Make a Wish

Today is a post for  

The Great Impressions Stamps

Did you have fun with last weeks guess our Christmas Carol??? I hope you did. This week we have another week of releases for you. Tons of fun Christmas themes coming your way this week.

So here is my creations using the new stamps

Whimsical Wish (E773) and Prince Charming (F534)

I colored Prince Charming with copics and that was a ton of fun. I am not best with greens but he turned out great. I used some Sparkle n Sprinkle Red Apple embossing powder to emboss the sentiment. I turned the sentiment into a banner by using a circle punch to chomp the ends off and some fun red ribbon along the boarder. The papers are from one of the new Bo Bunny collections. 

Also coming up we have another hop coming up for you!

A Late Halloween Card

Loves Rubber Stamps

has a challenge this week of

Anything Goes

Our Sponsor this week is 

The Cutting Cafe

For this challenge I decided to use the fun and amazing stamp Circus Trixie by Saturated Canary

and used some awesome papers by My Mind's Eye.

Here is a close up of the image!!! Isn't she fun!!! I used my favorite trusty color medium copics to color her. I will branch out her to watercoloring soon. I got some aquamarkers and love them but need to get some watercolor paper that is not raised so I can stamp on it and practice coloring. Distress markers I will have you one day! I have almost all the distress ink pads... minus the fall and Christmas (no longer limited edition). This girl just needs to make a list of what to get monthly for my stash!

Single Layer Card

This week we are doing something special at

Great Impressions Stamps

We are playing a little game of

"Guess That Christmas Carol"

Are you ready for another Carol? 

Don't let the Merry Christmas fool you I really hope you can guess this one. I am not sure what kind of hint I could give you so I don't give it away though.

 I really hope you find time to participate this week!!! We have so many fun creations for you. 

So for my carol card I decided to use the stamps 

Merry Christmas (C409) and Christmas Moose (F219)

I really had fun creating a single layer card. It is not something I do on a regular ever. I find it really hard. But I love seeing them and thought to give it a try!

Come back tomorrow to see what the next Christmas carol could be!

Come back next week also because we will have a new release for you.

Ice Cream and Pickles

It is time for another Sensational Sunday Inspiration for 

Loves Rubber Stamps

I used a Saturated Canary from the store called Ice Cream and Pickles. 

I colored the image with copics, and then used some seam binding ribbon to top it off. My papers are some of my favorite from My Mind's Eye. 

You still have time to enter the challenge this week as well!

Holiday Challenge

Hey Everyone. Happy Sunday. This is post one of two for the day. I will have another post up here shortly.

Today starts a new challenge for 

Great Impressions Stamps

Our theme this month 

Holidays 

( Show us your holiday themed creations)

Very Merry Sparkles and Dotted Winter Tree

I used these stamps to create something like a winter scene

I kept my card really simple as I am still hanging in there waiting for this baby to pop out. I have a scheduled c section for November 20th so I am getting everything ready. I am already dilated though but because of how big he has grown I am at risk of uterine rupture because I had an emergency c section with my daughter who just turned 3 on Halloween. 

So enough personal here is a little bit about my card.

I used some quick silver embossing powder from Sparkle n Sprinkle and some white detail embossing powder from Sparkle n Sprinkle. I also used some grey snowflake ribbon from Really Reasonable Ribbon.  I used some pop dots to pop the Very Merry Christmas out and torn the edges to make it a little more textured.

Hope you play along with us this month!

Thankful and Appreciation

How is everyone doing this week? I am here to share 4 new challenges for you!!! Yes 4!!!

Unique Crafter Challenge

with a theme this month of

Little Girls

Sponsor this challenge is Timeless Afton Designs

Of course right now I have tons and tons of photos of my daughter. I figured why not through together a layout. I used tons of things to create this layout.

Here you can see where I used some molding paste then sprayed it with some Sunglow Tattered Angels mist.

I used some of the newest Prima flowers, a Melissa Frances resin butterfly, a tattered mist sprayed feather, corrugated board, and some cheesecloth.

I used a Prima stamp and some silver glitter letters. I also sprayed the Prima flower with more tattered angels mist. 

Sparkle N Sprinkle

Has a new sketch for the month

I love how this card turned out. I used a new stamp set called Fall Harvest along with some Gold Detail embossing powder.

ABC Challenge 

Our  theme this challenge is 

A is for Appreciation

So for this card I went all out and made my own flowers using colors in the papers. I love last years Bo Bunny fall colors. I love this years paper pad too. 

I used some gold ribbon along with some corrugated board just to add more to the card. 

I of course colored the image with copics. I colored her trying to attempt a watercolor look.

Photo Inspiration 

Sorry I do not have anything to inspire your for our challenge. I had a surprising visit from my fiance because the hurricane shut down his job and he got to come out for a little visit! Downfall is now he won't make it here for the birth of his son because of all the delays and repairs he will be dealing with at the plant there in Virginia :(!!! 

I hope all of you out there are safe and well!

Instant Witch

Happy Monday. Halloween is only a couple days away. Are you ready??? We are. We have even gone to a couple trick or treat parties and some community events already. This stamp is so fun and exciting and great for anyone. Today is my day for posting over at

Great Impressions Stamps

The stamp used is Instant Witch.

I used some brand new Echo Park papers, colored the image with copics, and added some Impulsive Purple glitter. The black ribbon was just for a border and a good friend Barbara gave me the idea for the broomstick (I used black cardstock, orange twine, and part of a Capri Sun straw).

Hope everyone has a wonderful Halloween!
