Love my buggs!

Happy Thursday!! I hope you all enjoyed the super amazing creations from the Starving Artistamps Blog Hop yesterday! I know all the designers and guest designers had an awesome time with these stamps and you can be sure to see them again soon!

My poor little Appley-bowl Huggabugg needed some LUV so I used her and combined two challenges with this card! As I haven't participated in any challenges in a while, I felt like making a two-fer last night! I used the Mojo Monday Sketch 94, and the OCC challenge for this week, to make a red, white and blue card! I used papers from the CTMH Animal Cookies paper pack, the wide white ribbon is from the Animal Cookies Creative Basics pack and the lace is from my stash.

I coloured the bugg with prismacolor pencils and popped up the bowl of apples! She's popped up from the circle layer as well.

Thanks for stopping by today! Now that my courses are finished I plan on spending the majority of Saturday stamping! Hubby is having some buddies over to watch UFC Saturday night, so I'll be stampin away!

Starving Artistamps Blog Hop!!!

Welcome to my little stop on the blog hop! I'm super excited to show you my creations using the NEW Starving Artistamps DoodleFactory Classic Decor Collection! You can find the image stamps here and the sentiments here. I had so much fun using the awesome stamps and I know you will too! Be sure to leave comments on every stop of the hop, as someone will be giving away a FREE set of the DoodleFactory Classic Decor set and matching Sentiments!

If you've started here by chance, please head on over to the Starving Artistamps Blog to start off the HOP! Or if you've made your way here from Dawn's blog, you're on the right track!

OK - on with the show!! Here are my creations - I've started with my favourite card! I paper pieced some of the images and coloured others with my Prismacolor pencils. Every single image stamp in the set has been used on these cards! And I'm sure you can find other ways to use them, so I hope these get your mojo's flowing! I hope you like!

Kitty caused some trouble while trying to get the birdy on the top of the clock - flowers knocked over, vase smashed, chair
(which is machine stitched) is torn to shreads and the wall has been clawed - normal day at our house! LOL!

Just think of all the images you can put in these picture frames! I used one of the tiny stamps from another DF set - CA-ute!!

These pretty stained glass images can be coloured SOOOO many ways!

Other sentiments include "Come for tea"... each a great invite card!

Outside of this card - this image is very big so I didn't put very much on the outside, but I did bling it up!

Inside of the card - I used the smaller version of the same image and one of the adorable sentiments!

And last but not least the picture frame that I made for my studio! My dog and kitty are permanent fixtures either by my feet
on on my lap so I thought it fitting to include these adorable images into this picture frame!

And a close up of the image - I used one of the small images to create wallpaper, I made the hardwood floor with a ruler and a permanent pen and paper pieced and stitched the chaise. My internet wasn't working when I created this piece so please forgive me if my King Charles Spaniel isn't coloured properly! LOL!

Well that's the end of my portion of the HOP! If you just NEED to get your set NOW Starving Artistamps is having a 3 day special - starting today if you order both the complete sheet of Classic Decor and the matching sentiments, Tracey will throw in the cling mount for both sets for FREE! Awesome deal! I'm the worst for never having enough cling mount when I get new stamps! LOL!

Your next stop on the HOP is to an UBER talented artist - Nina Aaslund!! Her style is super funky and quirky! Have fun on the rest of the hop! Here's a list of all the stops just in case the links don't work or you get lost along the way!

Starving Artistamps Blog Hop Tomorrow!!

Wow! Yes I am still here! Oh… you don’t remember me? Well, my name is Jenn and I’ve been on a sort of hiatus… for one main reason I will share with you in a little bit, but due to the courses I was taking, the family visiting from out west for a few weeks, the other numerous family events, etc., my life has been consumed and I have no idea where June went! Thankfully, life will soon be back to normal, I can enjoy the summer and I can get back into the swing of things! I finally have my Saturday’s back (note to self: don’t EVER take an 8-5 all day Saturday course again… EVER!!), and this Saturday I’m going to spend the entire day CREATING!! I’ve got some fresh stamps that have been sitting on my desk for over a MONTH and they are pleading with me to be inked up!

But before I get to do that I will have a special post tomorrow! The big day has arrived and it’s the Starving Artistamps Blog Hop for their new release! There are 16 stops on the hop – you can start at 11am Eastern time tomorrow (Wednesday) and hop along to see all the amazing creations! And be sure to leave messages as you go, as someone will be giving away the entire new release – but you won’t know who it is! I don’t even know who it is!! Each stop on the hop will have multiple creations for you to see, so don’t just peek from your Google Reader!

To start the hop tomorrow, visit the Starving Artistamps Blog at 11am Eastern – and each stop will direct you to the next! Can’t wait to see you on the hop and I’ll be back creating this weekend, so you’ll have lots to see next week from me!

Thanks for stopping by!

Project Tuesday Week 10!

Welcome to another week of Project Tuesday! This week we are making a One Sheet Box! The tutorial can be found at SCS here!

This project was super easy to make - considering I stamped in black and that's it! It seems very weird for me to not use my Prismacolors, but seeing as this little gift is fairly small when folded up, I didn't want to overwhelm the front with a big image. The DP is Urban Prairie from Basic Grey (I feel very Sparkle-esque when using this paper!), the sentiment is from the CTMH "Thank You" stamp set and I also used Oyster Bella baubles on the top!

To see how the other Project Tuesday ladies made their One Sheet Boxes, stop on over to the Project Tuesday blog! And I'd love to see your version of this cute little project!

Thanks for stopping by today!

2sketches4you!

Happy Monday! I hope you all had a wonderful weekend celebrating Father's Day! We had such a busy weekend - but I'll tell you more about that later!

Starving Artistamps is sponsoring 2sketches4you this week! Stop on by the 2sketches blog to check out the awesome sketch for this week and see what the other ladies designed with this great sketch!

For my card I used SU! specialty paper, and images from the DoodleFactory Farm collection! All of the elements are popped up for tons of dimension! I love how this turned out because it looks like the rooster is professing his love for ms. cow... but she doesn't look like she's having ANY of that! LOL!! I coloured all the images with my Prismacolor pencils, and the cow is actually more beige IRL... she looks kinda pink here... :) I stitched around the base of the card and on the strips and the bitty hearts are from a Martha punch!

So stop on over to the 2sketches4you blog to see the sketch and play along for your chance to WIN!!!

And don't forget about the Starving Artistamps Blog Hop on July 8th!

Thanks for stopping by today!!
