Bella Blvd. & Hampton Arts

Attention stampers and fans of Bella Blvd. and Hampton Arts...this week the Bella Blvd. design team is providing you with some stamping inspiration using the newest cling stamps (Love and Marriage, Sand and Surf, and Kiss Me) licensed and manufactured through Hampton Art Stamps. 

For my friendship card I used the Sand and Surf collection.

For this Mr. and Mrs. card I used the Love and Marriage line.

To see what my teammates created with these stamps visit the Bella Blvd. blog. Enjoy all the projects! :)

Gallery Idol 2013

How many of you enjoy the TV show American Idol? Have you heard of Paper Crafts magazine's version, Gallery Idol? It's a greeting card contest and open audition birthday cards for kids and teens are due May 27th. Are you participating? 

I thought I'd try out this year. Here's one of my entry cards using Pebbles' Love You More collection. Come play along! This is going to be a lot of fun! :)

Congratulations

Hello! 

Today I have a graduation card to share with you using Doodlebug Design's new Cap and Gown collection.

Isn't the Doodle Pop cap accent adorable?!?! 

Even more adorable is Oreo here! I think this line is the perfect match for him! ;) 

Have a wonderful Wednesday and thanks for visiting!

July Birthdays?

Hello! 

How many of you are celebrating a birthday in July? Or know someone special who has a summertime birthday? I had a reader tell me the other day that her birthday is on July 4th! How fun would that be to have fireworks on your big day?!?! 

I created this birthday greeting with Doodlebug's awesome new Stars and Stripes collection and if you're thinking of picking up this line at your local scrapbook store, it's great for summer birthday cards too! My favorite part of this card are the bicycles! Oh, and the pinwheel! ;) 

Enjoy your day!

Lakeside

Hello! 

I've got a special post for you today...a project using a brand new and very cool line from Pebbles called Lakeside. 

If you enjoy the great outdoors as I do, this collection is for you! I went through all the pretty papers and accents and put together these postcards using my favorite pieces in the line. 

Did you get to spend a little time with mother nature over the weekend? The weather for our garage sale on Saturday was perfect, then it rained the rest of the weekend so we didn't spend very much time outside. We went to the California Pizza Kitchen for dinner Saturday night. It was a whirlwind weekend...went by so fast! 

Hope you have a great start to your week! Thanks for stopping in. :) 

July

T.G.I.F. everyone! 

Do you have any exciting plans for the weekend? We're having a community wide garage sale tomorrow and I'm hoping it's a great big success! We've been working on simplifying for the past couple years and have given so much to the Goodwill and now we're hoping to make a few bucks on more items. 

Saturday evening the family is going out to dinner. A nice reward for our hard work, don't you think?

Before I go wrap up last minute details for our sale, I wanted to leave you with a craft share. I made this Fourth of July card with Doodlebug's Stars and Stripes collection. Swoon! I adore this line!

Have a great weekend! :)

Thank You

Hello! 

I love flowers! I've been enjoying an orchid perched on the dresser in our bedroom every morning while waking up. Hubs gave it to me last month for our anniversary. Flowers brighten my day and make me smile. 

How about a crafty card share with flowers as the focal point? The flower accents I used are from the new Pebbles Lakeside collection and the patterned papers are from Studio Calico's Snippets line. 

I hope my flowery card brightens your day just a little! Thanks for visiting! :)
