Enough about that, that's not why you are here.....nope, you are here because it is Wednesday, so that means it is time for another Wednesday Stamp Club challenge. This week's sketch is another amazing one, so let's get to it!!

For my card tonight, I used the SUPER CUTE new Pure Innocence: I Get A Kick Out of You set. It was stamped on an X-Press It Blending card, and then colored with my Copics. I then cut it out, and layered it on some Summer Picnic DP, Orange Fizz, and Red Hot card stock. My ribbons are all from SU, and my brads are all from Michael's. I used the new Four Point Frame Die-namic to showcase my sentiment....I still LOVE a good game of kickball, don't you??!!

For tonight, I used the new Hello, Sunshine set, illustrated by Claire Keay. I am in LOVE with this new line, so I jumped at the chance to use her again. She was stamped on an X-Press It Blending card, and then colored with Copics, and paper pieced. I layered her with Black Licorice, and I also used Red Hot and Berrylicious. Fun Colors! My DP is from Basic Grey. I used the new Simply Scallops Medium Die-namics....so fun, along with some old MFT ribbon.

For the inside, I used more of the same supplies, and another sentiment from the set.

Well, that is it for me for now! Thanks for stopping by, and have fun on the hop!! Next stop, Michele Boyer!

Do It Anyway....

Tonight we are on our FINAL night of teaser's at My Favorite Things before our big Blog Hop and Shop tomorrow night at 10pmEST....so FUN!! I for one am DYING over this month's release, and I can tell by your reactions that you all are, too. It just makes it so much....MORE...know what I mean? Anywho, tonight we are showing you two new sets: Clearly Sentimental About Success, and Fiesta Girl(March's VIP set). I don't usually go for the sentiment only cards, but with sentiments like these, how could you not?

For my card, I started by stamping my sentiment with Memento Rich Cocoa on a piece of GP white cardstock. I then cut it out using my Framed Greeting Die-namics. I then layered it on top of some Pink Pirouette and Hot Fudge Cardstock. Do you SEE that GORGEOUS new Doily Die-namic, the High Tea Doily......OMGOSH!! I am in LOVE with it!!


The Doily comes with it's on pop out tool, which you are gonna want...just sayin'.....oiy vey, that's a lot of holes!!! It was cut out of a piece of Bella Rose DP from SU. I then layered it on top of more do the DP, and cardstock. My ribbon was from MFT, and my brads are from Michael's.

On the inside, I used another Die-namic, the Dainty Doily Border. I also used my FAVORITE saying from this set....that pretty much sums up my life. I tend to be afraid of everything, change and I don't get along, and this saying SPEAKS to me.

Well, that is it for me for now!! Here is all the NEED TO KNOW info!!

Today is day four of this month's new release teasers for My Favorite Things, and we have two fun new sets to share with you tonight: Inspired By Spring, and Hello Sunshine by Clair Keay. Isn't she the cutest??!!

For my card tonight, I stamped my image on an X-Press It Blending card, and then colored most of it with my Copics. I paper pieced her dress with some Cosmo Cricket Togetherness paper, which I also used on the rest of the card. My cardstock colors are Berry Sorbet, Summer Sunrise(both PTI), and Berrylicious(MFT). My ribbon is from PTI, as well as my button, and my brads are from Michael's. I loosely followed a Sweet Sunday Sketch from a week or two ago. I used the Sweet Stack Die-namics for my sentiment....I'm obsessed.

It's Time, It's Time, IT'S TIME!!!!

Ok, so MAYBE I am a LITTLE excited about this month's My Favorite Things release, but seriously, WHO WOULDN'T BE!!!! We have SO MUCH AMAZING stuff being released this month, I was at a loss as to what to do for it.......it's all so awesome!! I feel like the little girl in Despicable Me....IT'S SO (AWESOME) I'M GONNA DIE!!!

My first card uses the SUPER FUN new Typewritter Alphabet....SO FUN!! I started by using the SUPER FUN new Fishtail Banner Die-namic. I used GP white for the smaller circle, Orange Fizz for the scalloped circle, two different Stephanie Fizer Robot Digi Papers for the smaller banner, and Black Licorice for the layer.....a LOT of Cuttlebugging, but SO WORTH IT!! My image is from the SF set, Bunch Of Bots set. I stamped it on an X-Press It Blending Card, and then colored it with my Copics. It was layered with the same card stock colors I used on the banner. See the fun new Open Zig Zag Border Die-namics....SO FUN!! I used Black Twine for my banner, and some other ribbon I had laying around, as well as, some brads from Michael's.





For the inside, I used more of the same supplies...and I even used my alphabet to create a sentiment....which I spelled wrong at first, so I had to use the Sweet Stack Die-namics to "fix" it. Sometimes, I'm a doofus...luckily, I'm okay with that!!!

For my next card, I used the SUPER CUTE new Flapper Doodles set, Hold Me Tight. I stamped it on an X-Press It Blending Card, and then colored it with my Copics. My card stock is Wild Wasabi, and Regal Rose. I used MFT ribbon, and I hand cut out my sentiment. My scallops were made using the new Simply Scallops Medium Die-namics...yaaaaaay, more SCALLOPS!! The DP I used is part of the Echo Park Life is Good line for my DP's. The polka dot paper was cut out using the new Open Scallop Doily Die-namic.....another fun one!!! See the fun way I attached my sentiment? Yep, I used part of the Fishtail Banner Die-namic to create it!!




For the inside, I used more of the same supplies, but stamped some hearts from the set, too. I colored them in, as well as their cheeks, just to give it another POP of color.
Well, that is it for me for now!! Here is all the NEED TO KNOW info!!

Forgotten Stamp Friday-Week 17

Hey everyone, and welcome to Forgotten Stamp Friday.....where is my card...well, it's part of my My Favorite Things teaser post for today, so be sure to head there to see it!! Not familiar with this challenge...well, you should be!! Every week, I challenge myself, and all of you, to make a card using your poor, lonely, dusty, unused, forgotten stamps. I feel guilty with the sheer VOLUME of stamps that I own in comparison to what I ACTUALLY use, so this challenge is one that helps me to ease my guilt a little. There are NO rules, just that you
a)PLAY ALONG
b) use a stamp that is either unused or owned and un-inked for 6 months
c) come back and add yourself to the linky thingy so I can see what you've done
d) be sure if you upload to SCS, that you use the keyword FSF17...that way I can find you!!

There is no time limit, this is just a jumping off point for you to get into those old stamp sets, and show them some love.
Here's a little peeky of my sample, but seriously, go see the whole thing!!


Well, that is it for me for now!! Thanks for stopping by and have a great day!! Don't forget to add yourself to my linky thingy.

MFTWSC13- My Favorite Hello

Happy Wednesday people, long time, no see!! I needed a little break from blogging and stamping, but I HOPE with the new My Favorite Things release looming near, it is time to get crackin!! Teasers start on Friday, and I am SUPER excited!! Enough about that, that's not why you are here.....nope, you are here because it is Wednesday, so that means it is time for another Wednesday Stamp Club challenge. This week's sketch is another amazing one, so let's get to it!!

For my card tonight, I started by stamping both main images from my Flapper Doodles- My Favorite Hello set on a X-Press It Blending card. I then colored them with my Copics. Jelly Bean Green, and Sour Apple were used as layers, as well as Black Licorice. My PP is from the Basic Grey Lime Rickey pack. I used some MFT ribbon, along with some Black Twine, also bought from MFT. My flowers were cut out using the Flower Trio and Leaf Trio Die-namics. I used my Simply Scalloped Die-namics for my scallops, and my sentiment was cut out by hand.




For the inside, I used more of the same supplies, and another saying from the card. For my sentiment, I used another set of dies, the Sweet Stack Die-namics. Gotta love a Die-namic you can layer!!
