Aloha guys!

You should just have come from Jessi.  If you missed the beginning line up you can start here with Melanie.
One of my favorite sayings is "You're the bee's knees". When I saw Scrappy Moms Stamps, "Amusing Animals" stamp with this saying I just knew I had to use it to make my KBD creation. I found Lori Whitlock's A2 pop out card in the Silhouette online store and just knew I had to create my project with it. 

I just love KBD's cutie Kadoodle Bumble Bears and don't you agree that SMS stamp goes so well with it?

I used my handy dandy Stickles accents to glitter my project as well as the "Bee's knees" on the stamp. To create my eyelashes I used my Micron pen 0.05 and fanned out the lashes. To top off my card I used dies from Jaded Blossom.

Up next is the super talented JoAnn and her awesome creation.


Hope you guys all enjoy my card.

Not My Circus...

Hi all,

Thanks for stopping by. Have you ever had those moments where you got yourself involved in other peoples problems, jobs, errands, etc. and it quickly spiraled out of control? I know I have and every time it happens, I can't help but think, "How do I get myself involved in this mess?!!"

To honor these special occasions and to remind myself to not get involved in things beyond my control I made myself a shadow box picture frame.

Lol! Isn't that sentiment the funniest? It has been popping up all over my Facebook wall and when I saw that KBD had a circus theme, I just knew I had to create my own version of this.

To color the frame, I finally got around to using my now much loved, Ebrush. Holy moly is this thing awesome! I can totally see myself using this bad boy to ink the edges of my creations instead of constantly using my sponge and stamps. 

The ticket stamp came from Stampin Up and just added that finishing touch to remind me I don't have tickets to other people's circus'.

Hope you guys had a great laugh with this one.

Witch's Brew

Hi guys,

Thanks for stopping by. Halloween has got to be one of my most favorite holidays. Who doesn't love all the free candy their kids bring home? LOL...for me, it all just goes straight to my thighs, but the candy tastes so delicious getting there.

To honor this awesome holiday I created this super cute Charmkin Potion Witch from Kadoodle Bug Designs. Would you believe the background scenery is also from Kadoodle Bug Designs? Hurry on over because they're having a super sale going on and the Halloween background and the cute little ghost are going into retirement and once they are gone, they are gone.

It's a little hard to see, but if you look closely, I pop dotted some of the cauldron bubbles and added glitter to them using my green stickles glitter.

Sentiment and die came from Jaded Blossom, one of my favorite places to shop for stamps and dies. The stamp is from their Halloween goodies and the die is from their mini tags 2 die. 

The card shape is from SVG Cuts and is called Cards for Mom. I just love the size this card imports in at. It leaves me able to add so many more details to my card.

Thanks for stopping by and I hope you have a scrappy day.

Little Miss Kokeshi

Hi guys,

Thanks for stopping by. I have forever been wanting to make use of Kadoodle Bug's kokeshi girl.

I finally had a brainstorm and combined the kokeshi file with SVG Cuts, Spring Blossom's box card.

To top off the card I added a pagoda die from Magnolia Doohickey dies to the background.
I am so pleased with the end result.

LOL...my Sashakins decided she needed to be part of the action and just had to pop into the photo.

Oh Hay!

Aloha!

Thanks for swinging by. For today's card I wanted to try a "Bendy card" that I found on the Silhouette Online Store made by Samantha Walker, design id #53893.Just a quick note, I had to lower the height of the hill and fence and move the slots a little further out to create less of a bend to the card.

I knew as soon as I saw the fence I wanted to pair it with the super cute Cutie Kadoodle horse from Kadoodle Bug Designs.com
Horse can be found here:

Aren't all the files listed above the cutest? Highly encourage you to play with these files and post your results. I would love to see them.

The tree for this card came from my favorite tree die, Memory Box Grand Oak Tree and sprayed with adhesive glue, topped off with Flower Soft, Vintage Christmas.

Sentiment on the cloud came from Jaded Blossom's Udderly Adorable stamp.

Hope this inspires you to be creatively crafty.

Have a scrappy day

Panda shadowbox

Aloha,

Thanks for stopping by.

Ever since I saw the bamboo shadow box in the Silhouette store I just knew I needed to create something spectacular with it. 
Kadoodle Bug Designs, Cutie Kadoodle Panda,  gave me just the right idea.

The panda can be found here:
http://kadoodlebugdesigns.com/shop/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=55&products_id=753

I had to make to make the panda just slightly bigger so she could fit into the frame naturally and added the green bamboo to the bamboo shadow box.

Notice my cute little panda eyes? Again, for this panda I used another set of false eyelashes to get her eyes to stand out and am absolutely thrilled with the way they turned out. Highly encourage you to play with false eyelashes :-D

Stamp sentiment came from Scrappy Mom Stamps called Animal Antics and the cutout for the sentiment came from Jaded Blossom labeled Banner dies.

Beary Sweet Birthday Wishes

Aloha,

Thanks for stopping by today.
For today's card I want to share with you this super stinking cute pink bear found here:
http://kadoodlebugdesigns.com/shop/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=3&products_id=702

The base for the card was found on SVGCuttingFiles.com.

Hope you have a scrappy day.
