Be Unique!

Happy Valentine's Day!!!

Today, I created this card using 3 sets from The Alley Way stamps.  I think it's so fun to find different ways to use images. I used the  Background Basics dots for the sky and inked up the chevron with various greens  for grass.  I wrapped some green floss around the card to give Foxy a place to sit.

The cloud was stamped from the Crazy Critters set and the sentiment from Talk to Me.  I ran the sun through my Cuttlebug using the Swiss Dots embossing folder.   I used pop dots to make the cloud and Foxy pop off the card.



I hope you have a great day!!

Hugs,

Marcy

The Finish Line

It's Friday...YAY! 

 My project for today is the final page of the album I made for my kids' celebrating

their New York Marathon run. 

 I used the fantastic word bubbles from The Alley Way stamp set named

Talk to Me and mixed it with some other sentiments from Crazy Critters. 

These word bubbles are so fun and versatile. I use them on cards and scrapbook pages.  The best part is that the bubbles are separate from the words, so you can mix and match them with any stamp sets you already own.

Thanks for stopping by today.  I always appreciate when you leave some love.

Hugs,

Marcy

Oh Happy Day

Happy Day Everyone,

Today I decided to make a very CAS (clean and simple) card using this adorable

squirrel image from The Alley Way Crazy Critters set. 

I went with one of my fav boy color combos - blue and brown.  To keep to the simple theme,

I only added some coordinating ribbon and  one button for embellishment. 

I entered my card in the following challenges:

Creations by Gill M - Color challenge

Lili's Little Fairies - Oh Boy

Divas by Design - Anything Goes

Thanks for stopping by today.

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!
