Girl Wave



Howdy, just popping by to give you a girl wave!  This cute image is from Stampendous but I cannot remember the name of her to save my life.  I inked her on a Lil Inkers Oval and colored her up with Prisma colored pencils and gamsol.  The Scallop border is MFT Die-Namics. 

Talk with you soon,

Holly

Ooo La La

Hello Everyone,

Just a quick post to show you what I made with some friends the other night. 

 
This is a retired poodle image from S.U. The sentiment is from Penny Black MiMi set and the grass and Eiffel Tower are MFT Die-Namics.  The Oval Shape was cut out from a Lil Inker Die, OMG I love these!  I added some flowers and sequins from my stash.  We used prisma pencils and gamsol, something I haven't done in forever.... had to dust them off, lol. 
 
Thanks for checking in on me

Use Washi Tape

Hello Friends and Stampers,

It's time for a new Challenge over at Loves Rubberstamps!!!  Whoo Hoo.  This week we are wanting you to use Washi Tape or Faux Washi Tape.  The thing about washi tape is that I have rolls of this stuff and I rarely ever use it, lol.  I also really don't know how to use it, lol.  But I tried.  It's perfect for a quick something something on your card.

 
The Design Team would like to thank this weeks Sponsor, Doodle Garden, for providing us with such cute images!

I had fun coloring up this little sling shot boy and I really love those toes! lol.  So I tore off two pieces of washi tape and stuck them on my card, lol.   It goes but somehow it doesn't look as cute as some of the others I've seen, lol.  Head on over to the Loves Rubberstamps Challenge Blog and see what the other Design Team Members have made!   I can't wait to see how you guys use your washi tape, maybe I'll have something more interesting to KopyKat! lol.
 
You also want to take a look in the Loves Rubberstamps New Items section and see if there is something added that you have not seen! 
 
I hope everyone is having a great week so far!

Thoughts and Prayers

 
Hello Friends and Stampers,

Happy Holly-Day Monday! Today is my day to show you some inspiration over at the Loves Rubberstamps inspiration Blog. So I am show you a quick an easy sentiment card today. I just picked the paper and got out the dies and it whipped together in no time. It is no secret that I love the MFT Die-Namics because they are the perfect card size and they hold up to the challenge. Not only do I use them for myself, my friends also use them when we get together so they really withstand use after use. Those Fishtails are one of my fav and I love to have the layers one to stack up my layers.

You still have a few hours left to join us in our Challenge - use a funny sentiment. Which my card does not depict because I need to send this to someone who has experienced a loss. Please join us tomorrow for our New Challenge as well.

You also want to take a look through the Loves Rubberstamps Store, so many cute things and Laura has been adding to the New Items. As soon as I get done studying for tomorrow nights class, I am getting my Sugar Pea stamps inky! These are on preorder, so you may want to order one... a few.... okay, all of them are so stinkin cute! lol.

Laura is also adding the MFT's items that came out last month and she will add this release soon. It's so nice that you can come to the store and get as many different stamp companies and items as you want, all in one fell swoop for one shipping price or free if you spend $75.00!

Thanks so much for checking in on us,

Holly

Happy Sunday!

Hello Everyone,

Happy Sunday to you.  I hope you are enjoying this fine afternoon.  It is Sunny and Clear (as clear as our air will ever be) here in California.  The dogs got their bath and are napping now.  Kitty has went through her morning tyrant and is napping now.  Kitty had a busy morning, she had to antagonize the dogs through the sliding glass window and then the living room window, which one of them lunged at, thereby causing her to jump straight into the air and land on poor Jeep, who got scratched right by his eye.  She knocked over my cups on my nightstand trying to get to the straws, she rummaged through the trash and now I'm finding those chicken wing bones all over the house.  But the last straw was when I was making the boys tuna fish sandwiches, and she jumped onto the counter thinking she was just going to help herself to some.....kitty is now on a time out.  lol. 

I went to our Stampin Up club and we made the cutest cards, I just wanted to share them with you.




I thought this little pop up card was so cute!  It folds down to a regular card size.  The little flaps have the same cardstock on them as well.  The flowers and butterflies are on Acrylic strips and float on the inside.  All the flowers and butterflies were made of current S.U. punches.



 
This little flap card was made using the new tag punches that are in the mini and S.U. paper and supplies.  We watercolored the flowers on the tag using our aquapens, which I love!
 


This cute vase card was cased from Brandy Cox, (the demo's  do card exchanges).  We stamped the first layer and I colored in the flowers with a blender pen, then we stamped the vases twice and stamped other floral images on to vases and popped them up.  The blue one is not popped.  I did hear that S.U. is going to come out with alcohol markers too.   My Demo, Rhonda, was not sure if it's one that is already out there or if S.U. is going to manufacture their own.  I can't wait to get some of these in the S.U. colors to go with the papers, super matchy! 
 
I had a lot of fun with these and it was nice to get away from my cave and all my toys and go to someone elses cave and play with their toys, lol.  I do have several (cough, wince) neglected S.U. stamps that I plan to start using again soon. lol. 
 
I hope you have a chance to get inky!  And if you are looking for other companies, be sure to check out Loves Rubberstamps!  There are a lot of fabulous stamps in Laura's store too. 
 
Thanks for Looking and for your kind Comments,
 
Holly
