KinderStampO Guest Design Team Thursday and a Give Away!!

Hi Crafty Friends!
Welcome to another of KinderStampO's Guest Designer Thursday!  I am completely honored to be highlighted today and cannot wait to show you my project! 

Today's post marks my 100th post in the blogging world!  In honor of me reaching that milestone, I wanted to give away the amazing stamp set that I used!  All you need to do is make sure that you're a follower, and leave a comment with a way for me to reach you if you win!  Easy peasy, right?!  I will leave the give away open until Sunday, October 2nd at 12:00am MST.

For my project, I used KinderStampO's "Vintage Birthday" set. It's item number K-00002 in the Online Shop!  Please be sure to visit KinderStampO's store... She has such amazing stamps!  And they are super easy to use and go with everything!

Here is what the stamp set looks like...  Cute, huh!?

For the basket, I used Die Cuts With a View "Nana's Nursery Baby Girl"

The Crepe Paper is called "Steamer" from The Cindus Collection

And of course the "Vintage Birthday" set from KinderStampo

Thank you so much for visiting me, and I wish you good luck on winning the stamp set! 

Gift Bag and Matching Thank You Card

Hi Friends!

I hope everyone is doing well.  I sure am these days!  Thank you to my new followers and for all your nice comments!  They sure keep me going on my crafting journey! 

I made this card and bag a little bit ago to thank my sweet Aunt for taking me and my girls to our local zoo.  She spoiled them for sure!  I used my favorite Heidi Swapp flowers as well as her awesome stamps for the "thank you" on the card.  The bling is also from her line.  Love her! 

Thank you so much for visiting!

Meet the KinderStampO Guest Design Team Blog Hop!

As you can see from the picture, I was selected to be on KinderStampO's first Guest Design Team!  I about died from excitement when she announced she was looking for team members and you can imagine how I absolutely flipped out over the message she sent me saying I was selected!

 The motto at KinderStampO is "Live. Craft. Inspire."  Jessica asked each of her members to take those words and tell you a bit about ourselves:

Live.  I live a great life with my awesome husband of 11 years, and our two daughters, ages 5 and 2.  We have a miniature pinscher who is the craziest member of our family. I have been a stay-at-home Mom since November of 2005and I feel so lucky that I get to be with my girls all day!  It's been so fun to see them enjoy rubber stamping, and designing their own cards and pages.  It melts my heart!  Life really is wonderful!!

Craft.  My crafting style is ever changing. I absolutely love metal, bling, and clean lines.  I started crafting in 1996, using only brass embossing templates and a glue stick... My how times have changed!  My true loves are my Cricut and Gypsy.  You won't find me doing many crafts without them.  I'm addicted to acrylic stamps, and try to use them in most of my projects.  I'm constantly on the lookout for any new techniques or products that I can try. I love crafting tools and have a vast collection of eyelet setters, paper trimmers, and wire cutters.  I really never can have enough crafting supplies!!

Inspire.  I find inspiration in all facets of my life.  Grocery shopping, laundry, pedicures... The list goes on!  I love to get out and experience things, and my hope is that you can find inspiration from all of the amazing team members and get out there and craft! 

I would like to thank Jessica for giving me this once in a lifetime opportunity.  She is such an amazing crafter and so sweet.  She definitely makes some of the coolest things I've seen.  I hope you're excited as all of us are, and I cannot wait to get started!

For a chance to win some blog candy from KinderStampO, please visit the Facebook Page and let them know I sent you.  You can also leave a comment on each of the Guest Designer's Blogs and one lucky winner will win a prize from KinderStampo!!

Happy Hopping!

Crayon Wreath

Hi Crafty Friends!

My project today is one that I found while checking out the amazingly talented Ruthie at www.septemberninth.blogspot.com a few weeks ago.  She is such a wonderful crafter and is always so great to share instructions on how she does things.  She definitely gave me the confidence to try this, and I was SO excited that my daughter wanted to make one for her new Kindergarten teacher.  Thanks, Ruthie!  Be sure to visit her blog... you won't be disappointed!!

My Creative Time Throwback Thursday Challenge

Hi Friends!

This week at http://www.creativetimeforme.com/ Emma asked us to use a retired cartridge...  I was SO excited!  Not only that I could join her, but that I could use Indie Art... my absolutely favorite cartridge!  I found another stamp that I have had forever and thought the darling strawberry from Indie Art would match perfect.  Be sure to visit My Creative Time to see all the beautiful entries. Thank you for visiting!!

LFIF Shape Challenge

Hello Friends!

The "Let's Face it Friday" Challenge for Peachy Keen Stamps was to make a shaped card and a Peachy face!  I've had this "Cherry Hello" stamp for over 10 years, so I figured I could use a cherry and my card just fell together!  I was so excited to join PKS again for their awesome challenge!

Thanks for visiting!!

Peachy Keen Stamps LFIF - SO PUNNY!

Hi Crafty Friends,

I was SO excited when I read about the Peachy Keen Stamps "Let's Face it Friday" Challenge... We had to incorporate a pun of any kind to our project.  I knew right away what I was going to do, but it turns out that making a card around a piece of meat is not as easy as I thought!  But, I do love how this looks, and I'm sure I could use it for a forgotten birthday or anniversary...  Hop on over to Peachy Keen Stamps to see all of the entries!

Thank you so much for visiting!
