Roses for you

Good Morning.  I can't believe it is Sunday already.  My week has flown by.

Today is the Stempeltraume challenge.  Today's theme is Green plus 2 other colors.  This was perfect for me because I seem to be using Green alot lately which is strange because I normally don't like green.   This is one of by Bildmalarna stamps I bought a while ago.  I made this card at one of the days my stamping friends and I got together but never posted.  I was so busy this week I didn't know how I was going to find time to make a card for today and then I remembered this one.  Perfect!

There are not too many other challenges this card fits but I did find a few.

Hanna & Friends - Unused Stamp. - This is not only an unused stamp but an unused card!!

Your next stamp Challenge - Flower Power - I absolutely fell in love with this little boy holding the roses.  The flowers made the stamp IMHO.

Crafty Angels  - Circles and Squares - This is a great theme!  I love putting both on my cards and my card itself is square!



Thank you for stopping by.  Thanks to everyone who leaves comments.  I love all of them.

Summer Blooms

Good Morning.  Is everyone staying cool?  We are still having very Hot and Humid weather her.  It makes me not want to leave the house. 

Today is the Going Grey with Scrap-Creations challenge.  It is a really easy one this week.  Anything Goes!!  All you need to do is make a card with Basic Grey paper and you can play.  You can also Win!!  Our sponsor this week is Paper Jewels.   You can win a $15.00 Gift Certificate to their store! 


You really need to check them out.  They are where I buy all my Bildmalarna stamps.  The also sell CC Designs and Sweet Pea stamps.  Isn't this one adorable?  I had so much fun coloring her. 

You also need to check out what the other DT's did.  You can find their links on my side bar.


The other wonderful challenges this card fits are:

Quirky Crafts - Summer - Yes it is summer here in the Northeast US.  The think I like about it is my flowers.  I love going out and taking care of them and enjoying the colors.  It relaxes me.
Charisma - All about the bling - Is glitter bling?  I put glitter on the stamped flowers and the flowers I put around the circle are prima's that came with the glitter already on them.  Great huh?


The Townscrapper - Sketch - I really didn't know what to make with this image and I love this sketch.  I think it was perfect for this card.

ABC - W = Weather - The weather here is HOT but it is good to grow my flowers, even if I wilt when I spend too much time outside.

Totally Gorjuss - Sugar & Spice - I like this little lady taking care of her flowers.

The Res-Q - This was a neat theme.  They picked their 5 favorite themes out of the last 49 they have done and you got to pick the one you wanted to use.  I picked Take a Mental Health Break which is to use pastels and an image that makes you smile.  My card is both!

One Stitch at a Time - Seeing Double - I used the MS punch on the bottom and then punched a second one to use on the top.

Paper Sundaes - Pretty as a Princess - I think this little lady is as pretty as a princess.

Drunken Stampers - Coloring and Bling - Wow do they know me or what!  I colored with Copics and my Bling is my glitter.

Cowgirl Sunday - Anything Goes - I like to see some of these themes and I could win prizes!

Practical Scrappers - Use Flowers on your card - I love flowers so this was a very easy challenge for me!

Summertime.....

Good Morning.  I hope everyone is staying cool.  It is in the 90's here and has been for 2 days.  Too hot for me. It is suppose to be in the 80's all week.  I would like it a little cooler or a little less humidity.

Today is the Stempeltraume challenge.  This week it is stripes and dots.  I love both of these so I knew this would be an easy challenge.   I went through this new paper I have from         and thought these colors would be fun.     When I was picking out my stamp this one from Bildmalarna seemed appropriate with the hot weather we are having.  I was hoping that coloring a nice cool image would cool me down.  Didn't work.  I had to resort to Ice Cream.  Stripes and dots are fun.  You should play along with us. 

The other wonderful challenges this card fits are:
Moving along with the Times - Sketch - I liked the simple lines of this sketch.  My middle "square" is bigger than I thought it would be but I really like the sketch.


Handful of Stamps - Water - Yes I want to sit and put my feet in some nice cool water like this little lady.

Pals Paperarts - Summer - Yes Summer has arrived and what better place to be than near some water.

Crafty Creations - It's a stitch up - I love faux stitching and it was just what this card needed.  The polka dot paper just needed something to bring it out.

Spoonful of Sugar - Sunshine  - Who doesn't like the sunshine?  Especially while sitting by the water on a hot day.


The Shabby Tea Room - Summer Fun - Sitting by the water on a hot day just relaxing is summer fun for me.

Simple Doodles - Fun in the Sun - Relaxing and cooling off .....  my type of Summer fun.

Stamp Something - Summer - Great minds think alike.  Summer has arrived and while I love it, I would mind it a little cooler.

Thanks for stopping by.  Thanks to everyone who leaves comment.  I love reading them.

Happy Birthday

Good Morning!  How is everyone doing?  The weather here for the last few days has been beautiful.  Today is going to be cloudy but it will be a good day for me to get some things done around the house.

Today is the new challenge for Stempeltraume.  The theme this week is Round.  Great theme!!  I tore apart my stamping space looking for some scallop cards I bought a long time ago and still can't find them so I made my own.  The only problem is that even with my biggest scallop from Spellbinders I can't seem to fit words on the card.   This was a really fun card to make.  You should join us!  You can win a prize and have fun at the same time!

This is another stamp I bought from Paper Jewels.  Her name is Tossa.  I thought with her chubby face she would be perfect for the Round challenge.

The other wonderful challenges this card fits are:


Charisma - 3D.  The buttons and flowers I believe make this 3D

Spoonful of Sugar - Cute & Girly - This little lady is both cute and girly.

Crafty Creation - Happy Birthday! - another Birthday challenge.  I know I would love to get this as a Birthday card.


C.R.A.F.T. - Happy Birthday! - More great minds thinking alike!!  I have alot of Birthday's coming up so I'm starting early!

Cupcake Craft - Blooming Charming - I love the Rose and the heart charm I have on this card.  I think they both add alot to the look of the card.

Thank you for visiting me.  Thank you to everyone who leaves comments.  I love all of them.
