Not 2 Shabby Spooky Sweet Bundle Release

Today Not 2 Shabby is releasing a super fun bundle, Spooky Sweet!! Alicia, a.k.a Crafty Al and I are doing a little collab to help celebrate this fun release!!

All my creations use the "I want it all bundle"! 

I made a mini pizza box to hold my ephemera. I am really like how these are working out in my craft room.

I used the Not 2 Shabby August 2022 sketch again for my first card. 

I think Teresa from Fresh and Renewed With Teresa makes such great sketches!

I am still obsessed with ATC's so I made a little set of them!

Lovin' that stencil and wanted to show you could use fun colors, like pink!

Anything is Possible

Today I have another card I made for a swap. This one really stretched my creativity a bit! The swap was to make a Pop-Up Window Card. You can see instructions on these type cards on Jennifer McGuire's blog HERE!

These cards are really easy and fun but I really over-complicated it, LOL! This was my 3rd attempt at it. Now that I feel I have all the kinks worked I feel this will be a favorite card to make in the future.

I will say this card was difficult to photograph but I think you can get the idea. I hope my swap partner liked it!!

Have a crafty, sparkly kinda day!

Today I have my 13th card (19 with the SCS Dirty Dozen cards this month) in the 30 projects in 30 days challenge I'm playing along with. I don't think I'm going to make it to 30 but it was fun to challenge myself to create more!

Today also starts the first day of my Dragon Theme Week! I'm going to try and start doing my Theme weeks again as I always had so much fun doing them. We'll see how it goes!!

For my first dragon card I used the super cute Tori the Dragon-Up by Conie Fong for my card today. Such an adorable dragon!! 

For my layout I used an older sketch from Sketch Saturday~

Celebrate

Today I'm sharing my third project for the 30 projects in 30 days challenge I'm in.

I used a cute Conie Fong digi, Little Blossom Holding Balloons. She's ready to help someone celebrate!! Since I had printed the image pretty large I chose to make it a very simple CAS (clean and simple) design.

Stampin' Up Sunday- Birthday Banners

Today for Stampin' Up Sunday I am sharing a card I made using the Birthday Banners stamp set. 

Would you look at that~~no coloring! LOL! I think I'm getting better at using stamps that don't require coloring. I'm always amazed at how quickly cards go together when there isn't coloring involved!

I also used the Balloon Bouquet Punch and the Bunch of Banners Framelits on this card. I love the SU has so many coordinating products!

Have a simply fabulous day and thanks for stopping by! Remember you can always order 24/7 from my website~ HERE!

With Love Lucy

I decided to take a break from redoing my stamp catalog to color and create today! I must say I am so pleased with how things are going with my stamp catalog. I can't wait for it to be done as I think it will be more useful to me now! Plus I'm going to organize my clear stamps so that will be helpful too!

I found that the Art by Miran Facebook group has a progressive challenge going on so I got the cute image, With Love Lucy, and decided to play along. 

I can never get the sparkle to show so I tried a few angles to see if it would work and look at that, it did! 

Thanks for stopping by! I hope you have a fabulous day!

Don't forget that I'm looking for a new Flutter By Team!! See all the details~ HERE!!

You guessed it! Another card using the super cute Bella & Friends stamp set. You can see the other two cards I've made with this set HERE & HERE! 

Today my card is not a strictly Stampin' Up card. I love the flexibility of all of SU products--you can use only their products and create awesome things or you can mix and match with products you may already own!!

I had to break out my copics for this sweet pair of friends. Somehow I don't think a puppy would stay still enough to be flown by a balloon but maybe! 

Have a wonderful day!! I'll be back soon with some more crafty goodness!

Monstah Bash

I decided I wanted to play along with the current Sketch Saturday sketch so I took a looksie through my stamps and found an oldie but goodie~ Monstah Bash from Stamping Bella-designed by Christy Croll. I was looking through Christy's shop today, Tiddly Inks, and found this digi, Monstrous Party that I think I'll have to get soon! It's similar but different than what I have and it will be fun to have it in digi form!

I always think it's fun to compare cards I've made using the same image so HERE'S a card I made using this same stamp in 2010!!

Here's the sketch I used~

Have a wonderful day and do something creative!!
