Miss Emma's Card Creations (She's 5!)

I was upstairs working on some cards when Miss E came up for a looksy. She LOVES my scraproom. Unfortunately with my room being so tiny and I have stuff piled everywhere there isn't much room in there for her to create. She does make stuff from time to time, often involving jewels and my glue dots! If and when we build on, when I get a larger scrap room I want to make sure there is plenty of room for a kids area. She made these cards all by herself. Actually it's one card decorated on each side. She did everything herself, with the exception of stamping. She picked out the stamp and ink, but I stamped it for her where she told me to. Not only does she like to scrap, but she loves to draw. And in my opinion she's pretty darn good at it. I'll have to post some drawings sometime. I can't draw at all, so not sure who she gets it from? She got into some of my good stuff - I tried not to flinch :-)

Products used are: DCWV stickers, Daisy D's Chloe Marie border sticker, Clearsnap ink, Suzie Scallop stamp from Apple Blossom Studio, Paper Studio gems (she's into bling like her mommy!) Card base is from DMD and size is 5x7.


On this side she used Scrapworks Shimmer Shapes and also added some Daisy D's Chloe Marie border sticker and a Paper Studio gem. DMD card base size 5x7.

I'm not sure what category this card falls under? Love maybe? The kids had soccer practice tonight (man it's hot) and I managed to find a few minutes in my scrap room after we got home. I used Autumn Leaves French Twist papers, K and Company quote sticker, the new Loop-De-Loo stamp from Apple Blossom Studio, Clearsnap Chestnut Roan ink, Artful Collage flowers and leaves from Prima, and some Paper Studio gems. Size is about 4 3/4 x 6 1/2.

Creatively Yours - Card Sketch #9

(click for a better view)

Big shocker it rained here again yesterday (A LOT!) And of course that meant our electricity went out again - this time for about 5 hours. About once a week this keeps happening sigh.... So I'm finally able to get this card posted to the blog.

You can find this cool sketch here. I modified some as you can see - such as making the card a narrow up and down one instead of squatty. I used some more of the yummy Daisy D's Chloe Marie, added a K and Company quote sticker, Paper Studio bling and some Jolee's butterflies that I found in my stash when I was looking for something else...love when that happens! It's like you went shopping, but didn't spend anymore money. Hubby has to like that!! I also used the Blossom Badge frame stamp from Apple Blossom Studio and Colorbox chalk ink to make the die cut looking thing under the quote.

Whale Done Card - Melissa Phillips Sketch Challenge/Lime Tart

(click on picture for better view)

I made this for a sketch challenge at Melissa Phillips' blog. I stalk her blog quite regularly. The stuff she makes is just amazing! I love the way she layers things and pays attention to the smallest detail. When I try to layer embellishments or try something shabby chic, it just turns into a disaster! Be sure to stop by for some great inspiration!

Size of the card is 4 1/4 x 5 1/2. I used Bazzill cardstock, paper and sticker is once again from K and Company's Berry Sweet line, ABC rubons and glitter cardstock are Doodlebug, Brads are Paper Studio, ink is Clearsnap and the oval/square stamp is from Apple Blossom Studio. I won this stamp along with some others from her blog and they rock! I like that they are a bigger size and also take ink great. I'm planning to use on more projects so be sure to check back for more stamp stuff!

RAK x 3!!!

I'm apparently getting my lucky sister Steph 's luck. I've won 3 things recently from different blogs and giveaways. A cute Cosmo Cricket gingerbread man set from Lynn Warner, a cool set of acrylic stamps from Apple Blossom Studios and found out yesterday I won some scrap goodies from Kim Hughes to celebrate Scrapbook and Cards Today summer issue. I should return the Random Act of Kindness and do a blog giveaway. Unfortunately I don't think anyone reads this thing! And one of my sisters would end up the winner :-) If I find out I do have some readers look for a giveaway in the future. Thanks everyone!

This helped cheer me up from the fact that we are having some house hunting issues...errr....
