So who won the Paper Smooches’ Chilly Chums stamp set?

Well, I think I can answer that question. 😉

Props go out to Amy Kolling (9/27 @9:50 p.m.).

“There is nothing better than googlie eyes and they are a scream on the seals!!!”

Congrats, Amy! I’ll be in touch via email shortly to make prize sending arrangements!

Thanks again to everyone for stopping by!

Hi everybody!

Meet today’s card!

Du… du… dummmmmmm. ; )

Thrilled to be guesting for Deasy Designs (fine, fine folks) and joining them in celebrating their October clear stamp release.

Made this one with their new Happy Winter set, which goes on sale on Oct. 1st. Every single element stamped on here is from the stamp set.

Check out their blog today to see more projects made with this new set. A-freakin-dorable stuff, I tell ya. Wait until you guys see the critters. 🙂

I’ll be back again tomorrow with something I made with their other new set for October.

See you again soon!

So we meet again! 😉

So let’s get on with show.
Meet my card for the hop!

I used the new Chilly Chums set. The seal, all his/her accessories (because seals are way cuter when they accessorize, right? Wink!) and words  are from it. 🙂

I also paired the set with a couple other Paper Smooches stamp sets: He Said, She Said (the speech bubble) and Perpetual Bliss (the microphone and music note).

Gosh, I don’t even know what else to say about this little one, other than I laughed more and more as I worked on it. 🙂 Thus, the pom pom and wiggle eyes came out. I hope it makes you giggle, too!

Thanks for stopping by today. Hope you enjoy the hop!

Hi all!

Meet today’s cards.

Yep. Cards!
Here’s #1

And here is #2.

Both of these were quick and simple, which is the way to go some days.

Made both of these for a challenge with Technique Tuesday to make something with one of the six Keep Calm inspired stamp sets.

I used the Get Crafty set on the first one.

I’ve been wanting to use the scissors to “cut away” paper forever so it was a good chance to do it. I’ve loved how I’ve seen projects by many other crafters over the years where they have done that.

And I used Think Vacation on the second one.

(If you are looking for these stamps, I’ve spotted them on Ellen Hutson, Simon Says Stamp and Scrapbook.com… in addition to the Technique Tuesday Web site. Two Peas and i(heart)papers have some of the Keep Calm stamps, too.)

Check out the Technique Tuesday blog to see other projects made with the Keep Calm stamps.

See you again later.

Hi all!

Another day. Another card. (Woot. Woot.)

This is one more created with the September Greenhouse Society stamp set from Technique Tuesday.

I was a feeling a bit rebellious this time and resisted using the stamp set’s Sunflower and instead just opted words from the set this time.

Pretty sunflower, yes! But rebellious Teri I am today. 😉

The papers are just little scraps leftover from other projects I’ve been working on. They (along with the pieces are chipboard) are from October Afternoon.

I’m not the only one playing with this stamp set today. Hit the Technique Tuesday blog to see some other fine projects made with it by some really fab girls!

That’s all for now. See you again later.

Hello, hello!

It’s a good day for a card, don’t ya think?

So meet today’s card.

The papers are from Glitz’s Cashmere Dame (the yellow stuff) collection and October Afternoon’s Midway collection.

The stamped words and conversation bubble and think (from a larger thinking of you) dies are Simon Says Stamp! The “i” is a letter sticker from Jillibean, while the label (cut in half) is from October Afternoon as well.

Got in touch my old school scrapbooking self (circa 2002 or so… giggle) and whipped out an old pack of chalks to brush a little pink chalk over the “think” die-cut to add a little tint to it to go with the patterned paper. Successful, I don’t know. But fun to use something I haven’t used in quite awhile? Ab.So.Lute.Ly.

And, one more thing, you might be wondering who won the copy of Holiday Cards & More Vol. 7 from the Go-to Gal Hop?

Well, well, well, that would be Laura Norris (10:17 a.m. on 9/20)

“Love little Marley! So cute….”

Congrats, Laura! I’ll send you an email shortly so I can make arrangements to have your prize sent to you.

A big mondo thanks to everyone who stopped by. You are all are so kind to leave such nice words. I sure appreciate them. Thanks, guys!

Be back again later.
