Happy Birthday Car - The Stamping Boutique

Love love love this bug!  I'm into trying new cards lately, and this one was a stair stepper card.  For some reason I thought it would be hard to fill up all the spaces, but really, it just opened up so many places to stuff something.  I love everything going on in this card.  I'm entering the following challenges:

May Your Day Be Filled With Sunshine - The Stamping Boutique


Tried a new type of folding card.  Pretty cool, and it ties at the side with a bow.  The Stamping Boutique's challenge this week is Sentimental!  It is amaizing how hard it is for me not to use an image and just have the saying be the focal point.  I do like the outcome, but of course, I had to blingify it!  How cool would this card be on top of a little drawer box for candy!  Hmmmmm......  Meet me at The Stamping Boutique for your chance to win some cool digis.  I mean, you can never have enough crafting supplies or digis!  Have a Fabby Day!

Poppies - The Stamping Boutique

 

Clean and Simple is the challenge at The Stamping Boutique this week.  I don't know about you, but this was a tough one for me.  So much space to add a ribbon, button, bling, bow.......SOMETHING!  I decided a Scrapbook page was the answer.  I use Poppies from The Stamping Boutique, however, I made several copies of the digital image, cutting them apart and placing them where  I wanted.  In the end, I was very happy with the page.  I'm going to enter the following challenges:

AIW Cheshire Cat - The Stamping Boutique

Isn't he quirky?  So bright and cheery, yet a little creepy with his glossy yellow eyes?  I thought it would be fun to shape this one like a hat, and I got the cutest beads to make funky hat pins for my cards...great another thing to do....LOL!  So much to craft, so little time. I'll be at the following challenges:

Nurse - A Sassy Studio Design

Can you believe it, my second post of the day!  Whoot Whoot, I'm playing in my crafting room!!!  I love these Sassy Studio Designs - a bit sexy - a bit sassy, so I thought I'd build up my get well card stash.  What do you think of the heart bandaids?  I know, I know, I just had to add bling somewhere.  I'm going to enter the following challenges:

Alice - The Stamping Boutique

Have you made a shaker card before?  This is my second one, and I gotta say it is fun shaking these up!  The Stamping Boutique is spotlighting their Alice in Wonderland Series of images which means you need an AIW image from The Stamping Boutique to enter the challenge, so shopping and crafting what's more fun than that?  AIW is normally "out of my box" type of feel for cards, but it was so much fun working with Tracey's images, and the fact that I was doing something totally different for me!  I'm stepping out of my box!  Yeahhhhh!  I'm a princess, blingy, all things soft and girly sort of card maker!!!!  So, with that said, I'm going to enter my take on Alice in Wonderland in the following challenges, come on, join me!

Abby - The Stamping Boutique

The Stamping Boutique is sponsoring a challenge at:  http://justinspirationalchallenges.blogspot.com.  The challenge is to be inspired by this photo:


I mean, really, who wouldn't be inspired by this, I mean, Look at this space!!!  I want to move in!  LOL! Of course I would have to put a crafting table in here, coffee machine, mini fridge... Here is my take on this inspirational photo, I thought I'd put my vintage sepia photos of my 2 girls in this layout.  Abby reminds me of my girls playing dressup...tooo cute!


I'm entering the following challenges:

Daisys - The Stamping Boutique

I tried paper folds on this one under the bow, kinda cool.  This really turned out soft and subtle, and that's what I love about it.  I think this would be great for a sympathy card as well.  I can be seen at the following challenges.  If you have the time, come play!
