SCRS #72 - Superbowl time!!!

Who's ready for another Sparkle Creations Rubber Stamps challenge??? This week, we're talking FOOTBALL! 

Now, I'm not a HUGE football fan, but I do watch it if my husband has it on.

Our favorite team is the Oakland Raiders so I went with Raiders colors for my card! Black, Gray/silver, and I had to add a pop of color in there too, lol! Here's my card using Lantern Rin--

Rin is stamped on Neenah cardstock and colored with Copics. 

The papers are from Bazzill and the flowers are by Prima. The vines coming out either side of the flower bundle is the Leafy Sprigs die set Sunny Days stamp set by Verve.

Make sure to head over to the SCRS challenge blog for details! If you want to play along, just create a card and link it up on the linky tool on the blog! Can't wait to see your creations:) Now go visit these sweet ladies and leave them some love!!

The Crafts Meow January Sketch Challenge

Ahoy out there! Okay I don't know why I chose to open with "Ahoy" other than I always seem to flounder when I'm trying to decide how to open my post, lol! Oh well, mission accomplished...my blog post has been opened;)

I had some time today to play with The Crafts Meow's January sketch!

Here's my card using "Fly Free" by TCM...

The papers are from MME, as usual, I forgot which line, lol. All my paper pads are all over my stamp room right now, it's a disaster! I used some Prima flowers, some lace, and Buttercream twine from The Twinery! 

Thanks for stopping by today! I hope you're having a wonderful weekend:)

SFYTT, the January deadline is almost here!!!

The January SFYTT deadline is upon us, you have until Tuesday night at 11:59 to get your cards done and linked up on Jen's blog post HERE! So if you haven't got a chance to play with this sketch yet, carve some time out for yourself this weekend;)

January SFYTT

Here's my card using a sweet stamp from Taylored Expressions

This stamp set is "Capture my Heart", don't you love that penguin? I used some papers by Bazzill and the cardstock is from PTI. 

I hope you can play with us! Here are some details for you...

Thanks for coming by! 

Viva la Verve!

I've got a quick card to share today using Diva Teresa's VLV sketch for this week! It's a really fun one, so give it a try and link it up for us over in our forums on Splitcoast!

Here's my card using some stamps from Wings of Love, the Happy Valentine's Day PJ, and a fun heart die from the new Wavy Hearts die set!

The papers are from the Paper Heart Collection by Crate Paper. I did alot of distressing, and even got my pink Shimmerz spray out for this card! I have tons of that stuff and never use it, lol! The little heart stamps, "my angel" stamp, and wings are from Wings of Love and the "Happy Valentine's Day" is one of our newest Plain Janes and a real steal at only $3! 

I cut a heart out of kraft cardstock with the largest of the two heart dies, layered a button and twine on top, and then stamped and cut out the wings. I think I'll be using those wings alot, I love them!

Have you heard about the Purge hop? Well some crafty friends of mine went through their stashes and found stuff they were willing to give away! I was supposed to be joining them but waited until the last minute to start my purge so I had to back out. Dang! Oh well, we'll be doing it again and I'll be ready for it then because lord knows I have plenty I need to purge! If you haven't seen the blogs yet, visit these girls and leave a comment for a chance to win some goodies!!

Deconstructed Sketch 35~Owl Always Love You!

Heyo! Anyone out there want to play in our Deconstructed Sketch challenge this week? Check out this amazing sketch and I bet you WILL!

Here's my card using a fun Itty Bitty from Unity!

I was able to check out a new stamp store close by and then had a bunch of Unity and I just LOVED this one so I grabbed it up (last one, oh yeah!) They also had MFT, Stamping Bella, CC Designs, La La Land, and Whipper Snapper! I'm SO happy I found this place, I'm sure I'll be back a ton!  The papers are from MME Love Me. 

So I got a new job this week! I'm at the dentist office, my dentist giving me a couple fillings, and she starts asking me if I live close by, am I working, etc...and then says "Oh well I really like you and your personality, I want you to work here in my front office!" Ummm...can you say SHOCKED??? I adore my dentist, she is the sweetest lady so of course I snapped that job up in a heart beat! I start on Monday and I'm so excited:) This one HAS to be better than my last job *shudders*

SCRS Challenge #71--Sketch time!

It's time for another Sparkle Creations Rubber Stamps challenge! This week, we have a fun sketch to play with, check it out!

Here's my sample using the newly released Fashion Karber set!

I colored the image up with my Copics and then cut it out with a spellbinders oval die.  I couldn't get the sentiment I wanted to use to work on that sentiment panel in the sketch, so I cut it out with an oval punch from SU! instead. It's still pretty true to the sketch! The papers are from BG's Picadilly line, which I LOVE!

You ready for more inspiration? Check out with the other girls came up with!

SFYTT Twitterpated!

Have you had a chance to play in the SFYTT yet this month? If not, you really must give this sketch a try! 

Here's another card from me using the newly released Twitterpated from Verve!

I kinda *love* these two characters, they remind me of Kokeshi dolls from Japan, lol! I colored them with Copics and then cut them out and situated them on the circle die cut. The papers are from Miss Nelly by Kaiser Kraft! Instead of having my ribbon run horizontally like the sketch, I ran it vertically so my card looks a little different from the sketch. I just thought the ribbon would look better this way on my card:) I also love the short, sweet sentiments. Love ya. Simple as that:)

Here's a list of a few of the SFYTT sisters that are posting more inspiration this week!
