Magical Monday Challenge & Stamp and Create Product Spotlight

Hello stamping friends!

I hope you had a lovely weekend. We have a fun-filled one. On Saturday morning we had a birthday party at the beach for one of our friend's little 4 year old daughter. Then Saturday night a friend of ours had a "wine tasting party". Oh my, we had so much fun!! But, man...I "might" have drank a little too much wine! (wink, wink)!! Yesterday we had Life Group/Bible Study, a little stamping, and church Sunday night. 

This week Soccer practice starts and it looks like it's going to be a busy schedule. We haven't gotten the final schedule, but it appears that we will have practice Monday night for Ansley, Tuesday night for Ryan, Wednesday night of Ansley, then Thursday night for Ryan followed by games on saturday morning for Ryan and Saturday afternoon for Ansley!! Lord help me now!! The first game is on Sept 10th (which happens to be Ansley's 9th birthday). I'm already stressed out!!

Birthday Boy - Wags 'n Whiskers

Hello stamping friends!!

I hope you are having a lovely weekend so far! We've had a fun weekend with a friend's birthday party and then "game night" with two other families. But, man, now I'm exhausted. I'm watching the Women's World Cup at the moment, and just praying that the US is able to win!

Since I'm not very goo at doing one thing at a time well, I decided to make my nephew's birthday card while watching the soccer game.

The challenge over at Wags 'n Whiskers is: Birthday. So this is a mid-challenge card...

My nephew is having is birthday party at a go-cart place. So I thought Speed Racer by Wags 'n Whiskers would be a perfect image for his card. I added the fire from High Hopes Dragon's Finger set.

The papers are the new Splash by Echo Park. I also added some Basic Gray buttons, Kaisercraft rhinestones, punched stars, embossing thread, and die cut "6". The sentiment is Buddy's Birthday Sentiment from High Hopes.

 

This card is also for the following challenges:

Birthday Sundaes: Anything Goes (must have a birthday sentiment)

Here Goes the Boys: Sporty (yes, car racing is actually considered a sport!)

Sweet Stampin: One for the Boys

Always something Creative: Yellow and another color

Thanks for stopping by! Happy stamping!

Wild Things - Magical Monday Challenge: Textures

Hello Stamping friends!!

Happy Monday to you. Did you do anything special this weekend? My family met up with 2 other families at Wild Adventures in Valdosta, Georgia on Saturday. There were conflicting weather reports between weather.com and the weather app on my iphone (both are supposed to be from the Weather Channel). One said it would be on ok morning with rain in the afternoon and the other one said rain all day. So we took the change and drove an hour and a half to Valdosta and when we arrived, the skies were clear...for about an hour! 

Unfortunately, we wasted about a half hour in line on a ride that broke just as we were getting on. We saw some clouds heading our way so we decided to head to the water park to get some water fun in while we can. Well, after 1 lap in the lazy river, the skies opened up and it started raining. And that started the on again-off again, but mostly on, spell of rain, thunder, and lightning all day!

We did manage to get about 45 in at the water park and ride 2 rides. But that was about it! We were able to get rain checks since it rained most of the day. At least the kids had a blast playing in the rain!! After the thunder stopped, they still hadn't opened the rides so we let the kids play and burn off some energy...

My kids are the two on the left. The other two boys are friends of ours and we had 3 younger girls with us as well. 

Ok, it's time for a new Magical Monday Challenge.

This week's challenge is: Two Textures

Remember you MUST use a Magical Character on your project (Angel, Mermaid, Fairy, or Dragon).

We are being sponsored this challenge by me and Stamp and Create...

Here is my card...

This little cutie is "King of The Wild Things" by Stamping Bella. I fell in love with him as soon as I saw him!! What little boy doesn't like to dress up like a Dragon?!

The papers are Campfire by October Afternoon. I also used a Magical Mini Letter Seals sentiment, and net fibers

The sketch is from the new Pink Ink Sketches.

For my textures, I used a cuttlebug dry embossing folder on one of the layers, net fibers, embroidery thread, and heat embossing on the image...

Now it's your turn! Let's see you Magical creations.

This card is also for the following challenges:

The Crafty Pad: Lots of texture

Pile it on: Favorite Technique (sewing)

A Spoon Full of Sugar: Sewing

High Hopes Challenge: 3-D

Hello stamping friends!

Did you see my post yesterday with the early sneak peek of the new Wags 'n Whiskers Princess digi release? What do you think? The release will be on Friday along with a Blog Hop with prizes.

Today I have a new High Hopes Challenge to share. 

The new challenge hosted by Debby is to:

Create or alter something 3-D (box, decorate a bag, alter something, etc).

For my project, I created a box for my little friend Luke. He has come home from the in-patient rehab for the first time since New Year's Eve!! I am scheduled to make his family dinner on Friday so I wanted to make a little gift for them. 

I thought, since they have received so many handmade cards, maybe they would need a box to hold them! Or they can use it for anything they want!

I used the adorable Super Dragon.

My box measures 6 1/4" square and 2 1/2" tall. I used my tutorial here, but added an inch so that that the overall size is 6 1/4". 

 

Speaking of cards for Luke, I received a new card for him... 

This adorable spinner card using one of the Pray for Luke Fundraiser Digital stamps illustrated by Dustin Pike.

I also realized that I never posted this card either. It arrived at our new house before we did!  

Isn't it so cute!!

You can see the fundraiser stamps here.

Now it's your turn! Let's see your High Hopes 3-D project!!

Thanks for stopping by! Happy Stamping!

Wags 'n Whiskers Challenge: Circles

Hello stamping friends!!

As you probably already know, blogger is down. Therefore the challenge post and most of the DT have been unable to finish their posts. Hopefully it will be back up soon! Please check back later to see the rest of the team's cards and to participate in this week's challenge.

TGIF!!! Actually, this is going to be a fun but crazy weekend. It's my husband's turn to host his "guys weekend" with 3 of his former college buddies. A few years ago, they all met together at a friend's funeral (died from a military accident in San Diego) and they decided that each year they were going to get together to hang out and catch up with each other. Each year they rotate who hosts the weekend. That means every 4 years, Scott has to host. 

The last time he hosted, my kids were only 2 and 4 so I just went away for the weekend to visit my father. This year, however, the kids are in school so I can't just leave and get out of the way. Ryan has a school field trip tomorrow along with a TBall game on Saturday so we have to stick around. 

But it will be a fun weekend for me and the kids. As long as I don't loose my mind, we will have friends come over tomorrow night (the guys will be out most of the day driving down to Daytona and St. Augustine). On Saturday, we are going to a carnival, Ryan's TBall game at 5pm, then off to a "kids only" party in the neighborhood (which means, I get to hang out with some of the ladies while the kids are at the party). 

On sunday, we'll do our regular routine of bible study and church (at least the kids and I will). 

So pray that I have enough energy to keep up with the kids this weekend and that we don't have a repeat visit to the Emergency Room like the last time Scott hosted the guys weekend. You can read about it a little here.

Ok, now it's time for the new Wags 'n Whiskers Challenge hosted by Darlene: Circles

You can make a circle card, add a bunch or a little circles to your card, use patterned paper with circles, etc.. A little or a lot is fine as long as there are at least a few circles on your card somewhere.

If you missed it yesterday, we are having a new digital stamp release next week. See the details here.

Now here's my card for the Circles Challenge...

I used Toby's Gift. He makes the cutest birthday cards!! 

I used some new Beach Bum Paper by Fancy Pants ( I LOVE the colors in this set), black brads, spacers (on sale this week), twill ribbon & Bow Easy, Basic Grey Button, and Whimsy Sentiment.

The sketch is from Tuesday Morning Sketches.

This is also for:

Crafty Creations Challenge: Anything Goes

Digi Stamps 4 Joy: It's a Celebration

Divas by Designs: First Challenge Anything Goes

Cute Card Thursday: Distressing

Now it's your turn!! Let's see some circles on your card! Remember, if you use a WnW stamp on your card, you will be entered into a 2nd drawing for a free WnW digital stamp.

I will be back on Monday with an early sneak peek at one of the new digis being released next week.

Thanks for stopping by! Happy stamping!

Stamp and Create, Magical Monday & High Hopes Challenges

I have lots of challenges and pictures to share today. Half of this post is late and should have posted yesterday.

It was a very busy weekend for my family and I didn't get the chance to finish my Magical Monday/Stamp and Create card or put the Stamp and Create Product Spotlight images on sale over the weekend. Then on Sunday, Ryan fell off a rope swing at a friend's house and went flying into a fence. By the evening his arm was swollen and black and blue under his elbow. We put ice on it and kept an eye on it, but Monday morning it was still swollen so we took him to the doctor. Luckily it is only a bad bruise - no fractures. 

Then after bringing Ryan to school after his doctor's appointment yesterday, my husband came home feverish and achy. He locked himself in our guest room and slept most of the day. This morning he went to the doctor and he has a bad case of Strep Throat!! I REALLY hope that doesn't go around the house!!

Anyway, between all of that, I got a bit behind. 

So today I have 2 cards to share for a few challenges. 

First up is the Magical Monday Challenge - a sketch by Heidi

We are being sponsored this week by All That Scraps with a $15 Gift Certificate.

Remember you MUST use a "Magical Character" on your card to be entered into the drawing for the prize. 

My card is also for the Stamp and Create Challenge and Product Spotlight.

The Product Spotlight is:

Fairy Tales (Princesses/Knights/Story book Characters)

All images in the Fairy Tales Category is on sale 25% off through Sunday.

The new Stamp and Create Monthly Challenge is:

Charms or Crowns

Here is my card for these challenges...

I used the very Royal Sitting Princess by High Hopes and the Very Magical Unicorn also by High Hopes.

I used one of the new  Her Majesty Resin Embellishments by Melissa Francis, Lilac Avenue DP by Kaisercraft, Prima Lilyput Roses, Mini Roses (Light Green), CC Cutters Banner Die (also available at All That Scraps), Once Upon a Time Sentiment (High Hopes), and pearls.

My next card is for the High Hopes Challenge: Anything High Hopes Goes!

You can use any High Hopes image for this challenge.

Ryan had a "Camp-Out" themed sleep-over birthday party on Saturday night so I created this card for the birthday boy... 

This is Smore Dragon by High Hopes along with Blazin' Birthday sentiment.

The papers are Campfire by October Afternoon (perfect for this image) and the sketch is from Sketch Saturday.

Now since it was a "boys only" party, Ansley was feeling left out. So we decided to create our own little "tent" over the game room TV and have a little Camp-out movie night!! So here are some pictures of our little "girls only" campout (Which is also a little peek at our upstairs game room/loft)... 

My husband taped a sheet from the top of the old entertainment center to the backs of some high-back chairs. Please excuse the surrounding mess - this is one of those rooms that hasn't been organized after the move. The door that's closed in the back left is my stamping room. The open door is Ansley's Bathroom. I'm standing in front of Ansley's Bedroom door and the hallway to Ryan's and my room. 

And here is Ansley under the "tent" with Princess and a spot just for Mommy... 

 
We ate popcorn, left over Easter chocolate, and watched "The Sword in the Stone" Disney movie. It was a fun night!

Make sure to check out the rest of the Magical Monday, Stamp and Create, and High Hopes DT cards!!

Wags 'n Whiskers Challenge: use a punch or a die

Hello stamping friends!!

So who watched the Royal Wedding on TV? Anyone actually go there in person?

It's a busy day for me. I'm planning on waking up early to watch the wedding, get the kids to the bus stop, watch more of the wedding (hehe), then I am meeting up with Ansley's class at the movies for a fiend trip - they're going to see Disney's African Cats.

Ok, now it's time for another Wags 'n Whiskers Challenge...

This week we are hosted by Tracy who's challenge is: Use a punch or die cut.

Here's my card... 

I used the fun stamp Shoot the Puck.

High Hopes Challenge: For the Boys - Sneak Peek Day 1

Hello stamping friends!!

Are you excited?!

Today is the first day of the High Hopes Release Sneak Peeks!! 

Now, I am still buried under paper work and "stuff", but I'm so happy to be able to focus back on normal releases!! Eventually my life in our new home with reach "normal" (*sigh*).

Ok...so today is a new Challenge Day at High Hopes so the Divas have all used one of the new images on our projects today. 

The challenge theme is: For the Boys

Let's see your cards for boys or a masculine design. Just remember you must use a High Hopes image to be entered into the drawing for the 3 free High Hopes stamps. 

For my project today, I used a few of the new Robots illustrated by Laurie Furnell...

Don't these robots make the best party set?! I created an invitation, candy wrapper cover, and Goodie-Bag.

Here's the invitation... 

The image is called "Robot with Balloon". I also used the "Gears Border" to create a custom patterned paper. The sentiment is also being released as well.

On the inside, I used a few more of the new stamps...

"Gears Border", "Gears Corner", "Party Time Robot", "Initiating Party Sequence Sentiment" and "Buddy's Party Info" (Buddy is a cute bear who is being release this month as well).

Here's a closer view of the Party Favor bag...

I've created these little bags a couple times before, but this time I took pictures of the steps and will share a tutorial soon.

And here is the Candy Bar Wrapper...

The image I used is called "Programmed To Party Candy Wrapper". The image can also be used as a bookmark or used on a tall card as well. It measures roughly about 2" wide and 5 1/4" tall.This fits a standard Hershey's Candy bar.

I will share a tutorial on the Candy Wrapper soon as well. 

Now go check out the rest of the Diva projects...then come join in our challenge this week!!

Don't forget about our "Spread the Word" Candy that is still open through Saturday.

Wags 'n Whiskers Challenge: More than 1 fold

Hello stamping friends!

Boy did I have a rough day yesterday!! It didn't start that way, but once the kids came home from school, the chaos began! Ever have one of those days where you swear the kids ganged up on you?! Well, that was my afternoon! I'm really hoping today will be much better.

Just a quick note regarding my upcoming move...

I will be out of town this weekend so I can see Luke before they leave for Minnesota on Sunday so I can give them the remaining cards/gifts I have for Luke along with the first check from the fundraiser!! I haven't added in the orders from last night, but so far we have over $300 we have raised through the sale of the digital stamps!! Thank you all so much for the support!!

Also, Monday is the walk-through of our new house!! It's a new construction home so we have to walk through with the builder to make sure that everything is acceptable (no scratches on the wall, all of the doors and cabinets are fine, no marks on the rug, etc...). We will be home Monday night. 

I will be taking the weekend orders to the post office on Tuesday instead of Monday. I will do one more run on Wednesday night. But on Thursday, the movers come to start packing things up. 

Therefore, all orders at www.stampandcreate.com received through 12:00noon EST on Wednesday WILL ship out before my move. Anything received after that will not ship out until March 20th. I will be without internet for about a week.

I will try to schedule some posts while I am gone and will try to post some pictures of the house as well.

In the mean time, it's time for the Wags 'n Whiskers Challenge!

This week Debbie is hosting and is challenging us to: Use more than 1 Fold

I decided to create a "Gate-Fold Card"...

This adorable cutie is Go for Goal. I created this card to give to Ryan's assistant Soccer Coach and gave it to her at the end-of-season party.

The papers are from Basic Grey Wander. 

The "Goal" and soccer ball are from the Popcorn Bear set called Football Crazy.

Now it's your turn!! Let's see you get creative with your folds!! Don't forget to stop by the DT blogs to show them some love!! :-)

This card is also for the Colour Create Challenge: Fruit (photo inspiration)-Red, Green, and yellow were used.

Thanks for stopping by! Happy stamping!

Toby - Wags 'n Whiskers Challenge: Punches

Hello stamping friends. 

If you missed my email about the Ebay Auction for Luke, check it out here.

I'm back with a new Wags 'n Whiskers Challenge. 

This week is being hosted by our guest Darlene and her challenge is: Punches!!

Easy peasy!!

For my card I used one of the adorable Toby Tigers...

This is Toby's Tasty Treat. Cute, huh?! I don't pull him out often enough. 

I figured I am usually in need of last minute boy birthday cards so I thought I should bump up my stash. And considering most of Ryan's friends will be turning 7, I added another punched element with the "7" tag. 

The papers are Basic Grey Max and Whiskers. And the sketch is from Critter Sketch Challenge - unfortunately I forgot about the "pink" part so I can't enter it into the challenge. I was going to this sketch for a different card and changed my mind at the last minute forgetting about the "pink" portion!! Oh well!! It's still a great sketch.

Now it's your turn!! The challenge is open for 2 weeks now.

I have to run, my Stampavie CHA order arrived so I have to get all of the preorders out in the mail and Monday is a postal holiday so they have to go out today.

Thanks for stopping by! Happy stamping!

Ryan's Valentine for his teacher - WnW Sketch

Hello stamping friends. I hope you are having a lovely weekend so far. 

Well, it is 4 weeks and counting until our move back to Orange Park, FL (just outside Jacksonville). We had the inspection on our South Florida home yesterday and I got to meet the buyers. They sound like a great family so I hope I am leaving my friends with a wonderful new neighbor.

Over the next 4 weekends, we have some travel and some "fun" planned (in between 3 more soccer weekends). I have started packing my store stamps into small boxes. Since we live in Florida, it's hot...too hot to allow rubber stamps to sit on a moving truck for a few days. Therefore, when I move, I will be taking my store (and personal) stamp supplies with me. I will pack up my stamps and the kids and head out on the first day. Scott will stay behind with the movers to make sure everything is packed up. Then he will follow them up to the new house. Therefore, I have started putting my store stamps into small boxes so I can still access them until the move, but when the time comes, I close up the boxes and pack them in my van. The boxes will be small enough that I can unload the van myself. 

So it's starting to get exciting that we are moving "home"!!

But before we go, we still have lots to do and the kids still have school. Since Monday is Valentine's Day, I needed to make a Valentine's Day for Ryan's teacher.

I decided to use Wags 'n Whiskers Just for You (designed after Ryan) and use the sketch for the current Wags 'n Whiskers Challenge... 

 

I pulled out some retired October Afternoon DP and the Ruler stamp from a SU "Elementary Essentials" that I've had for years. I thought they made the perfect card for a teacher. And since it's from a boy, it's not too "love" looking!!

Well, I have to run. Time to head to the soccer field for Ansley's soccer game. It's wet and chilly today so hopefully it's not too miserable at the soccer field.

Thanks for stopping by! Happy stamping!

Super Luke!! Wags 'n Whiskers Challenge: a sketch by me

I forgot to finish this post last night, so it's late going up. 

First off, we bought a house in Jacksonville (actually it's Orange Park, but most people know where jacksonville is and we just South/West of the Jacksonville line. We're very excited. We will be moving during our Spring Break (March 13th). I'm looking forward to a new chapter in our Story of Life and can't wait to see what God has in store for us in our new neighborhood. 

We tried to move back to our old neighborhood, but nothing worked out. So we are down the street in a different community. For whatever reason, we were not meant to move back to our old community, so I guess God has a plan for us across the street!!

I am so much more relived at knowing where we will be living. However, I still need to decide which school we will be attending. 

Ok...

Now it's time for a new Wags 'n Whiskers Challenge. 

This week's challenge is a sketch by me!!

As of this challenge, we have changed the challenges to every-other-week so you will have 2 weeks to enter this challenge. 

Make sure to check out the challenge post to see the other DT samples and learn about the prize information. 

Here is the sketch...

I decided to make a card for Luke's birthday...

All of his friends and doctors are calling him their "Superman", so I thought Super Ryan would be appropriate. This stamp was designed after my son Ryan and Ryan and Luke best friends when we lived there, so I hope this brings him a huge smile!

I used some Basic Grey Oliver DP (probably my favorite paper), and used some of the stickers that are included in the 12x12 pack.

I have to run now. We have a double birthday party this afternoon so I still need to make one card and purchase their presents all in the next 2 hours!! It's been a rough week - I'm so behind :-(

Thanks for stopping by! Happy stamping!

Wags 'n Whiskers Challenge and Sneak Peek

Just a quick post because I am totally exhausted and sick as can be!! I have a nasty head and chest cold that came on quickly and knocked me on my feet. I can usually handle a cold pretty well - Mom's don't get 'sick days'. But when it affects my asthma, that's another story. I can barely breath! And every time I cough, my head feels like it's going to explode AND my lower stomach hurts (not good for 9 weeks after a hysterectomy)!! I will be going to the doctor today - just not sure if I should go to my primary care doctor for the cold or to my allergist for my asthma. 

Before I get today's challenge, please continue to pay for Luke (see original post here). Here's what his mom said on Facebook late last night:

"God is ever present and we give Him complete glory! Luke had a rough day with set backs that puts us back to day 1; more tests planned - EKG tonight, MRI and EEG tomorrow...prayers going up and blessings coming down...."

Anyway, I am here today with a new Wags 'n Whiskers Challenge and since we have a new release on Monday, today we are peeking some of the images.

And they are HOT!! Pin ups!! 

So to welcome our sexy girls, this week's challenge is: Valentines

Isn't she hot?!! This is Sophia and she will be available as a rubber stamp on Monday. I am so excited that our artist Cris de Lara created such classic style pin-ups!! For those of you who like "vintage" cards, these would be perfect for that style. 

Now, I made this card for my hubby for Valentine's Day. I think I'm going to put a sentiment on the inside that reads "stop dreaming...now take the garbage out"!! LOL He's got a good sense of humor!

I'm entering this in the Paper Sundaes Challenge: something new (new release stamp) and ironically I'm also entering this into the Cute Card Thursday: Out with the Old (Basic Grey Bittersweet DP and chipboard heart that I've had for over a year).

The chipboard heart has a few layers (couldn't get the color I wanted). It has some Aged Mahogany crackle paint, real red ink sponged, then crystal effects.

Make sure to check out the rest of the DT samples as well.  There will be more samples linked on the challenge blog tomorrow and Sunday, with a Blog Hop on 12:01am EST Monday and release at 7:00am EST.

Thanks for stopping by! Happy Stamping!

High Hopes Challenge 97 - A card for a Man

Hello stamping friends!!

Today is my follow up appointment from surgery. Hopefully everything came back totally clear and hopefully everything is healing well. I hate to say that I am still dealing with nausea issues!! It's been a whole week now...enough already!  Anyway, hopefully I will be cleared for driving! I have to have my friend drive me to my appointment today! But the good news is that I get to tag along with her and go out to lunch afterward! It will be nice to get out of the house!! Man am I getting cabin-fever!!

At least I've gotten a lot of coloring done in the past day! Yesterday I colored 4 images (3 for the upcoming High Hopes release!!).

Speaking of High Hopes...

It's time for a new High Hopes Challenge!

This week's challenge is hosted by Sirpa who is asking us to make "one for the guys"!!

Let's see some masculine cards!

Just remember, you must use a High Hopes image in order to be entered into the drawing for 3 free High Hopes stamps. If you are in need of some HH stamps, make sure to check out my store!

Here is my card... 

This guy makes me smile! This is Snowman's Cup of Love and it's my 2nd time using him; I first used him here.

I used some Basic Grey Jovial DP and button.

The sketch is from Splitcoast Stampers SC306.

I popped up the "flag" sentiment... 

The image was embossed in black and watercolored with Twinkling H2Os... 

Now it's your turn!! Let's see your card for the guys!!

I'll be back tomorrow with the new ABC Christmas Challenge!
Thanks for stopping by! Happing Stamping!

Stamp and Create Product Spotlight & High Hopes Challenge

Hello stamping friends! I hope you had a lovely weekend! Ours was crazy.

My hubby is still sick so I've have double-time mommy duty! He's feeling better, but since he thinks he has strep throat, I really don't want him helping with the kids too much...we don't need to get sick the week before school starts!! 

This morning I took the kids to church then took Ansley to Walmart, Target, and the Mall trying to finish looking for school supplies (mainly a backpack, shoes, and a uniform sweater). They have every size available...except hers!! It was 'Tax-free" weekend here in Florida which meant that all school supplies and clothes were not charged sales tax. In South Florida, that meant an additional savings of 6% on top of the back to school sales. But that also meant that the stores were PACKED!! Needless to say, I am pooped!! And I have vowed to never go out again on tax-free weekend!! LOL

Anyway, sorry this post is late. I actually waited a little to post it so I can combine it with something else!!

Today is the new High Hopes Challenge with the theme: Water! That can be ANY type of water or water animals (think ocean, beach, rain, bubbles, etc...).

I also have a preview of the new Stamp and Create Product Spotlight. Beginning now, all High Hopes Stamps designed by Dustin Pike will be on sale this week 25% off! Actually, this will run for 2 weeks.

So to cover both the product spotlight and the High Hopes water challenge, I used Wade on my card today...

This image just cracks me up! I love it!! It may be one of my favorites from this release.

I used some SU Kraft card base along with some older Cosmo Cricket DP. Then I added some Basic Grey buttons, Prima Fairytale and Mini roses, and the sentiment from Ticketed by Stampology.

The sketch is from Sketch Saturday this week.

I embossed the image in black onto watercolor paper and watercolored with Twinkling H2Os...

I'm also entering this into the ABC Challenge: A is for August 

and this also qualifies for the Stamp and Create Challenge: Flowers!

Now it's your turn! Let's pull out any water themed High Hopes image and get stamping!! Make sure to load it to thechallenge post in order to be entered into the drawing for the free High Hopes stamp.

And don't forget to check out the rest of the awesome DT samples, too!!

I have a busy week this week with the upcoming Wags 'n Whiskers release on friday - with sneak peeks starting on Wednesday. And speaking of releases, there will be a new High Hopes release on September 1st. I have received my DT stamp and my store stamps are being pressed right now! I can't wait to get started on the new samples!! 

But this is also the kids last week of Summer Break. So in between school orientation and trips to the post office with the store orders, we will try to take advantage of the last few days together and head to the beach and other fun summer activities!! I promise that I will be pooped by the end of the week!! 

Thanks for stopping by today! Happy stamping!

Wags 'n Whiskers "Let's Party" Sneak Peek - Day 2

I'm back today with another Wags 'n Whiskers Let's Party sneak peek!! 

I am having so much fun with this release!! I love these images and they are so much fun to color. But I also love that they are simple enough to make A2 cards with. 

I don't make many A2 cards, but both my card yesterday and today are A2 cards. Just in case you are wondering what an "A2" card is... that is a normal 5 1/2" x 4 1/4" card. They use the "invitation" envelopes that you can purchase at office supply stores (or Walmart). They are very popular with card makers because you can get 2 card bases from a standard 8 1/2" x 11" piece of cardstock. However, I typically prefer to make 5 1/4" square cards so that I have more room for embellishments!! Gotta have my bling!! And since I have just as much 12"x12" cardstock for scrapbooking, I still get 2 cards per sheet of 12"x12".

This card is different for me in another way, too! I tried to keep is CAS (clean and simple). Little embellishments...this card would only take 1 stamp to mail where any cards with bumps, larger, or more weight would require additional postage. 

So, enough of that...on to my card...

This handsome fellow is "Toby". We have a few images with Toby with this release. This one is called "Toby's Tasty Treat". And he's perfect for a birthday card!

I used some Cosmo Cricket DP, Red Satin Ribbon, and SU border punch...that's it!! Simple and sweet! And fairly easy to mass produce for birthday party invitations.

The image is another digi (not altered so he's normal stamp size) printed on watercolor paper and watercolored with Twinkling H2Os...

Make sure to check out the rest of the Divas with samples to share today! 

Then come back at 12:01am EST to join in on the blog hop. The release will take place at 7:01am EST tomorrow morning. 

One more thing...I am approaching 200,000 hits on my blog!! Wow!! I will be having a huge blog candy to share soon!! Make sure to stick around...and come back often so that hits start coming faster!! LOL

Thanks for stopping by! Happy stamping!

Wags 'n Whiskers "Let's Party" Sneak Peek - Day 1

 
Are you ready for a new Wags 'n Whiskers release?!!

We are so happy to bring you our newest artist!! Her name is Emma Metcalf and we have named her line of stamps "Millie and Friends"!! 

We just love her style so much! Now..."Let's Party"!! 

This release is full of fun Birthday images and even one of the sets comes with sentiments as well!!

For my first peek, I decided to use the sketch at Critter Sketch Challenge...

 
I haven't made one of these cards in ages!! I used SU Real Red CS for the card base along with some of the Kaiser Craft Christmas Carnival DP  I love that this paper can be used year round. There are so many "non-Christmas specific" designs in this pack.

When you pull out the card...

 
How fun is that?! This is Sammie's Surprise!! He's perfect for birthday cards!

 
This release is going to be combined with both Digis AND rubber stamps!! However, we only have a limited supply of rubber stamps for the time being...so make sure to grab them while you can!!

For this card, I used a digi. However, didn't alter the image so this is the same as the rubber stamp image. 

I printed it on the computer onto watercolor paper, then watercolored it with twinkling H2Os...

 
The rest of the DT also have some fantastic samples to share today! Make sure to check them out! 

If you haven't already grabbed the blog hop banner, you still have time to be entered into the drawing for the whole digi release.

We will have more peeks to share tomorrow, then at 12:01 EST on early friday morning, the blog hop will begin followed by the release at 7:00am EST on friday morning.

Thanks for stopping by! Happy Stamping!

High Hopes Challenge - Anything Goes!!

Hello again, stamping friends!! We had a crazy storm last night!! LOTS of lightning and thunder!! It woke Ryan up, who ended up climbing into bed with us, who ended up keeping us up for at least 3 hours!! When the thunder finally stopped, it took us awhile to get him back into his bed and asleep again! Needless to say, we didn't get much sleep last night. Therefore...I am REALLY late with posting this.

It's time for another High Hopes Challenge!! Since we had a VERY busy High Hopes week last week with 2 releases, we decided to make this challenge an easy one...

So, Anything Goes!! Yep, that means you can join in the challenge with ANY card using a High Hopes image!!

Remember, you must use a High Hopes image on your card to be entered into the drawing for the free stamp.

Here is my card...
This guy is "Wade". I thought he would make a great Father's Day card!! My husband already saw the projects and cards I made already, so I had to come up with a new one for him for father's day. And I think this is appropriate since the kids are always wanting him to come join them in the pool!

I used a mixture of MME and October Afternoon DP and some PTI buttons. The sentiment was printed on the computer.

I embossed Wade in black onto watercolor paper and watercolored with Twinkling H2Os...

Now it's your turn!! Let's see your High Hopes card!! Make sure to post it on the challenge blog and make sure to check out the awesome DT cards!!

Thanks for stopping by! Happy Stamping!

High Hopes Release and Blog Hop!!

Hello Stamping Friends!! Today is the long awaited High Hopes Blog Hop and Release!!

You should have arrived from Karen. If not, then you may want to head on over to the top of the Hop at the High Hopes Blog. Why? Because along the hop there are 4 blogs that have been chosen to give away 2 free new release stamps!! You won't know which blogs they are, so you should leave a comment on each one just in case!

So...today is the release day for the latest High Hopes stamps illustrated by the awesome Sir Dustin aka Dustin Pike! I think there are 33 images and 5 sentiments that are being released today!!

And guess what?...they are already up on my store :-) Tina...the fabulous owner of High Hopes Rubber Stamps allowed us to upload the stamps a little early!!

Today I have a fun Father's Day project to share using the super cute Handy Dragon and Four Tool Set...

I just LOVE Dustin's dragons!! And this one is no exception. When I first saw this image, I knew I wanted to make this little tool caddy (template from My Time Made Easy). I plan to add some of my hubby's favorite things...like a gift certificate to block buster, and his favorite restaurant, some chocolates, and a note from the kids.

The image and tools were embossed in black and watercolored with Twinkling H2Os...

I'm going to have to grab this back from Ryan, though!! He saw it and decided it was a good place to put his "silly-bands" (do your kids have those?).

The blog hop will remain open until Wednesday 12pm GMT/7am EST. 

Your next stop is the fabulous Sarah!

Don't forget about the Stamp and Create Challenge this month...charms!!

Thanks for stopping by! Happy Stamping!

High Hopes Challenge DT - Father's Day Card

Happy Sunday stamping friends!! How is your weekend so far?

It's time for another High Hopes challenge!! This week's challenge is hosted by Danielle and her challenge is: A Father's Day card!!

With Father's Day just around the corner (June 20th in the US), it's a good time to pull out some High Hopes stamps and get stamping!! High Hopes has a ton of images that will work for a great Father's Day card and I have quite a few in stock.

But I'm going to let you in on a secret...make sure to keep an eye out on the High Hopes blog and Diva blogs before the next challenge!! You may just start to see some sneak peeks of the upcoming releases!!

Now on to my card...

I can't believe this this the first time I inked up Sir Dustin from the last release!! This is one of my favorites so I don't know why I didn't ink him up earlier. If you didn't figure it out already, this was named after High Hopes' artist Dustin Pike! The High Hopes Designers are called "Divas". Now that we have a male artist, we can't call him a Diva, so we came up with the name "Sir Dustin"...of course that was transferred to this awesome stamp!!

Ok...back to the card...The DP is Pack your Bags from Kaiser Craft the polka dot layer is flocked (nice and fuzzy). I created the sentiment on the computer and printed it onto a MM ticket. I finished it off with some screw brads that I found at Michaels (I may have to find them from my supplier and add them to the store)!

The sketch is from Sketch Saturday this week.

The image was embossed in black and watercolored with Twinkling H2Os...

Such a brave dragon!!

Now it's your turn!! Let's see your Father's Day cards!!

Make sure to link you card to the challenge post for a chance to win the free prize this week. And make sure to check out the rest of the Diva cards as well!!

Don't forget to check back later in the week for a little peeky at something new!! :-))))))

Happy Stamping!

Wags 'n Whiskers "Fun in the Sun" Sneak Peek - Day 2

Welcome back to another day of Wags 'n Whiskers Fun in the Sun sneak peeks. Today I have the joy of sharing Speed Racer which will be available on friday.

This image was designed after my 5 year old son Ryan. Now a little history...he has always loved the movie Cars and Lightning McQueen since it first came out. He was just fascinated with the race scenes. He owned every Lightning McQueen toy they created! And if you asked him what he wanted to be when he grows up, he said a "race car driver"!! So when we first started Wags 'n Whiskers, I knew I wanted a race car stamp with Ryan. Of course, it had to go with the right theme of the release so we had to wait awhile. Well, the time finally came for Ryan's race car stamp! Of course, about a month ago Ryan tells me that he doesn't like Lightning McQueen anymore so he doesn't want to be a race car driver!!  But he is now totally fascinated with Super Mario and Mario Kart for the wii and DSi and everything related to Mario! He plays "Mario" with his friends and constantly talks about "Bowser Jr., Yoshi, and King Boo" (all characters from the games). Therefore, I have told him that this image is based on Mario Kart, not Lightning McQueen!! LOL

So here is my Speed Racer (aka Ryan hyped up on Sugar LOL)...

I used some Cosmo Cricket DP (Boyfriend - Red paper, and Garden Variety - Green paper) with a simple layout. I love that boy's cards can be kept simple.

I think this image would make great birthday party invitations for a little boy!! And it would also be a great Father's Day card, too!
 
I wanted to create a scrapbook layout of one of our trips to Daytona Beach for the Daytona races, but I ran out of time. I will get it done in the next week or so.

I'm entering this into thePaper Sundaes challenge: Red, Yellow and Green color challenge.

Now, it's time to check out the rest of the awesome DT samples!!

Debbie, Christa, Jacqui, Melanie, Renata, Jeanette, Chris, Michele, Karen, Sharon, Tina 

Make sure to check back tonight at 12:01am EST when the Blog Hop begins!! Then at 7:00am EST, the stamps will be available for purchase!!

Here are a few pictures of Ryan...

At Disney's Hollywood Studios October 2008

At the Daytona Speedway 4th of July weekend last year.

High Hopes Challenge - A Bookmark

It's Sunday...so that means that it's time for another High Hopes Challenge!

Our hostess this week is the awesome Alex! Her challenge...to create a bookmark.

Next week, my son's pre-school is celebrating "Teacher Appreciation Week" so we were asked to bring in a card one day and a "keepsake" another day (along with a brunch item one day, flowers another day, and candy the last day). So, I thought I would turn my "bookmark" into a card. But I haven't decided if this is going to be the "card" gift or the "keepsake" gift.

Here is my bookmark...

I created a tag/bookmark using Sunday's Best. I've had this guy in the store for awhile now, but just realized that I hadn't inked him up myself!!

The sketch is from Friday Sketchers this week.

The image was embossed in black and watercolored with Twinkling H2Os...

 
I used some Cosmo Cricket Boyfriend and October Afternoon Report Card DP. The image is lined with Kraft CS on the back to make it stronger. I used some Black Brads in the corners along with some Black ruffle ribbon, and Tim Holtz tag.

I used the tag, the corner punch, and the photo tag to hold the bookmark onto the front of the card.

Now it's your turn! We would love to see your bookmark! Just remember that you must use a High Hopes image to be entered into the drawing for the free stamp.

I have some new stamps on their way along with restocks of the rest of the designs. I have added them to the store, but marked them as sold out. But you can see what is on the way...just look for the stamps marked  **New**. As soon as they arrive (which should be this week), I will send out a newsletter.

Today is the last day for the CC Designs sale, so grab them now at the awesome discount of 25% off! And don't forget about the Weekly Wednesday Candy here.

Thanks for stopping by! Happy Stamping!

High Hopes Challenge - Use Two Stamps

I need to make this quick. I am tired and still not feeling fantastic. Had an interesting "girls day out" with Ansley which ended up at the movies to see the new Milie Cyrus movie (which is a little heavy and not really a 7 year old girl movie - without giving the plot away for those who may want to see it...it's a drama, not a comedy, and I cried the whole 2nd half of the movie)!!

Anyway, it's time for another High Hopes challenge! Our guest Debby has given us a great challenge...Use two High Hopes stamps on your card, but sentiments don't count!!

One participant will win a free stamp!! Check out the blog for more information and to see the rest of the awesome Diva creation!!

Here's my card...

I haven't had the chance to ink these two "cuties" up yet! I think they go nicely together. The little one is Chuck and the tall one is Quentin. These are from their last release illustrated by Dustin Pike. I also added Space like Home sentiment.

The sketch is from Sketch Saturday this week.

The paper is Basic Grey Lime Rickey DP and I added some punched some stars and added some Basic Grey buttons.

The stamps were embossed in black and watercolored with Twinkling H2Os...

We would love to have to play along!

Thanks for stopping by! Happy Stamping!

ABC Christmas Challenge DT - H for Holly

 It's time for another ABC Christmas Challenge. I will come back in the morning and edit this post with the details because I am just too tired to stay up any longer tonight.

This week's challenge is: H is for Holly with a bonus sketch

There is a wonderful prize again this week! But remember, it must be a Christmas card and it must have at least the letter challenge to be entered into the drawing for the prize.

Here is my card...

This is Ride 'em Ryan by Wags 'n Whiskers Rubber Stamps. I love that this stamp is versatile to use as a Christmas stamp, or a birthday stamp...how about a new baby boy stamp?!

This stamp was illustrated by Crissy Armstrong, and designed after my son Ryan with his trusty blanket "Bo Bo". In fact he got sick last night and both bobo's (yes we have two) had to "take a bath" in the washing machine. He was upset that they were still wet at bedtime! But Bobo is now dry and in his sleeping arms.

Here's a closer view of the image. It is embossed in black and watercolored with Twinking H2Os...

Come play along with the challenge!! We have a new one every 2 weeks so you have plenty of time to play along!

I am entering this into:

Bah Humbug: Embossing

Spoon Full of Sugar Challenge: One for the Boys

ABC Challenge: R is for Red

I have an Easter sale going on at Stamp and Create for the next two week (or until supplies run out).

Plus today is a release of CC Designs stamps. I have just added them to the store and I have a few of the new release stamps as well!!

Papers: SU Ridinghood Red CS, Basic Grey Wassil DP

Stamps: Wags 'n Whiskers Ride 'em Ryan, PTI Signature Christmas

Other: Black Ric Rack Ribbon, SU oval and Scalloped Oval punches, American Crafts Black mini Brads.

The Greeting Farm Spotlight Day 2

I made this card a few weeks ago for the Greeting Farm release of this adorable set called Happy Day. I didn't have the time to post it earlier, so I decided to save it for this week knowing that the Product Spotlight of the week for Stamp and Create would be The Greeting Farm Stamps. All Greeting Farm Stamps in stock are on sale 25% off until Monday morning.

Here is my card...

Isn't he such a cute little boy?! I love his dinosaurs! I paired him up with some Cosmo Cricket Earth Love papers, Natural Twill Ribbon, and Basic Grey button.

This was a very simple card t make. Here's a close up of the image...

I'm entering this card in the Stamp Something Challenge: Green and Cream.

Make sure to check back tomorrow for my Wags 'n Whiskers Challenge card! Did you know you can have the chance to be a guest for one of our challenges? Check out the blog for more information.

I love You - a few challenges

So, the other day I mentioned how many Valentine's Day cards I needed. I mentioned my husband, my kids, the kids teachers, etc... Well, guess what?! Ryan's teacher sends home a note saying that the theme for February for his Pre-K class is "Love" and to bring in a card EACH WEEK for our child and they will read them on fridays. Now, this is not so bad if you are a "normal" person..."normal" people can just go buy 4 cards!! But for a handmade card maker, this means I have to hand make 4 cards for my son!! Because it would be a sin to actually buy him 4 cards!! LOL

Therefore, I am so glad that so many challenge blogs are having a "Love" theme this week!!

First challenge is actually being sponsored by my store: Delightful Sketches - Love

Penny Black challenge - Someone Special

Cute Card Thursday - Spots and Dots

And throw in a sketch challenge - this is SC266

So this is card #1 for my son...

This cute dog and bee are 2 separate stamps, but I thought they would look great together. They are from the Penny Black Every Which Way set. What a cute set for Valentine's Day...and it happens to be on sale right now!!

I used some Basic Grey Origins 12x12 paper (also on sale) and a Basic Grey button.

The image was embossed in black and watercolored with Twinkling H2Os...

The sentiment is also from the stamp set.

I carried the papers to the inside...

This inside sentiment is from the set as well.

I think Ryan will like this. The sketch was really great for the simple layout needed for a boy'ish card.

As I mentioned, my store Stamp and Create is sponsoring the Delightful Sketches challenge this week. If you would like the chance to win a $15 Gift Certificate to Stamp and Create, come play along!!

Make sure to come back tomorrow for the Scrap and Stamp Blog Hop and the Wags 'n Whiskers Challenge!

Thanks for stopping by! Happy Stamping!

High Hopes Welcomes Dustin Pike Blog Hop and Release!!

The day is finally here!! I have been waiting months for this release..seriously!!

Last summer when Crissy Armstrong announced that she was resigning from High Hopes, I thought I would cry!! But now about 6 months later...Crissy works for me and Nikki with our stamp line Wags 'n Whiskers, and High Hopes has Dustin!! Really, it's a win-win situation...at least for me!!

Anyway, if you came here from Amy W (which is a hard person to follow...love her coloring), then you are on the right track.

If you are coming straight to me, then hop on over to the High Hopes Challenge Blog to start our fun Blog Hop!!

Make sure you leave a comment on ALL stops!! Four Blogs will have candy...but you won't know which one it is!! So you better leave a comment just in case ;-)

Oh, the prize? 1 person will win THE WHOLE RELEASE!! And 3 other winners will receive a stamp package.

Ok...on to my card... 

This sweet image is called Dragon-Go-Round. I don't know what I like better...Sir Dustin's Aliens or his dragons? Well there's also his monkeys and bears...oh my!!

Anyway, this sketch is from Sketch Saturday.

The image is embossed in black and watercolored with Twinkling H2Os...

Hehe...that's a fun sight!!

One last photo...

 This was taken with the flash, so you can see the glitter on the patterned paper and the shimmer from the Twinkling H2Os. I've been considering carrying those in my store...hmm...what do you think?

Anyway, your next stop on the hop is Alex.

But before you go, remember that I have these stamps IN STOCK in my store Stamp and Create and ready to ship immediately!!

I also have my regular Weekly Wednesday Candy here.

High Hopes Sir Dustin Release Sneak Peek 2

As you may have seen from the Challenge yesterday, there are a ton of adorable stamps in this release. But true to Dustin Pike, there are some Dragons as well. I am so thrilled beause I am in love with his dragons!!

When I saw this image, I about died laughing! Funny thing is...this fits my son so well!!
 

Meet Troubled Travis! I think I love the sentiment just as much as I do the image!! It says "It seemed like a good idea at the time"!! ROFL Ryan actually had a shirt that had that same sentiment!

Srry about the picture. It was 10pm when I finished this card so the best I could do was scan it since the I couldn't get a good photo.

Anyway, this card is using the sketch over at the new Paper Sundaes Challenge Blog...I am sponsoring their VERY first Challenge!! So come play along with their awesome sketch!!

Here's a closer view of Travis...poor fella!!
