Are You Yeti For Christmas?

Now that I'm almost done with my kitchen remodel I can focus on stamping again and so today I played along with the sketch challenge over at The Paper Players and the animal challenge at Jingle Belles (I think I channeled Lauren and her monster vibes ;) .

I recently got this new set from the latest MFT release. It's called 'Beast Friends' and I just love this yeti with Christmas lights. I've always been interested in the legend surrounding yeti's but I think over time people have made them out to be cuter than they are supposed to be, and that's ok!

We already have snow on the ground here in my part of Alaska so I am completely in Christmas mode already! I am more than "yeti" for the holiday season :)

Fall Blessings for Sunday Stamps

It's time for another challenge at Sunday Stamps and this week we have a nice simple sketch to play along with. 

I grabbed the set Lovely Leaves from SugarPea Designs and embossed the sentiment "Fall Blessings" in gold on the left side of the card front. I then used some paper I've had for years from S.E.I. to create my border on the right side of the card. It has gold on it also so ties in nicely with the gold sentiment. To help separate the 2 sections I added a strip of Old Olive, cut out with a die from MFT.

Make sure you head over to Sunday Stamps to see what the rest of the DT created and then play along with us!

Only One You

Happy Thursday! I hope everyone is having a great week! I'm excited because I'm finally wrapping up my kitchen remodel. I started refinishing my cabinets and painting them back in Aug and that's almost done, plus I put the new color on the kitchen walls this week so that is done. All I need to do is go get the new curtains and blinds this weekend and I'll be about done with this project, whew! 

You know what else is new? This image from Little Miss Muffet Stamps! I love it because I am a total tomboy and this image could totally have been me as a kid :) I used my favorite colors on the card, blue and green. This image is called 'Uma' and is part of the Polka Dot Pals line (my favorite line, just saying, love all the images!). You can buy this image and so many more HERE.

Head over to the LMMS Challenge blog and see what the rest of the DT came up with and then play along with our Anything Goes challenge!

LMMS Inspiration Week!

This week it's time for some inspiration over at the Little Miss Muffet Stamps FB page! With Halloween just around the corner I decided to combine 3 images for a fun Halloween card.

The images I combined are the Polka Dot Princess (just released last week!), Jr Hatter Batty and Polka Dot Pals Ghostly. I decided to stick with colors usually associated with Halloween....purple, green and black. The purple copics I used are blue violet shades but it's more of a purple shade, I swear :) I wanted the 3 images to be the main focus of the card so I kept it simple by just shading around them and keeping the background white.

Head on over to the LMMS FB group to see the rest of the wonderful inspiration being shared! You can find the images I used in the LMMS Store HERE.

Thanks and Giving for Sunday Stamps

Oooops, I'm a bit late getting my Sunday Stamps post up! Hubby and I went to Seward Alaska with good friends this past weekend to celebrate my birthday and I forgot to set up the post before I left.

This week at Sunday Stamps we have a color challenge. I decided to use the browns and go monochromatic on my card. I also played along with the sketch over at SugarPea Designs challenge blog.

The sentiment is from SugarPea Designs set Lovely Leaves. I love this sentiment and the font used! I stamped the leaves from the set in a few different browns, cut them out and then popped them up in the corner.

Head on over to the Sunday Stamps blog to see what the rest of the DT came up with and play along with us! Don't forget to also go check out the challenge over at SugarPea Designs!

A Fun Announcement!

Happy Thursday! I'm excited to announce that for the next 6 months I'll be a guest DT member at Little Miss Muffet Stamps. They are a great shop that offers wonderful digital images to play with along with rubber stamps!

If you've never used digital stamps before trust me, it's super easy! This is actually my first card ever that I created with digital stamps and if I can do it, trust me, you can too :)

This sweet girl is part of a new release coming out today from Little Miss Muffet Stamps! She is part of the Polka Dot Pals collection and you can buy faces to customize your images or you can be like me and just leave it as is!

A friend of mine's husband recently retired from the US Navy and they moved from NJ to Idaho, where they bought a home. She posted a picture on Instagram of some beautiful purple mums that are growing in the yard and that was my inspiration for the coloring of this image. I'm in full on fall mode so I'm all about the darker colors right now (well, ok, when am I not about darker colors LOL, they are my favorite).

Head on over to the Little Miss Muffet Store to pick up this fun image and then head on over to the LMMS challenge blog and play along with the Anything Goes Challenge!

Many Thanks for Sunday Stamps

We've got a great new sketch this week at Sunday Stamps! Autumn is almost over here in Alaska so I decided to go will a fall themed card. My craft room looks out over my backyard so the last few weeks I've been distracted from crafting by watching the leaves fall from the trees!

I used patterned paper from Lawn Fawn along with their Small Stitched Leaves set. I love these leaves, they are so pretty! The colors I used for the leaves were pulled from the patterned paper.

Head on over to the Sunday Stamps blog to see what the rest of the DT came up with and then play along with us, we'd love to see your interpretation of the sketch!
