Stamptacular Sunday #122

Designed by Sprytebyrd on Sunday, July 31, 2011 2 stamps of approval
This week is all about FRIENDS at Stamptacular Sunday!

“FRIENDS are Heaven Sent!”
For this weeks challenge you will create a card or project with a friendship theme for your special friend. Tell us who you’ll be sending it to and why he/she is so special to you and be entered TWO TIMES into this week’s drawing for our fabulous prizes! Oh…and don’t forget to stamp! After all, we don’t call this STAMPtacular for nothing!

Our sponsors this week are Meljen's Designs (with a prize of 4 free images to our winner) and Stamp Fairy (with a prize of 4 free images to our winner) - I'd like to give a big Thank You to both of our generous sponsors!

A very good friend of mine runs the preschool that my son goes to, and her theme for the school is Ladybugs and Bumblebees, so I thought that this image was just perfect for her!  And the sentiment is so true, everything in life really is easier with her as my friend!  


Remember to tell us a bit about your friend when you submit your card for our challenge this week!  I look forward to reading about the friends who inspire you to create!

It's a Garden Party challenge at Sentimental Sundays!


Have you seen these new "Gluber" things??  I bought a pack the other day, and making this flower was so much fun with them!  They're just super sized glue dots, and with a little twist of ribbon, this is what you get!  So much fun, and so easy to coordinate the flower with your project!

Come on over and join us this week at Sentimental Sundays!  It's sure to be a beautiful week!

Pollycraft has a super cute Monster Freebie running this week and I just couldn't wait to get him colored up and put on a card!  So Much Fun!!!

Meet - Gorgeous!


This is one of those cards that really just built itself... the paper just seemed to "fall" out of my scrap pile and his eyeglass(es) just begged to be colored in orange.. the sentiment jumped out at me - all just perfect!  And, I love it!  As an added bonus - I made 4 cards that day, showed them all to Hubby and he picked this one as his favorite!

Challenges for Gorgeous to play in:

Totally Stampalicious - Anything Goes
The Crafty Pad - Embossing (Dry)

I loved this image set from TLC when I first saw it and I am so excited that I finally got a chance to use it!

We're creating MASCULINE cards at Sentimental Sundays this week!

Meljens Challenge #66

Designed by Sprytebyrd on Wednesday, July 06, 2011 11 stamps of approval
We've got a new challenge for you at Meljens Designs!  This week, we'd like to see you use

No More Than 2 Layers!

Trust me, it's harder than it sounds!!  LOL!

I decided that the easiest way for me to do this, was to create a single layer card!  This isn't something that I do very often, but I always seem to like how they turn out!


I used "Cheer Girl" from our new release


Her uniform is actually colored light purple, but for some reason, that isn't showing up in the photo!  That's ok, though, the purple ribbon gives you a hint of what color I used :)

I'd like to enter this card into the challenges at
Fab 'n' Funky - Purple Haze
Digital Tuesday - Bling It Up
Cupcake Craft Challenges - Single Layer Cards
Stamp Something - Digi Day

Thanks for visiting!  Your comments are always appreciated :)

We're keeping things easy for you on this holiday weekend at Sentimental Sundays!

Our challenge for you is:

Anything Goes!!  (But, don't forget your Sentiment!)

I've made a couple of ATC's using some super cute cupcake sentiments


I've really started having fun with these little ATC's!  My Mom got me started on them and they're a cute, fun way to use up scraps and finish a project in just a few minutes!

If anyone is interested in trading with me, I'd love to hear from you!!  I'll be posting more photos of my ATC's along they way.  You can email me anytime by clicking the KontactR button on the top right side of my blog :)

I hope you'll come join us at Sentimental Sundays this week - with a challenge like this, there's no excuse not to!  Have fun and I'll visit you soon!
