Creating with a Camera

I've been hard at work making videos recently, and they are't ALL haul videos, I even reviewed some pens.

   

I absolutely love everything about this card! I am so excited about my Neat and Tangled stamp sets.

Thinking of you

Here is a quick card I put together using one of those awesome Julie Nutting Doll Stamps from Prima and using up papers from a Card Kit I got last year from Simon Says Stamp. I haven't subscribed to their card kits, but I have gotten several of them in the past and I LOVE seeing the releases every month. I think I've finally used up all the paper that came from this kit. The shoes on the doll are just colored in with copic markers, not paper pieced. The stickers on the card came in the same kit, and This card goes with my... make more anytime cards thing I'm trying to do this year.

Be sure and stop back by tomorrow to see what I've come up with for the Clique Kits March Pep Rally! I can't wait to share with you!!!

Paper Smooches Feb 2-9 Anything Goes Challenge

I received the Spectrum Set of Stamps this week from Paper Smooches and had a fun little quick coloring session with them. I pulled out the little scraps of paper and stickers from my Scrapbook Circle scraps from the October kit So Happy Together (these were still available when I checked last and are SO LOVELY!!!) So I cut out my little unicorn and threw together this cute little card. It's also good for anytime.

OH... I got the Metropolis stamp set when I purchased the Spectrum set because I wanted this little moon and stars for my unicorn. There's other tiny stamps I want to use to make unicorns as well... so if you are a pony fan... I reccommend buying these two together ;).

So this is my entry into this week's challenge. I LOVE it!

Paper Smooches Designer Draft Challenge Ending Feb 1, 2014

Ok, so I was really inspired both by the colors and papers in my Scrapbook Circle Kit for January and the Paper Smooches Designer Draft Challenge for this week to create some cards. I'll start with the one I'm entering in the challenge as I actually used the sketch for this one.

The Printed Paper is from the Crate Paper Love Notes 6x6 pad, there is some vellum tape by Basic Grey and a chipboard Piece from October Afternoon's Daily Flash set. The doily is random from my stash and the stamp is from one of my trusty favorites from Paper Smooches and that is the Chit Chat set (it was also one of my first PS purchases and I'm STILL using it!!!) The heart shape is from the same paper pad and was cut with my Silhouette. This is kind of a big card, coming in at 6x6 but I love all the color. That cardstock was included as part of my Add-on from Scrapbook Circle and I don't know what kind it is but that color was just so fresh and lovely.

Thanks so much for looking, I think maybe you can tell that my card started as a mini card. It was going to be 4x3 but I just kept putting things under it... so the basic idea of the sketch is still represented. 

Let me know what you think of my take on this.

Hugs!

Scrapbusting little anytime card for PaperSmoochesSparks Anything Goes!

Sometimes you just want to use up lovely things that you've been hoarding and this card is a perfect example!

Anything Goes is the challenge this week at the Paper Smooches Sparks blog.

Below is the link to Paper Smooches, if you haven't been there before they have tons of lovely stamps and dies and inspiration (they even have digital stamps you can download for free if you want to try them out).

So as I was saying, I had some lovely diecuts and acrylic and mini doilies that I just WANTED to use on a project, so I grabbed my Super stamps and used a Clear Scraps ATC card and some Staz-On ink and stamped that skyscraper skyline. Then pulled out some of the Pier Collection die cuts I've had sitting in a basket on my table and made this cute little anytime square card (the brad is from Amy Tangerine Sketchbook collection... see I'm really digging into my stash here). I adore this little card and am so happy to enter this project into this weeks challenge.

TFL!

Paper Smooches Challenge November 18-24!

I'm getting in just under the wire for this challenge, mostly because I had to clean up my craft table to find space to make a card! I'm using my Scrapbook Circle November Kit for this because Therewas paper in there that was perfect for the challenge.

This week was a Cool Shades Challenge and here are the colors:

Here's my card:

I love paper piecing this little gnome, he just makes me smile! I used my copics for coloring his clothes and beard (um and skin). The papers and 3x4 cards came from the kit, that scrap of doily and the tag were just on my desk. I love how this little card turned out. Thanks so much for looking!

Have you played along with one of these challenges lately??? 

Simple Card with a Standout Sentiment

I was so inspired by Lawnscaping Challenge #69 that I made yet another card that could have fit this category. It was too late to enter, but I still wanted to share:

I guess you can tell I was in a hurry to take this pic as well....

I don't know what it is about working the closing shift that makes me so much more tired than opening, anyway it's Saturday and it is a working Saturday for me, I have a layout in a partially put together from a sketch stage staring at me on the table and I know I'll finish it over this weekend and this card here has inspired some more that are just bubbling away inside my head so I'm going to be very crafty on my days off I feel. 

Hope you have a wonderful day!
