Hello!


Hello!  I tend to forget to use my stencils so the monthly challenge at Inspiration Journal-Marvelous Masks and Spectacular Stencils had me digging them out.  Of course, I've waited until the last day to make it!  I am also entering this card in the Simon Says Challenge-Anything Goes

I love the look of the "hello" stencil and decided to add the old fashioned phone to complete the look.  The stencils and card stock are from Club Scrap's "Gimme a Ring" collection.

Flora's Happy Dust



Hi All! 
I loved making this card since Flora is so cute!  The stamps Fairy Flora, Fairy Dust, and Happy Dust are from Crackerbox Palace Rubber Stamps.  I won them on their Thursday's Blog Candy!!!  Check out the Crackerbox Palace Rubber Stamps blog  for your chance to win!

The Happy Dust saying makes my giggle, so I entering it in CASology's Challenge #41 with the cue card-GIGGLE.  Ice Stickles were used on Flora, the Fairy Dust bag, and on top of silver dots on Happy Dust saying/wand so I'm putting this card in the All That Stickles Icicle Linky Party.  

I used Copics to color Flora and Fairy Dust bag.  The purple card stock from Club Scrap. The other card stock and Top Note Die are from Stampin' Up.

Masculine Happy Birthday Card #2





I love these new Tim Holtz CMS157 Time Travelers stamps and made my second card with them.  I have not been good at making Masculine cards and these stamps have really helped.

I am entering this card in the BasicGrey Challenge #92-Masculine and Fashionable Stamping Challenge #46-Sentimental.  The papers I used were from Basic Grey's True Love Collection.  The Happy Birthday stamp is from Club Scrap.  I used Tim Holtz Distress Inks-Vintage Photo to distress the stamped items. 

Masculine Happy Birthday Monochromatic Card


I love these new Tim Holtz CMS157 Time Travelers stamps I picked up at the Stampers Anonymous Booth (Hi Ted!) at the Stamp Scrap Art Show in Rockford IL last weekend.  I didn't need them, but they were there...and that's when the trouble starts. :)

I am entering this card in the BasicGrey Challenge #92-Masculine, Fashionable Stamping Challenge #46-Sentimental, Aud Sentiments Challenge #79-Happy Birthday, and the Amusing Challenge-Monochromatic.  The papers I used were from Basic Grey's True Love Collection.  I didn't think I could make this card using those papers, but I actually made two cards...see next post.  The card base is Very Vanilla card stock from Stampin'Up.  The Happy Birthday stamp is from Club Scrap.

Feet---Feel Better Soon


I'm also entering this card in the 10 Minute Craft Dash challenge #16 and Simon Says Stamp Challenge-Anything Goes.  

The card took me 9 minutes, 11 seconds.  The stamp, Happy Feet, is from Crackerbox Palace Rubber Stamps.  The paper and Feel Better Soon stamp are from Club Scrap. The ribbon is from American Crafts and the center of the flower is filled with Flower Soft Raspberry Fizz

Helen Needs Coffee!


Hi All!
Other than the curlers, this is me every morning!  I love these stamps...they are from Crackerbox Palace Rubber Stamps.  Their sense of humor is awesome!  Helen is...well fabulous!  I enjoy the Valium Latte stamp (vodka especially) and the Coffee Beans Sack stamp too!  All paper is from Club Scrap and I used Memento Tuxedo Black ink with Copic markers.

I'm submitting this to the Tuesday Trigger...Wake-up Call at Moxie Fab World

Skeleton Birthday Card

I'm back...I know it's been awhile.  I made this card for a friend hitting one of those milestone birthdays!  I am also submitting this card in the Lawnscaping Challenge #55 Embossing.


I made this card using Crackerbox Palace Rubber Stamps - Birthday Skeleton and Happy Birthday, Tim Holtz Cracked Texture Fades, Club Scrap cardstock, Tim Holtz Distress Ink-Black Soot , and Sakura Glaze Pens.  The card base is a dark gray and silver cardstock was used for the embossing.  I used Glaze pens to make the image seem plastic, which in my mind, (if it is still with me) made the Birthday Skeleton creepier!  :)
