A Few Cards

Hi everyone! Wanted to share a few cards I made for my nephews. Both of their birthdays are this week ~ one is turning 6 and the other is turning 3, but the 6 year old is also graduating from Kindergarden!! How fast they grow!! So I thought it would be special to make them both cards. I tried to keep them simple, without all the bling and stuff because the cards were for boys. I also just got a few of my A2 die cuts in the mail from Accucut - so wanted to play with them!

This card is for the kinder grad ~ it features the Bo Bunny Astro boy collection, as well a stamped Star Boy Luka from LaLa Land Crafts that I colored with my Copics. The background die cut is from my one of my new Accucut dies.



This card is a birthday card for the same little guy ~ it features papers from Cosmo Crickets "Wanted" collection and the awesome Ian stamp from TGF that I colored with my Copics. Also included are more stamps and dies from MFT, a Nestie label die, an Accucut die and some twine from my stash!




Lastly, this is the birthday card for the 3 year old! The card features papers and embellies from My Minds Eye Stella and Rose "Hattie" collection. It also includes the Just Bee Yourself Stamp that I colored with my Copics and dies from MFT.  The sentiment is a wood mounted stamp from memory box and the backgound die is another Accucut die.



Hope you enjoyed and thanks for stopping by!

Image Tag Swap Share

Hi guys just wanted to quickly share the images I am sharing for an image tag swap that Steph @withagrin.blogspot is hosting! SO hard to decide which stamps to use. Was only suppose to choose two, but after finishing completion of those two, I didn't think they were good enough ~ so I did another :) Now I wanna choose others! Oh well! Many more swaps in the future!!!!


This is a Hero Arts wood mounted stamp called French Post ~



This is a Stampabilities wood mounted stamp called Wire Dress Form ~


This of course is a Tim Holtz Stampers Anonymous cling mount stamp from the Good Thoughts Collection ~



Thanks for looking!

Happy Crafting,

LSS Haul/Shopping Spree win!!

Hi guys! I wanted to quickly share a little bit of my day! I never participate in give aways and such because, being negative, I never feel I have the chance of winning. But for some reason this time I felt different! My local scrapbooking store Scrappin Time, here in Las Vegas, held a drawing for a 60 second $300 shopping spree ~ and I actually won! Wahooooo! I quickly learned that 60 seconds is a very short amount of time,  but I was able to pick up a few items that I wouldn't typically purchase. SO EXCITING! Here is a little share of the items that I threw into my basket...



Also here is the video on the haul :)

Thanks for dropping by!

A Few Cards

Hey there! Today I have a few cards I made up for a swap partner, a swap hostess, and my best friend for throwing my baby shower for me.


For the first card I colored Leslie of TGF's Creeper Crew with my Copic markers.. ADORABLE!! I paired her with Prima's Annalee paper, recollection bling, MFT's dies and stamps, a Frogfeathers blossom, and of course some Iamroses! I also utilized Lindy's Stamp Gang Starburst sprays to crinkle and add sparkly color  to my seam binding.




Next, I colored up another TGF stamp with my Copics ~ Hats off Anya ~ she's so freaking cute! I also paired her with Prima's Annalee paper and bling, MFT dies and stamps, Frogfeathers blossom and Iamroses flowers.





Lastly, I colored MFT's Pure Innocence Crazy for Daisy's stamp with my Copics and used other sentiments and dies from MFT. Again, I paired Prima's Annalee paper, recollection pearls, some card stock and paper dollies from my stash.




I hope you liked and thanks for looking :) Be sure to check out Iamroses.com, Lindystampgang.com, and Frogfeathers on Etsy ~ They have all got some amazing product!!

Happy crafting,

Hi everyone! I figured I would start my blog off with a few cards I have created. Actually, these are the first 3 cards I have ever made. I recently (like everyone else) have jumped on the copic coloring train and am addicted ~ there are so many adorable stamps out there!!


First, this is a Mother's Day card I created for my mom. It features papers from My Minds Eye Stella and Rose Hazal collection, the Birthday Marci stamp by LaLa Land Craft, as well as the clearly Sentimental about Mother's stamp set and dies from MFT and some white seam binding with Prima pearls.


This is a birthday card I made for my sister in-law. It feature papers from Glitz Designs, along with card stock from my stash, the Cheeky Rockabilly stamp by TGF, and some black satin ribbon with prima pearls.


Lastly, this is a thank you card I created for a friend of mine. It includes papers from DCWV Lemon Stack, the Crazy for Daisies Pure Innocence stamp from MFT, and some cream satin ribbon.
