Snowman & a Surprise

Hey friends & crafters! I woke up to a fun surprise this morning. One of my cards is up on the Paper Crafts blog  with an amazingly cute card by Teri Anderson. I'm smiling. Today's card features the super cute Freezy Fellas  by Paper Smooches. I couldn't resist playing dress up with the snowman. There are so many was to deck him (or her) out. I also love the mismatched hearts. I think it makes the card a little bit more playful.   Purposely not perfect = fun.      Have a great day!

JFF Thursday

Happy Thursday! Today's card is JFF, Just For Fun! :) I recently got Paper Smooches new stamp set Cyber Cafe . I love how it works so well with Teen Routine . Oh and the www.hello.com sentiment? Amazing! The fun coffee stains are also from Cyber Cafe, the word bubble (that I had laying out from the card I last posted) is from He Said She Said  and I even stamped some Lawn Fawn Interlocking Backdrops .   Hope you have some time to play JFF or if you need a little boost try out Paper Smooches Sparks current challenge . :)   Have a great day!

Hi Everyone! It's a happy happy day here! I'm excited to announce that I'm officially part of the new Paper Smooches Sparks design team . TOO COOL! Seriously. I've been a big BIG fan of Paper Smooches from the beginning and am thrilled to get to do a little design work for them. :) The term starts next month so it won't be long until I'm sharing more crafty goodness and hopefully inspiring YOU to play along with the Sparks challenges.   My card today uses my favorite sentiment sets Chit Chat and Sentiment Sampler . It also has the Newspaper Background stamp from Hero Arts.   Thanks for stopping by!

All Smiles

Hi blog readers! I'm really excited to share my card today using the very new very cool stamps from a new stamp company called Mama Elephant . They are so fun and easy to stamp. Love. I'll let the card do the rest of the talking. All the stamps are from We Click  including the awesome washi tape (!!!!!). Oh, and those fun papers are from a THIS new 6x6 pad which I know will be a basic in my supplies for awhile. Hope you are enjoying your weekend! More soon! :)

On a Roll

Hi everyone! I've been creating cards like crazy the last couple of days so I thought I'd share 3 today! The first up is for the current Paper Smooches Sparks challenge HERE .   I made this card with all the different colors and a little bit of kraft. The words are from Christmas Sampler and the tree and decorations are from All Yule Need .    Next up is an older Paper Smooches Sparks challenge.     This one uses the same same stamp sets as the ones above (yep, I LOVE them).    Finally, just a card with no challenges attached. I had to play with the little fox from Chilly Chums . The sentiment is from Christmas Sampler but I think they belong together. Don't you think?  Thanks for stopping by today!

Joy to the World

Hi Everyone! Back again with another Paper Smooches Sparks inspired card. This time its an older challenge but it was still fun to play along.   I really loved the neutral background with the bold pop of color so I took my card in that direction. The stamps are from the new All You Need Christmas set.  Thanks for stopping by!

Cool Walrus

Hi Everyone! I took a little time today to play with the current Paper Smooches Sparks sketch challenge.     I absolutely adore the current Paper Smooches release. Its ALL wonderful, cute and fun! I saw the sketch and thought of putting the walrus floating on an iceberg. Isn't his expression (or lack there of) the best?   Thanks for stopping by! I hope to be back soon to share some recent pubs (including my first cover)! :)

You Rock

Hi Everyone! Another quick card share today... This card uses Paper Smooches Perpetual Bliss and the set I use ALL THE TIME Sentiment Sampler . Most (if not all) of the papers are from My Mind's Eye Be Amazing 6x6 pad. Have a great day!

Birthday Flowers

Here is a card I recently created for my Mom. I'm really enjoying the flower in the Pretty Momma Paper Smooches set. Here I simply stamped it on three papers, trimmed just the flower out and die cut felt leaves from Papertrey Ink's Sending You collection. The papers are all from My Mind's Eye and the sentiment is from Sentiment Sampler . Thanks for stopping by today! Have a great day!

Thanks Teacher

Hi Everyone! My posts have slowed down because life has been crazy but I wanted to pop in to share my Paper Smooches Sparks card for this week. With the end of the school year just a few weeks away I lots of school related things on my mind. It seems like there is SO much to do in the final weeks and my son is only in preschool! :) The sketch totally reminding me of drawing. So this idea came to mind right away and I'm super excited that it turned out! I used Smarty Pants and Geo-Graphic  from Paper Smooches! The die is Wonky Scallop from My Favorite Things. Hope you are enjoying your weekend!
