School Bus

Hello Friends and Stampers,

It's my turn to post today.  I wanted to make a thank you card for Reed's teacher this year and so I came up with this.

MFT BB Class Act

MFT Die-Namic Rectangle Frames

MFT Die-Namic Sentiment Strip Dies

Copic Markers

Copic X-Press It Paper

I love all the Birdie Brown Images, each one in the sets are adorable.  I thought this School Bus paper would be perfect but now it does kinda look like a little much, lol.  

So did you watch the Super Bowl?  Wow, what a close game and both teams just played their hearts out.  I enjoyed it after a two week withdrawl from football, lol.   Now I have to go til August again, lol.   But it's fun and it's probably a good thing I have a few months off to get some stuff done around here, lol.  

Laura is adding some exciting New Items to the store, so you will want to hop over and take a look.  and you still have a few hours left to play in our Pink and Girly Challenge. 

Thanks for looking in on me.

If you get lost along the way, each stop will have a full list of links. One of the Design Team posts is the hop's Sensational Sunday Sweet Spot and a name will be drawn from that list of comments to be in a monthly drawing for a $20 Loves Rubberstamps Gift Voucher! We will draw the winner of the Voucher the 1st Sunday of each month from all the comments left on the design team blogs! Remember, you have until 8:00 pm CST Saturday to leave your comments!

Hope you are all having a great weekend so far! I have a busy weekend planned of packing orders and trying to get through organizing, listing in the store and putting away of lots of new goodies that arrived this week :) My living room at the moment looks like a moving truck unloaded! One AWESOME and LONG AWAITED package from Taiwan arrived.... our Wild Orchid Crafts order we have been  W-A-I-T-I-N-G and W-A-I-T-I-N-G - Whoo hoo! I know the ladies waiting patiently for those will be super excited! You will want to keep checking the New Listings in the store...I have lots of new things coming :) 

This is a great weekend to not have to work...we are getting snow as I type this up. We are in the 8" of snow range that we are supposed to get tonight. So far we have gotten probably 5" at least. Then tomorrow the winds are supposed to start of course. It rained a TIN before the snow so there is a heavy layer of slush under the snow making it cruddy to drive. Good weekend for me to work on packing and going through stock :)

For today's project I wanted to share a blast from the past from one of our former Design Team Members... Athina! I have been searching and looking for loads of organizational ideas since I am starting to move into my craft studio and I came across this really cute file folder style organizer that she had made for her coupons. You could really adapt this awesome project for anything that you would like to keep track of. I would like to make one for my craft room projects. It would be a great place to store lists, ideas, and "to do" lists! 

Athina had created this project for our "Resolutions" Challenge and her resolution was to get more organized. I love it and like I mentioned you could make and use these for so many things!

Here are the items Athina used on her project:

Make It Crafty - Zoe Celebrates

Tuxedo Black - Memento Ink

Copics

Tim Holtz Distress Ink - Brushed Curduroy

Inkessentials - Blending Tool

And here is a close up of Athina's awesome coloring skills...

Now let's hop along and see what the Design Team ladies have in store for you...

Love You!

Happy Saturday Friends! It's Marcy with a card share for you all today!  I hope you're all having a fantastic weekend!

Here is my card...

 Today, I have created a fun Valentine's card using the adorable Pure Innocence image called "Love You with All My Heart" by My Favorite things.  It's been a while since I've used one of these darling images and I had so much fun creating with this cutie! I colored her up with my copic markers and then paper pieced her dress and the heart she is is holding.  I also added some Wink of Stella to her shoes and her hair clip.  The fun papers I used are from Doodlebug Design called "Sweetheart".  These papers are definitely one of my favorite collections for V-Day and I just love them!  I created a cute heart border on the bottom using my  Martha Stewart heart punch border.  Now for the sentiment "Love You", this was created using the My Favorite Things new DIE-NAMICS set called Love & Adore You Die Set.  I  think it's such a fun and different look to use die cuts for sentiments rather than just stamping them which I tend to do.  To finish off my card, I added some scattered sequins and a pink heart button from my stash with some rope twine tied in a bow

Here is the full supply list for my card:

Love You With All My Heart - Pure Innocence Collection; My Favorite Things

Friends are Flowers - Tiddly Inks

DIE-NAMICS Love and Adore You Die Set - My Favorite Things

Sweetheart - Doodlebug Design

Spun Sugar - Tim Holtz distress ink

Heart Border Punch - Martha Stewart

Copic Markers

Black Tuxedo - Memento Ink

Multi Multi Liquid Glue - Tombow

Make sure to check out the Loves Rubberstamps store for all of the awesome stamps and Die-Namics by My Favorite Things which have just been recently added!

Hope you all enjoyed my V-Day card and have a wonderful weekend!

Hugs,

Marcy

I'm on a bit of a count down for Super Bowl Sunday.  This has been a bit of football withdrawl for me, but nothing compared to waiting for foot ball season again, lol.   It will be good for me not to be tied up in 3+ hour games, lol.   Plus I will have more time to spend on other things, like my New Years Resolutions.  Yeah, how are those coming for you?  I'm doing okay, 24/30 days done on my 30 min for 30 days challenge.   But about that scrap page layout each month, lol.  I still have time!!! lol.  

Anyway, I hope you have been inspired to create something fabulous and I hope to see you for tomorrow's challenge as well....

Thanks for popping in, 

Holly

Hope you are all having a great weekend so far! I haven't felt very well this week so I have been doing a lot of resting. I am hoping that sometime this week I will be able to take a few pictures of my stamping studio to share how that is coming along. I am in the very early stages of starting to move stuff in it and organize. I have a lot of ideas but not sure exactly how I want to do things yet. I guess a craft room is like a never ending project and trying things and seeing how it works for you. 

For today's project I wanted to share Lydia's super cute CAS card that she created for this week's Loves Rubberstamps Challenge of using things with the Letter "B". 

I thought this was such a cute idea to paper piece patterned papers for these cute little bunnies. Really gives it a vintage, shabby look with these colors and the pattern and makes them pop! Such a sweet design that would make a quick card when your short on crafty time!

Here are the products used on Lydia's card...

Lawn Fawn- Hello Baby

Copic Markers

Lawn Fawn- Stitched Party Banners

Love You Always!

Hello Friends and Happy Saturday!  It's Marcy here and I have a fun Valentine's Day card to share with you all for today's Inspiration Day!

Here is my card...

So my inspiration came from a card by Kristina Werner in which she made a background by water coloring with distress inks.  You can find her beautiful card here!  I just have so much fun water coloring and am loving all the great techniques I'm seeing out there.   I took some Tim Holtz water color paper (Oh no, my last piece!) and then added lots of water and some fun Tim Holtz distress inks in shades of pinks and purples.  And voila... a fun and pretty cool looking background!!!  The adorable image on my card is by Tiddly Inks called Friends are Flowers.  I had so much fun coloring up cute Wryn with my Copics.  I also added some polka dots to her dress with my white gel pen and then Wink of Stella all over her outfit  and heart flowers.  The sentiment was stamped onto my paper using Versamark Ink and then embossed with some white embossing powder from my stash.  Of course, I couldn't resist scattering some sequins all over my card!

Here is the full supply list for my card:

Friends are Flowers - Tiddly Inks

Seedless Preserves - Tim Holtz distress ink

Picked Raspberry - Tim Holtz distress ink

Spun Sugar - Tim Holtz distress ink

Shaded Lilac - Tim Holtz distress ink

Water Color paper - Tim Holtz

Versamark Watermark Stamp Pad - Tsukineko

Copic Markers

Black Tuxedo - Memento Ink

Multi Multi Liquid Glue - Tombow

Hope my card gives you some inspiration to try some water coloring and playing with distress inks!

Enjoy your weekend and thanks so much for stopping by!

Hugs,

Marcy
