Papertake Weekly - it's sketch week!

Hey everyone! YAY! I'm back to playing along over at Papertake Weekly after taking some much needed time off. With today being the last Tuesday of the month, that means it's sketch week so we get to play with another one of Dawny's fabulous sketches!  It also means we are sponsored by the fabulous Simon Says Stamp! So without further ado, here's a look at the sketch

And this is what I've done with it

Heehee...isn't this a fun card?? It's going to my grandson JJ that lives out of state.  This adorable bird is from Paper Smooches Chubby Chum Pals. The little critters come with various accessories you can stamp such as the fun glasses. I stamped him on Cryogen White paper and then stamped the glasses right over him. I then colored him with Copic markers and added some Glass Effects on the glasses.  I fussy cut him out and then popped him up onto a Wobble! FUN!!  The sentimen is also Paper Smooches and is from a set called Sentiment Sampler. I love Kim's sentiments!

The papers are some I've had for a while, Cosmo Cricket Material Girl matted with Bazzill cardstock. I added some twine and used a Viva Decor Pearl Pen, and called this one done!  Please be sure and pop over to Papertake Weekly to check out all my teamies fabulous creations, and then we'd love to see what you do with Dawny's sketch. So grab your paper and glue and play along with us! Thanks for stopping by to see me today, and hope to see you back again soon! Hugs!

Papertake Weekly - A stitch in time

Hey everyone! It's time for a new challenge at Papertake Weekly, and this week Dawny's challenge is "A Stitch in Time"! And the best part is we're sponsored by the lovely ladies Andrea and Mary from The Ribbon Girl!  So use any type of stitching on your project, real or fake. I was a little pushed for time this weekend, so I put together a tag for you today. It may have been quick and easy, but I still love how it turned out.


I used the Cricut Expression and the Don Juan cartridge for the tag shape (isn't it cool?).  Then I used that cute little crab critter stamp from Paper Smooches and colored it up with Copic markers, then fussy cut it out. Then came the fun part.... I popped it onto an Action Wobble. How can you use these and get anything done??!! I just wanted to keep wobbling the crab! LOL! Anyway, I inked the background with Distress inks and then ripped a piece of cardstock and inked the edges with chalk ink. Then popped the little wobble crab on top. Oh, that was after stamping the sentiment onto the background too.  Please be sure and pop over to Papertake Weekly to see all my talented teamies fabulous creations, and then we'd love it if you'd grab your paper and glue (and maybe even a wobble) and play along with us! Thanks for stopping by to see me today, and hope to see you back again soon! Hugs!

I've entered this in Paper Smooches inspiration challenge

Paper Smooches by Kim Hughes

Hi everybody and happy Friday Eve! I am a huge Kim Hughes fan, and I'm so excited as she is producing stamps for her very own shop called Paper Smooches! Isn't that the cutest name?!! This adorable birdie is from her set called Birthday Buddies. Love it!  I colored it with Copic markers to match the papers which are from an old DCWV stack called Sweet.

The birdhouse was cut with my Gypsy and Expression using the Stretch Your Imagination cartridge which you can get for  a mere 19.99 over at Hallmark Scrapbook right now!!!  I have been puchasing from them since I bought my Cricut years ago, and you will NOT find better service anywhere! And I'm not being paid or compensated to say that either. Try them, I promise you will love them!  All the cardstock is Bazzill and the May Arts silk ribbon is from Stamp and Create.

The birdie was cut out with circle and petite scalloped Nesties, and both it and the birdhouse are popped up with dimensional tape for lots of dimension. That's it for me today! Thanks so much for stopping by to see me today and hope to see you back again soon! Have a great day! Hugs!
