For my card tonight, I used the new Freeze The Moment set that was released Saturday. SO CUTE!!! I stamped my girl, and her pinwheel on an X-Press It Blending Card, and then colored it with my Copics. She was then layered with Red Hot(MFT) and Taken With Teal. I used SU ribbons, and some Maraschino Twine. My spiral clip is from Creative Express, and my brads are from Michael's.

Crazy 4 Challenges-Vacation!

Hey everyone, and welcome to this week's Crazy 4 Challenges challenge! Now that the weather is sunny and clear (hopefully), we often start planning vacations. Create a card showing a favorite vacation spot or activity.If you decide to play along with us, all you have to do is create a card/project, and upload it to your blog and/or to your SCS Gallery using the keyword C4C89. Don't forget to come back here and link it on Mr Linky so that everyone else can see it too.


I am SUPER happy with this card...I can't even tell you. It isn't just the card, though, it's the memories that I attach to it. Now, I have had a couple of ridiculously funny camping/canoeing trips, but I also think trips to Disney, Girl Scout camp, all sorts of stuff. Me+boat=some one's going to pee themselves with laughter. My favorite story involves my now ex-husband, but it's too funny not to laugh at now...especially since he got a "little" hurt by it. hehe. We were canoeing in Missouri at Current River, and we were arguing...something we did VERY well. He couldn't steer, and I wasn't much help, either. We are starting to get near the trees, I am yelling at him, and there it is....a terribly low branch. My sister and brother in law saw it better, but I saw the branch coming, and without a word, laid back flat in the boat so it would go over me....but it WHACKED him right in the face. I almost fell out of the canoe I was laughing so hard. I know it's mean, but hey, it was HYSTERICAL.
My image is the Flappers Doodles-SS Flapper. I stamped it on X-Press It blending card, and then colored it with my Copics. I layered it with Grape Jelly, Sour Apple, and Fossil card stock. My paper is from the Lilybee Designs Happily Lost pad. I used Michael's brads, a Creative Express spiral clip, and some Honeydew and Lilac twine. For my border, I used the Catch A Wave Die-namic, and my sentiment is the Sweet Stack Die-namic.


For the inside, I used more of the same supplies.

FSF23- Let's Hang

First of all, I want to start out by apologizing if you are having any problems with my blog...whether it be viewing or commenting. Blogger is apparently having issues AGAIN, and I am one of the lucky ones that has been affected. I had to switch back to Internet Explorer just to get this posted!!
Since it is Friday, it is time for Forgotten Stamp Friday. If you aren't familiar with this challenge, it is a personal challenge that I have posed to myself to make me use some of my uninked, unused, and neglected stamps. The only rule is that it has to have been uninked or owned for 6 months. Digi images count, as well...we tend to collect those, and then never use them, too! If you decide to play along, just be sure to enter your name in the Mr. Linky, and when uploading to an online gallery, use the keyword...FSF23.

For my card today, I used a previously released Digital(and now part of the Creeper Kit) stamp, Jack. He is from The Greeting Farm, and you just HAVE to love him. I was in LOVE with the color combo and paper from my previous day's card, so I couldn't resist using him for Jack, too. He was printed on an X-Press It Blending card, and then colored with my Copics. I used more of the MME Lime Twist Out of the Blue paper. It was paired with Basic Grey, Night of Navy, and Crushed Curry. I used MFT ribbon, spiral clip from Creative Express, and Michael's brads.
Well, that is it for me for now! Thanks for stopping by, and I can't wait to see if you play along!

My sentiment was added with the Say What Die-namic. I used the Open Scalloped Border Die-namic, as well. My card stock is all from MFT: Hot Fudge, Bubblegum Pink, and Sour Apple.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY BAR!!!!

Today we are celebrating my friend, and fellow MFT teammate, Barbara Anders' birthday, and what better way to celebrate than with a blog HOP!! The hop started at our ring leader's, Tammy Hershberger, blog. If you didn't start there, better head back to the start!! There are a TON of talented ladies along the way, so if you are here now, you should have come from Julie Koerber's blog.

Since it is Friday, it is ALSO Forgotten Stamp Friday time, so I kinda threw them together! 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 FSF22...that way I can find you!!


For my card tonight, I used the SUPER CUTE Pure Innocence- My Balloon. I stamped her on a piece of X-Press It Blending Card. I then colored her with my Copics, and layered her with Orange Fizz, Baja Breeze, and Hot Fudge. I used the MME Stella and Rose Hattie collection. Both my ribbons are from MFT, and my brads are from Michael's. I used the AWESOME Stacked Open Scallop Die-namics, as well. My sentiment is from the Clearly Sentimental About Birthdays set.

Well, that is it for me for now! Thanks for stopping by, and have a great time on the hop!!! Next stop on the birthday train: Frances' Blog! YAAAY!!
