Animal Crackers

I love, love, love this stamp set! It is the B-O-M-B! (okay, not that serious, but I do love it). I'm getting together with my friends tomorrow for some scrappin fun and I'm so excited.... It's been a very busy tax season for me, so I am SO ready to have a little fun!
Here is a card I made a few days ago...

I'll post some of our weekend creations to my blog... my friends are always inspiring me as they both are very creative. Check out their blogs over on the "Blogs I Visit" section.

Almost Friday!!!

Today I actually had a little time to make a couple of cards with my daughter (9). Like me, she loves anything crafts - especially paper, stamps, and other such goodies. Since we were spending a little crafting time together, I thought I would enter Kristina Werner's Color Challenge #43 with two cards from the color scheme identified below.

This card has no stamping, but I love how it came togehter so quickly and so "funk-a-licious". The PP, CS, and Rub-Ons are all SU! the flowers and the tag are older supplies that I had.

On this card, I used my Sizzix die-cut cupcake set from SU! as well as my new texture plates. Another card with minimal stamping, but it was fun and also very quick to make. All supplies are SU!

Although my daughter did not want to use Kristina's colors, this is the card she made and wanted me to post it on my blog for her. These are her words... "I made this card out of inspiration of my best friend and I. She ROCKS! - shout out to Angela Morales!"

Old & New

Made this card with the "Art of Life" stamp set by Stampin Up! and PaperTrey Ink's "Friends til the End" stamp sets. Since the card is Nature based, I figured it wouldn't be a bad idea to combine the two sets of images.

Papertrey Goodies II

Guilty - I ordered a few more items when they released their Feb stamps... Flowers aren't usually my thing, but I really liked this set from PaperTrey Ink called "Friends Til The End". I took inspiration from their gallery site but changed it slightly to make it my own.

Color Challenge #42

Can you believe I actually made the deadline to participate in one of Kristina Werner's color challenge?
Well, I did and here is my submission...

Trendy Trees

I finally pulled out the new stamp set Trendy Trees from Stampin Up! Although I love these cute little trees, I was stuck as to how to use them until today.. so here they go...
All Supplies Stampin Up!

B&White Challenge II

This is the second card I made for a swap I signed up for from SplitCoastStampers. The challenge was to create a more formal, elgant card using black/gray/white/cream... The first image of the flowers does not include the bling on the first and third flower, I added those later (in the second pic).

I really like the simple elegance of this card and hope you like too!

All materials used were miscellaneous companies... tootles!
