Totally PaperCrafts-Birthday Boys

Time for another challenge over at Totally Papercrafts. This week our challenge is 

Birthday Boys!  

I have to admit with three girls I really do not use too many boy images so I found this great stamp I love from Sparkle Creations. 

Sorry for the picture quality...having some lighting issues and had to get my card up. The papers are a bunch from my stash from K&Company. I colored the image with my Copics. 

Loves Rubberstamps Challenge-Use a Sentiment

Welcome back to another Tuesday morning challenge over at

 This week's challenge is:

   Have a Sentiment on the Front

I admit this is a bit of a rush job for me since I had to get this done right after my vacation.  This lovely image is called Picture Perfect Marci from La La Land Stamps. I did not write down my Copic Recipe this month and the papers from misc scraps I had left over from my stash. 

I will also be entering this into the following challenges:

Loves Rubberstamps-Monday Inspirations

Sorry for the late start. It is my turn for the Monday Morning Inspiration at Loves Rubberstamps. Just got back from the vacation on Sunday and today was the first day of school for all my girls. I do not think they appreciate me singing "It is the best day ever" theme song from Spongebob on the walk down on school. 

 I decided to use some random pictures from our beach days this summer to remember the great days we had. 

I used a fabulous set from Echo Park called Fun in the Sun.  I used my Spellbinders for the circles and the CC Designs Starfish and Shell Die Cutter. All my pictures are borders with Bazzill Banana Split Cardstock. I love the sticker sets that come with the set and used the cricut to make the seahorse.  

My littlest one starts kindergarten this year. We still have half day kindergarten and she is in the afternoon session so I am sure it will be teary eye day later today as I walk her down as all my "babies" are now in school.  Have a great Monday everyone.

I will also be entering this layout into the following challenges:

Artistic Impressions-Anything But a Card
Crafty Boots-Last Days of Summer
Cupcake Inspirations-Photo Inspiration (colors)
Divas by Design-Water

Loves Rubberstamps-Anything Goes

It is time for my favorite and I bet your favorite too challenge them at Loves Rubberstamps Challenges which is

ANYTHING GOES

Today I am back again with my latest kick of scrapbooking to showcase some dance pictures from my girls dance recital in April.

I used MME papers and add the adorable sentiment and image from Tutu Sweet by Mo Manning for Penny Black. I got the inspiration of the layout from Nuts about Sketches blog too.  The flourish is Prima flourishes I have in my stash.

Can not wait to see your beautiful creations to be sure to link them up.

Yumi & Fumi Handmade Challenge-Back to School

It is time for a new challenge over at Yumi and Fumi Handmade Challenge. Our challenge this time is:

 

BACK TO SCHOOL

I can not believe it already time for back to school. This is a big year for us here as my little one starts kindergarten and is now in school with my 4th and 2nd grader! No more "mommy days" for me as we used to call the days she was not in 1/2 day preschool. 

 

 

Of course this great stamp, Yumi with Bookbag, is perfect for this theme.  I used some paper by Echo Park called Paper & Glue (a school theme one) and added some brad embellishments I had for some time now.

I love Rosemary technique for packing plaid and gingham with Copics so I had to so that here. I colored this image  with my Copics. Now remember the new rules that ANY STAMP IMAGE FROM ANY COMPANY CAN PARTICIPATE as long as your image fits the theme.

Can not wait to see your great back to school creations.

Happy Monday everyone. Hopefully most of you are enjoying the holiday weekend and have a day off.

 

I am still in the layout mode right now and decided to do one with some great graduation pictures I got of my little one.  Now this is her preschool graduation...can you tell them know a sucker for her baby pictures is everywhere but she look so cute I couldnot help but by them.

 

 

 

Again I was inspired by a layout from Let's Scrap and I also used the Echo Park Beautiful Life Paper pak.

Thanks for stopping by.

Little Darling Rubberstamps-GDT post

It is Olivia and I am back again for my second August GDT post over at Little Darlings Rubberstamps .

Today I decided to chose the adorable stamp, Butterfly Baby, which is one of the newest stamp release images coming. This is meant to be a baby boy card for a cousin of mine having her second son though I think I keep it not too girly (I hope lol). I colored the image with my Copics and also used my Twin Touch Markers (I recently acquired a few to try and really like them). I had to add some sparkle with some stickles. The paper is from Authentique paper pad and the pearls are from my stash.

Coloring Recipe:

Skin: Twin Touch-131,29,27

Hair: Twin Touch-104,102,97,95

Blues: Copics B18,14,12

I have to admit I do not decoupage alot so this was definitely a challenge to me. I decided to alter a candle jar I had.

Also got to use my lace/ribbon stash as well.

Loves Rubberstamps-Monday Morning Inspiration

Happy Monday everyone!  Hope it is turning out to be a good one for you. It is my turn to showcase for Loves Rubberstamps.

I am switching it up a bit here because I am falling so behind in my scrapbooking with all my card making so I was super excited to see all the 12x12 paper and papers sets added to Loves Rubberstamps.  So no coloring from me today!

Today I am showcasing one of my favorites from Echo Park called-Beautiful Life. I have to admit I am not one of the super fancy scrapbookers but I do love trying to preserve as many of those moments as I can. This set comes with the great borders, sentiments and stickers which I used. I love the sketches over at Let's Scrap group and this is one of them since I really have no imagination to come up with my own layout setups.

Even though it is a bit on the bright side for a winter theme (this is last year big snow fall) I think it works perefectly for my girls.

Have a great day and see you back tomorrow for our newest challenge.

Loves Rubberstamps Challenge

This week's challenge for Loves Rubberstamps is:
Round or Square Cards

 

 

Here is another company I am super excited to see has been added to the shop, TIDDLY INKS! This stamp set is Sweets for My Sweet. Isn't she the cutest!!  Now this paper is from my stash so not sure where I got it. Added some liquid pearls to the pop and then used my Circut/Cuttlebug to do the circle card. Colored the image with my Copics and here is the finished piece.

Hope everyone has a great day.

This image is one of the newest SC stamps via Little Darlings Rubberstamps called Breeze.  What a beauty right?  The paper is from MME and I colored the image with my Copics. The sentiment is also from Little Darlings new sentiment release.

Hair: BV000, BV02,BV04, B01

and added some more depth using my pencils.

LRS Monday Inspiration with Stamping Bella

Happy Monday.  It is my turn for the inspirational piece for Loves Rubberstamps today.  I decide to decorate a small family photo book.  The papers are from a retired paper stash I have from CTMH.  I am not even sure the name either.

 

 

I then stamped the image for the Stamping Bella stamp by Diane Duda called I carry your with me. I colored the image with my Copics and this time decided to stamp it in gray...which I do like the effect.  The flowers and buttons are from my stash.

 

Hope you all have a great day.

Yumi & Fumi Handmade 1st Birthday Hop

I am super honored and excited to have been asked to be part of Yumi & Fumi Handmade 1st Birthday Blog Hop.  This fantastic stamp company has so many great images and we decided to showcase some of them as I celebrate with them on their first Birthday. 

Now great ready to see a boatload of super talented creations coming up. You should have arrived here from Henriette blog but if you have gotten lost along the way just start back at the beginnning.

 

Our Celebration Inspiration photo was as following:

 

So here is what I came up with:

 

What do you think?? I used Winter Yumi Stamp to create this celebration card.  You can guess that the colors were my inspirations as well as the multiple patterns and the flowers.  This paper are from various paper stacks I have in my stash but I think they are all by DCVW. I had this sticker flowers & flourishes in my stash forever so though this was a perfect time to use them (got to make my card sparkle somehow).  I also used a border punch and used Feeling Sketchy sketch. 

 

I used my Copics to color the image:

 

Recipe:

Loves Rubberstamps Monday Inspiration

Happy Monday everyone. We are in full summer mood...can you believe the kids are STILL sleeping???  I am letting them milk it for now since next week starts camp and they have be up bright and early for that.

 

Today for my Loves Rubberstamps Inspirational Post I am featuring one of my favorite images from Stamping Bella's by Mo Manning called Lacie with Ice Cream.

 

 

I found these papers in my stash and I am not even sure who made them but I thought they would look great to use. I think it is from a DCWV assortment pack I have been hoarding for at least a year.

I created the polaroid effect by using one of the Insta Love die set from Your Next Stamp that I received when I had a fabulous time as a GDT over there. The tickets sentiment was actually part of the paper so I just cut it out and added some pop-up to it.

I colored the image with my Copics and tried to add some elements of the sky.
