Thanks, Mom!

I made this card for my mom-the sweetest person I know! Truly, she is a wonderful person who always puts others first, and makes me wish I could be so selfless! The card base is Bazzill bling cs, embossed on the front panel with the Cuttlebug textile folder. The patterned paper is Basic Grey Wisteria, and the digistamp I used was the Sketchy Cosmos stamp from Lindsay's Stamp Stuff Pretty Flowers set, cut out and embossed with Nestabilities.
I am entering it into the challenges at
I Love Digi (make a Thank You card)
Dare U 2 Digistamp(use Flowers)
Raise The Bar (Color Me Happy-use your favorite color-blue)


Thanks for stopping by, now head over to Lindsay and the other designers' blogs, for lots of inspiration and eye candy!

A quick card for a swap, and a SALE!

Today I am sharing a simple recipe card that I made for a swap on 2 Peas, all about strawberries! My recipe is for my Gran's shortbread. So yummy! I used the Recipe Lines digistamp from Lindsay's Stamp Stuff recipe set, a paper doily from the Dollar Tree, a square of red gingham paper, a free svg file for a strawberry that I picked up on the web, and a white flower from Plantain Schoolbook cartriidge, with the edges rolled, and a dot of yellow stickles in the center.

Now, head over to My Graphico, they are having a 15% off sale in honor of Earth Day!

My "Lindsay project" that I am sharing today is for one of the challenges at the Online Crop we are having through tomorrow (be sure to stop by, there are freebies for everyone!). This challenge was to make altered art (recycle a container!). I decided to join a swap with this project on 2 Peas. I took a 1 lb clear strawberry container, and I wanted to decorate it in a "vintage style". Basic Grey Nook and Pantry, Lindsay's Stamp Stuff Sew Pretty digistamp set, the Ribbon Corner digistamp FREEBIE and the Sewing Stuff digistamp were perfect for this project! Go grab them while they are on sale, everything is 50% off through tomorrow (Thursday April 15)! Don't miss out! Now, go hopping, but be sure to come back again tomorrow, I have at least one (maybe more) "Lindsay projects" to share with you!

Hop, Crop and Shop!

Hi! Welcome to the Lindsay's Stamp Stuff Anniversary blog hop! If you are arriving here from Cheryl's blog, you are on the right track! Wasn't her project fantastic? Make sure you are leaving comments, so you will have as many chances as possible to win one of Lindsay's fantastic stamp sets! We are each giving a WHOLE SET of digistamps away on our blogs! Wow! If you get lost along the way, I have a copy of the links here:

Lindsay will have a copy on her blog, as well!

Ok, now for my project:

I made this layout using the Winged Things digistamp set, some yummy Prima papers and flowers, Grungeboard, and papers from C.R. Gibson's Tapestry Ruby Lemonade Collection. The tiny butterflies were made with my Martha Stewart punch and Heidi Swapp gemstones.
Here is a closer look at how I used the digistamp on this page:I printed the Filled Butterfly stamp out on light blue vellum, and sprinkled clear embossing powder on it right away, and heat embossed it with my heat tool. Then I spritzed the butterfly with Turquoise Blue Glimmer Mist by Tattered Angels, and heated it again, because I am too impatient to just "let it dry". I also spritzed the Glimmer Mist on the Grungeboard swirl, dried it, and then inked the embossing and the edges with Tim Holtz Tumbled Glass ink pad.

Now, be sure to leave me a comment for a chance to win this awesome digistamp set from Lindsay's Stamp Stuff! If you want a second chance to win, grab the "I'm a Fan of Lindsay's Stamp Stuff" badge for your blog,and link it to the store here: http://www.mygrafico.com/lindsay-39-s-stamp-stuff/aff_100.html
It's so easy, just copy and paste! Then, come back and leave me a comment to let me know that you did, for a second chance to win! And be sure to drop by our Crop Room on MyGraphico , because Lindsay will be giving away some freebies there for everyone, that will only be available for the 3 days of the crop. There are also lots of challenges and fun, something for everyone!

And, last but not least, be sure to stop by Lindsay's Stamp Stuff Store to stock up, because she has everything on a FANTASTIC Anniversary Special, 50% off during the Hop, Shop, and Crop, so don't miss out! And if you happen to win a set that you already bought, she will let you pick another one, isn't that cool? Love her!

Next stop on the hop is Jennifer, go see what she has created for you! And come back tomorrow, I have another "Lindsay project", and I will also have a list posted for tomorrow's hop links!

A Cheery Hello!

Springtime is one of my favorite seasons! I just love it, the rain showers, the smell of fresh flowers, and the days when the sun pokes it's head through the clouds are so nice! And going from the the drab,dreary colors of winter to the brightness and freshness of spring is just another reason to love it. Today's card was inspired by those bright colors, and yesterday's sketch at Moxie Fab World. I used the Happy Rainbow digistamp from Lindsay's Stamp Stuff, her new Puddle Fun collection. Isn't this new set so happy and adorable? Lindsay has a couple of new sets in her shop, so you should definantly check it out! And don't forget to come back Tuesday, as we kick off Anniversary Week. We will have a blog hop on Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday, with lots of fun and *Freebies* every day! You don't want to miss out! See my post below for more details! Now head over to Lindsay's blog, and the other designers, to see what they have for you today!
