Scrappy Moms Stamps - Guest Designer

Hi Everyone!

Today I have the honor of being a guest designer for the Scrappy Moms Stamps newest release. Thank you so much SMS for having me! Boy, did I get lucky...these are two VERY cute sets.

The first set is called monster mania, oh my gosh...sooo much FUN! You'll see lots of inspiring projects over the next week from the DT and me :)  This set can be used for a monster themed birthday, Halloween, Valentines Day.... it is such a GREAT set!! 

The next set is called Ticket to Adventure. It is AWESOME! It is absolutely perfect for scrapbooking your adventures! I LOVE it!!

Today I used the Monster Mania Set and for my first project I created a Birthday card.

EYE (hee-hee) just LOVE the fun sentiments on this release. I wanted to create a fun little monster but still keep him kind of cute :) I picked one from the Mini monsters Cricut Cartridge and inked up a cute face. I created a fun little banner for my little monster to hold and added some stars and stitching.

Please stop by the Scrappy Moms Stamps blog to see what the fabulous DT has in store for you and check back with me as I will have a few more projects using both sets :)

Oh my gosh how FUN is this challenge :) My favorite color is pink... all shades of pink and at the moment I'm having a coral/salmon color obsession. Well it kind of started last summer with a dress I bought, then a swim suit, then shorts, then sandals..... get the 
idea :) Obsessed!

Here's the happy little card I created

I started with the CDD - Summer Lovin stamp set and the Sunshine Smiles sentiment

The paper is from American crafts (I love this ombre paper) & Kraft Cardstock which actually is another favorite color of mine :) 

I cut the sun from Create a Critter & finished it off with a cute little face from Peachy Keen stamps PK-460 Happy Lashes.

Die Cuttin Divas - Black plus one other color

Hi Everyone!
Happy Tuesday! It's time for another Die Cuttin Divas Challenge. Today's theme is make a project using Black plus one other color.  So does that kind of freak you out? I actually LOVED this challenge - because it did just that...It challenged me :) So here's what I came up with.

I think it's so difficult to make a card when we lose someone, not sure about you but I really don't feel creative. So it certainly isn't that card we like to make but it is easier to make them when you don't need them, and why not make it pretty too :)

Craftin Desert Divas "Picture That" Set

Hi Everyone!
It's my day to share a card over at Craftin Desert Divas. Today's card is inspired from the newest release "Picture That". I just LOVE this set, super popular right now and perfect for cards or scrap booking. Last week during the release I showcased the sentiment "Happy Day" HERE & the fabulous picture frame HERE. Today I'm showcasing "Always".

I made a card for my baby :) I used my gypsy for this project, but all you need to do is die cut your letters or even use up some of those old font stickers... mix and match styles and sizes. If your familiar with using the Gypsy just use the weld button on each letter and you should be able to cut your image in one piece.

I layered the words to give the project dimension. I just added pop dots in between the layers. Okay I have a question...... Why don't they make pop dots in different colors??? Or do they?? I don't like to see the white dots peeking through when I use dark paper, so I always color the outside of the dot with marker. hmmm, my thought for the day - HAHA

Pretty simple project, the hardest part was selecting my color scheme.  I just couldn't pick the right combo :) In the end I love the pink, white & black.

As always with CDD stamps - crystal clear image. No need to press hard, crisp and clear every time!

Stop by Craftin Desert Diva's Shop to purchase the newest release and don't forget to join the
