Notes 4 "BOO"!

                  EEEEEkkkk!!!!!! 

Run and then scream and then come back and look at this cute stamp set from Oddball Stamps!  This set is called "BOO FOR YOU" and the second I saw it I knew I needed to make a notepad for my preteen.  She loves paper and taking tiny notepads with her to school.  

I used smooth grey cardstock and Spellbinders grave dies to cut the paper and grey stone.  Using the cutest stamp set ever was an easy addition to the front cover after I used a unity lattice stamp to give the stone some texture.  

The embellishments were super easy with such cute ghosts....ribbon, a little sparkle around the "4" and some orange pearls for the top.  I think that these would be super cute for those special spooks that will be visiting soon.  

Monochromatic Wood Canvas Love

 Hello Peeps;

    Yes its true......when I love a stamp company I really really really love them.  I went crazy this month and did two more Monochromatic themed creations using C.C. Designs Digi Stamp.  I used Pink on one and black on the other.  

Of course I broke into the stash of many many items I seem to be uncovering the more I unpack.....to find butterflies, more patterned papers, pearls and gems and who can resist.....the things little girls are made from?  I can honestly say these girls were fun to color and make into cute presents for the little girls in my life.  

Happy Crafting Y'all

cheers

Imagine That Progressive Challenge

 Since entering the blogging world again and being on Design Teams, I have found this gem!!  Kris Breach is the owner of Imagine That digistamps and she creates some of the cutest digistamps ever!  This month the Progressive stamp is called: Meerkats.  

I used papers from my stash....I believe they are from Close to my Heart.  The Poloraid and word "HI" die is from CC Designs.  I used a small circle punch to create the scalloped edge on the bottom.

When the card opens.....

 Kris sent awesome sentiments that are cute when put together with the entire set :)

Heart punches were used to create the cascading hearts.

Leaving a place to write a note was important when I created this card because I had a family member in mind to send it to.  I drew the phone and mounted it on yardstick.  I used a Spellbinders die to cut out the zig zag frame out around the phone.  I edged the sentiment with black soot.

I added small hearts to add a personal phone number to the phone page.  I loved creating this card using all the images and sentiments possible from Imagine That.  

Monochromatic C.C. Designs

September is a fantastic month- Pumpkin spice, fall colours and cozy sweaters.....they are so much fun when combined together!  Over at C.C. Designs they have a monthly challenge.  It is always so much fun and last month I was lucky enough to win a free digital stamp.  I choose Laying Nora (purchase here). 

*Gush* I have supported Christina for years and continue to do so- there is no bonus for me I just really really really love her work and the images are beyond cute.  

I ended up creating a magnet slimline card for my friends birthday.  

I had honestly never asked what her favourite color was so I randomly chose purple.  I think little Nora turned out super cute.  I used Prismacolor to colour her clothes and hair and acrylic paint for her skin.  I found a papermate thin line purple marker to enhance her tights and added lines.  after cutting her rectangular inside image I used doodlebug sequins and glitter.  

I loved making the rosettes also.  CC Designs also makes the cutest dies and I used an older die that makes the rosettes just roll and glue...woot woot.  

For the background I used watercolor paper and a light purple ink.  I used a brush to gently add the color.  I am learning as I go....and I hope to add images soon to links of product.  OH Dear I almost forgot about the cute little gem for the centre of her hair flower.  

Everyday is worth creating.....and who doesn't love colours and inspiration.  The ladies on the Facebook page for CC Designs inspire me often.  

Cheers y'all

Happy Crafting

Design Team Hello and Sheepski Design Images

OH MY WORD!!! 

Can you believe it.....I was accepted to Crafty Design Team.....EEEEKKKK I am so excited to create again and on a regular basis.  The team have some amazing creations and I hope they inspire you to join us in the crafty challenge.  Our sponsor Sheepski Images has been super awesome to ensure the images we had to choose from were just so darn cute!  I used Romeo to create a magnet.  I feel like putting so much effort into something to make it beautiful should be used as long as it makes you smile.  

I used a ton of different products on the small details.  The words were cut from dies and I adhered three together to create some dimension.  The snowflakes were from a wooden set at the dollar store.....painting them white with acrylic paint and covering them with stickles: silver.  

The medium sized gem in the centre of the snowflakes came from a package of Making Memories that I have had for years.  The frame was cut from chipboard and also painted with acrylic paint....metallic blue. I used a fan brush to create the random splatter pattern.  

The bottom boarder was made from an old Martha Stewart snowflake punch and the icicles are from C.C. Designs Rubber Stamps 

My favourite part was colouring the image of course and I used Sky Blue with Mr. Romeo- to ensure a slight shade on the snow.  The image made me smile the entire time as who wouldn't want to know they are loved- especially at Christmas?  The last fun addition was the "sparkle"- all yummy eye-errific candy- white and silver glitter and doodle-bug sequins.

This image was so fun to create and I encourage you to participate in the awesomeness at Crafty Calendar Challenge.  When you finish your creation make sure to link it so we can all see your super awesome work.  I can't wait to see it!!!

Cheers y'all
