Gold in the Sand!

Hi Friend and Stampers!

Good Grief it is Friday!  I knew it was Friday and forgot it was Friday all at the same time, lol.  I was suppose to be off work today but decided to throw in some Overtime this morning and that threw me off kilter.  Sorry this is late, lol. 

It is a Happy Holly-Day and my Day to show some inspiration over at the Loves Rubberstamps Inspiration Blog.


CC Designs Pirate Henry
MFT Die-Namics Chevron Stripes
Frantage
 
Now for this card, I am using some New Items that Laura added to the store.  I love my little pirate and even though the loot is suppose to be candy, I decided to make it all gold anyway.  You know, they always show the whole room with Gold pieces and then some Gold has been molded to look like shapes?  Well, these are my shapes, lol.  I made an important discovery going through my stash the other day.  I have Frantage!  Isn't that funny?  I have been wanting to get some for a couple months now and I had it all along, lol.  Dont' you just love rediscovering things in your own stash? lol.  At first I had no idea how to use it and ended up blowing most of it away.   So I started playing around with it and before I knew it, I got into a Frantage Frenzy, but I like how it looks like he's reaching out to it blowing up in the air.

I love these new Rascal Stamps from CC Designs.  This one is Pirate Henry.  I decided to use them this week to show them off and I like making cards for boys because I have boys!  And yes, there is more to come later on. 

So what are you making this weekend?  I hope you will show it off in our Loves Rubberstamps Anything Goes Challenge!  And don't forget to check out Indah's Video Tutorial Tomorrow! 

Well I am off to go shopping, Laura added some New Items in her store that I don't think I can live without, lol. 

Thanks for Looking and for your kind Comments!

Happy Fall Fun Time

Hi There Friends and Stampers,

If I haven't gotten to your blogs to visit, I am sorry, I am still making my way around, lol.  Ever feel like you could use just one more day off and about 6 more hours to each day? lol. 

It's Tuesday and its time for everyones favorite challenge over at the Loves Rubberstamps Challenge Blog - Anything Goes!   So here is what I came up with. 

CC Designs Playful Henry
MFT ALM Pumpkin in the Patch -Sentiment
MFT Die-Namic BluePrints 8
MFT Die-Namics Pierced Circle Stax
MFT Die-Namic Circle Stax 1
MFT Die-Namic Sentiment Strip
Doodlebug happy harvest paper
 
OMGosh I feel like this paper was made for this adorable new image.  And I love them both!  This is PLAYFUL HENRY, from  Roberto's Rascals Collection from C.C. Designs.  Be sure to check out the whole collection, I think they are adorable and they are not that expensive as Rubber Stamps go.  And I still got a great quality rubber stamp and inks up really well. This particular image reminds me of my youngest son, so I am hanging on to it for some Scrap Pages and maybe a couple more cards, who knows, lol.  Now the eyes just came round, so I decided to use my Copic Multiliner pen and just color in some eyes with black.  It's a small space and I didn't think I had the room to go full on eyes with this, lol.  I love them so much, I used a different one for Friday's card, so stay tuned for Friday and more adorable Henry, lol. 
 
The square Die-namic from Blueprints 8 is perfect for square cards, I can see myself using this over and over again.  I am really glad I got this set.  They seem a little pricey at first, but when you count how many different dies you get, it's actually not a bad way to go and they all go together interchangeable.  Can I cut a square?  Yes, but I can't get those perfect little embossed edges and the little hash marks, lol.  So I am recommending these for sure. 
 
I hope you have had a chance to check out the NEW ITEMS Laura has added to her store.  I am always calculating out my next payday, lol.   Also if you have not had a chance to hop along in Sunday's Blog Hop, there is still time, you have til Saturday to Hop Along for a Chance to win a Prize. 
 
I cannot wait to see what you enter in this Challenge! 
 
Thanks for Looking and for your kind Comments!

Sunday Blog Hop with some Coffee

Hello Friends and Stampers,

I decided to join the blog hop today to show you an adorable image that is going to be added to the store soon!  I wanted to thank Laura for the gift, she is so good to me!  She gave me this stamp in one of my orders as a Thank You.  I had sent her the image on someones blog and told her, "We need this one!"  We are both fond of coffee and the hours that it lets us keep, lol.

Boo!

Hello Friends and Stampers,

Did he scare you?  lol.  No, of course not, he's too cute to spook! 

Happy Holly-Day Inspirational Friday!  I hope you are celebrating this weekend off with me and will join us over at the Loves Rubberstamps Blogs.  It's time to get inky and use those up those Halloween stamps for the chipboard books and scrap pages for the pic's we all took last night right?  Okay, I know, they go in the pile with all the other years, lol.  Me too, lol.  But on the off chance that you are still wanting to ink them up, please join us in our current Challenge - Halloween Theme! 

 
 
 
OMGosh he is so cute and he was so fun to color!   He reminds me of my youngest son who always loved to dress up all year round and then play the part. I have to say I love this pumpkin as well, it was a lot of fun to attach the face parts and so much cleaner than the real deal, lol.  I am using the already expired Sketch Design by Karen, SSS195.  I just loved this one and did not want to miss out on using it.  It's perfect for larger images. 
 
I hope to see all your fabulous cards and projects over at the Challenge Blog!  Don't forget to check out the NEW ITEMS in the store! 
 
Hard to believe it is the first of November already!  Wow! 
 
Thanks for Looking and for your kind Comments, I'll be coming around to see whatcha been up to this weekend!

Watching Me!

Hi Friends and Stampers,

Time for a New Challenge over at the Loves Rubberstamps Challenge Blog!  Halloween Theme!  Yes, just in time for this weeks festivities!  Show bring out your best witches and ghouls for a chance to win a fabulous prize! 



 
I love this new La La Land Cauldron Witch!  And I cannot get enough of this new Doodlebug Design Halloween Paper!  You NEED to pick some of this up from the store to make some little chip board books, or the 12X12 for scrapbooking!  I picked up the sparkly gems from Hobby Lobby that just opened up here in town...OMGOsh I am in so much trouble now!  lol. 
 
My Mother was so upset with me for not signing my own cards, lol.  As if!  I decided to get a stamp made for the back of my cards though, just to make her happy. 
 


So what do you think? 
 
I used a sketch that has expired by I loved it and it inspired me from Sketch Saturday.
 
You will want to stop by the NEW ITEMS again this week!!!!  I love all the fabulous new stamps, paper and ribbon!   
 
Now onto some good news for a change:  We had parent teacher conferences this past week.  Our 10 year old son is on Honor Roll and our Grandson, 7, is making huge progress this year!  He was labeled a behavior problem child last year and he got an "A" in conduct!  Whoo Hoo !!!  All those hours and hours and hours of homework and working with him have paid off!  That is the fuel we needed to keep going!
