No bugs...

Happy Wednesday!

Are you a 'techie'? does your heart beat for a geek? are you living and breathing in today's high-tech world? If you answered "yes" to any of these questions,
Jaded Blossom's stamp set called "Nerd", is the perfect sentiment stamp set for you!  
The computer is a file from Lettering Delights, it's called Programmed for Love. I used Make-the-Cut to create a shadow around it and a few hearts. Then I welded two of the shadows together to make the base of the card. If you would like to see how that is done, click here to see a video tutorial. Everything was cut out on my Ecraft.
 The papers I used are from PaperTrey Ink and Coredinations.
If you haven't seen the "Nerd" stamp set yet, click here.

I have a few more ideas for this stamp set, so stay tuned! 


I hope you have a wonderful day!

Would you keep me?

Happy Monday!

Did you have a nice weekend? It rained here in southern California. I spent most of yesterday working on blog projects for this week.
 
Today's card was made with my most favorite Jaded Blossom release this month. The stamp set  is called "Cheesy Pick Ups". It is the funnest set, you can see it here.
The dragon is from the svg file, Dargons & Dinosaurs by My Scrap Chick. He was cut out at 3" tall. The card base is a standard A2 size, I layered the front with coordinating papers and then added some twine . Everything was cut with my Ecraft.
The papers are from PaperTrey Ink, Coredinations, and My Minds Eye.
He's pretty cute, I think I would keep him. :)

I Dig You!

Happy Tuesday!

I have a quick, easy, and fun kids Valentine idea, to share with you today!
 I found the pail and shovel at Wal-Mart for $1 in the summer section. I thought it would make a cute Valentine gift for my nephew.
 
 I filled the shovel with a handful of M&M's, placed a small treat bag over it, and tied it at the top with some twine. The scallop circle was cut at 2.5" and the inner circle at 1.85" on my Ecraft. 
The circle heart stamp and the "I dig you" sentiment are both from Jaded Blossom's stamp set called, Valentine Treats. 
He's still a bit too little to eat M&M's... Auntie just might have to step in and help him out!

I hope you have a wonderful day!

I will have some fun sneaks for the rest of the week and then on Friday we will be having a blog hop reveal. 
 The bunny is from Design on Cloud 9's, Spring Cuties file. I used a couple basic shapes from the Make-the-Cut library to form the base of my card and my Ecraft to cut everything out.
 The papers are from PaperTrey Ink, Coredinations, and We R Memory Keepers.
The bunny's sweet face is from Peachy Keen Stamps, PK-440 Cute and Cuddly Face Assortment.

Leprechaun Kisses!

Happy Monday!

Leprechaun Kisses?  Who knew?

 St. Patrick's Day always seems to be overlooked when it comes to scrappy supplies. I was so excited when I first saw this new stamp set from Jaded Blossom!
I knew that My Scrap Chick's Spring Treat Bags svg would work perfectly with it too!
I cut the bag out of PaperTrey Ink Kraft card stock, added a little white stitching around the shamrock, a little bag of green foil kisses, and some green & white twine!   I think that was the quickest treat bag that I have ever made.
Of course we can't for get the super cute Leprechaun stamp! It came from Jaded Blossom's, The Luck of the Irish stamp set.


I hope you have a wonderful day!
