*********************************

I decided to switch things up a bit and make a 3D scene today instead of a card. These are my absolute favorite projects to do because I put them in frames and hang them up in my craft room I usually go all out and make everything 3D on these projects but since this was a spur of the moment (read: I procrastinated lol) idea, I didn’t make the farm scene 3D. That is totally on my list of soon to make projects though, how cute would that be???

Mother Of All Blog Hops: Day 2!!

 

Hello, Stampers!

Welcome to the 3rd annual Mother of All Blog Hops sponsored by There She Goes Clears Stamps!   This weekend, we (customers and trendsetters!) will be featuring some of our favorite There She Goes Clear Stamp sets!   Not only that, we’re going to give YOU a chance to win some fabulous prizes!

To find out how to score the prizes (over $400 worth of prizes being given away!!!!), please go to the There She Goes’ blog and read the simple instructions.

The stamp set that I used for day 2 of our fabulous hop is Poppies illustrated by Chris Dark. This is among my favorite flower stamp sets in the TSG collection and it has been calling me to ink it up since it was feeling a bit neglected by the new sets that keep joining our family  

Instead of going the traditional route and just using red, orange and yellows, I wanted to add a couple of other more non-traditional colors to add a little ‘pop’ to the otherwise simplistic design. If you look closely, you will also notice that I stamped the poppies in Crumb Cake ink to add some more depth to the background.

Images were stamped in Momento Tuxedo Black ink and colored with Prismacolor Pencils.

Mother Of All Blog Hops- Day 1!!!!!

Hello, Stampers!

Welcome to the 3rd annual Mother of All Blog Hops sponsored by There She Goes Clears Stamps!

************************

While trying to decide which TSG stamp sets I wanted to use I realized that in all of the excitement of posting about Kylie’s Make A Wish trip, I never did share that card that I made for her special birthday!

This birthday was extra special because it was both her Golden Birthday (turning 9 on April 9th) AND she got to spend it on an amazing trip to Florida filled with memories that will last a lifetime for our family

Since this was her Golden Birthday, I used all types of yellow/gold tones for this card along with lots of sparkle and rhinestones (diamonds are her birthstone ). You may be wondering why I picked this stamp set for my daughters birthday card huh? Well, truth is- she requested it lol! That’s right a couple of months before her birthday she told me that she wanted me to make her birthday card using the goat and that she wanted it to be eating flowers out of the toilet. Crazy kid, where does she get these things??? Must be from her dad

And of course I had to add one of my favorite ruffle edged ribbons from the Ribboncarousel.com!

TSG stamp sets used to create this card:

Tastes Like Chicken
Rain & Sunshine
Under The Weather
Make A Wish
Blossom by blossom
Pumpkins On The Vine

Check out all of these other fabulous creations made by the participants in this year's MOABH part 1!

TSG154 Flower Challenge- Just For You

TSG154 May Flowers

This week our challenge is brought to us by our Trendsetter of the week, Laurel! She is challenging us to make a card or project using May flowers!! Since April is almost over, and we all know how the saying goes, it is time for May flowers, so be sure to use SOMETHING floral on your card, whether it be paper, stamps, or embellishments.

I have been pretty good about playing along in the TSG challenges but actually blogging my creations afterwards? Not so much lol! I really am trying to get better at this whole blogging thing but I get distracted easily so sitting through an entire blog post is nearly impossible

I’m really going to work on getting to be a better blogger so bear with me if my posts are short and sweet. Besides you just want to see the cards anyways right??

Stamps: Just For You
Accessories: Ribbon from RibbonCarousel.com , dimensionals, adhesive pearls, sponge, SU scallop border punch, sewing machine, edge distressor
Ink: Momento Tuxedo Black, Early Espresso

Happy Birthday Ribbon Carousel!

This month the RibbonCarousel.com is celebrating their 1st birthday! I am so proud of all that Corinna has achieved during this first year and I know that things will only get better from here

I created a birthday card using the stamp set Ba Donkey Donk (it would be a crime not to lol) and the party hat the donkey is wearing is from the set Numbered Days . Images were colored using Prismacolor pencils. And of course I had to use some of my favorite pleated satin ribbon and DP both from RibbonCarousel.com!

So very happy birthday to Ribbon Carousel and way to go Corinna on creating such a fabulous company!!

Make sure you stop by the other blogs that are participating in this celebration!

Thanks for joining us on this Blog Hop Birthday Celebration for the Ribbon Carousel!! Thanks for a great year, and happy hopping!!
