The Character Cafe!

I found another digital stamp company The Character Cafe. Cute cute cute! They're having a design team call and today is the last day to apply! I'm just squeezing in before the deadline. Wish me luck!! The cute little number above is from their June 2009 release. The image is called Brady & Stacey "Swingin". I added heart brads because they look like they might have a little crush on each other :) I used copics to color the image and glitter on her shirt, headband, and to give her some earrings. Hopefully you can see the little sparkly details in the close up. The pink card is a random generic card and the green polka dot paper is from Papertrey Ink.

More polka dots and a Bombshell!

My first Bombshell Stamp! Isn't she gorgeous?? I LOVE this image and I love the way the card came out. I just ordered another set so I'll be posting another Bombshell card next week. The skull has a silver tooth, although it doesn't show up very well in the pic. There are also silver accents on both glasses and a silver bracelet on the girl. I colored this with Copics, an Inkssentials White Accent Pen, and a Gelly Roll Silver Star pen.

Polka dots and a Halloween Card!

This is my first digital stamp! I'll admit, I was very hesitant to use digital stamps because I didn't know how they would turn out with my printer ink. But I'm here to tell you, I LOVE THEM. First, let's discuss the instant gratification! You mean, I can have that stamp I just fell in love with online RIGHT NOW?? I wish I had that option with every stamp I ever wanted! I had absolutely no problems with using my Copic markers, and I barely waited a minute after I pulled it off the printer. I bought the stamp, printed it, and had it colored and on a card in less than an hour. Anyway, this adorable little BatCat came from Digital Pencil Too. Check them out, you'll love them!!



Don't you just LOVE polka dots? This card is for my mom's co-worker and my mom picked out the colors. Came out cute, huh?? This is a Stampingbella image.

'Your Next Stamp 1st Design Team Call'

Here are the 2 cards I am submitting to be considered for a spot as a member of the DT for the new stamp company I told you about, Your Next Stamp . This is their first design team call and I would LOVE to be a member!

I especially love stamps that require lots of coloring. Both of these images include the following for color -
Copics
Prismacolor Pencils
Gamsol odorless mineral spirits
Gelly Roll Stardust Clear Star Pen




Thank you so much for looking!

Lots of pretty stuff!

Ok, so I said I would be posting some Halloween stuff, but today you get to see a Christmas card instead! I know, I know, kind of random. I am really going to crack down and get some Halloween stuff posted by the end of the week. I promise!! I'm going to try out for a design team, for the new company I told you about the other day - Your Next Stamp - wish me luck!!



Don't you love this card? I made it for a friend's baby, Khloe. This was made with a fiskars stamp, stamped onto pink cardstock and placed on card with adhesive foam. Such a simple looking card, but one of my favorites.



This card is made with the dogwalkabella stamp from Stampingbella. She is colored with Copics, Prismacolor and Gamsol.



This cute snowman is from Darcies, and I got it at Stampfest in February this year. He is colored with Copics, Prismacolor and Gamsol.

Don't you hate when you forget to take a picture...

...with your REAL camera and you have to use your cell phone? Argh!!! I made a really cute birthday card for my aunt and I was rushing out the door and one of my stops was the post office. I forgot to take a pic of the card, and if I waited until tomorrow to mail it, it would have been late. So, I used my blackberry. This is the result -


Not so good. Anyway, the card came out really good. I used a Stampingbella stamp.

Have you heard of a new stamp company called, yournextstamp ? Really cute stamps!! Check them out. I'm getting some!!

Now I leave you with a candid shot that could only be captured with my cell phone because that's what was close -



I was punching TONS of shapes and he wanted to take a pic with the scraps.

Trick or Treat!

Today I'm showing you a cute memo pad I designed and created. To bind it, I used the Carla Craft Binding System. I've never used any other binding systems so I'm not sure how complicated they are, but this one is really easy to use and super cheap. Over the next couple of weeks I'll be posting more and more Halloween projects. Stay tuned!
