Take Note Candy

Good morning stampers. I am up early today so I thought I could post another quick card for you all!  This card is made with a whole bunch of goodies from the 5 & Dime collection from October Afternoon. I love sorting through all of the fun things in the 5 & Dime Miscellany package. I also used the Rub-ons from this set.  The best part is the crushed bottlecap on the card. You can crush them down with any machine. I use my old Sizzix machine just because it is a quick in and out.  I love the feeling of crunching them down.

I am also super excited because I see the new Sidewalks collection is up for sale at StarlitStudio.  OMG. . . I have been waiting for this!

Okay have a terrific Wednesday!

 

Sunny Days & Lemonade

Good morning! I am going to post a quick one up here for you. This is a card that I made to send to my daughter at college. The sunny days and lemonade seem to be coming to a quick end here in September!  I don't remember who the paper is by. I know I bought it at Archivers.  I loved the bright colors.  I made this background ahead of time and then when I bought this penguin guy from Birdie Brown, I knew he would be great on this card.  I colored him in to match, cut him out, and added him with foam tape.

Happy Tuesday!

Rainy Day Pup

Good morning! I have a quick Sunday post for you today. We have had a weekend filled with a lot of family fun.  My Brother-in-law came down for a visit and then my other Brother and Sister-in-law also drove over. Not to mention I picked up my youngest daughter from college so she could visit as well!  It has been a very nice weekend with family. Family is so important, and I must say after all three brothers had prostate cancer this last year, we are a much stronger and closer family than ever.   Keep your family close!

So onto my card.  This is a digital image from Birdie Brown. Is this puppy just not the cutest thing ever? I love him!  I paired him up with Jillibean Soup papers.  I love how all of there papers seem to coordinate together.  I like buying the 6 x 6 paper packs.

Okay that is about it!  Enjoy your day and keep a smile on your face!

 

 

Hi Koala

It is Sunday morning!  Gosh, I sure do love the weekends.  That is all there is to it!  I don't even have to be doing anything special. I just like to catch up on things around the house and spend time with my family. 

This is one of the cards that I made to send to my daughters once they were off at college.  The stamp is from Whipper Snapper Designs, and it is the perfect size in my opinion. Not to mention, it is cute as can be.  I paired it up with My Minds Eye paper. This is another background that I had stashed away. I always make a bunch of "Lana Cuts" backgrounds. Sometimes it is just so much fun to grab a background, plop an image on and call it good. Oh usually I will add some detaisl like the SRM stickers and of course a button or two!  I still love my buttons! 

I hope your weekend is going great for you! Enjoy! 

Get Candy Puddle Jumpers

Good Saturday morning to you all!  I was up super early this morning reflecting on this last week.  Not to mention, I was excited that my daughter came home from college for a visit. I am now having my coffee and contemplating how I can keep quiet until she wakes up. I can only think of ONE THING: stamping! 

Last weekend, I bought these digital stamp from Lori Designs. The puddle jumpers are so darn cute.  I have colored in a lot of them already and made various cards like this one.  I just pulled the backgrounds from my stash of "Lana Cuts". These cards are quick to make. I color my images and plop them on the card. For this one I added the Papertrey Ink Sending You die.  I embossed it through my Cuttlebug to add some texture to my card.  Lately I have been using the SRM Stickers for my choice of sentiments. They are easy to use and you don't smudge your saying when your card is almost done! The very last thing I added to was the bat brad by Doodlebug. I love that small detail!

Lenny goes back to school!

Good morning!  I am up early and I was just watching the sun  come up. I think it is going to be another wonderful day! I decided to post a card today that is appropriate for this time of the year. A back to school card!  I bought this digital image from Stamp Fairy. There are tons and tons of images on this website to chose from. I've really taken a liking to buying digital stamps.  You don't have to store them in your stamp room, and I like that you get them right away.  Most places get the images to you in a day at the most.  I had a great school week last week. Last week was only four days. This week we are going for a full week!  I think we can do it-he he!  It is really a lot of fun getting to know kids. I love the look on their face when you say their name. It's like they are thinking, "You know my name?"  

I guess I am babbling along!  Well that is good news for you because now I have room for two Lenny cards!  I love both of these. The paper (Imaginisce) I dug out from my stash.  I just love this paper. OMG. . . I just looked. This paper is from 2009. WOW! Time flies!  I am glad I still have some of this left because it is perfect for back to school time!

All right then! I am going to grab my first cup of coffee and enjoy the morning!  I hope you do as well!

Old Dictionary Pages

Good Sunday morning. I hope you are enjoying the long Labor Day weekend.  We have nothing planned for this weekend. I love those kinds of weekends!  School started last week so we have the first two days under our belts.  It is always crazy, but by the end of next week, I expect things to be running smoother.  It is also very quiet around this place now that both of my daughters are off  to college. I am glad school is keeping me busy so that I don't think too much about that!

Today I am going to share two cards with you seeing as I skipped out on you most of the week!  My friend issued some stamping challenges to me this weekend. They are based on cards that were posted on SplitCoastStampers.  I love that both of these cards use old dictionary pages. You can do so many things with them.  I like that a lot.  The first challenge was to stamp directly onto dictionary pages.  I recently purchased this Unity Bicycle Stamp and the My Minds Eye paper called Lost & Found 2 Breeze and I thought they would work perfectly for this challenge. Then when I finished the first card I noticed I had a lot of scrap pieces that would work perfectly for the second card!  I am heading back into my stamp to make some more versions of these challenges. They were really a lot of fun!  Enjoy your Sunday!
