Riley and Company September Release Blog Hop!

Good evening! Welcome to the Riley and Company September Funny Bones Blog Hop! We will be sharing with you our brand new stamps and giving you the chance to win some too! You should have arrived here from Stephanie's Blog, if not head on up to the  and see what she has to share!

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 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.

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! I loved coloring this image in, this darling little guy named Henry is just too darn cute! This image makes me think of all the boys that must be looking longingly out the window now that school has began in most areas of the US.
