Here is the project I created for today's hop: 

For my creation today I used the fabulous new image My Heart Cake! I simply love coloring images from Crafty Sentiments Designs, and these cuties are no exception! I think our stamps keep getting better and better!

Today I went with the traditional pink card, but I didn't use just any shade of pink, I used HOT pink! I wanted this darling image to really pop off the card and grab your attention. I used almost tone on tone for the card layers so that stark contrast of the white around the My Heart Cake stamp would be more noticeable. I also added little touches of Candy Dots to finish off the layering and corners of my finished card.

For Valentine's Day or 'Love' creations you usually see lots of pinks and reds, but for today's card I thought I would change it up and I instead used these lovely shades of coral. I accented her dress and shoes in corals and added some pink to her socks and apron. I think these tones all worked well together. Then to make the stamp stand out I used some dies to cut our darling Hanging Hearts into a circle with some scalloped corals behind. I finished it off with this yummy ribbon make the whole card pop! I do hope you like what I had to share with you today!

Riley and Company Challenge - Be Thankful!

Today we are kicking off a new challenge at Riley and Company! Every other week we share a creation for our challenges and it's always a blast! This week Heather is hosting our Riley and Company Challenge which is to create a 'Be Thankful (veteran's/Remembrance Day, thanksgiving, friendship, etc.)'!

For my card I decided to use one of the fabulous Moosehatter! When I think about a reason to be Thankful or who I would send a card to for this theme I think of all the fabulous friends and family members I have that should have a glass raised to them. When I started going through my images this one popped out, and our Moosehatter is raising a cup of tea. I also went with reds, oranges, and yellow shades which are all perfect for Thanksgiving as well.

Thank you for stopping by and checking out our new challenge, be sure to come back again soon to see what I create next. Also, stop by the Riley and Company Blog to play along as well!

I had so much fun with this week's challenge! I know that I could easily use any Crafty Sentiments Designs images for this challenge, but I finally decided on Skip Skip! I wanted to create a card that felt like this care free little girl enjoying her jump rope! I stuck with shades of teal and little touches of pink for accents. I think this card turned out better than expected and I love the overall look to this one. A fun a happy card, one to hopefully make you smile!

Happy Halloween and a SBS Challenge!

Good evening and Happy Halloween!!! I wanted to share with you a card I made using the fabulous freebie image for the Simply Betty Stamps FB Group! Simply Betty Stamps once in a while SPOILS the SBS FB Group with a Freebie! There used to be full challenges with the free image, but this time we did a very quick creation that was for this weekend only and you just needed to be sure to post your completed projects by this evening October 31st.

This time the wonderful image we got to play with is Demonic Babe, and I had a blast working with her! Simply Betty Stamps just finished celebrating their 13 Days of Halloween, but the FB Group has all sorts of challenges and things going on all weekend too! The challenge for this creation was to make a card featuring either a 'Good' or 'Bad' Demon. I decided to go with the 'Bad' Demon and made a darker card and used mostly Halloween color to celebrate Halloween. I love how she turned out, all these shades of orange worked out well together!

Thank you so much for checking out my creation today, I had so much fun with this challenge and I love how this creation came out! I hope you have a great day!

Riley and Company - Monochromatic Pink!

Today we are kicking off a new challenge at Riley and Company! Every other week we share a creation for our challenges and it's always a blast! This week Kerin is hosting our Riley and Company Challenge which is to create a 'Monochromatic Pink in honor of Breast Cancer Awareness month'!

For my card I decided to use one of the fabulous Riley image in our store and I picked the fabulous and fun Sleepy Riley! I have had this stamp for what seems like forever and I just love how cute this one is. I thought this could easily be a Sophie or Riley in Pink PJs, especially in October. I added some different Pink ribbons, papers, and embellishments! Super fun to create!

Thank you for stopping by and checking out our new challenge, be sure to come back again soon to see what I create next. Also, stop by the Riley and Company Blog to play along as well!

I had so much fun with this week's challenge! I know that I could easily use any Crafty Sentiments Designs images for this challenge, but I finally decided on Jasmin - The Witch! I love her hair and entire swag she has going on! I added some fun Halloween colors of black and orange, plus Halloween papers then completed it off with brads!

I do hope you enjoyed my creation for today, be sure to head on over to the Crafty Sentiments Designs Blog and check out the rest of the fabulous DT samples and of course to enter in on the fun! Have a fabulous day and thank you for stopping by.

This time the wonderful image we got to play with is Bat Queen Betty, and I had a blast working with her! Right now Simply Betty Stamps is also celebrating their 13 Days of Halloween! The current challenge is Traditional Halloween Colors - Orange, Purple, Lime Green and Black Anything Goes. When I saw this challenge posted I jotted it down, in fact this is the first 13 Days of Halloween Challenges I could play along with so far this month, but I have been keeping track of them all. Life and work have been to crazy to join in on the fun until this afternoon so I am so excited that I saw that these two challenges would work so well together! I used this fun Halloween Parade Designer Series Paper from Doodlebug Designs and paired it with some fun Halloween colored cardstock. I also added a touch of bling, which always helps! I just thought that her hair would look regal if I colored it in Gray and then the rest sort of fell into place.

Thank you so much for checking out my creation today, I had so much fun with this challenge and I love how this creation came out! I hope you have a great day!

I am sharing two projects today featuring the new Funny Bones!You are going to roll over with laughter at some of these new Funny Bones, I just love the variety!

My first card is above featuring this fabulous new Funny Bone that makes me smile! I paired it with lots of pinks and this fun Riley Image, Fire Breathing Riley! I love how the Riley Images compliment so many of the amazing Funny Bones line! Since the Funny Bone was about fire it was only natural that I just HAD to use oranges and yellows, I thought it would make this guy pop even more than he already does!

My second card features just one of our new Funny Bones, this one made me giggle when I read it. Again, I am not a coffee drinker, but this sentiment really made me think of several people I know! I know so many people who do take their Coffee 'Seriously', that's just the perfect way to put it! I paired this new Funny Bone with this fun Coffee Cup image which is also new and I added it to some calm designer series paper!

Riley and Company September Release - Day Two!

Today is Day Two of the Sneak Peek of the September Riley and Company Release! You are going to LOVE all the of the new releases, there are so many fabulous Funny Bones to enjoy!

For my card I decided to use this fabulous new Funny Bone about Shoes! I simply laughed out loud when I saw this Funny Bone and matching Shoe stamp and I had to use it! That's right, this wonderful Shoe image is a new stamp too! I know over the years these types of shows have baffled me, in fact I have sent messages to friends with some 'OMG' comments when I come across crazy shoes. Could I walk in a pair? Probably for an event if I wanted to....do I? Nope. It's just not going to happen, but man some shoes do look good!

Riley and Company September Release Peek - Day One!

Today we are kicking off the Sneak Peek of the September Riley and Company Release! You are going to LOVE all the of the new releases, there are so many fabulous Funny Bones to enjoy!

For my card I decided to use this fabulous Funny Bone about Hangovers and pair it with Suzie! I just thought that this image was perfect for this sentiment! I don't drink, but I just felt like this pairing complimented each other nicely. The prim lady trying to hold it together while talking about punishments. It seemed to go hand and hand for me!

Riley and COmpany Challenge - Off the Edge!

Today we are kicking off the challenges at Riley and Company! Every other week we share a creation for our challenges and it's always a blast! This week Kelly is hosting our Riley and Company Challenge which is 'Off the Edge'!

For my card I decided to use more than one of the fabulous Riley image in our store and I picked two: The Moosehatter and Sophie in Wonderland! I wasn't sure where to start for this challenge, but when I started thinking about images that would be off the page I just HAD to use the The Moosehatter! I colored him in shades or orange and green I thought he would use bright colors together and of course I added Sophie in the traditional character colors. I simply love this set of images, they are so much fun!

Thank you for stopping by and checking out our new challenge, be sure to come back again soon to see what I create next. Also, stop by the Riley and Company Blog to play along as well!

Crafty Sentiments Designs - Colors of Autumn

Today kicks off a brand new challenge at the Crafty Sentiments Designs Challenge! This week Audrey is hosting the challenge for Team "A", and her challenge for today is...'Colors of Autumn'!

I had so much fun with this week's challenge! I know that I could easily use any Crafty Sentiments Designs images for this challenge, but I finally decided on In the Background! I loved coloring this image in, I love our digital images and this gal has some sass and she is darling too! I colored her in orange shades and of course gave her blonde hair which I think works well with the orange too. I also created some blades of grass for her to wander over.

I do hope you enjoyed my creation for today, be sure to head on over to the Crafty Sentiments Designs Blog and check out the rest of the fabulous DT samples and of course to enter in on the fun! Have a fabulous day and thank you for stopping by.

For my card I decided to use one of the fabulous Riley image in our store and I picked Hammock Riley! I know that I used this guy not too long ago, but I do love this image!I know that summer is coming to an end, but this card just makes me smile! I tried to go with a summer/water theme and I think it worked. I used shades of orange and blues to make this guy pop too!

I had so much fun with this week's challenge! I thought I could use any Crafty Sentiments Designs image for this challenge, but I finally decided on, Daydreaming!
