Simon Says Wednesday Challenge: Let's Have a Laugh

Happy Monday!! Today I am going to share a Valentine that I created this weekend.

I created this for Simon Says Stamp's Wednesday Challenge blog.


The challenge was to "Create something funny or humorous or a play on words" and to use Paper Smooches stamps if I could. I looked through my Paper Smooches stamps and just couldn't find what I wanted for this card so I used a sentiment from Lawn Fawn's "Science of Love"set instead. It was perfect for the design I came up with. 



My daughter said it was creepy but I LOVE it. I used My Favorite Things camera dies and polaroid dies for my silver camera and the "photo" coming out of it. The background patterns are different strips of Washi tape.



I want to thank you for stopping by today!! Have a great night!!

My Favorite Things Sketch Challenge

Happy Sunday!! Today I am playing with My Favorite Things in their "Get Sketchy" challenge.


Here is the sketch I had to use for my card inspiration:

The card I created stuck pretty close to the sketch, with the exception of placing my strip below the frame instead of on top of it.


I used MFT's new "Picture This" stamp set for the sentiment and various dies for the other elements. The patterned paper was scraps I had used from other projects-something I need to use more of. I used adhesive foam to give the frame some dimension but I am not sure that I like how it came out.

I think my favorite part of this card is the tiny camera. I LOVE this die. I have had it for over a year and think I have only used it once.


I think I will make this a Valentine card and decorate the inside too. However, I will do this later when I figure out whom I want to give the card to.

That is all for today. I have been stamping my heart out this weekend so there will be more to come later on in the week. Thanks for stopping by.

Paper Trey Ink "Bubble Talk"

Happy Hump Day!! Have been having a lot of fun scrapping and card making but no time to blog. Work gets in the way of that it seems. I don't know how all you bloggers keep your blogs up to date, have time to do your housework, work outside the home AND craft. I cannot seem to do it all on a regular basis.

Today I am sharing a Paper Trey Ink card I made this weekend just for fun. I don't get to make cards that often that don't have some person in mind but today I had a bit of time to play. Here is what I created:


I basically just used stamps (Bubble Talk by Paper Trey Ink), ink, Washi Tape, rhinestones and foam dots for this card. I just noticed a mark on the left on the card stock looking at this photo. Eek! I need to have some hand wipes in my room because this is constantly happening to me. I don't even realize that I have ink on my hand until it is too late.


Here is a different angle of the card. I only popped the heart on this, which I used Stickles on. Wish I had left it off but oh well.

Thanks for looking!!
