Oh Gnome!

 Hello, my crafty friends... can you believe it's already May! I received some really awesome goodies to play with from Scrapsalot and I couldn't wait to get crafting! So I thought I would share this cute little card I made using Lawn fawns Oh Gnome set...it was easy to make a small scene, I used a couple of the small dies from the mushroom house set I had to piece together the grassy area it might be time to invest in a grass die cut set LOL ...this kind of reminds me of may flowers...I have tulips popping up all over my yard.

 The gnome set can be used in many different ways. I'll be showing a couple different ways throughout the month.
 You can find the inks and stamps used on this card at Scrapsalotllc.com or click on the photo to go right there! :)

thank you for coming by and checking out my blog!

Ready for a new challenge?

Good afternoon my crafty friends, today I want to share the new challenge going on over at Archiscraps ...as always we take inspiration from architecture photos ... this month is a beautiful building in Melk Abbey in Austria.
Criteria for this challenge is to use yellow, black and white with a clock!

 I decided on a retirement card...I think I pulled all the elements together nicely!

I hope you'll stop by Archiscraps and play along with us!

Stella says sketch challenge 709

I decided on a Mothers day card for this Stella says challenge (sketch challenge over at Catch the bug challenge blog)  UI used the cute little girl image dressed in Mom's clothes...Digi stamp from Bugaboo Stamps. I colored my image using Prisma colored pencils and a bit of gamsol to blend...I used Nuvo drops on her necklace and earrings and just a bit on the flower center.

 I use a small sentiment from Bobunny...simply because my Mothers day sentiment was too big LOL so I added that to the inside of the card...the papers used are from DCWV bright patterns matt stack, I thought they went well with my finished image.

Photo inspiration

I wasn't sure if I had time to play along with the April Photo inspiration challenge over at Catch the bug challenge blog...but guess what...I do LOL I pulled inspiration from the colors and flowers...I used a Bugaboo digi stamp the file is called MISroses ..now I did cut this stamp down to fit my needs just to let you know...

Thank you for stopping by!

getting messy

 So I just wanted to get a bit messy... it's been a while since I pulled out mists and just let go LOL that and I had some new stuff from Scrapsalot that I really wanted to play with...like Nuvo mousse which is wicked cool, I love the dimension and the shine is awesome...I used it like molding paste with a stencil and I also used it with my finger and water to make my flowers shimmer! I combined some old stash stuff with the new..the cute bee is a Free digi from Wonderstrange they have some really cool hand-drawn images...the Daisy stamp is from Stampendous.

Look at that shine...I think I am loving the Nuvo mousse the on;y drawback is the dry time LOL I'm a bit impatient haha

thanks for stopping by, I hope you liked my tag!

as you can see I had fun with this set and it was so easy to come up with ideas... I created the first background by using a Geometric stencil from Honey bee and some distress oxides..I think it turned out great! all Items used on the first card can be found at the Scrapsalot shop

I colored all the images using Prisma colored pencils and I was experimenting with Gamsol..I have to say I love it...I just need to get a finer point on my stump for smaller images.

Stella says sketch 708

here is my take on Stella says sketch challenge over at Catch the bug...I used a cute digi stamp from Bugaboo stamps and some new sentiment from the ink road...

thanks for stopping by!

Back to nature

the theme challenge over at Catch the bug is back to nature...Basically anything you think of when you hear the theme is acceptable!

I thought of flowers and animals..so I went through all the digi stamps I have from Bugaboo stamps and found a couple that would fit this challenge... I really couldn't decide I two so I combined them to make one image...

  
thanks for stopping by...Hope you have a wonderful week!

No ProbLlama

 I love these stamp sets I received from Scrapsalot they carry a variety of brands like Honey bee Altenew, Lawn Fawn the ink road...I love this one from Honeybee called No ProbLlama it's just so versatile...I used this one last week in a festive birthday card and now the design is a bit calmer...and I haven't even used the cacti yet LOL

I promise my next share won't be a llama...
