This Year... I Promise to Eat less Pie!

I will NOT wobble this year, I will NOT wobble this year!

This sentiment and image combo from DRS Designs crack me up! I stamped the sentiment all over the background and then I stamped the turkey and colored him with copics. I used my nesties to make the circle and I used another fun DRS circle stamp to add a fun border. Then I stamped the sentiment on twill tape and secured it with large eyelets. Thanks for popping and in and be sure to repeat to yourself..."I will NOT Wobble..." 

Yeah baby... This Witch is Totally in!!!

LOVE Halloween... I mean... the kinda expect you to be a witch... yeeeeehaw!

I made this card using BROOMSTICK STELLA, and of course I colored her green... whatother color would a witch be? Then I cut her out and added her on this cloudy background and stamped my all time favorite sentiment! Be sure to stay tuned for some gorgeous autumn stamps from DRS...they will be on your MUST HAVE list! Thanks for popping in! 

Halloween Party Invite... DRS Style.

I love love love this stamp. What a super fun Halloween party invite!

 I brayered the background on NON glossy card stock and this is what I got...so I KNEW this stamp would be perfect on this background! I stamped the image and then I colored the cauldron in with a glossy black embossing pen. For the moon, I punched a circle on scrap card stock and sponged gold ink and then removed the mask. I decided that the sky was a little bit empty... so I knew that bats were in order... and here is my card! Quick enough to make a lot of them for a huge Halloween party... but a great looking invite just the same... and that is what it is all about... right! Thanks for popping in!

Double Embossing and DRS Designs Stamps!

One day at a time indeed... but lately, several have been piling up on me all at the same time! Thank goodness for my escape... STAMPING! I learned this double embossing technique and I knew that I could not wait to showcase one of DRS Designs wonderful sentiment stamps in the frame that it made. I chose One Day at a Time to remind me of... well... just that. I stamped the leaves around the outside edges to incorporate the black into my color combo and add some texture. Then, ribbon, bling and flowers to complete the look. Thanks for popping in and I hope everyone has a cheerful weekend...

Because Ya HAFTA Make 'em... It Helps When The Image is Gorgeous

That's right. I am talking about sympathy cards. I know that it is hard to make them when ya HAFTA...so I like to make them ahead... and then I have them ready and I can get the card to the family right away. Anyway, this gorgeous image is from DRS DESIGNS and I love the softness of this image. The script in the sentiment is beautiful as well. I colored this card with soft colors and tried to keep the embellishing to a minimum and I am pretty happy with the result. DRS DESIGNS have so many beautiful sympathy images and sentiments... you can check them out here. Thanks for stopping by...

DRS Designs Pet Sympathy Stamp...Because it Happens.

They are members of the family and it hurts to loose them. What makes it better is when someone acknowledges that they have a friend who is grieving the loss of a pet friend. DRS Desings have come up with these images and the perfect sentiment to show that you care. I sponged the background to make it look like Heaven and added some bling...( I believe in a blingy heaven) and I used a stamp positioner to make sure my sentiment was in the perfect place... and here is my card. Make sure you stop by  DRS Designs to see all of the other new releases that they have and stop by the blog to play along with the sketch challenge for a chance to win some of them!

It Is Time For Some DRS Designs Sneaky PEEKYS!!!

Ok... At DRS Designs... we usually DON'T use background paper because we don't have to.WHY, You ask??? Because they have so many wonderful background stamps that you can MAKE your own background paper with... THAT'S WHY!!! But I made this quick because the baby was sleeping and Ava was drawing and I stole like 10 minutes. So please forgive me DRS... and know that this sentiment HAD to be made into a bra card!!! I thought this paper was perfect and the lace trim just really set this off perfectly!

This sentiment and the other new releases will be available for purchase on the DRS Designs web store beginning on July 1oth. So please keep your eyes peeled for all of the sneeks that will be shown by me and the DRS Designs DT! Thanks for popping in!

YUMMMMM.... These Look Good Enough To Eat!

I love the crisp,clean look of this card. It was a quick and fun and NON STRESSFUL card to make. I love to color... so the berries were perfect for me and Then I got to use my fave background stamp, the Plaid Maker. And the sentiment? What a wonderful excuse to send someone a card...to wish them a blessed day!

All of the Images are from DRS DESIGNS and in case you have been away from your computer for the month of June... you still have a few days left to go to the DRS Designs blog to enter the stamp a day giveaway. all you have to do is leave a comment... EASY PEASY!!! Thanks for popping in!
