Sensational Sunday Inspirations + CANDY

Hi Stampers - 

I have been making slow but steady progress on getting orders shipped out. Grandma was able to come home a week ago Friday. This week has been full of Dr. Appts (she is having to get some platelet transfusions) she also had physical therapy twice. She is continuing to do well so far so that is great.

I should be very close to completely caught up with things by the end of the week :) I am so sorry that it is taking so long but I am going as quickly as I can! Thank you for the continued thoughts, prayers and patience with this situation with Grandma! It means the world to us!

Hope you are all having a great weekend so far! I was not feeling well the last few days with my colitis. I went back to the DR on Wednesday and had all my dosages upped on my meds again. Hopefully this time will help get it back to remission. I am ready for that! I go back to the DR Feb 2nd pending no new infections or issues. Fingers crossed things get better! I did make some progress getting orders shipped but still have some to go before being fully caught back up. Thank you for your continued patience! I know it is frustrating when you want your goodies and I am really sorry about that!

Today I would like to share with you a blast from the past from Dangina...

I love when Dangina uses the adorable Whimsy Wee Stamps on her cards! Her coloring is so pretty! I love this one because you can do this in so many color schemes for many occasions. This one has a Christmas feel with the plaid and poinsettias. Very beautiful!

Here are the items Dangina used on her project:

Whimsy Stamps - Wee Stamps Collection - Iris 

Memento- Tuxedo Black Ink Pad

Copic Ciao Markers 

Tombow Mono Multi Liquid Glue 

Red Liner Tape

Love You Sloooooow Much!

Good Morning Stampers!

I finally had enough of my no crafting streak and took time yesterday to make a card! This is the first thing I have made since the beginning of April so go easy on me - LOL! I forgot how relaxing it is to just sit and color and craft. I sure have missed it!

My daughter's birthday is coming up on October 24th so I wanted to make her a birthday card. I decided to go all out and figured since I have not made anything for so long and haven't touched a copic marker since April...what the heck...I will try something I have never done and just go for it. So I colored my image in the NO LINES technique!! I don't think it turned out to horrible for my first time but I still need lots of practice :)

I used the super adorable image from the Whimsy Wee Stamps Collection called Love You Slow Much. I love this one and hadn't inked it up yet. That snail is tooooo CUTE!! The scrabble tile looking letters are from Whimsy Stamps also and are called Spell It Out. These will be listed in the store soon!

Here are some close ups of my image...

I really LOVE how my little snail turned out :) I am not too sure about my fairy, I think her hair could be better. I think I tried too hard to not get the "banding" in her hair so my flicks were fatter than I wanted. Like I said I still need to practice :)

I also finished the inside too...

I used two different Tiddly Inks stamp sets to create the inside - the verse sentiment and hearts are from the stamp set called My I Love You and the Happy Birthday sentiment is from the stamp set called Ellie Says Happy Birthday. 

I used warm colors for my card this week since that is our Loves Rubberstamps Challenge to use Warm Colors on your card. So we hope you play along with us! We have some great sponsor prizes!

I also used this week's sketch from Sketch Saturday Challenge for my layout...

Thank you so much for stopping by today! I hope now that I broke my no-crafting streak I will get back in the swing of making things on a regular basis again :)

Big Crafty Hugs!
Laura

Sensational Sunday Inspirations

Hello and Welcome to the Sensational Sunday Blog Hop!

Hope you all are having a great weekend so far! I have been busy getting caught up on shipping orders this last week! We can't thank you enough for all your patience as these last few months have been a struggle for us with all the trials and losses we faced. Things are starting to look up and we hope they stay that way for awhile :)

Saturday nights for our family is RACE NIGHT from April - September. Tonight my husband WON his feature - Whoo hoo!! It was a great race! Here is a picture of Tim with our nephew Jayden holding Uncle Tim's Trophy :) That is Tim's Mom holding the checkered flag.

My husband races the Pink Heals Tour Race Car and we named our car after a sweet little girl named Emily Koesters. Emily suffers from a rare form of dwarfism. She has fought cancer and beat it and has had a kidney transplant. She has had numerous surgeries and even after going through all of these things she has the most amazing attitude and is such a sweetheart.

We had a special die cast car made of the race car and we sent it to her. Here is Emily holding her car...

You can read more about Emily's story on her Facebook Page - Help Emily Koesters 


This is a youtube video that Emily's Mom Erin made in 2011 that shares some of her story as well.

You can also help support the Pink Heals Tour or find more information on the tours and where they are going to be at www.pinkfiretrucks.org

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

Marcy's Saturday Inspiration: A "Fall Love" Valentine's Day Card!

Hi Friends and Happy Saturday!  Hope you all had a wonderful Valentine's Day yesterday with your loved ones.  I know many of you are continuing this "Sweetheart" celebration this long holiday weekend!  I know I am! :)  So with that in mine, I have a V-Day card to share with you today.

Here it is...

This sweet image is called "Fall Love" which is from the Time for Tea Collection by Whimsey Stamps!  The cute gal could really be used for any occasion but the heart on her outfit made me immediately want to use her for a V-Day card!  After coloring her up with my copic markers, I added some stickles in "Start Dust" to the heart on her pretty sweater.  For my papers, I used the fun "Love Note" collection by Fancy Pants which was perfect for this theme!  The pretty roses are from Wild Orchid Crafts.   I can never get enough of using these gorgeous flowers on my projects!  The heart doily peeking out from behind my image as well as the small pearls on the corners are from my stash.

Here are the Supplies Used:

Fall Love - Whimsey Stamps

Love Note - Fancy Pants Designs

Victorian Velvet - Tim Holtz Distress Ink

Black Tuxedo-Memento Ink

Copic Markers

Roses - Wild Orchid Crafts

Mono Multi Liquid Glue - Tombow

Oh and I wanted to also share a few more gift bags and also some gift favors I made for Valentine's Day using the We R Memory Keeper Punch boards!  These are so addicting and so easy to make!   I just really love how you don't need to add much since the patterned papers are already so pretty as is!  With these, I just added some die-cuts, some ribbon and voila... instant gifts! :)

Be sure to stop by the Loves Rubberstamps store to see the items used on my card including so many  cute Whimsey stamps to choose from as well as these very popular We R Memory Keeper Punch Boards! 

Also, make sure to stop by tomorrow for the "Sensational Sunday" blog hop where you can win some fun prizes!  You can also check out our "Paper Piecing" challenge still going on!

Have a wonderful Valentines and holiday weekend!

Hugs

Marcy
