There's a Stamp For That- Hello Friend!

There's a new challenge at my group, There's a Stamp For That!! Challenge #19 has the themes of Dogs or Rainbows or Umbrellas. Come join the fun!!

For my card I went with the umbrella theme for my card and used a fun stamp set from Kraftin' Kimmie Stamps called Lulu and Friends. 

I was so super excited when I went to find my designer paper and found this cute umbrella paper that has been in my stash for awhile!! Yay!

I added some glossy accents to the coat, boots and umbrella to make them look a little more realistic. 

I hope you'll come and check out my lil' group! We have a lot of fun!! 

Have the best day ever!!

Count your rainbows, not your thunderstorms

Hello there and Happy Saturday!!  Today I have a card using a fun digi I colored up during a coloring challenge and decided it was time to get her on a card!

This is Puddle Hopping Tia from Some Odd Girl.  I always swear that little kids are magnets for puddles! 😀 

I put the sentiment on the inside of the card. I love these Kid Quotes and have had them for several years. I need to use them more!

Thanks for stopping by and have the best day ever!!

I can't believe I forgot your birthday!

Another belated birthday card to share today. I have decided to try my hardest to get some birthday cards out on time so that means I need to make some birthday cards along with more belated ones--maybe if I have an actual stash of cards I can get them mailed on time!!

I guess I have birthdays on my mind since August/September are our busy birthday months with Matthew, my Mom, me and Annabelle all having birthdays close to each other.

Thanks for stopping by and I'll see you again soon!

Valerie's Spring Rain

Goodness! Time does really seem to just fly by these days! I don't know that I'm really all that busy but at the same time it does feel that way! Anyhoo, onto a card for today!!

I am still on my mission to use up the Echo Park Springtime 6x6 paper pad. I thought for sure this card would do it but nope, still have enough scraps for one more card. So very close!! LOL!

This card uses a cutie pie from Whimsy Stamps called Valerie's Spring Rain by Crissy Armstrong. Oh so very adorable!! I also used the sentiment from Whimsy Stamps Everyday Moments stamp set by SC Designs. 

  

I almost thought I was going to have to start over because as I was coloring up the image, I got the dreaded copic blob.

I really liked how the image was looking so far so I decided to see if I could save it. I *think* I did a fairly good job with the help of some paper piecing! Here's the end result~

I'm entering this card into the following challenges~

• Through the Craftroom Door~ Anything Goes
• Sister Act Card Challenges~ Anything Goes

Have a fabulous day! Do something to make yourself smile!!

Rain or Shine-You're a friend of mine

I'm entering this card into the following challenges~

• SugarPea Designs- Anything Goes (although I do not want to be in the drawing for the prize as I was fortunate enough to win the last challenge-just entering for fun)
• Southern Girls Challenge- punches/die cuts
• Sister Act Card Challenge- Anything Goes

Hope you have a wonderful day and thanks for stopping by! I work all weekend but I'm hoping to still squeeze in some crafty time!

Paper Pretties Challenge-Lots of Layers

Time for another challenge at Paper Pretties! Be sure to head on over to the blog to see how you can play along and to see the other Pretties girls creations!

This week our challenge is~ Lots of Layers! How fun!! I know many, if not all, of us are ready for spring so today I used the super fun Happy Spring Polly stamp!

I'm entering this card into Card Makin Mama's Challenge of 3 layers or more. 

For my layout I used an older SFYTT~

A few weeks ago I mentioned that I was slowly replacing my older Paper Pretties stamp sets with the newer clear sets that have more sentiments. There is no sense in having 2 of these so I'm slowly giving away the older sets. Today I have Howdy Girlfriend Sophia to give away. I've used this stamp a few times and she only comes with the one sentiment.

If you'd like to be in the drawing to win her, just leave me a comment telling me what you are most looking forward to this month! I'll draw a winner next Tuesday night and announce the winner next Wednesday. (Only US residents for the drawing please)

A big Happy Birthday wish to my hubby today too!! :) Have a happy day and I'll see you back here tomorrow with some fun news!

If all else fails, add pink, sparkle and a butterfly!

Next we have a set of 4 adorable little girls with their FUN hats that make up Sampler #6. Each little girl is bound to make you smile and melt your heart.
Our final set, Sampler #7, is a variety of cute and fun! These 4 little girls remind us all of the simple pleasures of childhood from lollipop dreams to playing in the rain.
So catch up on the SCACD Store blog if you lose your way thru the hop becuase you will want to catch all the inspiration out there :)
I am the first stop on the hop but if you get lost along the way be sure to check out the SCACD store blog, Follow Your Heart, for the complete hop list!
These stamps today are just beyond adorable and are absolute must have’s!! Today I’m sharing two cards with you! The first one is from The Storybook Collection and is called All Better Now. Growing up I had a teddy bear who was my faithful and trusted friend so I am just in total love with this collection and have had fun remembering those times with my teddy.

I stamped All Better Now in Memento Tuxedo Black ink and colored the image with my copics. I cut the image out with my nestabilities. My paper is My Mind’s Eye-Indie Chic-Saffron. I also used my Garden Corner die from Dies by SCACD, which I added Smooch Glitz in Goldrush to them to add a bit of sparkle. To finish the card I added a few touches of White Opal Liquid Pearls and a few touches of stickles.

Next I am sharing the sweet Umbrella Peeker from Sampler #7. Doesn’t she look like she’s ready to have some fun playing in the rain? oh so cute!!

I stamped her in Memento Tuxedo Black ink and colored her with copics and then used my nestabilities to cut her out. I stamped her umbrella 3 extra times so I could cut them out and layer them for more dimension. I also masked the image and sponged some ink on to add some interest. My papers are Bo Bunny Barefoot & Bliss. I paper pierced the edges, added some Diamond Glaze and a few Kaisercraft rhinestones to finish the card.

 
After you hop be sure to head to SCACD to get your new stamps and be sure to look around because there’s lots of fabulous new goodies there! and for our International friends, these stamps will be available at Quixotic Paperie.
