Sketch Challenge | Creative Scrappers

Hello Friends!

The Month of March is finally here! For us on the East Coast it means spring is around the corner. I am personally anxious for some blue skies and sunshine! 

Let's start the month off with a new sketch shall we? 

This month we have a sketch that will allow you to use some of those left overs you've been hoarding! Yes... we all have a piece or two laying around just waiting for something --- so let's create a layout with those pieces!

You can use 1 photo that measures 4"x4" and another smaller one 2"x2".
Create different sizes of circles and stars and you have one awesome layout!

I would love to see how you interpret this month's sketch.

I used some pop dots for the chair, the girl and also the dog on the chair. It has a 3 dimension look to it. I really enjoyed created this card and it's one of my favs. Those little kitties right ?! Sooo cute. The one on the left under the chair is Archie and Willie is just watching from afar!

So Many super cute stamp sets are being released today. These are all great for birthdays, thank you notes, hello friend and so much more!  The new sets include Fire Up the Fun, Music Chicks, Star Girls and so much more!

My first card is a super cute one I must say. I have no relations with firefighters at all but these are too much fun! I colored these with my Zig Clean Color Real Brush Markers and some distress ink for my background.  I added some grey and black ink to resemble pavement and I used a small stamp from the Paint Swooches and Splats for the texture in the pavement. I used the Stitched Grass Die for some grass so I could add my little dog and firewoman in the background. I added the firefighter on the front with popdots for dimension and then my sentiments.
SUPER CUTE!!!

Hello Card | Your Next Stamp

Hello!
I recently created this super cute card using a stamp set from Your Next Stamp called Fur-ever Friends. I love little kitties and this little one was soooooo cute! I wasn't sure what to do with the books at first but I found that masking a few of the books and creating a larger image was perfect. The cat, the boy and the dog are all adhered with Pop Up dots.

I used some distress ink for my background and colored my images with  Zig Clean Color Real Brush Markers. (Amazon has the best prices!)

The stamp set is from Your Next Stamp and called Fur-ever Friends

Come visit Us at Your Next Stamp this weekend! We have an awesome blog hop and we will be revealing NEW stamps and dies !!! You don't want to miss it ;)

Enjoy the Little Things | Simple Stories

Sometimes we have to remind ourselves to take a moment and breathe. Take a few seconds and look around and enjoy those little things that surround us. When someone is laughing we might say they are annoying, or loud, or being really silly ... but in reality those are the sweetest moments aren't they? 

OK I Just finished watching THIS IS US and I'm an emotional mess LOL!!! 

On that note, This is a layout I created for Simple Stories using the gorgeous collection called BLISS. I am really enjoying this collection because 1 - the black and 2 - the purple! It just seems like a fresh collection for this time of year. 

This collection is shipping in stores in the next few weeks so if you see it --- GRAB IT!
