Stamping Galore!

Happy Monday! I love stamping so much. It was how I got into scrapping to begin with...and I got sentimental this weekend when I was cleaning out my closet and found a TON of old SU! order forms from when I was a demonstrator.  

So here are a few projects I worked on recently.

Cardstock is Core'dinations Core Impressions Jenni Bowlin red and black. It was the FIRST CI line that Core did and one of my faves!  Stamps are Sweet Stamp Shop and other bits are from old Cocoa Daisy kits. 

And some close ups of the stamping and other goodies. I put the tickets right on this layout.
I am seriously addicted to wood veneers. 

 This is the inside of the card below. Window cards are a fun way to spice things up ;)

This card uses a Cocoa Daisy stamp (the banner). It has a point on the other side but I cut that off to make it  more like a flag (Papers from The Paper Passion September Kit)

I used some Sweet Stamp Shop stamps here ...love these Alpha Doodles more than my own handwriting!

He is my bugger this kid...love him so much. 

Happy Stamping!

It's Raining Frame

Happy Hopping today on the Sweet Stamp Shop release week!

I am here with the It's Raining set. It is so cute!

I covered this fun little frame from Darice with some Washi Tape and then just spruced up the umbrella with some Trendy Twine. 

And I used my Imaginisce I Rock ( loooooove this thing!) and added some rain drops.

Here is today's order:

Prima Doodle Deux and Sweet Stamp Shop Stamps!

I LOVE LOVE LOVE this kit so much. All the reds and yellows just make me happy. The Prima Doodle Duex is one of my new favorite lines for sure!

I have another layout, too! :)
Remember to click on the images to make them larger.

I cut up the doodle chipboard piece and did some stamping.

See that little "xoxo" I used the Sentimental Birds stamp set and took that cute little 

"xoxo" and bent it along my acrylic block to go along with the curves of the chipboard and just repeatedly stamped. 

Some more deets...

I used two SSS stamps on this layout and here they are. I LOVE mixing and matching sets.

want2scrap & SSS

HI! Hope you are all having a great week. It is HOT here!  So it's only appropriate to share with you this layout of our Chaser drinking at his water bowl. He is so funny. He makes these crazy faces, almost like he is going to say something to you so I had to document it. 

I used the Sweet Stamp Shop Buddie Bee stamp. If yo have dogs you NEED this stamp set! 

I put a pawprint on the journaling card and I used the smaller paw print along the side of the layout with the sticker phrases. All of these Prima Papers are from the the FTLOA May kit and they have that strip along the bottom. I always cut them off and never use them so this time I did and used them to frame the layout. 

That woodgrain paper is from Cosmo Cricket Core Impression...my all time FAVORITE piece of cardstock. Then I just added the want2scrap  heart bling over the photo of Chase.

OH AND PLEASE CHECK OUT THE SWEET STAMP SHOP DT CALL. YOU WILL LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOVE WORKING WITH NICOLE AND EMILY AND THESE STAMPS!!!

This month's sets are so much fun!!!

I used To the Moon on this layout...I used Spectrum Noir Markers for the flames and to do the red along the stamped strip along the bottom and to color in the stars.

I haven't been able to put my Black Magic down yet. I have used it on my last few layouts. It is one of my favorite Core'dinations lines. The rest of the papers are from Momenta from our swap with Sweet Stamp Shop a few weeks ago. 

(click on images to make them larger)

And I thought the Handmade with Love set would be fun on the back of the layout to 

record the date and my siggy :)

School's Out Layout

Well..technically this layout is about the First Day of school but who's keeping score right? 

That is the best thing about this stamp set is that you can use it for any time of the school year!

This is one of my favorite photo shoots with the boys (and I mean that in the most casual way, LOL). Owen's first day of 3rd grade and the fam seeing him off....

I used Core'dinations Cardstock and scor'd and then sanded the corners. The stamps are in the upper left and right corners (music..art...gym and the apples). I had Owen write about his day in the lined paper. All patterned paper is Imaginisce and so are the stickers...I embossed the apple.

Used my Cricut for the large title....

Momenta & Sweet Stamp Shop

Momenta Week over at Sweet Stamp Shop!

Check out the blog for chances to win HERE and HERE!

This is the first time I used Momenta goodies and I love the texture of the paper and all the fun stickers!  I used a sticker directly on my photo since they were clear. 

And the across the miles set is going to get a work out in my SSS stamp collection. I looove it. I used a heart in  Arkansas because that is where we were :)  And then on my big stamp block, I rotated a sentiment and one of the cute little doodle shapes.

The black base is Core'dinations Black Magic and I scored the bottom like a street :) Thought that was clever, LOL! 

and how cute is this little clear train embellishment????

Tombow and Sweet Stamp Shop

If you have a pooch...you gotta get this stamp set. It is tooooo sweeeeeet! :)

Chase and Max are our loves in this house. The boys love them and it is so cute b/c Chase sleeps with Owen and Max sleeps at the foot of Henry's bed. 

I grew up with dogs and will always have a dog. There is something about that relationship..especially with children.

So here is a fun layout I created using some Sweet Stamp Shop stamps and Tombow Markers. They are so great! I am not shy about how much I love my Tombow Mono adhesive. I use it for EVERYTHING! I ran the brown marker along the edge of the stamp and then used the yellow (all from the retro collection) for the collar. So I actually used the markers as my ink.

I cut a little slit in his mouth to fit the bone. I mean, he looked so cute and hungry :)  AND I used my CAMEO for that little tag. I finished it off with the Sweet Stamp Shop alphas.

MAKE SURE YOU HEAD OVER TO THE SSS BLOG FOR A CHANCE TO WIN!

Here are the sets I used:

Sweet Stamp Shop and Websters

Happy Friday Everyone!

Today I have a layout to share with you using some Sweet Stamp Shop stamps. I used the Sweet Victoria stamp set on this layout. Patterned paper is mostly Websters and a few scraps from my stash.  As you know, I just love my Websters goodies!!!!!

{Remember to click on the images to see them larger}

I used the smaller circles and added the pretty rosette stamp and then stitched.

Then, under the "DATE" I stamped the half frame. Again, makes it almost look  like

part of the patterned paper.

And here is a photo of the stamp set. So PRETTY! And perfect for any occasion.

Sweet Stamp Shop Reveal Day

Welcome to the Sweet Stamp Shop Reveal Day!
So here is my layout. I used lots of Webster's pages on this layout in addition to the CUTE new release stamp Happy Bugs (image of stamp set below)! It was so perfect for this fun layout about my mom and the boys making homemade mosaics.
Remember to click on the images to make them larger.

These are the fun labels from Studio Calic. They are tab stickers! And if you know me I loooove my tab punch and to have them already done for me is so fun. So I stamped that cute little sentiment right on one. That is the thing with layouts and stamping....you can really add fun little  details that people won't expect are stamps. 

Next up, I cut out a heart and then broke the Websters original sparklers embellishments with my hammer. I made my very own Mosaic! I have always been a huge fan of Webster's. They have this cool new book out called Blueprints. Head over to their blog for a chance to win one!

And then last up.... can we talk about this little cutie?  Not owen or henry ;) but this catepillar stamp. He is SO CUTE! I stamped him on some pp and then cut it out.
