Who is: Teresa Kline who said: this is a sweet card, I luv this darlin image...soooo fun! so glad you played along with Simon Says Stamp Wednesday Challenge! sparkle & shine *~*

Congratulations Teresa! Please email: lovesrubberstamps@yahoo.com by April 11th to claim your prize.

Before I show you my project for today I wanted to let you know that we will be posting a DESIGN TEAM CALL for our Design Team term that starts May 1st and runs through August 30th. We will have the details and how to try out for the team on our Tuesday April 7th Challenge. You do not need prior design team experience to apply. We would love to have you try out! 

Today I wanted to create a scenery style card. I love sponging sky backgrounds and making outdoors scenes for my cards and I don't do it as often as I would like. Today my card was inspired by the outdoor scenes that Delphine creates. I have always admired her little outdoor scenes that she creates and I really love how she does her grass area to give the scene depth. So I read through a few of her tutorials and tried a scene of my own :) 

 

I don't think it turned out too shabby for the first time I tried this style. I really like how my grass area turned out...I tried something different with the sky and clouds and I am not sure I am really loving that part...but it may still grow on me - LOL! 

I didn't have any of the colors that Delphine uses in her tutorial so I had to use a mix of my copics and spectrum noir markers for the scene. I was pretty irritated because many of my spectrum noir markers were dried out! Some I had never even used yet and I am not happy about that! I have always kept them in a cool environment with no temperature extremes so I don't know why they are dry. So I was even more limited on my color choices because I had to find markers that worked! GRRRR! 

For my clouds I am awful at drawing the cloud shapes so I decided to use the cute cloud image in Paper Smooches Forest Whimsy set by stamping just the tops with Memento London Fog ink. It was darker than I wanted it to be so I ended up swirling my white gel pen over it and then blending that with my finger to try and tone it down. I also added clear wink of stella over my clouds for some shimmer. I want to try and find a really pale light gray ink to try this again because I don't want it to be as noticible, but I do love the cloud shapes in this stamp set. 

My sentiment panel is created using papers from the Prima Optimist paper pack which I will be listing in the store soon. 

Here is a closer look at my scene...

That sweet little girl is the Blush Babette image from The Greeting Farm. I really love the images from this collection. 

Thanks for stopping by today and don't forget to mark your calendars to check out our Design team call on Tuesday!

Hello and Welcome to the Sensational Sunday Blog Hop!

Hope you all are having a great holiday weekend so far! I work this entire weekend on my 6 day rotation. I will have one day off on Thursday and then switch to dayshift for one glorious month! I am super excited! I just feel like I have a lot more time and energy to get things accomplished on a dayshift schedule. I have had some major insomnia the last 2 days, only sleeping about 3 - 4 hours. I am hoping I will be able to crash and get caught up on some zzzz's when I get off this morning at 7am. Wish me luck :)

Now onto why you are here....we need to draw the next name of who will be in our May Gift Voucher Drawing!

Love You Dearly

Hi Stampers!

Hope are all having a great week so far! Mine has been better. I was feeling pretty cruddy yesterday with stomach issues. I am feeling a bit better today so that is good.

Today we have a lovely change of pace from Halloween projects for you from Ceal.

This would be a cute project for many different occasions! Ceal used the Paper Smooches Pretty Phrases stamp set. We will be adding many new Paper Smooches sets hopefully soon! Ceal paired this with the Impression Obsession Paper Cone Die. I will also be adding many Impression Obsession Stamps and their dies as preorders as well. I think this little bouquet of hearts is so sweet!

Thanks so much for stopping by today! If you have any crafting time this week...be sure to play along in our Anything Goes Challenge!

Have a great day!
Laura

My Peeps!

Hi Stampers!

Sorry for the late post today..now this morning! I am really off my schedule today! I have a super cute card to share with you from Ceal using some adorable Paper Smooches stamps!

I think it is super cute! This card uses the Paper Smooches Stamp set called My Peeps, which we will have in the store very soon :) Ceal colored the little bird with Copic Sketch Markers. I love the embossing that Ceal did and the pop of teal with the white! That little cloud is adorable too!

Love it! I always enjoy seeing Ceal's CAS designs because these types of cards are always so hard for me :) Thanks for stopping by today!

Hi Stampers!

Sorry for being late today! We have had a crazy few days around here ;(  We found out Thursday that Grandma's cancer may have started in her right leg - in the femur area because she has been having a lot of pain where she can not walk on it. They rushed tests on Friday to check her leg and brain. Her brain was clear but there was an abnormality in her leg. She has to go Monday for more scans so they can see if it is a fracture or if it is the cancer. Fingers crossed she just broke her leg!

Then this weekend has been the annual Veisha Weekend festivities so work was insane all weekend!! Great thing it is still Winter here because I think we would have had a riot Friday night (had 2 cars flipped at bar close and arrested 23 people) if the weather was warm and then last night had to life flight two college kids for falling and striking their heads so hard they had brain bleeds. Crazy stuff!!

So I have not had a chance to do anything besides worry, work and sleep! I am glad the weekend is over and life can get back to a little more normal. Now just hoping Grandma's tests come back ok! I think I have rambled on enough so onto the fun stuff!

Before we get to today's hop... we have to announce last week's candy winner!

The card I am sharing for the hop today is Ceal's Inspirational card that should have been posted on Thursday! With everything going on here I didn't get it up...but it is adorable and cute so I still wanted to share it! So I thought what better way then to kick off today's hop!

Isn't this CUTE? Plus since it is still Winter feeling here...(we had snow on Thursday!) this is perfect :) Ceal used the cutest snowman stamps from Paper Smooches called Swanky Snowdudes - which - I think the name is just as cute as the stamps :) She used Tim Holtz Distress Inks and Copic Sketch Markers. I think her background is so neat! LOVE it!

Celebrate Today!

Hi Friends and Stampers,

This is Holly, I am subbing for Laura today who got called into work.  So I am not sure she will be celebrating today, but she might be celebrating her days off coming up, lol.  I'm sure she will be ready for them. 

What are you Celebrating today?  I'm home with my youngest who has the flu, and I am celebrating that I am the luckiest Mom ever!  He is really quite good about it all and even though most laughs end in a spurt of coughing spells, he continues to play on his Ipad, laughing and not letting the fact that he feels miserable ruin his day.   Wow, I could learn a lot from him, lol.

Today is Ceal's Inspiration Thursday and she is Celebrating some one's 60th birthday.  Let's hop on over to her blog and find out who :)

The colors are fabulous!  I love the White, Black, Turquoise and Red together.  It really pops off the Kraft colored background.  I love her card design, hexagon's are all the rage right now and the patters and textures are perfect together.  She has kept with this weeks Challenge Theme of Have A Heart.  Love the little hearts within the heart shapes on the middle hexagon.    She is using a Paper Smooches stamp set, Bo Bunny 6X6 paper pad and By the number die-namics by My Favorite Things. 

Make sure you check back to the NEW ITEMS listed in the store, Laura has been adding quite a few things.  And I know you want to check it  this weekend.   Laura is planning on adding more items!!!  I am so over the top excited about what she is adding .... you might say I'm about ready to Celebrate!  Okay, bad pun.  lol. 

And on that note, I will thank you for stopping by and hope you have something wonderful to Celebrate soon!

I hope you enjoyed today's blast of inspiration! I apologize again for the late posting! I also apologize that I couldn't do the links.

Hi Stampers!

Welcome to our Sensational Sunday Inspirations post!

Hope you are all had a safe and fun New Year! We spent ours at home playing silly games with the kids and had a total blast :)  There is no where I would rather spend New Year's then home with family.

Earlier this week we did receive some sad news. We unfortunately have to say good-bye to Design team member Kelli Hull. She had some schedule changes coming up that didn't allow her enough crafty time to stay on the team. We will miss her but I know we will see her around in blog land and of course on splitcoaststampers since she is now a Dirty Girl! YAY Kelli!! We wish Kelli all the best with all that she does and want to say THANK YOU SO MUCH for all the inspiration, laughs and good times :)

Now on to today's blast of inspiration from our talented Design Team! Here we go....

Shanna Shands

Whimsy Stamps - Wee Stamps Collection - Heidi

Echo Park Designer Paper

Shanna used one of my favorite color combinations for winter cards on this super cute card! I love the deep rich reds, and the soft blue combination! Shanna always amazes me with her gorgeous coloring and this is no exception! I love everything about this...the bling, those gorgeous flowers, the sparkle snowflakes, and the lay out! Such a beautiful design!

Dangina Martinez

C.C. Designs - Swiss Pixies Collection - Cow & Pig

Memento - Tuxedo Black

My Favorite Things Die-Namics - Grass Die

Ok, now seriously...who would want to read a book just to open it up to see this out-of-this-world adorable bookmark? EVERYONE!!! This is so super cute! Dangina also has mad coloring skills that I adore! I love the paper piecing on the dress and check out that little bird paper in the background too! This is such a cute little scene! ♥ ♥ ♥ it!

Athina Emory

Stamping Bella - Mo Manning Collection - Painter Meg

Memento - Tuxedo Black Ink

My Mind's Eye Lost & Found Collection

This is absolutely gorgeous! Athina created this gorgeous book called a  Multi Pocket Envelope Album. This is chock full of gorgeous pockets and beautiful tags!

You definitely need to visit Athina's Blog to see the rest of these gorgeous pages and she also provides a link to where she got the tutorial on making one of these! What a beautiful keepsake!

Tim Holtz Distress Ink - Frayed Burlap

Memento Ink - Tuxedo Black

Best Glue Ever!

Marcy created this super sweet altered box to hold some yummy Valentine's Day treats! What an adorable way to give some extra sweetness with your Valentine's Day Gift! I love the girly trims and all the details that Marcy added to this little wooden box. The coloring on this image is so pretty too! What an adorable treasure for some lucky little lady!

Lydia Walker

Paper Smooches - Happy Camper

Now I just have to say that Lydia is a pure genius with this project! She created a sweet little gift that doubles as a gorgeous embellishment for her card! Yep Yep - Pure genius!! The first picture shows that gorgeous flower doing it's job...embellishing that cute cute card. In the second picture you will notice the flower removed and the card is STILL super adorable! Then the last picture shows the gorgeous flower on it's own...but the genius part is that this is a handmade hair clip that Lydia made!! It accents the card perfectly and then you just unclip it, stick it in your hair, and off you go all stylin'! See...pure genius!!

Wow! Wow! And TRIPLE WOW! The ladies really rocked the inspiration out today! I am so amazed at the talent and the gorgeous-ness that these ladies produce each and every week! I literally squeal with excitement everytime I see their projects for the first time - LOL! Makes everyday like Christmas :)

I hope you enjoyed today's inspiration from the team! Be sure to leave them some love and you will automatically be entered into the drawing for this week's blog candy :)
