Sweet Baby Mine

Hi Everyone,

Isn't this one of the cutest babies ya ever saw?  Hee Hee, I think so!  This is my Great Nephew, Evan.

I am working on a board book scrapbook for my niece; his Mom.

I love making these board books.  I buy them for $1.00.  After I cut  the books apart, I sand the pages so that the papers have some "tooth" to grab onto.  I always use gel medium as the adhesive.  I have found through the years that this is the best glue for these books. 

The title is stamped with The Alley Way Stamps set, Mad Gab. 

As I finish the pages, I will post them.

Have a great day and thank you again for stopping by.

Hugs,

Marcy

Hi Again,

This week at DYSU we want you to use a landscape in your project.  It doesn't matter if your

landscape includes land, sea or air...your choice. 

My landscape and fun fello, Teeko, is from Doodle Factory Stamps Tropics collection. 

All are colored with Copics.  Teeko has a nice thick coating of Diamond Glaze to make him shine. 

The sentiment is from two more of Alison's stamps sets.  Welcome is from Jibber Jabber and  friend is from Monster Madness.

Thanks again for stopping by.

Hugs,

Marcy

Welcome Neighbor

Happy Thursday,

This is the first of two posts today.

I made this card using 2 stamp sets from TAWS.  Alison's sentiment sets are so versatile.  You can really make any sentiment that you need by mixing and matching her sets.

For neighbor and new I used this month's new set named Mad Gab.  Welcome is from Jibber Jabber. 



The houses are cut from a sticker made by 3 Birds Designs. 

Our BLOG HOP with Ribbon Caoursel is still going on, so I hope you check out yesterday's post here and follow the HOP...there are some great prizes to be won!

Please check back later for my DYSU challenge post.

Thanks so much.

with a pot of gold at the end for the blog hoppers! 

That's right.  I mean prizes! We're talking some GREAT prizes!  

A little about the Ribbon Carousel -

We have partnered with another Woman-Owned-Business, literally in the same county here in WA state, to help manufacture the Ribbon Carousels^©. Sherri is a gem and I am very grateful for all she does. The raw materials are made in the USA.  So the entire product, from design to finish employs and supports people here in the United States.  This was VERY important to me, and I hope it is to you too.  You are getting a product that is of the highest quality, gorgeous, functional and made by two U.S. women-owned businesses.  

Now, lets talk about the prizes!  

One lucky blog hopper will win a ribbon carousel  and another lucky blog hopper will win TWO stamp sets of their choice from The Alley Way Stamps!

Monster Bookmark

Happy Tuesday,

I hope everyone had a great Mother's Day.  I surely did! 

Isn't this little monster adorable?  I made this cutie into a bookmark for my nephew who loves to read.

The monster is from The Alley Way Stamps set named Monster Madness. 

I got the idea from this tutorial at Splitcoast Stampers.

It's really easy to make one, or many,  of these bookmarks for little gifties or favors. 

 You can see it's magnetized... So clever!

I was lucky enough to get some physical product to work with this week.  This beautiful flower came from a set named Flowers by Inspired Stamps.  I stamped the largest flower 3 times onto red card stock.  I cut out the center of one image.  I cut the second flower out  and then cut off a few petals.  Then, I cut the entire image out of the third  flower.  I coated all three pieces with a nice thick layer of  Glossy Accents.  Using foam dots, I stacked the pieces. 

I hope you go over to DYSU and check out the rest of the DT creations. 

Have a great weekend and thanks for coming by today.

Hugs,

Hello There



Hello There Chickies,

Here is another card I made using The Alley Way Stamps' new releases for May.  The sentiments are from Mad Gab, Kitchen Gadgets 2 the adorable Chickie is from Priceless Joy.

I paper pieced the chick.  These delicious papers are from My Minds Eye  6 x 6 pad named Fine and Dandy Girl.  The flowers are Prima. 

I hope you go on over to TAWS and check out the other great  projects there to inspire you.

Thanks so much for stopping by today.

Hugs,

Marcy

I heart you!

Happy Monday Everyone,

Isn't this colander just adorable?  I think so.  It's from Kitchen Gadgets 2, one of the new sets debuted last week at The Alley Way Stamps.  The sentiment is from Mad Gab, which is another one of the

new sets at TAWS.

It's hard to tell. but the colander is stamped onto silver card stock.  I used Staz-On so that it wouldn't smudge.  I stamped the hearts, also from Kitchen Gadgets 2, and colored them in with Copic R27.  Then I used red Stickles on some of the hearts to make them pop.  I added some extra bling on the corners with rhinestones.

I will be giving this card to my DH next month for our anniversary. 

Thanks so much for stopping by today,

Hugs,

Marcy

Happy Thursday,

Doesn't this little soaker just make you smile?  I thought it was a girl bear, but HIS name is
Charles Relax.  I chose to ignore that and made her Charlene Relax!

These are the two wonderful sponsors for the challenge.
