Another sneak peak!

Hello blog friends!  Hope you're doing well.  It's time for another sneak peak of the amazing new Freshly Brewed stamp set from my friends at Scrappy Moms Stamps.

Did I mention that I LOVE this set?!?!? :)

This stamp set is sooooo great if you love coffee or even tea!  Yay for coffee!!! 

I of course was soooooooooooooooo excited that I was able to use my new Cricut "Love You A Latte" Lite cartridge!

Scrappy Moms November Stamp Set Release!

Oh my goodness...it's Friday...and it's 11-11-11 and Veteran's Day (Thank you to all who serve and have served!) and I am soooooo terribly excited it is time for another amazing stampset release at Scrappy Moms Stamps!  If you are a fan of coffee or heck even tea-- this stamp set is one you simply must own!  I love it soooooo much!  I am thrilled to be highlighted as their Guest Designer for November and I hope you check out my blog in the upcoming days to see my creations with this great stamp set.

LOVE THIS SET :)

So now that you have had a moment to soak in the greatestness that is this set...I hope you can take some time to check out my project for today!  I have been waiting for well over a year to create this project.  Back before I had my blog and long before I fell in love with my Cricut I found a tutorial for this amazing wallet...okay so pick your chins up off the floor and wipe your drool and check out mine!  I used SU! paper along with the Autumn Splendor from Recollections (love this paper!) and of course my new Scrappy Mom Stamps.

It's All Fun... hehe

Yay!  It's Thursday and that means it's time for an Ippity Chicks Challenge!  Pull out your Ippity stamps and join in the fun...and believe me it's so fun.  If you aren't familiar with Ippity... I recommend that you check them out too-- Ippity is a Unity company--sooooo fab!  Love their stamps.  This stampset was just released last Saturday and I had to ink it up...tooo darn funny!  I love the sentiments that came with this set.

The Deets!

Stamp: Ippity Pain and Pride

I scream...you scream....

I scream...you scream... (think if I scream loud enough Melanie and Tammy will hear me screaming to be on their DT?)  Do you ever have one of those days.... I think I am having one of those weeks-- and to top it all off I think I am getting sick again...feels like a sinus infection...but you're not here to listen to me whine :) I decided I simply had to join in on the Terrific Tuesday Challenge at Scrappy Moms the challenge is to create a 3D project and add either twine or a button!  Well I decided to add both :)  I also hope you are getting geared up to see Scrappy Moms amazing guest designer for the month of November... she's really fab...oh wait..it's me :) hehe! Whoa...that's a whole lot of shameless plugs for myself!
So enough rambling and onto my project.  I used the Sweet Treats cartridge to cut this little box out and I kinda love how it turned out-- super easy to put together and I had orginally cut cones for both sides but decided to add a sentiment to one side by itself versus tying a tag on with twine...hope you like it :)

The Deets:

Whoa...a Christmas card...yikes

Okay, okay, okay I know it's way toooooo early for a Christmas card but I had to try a new technique. I was checking out some great blogs the other day and I stopped by Larelyn's blog and she shared a new technique that she tried by using something she found at Elizabeth Craft Designs.  Yikes I just simply had to try this so I took a short drive...well about 90 miles...but hey it was for a crafting emergency!  I stopped at a Scrap Store and picked up some awesome glitter and some Elizabeth Craft Designs stickers.  I really, really, really, wanted some flowers but I think so did everyone else in MN :)  So I picked up a some snowmen heads!  hehe!  Thanks Larelyn for the great idea :)

The Deets

Sticker: Elizabeth Craft Designs

Paper: SU! and DCWV

Glitter: micro fine something or other cool highlight

Markers: Copic

Tulle

Go easy...

Okay friends...be polite!  I just picked up a few Copic markers the other day and I tried them out on this image.  It was a little small to do any blending and such for this beginner so I tried it and think I have a looooooooooot of practice that I need to start doing :)

I am linking up this card with my friends over at Unity for Fridays with Flair...oh dear me.  Also  you might want to stop at their store to pick up some stamps...they are having some AWESOME sales!  Wow...that's about all I can say :)

Sew Easy...

Okay so I'm still not completely sure that I am in love with this new gadget but I had to have it... my bestie sent me a link with an amazing project on it made with the Sew Easy...well my little card looks nothing like that!  However, the Sew Easy is kinda fun to play with.  I picked up a couple of extra heads for this tool this that punch different designs--so I will have to take those for a spin one of these days.

I decided to link this card Tacky Tuesday Challenge on Facebook.  The challenge was to use a frog cut and to inclue the word "frog or toad."  So I did just that :)  LOVE this frog cut and the eyes crack me up!  Enjoy :)
