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!

World Card Making Day Blog Hop

Welcome to the World Card Making Day blog hop by Scrappy Moms Stamps! If you are joining me from Nicole's WONDERFUL project then you are on the right track. If you want to make sure you follow the hop order you can go back to the Scrappy Moms Stamps blog. :)

Here is my card project for the day...




I decided to try something I have never done before in honor of the day - a spinner card! It's not exactly what I envisioned and I can't get it quite balanced. LOL Still, I think it turned out pretty cute. :)

The owl and branch are both from Hoot 'n Hollor - the owl is cut at about 2". I used the narrow rectangle and 2 circles from George and Basic Shapes to make the channel for the spinner.

I added 2 large pink gems and a stamp from SMS Sweet Somethings set to finish the card.

I hope you enjoyed my project today, be sure to leave a comment for your chance to win a SMS Game Day stamp set! I know that Blogger is having issues with posting comments so if you have difficultly you can leave your comment with a way to contact you if you win on my CBox on the right side-bar.

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! :)
