Eureka Stamps - Valentines/Love Blog Hop

Hi there and welcome to the Eureka Stamps Valentine's day/ Love themed blog hop! If you just arrived here from Ceal's Blog, then you are on the right path. If not, then head back to the Main Eureka/QKR Stampede Blog and start from the top. Here is what I came up with for this "love"ly themed hop. Isn't this dragon so cute????!!! I think he is adorable. This guy is called Sm. Hearty Dragon. He is also available in a larger version, or a digi. I stamped this guy off, and colored with watercolor crayons. Now most dragons are green, but I really liked the idea of a pink and brown theme for this card. So I went with pinks and reds, and a brown body. I layered him onto some PP from SEI, and then stamped the Happy Valentine's Day stamp on the bottom. Last I added some little pink gems to the corners of the dragon image.

Now I must send you on to your next stop on this hop...

A Recipe - SNSS Digi Style

Hello...Happy 2012! I guess I have been slightly MIA over the past month. First off, I have been having something "issues" with my mojo...it seems to have fallen off the face of the Earth to begin with. Also, been a lot of stuff going on around our house. Of course like everyone, the holidays are just crazy in general, then add on some other life stresses happening, and you have no creativity from me...lol. Anyway, I am really trying to refocus and get back into my stamping, mostly because it really calms me down. So today I wanted to share the card I made for this weeks Sweet 'n Sassy Digi Challenge. Our challenge this time around is a recipe challenge. Ok, so I have to admit the first time I saw a challenge blog post a "recipe" challenge, I thought I had to cook...and I wasn't sure how that related to crafting...lol. But thankfully I now know what it means. So here is our recipe challenge for you...

1 - number element

2 - embossing

3- colors of your choice.

Now here is my take on this "cooking" challenge.Sorry the photo isn't the greatest. It took my until the sun was down to get this card done...lol. As a result the stickers I used show more then they do in real life too. Anyway...I used 1 - number on the adorable Cheerleader Cookie digi. 2- I used 2 pieces of embossed pink CS...it is hard to see from the photo, but the base CS is embossed as well as the small pink rectangle behind Cookie. 3 - Three colors - pink, green, white!

Well that is all for now...head on over to the Sweet 'n Sassy Digi Challenge Blog and see what the rest of the DT gals have created. Then play along...or should I say "cook"...lol.

SNSSDC - Tags

Hi there. Today we have a new challenge for you at the Sweet 'n Sassy Digi Challenge. This time, we challenge you to create a TAG using a digi image (of course!). Well the timing of this one worked out perfect for me. Last weekend we made teacher gifts, and I just need to add a tag to them. So...I did some "mass producing" using the adorable Cocoa's Stocking Digi.
Wow that picture makes it look like I made ton of them...lol. There are really only 11. I colored the digi images with watercolor crayons. There are 3 different "styles". I trimmed them down, and layered onto a piece of PP from Echo Park. I added some ribbon (which by the way I ironed...lol), and hand wrote the To: and From:. This weekend I will have my DDs fill in the names.
Now head on over to the SNSSDC Blog and see the rest of the tags the DT gals created. Then play along!

Tea Time

Hi there. Today we have a new challenge for you at the Sweet 'n Sassy Digi Challenge Blog. Our challenge this time around is "Tea for Two". We challenge you to use a digi image to create a tea themed project. Here is mine. I started with the adorable Cocoa mouse and his tea cup. I colored with watercolor crayons, and trimmed him down. Then I began my layering. The papers I used are all from one of the Sweet 'n Sassy Stamps kits of the month. These kits are great...not only do you get a stamp set, ribbons, papers, and embellishments, but also IDEAS!!!! The LO of my card is also one of the LOs from the July 2011 KOTM. They really are a great deal, and a great way to get ideas.

Now head on over to the SNSSDC Blog, and see what the rest of the DT gals have created for your inspiration, then play along!

Creative Belli - Winter/Christmas

Hi there. Soooo sorry for my lack of posts, and my late post today. I have had a lot going on, as most of us do this time of year. Plus to add to it, I have been subbing at my DDs' school this week. Sooo...nothing is getting done...lol. And like most of us, I have a lot going on in my personal life right now. Well, today is Wednesday, so we have a new challenge for you at the Creative Belli Challenge. Our challenge this time around is winter or Christmas. Here is what I came up with. I started by stamping this beautiful Pointsetta Flower stamp from Biblical Impressions. This stamp is actually the featured stamp this month for Biblical Impressions Stamps. Check out the details HERE on what you can do with this stamp. For mine, I stamped it and colored with watercolor crayons. I did some paper piecing on the leaves. I layered onto some PP from my stash (my "old" embellishment for the Belli Challenge), and layered that onto the red background PP. I used a rub-on for my sentiment, and added some little red gems to the corners. Last, I added some stickles to the center.

Head on over to the Creative Belli Challenge and see what the rest of the DT ladies have created. Then play along and link up your project for us to see!

SNSSDC - Gifts

Hi there. Today we have a new challenge for you at the Sweet 'n Sassy Digi challenge. Our challenge this time is to create a gift for someone using a digi image on it. I started with this adorable little Rhubarb Stocking digi from SNSS. I printed him out and colored with colored pencils. I added some smootch to the "white" parts of the stocking. Then I fussy cut him down. Next, I layered him onto the PP that I used to make this......ornament gift! My in-laws needed an ornament with a photo of my youngest DD, so I thought this would be perfect! I started with an acrylic "coaster" from Maya Road. I cut the PP from Nikki Sivils to fit. I wanted the photo to stay protected over the years, so I put the acrylic piece over the paper. The 2011 is stickers. Last, I added some ribbon to be the "hook". Oh yeah...and when I showed my DD the ornament of her, she felt the need to do this... ...and I LOVE IT!!!!! She wanted grandma and grandpa to know it was from her...lol. Now...head on over to the Sweet 'n Sassy Digi Blog and see what other gifts the DT gals have created. Then play along with us! Can't wait to see what you come up with!

Mom's Kitchen Rules

Hi there. I have been wanting to make this project all month, but haven't been able to get the supplies...well today I finally got them all! Earlier this week I bought the wooden plaque, and today I found the paper and the little embellishments at my LSS. All this to use with the awesome Moms Kitchen stamp from Biblical Impressions. Isn't it cute! I know I have seen this saying or something similar before, but I just loved it when I saw the stamp in the Biblical Impressions store. I started by using some white paint along the edges of the wooden plaque. Then I used Modge Podge to put the kitchen themed paper onto the plaque. I stamped the image onto white CS, and cute with my CM cutting system. While I was looking around my LSS today, the girl working pointed out the little kitchen embellishments. Funny, they were the same company as the paper! So I said...yeah, that will go perfect! They already had sticky stuff on the backs of them, so they were super easy to add onto the plaque. I really think they added so much to it too. Well that is all for now! I finally feel like my mojo is slowly coming back. This was actually my 2nd project I made today! The other one I will be sharing with you on Friday. Thanks for stopping by!
