There's a Stamp For That #55- Boys or Horses or Circles

I'm a little late in sharing my inspiration for the current challenge at my group, There's a Stamp For That. Challenge #55 has the themes of Boys or Horses or Circles. The challenge ends tomorrow night at midnight but at least I got one card done for it! I went with the horses theme!

For my card today I used a La La Land Crafts Club Kit from October 2016. I think this is the first time I used it. So fun and I really like how my card turned out!!

The kit is no longer available but I did find the Cowboy Boots Marci as a digital stamp and the Southwestern Border Die is still in stock too.

If you haven't already, come on over and join my group, There's a Stamp For That and join in the fun!!

La La Land Crafts October 2016 Kit, Catherine Pooler Cardstock, Memento Tuxedo Black Ink, Copics, SU Cardstock and Ink, Scan N Cut, Carta Bella Giddy Up 6x6 Paper Pad, Honey Bee Hugs and Kisses Gem Stickers, White Pen,

Good Pony take 2!

A friend really liked THIS card and asked if I could make her a similar one. I don't know why but when people ask me to make specific cards I get nervous but regardless I said I'd try.

Good Pony

I've been waiting for some time to just sit and play and this weekend that finally happened!

I had so much fun with this card using a stamp by Crissy Armstrong for Whimsy Stamps~ Good Pony. Belle is really in a "horse" phase right now so I've been stocking up on horse related stamps plus it helps me tackle my fear of coloring animals.

Here's Belle's fabulous coloring of this great stamp~ She's 9 for those that don't know.

And here's my creation~

I colored the image with copics and then paired it with my favorite Carta Bella Giddy Up paper. The sentiment is from my SU Oval All set and then punched out with SU punches. I used my favorite Martha Stewart butterfly punch and then used this handy tip to make the pennants/flags! I added some sparkle with stickles and then a few pearls finished off the card.

I'm entering this card into the following challenges~

• Through the Craftroom Door~Anything Goes

Cowgirl Lili

Do you believe in love at first sight? Well I'm here to tell you, it happens. The moment I saw this gorgeous pad of paper, I was smitten. in love. had to have it!

I waited and waited for it to be released and then it happened. I spied it at i {heart} papers!! I tried my hardest to talk myself out of it but in the end, in my cart it went. This was the first time I had ordered from this online store, but after the super speedy shipping, it won't be the last!!

My beloved paper arrived yesterday and it's been sitting on my desk, taunting me because now comes the dilema...to actually use it or just admire it...hoard it. LOL!! I chose to take the plunge and use it!! After all, I have discovered I might have a wee bit of a cowgirl stamp obsession as I  believe I have around 18 cowgirl stamps with more on my wishlist. 

So here's my first creation with my love...hehe!! This is Cowgirl Lili! 

My layout is from a sketch on SCS~

I rarely do color challenges as they sort of freak me out, but I thought I'd try to play along with this week's There She Goes Challenge which is to use yellow, blue and a neutral. 

It also gave me a great excuse to ink up my new Giddy Up set!

My last DT post for SCACD

I don't even know where to start this post. It seems sort of surreal to me to be posting a "last DT" post for SCACD. SCACD has been such a part of my life for the past 4 years and especially for the last year when I've been the DT Coordinator. 

While I am stepping away from the DT, SCACD will always remain in my heart...as Susana will. I have learned so much from the team--from Susana. I have been challenged to step outside my comfy box and spread my creative wings and I am just so grateful.

I don't know what else to really say--what do you say in situations like this? So I'll just leave it at a great big THANK YOU to Susana for the wonderful 4 years on her team and I'm looking forward to the future as a friend of SCACD.

Here's my last "official" creation~ I had the hardest time trying to decide what stamp to use for my card but finally decided to use one of my most favorite stamps, Taylor from Victoria Case for SCACD. I inked her up with Memento Tuxedo Black ink and colored her with copics. My paper is American Crafts-Dear Lizzy-5th & Frolic.

To finish the card I added some Kaisercraft pearls and stickles. I want some sparkly pink cowgirl boots and hat--how about you?

And as a special tribute, here is a slideshow I put together of all my SCACD creations from 2012.

Sending huge hugs to all my SCACD sisters and Susana...I will really miss you all! but never fear, I will still keep an eye on you all in blogland and through the SCACD store blog!

In a rut…

I feel like my stamping is in a rut these days. That all my cards look the same, which I know they really don’t but I feel I’ve gotten lazy about taking the time to add details to them and therefore, I’m just so-so about most of them.
Does anyone else get into a rut like that? I decided to stop and take some time to cruise through blogland and SplitCoast Stampers to really look at the cards that catch my eye. What makes them stand out? Why do I like them? how can I improve my own? We’ll see if it helps any..LOL!
Today I am using an digi from Some Odd Girl- Cowgirl Mae. I colored her last week at the new stamp group I went to. I wish I had colored either her hair or shirt different as they sort of blend together but I made her shirt sparkly so maybe it would stand out. Once I colored her with copics I cut her out and added some stickles for some sparkle.

As I was getting ready to put the card together I decided to see what the challenge this month was at Some Odd Girl and discovered it was a sketch so I decided to play along.
Here’s the sketch~

I thought My Mind’s Eye-Lime Twist-Fly A Kite designer papers would be fun with Cowgirl Mae.  I’m pleased with how the card turned out. I kept thinking it needed one more somethin’ but couldn’t figure out what so I just left it.

Have a wonderful day full of smiles!

Wryn- Howdy Cowgirl

Still going through my folder of printed digi’s. This cutie pie from Tiddly Inks  hollered at me and said color me up and get me on a card, who was I to argue!
