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.

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 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.
