Crazy 4 Challenges- You Really Got This

It's my month to host the challenges at the Crazy 4 Challenges blog, and since today was opening ceremonies for the Summer Olympics, I decided to go with an Olympics theme! Basically, you can either use something sports related, or use the colors related to the Olympics. Me, I did both...and even pulled the rings in a bit!!

I decided to pair the super cute The Cat's Pajamas set You Got This with some fun paper from Carta Bella. My cardstock is from both MFT and SU. I paired it with all sorts of buttons, brads, twine, and red ruffled ribbon. My circles were cut with the Framed Up 2 CutUps.

Here are the TCP products I have used:

Well, that is it for me for now!! Thanks for stopping by and checking out my blog!! I hope to see you at the Crazy 4 Challenges blog playing along with our challenge! Have a great day!

August Paper Nest Dolls Challenge!

It's time for this month's Paper Nest Dolls Inspiration Challenge.

We just had a special Christmas in July release, so I decided to use one of the gorgeous new dolls released, Avery with Snowman.

I paired Avery with some of my favorite Christmas paper from Carta Bella, and some fun embellishments as well.

Well, that is it for me for now! Thanks for stopping by and have a great day!

CYCI#131-Color Challenge Bunny Style

Hey there all my favorite people in blog land, and welcome back to my humble little blog for another 

Can You Case It 

challenge!!

This week's challenge is a color challenge, and we are looking forward to seeing you play along!

For my card today, I used one of my favorite paper pads when it comes to this color scheme....and yes, I have a paper pad that makes me think of this exact color combo. Don't judge me.

I paired it with my super cute Away We Go set from The Cat's Pajamas. Now that I look for it on the website, I think it may be retired(not retired, just out of stock currently!!), but hey, they have the Drop In set, which is pretty darn close!!

Skipping Stones Designs August Challenge-Summer Fun

Hey there stampers, welcome to my first challenge with the amazing chicks at Skipping Stones Design!

This month's challenge is a SUMMER challenge, and since I just joined the team, I had to stretch the theme just a bit to make it work.

Basically, I used a paper pad from Echo Park called Hello Summer, and paired it with the I'd Pick You set, and some bright and SUPER cheerful colors, and BAM...summer time. 

Hey, I tried!! 

And of course, I had to add all my favorite embellishments, or it just wouldn't be a Jessie creation!

So, here's the deal.....the challenge starts today, so we really want you to play along!! When you have your creation made,  be sure to go back to the Skipping Stones Design blog, and add it to the challenge inlinkz! 

Well, that is it for me for now! Thanks for checking out my work and have a great day!

Life Ring Ellie Inspiration

Hey there blogland, I'm here with a little something I made up using the Life Ring Ellie stamp. She is probably my favorite image from our recent releases, and I am trying to embrace the fact that summer is here, even though I truly dislike the season in general. Her cuteness, and this awesome paper I got from Carta Bella makes up for it, though, right??!!

As I said before, I paired Ellie with some paper from Carta Bella, and used some other fun embellishments to show her off. Isn't she cuuuute??!!

Well, that is it for me for now! Thanks for checking out my work! Be sure to stop by the Paper Nest Dolls Shop to check out the newest images that have been released, including the special CHRISTMAS IN JULY images...they are AMAZING!!

Have a great day!!

CYCI#130-Celebrate, Birthday Style!

Hey there stampers, and welcome to this week's Can You Case It challenge!! This week's challenge is one that anyone can play along it....because it's a BIRTHDAY CHALLENGE!! 

If you head to the CYCI blog you will see two different graphics, one for a "Make a Birthday Card" and the other is more of a Sketch. I kind of played off of both. I was definitely inspired by the sketch, but then went on my own way....and wound up here!

My image is from the super cute Bring On The Cake set from The Cat's Pajamas! I used the Celebration Toppers CutUps, too, which make any card extra fun. 

Well, that is it for me for today! Thanks for stopping by and checking out my stuff, and I hope to see you playing along with this awesome challenge!

Have a great day!!

Kraftin' Kimmie Saturday Challenge-Summer

Hi everyone! Welcome to another challenge at Kraftin' Kimmie Stamps!

This week's challenge is a summer theme, so I choose to play along using the super cute Oceans of Love set paired with some Doodlebug Let's Be Mermaids paper.

I colored my octopii(still having the debate with myself/the internet over how to spell/make octopus plural) in some bright colors to make my DP. They were then layered on top of circles cut out of with the Open Scallop Doily Die-namics and some White cardstock from Michael's. All my embellishments are my norm: buttons, ruffled ribbon, brads...you know.
