Terrific Tuesday Challenge - Let's Support Our Troops

Hi, everyone!  This week Scrappy Moms Stamps Terrific Tuesday Challenge is to create a card (or cards) to sent to the troops that our away from home this holiday season.  Here is my project...

This cute little wreath is from Miss Kate's Cuttables - I made the bow bigger and move it to the bottom of the wreath so that my sentiment would not be covered by the tails of the bow.  I used a Darice Wire Fence embossing folder for the background and a sentiment from our A Holiday to Remember stamp set.  

I hope you will come join us in support of our service men and women - and for a chance to win a SMS set of your choice.  Just link up your project here.  Here are the website of the two organizations we have posted about on the SMS blog...

1 - Holiday Mail for Heroes (Red Cross)

2 - A Million Thanks

Of course, if you have another organization you prefer to you that is fine too.  :)

Have a wonderful week!  

Terrific Tuesday Challenge - It's in the bag!

Happy Tuesday! I hope that everyone is having a very happy holiday season - thank you for taking time to join me today.

My project for this weeks TTC is a little treat for one of my daughter's Christmas gifts. The challenge this week is to use a bag in your project. This one actually stumped me a little bit, so I decided to work backwards and started with the stamp and made the project match it. LOL I used my new Fiskars 1.5" circle punch and 2" scalloped circle punch to make the tag.



I just tucked the bag under the ribbon on the package but you could also punch a couple of holes and tie the ribbon though the bag. I used an Itty Bitty Bag from our Scrappy Moms Stamps store. The sentiment is from our SMS A Holiday to Remember stamp set.

I hope you liked my little bag and I hope Emily does too. :) Come play along with us at the SMS Terrific Tuesday Challenge!

Happy Holidays!

Terrific Tuesday Challenge - Welcome Fall!

Happy Tuesday! Today's TTC is a very special one - our 1st theme/color challenge! The challenge is to creat a fall project that uses brown and teal!


I actually have TWO projects to show you today - mine...


and my oldest daugher, Emily's...


Didn't she do a FABULOUS job?! When I showed her my card she said, "You could also use that stamp with a tree and leaves with PKS on them!". So I said, "Go for it!" She used the tree from Everyday Paper Dolls - cut in to colors for the layers. The leaf is from Create A Critter and she used 5 different PKS face stamps. I'm so proud of how creative she is - I love that she has her tree above the top of the card! I never think to do things like that, I guess I just need her to show me how to think outside the box and do things "against the rules"!! :D

My tree and owl family are from Lettering Delights. I used some extra-mini gems, a touch of stickles on the leaves and some baker's twine to add a little pizzaz. The sentiment is from our new A Holiday to Remember set. :)

I hope you enjoyed our two takes on the Welcome Fall TTC, please come and play along with us!

Happy Fall, Y'all!

SMS Sneak #2 - Have Yourself a Cozy Little Christmas!

I hope you all are having a wonderful weekend! I have a project using our new Scrappy Moms Stamps A Holiday to Remember set...


I made the fireplace by converting a coloring page and the chair by using a page out of a furnature owner's manual into SVG files. LOL Yes, I did say a furnature owner's manual! It was the only image I could find of the back of a chair. :D

I used my Distressed Strips embossing folder by Cuttlebug for the background and a little bit of Stickles on the fire and the stocking caps.

Here is a picture of the full A Holiday to Remember set...


Remember that we are having a FREE SHIPPING special thru 10/16 over on the Scrappy Moms Stamps blog!

Enjoy the rest of your weekend!

Introducing TWO new Scrappy Moms Stamps sets!!

Hello, everyone! I am so happy to share with you two new Scrappy Moms Stamps sets being released today...


This set was created with fall and winter crafting projects!


This is a VERY SPECIAL set for us at Scrappy Moms Stamps! We wanted to create a set to help support those whose lives have been touched by cancer. My mother had both breast and kidney cancer and my husbands mom also has kidney cancer. It is aweful watching someone you love struggle with this disease! We hope to do some small part in the fight against cancer by donating $2 from the sale of each set to a nation cancer research and support organization. (Once we get approval to use their name/logo I will post the info here - but I'm sure you are all familiar this this "society")

My project today used Believe in Miracles...


I made the using MTC to turn clip art into an SVG file. :)

We are also running a FREE SHIPPING special from 10/7 (today) throught 10/16!!

I hope you enjoyed my little project! Please be sure to visit all of the SMS Design Team - including our October Guest Designer, Heather from House Built of Cards - all this week for new projects!
