Love Is in the Air

Hello!  It is time for me to share another project for the Crafty Gals Corner.  Our challenge this week is add some sparkle.  Sparkle is pretty easy, so pull out your crafty stuff and play along with us.


This week I used Winter Kiss from Star Stampz.  Aren't they adorable?  She sure has him twitterpated!  My sparkle comes from the die cut from glitter paper, the sparkly heart button, and some glitter enamel dots.  Maybe I should have used more!!  I colored this adorable couple with Copic markers and fussy cut them by hand.

You have a chance to win some prizes from our fabulous sponsors this week by playing along.  Each badge below is linked to the shops, so go have a browse and come back and play with us!

Hello everyone!  I am a little late today with my MoonFlower inspiration post!  So sorry about that!  I missed it on my calendar and forgot to schedule it ahead of time!


This is Lilly Snow White, one of the newest releases at MoonFlower Digi Stamps.  Lilly is the newest member of the MoonFlower family, and I absolutely love her sweet face!  If you look closely at her eyes, they are spectacular!  You will see more of her in the coming weeks and I know you will love what you see.  I colored Lilly Snow White similar to the Disney version using Copic markers.

Winter Wishes

Hello and welcome to another challenge for Crafty Sentiments Designs.  The challenge this week is to use dies on your project.


For my project, I chose to use Cold Christmas.  It works really well for a winter card.  Most of the time I color without really knowing what layout or what papers I am going to use.  I was at a loss for this card until I found this awesome paper in my digital paper stash.  It is from the Carta Bella Snow Fun digital collection on Snap Click Supply.  I thought it made the perfect background for this sweet little girl.  The sentiment stamp is from Endless Creations.

You have a week to play along in our challenge and the chance to win some fabulous prizes.  If the chosen winner has used a Crafty Sentiments stamp or digital image, that person will win two extra images from the shop!  You can see the rules below.


Dies are a fun addition to your card.  Why not play along?

Believe in Forever

Hey Rubbernecker fans!  It is my turn to solo over on the Rubbernecker Stamps blog.  This is the project I have for you today.


I was digging through all of the stamps I have collected and found this Wild Garden Border 2 stamp.  I thought it would be awesome as a black silhouette but needed the perfect background.  I started digging through my paper stash and found this scrap of card stock I previously attacked with Tattered Angels Glimmer mist.  I used Patina, Tuscan Sun and Scarlet.  It has a ton of wonderful shimmer in person.  The sentiment is Believe in Forever and I love that it is a quote from Winnie the Pooh.  He is my favorite and the whole reason I bought this stamp ages ago.

If you didn't pop over from the blog, go check it out.  My teamies are featured each day and we have a team post each Sunday.  All of the projects are drool-worthy so you won't be disappointed when you pop over.

And some exciting news!  Rubbernecker Stamps has also started a challenge.  You have a chance to win some Rubbernecker cash to have a crafty spend in the shop.  The first challenge is birthday.  There are some rules though.  Your project must have a stamped image.  Digi just won't do.  You can use any company but if you use a Rubbernecker stamp, you can enter up to three times!  I am a little jealous!  My wish list is really long!  There are a few other rules so make sure you read them when pop on over and join in the fun.

Hug in a Mug

Hello!  Welcome back to another Creative Knockouts challenge.  Our theme this week is to Finish the Inside!  That's right!  The often neglected inside of the card.  I will admit, I don't finish mine until I am about to use them.  Sometimes that makes things complicated if I can't find the matching paper.  One day I will learn to do it right away, but until that day...



I used Cozy Cocoa from Kenny K for my project.  I absolutely loved this image but she had a Christmas background.  I just fussy cut her so she could stand alone.  The sentiment was a Silhouette cut file that I filled and printed instead of cutting.


This is the inside of my card.  The border is from the Coffee Talk collection from Nitwit Collections.  So is the background paper on the front of the card.  I have been stuck in a coffee theme lately and I love, love, LOVE, this paper!  The decorative elements that come in the collection are awesome too.  I usually hand write my note, so I didn't stamp anything.  I am not sure what I will use the card for in the future.

Our sponsor this week is Kenny K.  There are so many fabulous images in the shop.  Kenny really has his own style when it comes to digital stamps!  You can click the badge below to pop over and see for yourself.  You have a chance to win three image of your choice by playing along.

Sweet Barista

This week at the Crafty Gals Corner, the theme is to add a heart.  It can be an embellishment, paper, a die... as long as it is a heart.


I chose this sweet image from Polkadoodles for my project this week.  I am stuck on coffee themed projects it would seem!  The Barista from the Work and Play 12 collection was a great image for some fun coffee puns.  I settled on this sentiment from the Silhouette store and printed it instead of cutting it.  I didn't realize until I was putting the card together, that my background paper had hearts on it as well!  Bonus!

We have three fabulous sponsors for you this week.  The badges below are linked to each shop so you can have a look around.
