My theme this week is *THANK YOU* ... in any which way but loose ....

Come on and show me your creations, you can stamp, cut, work with stencils or folders, it just has to be a little *Thank You* for a beloved person, someone who cares ....

Back to School ► Use Your Stuff

Hi guys, it's time for another challenge at our USE YOUR STUFF Blog!

Since we are empty nesters with no grandkids, I had a bit of a rough time coming up with a creation for the theme. My teamies came up with the idea of books, and tada, here we are, a book mark stamped with Darkroom Door images ...

I stamped the background with the Woodgrain and the Stars from DRD. The clock on the background is a Stampers Anonymous stamp.

Pen Holder ► *Use Your Stuff*

For our new challenge at our blog over at "USE YOUR STUFF" I made a pen holder with a brusho background and quote stamps from Darkroom Door. 

 

All the other sides of my pen holder ....

This is our mood board for your inspiration:

Have fun and happy crafting ♥

*D*is for Denim ► SoSS

Our new challenge over at the Sisterhood of Snarky Stampers!

This was a hard one to create, I wasn't even able to "think" Denim 😓

Well, since I just had to come up with something, I stamped the cute little guy from Viva Las VegaStamps and masked it with fluid. The background of my tag is a stamp from Darkroom Door, all the text, except the sentiment which is computer generated, is also VLVS.

Hop on over to our blog and throw some snark at us, we're all catchers 💪

Don't you just love Edna, she looks so very distinguished in her outfit. Thanks Sistah Lee, for creating this awesome mood board for us :)

Artistic Trading Coins at UYS ♥

Our new Challenge at USE YOUR STUFF!

 I used a Kleenex Box and inked the backside in several colours. After I stamped some images from Viva Las VegaStamps for more texture, I cut them into "Artistic Trading Coins" (Diameter 2.5"). I stamped and heat embossed the flowers and added a little sentiment. All stamps used except for the background ar Darkroom Door Images.

Happy Week and Happy Crafting ♥

Use Vellum on your project

Good morning, Peeps!

Gail over at our challenge blog at UYS has asked us to create a project using a vellum aspect!

I found a piece of vellum with a sentiment stamped already in my stash and thought it suitable for the challenge :)

I used different colours of distress oxides on the background of my tag, just swiped the pads over the tag and added a little water, added a little wooden heart and tadaaaa .... ready!
