Sorry I was Crabby {Jane's Doodles}

Hello there!  Just popping in with a quick card!  I was perusing the Jane's Doodles store after seeing lots of cute pins on Pinterest, and saw on their blog that they were offering a free digi and sponsoring a challenge.  I think the little crab is adorable!  I paired the digi with a sentiment from Lawn Fawn's Life is Good stamp set. :)

That's it for me today... hope you're having a good one!  Thanks for stopping by! :)

Supplies:

Stamps: Jane's Doodles Digi, Lawn Fawn Life is Good

Ink: Memento Tuxedo Black, Ranger Tumbled Glass, Vintage Photo

Other: Copic Markers, Copic Multiliner, Google Eyes, Popdots

Just ME Prints Beach Girl Digi Blog Hop!

Hi there!  I'm super excited to be participating in my good friend Elena's blog hop!  Elena has been sharing her super cute doodles on her blog for awhile now, and has decided to offer up a free digi for everyone to use!  You can find her little Beach Girl available to download from her blog.

I resized the image in photo editing software, and sized it so that it was a similar scale to Lawn Fawn's Life is Good Stamp set.  I wanted to build a little scene with the Beach Girl, and make it appear that the flag she is holding is meant to top her newly built sandcastle. :)

There are a bunch of other girls joining in on the hop too!  I can't wait to see what they have created using this adorable image!  Here is the full list:

You're My Universe {Paper Smooches}

Hi there!  It's been awhile since I pulled out my watercolor brushes... There is something so relaxing about watercolor to me.  I kind of just splash paint or ink on the paper and impatiently wait to see what it will look like when it dries.  For my card today, I used Distress Inks to make a galactic background for my little astronaut. :)

I used the Paper Smooches Space Cadet stamp set... Another set that hasn't seen ink in awhile... I just love it!  So fun digging through your stash and playing with goodies that need more attention.

I will be entering this card in the current SPARKS Challenge - Anything goes!

Thanks for stopping by! :)

Supplies:

Stamps: Paper Smooches Space Cadet

Ink: Memento Tuxedo Black, Ranger Milled Lavender, Dusty Concord, Broken China, Tumbled Glass, Faded Jeans

Paper: Distress Watercolor Paper, PTI True Black

Dies: Mama Elephant Femme Frames, Landscape Trio

Other: Copic Markers, Wink of Stella, Glossy Accents, Foam Tape

Lawnscaping Challenge #87 - Back to School

Hi there!  It's time for another Lawnscaping Challenge!  Challenge #87 is all about Back to School! (Can you believe it's almost that time again?!  Where did summer go?!)

This challenge is sponsored by the super fabulous Simon Says Stamp!

For my card today, I used the Science of Love Stamp set, along with Milo's ABCs and the Louie's ABCs dies which I am in LOVE with!!  I can't seem to stop using these alphabet dies... I just adore them!

I started with a piece of black patterned paper from the Peace Love Joy 6x6 pad, then I die cut the letters for "school" from post-it notes using Louie's ABCs.  I positioned them on the patterned paper where I wanted them and sponged over them with white ink to mimic the look of chalk dust on a black board.  Super easy and such a fun look!

I hope you'll join us for a chance to win a great prize!  Be sure to visit the Lawnscaping blog for all of the challenge details and for more inspiration from the design team! :)
