Is this a Church Hat?

Look at me - it's actually still Wednesday when I'm posting my Wednesday card!! :D Go me, go me! *insert cheesy happy dance*  My laptop is on the fritz again, and I'm on my desktop. This will be quick-ish because I get a headache being down here in the basement. I probably need to vacuum and maybe get another light bulb for one that's out...

Anyway, this is my card for this week's sketch challenge at The Outlawz.

The main stamp is Millie from Loralie Stamps, and the sentiment is by Inkadinkado. I made two other cards that I shared on YT with this stamp, but I don't think I put them on the blog. Must do that before the week is over...  You know I always end up making some mistake when I'm card making. This time, I stamped my sentiment so that there was really no way to make my circular card open up and look straight. So...I chopped the back off and ended up using a Cheerios box to make a little stand to go behind this part. I'm planning to send this off into the world and think a standing circle card will be (SHOULD BE) appreciated. :D

Here's the sketch if you want to play along:

Stacey Made This!

My lovely cousin came over to play with my crafting supplies today, and we actually managed to get a card made! I think she was an excellent student and created something wonderful!! She decided to CASE the lovely card found here... and ended up with this:

She said she needs a few more cards for some of her good friends and will be back tomorrow. We'll see what happens... :D

I'll have to update this later...

Here's a tip. Don't drink Crystal Light energy packets after work, especially when the clocks have just rolled back and 11:30 pm is still 12:30 am to your body... I should have been asleep already.

Anyway, I wanted to share this week's card for the Sketch Challenge at The Outlawz. Sketch us being sponsored by Paper Shelter this month, and we have a fantastic prize for one of our entrants. Here's my card using the geisha stamp (love it!) from Paper Shelter:

Thanks, Skeeta, for the flowers!

DeLovely is Still One of My Favs!

It's time for a bit of inspiration at Little Miss Muffet. As expected, this week my teammates created some amazing cards for your enjoyment. I used Cocoa from the Sugar n' Spice Dolls and the DeLovely pad that I love!! for my quick card. As I am currently 2 seconds away from becoming a zombie, I'm cutting this post short! Have a great today! You still have time to enter the PINK challenge...

More Rubber at Little Miss Muffet!

That's right - eight fabulous digis from Little Miss Muffet Stamps are now available in rubber! As exciting as that is, it also means that these digis will be retired and you won't be able to get them in the store much longer! Some of the monster stamps that I LOVE are in this set of rubber/retiring stamps. Once the weekend is over, these digis will be no more, so, if you like digital stamps, I suggest you head over and scoop them up. LMMS rubber stamps are awesome too, though!

Here's a card that I made with the assistance of my little cousin Munirah using the Summer Monkey digi stamp:

Munirah did a fabulous job of picking Copic colors to match papers. I only had to explain what her job was once, and she got busy telling me which colors would work best. What she doesn't know is that this card is going to be for her; I'm supposed to ride up on Saturday for her birthday bbq.

She really wanted to use my markers, but not this time!! She and her sister, Kayla, both made cards by themselves.

Here's Munirah's using the LMMS Easter Lamb digi:

I think I scared her out of coloring hard! We made some Shrinky Dinks earlier, and those have to be colored lightly...

And Kayla's card with a Mayzy Art stamp.

I asked Kayla why this girl is white with brown hands and arms. Just so YOU know, "those are her gloves."  :D

My computer just said it's about to hibernate automatically so I have to run!

Stamp-a-ma-jig!

I can't tell you how long I've had a Stamp-a-ma-jig; it's been sitting in a drawer in the package for a good minute. Last night, it finally saw ink!

Hmm... Do you know which stamps from The Greeting Farm I used to make a "mini me"? I know you can get two, but do you know the third - the one that I pulled out the Stamp-a-ma-jig for?

This is my card for this week's Sketch Challenge at The Outlawz. For me the sketch was challenging like last week's, but I knew one of my teammates wouldn't have a card. Plus, I didn't want to go two weeks without something to share. So, I scratched my head, pulled a magillion things out, and put them all back over and over until I finally had an idea! I ended up using a TGF mash up with a sentiment from Inkadinkado and a kiss token by Flourishes. Once I had all that, it still looked like it needed something. I lucked out and found some swirl brads that kind of mimic the shapes on the ends of the sentiment.

Alrighty, here is the sketch if you want to play along!

Remember, the 2000 Member Celebration starts on Sunday! We have a blog hop, games, and, of course, challenges lined up with prizes for all of it!! We are even giving away a prize just for telling your peeps about the party! Check it out...

The Trimmer Strikes Again!

Somedays, I just don't feel like fighting my paper trimmer. And unfortunately, there are so many crafty goodies that I want that the thought of spending money on something I already have just doesn't work for me. The crooked lines from my trimmer are kind of driving me crazy right now, though. See what I mean?

This picture really looks grainy small...

This card is for the new sketch at The Outlawz. It has Mimi in the Rain from DeNami Design with one of the Friendly Advice stamps by Inkadinkado. The super bright paper is from Echo Park's Summer Days.

And since I hardly "stick" to the sketch, here it is in its unaltered glory if you'd like to play along:

The Sketch prize this month is a set of Spellbinders Flying Beauties!!
