    Poppin In

    When I saw the sketch from CAS colors and sketches, I knew what stamp set I wanted to use. I thought the Windowsill Woodlands from Unity would work well. What do you think?

    The paper and hello die are from Echo Park. I mounted the animals on foam squares.

    The stamp set is on sale right now so be sure to grab it!

    Now here’s the sketch:

  • You Are My Sunshine

    You Are My Sunshine

    There’s another weather challenge and this one is from Simon Says. Of course I thought of Echo Park Paper again and this time I used the You Are My Sunshine collection.

    So many fun bright papers in this set. I adhered the stickers to scrap paper so I could mount on foam squares. The Hello Die is also from Echo Park

    I used one of my sketches, which you can find here

    I’m playing along with no

  • Here Comes the Sun

    Here Comes the Sun

    The Addicted to CAS challenge is weather and I thought of the Silly Goose collection by Carta Bella, so many sweet images!

    I fussy cut the goose sentiment and sun all from one of the 3X4 cards in the paper pack. The Smile was from another card. The goose and sun are mounted on foam squares for dimension. The paper strip at the bottom was a scrap that was ripped already, I just cut it to the right size. It is such pretty paper.

  • A Warm Cup of Tea

    A Warm Cup of Tea

    The new Inspired By challenge is up and of course being a tea drinker, I had to go with the theme. I dug out my very old Papertrey Ink Stamp as I thought it was perfect for this (do you have this stamp set?) and I paired it with the Mom’s Kitchen collection from Echo Park. I used my scallop punch to make the flowered paper look like a table cloth. I mounted the tea pots on foam squares and topped off with some old Papertrey Ink buttons.

    Would love for you to come play along with us and there’s a new group on Facebook called Craft your Stash – a place to encourage you to use some of your old/uninked/ neglected… anything

  • My Kind of Weird

    My Kind of Weird

    When I first saw this new Unity stamp Little Weirdo I absolutely loved it! I think there’s so many ways you could use this, (I have another idea I am going to try today) he’s just so fun and cute don’t you think?

    I have paired it with the You Are My Sunshine kit from Echo Park – love how bright and happy this kit is. I added Liquid Glass to his eyes for some added detail and fun (I miss CTMH – what do you use now instead of liquid glass?) Of course, I had to add the Thinking Out Loud speech bubble because it works so well with this. I got the Just Sayin’ from Simon Says.
