Stamp Something Challenge

Good morning! This weeks Stamp Something Challenge is sponsored by our very own Denise of Whimsy Stamps! They are such cute stamps! The theme this week is Red, Green and Gold. Perfect for Christmas! I hate to think how many Christmas card I have done now. I've been finished for a while, but I can't seem to stop making more! Isn't this the cutest frog?! He sits on a lily pad, but I don't have enough different green copic markers yet, so I cut him off, since he looked like he was kind of blending into it. The Santa hat is from Inkadinkado Penguin Pandemonium. I started off using Jen's Sketch For you to try, but I made a few changes to make the image I was using work with it.

-Stamps-Whimsy Frog, PTI Take a Bough
-Paper-White cardstock; Real Red and Wild Wasabi prints & Dashing DSP; Gold paper..unknown
-Ink-Brillance Black and White Craft; Copic markers
-Accessories-Clear EP, Real Red grosgrain

Head on over to the Stamp Something Challenge blog to see what the rest of the DT came up with!

ETA: Totally off topic, but I just saw a thread on SCS about http://www.freeshippingday.com/ On December 18th, there are a bunch of stores that will be offering free shipping and guarantee delivery by Christmas. How awesome is that? There are already a lot listed, and it says there will be more closer to the 18th.

Pun Fun

Good morning! I just made this card with another image I received in WishRaks. I love WishRak! It's so cool! For those of you that aren't familiar with it, it's part of the RAK group on SCS. Everyone starts with 3 'free' wishes. You wish for images you want, and grant others wishes to receive more wishes.

Bella

Good morning! Hope you all had a great weekend! I finally started my Christmas shopping biggrin. I'm almost done too! I love Christmas shopping, and even more, I love to wrap presents!

I made this card last night with this adorable Bella image I received from Erin and/or Denise (can't remember wink). I'm not sure which one she is. I couldn't find her on the website. For a long time I didn't like the Bellas because they have normal legs, but stick arms. Still bugs me a little, but they are really growing on me. They are just way too cute! The flowers are Prima Sprites that I forgot I had. I did a little cleaning in here and found a few things I forgot I had razz. The flower in the center was colored with a copic marker to match her dress. The other one's I used match the Pink Pirouette almost perfectly! The sentiment is from Nursery Necessities. I just inked up half of it each time and used a SAMJ.

-Stamps-Bella, Nursery Necessities
-Paper-Purely Pomegranate, Pink Pirouette and Whisper White cardstock; Cutie Pie DSP (retired)
-Ink-Copics
-Accessories-Paper Piercer, Mat Pack, Prima Sprites, Rhinestone brad.

Thanks for stopping by! Have a great day!

True Friend

Hello! I hope you are all having a good day! I made this card for Jen Del Muro's sketch challenge. I love this sketch! The possibilities are endless. This one will definitely get used again wink. Please don't look too closely at my sewing, haha. I really screwed it up. It wasn't all my fault though. My sewing machine was doing weird stuff, but I can't blame the crookedness on it...that was all me lol. On the bright side though, at least my circle cutter was cooperating today.

-Paper-Bashful Blue, Riding Hood Red and White cardstock; Washington Apple DSP

-Accessories-Sewing Machine, Circle Cutter, Corner rounder punch

Taylor's Sketch challenge

Hello! I hope you all had a great weekend! I made this card yesterday for Taylor's Cupcake Sketch challenge. This is such a fun sketch. I'm not really loving my card though, but I don't have anything else to share right now, so I thought I'd post it anyway lol. Normally when I'm not happy with something, I'll stay at it until I am, but this one was about to end up in the trash if I kept messing with it. I was getting mad, lol. I stared off with the SU scallop circle and Boho Backgrounds, but it looked too small, so I went with this. I must have cut out 15 circles and colored that darn dog at least 5 times. It was always something. Either my ink was running out of the lines, or I stamped the sentiment too hard, or I got a lopsided looking circle. Ugh!As you can tell, my circle cutter sucks, lol. It kind of weaves in and out sometimes. It's not quite as crooked as it looks in this picture though. I'm not even going to tell you how long I spent on this card wink.

Well, I better go clean up a little bit. My stamp room needs some cleaning too. I haven't put anything away in a while, so I'm really running out of table space, lol. Hopefully I'll have some time to stamp and visit your blogs later. I am so behind in my Google Reader again rolleyes.

Hope you all have a fab day!!
