Fun, fun, FUN!

Good morning and TGIF! 2 more days until 2012... This year sure went by so quickly, I guess time flies when we are having fun. I have 2 cards for you today, using some new release Hero Arts stamps.

Here is my first card. I used the Hero Arts London background, since my mom and I love London, I just have get this, right? The super cute 'heart' stamp is from Hero Arts/Art of the Card Untitled hearts and the sentiment is Guess What clear stamps.

The second card, I went bananas distressing, I used the new TH distressing ink pad in Evergreen Bough. I used the Basic Grey Kissing Booth collection Tapestry Script background, added a dolly, and I just adore the beautiful 'tag' from the Makes you Happy stamp set.

I hope you like it and happy Friday.

Hello!

Hello and happy Tuesday! I hope you are having a great week and also recovering from the holiday and getting ready for the new year. Can't believe it's almost 2012... And since it's so cold in New England, I want to send you a winter hello. I created the background using Spellbinder Impressabilities snowflakes and inked it with iced spruce distressing ink pad. I added the country landscape die cut, the darling image is clear stamp from Simply Betty Stamps called Miss Betty Burton (which colored with Copic markers) and the sentiment is from Amuse.

I hope you like it and have a wicked awesome day!

Merry Christmas!!!

Happy Christmas Day... I wish all of you and your family a very

MERRY CHRISTMAS!

I'll leave you another Christmas card that I made with the adorable Sister Stamps called Shimo-san, are they super cute? The design paper is from Basic Grey nordic holiday, and the sentiment is from AMuse art stamps.

Hope you like it and thanks for stopping by!

Happy Christmas Eve!

Hello and happy Christmas Eve to you. Just want to pop in and wish all of you a wonderful day, hopefully all your Christmas shopping and preparation are all done by now. I'm lucky enough to finish everything and relaxed a little at my craft table... Have to get my fingers inky, right? I love this snowman from the Tim Holtz Sizzix dies. And the background is created by distressing stains and Hero Art background stamp.

Have a wonderful Christmas Eve!

Paper Smooches Sparks Challenge!

Hello and happy Wednesday! How are you? Just a few days before the big day... I want to play along the Paper Smooches Sparks Challenge.

Check out the inspiration... so so cute!

So, I was inspired by the Christmas theme and of course the Christmas colors. I used the word JOY from the Word Salad set.

Hope you like it and have a fabulous day!

Get ready for Xmas!

Hello hello and how are you? Are you ready for the holidays? I finally started Xmas shopping last week... thank goodness that I don't have to shop for lots of family and friends... which makes it much easier. And since everyone is busy shopping and get ready for the Xmas, how about something christmas-y (is it even a word???).

Check out this cutie pie from Sister Stamps, she is called Yuki. So adorable! The card base is from Memory Box, I added some pretty Japanese paper (which I picked up while visiting San Francisco Japan town), she is colored with Copic Markers and the sentiment is from Amuse called laughter and cheers.

I hope you like this and have a great day!

Happy Birthday Elizabeth!

Something vintage...

Good morning and TGIF! I hope you are up for something vintage... Did you see the new 2012 Hero Arts release? They are full of super cute and wonderful stamps and other goodies. I'm totally in love with this Hero Arts Painted People Background stamp, it's totally cool! I love it.

For the card, I stamped the image twice, once for the background and the second one, I popped the main image which I embossed and distressed with distressed ink (scattered straw, faded jeans and festive berry). I also added a film strip, vintage ticket (from Stampers Anonymous) and a clip. Hope you like it!

Two CAS cards!

Howdy, how are you? I hope you are enjoying your week, for some weird reason.... I was thinking today is Friday, haha!! Anyways, I have 2 simple cards for you today. I just can't get enough of these adorable stamps from Paper Smooches...

Remember the Charlie Brown's tree? The tree and ornament is from the Gently Seasoned set and the sentiment is from Word Salad set.

And I love love love this little cow from the Chubby Chums set!!!

Hope you like them and thanks for stopping by!

12 days of Christmas tag - Day 2

Howdy and TGIF! I continue to be brave and play along day 2 of the Tim Holtz 12 days of Christmas tags. Unfortunately, today... I don't have much of the necessary materials. So, I gone bananas looking for what I owe and make the best of it. I used the deer from the Cricut winter woodland cartridge, instead of Xmas paper... I used the regular ones. The jute around the deer's neck was replaced by a ribbon, etc, etc... But I'm happy!

Hope you enjoy it too.... well, let's see tomorrow! Hehe!

First try of playing along... 12 tags of Christmas

Hi hi, if you are a Tim Holtz's fan... you know, his creations are absolutely amazing!!! And every year, he does the '12 days of christmas' tags. And yesterday was day 1 for the 2011 collection. I never done this before, but one of my good friend Tracey did, her tags were stunning. I was drooling over them. So, this year... when I saw tag 1, I decided to give it a try. I didn't have everything, I substituted the 'Noel' with the winter wonderland from Cricut winter woodland cartridge. And a few other things... But here is my version of it.

Hope you like it. Click HERE to see the amazing Tim Holtz in action!

Want a COOKIE?!

Howdy! Would you like a cookie? Haha! Earlier I saw these super cool chocolate drizzle star cookies from Trader Joe, I figured it would be fun and to create a fun, quick, and yummy mini treat for my friends at work. And VIOLA!

I cut out these tags from the Cricut expression, I used the Sweet Treat cartridge. And for the stamp, I got this adorable 12 days of Christmas set from Penny Black, too too cute!
