Of course I have some sets in the mix ...some totally out of my regular style. I don't have a sample of my own to show you, but there have been lots of samples sneaked over the past few days. If you haven't seen them..here are just a few:
This is a sample from Beate Johns. Isn't it amazing? This is a matchbook candy holder using the Love Notes and Life Is sets. I just love what Beate did with this.

Next up is a card my friend Beth made using the Bird and Groom set! How cute is this card?

And look at this adorable card by Lila showing
Hang it Up ! (I love that hanger Lila used!)

Hey there peeps! Guess what? Our Craft Lounge is celebrating it's FIRST BIRTHDAY this month! Oh yea! Head on over to The Lounge and Forum to celebrate! And make sure you join in on the fun scavenger hunt they are hosting! And what kind of scavenger hunt would it be without PRIZES?!? oooooo....Find out all the deets at THE LOUNGE!
Still here? :) Well then I'll show you a card I made with New Moon on my mind. All the images below are from my OCL set, Forbitten. Did you know that Marianne Walker and myself are the two illustrators for Our Craft Lounge?
I wish you could see it better here but those teeth are all glittered up with OCL crafty sparkles ice crystals and those LIPS are super glossy with ranger glossy accents (you can see the gloss on the heart). It really looks gooooood IRL. The front panel has the words 'eternal' and 'love' from the set stamped in SU sahara sand to make a cool background. And how BEAUTIFUL is this paper? It is Fancy Pants "enchanted" and is easily my favorite dp right now! The hearts were stamped on some Tim Holtz grunge paper, cut out, sponged with ranger worn lipstick and I added some copic R59 for shadow. Throw in some sewing, a ribbon and brads and your done! LOL!
So if you've made it THIS far through my post whaddya doin' here?!?! GO! SHOO! PLAY and WIN! (I'm rootin' for ya!) LOL!
Happy November! Hope everyone had a spooktacular Halloween! We had a great time considering it started pouring rain the minute we started trick or treating with the girls. On the bright side...it was unseasonably warm here...so the rain didn't seem too bad here in the big bad Northeast! ;) Here is a picture of my two cuties...Tinkerbell and Supergirl!
I don't know about you but I feel like today has been a really long day! It must be the time change or something but, regardless, it feels really nice! I had some stamping time today and I absolutely L-O-V-E the card I made for the featured stamper challenge over on SCS! Congrats to Miss Boo!! Miss Boo is known for her "clean and simple" style. Here is my take on her card here.
What a quick, easy, FUN card to make! I stamped the flower from my OCL Thankful Flourishes set twice, colored with copics (R22, R27) and cut one out as a whole and one just the leaves. I glued down the base only of the leaves on top of the solid flower so they can curl up and pop out. Then I grabbed my fabulous I-Top brad maker and, using the reverse side of my MME Abbey Road whirlybird dp that I used as my base, I made myself a medium sized brad that is THE PERFECT size for the center of my flower.
How great is THAT? Ooooo how I love the I-top! I sewed around the background panel with my sewing machine....sponged everything with SU sahara sand...added a PTI berry sorbet ribbon tab...and that is IT. Done. Hope you like it and that you get a chance to play along with the challenge! TFL!
The Deets:
Stamps: OCL Thankful Flourishes
Paper: PTI Vanilla, My Minds Eye Abbey Road dp
Ink: ranger black soot, copics R22, R27, SU sahara sand
