Paper Makeup Monday Challenge (on Wednesday)

Hope everyone is having a great week. If you are looking for the Shimmerz Birthday Blog Hop post, please scroll down to the previous post.

Since I'm all caught up with my design team work for the month I thought I would take some time this week and do something totally crazy....stamp for fun! LOL. Don't get me wrong, I love all of the stamping time I get, but for the most part I usually spend my stamping time working on design team requirements. This week though, everything is just for fun.
Paper Makeup Stamps has a challenge on their blog every Monday. This week the challenge was to make a project using the colors yellow, aqua, chocolate and white/cream. It just so happens that my latest order from Paper Makeup was delivered on Monday so I had to get them inked up right away. At first I had a hard time trying to tie in the aqua but in the end I absolutely LOVED how my card turned out. I smile every time I look at this adorable guy!
Supplies used: Stamps from Paper Makeup Stamps, SU CS, SU DP, Copic markers, Basic Grey self adhesive pearls.

Thanks for stopping by today! I hope you are all having a terrific week!

DRS Blog Challenge #23!

Welcome to another DRS Designs Blog challenge...this week the DT was challenged to make a buckle card. You can find a tutorial on how to make these great looking and easy cards HERE on SCS.

We would love for you to play along with the challenge. Post a direct link to your creation in the comment section of the challenge post on the DRS blog so we can check it out! If you upload to a public gallery, please use the keyword, DRSC23.

Before this challenge, I had never made a buckle card...ever! The tutorial on SCS is really easy to follow. I was a little worried about my card being too simple, but in the end I actually LOVE how it turned out! The flower background is a small stamp that I stamped over and over. I colored the flowers with my Copic and Prismacolor markers and added SU Dazzling Diamonds glitter to the white flowers. The large red flower is a Prima flower that I folded in half and added a coordinating button. The card is actually really beautiful in real life (the photo just doesn't do it justice).
Supplies used: All stamps are from DRS Designs, SU cardstock, SU Dazzling Diamonds glitter, SU button, Prima flower, Copic and Prismacolor markers, SU word window punch.

Thanks for stopping by today! Be sure to check out the DRS Designs blog for some more fabulous buckle cards made by the DRS design team.

Exciting News!!

Today I wanted to share some exciting news with all of you. A few weeks back, I got an email asking me if I would be interested in joining the Little Paper Shop design team. I can't even begin to tell you how excited I was. I absolutely LOVE the stamps from Little Paper Shop. They have fabulous designs, wonderful quality clear stamps and tremendous customer service. It took me about 2 seconds to accept the invitation! I am thrilled and honored to be joining such a talented team of stampers!

Little Paper Shop is releasing two super-cute sets this month! Both sets will be released THIS Tuesday, June 16th and will be on sale for 10% off beginning on release day. This sale will last one week or while supplies last, so be sure to grab your new stamps while they're HOT!

Our first preview is one "sweet" set, {Katie Cupcake}. Isn't she just the cutest! For my card I colored the image twice. I cut out one Katie and one bow and popped them up on the other image with dimensionals. I glittered the cupcake with chunky glitter to give it the look of sugar.


Be sure to head on over to the LPS Blog to check out the rest of the DT's adorable previews!

Last but not least, want to WIN this set? All you have to do is leave a comment over on the LPS blog and one lucky winner will be chosen via Random.org...good luck and have a "Sweet" Day!

Thanks for stopping by today. I hope you are all having a wonderful weekend!
