Friend-Ship

I stamped the images on this card using my Stampin' Up Boatloads of Love set.

This was such a simple card to make. I just tore the "water" pieces to give it that choppy ocean look. I then stamped the boats onto white cardstock, colored and cut them out.

Since the rope on the tug boat and the antenna on the top of the boat were so thin, I just stamped the boats directly onto the base before I glued the boat cut outs onto the card. This way, I didn't have to worry about cutting out those skinny lines. I used my sponge dauber to color in the sky.

Lizzie Anne Designs Out of This World

Check out this fun little card that I made yesterday for my daughter's little friend Cooper. See how the alien appears to be levitating? LOL

I used the new set by Lizzie Anne Designs called Out of This World. Oh, I know I'll get lots of use out of this one!!

This set also comes with a rocket ship, a couple planets and some cute sentiments. Another great thing about these is that they came in a CD case, so I didn't have to figure out how to store them.

They actually inspired me to put some of my other sets in CD cases. I found a box of at least 50 empty CD cases from my college days out in our garage. I was so excited when I found them. They've been that box for years and I had forgotten all about them. I was about to head out to WAl*Mart to go pick some up when my husband reminded me about them. I just had to remove the inserts and pop out the cd holder and they wer good to go! Now I'm organized and it feels great!

Lizzie Anne Once Upon A TIme

I am smitten with my new stamp set by Lizzie Anne Designs called Once Upon A Time. I pieced this card together with some of the stamps from this set. I think that friendly little dragon is adorable!

The clouds came from my Stampin Up Boatloads of Love set.

This card will go to a little girl named Arianna who is in my daughter's preschool class. Another one turning five!

CDS Wagon Wishes

Clear Dollar Stamps makes this adorable set called Wagon Wishes. It comes with this little wagon and all sorts of items that you can stack in it along with numerous sentiments. 20 stamps in all. Here, I stacked moving boxes, a fish bowl and even the potted plant. Isn't it adorable?!

I've been eyeing this set in their eBay store for quite a while and just got around to buying it. I'm so glad that I did.

Here's my newest card!

Stamp Oasis Swing Time

Here is something that I made from my Rubbernecker Stamp Oasis Swing Time stamp.



Stamp oasis has several stamps in its fantasy category that look like fairy tale creatures and characters. They are very cute, but there is something (dare I say) creepy about the eyes.



There are several that I would like to order, but I just ordered this one for now. As you may have noticed, the eyes are closed and the smaller girl in the background's eyes don't look like the others in this category.



I might go back and order some more if I can figure out how to tone the hollow eyes down a bit.



Oh, and I really have to share this picture with you. It is of all my new stamps that I got in the mail! Check it out...

Hey Chick!

It was like Christmas this afternoon. The mailman delivered two of my stamp orders. I am so impressed with both of these companies. I ordered from Lizzie Anne and Rubbernecker. I placed my Lizzie Anne order on Saturday and my Rubbernecker order on Monday evening.... and they already arrived today!

Here is something that I made with just a few of my Rubbernecker stamps. The sentiment came from one of my TAC sets.

To make this, I just took a plain card base and stamped chicken wire on it. I then rubbed my CTMH Bamboo ink pad on it a little bit to give it a distressed look. The chicken coop, chick and feed are three different stamps that I stamped individually, colored, cut out and layered.

It sounds pretty labor-intensive, but this card really didn't take too much time to make.

Hoppy Birthday!

I've been making quite a few birthday cards lately. Here is one that I made last night. This set is by The Angel Company and is called Hoppy Frogs. TAC stamps are so reasonably priced. This set only cost $7.95 and comes with 8 stamps, including these phrases: "Just for you," "Hoppy Birthday," "Hooray!" and "Thanks."

There are four cute frogs in this set, but this one looks more like it's hopping... or would you say jumping? Isn't it cute?!
