Christmas in June? Why Not?

Happy Monday, folks!  I have a fun post up for you over on the Fresh Squeezed Stamps blog today!  Be sure to stop on by and check it out!

It's Your Special Day!

Happy Friday!!!!  I love Friday.  I really do.  I'm even more fond of Saturday and Sunday, actually.  Just putting that out there.  I do, however, have a super-dee-duper fun card to share with you!  Woot! (Oh, my goodness! I just saw the date and it's totally like JUNE 7th!  When the heck did THAT happen.  Yikes!)  Well, anyway.. moving on to funness .....  (Yes, I know that's not actually a word.  I like to generally disregard limitations and/or restrictions on super funtastic linguistics.  Just sayin'.)

This week we have a fun challenge for you over at CAS-ual Fridays!  It's all about Banners & Flags!  I pulled out some fun Papertrey Ink dies for this one and a SUPER cute stamps from There She Goes Clear Stamps.

Shh!  Don't tell anyone!  I totally colored on this card, dude!  Like.. for reals!  I used Spectrum Noir markers to create that cute bit of adorableness.  I love that this particular creature really has no 'real' color so he can totally be teal and nobody can even argue with me about it.  Not even a little.  YAY!  the papers are from the American Crafts Hip! Hip! Hooray 6x6 pad and they are TOTALLY fun and full of awesomesauce colors.  I stamped in Momento Tuxedo Black ink on Crafter's Companion paper because those are the BEST combo for coloring with alcohol markers!  LOVE!

ACK!  Hello, Mr. Happy Pants Cuteness!!!!  (Okay...so according to the package he's actually a she named Phyllis, but I kinda like Mr. Happy Pants Cuteness, so I'm going with it.  You with me on this one?  Woot!  Woot!)
And our prize sponsor this week for the CAS-ual Fridays challenge is Ellen Hutson, so... you probably want to get on that making of an awesome CAS card using flags or banners, dude.  Just sayin'.

Mr. Happy Pants Cuteness and I both wish you the very BEST of weekends!  Make it rock, folks!  Make it rock!
Have a Happy!
Jingle Out!

A Happy Hello

Hello, friends!  I hope you are having a spectacular Tuesday!  Tuesdays should be spectacular, should they not?  I say they shall henceforth and forthwith and such.  And, for this spectacular Tuesday I have a bit of a Happy Hello to share with you today.


Squeee! How much fun are these papers? Totally fun. That's how much. Completely and totally. I so love them. Yes, they are from the American Crafts Yes, Please collection in the Amy Tangerine line. LOVE! I cut out the cameras, and the clouds and sun to create the accents on this card. The chevron border is one of the strips from the top of the sheet. Is it just me, or does everyone else feel like you are TOTALLY getting a freebie with those fun little border strips? It makes them more fun to use. Totally.


I stamped the sentiment in IMAGINE Crafts®/Tsukineko® VersaFine™ Archival Pigment Ink in Smokey Grey and the small heart is stamped in IMAGINE Crafts®/Tsukineko® VersaMagic™ Chalk Pigment Ink in Pixie Dust. I just like that color because it's called Pixie Dust. Not gonna lie. HA! The stamps are from the super cute Hello, Foxy mini stamp set from Papertrey Ink.

I hope you have a super fabulous and absolutely spectacular Tuesday!

Have a Happy!
