filled with LOVE....

After being on vacation for almost 3 weeks and I am happy to be home again and even more happier to be back in my craft room...Needless to say I did miss making cards! Who wouldn't...right? So here is my latest creation...I used Unity Stamp's HUGE Jar filled with Love...first time using it and loved it! I used lily bee design Handmade Pattern Block and my old stand by Crumble Cake (though I prefer to say Kraft) from Stampin' Up! I also used their Real Red ink and then I used my Cricut for the heart...
I have been bitten by the challenge bug lately and decided to use this card for Unity Stamp Friends with Flair Challenge...Definitely getting out of my box with my CAS cards...
Hope you like it and thanks for stopping by...

Love Bug

Since reorganizing my craft room I have rediscovered many stamps and embellishments that I forgot about including this cute heart from neat & tangled Just Hello stamp set and this cute American Craft Flair adhesive badge...While reading neat & tangled blog I ran across their little tangles challenged blog...this month's challenge is " Washi It Up" Challenge #15...so here is what I came up with...I have recently discovered Washi Tape and needless to say I love it!... 

Sentiments...

My husband and I recently up graded my craft area (will post pics soon) and while going through my stamps I realized I had a lot of sentiment stamps needless to say I am not complaining :). While organizing them by categories I realized that I had 4 containers full of sentiments not including ones that came in sets. I have to say that sentiment stamps are by far my favorite go to stamp for any occasion. Since redoing my craft area I have rediscovered some sets of stamps that I had not used in a long time and decided to pull them out and see what I could come up with. These two cards are stamps from neat & tangled stamps and the card is a Studio g which I love since there are so many different styles...my favorite at the moment is the circle one...Until next time...Happy Stamping :)

CAS(E) this Sketch #33

Can you tell that I love flip flops? I seem to be on a flip flop card making craze these days. As most  you know I love Stampin' Up! Crumble Cake card stock though I still call it "Kraft Paper". I also love this deadbeat Designs stamp too. The flip flop punch was an after thought and quite the search on the internet. I was happy to find ek had one! Also since it is now officially summer I wanted to use bright colors for the flip flops. I hope that you enjoy another one of my CAS cards...As most of you know I am all about them! Happy Summer and keep a look out for more summer themed cards.

Spring on the Brain...

Snow is falling now and I am on my Spring Break ~ What is wrong in this picture? Can you tell where my brain is right now? I am ready for spring! All I need is a pedicure and warm weather and I will be good to go But in the meantime this card will have to do. I love this stamp and punch. I found this stamp while visiting my parent's in Albuquerque. We took a day trip up to Santa Fe and I found this great stamp store called Guadalupes Fun Rubber Stamps. Every time I visit I always stop by to see what fun stamps they have. Needless to say I never leave empty handed! The stamp is by deadbeat Designs, the punch is from ek success, the paper is Stampin' Up! Crumb Cake even though I still refer to is as Kraft( I am a big fan of this paper and majority of my cards are from this paper), the patterned paper is also from Stampin' Up! plus the ink which is their Rich Razzleberry. I am a big fan of CAS cards, can you tell?

CAS(E) this sketch #20

This is my first clean and simple card challenge for CAS(E) this sketch! I used Stampin' Up! Crumble Cake for card and punch, which is also Stampin' Up! The camera stamp is from deadbeat designs, which I found in a stamp store in Santa Fe, New Mexico. The smile stamp is from studio g which I found I believe at A.C. Moore. The ink is Riding Hood Red from Stampin' Up! I added some Crafting Tape that I bought today at my local Michael's. I really enjoyed this sketch and I am glad that I ran across this blog!
