Winter Schminter!

Yup!  That's what's on my tea mug today and that, my friends, is exactly my current sentiment.  We have another storm coming in today.  I'm less than pleased to say the least.  HA!  Seriously, though, you guys, I am so totally done with this whole snow and cold thing.  I have heard rumors buzzing that it may get up into the high 40's later this week.  I am way more excited about that than any normal person should be.  For reals, though.

So... in that rebellion, I have a summer time card to share with you today using some fun stamps from Fresh Squeezed Stamps!



I used some great papers from Simple Stories for this one, along with some burlap string from May Arts.  I love the beach.  I miss the beach.  I am SO READY FOR THE BEACH, people!  Anyone with me?  Let's go.  Like, nowish?  K.  K.  I'll grab my suit.



And with this, I wish you a warm day!  Weather that warmth be from a good cup of tea, a yummy pot pie, or the sun shining on you from above, I wish you warm!

Have a Happy!

Loopy Love

We are going Over the Edge with CAS-ual Fridays Challenge!  That's right!  Our challenge for you this week is to create a design with an element that is over the edge!  I decided to create a nice CAS card for this one using some new stamps from Fresh Squeezed Stamps called When Hearts Collide!  I love this fun loopy love heart!

I die cut the heart from the white panel and then popped it up on the card base with foam squares.  I stamped and fussy cut the heart and used a different thickness of foam adhesive to secure it in place.  My Wink of Stella brush came in handy to add a bit of shimmer in the 'holes' of the letters!  I love that thing!  Totes, dudes.   A couple of gold and black sequins were the perfect finishing touch!



Be sure to head on over to check out the fabulous OVER THE EDGE inspiration the Girl Fridays have come up to get you ready to create something awesome!!!

Have a Happy!!!

I decided to pull out a bunch of different manufacturers for my fun little Halloween card!  It was SO much fun mixing and matching goodies from Simon Says Stamp!

YAY!!! Isn't it fun?  The ghost is from the Paper Smooches Spookalicious set and is just about the cutest thing EVER!!!  I highlighted him with a very pale grey Spectrum Noir pen that seems to have gotten washed out a bit in the photo, but it looks cute.  I promise.  LOL!  He is popped up, too, making him even CUTER!!!!  The little cityscape is from ON TREND by Fresh Squeezed Stamps.  I love that set!  I created the sentiment using Lawn Fawn's Cole's ABCs dies.  LOVE IT!!!
