Isn't that kitty hilarious??? I just love him/her! This set is called "<a href="http://yournextstamp.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=280&products_id=4838">Purrrfect Day Cat</a>" and is one of the newest sets from Franfou designs. When I saw him I knew immediately that it would be a favorite from my daughter. She loves her kitties and was instantly excited once she saw my card! :) <br />
<br />
I colored the kitty with my copic markers, trying to give him the feel that he was a hairy guy. I then cut him out and popped him up on dimensionals. The rest of the card is pretty straight forward! I used some fun paper from Echo Park called "This & That" and embellished with some "manly" twine. <br />

For my card I decided to pull out one of our new border sets. This is a really fun set and I couldn't wait to play with it. Aren't those flowers just so cute??? I stamped them on the card and colored them with my Copic markers. The sentiment is also a sneak peek from a different set that I'm not showing you yet! :)<br />

To accompany my card, I decided I wanted to make a bookmark so I stamped the flowers using the baby wipe tutorial and then the zig zag stripe on each side of it. I used the<a href="http://yournextstamp.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=274&products_id=4495"> Fishtail Banner die set</a> to cut out the bookmark and crocheted a sweet little flower to embellish the top! </div>

This month's <a href="http://yournextstamp.blogspot.com/">YNS Tasty Tuesday</a> is a yummy one! I love the design and the colors of those cookies! So cute! So for this card I decided I wanted to use the idea of the flowers and the color combination. I took the challenge quite literally I guess!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I used the <a href="http://yournextstamp.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=66_304&products_id=4488">Happy Home set</a> and embossed it with white embossing powder on some chocolate chip card stock. I then layered onto some baja breeze and white card stock as well. I added some old flowers that I've had in my stash for years and wrapped some fun twine around the card!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">

Good morning everyone! I hope you really enjoyed this week's <a href="http://yournextstamp.com/">Your Next Stamp</a> release and blog hop because you get to see more! :) Today the DT is celebrating by having an After the Release Day! How fun! And what better way to celebrate than by sharing with you a fun and Springy card? I told you I had Spring on the brain. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
For my card I used the new and adorable set called "<a href="http://yournextstamp.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=280&products_id=4709">Blossom</a>". Isn't she just so cute??? I love that she is jumping in the air with joy. Anyway, I colored her using my Copic markers and sponged the background using my inked background technique. To create the sentiment, I pulled out the awesome "<a href="http://yournextstamp.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=280&products_id=4719">Letter Board</a>" die again (I seriously can't get enough of it). I then applied the sentiments onto the banners that I cut with the "<a href="http://yournextstamp.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=274&products_id=4495">Fishtail/Banner</a>" die set. I embellished the card with some <a href="http://yournextstamp.com/index.php?main_page=index&cPath=254">Divine Twine</a> and some dew drops and the card was finished! I have been loving these long cards lately! There is just so much room to write inside of them! :) </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Anyway, I sure hope you enjoy today's card! Stop by the <a href="http://yournextstamp.blogspot.com/">YNS blog</a> and the rest of the design team to see what they've come up with! I know you won't be disappointed!</div>

For my card I used the brand new stamp set called "<a href="http://yournextstamp.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=280&products_id=4710">Twinkie</a>". Again, baby on the brain! :) I pulled some old Cosmo Cricket paper and sponged the edges of all my layers. I stamped and colored "<a href="http://yournextstamp.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=280&products_id=4710">Twinkie</a>" using my gray Copic markers and my white Prismacolor Pencil! I love the look this has on Kraft cardstock! I then cut the little lamb out and popped it up on dimensionals! To finish my card, I added some pretty seam binding ribbon and some sweet little pearls!<br />

Good morning everyone! Today I am SUPER excited to share this sweet sneak peek with you today from <a href="http://yournextstamp.com/index.php?test=USD">Your Next Stamp</a> and today I've got baby on the brain! :) The minute I saw this adorable image, I fell in love! Her name is "Layla" and she is as cute as can be. I wanted to create a long card using her so I made the card so that it would fit perfectly into a standard size mailing envelope. I wanted to create a 3D effect so I punched out 4 small circles and then popped the green panel up on dimensionals. I then punched 4 more circles from some turquoise card stock and glued it straight to the card base. I also pulled out the new Letterboard die that YNS has come out with to die cut the word "baby"! I love this die and have had so much fun playing with it! For the little banner, I used the YNS "<a href="http://yournextstamp.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=280&products_id=4495">Fishtail/Banner Die</a>" set and only partially inked the sentiment so that it just read "Sweet Little". I then added some ribbon, rhinestones, and a clip and the card was complete!</div>

This month's Fun Friday challenge is called "Celebrate". We were to create a card that celebrated some sort of event whether it be a birthday, anniversary, or a special moment. Here is what I came up with!<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

I decided to think outside the box a little bit on this card so instead of pulling out a set that was design specifically for birthdays, I combined a few sets! I had wanted to play along with <a href="http://kgiron.blogspot.com/2013/03/sweet-sunday-sketch-challenge-179.html">Karen Giron's Sweet Sunday Sketch</a> from this week and I thought the butterfly from the YNS set "<a href="http://yournextstamp.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=280&products_id=4487">Butterfly Love</a>" would be perfect! I just LOVE this butterfly and think it's absolutely gorgeous! I decided to try something new and watercolor it with my Tim Holtz Distress inks. I really love the effect! After it dried, I cut it out and added some stickles to the wings to make them sparkle. For the rest of the card, I used some old Basic Grey paper (I can't remember the name) and some pretty satin ribbon. I cut out the circle on the front panel and popped it up on dimensionals to give it a fun look. I then die cut a circle out of the middle of the doily. I popped the butterfly up on dimensionals after restamping it and then embellished the card with some fun flowers and a beaded hat pin! The final touch was to use the "happy birthday" sentiment from the YNS set "<a href="http://yournextstamp.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=66_226_98&products_id=273">Happy Birthday Mermaid</a>". </div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
So what do you think? It's a little bit different from the types of cards that I usually create but I really think it turned out to be a pretty card! If you want to play along with the Fun Friday challenge, we'd love to see what you create!

Now, for those of you who saw yesterday's blog post, I bet you all are wondering what we found out about this baby! Well, it looks like we are going to have another little girl! We are so excited and know that Addison is going to make a great big sister! My due date is set for July 29th so that means I am almost half-way done with this pregnancy already! CRAZY! Anyway, I will be sure to keep you updated on that.</div>

Good morning! This is going to be a quick post today because we have some really exciting things happening! Today we find out the gender of our 2nd baby! :) Yay! That's right, I'm pregnant again! I'm due at the end of July and am SO excited!<br />
<br />
Anyway, over the weekend, my good friend Leanne came over and we made some cards. I pulled out some old SU! stuff and had a lot of fun just getting creative! The stamp set I used is a retired SU! set called "Wonderful Watercolors". I LOVE this set! The rest of the materials are actually so old that I'm not even sure what they are called anymore. Haha!<br />
<br />
Well, that's it for today! I will let you know tomorrow what the gender of this little baby is!

Ta-da! What says spring more than a nice gentle rain and rainbows??? :) I absolutely LOVE when it rains here in the mountains. It smells heavenly and since we have so much sunshine, we are almost guaranteed to see a rainbow! </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
So on to the details! First of all, I used one of my favorite images from Your Next Stamp, <a href="http://yournextstamp.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=120&products_id=1527">"Rainy Day Fhiona"</a> and the <a href="http://yournextstamp.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=66_226_169&products_id=1815">"Accessories"</a> stamp sets. I colored her with my Copic markers (emphasizing the shadows where the umbrella would be blocking the sun) and then cut her out and popped her up on the circles using dimensionals. For the sentiment, I used the <a href="http://yournextstamp.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=280&products_id=4495">Fishtail/Banner Die set</a>, and trimmed off one of the ends so that it would fit better. I also wanted to try an old favorite technique with this card so that I could get the rainbow panel so I pulled out some re-inkers and my baby wipes! I LOVE the end result that it gave! The white panel was run through my swirls Cuttlebug folder and I embellished the card with some fun rhinestones that I colored with an orange Copic marker and some ribbon. </div>

<br />
Good morning all! It's a new month which means it's time for a new <a href="http://yournextstamp.blogspot.com/">Your Next Stamp Fun Friday challenge</a> and this month's theme is "vacation". When I think vacation, I think camping. That is what we did growing up and I still love doing it! However, I am not as fond of camping in a tent anymore, I much prefer a camper! That's why I thought this stamp set called "<a href="http://yournextstamp.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=280&products_id=4488">Happy Home</a>" was PERFECT. It is a home on wheels! I wanted to try something a little bit different on my card so I embossed the image with black ep on kraft card stock and then just used my C-3 Copic marker to add some shading. It made for a quick card and overall, I really think it has a cool effect. It's definitely not something I would try a lot, because it is way outside my comfort zone, but it was fun to try! :) The dp used on this card is from an old Cosmo Cricket paper pack. I loved the stickers and thought they made such a fun sentiment for this card!<br />
<br />
Well, that's it for my post today! It's my sweet husband's 30th birthday and so we are off to celebrate by spending the weekend away! I'm so looking forward to it! I hope you all enjoy your weekends as well! Take care! <br />

This year we are doing something a little different with the Your Next Stamp challenges. We are starting something called the "Tasty Tuesday" challenge. Each month, Karen picks out a food related picture and we are then challenging all of you to be inspired by that photo to create a card or project! If you then decide to take part in the challenge, you will be entered into a monthly drawing for a $10 YNS gift certificate! To see more examples of what we've been inspired to create, stop by either the <a href="http://yournextstamp.blogspot.ca/">YNS blog</a>, our <a href="http://pinterest.com/yournextstamp/">Pinterest page</a>, or our <a href="https://www.facebook.com/yournextstamp">Facebook page</a>!

For my card I wanted to use the new set called "<a href="http://yournextstamp.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=280&products_id=4493">Spectacular</a>"! This is the girl version of "<a href="http://yournextstamp.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=280&products_id=4494">Spiffy Cool</a>" and I just adore her! She completely reminds me of myself back when I was in elementary school and...dare I say...my nerdy days! I knew what colors I wanted to work with and found that the Cosmo Cricket "UPcycle" paper pack was perfect! Besides being inspired by the colors, I wanted to represent the sprinkles by both the little girl's dress, and the circles in the background so I found that this past week's <a href="http://deconstructingjen.com/deconstructed-sketch-no-86/">Deconstructed Sketch challenge</a> fit perfectly! I also added a little swirl to the circle behind the girl. </div>

<http: www.yournextstamp.com=""><http: www.yournextstamp.blogspot.com=""><http: www.facebook.com="" yournextstamp="">First up, I created this gorgeous card using the fabulous stamp set called "<a href="http://yournextstamp.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=280&products_id=4487">Butterfly Love</a>". The little butterfly is so sweet and whimsical and I think the sentiment that comes in the set is perfect! To create my card, I used the Mojo Monday sketch challenge and pulled some old Cosmo Cricket papers out. I paper pieced the butterfly's wings and embellished the card with some ribbon and brads! I love the end result! </http:></http:></http:><br />

New stamps and dies are being released this week! And let me tell you, this release is AWESOME! So, without further ado, here's a peek at one of the new stamp sets and dies that are coming!<br />
<br />

The pennant stamp and the fishtail banner dies are part of this month's release and I just love them! I used the largest fishtail banner to go behind my image panel and one of the smallest to use for my sentiment!<br />
<br />
To create my card I followed this week's <a href="http://kgiron.blogspot.com/2013/01/sweet-sunday-sketch-challenge-176.html">Sweet Sunday Sketch</a>. I took a little bit of liberty with the circle on the sketch but I really like the end result. I added a some bakers twine to the top of my pennant for a little extra touch and then colored in the flags with my Copic markers. After they were colored, I then added some stickles for a little shine. To embellish the card, I decided to add some pretty purple rhinestones. <br />
<br />

Good morning! It's Friday which means some of the Your Next Stamp team is taking part in this month's Fun Friday challenge! This month the theme is Love. Make sure to stop by the <a href="http://yournextstamp.blogspot.com/">YNS blog</a> and join in on the fun!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
For my card, I really struggled because we are still in Iowa and since we weren't planning on being her this long, I didn't bring hardly anything but Christmas supplies! Luckily, I had this adorable little bug from the "<a href="http://yournextstamp.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=280&products_id=4344">Smiley Happy Critter Crew</a>" set and a heart stamp from the "<a href="http://yournextstamp.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=66_226_169&products_id=1800">Get Well Accessories</a>" set to work with! I then found some fun paper and punch-outs in my mom's small collection of goodies and went to work from there! :) </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
The paper and punch-outs I used were from a Best Occasions paper pack. I wanted to keep the card fairly simple so I used just a small piece of patterned paper for the background. I then colored the cute little ladybug with my copic markers, cut him out, and popped him up on the little circle punch-out. I then stamped the hearts on the punch-out and colored them in. I wrote "little" and used a punch-out for the word "love" and the letters for "bug" to create my sweet sentiment. I added some black brads to embellish the card and I was done! :) </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
So what do you think? Not to bad for having limited crafting supplies, huh? I hope you all enjoyed today's card and be sure to see what the other design team whipped up by heading over to the <a href="http://yournextstamp.blogspot.com/">Your Next Stamp blog</a>! Thanks for stopping by!</div>

Good morning everyone! Sorry for the long blog break, we've been on an extended trip to Iowa for the holidays and I have limited stamping supplies! However, I did bring enough to create a few cards and so here I am to share one with you! :) I must apologize for the quality of the photo though. Since I am visiting, I do not have my photo tent and it was very difficult for me to get a high quality picture. I promise they will be better in the future! Thanks for understanding!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Anyway, I have a few exciting things to share with you but I am going to tell you one of them today. The rest you will have to be in the dark in for a little while longer, sorry! So, without further ado, I am SO excited to announce that I have been chosen to join the <a href="http://yournextstamp.com/">Your Next Stamp</a> design team permanently! I am over the moon excited, let me tell you! You all know how much I love their stamps so of course I was thrilled to be apart of the team again! </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
To celebrate, I decided to use this ADORABLE set (which may be my new favorite) called <a href="http://yournextstamp.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=280&products_id=4344&zenid=b3bf24eff196ae18ec065b64f5700490">Smiley Happy Critter Crew Set One</a>. Oh. My. Word. I just love it! I also decided to keep the card really simple so I just added a few strips of patterned paper along with some bakers twine and 3 little brads. I am still trying to master the art of simple so this card took surprisingly long to make! Haha! Someday maybe I will figure it out. We'll see! </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">

I love Thursdays because it means it's almost the weekend (and this weekend is special because it's my birthday weekend)! :) Anyway, I took part in today's Y<a href="http://yournextstamp.com/index.php?test=USD">our Next Stamp</a> challenge which is "<a href="http://yournextstamp.blogspot.com/">Anything Goes</a>"! Now I don't know about you, but sometimes, these challenges can be the most difficult! I mean...ANYTHING??? That's a lot of pressure! :) So I pulled out this hilariously adorable stamp called "<a href="http://yournextstamp.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=66_151&products_id=3446">Snoozer</a>" and used this week's SCS sketch challenge. The card was then created using some Really Rust card stock (su!) and some Soft Suede card stock (su!) which I embossed with my wood grain folder and then distressed with some TH Antique Linen Ink. The fabulous dp is from Cosmo Cricket's Happy Camper line. I colored the funny bear with my Copic markers. To get the details in his fur, I used my markers and colorless blender to pounce little dots all over him. Finally, I finished the card by embellishing it with some pretty ribbon and pearls! <br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

Good evening! I have a fun Halloween card for you tonight! I pulled out my <a href="http://www.kraftinkimmiestamps.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=76&products_id=482">"Frank and Kitty"</a> stamp from Kraftin' Kimmie Stamps because I wanted to make a card for Addie for Halloween. The first time I saw this stamp, I immediately thought of her because this is exactly how she carries our poor kitties! Haha! If they had eyebrows, they would totally look at her look that too! :)<br />
<br />
I used the sketch from Karen's <a href="http://kgiron.blogspot.com/2012/10/sweet-sunday-sketch-challenge-169.html">Sweet Sunday Sketch #169</a> and the <a href="http://kraftinkimmiestamps.blogspot.com/2012/10/challenge-150-lets-get-spooky.html">Kraftin' Kimmie Challenge #150 Get Spooky</a>. I think my favorite part about this card (aside from the adorable image) is the fact that I didn't use ANY Halloween paper. All of the paper is from old SU! dp paper packs. They are all retired so I can't remember the names of them (sorry) but I do know that they weren't for Halloween. Fun huh?<br />
<br />
Anyway, to create this card, I stamped the image with Memento ink and colored it with my Copic markers. I then cut out the image panel with my Nestabillities and layered it on some More Mustard card stock. I didn't really have a sentiment that worked well for the card so I used some white stickers to spell out "boo" and cut it out in a banner shape. I embellished the card with some black ribbon (from WalMart) and some random green buttons and that finished up the card!<br />
<br />
I hope you like it! Now, as promised, here are some pictures from our trip to the pumpkin patch. I hope you enjoy looking at them! Thanks again for stopping by today!<br />

I know, it's Monday but I, for one, LOVE Mondays. Am I strange? For sure! :) Anyway, a few weeks ago, I got together with my good friend Leanne to create some cards. That is always a great time and I look forward to it every time! Anyway, I was able to finish two cards (which is a shocker because I love to talk and am not so good at multi-tasking) using the same, simple layout!<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

On my first card I used the Topsy-Turvy Celebration stamp set from SU! I LOVE this set. It is so cute and whimsical!<br />
<br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
For my next card, I pulled out the Love & Laughter stamp set from SU! My brother just got engaged so I wanted to make his fiancee a card and this set was perfect! I love the elegance of these images! </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
For both cards I pulled out the very first set of dp that I ever purchased. I can't even remember what it's called! Sorry about that!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Well, that's it for me today! We spent the afternoon at the pumpkin patch yesterday and had a blast! I am working on editing the pictures so I will try to share those with you, along with another card, tomorrow! Have a great day! </div>

Good morning all! I wanted to share this sweet little gift set that I made for both <a href="http://yournextstamp.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=66_129&products_id=1972">Your Next Stamp Challenges</a> from this week. This week's challenges were "Think Pink" and "Snow Fun"! For the "Think Pink" challenge we were to create something pink for someone fighting breast cancer or in memory of someone who has lost the battle. For my project I wanted to create something for a sweet lady in my church who is currently fighting this horrible disease. She just recently lost all of her hair so I crocheted a pretty pink hat for her to wear and thought it would be neat to make a special box to put it in. Of course, since the challenge from today was "Snow Fun" and I created a warm hat for winter, I wanted to make my projects snow themed as well!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgS3fk-BDXtRHVpbmeb-AHdo4fErrO1k7vQ2VFdqHjShI2AG4ntqCex3b_SdeEo6zZp93mYI44xxwo4YVRnNl9y59aiQfmvsPRsj2wd09qz5nanHb-CGC0ZHFIPl7UOdmmqmPvpYvj7LtOp/s1600/IMAG0541-1.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgS3fk-BDXtRHVpbmeb-AHdo4fErrO1k7vQ2VFdqHjShI2AG4ntqCex3b_SdeEo6zZp93mYI44xxwo4YVRnNl9y59aiQfmvsPRsj2wd09qz5nanHb-CGC0ZHFIPl7UOdmmqmPvpYvj7LtOp/s640/IMAG0541-1.jpg" width="530" /></a></div>

<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
To make my box, I decided to pull out my <a href="http://yournextstamp.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=66_129&products_id=1972">"Skating Fun Fhiona"</a> stamp since this was a hat for winter. I used this tutorial to create my box and embellished it with some different colored card stock which was embossed with my Cuttlebug snowflake folder and then adhered them in a color block pattern. I also added the ribbon and some pom pom tassles to hold the lid on. I then colored and cut Fhiona and popped her up on the front of the box. The final touch was to add some fun rhinestones to the scalloped edge on the lid of the box.</div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

Here's another view of the box so that you can see the color blocking and the top a little better.<br />

Finally, I wanted to create a little card to go along with the gift. I wanted to include a sentiment that I knew would mean something to the recipient so I pulled out my vinyl Thickers and spelled out the word "hugs". I love the little bird from "<a href="http://yournextstamp.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=66_226_169&products_id=1800">Get Well Accessories</a>" set, so I stamped, colored, and cut him out twice and then adhered him to the card with dimensional adhesive. The card is 3x3 so that it would fit with the box and was created using a piece of Cosmo Cricket Jolly by Golly patterned paper. I then embellished it with the same ribbon and rhinestones that I used on the box. </div>

<span style="font-family: inherit;"> This first project is one that I am SO excited about! I have had this clipboard in my stash of alterables for a few years now. I picked it up at Michaels from their dollar section so I am not sure if you will be able to find it still, however, I am sure you would be able to find something similar! Anyway, I am an avid list maker, especially at Christmas time! I wanted to have a place where I could keep track of gift ideas for everyone in my family (and there are a lot of them) so I created a clipboard that I can hang on my fridge! I created the lists using Word on my computer and printed them out on regular paper. Then, whenever I get an idea for a gift, I can just write it down under their specific page! And seriously, is that Santa with his <strike>want</strike> wish list not the cutest?</span><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Here's a closer look at him! I just adore his cute little nose! :) </span><br />

<span style="font-family: inherit;"> Now onto my second idea!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span>
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><b><u>Thank You Cards</u></b></span><br />

<span style="font-family: inherit;">When I saw that this fun set had a "thank you" sentiment in it, I just knew that I was going to use it to create thank you cards from Addison to give out after Christmas. I had her color the background paper with some markers (under my careful observation of course...she likes to color her skin) and stamped the Santa and his banner on some white card stock which I then colored with my Copics. I also stamped him a second time on some solid colored card stock so that the banner would stand out.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: inherit;">I just love how these turned out and know the recipient will as well! It's never too early to teach your children to say thank you! :) </span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: inherit;">And onto my last project!</span><br />

<span style="font-family: inherit;">I really wish these pictures were able to show you just how adorable it is but, sadly, they don't do it justice. This cute little nameplate is actually a wooden stand that I purchased off of a craft website a few months ago. Basically it is a square piece of wood, painted black, with a dowel glued to the back in order to prop it up. When the ideas were rolling through my head as to how to use this set, I thought it would be so fun to put a name in the banner instead of a sentiment. I just used some white stickers and added in Nick's name to the banner. I then glued the finished Santa to the wooden stand and it was finished! So easy yet so cute!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br />Now there are so many other ways that this set can be used. I was thinking that he would be fun to use as a gift tag, on a regular Christmas card, as an ornament to showcase the children's wishlists, etc. The possibilities are endless! </span>

Good evening everyone and happy World Card Making Day! I hope all of you were able to get some fun stamping time in today! I know I did and I loved every minute of it! For today's post, I wanted to share this cute card that I made using the adorable "<a href="http://yournextstamp.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=280&products_id=4056">Feather Duster Ellie</a>" set from Your Next Stamp. This set cracks me up because I am far from being a domestic goddess. I wish that I were one, but I'm definitely not. Haha! I paired her with my Cosmo Cricket UPcycle Mini Deck and some cute buttons. I just love how this card turned out though and already have an idea of who it is going to! :) </div>

Good Friday morning everyone! I am thrilled to be able to share a card with you today because I was asked to be this months guest designer for <a href="http://yournextstamp.com/index.php?test=USD">Your Next Stamp</a>! Woohoo! If you weren't already aware, YNS is one of my all-time favorite stamp companies! Their designs are so adorable and I just love to color them with my Copics! That being said, I am just over the moon excited to be able to join the fabulous YNS design team again this month!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Anyway, today I participated in this week's <a href="http://yournextstamp.blogspot.com/2012/10/yns-fun-friday-let-it-snow.html">YNS Fun Friday</a>. For the month of October, our Fun Friday theme is "Let it Snow". Of course I had to pull out the adorable snowman from the "<a href="http://yournextstamp.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=66_129&products_id=981">Freezy the Snowman</a>" set. He is just so stinkin' cute! Also, I wanted to use a sentiment from the amazing "<a href="http://yournextstamp.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=66_129&products_id=3517">Holiday Snow Globe Set</a>". I just love that set! </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
To create my card, I pulled some Garden Green card stock (SU!) for my cardbase and embossed it using my snowflake Cuttlebug folder on half of the card front. I then layered on some panels using Riding Hood Red (SU!) and Chocolate Chip (SU!) card stock. I stamped and colored the snowman using my Copic markers and then cut him out using the Spellbinders Labels Eighteen dies. I used the Martha Stewart snowflake border punch to add some detail to the red strip and embellished with some ribbon and brads. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Now on to my favorite part of the card. The dp. Can you tell what it is? My 20 month old daughter colored it for me! I was trying to figure out a way to really personalize our Christmas cards this year and what better way then by having her help me make them??? My husband absolutely loved the idea and was amazed that I could create a card that still looked well put together after using a piece of paper that had been "scribbled" on. I think her "scribbling" just adds so much though! What do you think? </div>

Good evening everyone! I apologize for my brief absence. We went on a fun family vacation last week and I never had a chance to upload my cards before leaving because I had hoped we would have some sort of internet service. Boy was I crazy for thinking that! We didn't even have phone service, let alone any kind of internet! Anyway, I am hope now and am really excited to share today's card with you!</div>

For my card I used the <a href="http://yournextstamp.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=66_226_98&products_id=273">Happy Birthday Mermaid stamp set from Your Next Stamp</a>. This set is SO stinkin' cute! Probably one of my favorites in my entire stash. I colored her with my Copics and added some stickles to give her some fun sparkle. I then decided to share how I create my inked backgrounds with you so I created a short video tutorial on that. You can check that video out below if you are interested. The paper is called Dreamy from My Mind's Eye. I just love the extra glitter that it has in it!<br />

Hey there! I videoed myself creating today's card so that you could see how I made it! I must warn you though, it's a little rough. I'm still working on developing my skills and I tend to be way too picky when it comes to being crafty. Normally it's fine but when trying to video the card making process, it makes things difficult! Haha! I also had problems with my camera battery dying without me realizing it! So frustrating! Anyway, I won't go into detail on the card in this post since you can watch it for yourself in the video!</div>
