SHIVER ME TIMBERS / CQC #204 & TAWS Sneak Peeks Day 1...

Good morning! It's Tuesday, so not only is there another new colourQ Challenge... it's also the first day of Sneak Peeks at The Alley Way Stamps! This new set, Treasure Island is super fun! AND, one lucky commentor over at the TAWS blog is going to win it for free!

After stamping the panel, I placed a piece of wax paper over it, set the colored pieces of paper on top and was able to line up the image to stamp the white ink. I dusted them with embossing powder and that's it - easy peas~y!

 Be sure to pop over to both blogs to check out the inspiration, play along at the colourQ and leave a comment over at TAWS!

Thanks so much for stopping by~

HELLO / RS #78...

Yesterday began a new challenge over at RetroSketches - the sketch is based on one of Kasia's cards - I love it! I used the new set, Stackem' High from The Alley Way Stamps, and an oldie, Doodle Frames. This was a super fast card to make. Be sure to go see the other inspiration at RetroSketches and play along with us!

Big hugs!

MISS YOU / Iron Craft...

Here's a card that Chaitali used this past week for a little Iron Craft contest over on her Facebook page... I used Sittin' Pretty. This is such a cute, fun set to paper piece! 

Bye for now,

KANGAROO MOTHER / ADFD new Release & Challenge...

So make sure you go grab it! Our new challenge is to "Add A Ruffle",  so I added some eyelet trim to this card using the image Kangaroo Mother.

LOVE YOU / DS #115...

Good morning and happy Thursday! I have a little card today for the Deconstructed Sketch  - isn't this a fun one? These types of sketches are so great for using patterned papers! I was rifling through some of my printed digital images and found this cutie, Girl Holding Flower by Jellypark! I love her images, I really should color more of them up!

Be sure to head over to Deconstructed, see all the wonderful inspiration and play along with us!

Have an awesome day!!!!

HOLIDAY SPARKLES / DD #66 & FTL #254...

I got to stamp for fun today - LOL! Well, it's FUN every time I stamp, so I suppose I mean I got to stamp a card that's not for an assignment! I also played along with some challenges, which is awesome! I used Stackem' High (I masked my card base with sticky notes to stamp the border) and Holiday Sparkles.

I played along with Dynamic Duos, the Fall-to Layout at Clean & Simple and Just Add Ink - YAY ME! You know I love challenges, and I am trying to get back to playing with my favorites!

Big hugs!!!
