I want to share a few pictures with you that were taken today. We had a costume contest at work and low & behold, I won! Yay for me!!! Here I am, as Cat in the Hat.



Here is a cute Halloween card I made. I just love this little girl. She kinda reminds me of my daughter! She's from Pink Cat Studios.



Here is another card I made this evening. This one uses an image from All That Scraps. His name is Trevor Mummy. Isn't he cute? The sentiment is from Papertrey Ink.




This card has the cute little Trick or Treat Monster digi image from Digi Kitty. Like I mention above, Digi Kitty is having a fun challenge with some fun freebies and great blog candy! Check it out....you don't want to miss out!!! Can you see all of the orange sparkle on the monster & the glass affect on the trick-or-treat bags???



This last one was super quick & easy to put together. It's a great stamp set from Stampin Up called "Bitty Boos". I've also taken a close up of the stamped image for you to see.

Ah, Serenity!



Happy Thursday! Take a deep breath & tell yourself "one more day". One more day until Friday!!!!! I work for the weekends and I am sure I am not alone! I made this card with that in mind.

This is a super duper cute stamp set from My Favorite Things called "Serenity Now". I paper pieced the tank top & lounge pants. There is a close up pic to see it better. :-)



I used a combination of Making Memories & CTMH cardstock; CTMH marker; SU satin ribbon; Cuttlebug Swiss Dots embossing folder; SU paper punches; and pop dots for dimension.

I will be back tomorrow to share with you a wonderful Blog Hop. Curious? Take a sneak peek here.

Happy Wednesday!!!!

I just fell in love with this new digi stamp I ran across at the Little Paper Shop. It's called "Owl always love you". He can go with the just about any paper....gotta love that!

I used Bo Bunny cardstock; Cuttlebug Swirls folder; random ribbon from Michaels; CTMH brads and my new Copic markers! I also put liquid glass on the owl's eyes (can't really tell with this photo) and pop dots all through out for dimension.

It's Digi Kitty Monday Challenge Time!!!




Hi there! It's time for the Digi Kitty Monday Challenge. The challenge for this week was to use Autumn colors (gold, orange, brown & red). For my card, I used the Digi Kitty "Punkins" stamp. I like this set because you can use it for Fall, Halloween & Thanksgiving! Very versatile. :-)

Click here to participate in this challenge.

I used Making Memories & CTMH cardstock, ribbon from the Target dollar bin, Fall stamp set from the Michael's dollar bin, the punch is from SU, SU colored pencils, CTMH markers, and Pebbles, Inc. sparkle chalk. I love using pop dots to add dimension, which is all through out the card.

Please visit the Digi Kitty Design Team Members blogs for some more Autumn Creations!

Good luck!

Halloween Birthday?



My mom's birthday is ON Halloween and each year I try to make her a cute witch-themed Halloween/Birthday card. Pink Cat Studio has THE cutest little witch girl digi stamp, so I turned her into my mom. (No offense mom....you are not a witch!).

The cardstock is a combination of CTMH and Making Memories; the sentiment is Papertrey Ink; the ribbon is CTMH; the markers are CTMH, the scalloped paper punch is SU; the eyelets are SU; and the witch is bedazzled with Stickles glitter glue. As always, pop-dots are all throughout this card for dimension! The ribbon was masquerading as a spider with it's web. Do you see it? Plus, I have a thing for threes. It must be the odd number, but I like to add brads or buttons, etc in threes. Kooky...I know!

Have a fabulous weekend. I will be back with a fun new challenge from Digi Kitty very soon. Oh by the way, take a look at my badge, notice anything new?? I made it onto the Digi Kitty Design Team!!! Woo hoo!

Be back REAL soon! :-)

So Thankful...



I just love Fall colors. I also love this cute little digital stamp called "Pure Innocence". There is a whole line with this little girl. I had to get it because it reminded me of my daughter. And, to be perfectly honest, I went digital stamp shopping one evening and went crazy. I have absolutely no idea where I found her! If I remember, I will update this post.

The cardstock is by Autumn Leaves; the satin ribbon is SU; the buttons are from Walmart (wally-world); I used CTMH markers; and the punch is from SU. And of course there are pop-dots so there little girl just pops off the card. (well, in person she does).

Hope you have a Fabulous Friday. I have a surprise for you So check back later....

Wicked!



Hi there ~ Well, I was able to find time this evening to stamp some more once I was able to put the baby down for the night. I tell ya....I really love this digi stamp I used. It is another Digi Kitty stamp called "If The Shoe Fits". It has so much potential! Great for Halloween as witch legs and also at Christmas time as elf legs! Check out the Digi Kitty Shoppe here

The cardstock is CTMH; the ribbon is from Michaels; CTMH markers; I used Stickles on everything that was black (in person it is really glittery & sparkly); and the brads I have no clue where they came from (other than my craft table!). I love using pop dots to add dimension. It's a pretty simple card, but sometimes simple is all you need!

Hope you have a fabulous day! I will be back with more...

Looky looky...



I found time to do a card!!!! And it's a Halloween card...my favorite holiday! My girlfriend, Michelle introduced me to digital stamps recently.

This is from Digi Kitty. Digi Kitty has a challenge and the requirements were to use this digital image called "Jack" and halloween colors (black, purple, orange & green). Click here to read all about the challenge.

I have to be honest, this was actually a fun card to make! My cardstock is CTMH and Making Memories; markers & colored pencils are also CTMH; ribbon is from Michaels and so are the eyelets. The squares and the pumpkins are all pop-dotted, but the picture doesn't really show all of the dimensions. I'm a little rusty with my camera!

I will be back with another card soon. Mama's on a roll! :-)

Time sure does fly by...



Ok, someone please tell me where the time has gone. I decided to take a little break from stamping and low & behold....it's October already!!! My daughter just turned 1! How??? Here's the little munchkin with her first cupcake.

Well, I am dipping my foot back in the stamping pool. I just got them wet on Sunday when I stamped my daughter's thank you cards. I was so out of the game, I couldn't remember the measurement of a card! lol. (not to mention, I made all 10 cards and mailed them out without scanning one in first!!!!). Oh well. I will be back VERY soon with some more creations. Until then, take care!
