Stamptacular #62 - I Do, I Do!

Aaaaw, Love is in the air at Stamptacular Sunday this week!

We would LOVE to see a wedding or anniversary card or project

Our wonderful sponsor this week is...

...and they are offering our random winner...

How awesome is that?  If you've ever been to their shop, you KNOW you'll want to play this week!!  And if you've never been to their shop, well... hop to!!  And then, play this week!!

I wanted to use There She Goes stamps on my card, but I only have one set so far... (yes, so far!  I plan on shopping soon!)  So, I used Birdie Wishes, which I won in a blog hop a while back.  I thought and thought and thought about how to make these birdies into a wedding card, and decided to go a little off the beaten path and try for fun colors and cutesy designs.  Its not a "traditional" wedding card, as my Mom says, but I think it came out well.  It's the first time that I've tried sewing around an shape.. I need more practice!!

In a Cozzee mood...

I made a few more Coffee Cozzees today, after I got the groove going in Bradley's Thomas one last night.

Here's what I made, 

This one is for Mom, she found this fabric and wanted a cozzee made out of it, so, here ya go Mom!

This one is for Hubby - he told me he wanted one with a stripe in the middle.. hope he likes it!

And, one for me :)  I found this cool Alice in Wonderland fabric and just had to buy it!

Hope you like them!

Do you have a little one at home who loves Thomas?  I've got an extra Thomas Cozzee to give away!  Just leave me a comment on my Thomas Post for a chance to win one!

A New Coffee Cozzee! (AND BLOG CANDY!)

I've made Coffee Cozzee's for my Hubby, my Mom, my Dad, my Brother, my Sister-in-law, myself, my friends, and even my daughter (who loves Strawberry Frappucinos) but I haven't made one yet for my little guy!  He's only 2 years old, but he also loves Strawberry Frappucinos, so I needed to make him a cozzee too!

He loves it and can't wait to go get a drink to put it on!

Edited -- BLOG CANDY!!
Do you have a kiddo that loves Thomas and Frappucinos??  Really these will work with ANY beverage, McDonalds Shakes, Sonic Limeaids... etc... anywhoo..  - Leave me a comment telling me more about your little Thomas fan and I'll draw a random winner (or 2) and make a cozzee just for them and mail it out to you!  :O)
Enter by Sunday, June 6th...

I Love Digi #8 - For My Dad

It's time for another challenge at I Love Digi!

This week we'd like to see a card you've made For Your Dad!

Our wonderful sponsor this week is...

...and they are offering our random winner £10 to spend in their shop!  Thanks, Secret Crafter!!

With Father's Day coming up, this should be pretty easy.. well.. you'd think, wouldn't you?

I really struggled with this one!

I don't think I'm going to give this card to my Dad, or to my Husband, it's just not quite "them" if you know what I mean.  I do like how it turned out.. but I'll have to keep working on the perfect card for 2 perfect Dads!

So, here it is!

Meljen's Designs - Challenge #9

Hi!

I hope you can join us at Meljen's Thursday Challenge this week!!

Melissa has a very special New Release to share with you this week!  This release is also very special to me.  It's called "In Loving Memory" and was created with Memorial Day in mind.  There are images here to remember our families, our friends and our soldiers.  We have flowers, dog tags, doves, ribbons and even a few adorable angel animals.

I have created a card using an image that really jumped out at me in the release.  When Melissa asked the team for ideas, I suggested a Stars & Stripes ribbon, and when I saw what she created, I was just in awe!  I couldn't have imagined anything better and I am so thrilled to have this image in my collection!

Our challenge for you this week is "Silver and Gold" - that's open to your interpretation, so go have some fun!

Oh!  And, if you are interested in any of the new release images or any other images in the shop, they will be on sale all weekend in honor of Memorial Day!  10% off each and every stamp in the shop!  So, pull out that wish list, and start shopping!

Here's my card - using shimmery silver paper:

A few more challenges for this one as well:

Freshly Brewed: Red, White & Blue
Stamp Something: 2 of Something (2 patterned papers)

Create from The Heart

I am a little slow on the uptake and didn't even realize that my good friend, Heather had started her own Freshly Brewed Challenge blog!  Sheesh... I must have missed that memo!

So, on challenge #3, I am finally joining in!  This one's for you, Heather!

Heather has some adorable images, and I have not nearly enough in my collection!  Maybe I'll win her challenge and get a few more!  :)

This weeks challenge is to make something with our favorite beverage - COFFEE!! (you can make something using your fave beverage, if you're not as into coffee as Heather, Callie and I!)

So, I made a pretty simple card, using Heather's "Cuppa Love" image.  The colors were looking a little funky to me as I was making the card... but I think in the end they all blend together pretty well... at least I hope they do!
