You're a Lifesaver!

There is another Hoedown at the Hambo Stamps blog.  Have you been???  You will receive a free digi to play in next weeks challenge after entering your project featuring a Hambo stamp this week!  Plus you get a chance at winning this week!  Can't beat that!  I don't know of any other company who gives away a free digi just for playing!  Hope you can join us!

For my Hambo project this week I have gone in a different direction than a card.  I have made this adorable little pillow box.  It has a window!  You can find the template at The Cutting Cafe.  I used the life guard stand stamp with the You're a lifesaver sentiment. 

My picture didn't come out fabulous like usual!  So sorry :0(

I will give all the details of this card when I return from my trip.

Ahoy!

Good Morning!  It is a bright and sunny day here in Florida!  We had a wonderful weekend celebrating my little Bean's birthday!  It was a 4 day party....starting out with Sea World (Bean was in heaven!), then The Magic Kingdom on his birthday, followed by Typhoon Lagoon and then we went bass fishing yesterday.  Bean caught a 5lb bass! 
So, today in honor of our bass fishing trip, I have this adorable card made for the challenge over on the Paper Pretties blog.  I am a guest designer this month and next...what an honor!  This weeks challenge is to use anything but markers to color your image.  I used crayola colored pencils....they are Bean's!  This set is perfect for a welcome baby or a baby shower.  My friend Kim will receive this card....she is having a baby in late August early September. 

Thanks so much for visiting today!  I will add the details for this card when I return from my trip. 

If you LOVE this set, you can purchase it HERE.

Good morning!  I am so excited to be doing this post for one of my favorite companies....Paper Pretties!  Heather...the new owner picked me as a July/August Guest Designer way back in December.  I am really excited to be a temporary part of this fantastic team!  Thanks so much Heather!

Today's challenge over at the Paper Pretties Blog is a Sketch Challenge.  This was a really fun sketch.  I picked this adorable little girl named "Giving Thanks Sophia".  The DP was a gift from Heather at  Paper Pretties...just perfect for the backdrop of this sweet Sophia.

This Sophia's dress is another example of adding pleats to a flat stamp.  It really gives the feel of a little more a of dimensional image.  For more terrific examples please visit  Color Me Creative

Paper Cupcake-Magical Mondays: Embossing Challenge

Well this is the 2nd go around with this tag.  The first time I was really pleased with the outcome of my cute little monkey tag.  But I didn't see that I was supposed to use this weeks FREEBIE!  DUH!!!  So here is my new tag using this beautiful flower vase!  Embossing you ask??? Where is it???  It is there I promise.  The patterned background totally drowned out the paisley dry embossing :( 

Here is the 1st...where you can actually see the embossing (stars)!  Just the wrong image!
