Sunday Stampin!

I finally got a little free time this afternoon all to myself and I couldn't resist a trip to my stamp room. I received my first stamp set from Firecracker Designs by Pamela a few days ago and I have been anxious to ink it up. I actually made 4 cards with this set today but I'll just show you one for now. This card is definitely not my normal style but I thought I would have a little fun with it. Annabelle is on a rainbow kick, drawing rainbows, writing her name in rainbow colors, naming stuffed animals "rainbow"... so I had her in mind the entire time I was working on this one.
The butterflies are all stamped on white cardstock. For the full butterflies I stamped them a second time on scrap cardstock and cut them out. I colored and painted them and then glued them over the first images to give them a 3-D look. I used rhinestones for their bodies.
The sentiment is printed out on the computer.

Supplies used: Butterflies-Fly stamp set from Firecracker Designs, Stampin Up! cardstock, Rhinestones from K&Co., Bic Write*It permanet markers, Prismacolor markers, Bashful Blue SU classic ink, Shimmerz paint - Angel wings, computer.

Thanks for stopping by. I hope you all had a wonderful weekend! Preschool starts back up tomorrow so hopefully that means I will have a little more stamping time soon!

Don't Forget...

There are only a couple days left to pre-order the 4 new stamp sets from Firecracker Designs by Pamela. The pre-order special is a great deal...it is like getting a set for free!

I'm not sure how much computer time I will have this weekend, but make sure to check back on Monday for some new projects! I hope you all have a wonderful weekend!

Another JustRite DIY card

I love the endless possibilities the JustRite DIY monogram stampers give you. The sky is the limit! For this card I used the clear Stampendous set "Holiday Chick" to coordinate with my JustRite DIY "Hey Chick" sentiment. The chick is popped up with a demensional and covered with Doodlebug crushed velvet flock. I love how it turned out. The circle of rhinstones took a near lifetime to put on but it was worth it in the end.

Supplies: SU Black and Summer Sun CS, GP white CS, DCWV DP, Stampendous Holiday Chick stamp set, JustRite DIY monogram stamper, SU ticket corner punch, self adhesive rhinestones from Michael's, Doodlebug crushed velvet flock, Cuttlebug embossing folder.

Hope you are all enjoying your day! It is a rainy one here in Wisconsin today, but I can't complain because we REALLY REALLY need the rain! Thanks for stopping by!

5 years...where does the time go?

Annabelle is going to be 5 in a couple weeks...I can't believe she is almost 5. 5 years already...amazing. As first time parents, we had no idea what to do with her when she was born. Everyone just kept telling us it would get better after a few months...a few months, that seemed like a lifetime, now here we are almost 5 years later!
We are having a birthday party in a couple weeks and these are the invitations that I made. She has never had a real birthday party so the excitement builds each day. Every day she tells me how many days left until her birthday and how many days until her party (which is the day after her birthday). She is just so cute!
For the invites I used the JustRite DIY monogram stamper and a clear kids birthday set from Fiskars. I wanted to stay as simple as possible since I was making 20 of these, LOL.
I didn't have the rhinestones on my first version but I thought they were too plain so the rhinestones added the finishing touch (and an extra $0.20 per invite to mail)



Thanks for stopping by today. I hope you have a wonderful day!

Don't Forget...

We'd love to see you play along with this week's DRS Designs blog challenge....ATC's.
Just make an ATC and use the keyword DRSC3 when you upload to SCS. You can also leave a direct link to your ATC in the comments on the DRS blog!

I'm Back!

Ok, so I've been here all along, but my computer hasn't been. We finally got our computer back from the Apple store today and I am SOOOOO happy!!! I have been lost these past 4 days without it!
Unfortunately I don't have any daylight left to take pictures tonight so you'll have to stop back tomorrow to see what I have been up to the past couple days!
Hope you all have a wonderful night!

EXCITING NEWS and MORE!!

I wanted to share some exciting news yesterday but we took the kids for a family day in Wisconsin Dells and well, I was just too tuckered out when we got home to post on my blog.
So without further ado, here is my "EXCITING NEWS"...
A month or so ago I applied for a spot on the design team for Firecracker Designs by Pamela. Last week I got a message from Pamela telling me I made the team. I can't tell you how excited I am. I am joined on the design team by a wonderfully talented bunch of ladies and I can't wait to work with them. I have links to all of their blogs listed on my side bar!

And now for the "MORE"...Pamela has 4 awesome sets coming out this month. Click HERE for a peak at the new sets (our main computer is at the Apple store getting repaired so I'm working on my laptop and well...it doesn't exactly always cooperate. Because of this I can't post a picture, only a link right now, sorry!!).
There is a special Pre-order special going on for the next few days ...here are the deets:
You can order all 4 sets for the great price of $23.96!! That’s a savings of $12.00!! (It's like getting a set for free!!!) Just go to the pre-order page, and click “get it” …it's that easy! You will have until Sep 7th to place your pre-order.
Sorry for my lack of pictures, hopefully our computer will be ready to be picked up tomorrow and I can get back into my normal blogging routine, LOL!
I hope you all had a wonderful holiday weekend. Thanks for stopping by today!
