Smile...Camera

Just a quick post today with a real quick and simple card.

I love this sentiment and it reminds me that no matter how bad things may get, it could be worse.  I keep a smile as much as I can.

Happy Sunday!

The {Stamps} of Life New Releases

Today is new release day over at The {Stamps} of Life, with a release of three fabulous new sets (in addition to the monthly stamp boots4rain)

I am playing with Framefive2stamp and Birthday4subways, so make sure to come back over the next week while I share some more of my creations using these sets.

Here are a few to hopefully spark your creativity.

Card details:

Stamps: Framefive2stamp from The {Stamps} of Life

Cardstock: Basic Black, Tempting Turquoise, Teresa Collins Tell Your Story

Inks: Color Box by Stephanie Barnard- Licorice

Embellishments: Sizzix Flowers Framelits, circle punch, Michael's rhinestone

For this one, I used the chevron frame to create my own background paper, they are easy to line up since they are clear and I thought it made a unique background.

Cardstock: Basic Black, Green With Envy

Embellishments: rhinestones

This is a page for my Project Life album of my son's 5th birthday a few months ago.  I  love this set-lots of great phrases on one large stamp.

Stamps: Birthday4subways and Back2Basics from The {Stamps} of Life

Cardstock: Basic Black, Whisper White, Creamsicle Cardigan and Green With Envy

Inks: Color Box by Stephanie Barnard- Licorice and Tangerine (reinker)

Embellishments: Washi Tape from Crafty Steals, chipboard from Urban Couture

For my next card (my hubby will be hitting this milestone next week), I masked off the other sentiments on the Birthday4subways set to just use the one sentiment.  I stamped it on one of my Project Life cards and adhered it with some washi tape.  These chipboard letters have been in my stash for awhile but I'm finally using them.

Thanks for stopping by and visiting me today-make sure to come back tomorrow for Blogger's Challenge.

Thank You

Just a quick share of one of the thank you cards I created for my brother to give some of his students.  I hadn't played a ton with my washi tape so I broke out a few colors of it to create this.

My youngest two had a blast playing with my washi tape and making cards this weekend as well.  Normally I'm stingy with my supplies (they have their own) but when she saw me making this card she wanted to make one of her own.  Figured I had enough and she did good with it. (see picture below).

Hope your Monday is off to a great start!

Hey There

I was able to squeeze in a little stamping time on Friday night and had a few challenges I enjoy playing in open so I plugged along for as long as I could before my eyes wouldn't stay open.

This is for the current The Play Date Cafe Challenge to use black, white, and a splash of blue.  Guess I went a little overboard on the blue huh?  I love blue though!!!

I hope you don't want to puke flowers when you see the next few days worth of cards from me :-)  I just tend to navigate straight for the floral stamps whenever I can.  I did break out some of my washi tape that I just received from Freckled Fawn.  This is the plaid blue & green tape that I used on my card.  (I see another addiction to my growing paper stash)

The sketch is an older one from Merry Monday Challenge.  Missed the deadline to play but I still enjoyed the sketch!
