You're a Hoot!

I'm loving my new stamp set!  I can't remember how many cards I have made with it now.  But it so much fun!  I made a chap stick card and stamped the Owl sitting on top of the pumpkin and stamp You're a Hoot!  I used my water color pencil to color in and give it a little bit of color.  Then added some baker's twine to close it.

Little Mermaid Gift Card Holder

Click here for the HIMCR Challenge of the week.

I have had this stamp set forever and I never used it till today!  I saw this mermaid challenge and thought it was a perfect time to use my stamp set!!  

I cut out the gift card holder out on my Silhouette and stamped the image right on the card.

Then I used my water colored pencils to color in the Ariel and distressed the edges.

What a cute little gift card holder for a little Princess!

How've You Bean?

Hello Everyone!
After my busy week last week I'm on post #2 for the day!!  I have a new card to share with you that I just made!  I love it!!  It's a digi stamp by Heather at Fresh Brewed Designs.  Heather is having a new stamp release and to celebrate she is having a Facebook Challenge.  This is a paper peiced or peirced creations with the digi.  This was my very first time using a digi.  I printed the image on cream, red, pink, brown and green paper.  Then cut it all out and glued the pieces back down.  Then I used this cute coffee set of stamps I have from Fiskars it's called Latte Love and stamp the How've you bean? on it.  I used my Creative Memories cutting system to cut around the digi with the blue cutter, with the green cutter and same shape I cut out the brown shape, and finally with the red cutter I fold a piece of kraft cardstock in half and cut out a card for the base. 

Hope you enjoy!!

Patriotic Wall Hangers

Today was the first day of Summer Vacation!  So we decided since the last few weeks we have been on the go nonstop that today would be a lazy day!!  It was nice we slept in and the kids did their own thing played Legos, Wii, watch some TV, and even read some too.  They also played with Liana also when my DT Sister AJ came over to craft!   I  made my Design Team Item for the week and made my item for my Mixed Media Swap.  Since last time I waited till the night before to finish it up.  I'm ahead for July now.  I even painted some other things that I hoped to finish and post tonight but if not I will post them tomorrow sometime after I get done cleaning up the house.  It is in need of some good cleaning!! 

This month theme is Free Choice.  So I went with these little 7x7 Patriotic Wall Hangers.  I used some 7x7 pieces of chipboard that came in my package of scrapbook pages.  All the paper I used was from Joann's a few weeks ago when they had a sale on Paper.  I love this stamp set from CTMH it is Vintage USA.  I stamped with Outdoor Denim and Cranberry from CTMH.  The 2 ribbons  used are Celebrate It from American Collection that I got from Michael.
