Terrific Tuesday Challenge - Summer Vaction

Hello everyone!! Thank you for stopping by to see my TTC project for this week. Our theme is Summer Vacation...

I decided that summer reminded me of beautiful flowers in bloom so my card also includes 2 flower seed packets. The are an embellishment and little gift! :)

I cut the pocket on MTC and the butterfly is from Everyday Paper Dolls. I duplicated the butterfly and hide the interior lines to get the solid white base. The sentiment is from Scrappy Moms Stamps Sun Kissed set - one of my favorites, by the way. :)

Thank you so much for stopping by today - be sure to take a peek and see what the other members of the SMS Design Team created and come play along.

Terrific Tuesday Challenge - Life's A Beach!

Good Morning! Sorry this is up a little late, my bad! :)

For this weeks Terrific Tuesday Challege I used the cruise ship and wave from Life's a Beach. I REALLY wanted it to be a shape card so I had to play with it alot! LOL


I used a sentiment from our new Scrappy Moms Stamps Sun Kissed set - it's one of my favorites, so I HAD to use it! :)

Hope you enjoyed my little card and that you will come join us for this "beach-y" challenge!

Sun Kissed Sneak #3

Happy Sunday! Today I have my 3rd sneak peek project for you today...


I thought it would be fun to add some "real" texture to my beach by using sandpaper, LOL. It's been ripped and inked to create the dune effect.

The surfboard, hibiscus flower and the flip flops are from Life's a Beach. I use my new favorite Fiskars punch for the clouds. The sun is just a small circle that I cut to fit in the corner. Then I used Star Dust Stickles on the sun and the tops of the clouds. I LOVE my stickles! LOL :)

Here is a picture of the full Sun Kissed set...

Sun Kissed Sneak Peek #2

Welcome back! I hope your weekend is off to a good start! We are headed to my hubby's company picnic today - should be fun!! :)

I have a quick little card for you today. I LOVE my Cricut but have been going crazy over "Woodsies" lately! They carry them in all the craft stors - Michaels, Hobby Lobby and Joanns (where I found this one). They are all so cute I wish I could take them all home with me. The make putting a card together REALLY fast and easy. I knew EXACTLY what I wanted to do with this one when I saw it...


I used this card base for the "My Funny Valentine" card and I fell in love with it so I thought I would pull it up on my Gypsy and re-purpose it here. The base and layers are from Birthday Bash. :)

I was thinking this would be a fun card for Father's Day or even the 4th of July. I hope you all enjoyed it! Be sure to vist the rest of the Scrappy Moms Stamps DT to see what they have created for you - see my side bar for a list. :)

Have a WONDERFUL Saturday!

PS - I added a few more fun "Summer" songs to my playlist at the bottom if you feel in the mode to listen to some more! :)

Introducing Scrappy Moms Stamps new set - SUN KISSED

Happy Friday! Are you going to be out and about enjoying the soon-to-be summer weather this weekend? I know I am - before it hits 100 degrees here is sunny Arizona! :)

In honor of the change of seasons and the school year ending I decided to use our new Sun Kissed stamp set by Scrappy Moms Stamps to make baskets for my kiddos. Here is the one for my almost 3 yr old son and my oldest daughter. (I haven't gotten a book for my Kindergartener yet - bad mommy! LOL)



I cut the sun from the Banner Days SVG file by Lettering Delights but the sun from Doodle charms was my original idea. I used yellow Stickles in the "reflection" on the sun, just for a little sparkle. The sandcastle buckets w/shovels are from Target, as is the beach towel and sunscreen. For my little guy I added a blow-up beach ball, some new sunglasses and new SpongeBob swim trucks. For my daughter I added an inexpesive MP3 player and the final book of the Percy Jackson Serice by Rick Riodan (great books, if you haven't read them yet!).

I thought this would be a fun little way to celebrate the end of the school year and welcome in Summer! :)
