Another entry for the PlayDate Cafe Challenge today! ALso for The Pink Elephant!  I am loving this color combo. It's easy to get in the mood for the holidays crafting with it!!

Add a few Recollections red pearls to the tree, dimensionals to pop the white off the brown, and some ribbon and you are done!! WHOOO likes them? LOL. Thanks for stopping by!

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!
