TE Key Ingredients June 2010 Kit- MFT Stamps

**Edited to add that life happened and Kristie will not have a post up today! Hopefully things will settle down and she'll be able to create next month!**

My friend Kristie and I did a little collab last month using our older Taylored Expressions Key Ingredients Kits. We had so much fun that we decided to do it again this month!! You can see my video from last month HERE! Kristie's post from last month is HERE!

I was running low on mojo so I looked to some sketches to get my creativity going!

First up I used Mojo Monday Sketch #541.

After looking through my stamps I decided on the MFT Pure Innocence stamp, Sunny Smiles. I adore her shirt! It makes me smile!

The next sketch I found was from a challenge blog that is no longer around but I still have their sketches saved in Pinterest as they are great! The Sweet Stop Sketch 70.

I pulled out my MFT Blooming Friendship stamp set to go with this sketch. It's such a cute set!

For my last card I thought this sketch from MFT looked fun! MFT Sketch #551.

I decided to pair this fun sketch with the MFT Adorable Elephants stamp set Love those sweet elephants!

Thanks so much for stopping by and be sure to check out my video HERE sharing all these cards and be sure to visit Kristie and see her creations too!!

Happy Birthday You Party Animal

I am trying to give out birthday cards at work this year to more people so I decided I better build up my stash!

I thought the Kraftin' Kimmie Stamps Party Animals stamp set was a fun one to start with. Don't they look like they are just having so much fun? 

I would love to be able to celebrate with these animals. Many years we've gone to the zoo on my birthday. This year we're going to go out to eat at Bonefish Grill and then the following week we're off to the races! I can't wait! Just a local racetrack but I'm excited as I have always enjoyed watching the races (and even thought at one time about being a driver!).

My designer paper is from a Michael's Hot Buy Paper Pad. I had never heard of these and never bought any until my friend, Alicia from Call Me Crafty Al talked about them. I just happen to be at Michael's recently when they were on sale and accidentally came home with 3 of them. LOL! I thought this Happy Cake Day pad was super fun and will come in handy for birthday cards!

Thanks for stopping by and have a fabulous day!

Safari Fun Trio

Today's card is for the current CCEE Stampers Challenge of Zoo Lovers Day, one of my favorite days! You must have at least one zoo animal on your card.

As I was driving to work after seeing this challenge I thought of a card to create. Fast forward a day or so and then I couldn't remember it at all and was so frustrated until I took my daughter out to practice driving and it came back to me, yay!!

I thought the retired Safari Fun stamp set from Kraftin' Kimmie Stamps was perfect for this challenge and even more fun to use it on a slimline card!! And then I got out my stamps and realized that they were too large to use them all on a slimline so I had to rethink my plan. LOL! Such is the creative process, right? 

I then had a brilliant idea, if I do say so myself, and decided it would be so fun to create another side flap trifold card!! You can see the first one I made HERE!

And then as I was stamping I decided that the side flap just wouldn't work with all the images so I just decided to make three separate cards because I really wanted to color up all these cute stamps! Yup, creative process is all over the place sometimes!

I really had fun coloring up these fun stamps and creating with them. So thankful for challenges to keep the creativity flowing!!

Have a super day!

Thanks a TON!

I colored up this sweet elephant from the SugarPea Designs set, Tons of Fun, on Day 28 of the 30 Day Coloring Challenge. I think he's so adorable! I colored him up using prismacolor pencils and blended with mineral spirits.

I really like how the card came together! It makes me smile!

Have a wonderful day! and smile!
