Terrific Tuesday Challenge - Mini Monsters!

It's Tuesday and time for another Terrific Tuesday Challenge! This time around the cartrigde is Mini Monsters. I LOVE Mini Monster, it's one of my very favorite ones so I was super excited about this TTC!


Both the spider web and spider are from MM. I stretched the web so it would fit the rectangle instead of being square. That messed with the thickness of the stands a little but I still like the effect. :)

I used white embossing powder for my sentiment, which is from our new SMS Bewitched set.


Thank you for taking a peek at my litte project - be sure to link your Mini Monsters project on the SMS blog for a chance to win a Scrappy Moms Stamps set of your choice! Remember, you can use a similar cut if you don't have Mini Monsters. :)

Finally ... another Bewitched sneak peek! :)

Happy Tuesday! (or Weds since it's almost 11:00 Pacific and most of you won't read this until the morning. LOL) Actually, I have TWO projects to show you today...




The little bucket is from Joanns in the $1 section and I filled it with candies and a bubble wand from Target (I love those bubble - I highly recommend them!) The stamp is heat embossed so I could use a black paper. :)

The candy cane bag I found at the grocery store, of all places! I actually have candy corn in it so it would stay in a candy corn shape it it would be just as cute with other candies in it.

Here is the full Bewitched set -



I hope you enjoyed my projects today!

Scrappy Moms Stamps Halloween Hop!

Spooky Saturday to everyone!

Thank you for joining us on the Scrappy Moms Stamps Halloween Hop! I don't know about you but Halloween is one of my favorite holidays! The kids and I always pick out costumes as soon as they hit the shelves and the candy wait patiently around out house for several weeks for Trick or Treaters to come. :)

For this Halloween I decided to try to make a banner. I learned a few lessons on the way...one being - if you are going to use a rosette, cut a shape or circle to go directly top of it before you add your letter. I didn't and... well, you'll see!


LOL It's not horrible but I wish I would have added solid colored circles beneath my "BOO". Here are some close-ups of the individual letters...





I used Birthday Bash for the banner, Happy Hauntings for the font and the witches hat, the spider is from Doodlecharms, and the bat is from Paper Doll Dress Up. I use 3 stamps from our brand new Halloween set Bewitched -


All in all, I had fun making this project - it was a little time consuming but it turned out pretty well. Oh, and did you notice all my cute costume rubber duckies? I found them at Michaels for $1 a pair!! :D

I hope you found my project frightfully enjoyable! Your next stop on the hop is the FANG-TASTIC Lauren from Lauren's Creative! (Be sure to leave a comment on each stop for a chance to win a Scrappy Moms Stamps set of your choice!)

Terrific Tuesday Challenge - Country Life!

Howdy, howdy! Thank you so much for joining me for my Terrific Tuesday Challenge project today! This weeks cart is County Life....


I used Lacy Labels for the base and the stamp is from SMS Spring Fling set.

Boy, this card was lots of work. I had it all planned out on my Gypsy but did NOT do a good job of space planning! LOL I didn't have enough space for my stamp, so I tried to make it a 2 line stamp and didn't like it. Then I tried (since I had already "ruined" the card) to see if I could stamp it across the sun - yuck! So I wound of pulling off all the layers and cutting them again (well, not the clothesline - that, I managed to salvage). I actually moved all the hill layers up about .5" so that less of the sun shows but I was able to gain more "grass" space at the bottom for my stamp. Oh, what I did to make the bottom grass layer longer is to weld a square onto the bottom. I then had to cut out the shape to match the label once it was glued down. Whew! :)

I hope you enjoyed my little card! Be sure to join us this Friday for 2 new Scrappy Moms Stamps releases and on Saturday for a blog hop! :)

Terrific Tuesday Challenge - Straight from the Nest!

Happy Tuesday everyone! This week's TTC is Straight from the Nest. I made this "quick" card for you today...


The bird and perch are just 2 layers then I added twine, a black gem for his eye, and a tag from Once Upon a Princess (my go-to cart for tags - I love them!). The blue bird is cut from some really fun glitter paper that I just got from Joanns - it cuts really nice and the glitter isn't extreamly loose like some other glitter papers I have used. The best part is that they were on sale for 5 for a $1 - what a deal! :) The sentiment is from our Scrappy Moms Stamps Quirky Quotes set.

I hope you enjoyed my card today - please come and play along with us. I hope that you all have a wonderful week!

Corner Bookmarks - So cute! :)

Happy Friday!!! Here's to hoping everyone has a WONDERFUL weekend!

My project for today is two corner book marks that I made for my oldest daughter and I to share. We both love to read and never seem to have enough bookmarks around. :)


And just look how adorble this little puppy is guarding your page for you!


I made the blackboard and apple SVG file with MTC and the ADORABLE puppy is from the Silhouette store. The sentiments are from our new Scrappy Moms Stamps School Days and Raining Cats and Dogs sets. I found the tutorial for the bookmarks online - you can see it HERE. :)

Thanks for taking the time to visit me today!
