MSS Block Party!

Happy Sunday everyone! Today was a lazy day here at my house. My husband sat around and watched football, and I crafted! :-) I decided to try a little challenge today... It's one that I wait for every month because I have a lot of fun using my Market Street Stamps!

So for this weekend's Block Party project, I wanted to do a little chipboard album. I've used the Comfort Food stamp set before on a little card, but today, I REALLY wanted to get some use of this set because it's one of my faves! So here is what I came up with...

I wanted it to say "Favorite Recipes" so I had to add an S off of the Soups stamp. I really just love the little apron!

Here are some pics at different angles:

Thanks for stopping by today! I hope you enjoyed my little project!

Gettin' Sketchy!

Happy Monday everyone! For those of you who visit my blog quite frequently, you know that I loooove challenges! I participate in challenges here and there and not just because there are usually prizes involved, but because they really get me motivated to create. Another thing that I love is to use sketches. So sketch challenges are right up my alley!

I decided to start my week off by playing along with 2 sketch challenges. Both of these were made with the fabulous "Splendid" paper collection by Authentique.

The first card I made for Market Street Stamps Sketch Challenge #5 using this sketch:

For this card I used Market Street Stamps Homegrown Stamp Set.

The second card I made for the Unity Stamp Co Kit of the Month Challenge using this sketch:

For this card, I used Unity Stamp Co's June 2011 Kit of the month.

Both of these challenges are still going on, but not for long! So if you want to enter, get your projects made and posted soon! :-)

I just LOVE challenges! And when I saw that Market Street Stamps was having a fun little weekend challenge, I had to join in!

Here is my project for this weekends challenge.

I used the Gone Campin Stamp set on the cover of this little chipboard album. I thought I would try a little something different with this album, so instead of opening up like a book, it is folded to be displayed or can be tied together and used as a coffee table mini book. The paper that I used for this album is the Campfire line by October Afternoon. Cute, right?

Thanks for stopping by today!

Life's Short... Buy the shoes!

Hey everyone! I have another treat for you today! I just finished a fabulous card and I just had to share!

Let me start off by saying that I LOVE the Color Cue challenge each month that Market Street Stamps has! I love challenges in general, but this one gets me outside of my box sometimes using color schemes that I might never put together myself!

Here's the color scheme for this month:

And here is the card that I came up with...

I used paper from the Olivia line by Basic Grey which went PERFECT with the color scheme! I used the Fashionista stamp set from Market Street Stamps on this card... my very first Market Street set that I ever got! I also tried a new technique... layering image stamps! I will try to do a tutorial on that at some point, it's so simple!!!

This project also doubles as my "Card Creating Tuesday" project for the My Cricut Craft Room blog. I used the new Close To My Heart exclusive Art Philosophy Cricut Cartridge (which I absolutely LOVE) to cut the little pennant. There are sooo many little things to cut with this cartridge that are great for titles and for frames to stamp on! It's a must have cartridge in my book!

I hope you all enjoyed my project for today! :-)

Marshmallows - A Campfires Best Friend!

Wow, 2 blog posts in one day is a big thing for me! I usually try to do one a day, but with all of the traffic to my blog lately, I wanted to add another project that I forgot to post last week :-)

Do you like camping? Well, here's a cute little treat!

I altered this adorable little band-aid tin with the Campfire paper line by October Afternoon. The little moose is from the Great Outdoors Collection by Little Scraps of Heaven Designs. And the cute little sentiment is from the Gone Campin stamp set by Market Street Stamps.

Thanks for stopping by today! Make sure you check back tomorrow, I will have an awesome treat and tutorial posted for my awesome readers!

Color Cue Challenge #4

I'm always up for a good challenge, and since moving, I haven't been scrapping as much, so I decided to enter the Market Street Stamps Color Cue Challenge here at the last minute :-)

I love color challenges! This one was fun because I think these colors are great together, and I also had won some paper recently that I thought would work great for this! It isn't dead on the color scheme, but it works!

I made this card with Cosmo Cricket's Ever After paper line and Market Street Stamps new Compass stamp set.

Thanks for stopping by today! :-)

Sketch Challenge #3

I was playing with my stamps tonight and decided that I wanted to play along with the Sketch Challenge over at Market Street Stamps. I just love their stamps and their challenges are a lot of fun!

For the challenge this week you are required to follow a sketch AND add glimmer spray to your project.

I do own about 5 bottles of glimmer mist and I am always afraid to use it! So I watched a little video on how to use glimmer mist and learned I was doing it all wrong! You DO NOT shake your glimmer mist! Apparently that clogs the sprayer and that's why sometimes you get bubbles on your paper. I guess it's simple, you just have to gently swirl it before use!

Here is the card that I came up with for this challenge:

You can't see it too well from the photo, but I used glimmer mist on the swimsuit and also added some stickles to it as well.

For this card, I used the Chillaxin stamp set from Market Street Stamps. I also used the Scalloped Shapes from Little Scraps of Heaven Designs for the scalloped background behind the swimsuit.

I don't know if it is because I have been busy packing getting ready to move, or what, but my creative mojo has been lacking today! I hope you all like this little card and thanks for stopping by! :-)
