketch from Operation Write Home this card will go in my file box of cards to be saved up for next Halloween as it's a bit late for this corny card I think especially with the candy corn...however, I have some other ideas floatin' around for a non-holiday version to use this stamp...

116 prizes to be given away...WOW

Are you looking for some AWESOME prizes?  Please pop on over and visit Link Up For Pink!  They have 116 prizes to give away from 90 amazing and generous sponsors!!!  Please link up with us-- you won't be disappointed!!

Growing In Unity Day 4

My crafting friends I hope this finds you well! I am oh so glad it's Thursday...because that means it's almost Friday! I had a blast creating this card and hope you enjoy it as much as I do!  Don't you just LOVE when you have things in your stash that match and you didn't even know it?!?!  I know I sure do.

I picked up this paper pad from Basic Gray at Jo's place... seriously JoAnn knows a good deal... hehe!  But it was only $3 or something crazy reasonable!  This stamp is of course from Unity Stamp Company---well the little girl is from Simple Things (there is an adorable little boy in the set Hoppy Birthday) and the thank you is from Apple Cheddar Soup---yes, yes, it was on my desk so I used it again :)  Enjoy!

A little inspiration....

Hello my crafty friends!  I hope this blog post finds you well and enjoying your Wednesday!  Today I am sharing a card with you for a new challenge at Fresh Brewed Designs!  It's a photo inspiration card for you today... so here is what we are asking you to use as your inspiration...

Hello blogging friends!  I have another card for you today using some great stamps from Unity Stamp Company.  The stamps I am using today are from a super cute set called Apple Cheddar Soup-- super cute right!  I love the little gnome in this set... he is pretty tiny so if you order this set I don't want you to be surprised!  But these trees are perfect for paper piecing if you ask me!  Enjoy!

Some details

Paper is from SU and DCWV I believe for the DSP

Tree is from Unity Stamp Co. Apple Cheddar Soup

Ribbon is from the $ Tree

Rhinestones from M's

Growing In Unity Day 2

Hello my blogging friends!  I hope you're having a wonderful Tuesday.  I can't believe it's almost October... pretty sure I am in denial.  I am already looking forward to the weekend-- gonna have some girl time with a friend... just not sure yet what will be on our agenda!

Today is Day 2 for me for Growing In Unity... did I mention I heart Unity... yep I do!  This card set was super simple to put together and I had half a dozen thank yous in no time flat!  I love how versatile Unity stamps are!  This card was created using Gratitude = Joy

You're In My Prayers!

Good morning everybody! I have a  Link Up For Pink post today and I'm so happy to be featuring one of sponsors for the LUFP event in October! I made this card with a stamp from Cardz TV Stamps!

The sentiment I used is from this AWESOME stamp set!

Chevron Madness!

Hello my bloggy friends!  I wanted to share this great card with you using chevrons!  The challenge over with the awesome design team at Hambo Stamps is to create a card using a Hambo image along with chevrons... so I definitely needed to play!

I am using the latest Hambo digi Bird Balloon super cute right!?!?!  I thought so!  I colored him up with some Copics and used some colored paper.  The chevron embossing folder is new from Provo Crafts... I like it but the dots in the chevrons are a bit too busy if you ask me :) And I used my zig zag punch for a little extra chevron-ish!  Enjoy!

Growing In Unity Day 1

Hi friends!!  I am super excited to say that today begins my week of Growing in Unity!  As in the famous and fabulous Unity Stamp Company stamps... ahhh this week is gonna be super fun!  If you haven't popped over to the Unity Blog you will definitely want to do so this week!  I will also be giving away a Unity Itty Bitty on Friday for one of you lucky people who left a comment for me this week!

Today's card I created using on of my favorite stamp sets: Unity's A Little Trick or Treat!  There are soooo many possibilities with this stamp set.  Today I am focusing on using designer paper as your focus along with some water coloring with distress ink.  I hope you enjoy today's simple card!  Please stop by again tomorrow for my day two post!

Splatter Up and Braces?!?!

Ahhhh it's Sunday...which means the weekend is almost over... I am so NOT ready for the week ahead-- it's going to be super busy!  So glad this weekend was relaxing.  I did some random stuff this weekend and that was totally fine with me.  Today I picked up a steam mop on super clearance...ummm I hate to clean but I did the kitchen floor and it looks pretty awesome--who knew!

Today I decided that I simply had to create a couple of cards for some of my favorite blog challenges!  I have two cards today both using the same awesome Operation Write Home Sketch Challenge and I still don't like diamonds but I think it worked out okay for these cards.  The first one pictured I created using some great digis from Hambo and their challenge today is "Splatter Up" hilarious!  I created this card using their Mouse Painter digital stamps and of course I used some splatter!

My second card here uses some stamps from Paper Smooches!  I adore me some paper smooches and I think card is super funny-- I tried to make his teeth look like braces...but not so sure that came across clearly!

You Make My Heart Go Pitter-Patter...

Here is what I created for this challenge--I decided the holiday I would showcase is Oktoberfest...mainly because I've been itching to do this cut from the new Cricut Lite: Teddy Bear Parade Cartridge and my friends this is another perfect use of Brew Ha Ha!!!

Paging Dr....

Okay... I have no idea what sentiment to add to this card...so for now I've decided to just leave it blank and decide later what I will use it for!  I am soooo in love with the new Cricut Leave Teddy Bear Parade cartridge---it's so cute...seriously!  I simply had to have it... my husband pretended he was thrilled when we had to stop a couple/few stores to find it because I "had" to have it :)  Ahhh gotta love him! hehe!  Actually he was a trooper!

I decided it had been way too long since I've created a card for Fantabulous Cricut and they are having a super fun challenge this week.  This week's project is to create a card using an occupational character!  So I picked my teddy bear Dr. friend of course :)

Workout...

So I think stamp designer Heather is trying to send me some messages with in her stamps...hehe!  If you haven't stopped over at Fresh Brewed Designs you totally should!  Heather just released some hilarious new digis that will be sure to make you giggle!  The images are great...but I find the sentiments to be super awesome!  Have a great Thursday friends!
