I am excited to introduce you to Mad Gab.  It is a sentiment set that is crammed full with so many different words... you will love it! 

This is the first page of 2 new 8" x 8" albums I am making for my kids and niece in Florida.
Yes, I do their scrapping, as well as, my own.  I am a busy beaver!

Here is my Great Nephew, Evan and my son, Grant.  You will see a lot of this sentiment set in the coming weeks, as I will be using it for many of my layouts.

I hope you go over to TAWS and follow the rules so you can get the chance

For my card I used one of the little cupcakes to make a patterned paper.  I love these little images;

I am super excited to share my project with you today.. :)

  I created this card using the new background stamp named Phraseology.  The stamp actually measures 3 3/4" x 5 1/2".  I just used a small portion for this project.  There are so many words and phrases included on this fun stamp...everytime I look at it, I find more!

I stamped the image onto blue paper and then again onto yellow, since I wanted the sentiment to stand out.  I cut the words out of the yellow paper and used some foam tape to pop it off the card.  I found some eyelet lace and blue rhinestone trim  in my stash that was just perfect for this.

Thanks so much for stopping by today.  I hope you will participate in the hop instructions above, so you have a chance to win some awesome stamp sets!

Hugs,

Marcy

I am super excited to share my project with you today.. :) I used the new set  Crazy Critters.  There are so many adorable stamps in this set...you are gonna love them!

 

 

I colored this adorable fox with my Copics.  I gave his nose and eyes some shine with Glossy Accents.  I stamped the stump onto wood patterned paper.  I felt there was no dimension, so I colored it with Copics to give it some life.  I love raffia for embellishment on "natural" cards and used two different colors.  The sentiment is also from the Crazy Critters set.

You've reached the end of the hop. 

I hope you will follow the directions above in order to be eligible for some great prizes.

Thank you so much for stopping by today...I always appreciate it!

Hugs,

Stretch N' Bubbles BLOG HOP

Hi Everyone,

Today is a special Wednesday over at Stretch N' Bubbles...We are having our first Sketch Challenge Blog Hop. If you came here from Jane's blog then you are in the right place. If you stumbled upon the hop by accident, please go over to the SNB blog and start there. Be sure to leave comments on all the DTs posts along the way to be eligible for some great prizes!

Stretch N' Bubbles is also excited to announce their new Weekly Sketch Challenge. Each week there will be a new sketch designed by Alison for you to play along with. You can use ANY SNB image (if you don't have any, you can pick up a new freebie every Wednesday). You can combine that image and the SNB sketch with any other challenge of your choice. Just post your entry to the SNB Sketch Challenge Blog and you're in the running for a weekly top three award. A random winner will be chosen each week as well and that person will win any SNB image of their choice!!


Here is the Sketch:



As you can see, I took some liberty with the sketch, but it looks pretty close, I think. I printed the image of Sea Turtle (you can find him here) using Microsoft Digital Image program -- very easy -- just copy, paste and line them up the way you want. I printed it twice so I would have the additional turtle to cut out and pop up as the "special" one. I colored all these cuties with copics and added some stickles to the special one. The sentiment was computer generated.

Be sure to leave a comment on this post. I will choose a winner on April 14 and that person will win the adorable Sea Turtle image I used on my card. Leave comments on the other DT's blogs, and you have a chance to win their images, too. Once you make it through the whole hop you will be in the running for the whole blog hop winner which means you get to select any 4 images of your choice from SNB.

Your next stop on the hop is Katheryn. After you've visited all the DTs blogs, and left comments, we'd love for you to play along with our first ever sketch challenge.

Have a great day.
Hugs,
Marcy
