Rubber Romance Flowers!!

Hey all. When I saw this stamp by Rubber Romance, I just couldn't wait to play with it. I saw the possibilities with it! Use the entire stamp, just one flower, or all, cut them out and then use dimensionals to raise them! Check out some great tutorials on the Rubber Romance Stamps Design Team blog! The rub on sentiment is by Peebles Inc and I added some cute candy dots I got from www.diecutsrus.com. Colored with my copics, add SU's Crystal Effects to the vases to make them look like glass, and of course used my swiss dots folder to emboss!!

29 & Holding....

Seems like all my girlfriends are turning 29 this year! So, when I saw this 29 & Holding sentiment stamp from Rubber Romance Stamps- it had to be mine!!! I also used the cute image stamp by RRS too! Colored with my copics, added crystal effects and some flock (only $2.99 at Archiver's!) and this image really came to life!

Triple Whammy

It's a new challenge day at Just Buggin. Today your are challenged to use 3 die cuts on your project. A Triple Whammy! Head over and check it out!! You will see my project on the Just Buggin Blog every Monday here on my blog, but on the days I introduce the challenge, I thought it might be fun to include another project that uses the same challenge details. (This is also for those of you who look here for fun, inspiration, and so on and who don't really care about challenges :) I love you too! :) I know I showed this layout a while back, but it fit today's challenge too so I thought I would pull it out again! All the new people may not have seen some of my fav's over time :) It's fun for me to show some again! Here are three cuts, all from Accent Essentials- one of the carts that came with my Expression. (And yes, that's my Daddy. I love hiM!)

Head over to Just Buggin for more!

Just Buggin- Monkey Business!

I just love a cute monkey! I know I told you that last week when I showed the monkey card, BUT it's true :) So, when the Just Buggin Challenge was announced for Challenge 11 "Into The Wild", I knew I had to use a monkey!! Head over to Just Buggin to see other examples by my fellow design teamers! If you want to play along, we'd love to have you!!

I used the tag feature on the New Arrival Cartridge, Brown Vinyl I got at www.diecutsrus.com and the cute ribbon I found at Michaels!

Tastefully Simple

Hey everyone. This isn't crafty news, but I am hosting an online Tastefully Simple party. You can view the items and place an order here if you want! I love TS! I always have some of their products in my pantry for a quick go to- appetizer, great dip mixes and soup mixes (Potato is YUMMO!) and quick sweets. Everything takes like one or two other "wet" ingredients and it is done. People always rave about the items :) Just wanted to let you all have a chance to order if you needed anything! Ecspecially with the holiday gatherings coming up!

Simple Guy...

I love simple cards for men. Obviously my dad probably doesn't appreciate my love for pink or bling :) So, this is a great alternative! I love the simpliity of the stamped image and no coloring! Papers & ribbon are Cosmo Cricket.
