Happy Fall

Happy Tuesday and Welcome to another Tuesday Challenge Card from Loves Rubberstamps.
This week is all about Thanksgiving.  So stamp up your best Thanksgiving Theme card/Fall Card and play along with our challenge.  Laura is always slipping in extra sponsors here and there, so be sure to go to the Challenge page and read along to find about the PRIZES!

Have you been to the store lately?  She has Many, Many, Many new things in stock and continues to add new things by the week!  So you definitely want to stop by and check it out.

Okay on to my card.  I started with the MFT's weekly sketch challenge and I took liberties from there, lol.  I moved my tab to the other side, used a fence instead of a fishtail, and extended it to both sides.  Here is a list of everything I used, which is available in the store.

MFT Lil' Pumpkin PI
MFT- Die-namic grass border
MFT- Die-namic Fence Border
MFT - Primitive Pumpkins stamp and die set
Card Candi - Coffee Bean
Memento - Morocco and Tuxedo Black
Authentique - Thankful
Martha Stewart Punch - Branch Border
MFT - Mini Tab Foursome Die

I love cutting out those little pumpkins from the Primitive Pumpkin stamp and die set.  I think I might have to use those a few more times, lol.  Definitely breaking them out again for scrap pages and next years stuff too!

Thanks for Looking and for your kind Comments!  I cannot wait to see your entrees and leave you a comment.

Boys will be Boys

I made this for this weeks Challenge over at Totally Stampalicious.  Love this little Bugaboo Brat called Deacon Bugs.  I bought him a while back and have not inked him up yet, but no time like the present.  He is so adorable.  He looks like both of my boys.  The only thing is that neither of my boys are particularly found of bugs, lol.  But they liked to go out and play.  I colored him up with my Copic Markers and paired him with my BoBunny Camp-A-Lot collection 6X6 papers. 

This weeks challenge is about Bling, so I added some rhinestones in the center of my flowers and colored them with my Y17 marker, lol.  I couldn't add too much, it's a boy card.  And yes, boys are meant for kisses and hugs, watching rainbows and catching bugs....even if they are just ladybugs, lol.  I love this sentiment much more than the traditional - boys are rotten, made out of cotton.  Like cotton is a bad thing?  I never understood that.  I LOOK for cotton clothes, maybe that's why I like my boys so much though, lol.

Thanks for Looking and for your Kind Comments.

On the fence Cocoa Trevo

Hi and welcome to another Week of the All That Scraps Challenge.  It's time again for "Anything but a Card"!  Somewhere in my vast hotmail account is a saved link to one of these that I saw sometime in September I believe.  They further linked the original designers Template, which I printed right away, (Thank Goodness!).  (.....I FOUND IT!!!! Whooo Hoooo, It's Jenny Peterson!)
As soon as I saw this, I knew I had to make at least one, lol.  Then I saw the preview for Cocoa Trevo!  And I thought, "Oh perfect, I'll make a KCup holder and put some of Jeep's Cocoa KCups in there.:  OMGosh is he not the cutest thing? 

The initial template calls for a 2 inch top flap and so I added two inches to the length, (so instead of a 10 inch length, I made a 12 inch length).  A few score marks (as directed on the link) , snip - snip and I was off and running. I used my Spellbinder circles for the holes and ran it through my big shot twice.  I also used some score-tape for an extra secure hold.  And yes, those are Jr. Mints holding up the end there, lol.  For lack of a better prop in which to show you, lol

I  used the new "the four seasons fence" die for Cocoa Trevo to sit on, some Martha Stewart punch snowflakes, Icicle Border Die-namic and some Card Candi that I cannot seem to leave in the package, lol.  I colored the Icing Sugar with my Copics B10.  The designer paper is from Echo Park called Winter Park.  LOVE these cute papers in the 6X6 pad.  Oh and some Rhinestones to finish up.  I colored Trevo with my Copic Markers: E0000, E000, E00, E21, E93, E27, E25, E23, E40, E41, E42, E43, E44, R59, R37, R23, C1, C00, YG97, YG95, YG93, B99, B97, B(5, BG13, BG11, BG10. 

Thanks for Looking and for your kind Comments.  Can't wait to see your uploads!

Hope you are all having a great day.  It's Tuesday and time for another Challenge over at Loves Rubberstamps!  This weeks Challenge is Easy-Peasy, Anything Goes!  So no excuses not to uplink and let us see your fabulous creations and you get a chance to win a prize in the process.  There may even be a sponsor or two.  I have not inked up this adorable P.I. Paper Dolls image and thought it was about time.  I used this weeks sketch from the MFT's weekly challenge.  I let the paper do the banner for me and put a little ring around those adorable birds on the paper, I just did not want to cover them up.  I also used the Paper Dolls die-namic border.  And added some Card Candi - Coffee Bean. I cannot beleave I hand cut out the paper dolls she is holding to paper pierce, but I just had to, lol. 

Have you been over to the Loves Rubberstamps Store lately?  Laura has added some really exciting stamps and some are on preorder so you can let her know which ones you want.  If there is a company you like, but do not see the stamp you are looking for, shoot her an email and ask her about it.
